Sunlight streamed through Basil's window as she groaned inwardly. "It's morning already?"she asked herself as she struggled to stand up. "What's this?"she asked, picking up a flaky pastry covered with sugar. "Mmm.... looks tasty."she murmured, about to take a bite. "But, don't!"cried a liting voice with a slight American accent. "You can't! It could be covered in Dark Arts!" Basil swung around to see the speaker. The speaker was a tall, wiry girl with long black waves, squinty eyes, and a pinched nose. "Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot eat?"Basil asked with her usual air of defiance. "I am a teaching assistant for Defense of the Dark Arts..."the raven-haired girl answered. 'Strange how she looks about the same age as me.'Basil thought. "And your fraternal twin sister."the girl finished. Basil shuddered. "You're my what?" "Fraternal twin sister. You heard me! Basil..... we're sisters!" Basil began to laugh hysterically. "Yeahright!"she said, right before she fainted.
