"Is anyone else finding this movie to be a little boring?" Ron asked
halfway through Star Wars.
____________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________
"What's boring about it? It's a classic. There are bad guys, good
guys, and light sabers. What could be more fun than light sabers?" George
was now transfiguring a nearby pillow into an authentic red light saber,
equipped with wooshing noises.
____________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________
"Yeah, George is right, it's a great movie. But there is something
that always bothered me. Why aren't there ever any girl Jedi Knights?"
Devian mused.
____________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________
"Uhhh. I don't think girls are aloud to be Jedi's, Dev." Serenity cut
in.
____________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________
"Why not? I bet I would make a great Jedi," and with that she lept up
off the couch, grabbed the remaining pillow and her wand, and was soon
engaged in an enthralling swordfight with George.
____________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________
"The force is strong in you my friend, but I am afraid you are no
match for...drum roll please...Devian, super Jedi! Surrender now you evil
wanker, and i promise your punishment to be less severe."
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________
"Never! Hahahahaha," George finished with the classic evil laugh.
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________
This had obviously been too much as Devian collapsed onto Fred's lap
in a fit of giggles. "How many butterbeers have you had? I bet there's a
stash hidden somewhere in your room." Fred commented, though obviously
amused.
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________
"Actually, I haven't had any mind altering substances today. That was
just the funniest thing I've seen since the Snape in fuzzy bunny slippers
incident...but I don't really want to talk about that."
____________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________
"Uhhh...that just proves the theory that some things are better left
unsaid."
____________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________
"Oh great, the movie is over already, now what are we going to do?"
Harry interrupted.
____________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________
"Hey, I've got an idea, why don't we play truth or dare?" Serenity
asked.
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________
"Oh, that's a great idea," Devian said as everyone nodded in
agreement. "But I think we should set up some ground rules. First of all,
no sexual acts of any kind, umm...nothing that could possibly cause bodily
harm, and no eating of non-edible things."
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________
Things became stranger and stranger as the night progressed, and
finally, it was Serenity's turn to pick someone. "Devian, truth or dare?"
____________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________
"Lets see...if I pick truth, it will probably be one of those 'who
would you rather shag' questions, and god only knows how uncomfortable
those can get, because you have to pick either one or the other and then
somebody ends up with bad self esteem, and then it would be all my fault
and..."
____________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________
"Devian! Focus on the task at hand!"
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________
"But..."
____________________________________________________________________________
________________________________
"Focus!"
____________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________
"Alright, dare!"
____________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________
"Hehehe..." an evil grin came across Serenity's face. "I was hoping
you would say that. I've been saving this one all night, but nobody has
been brave enough to choose dare yet. I dare you to go frolick in the
forest, naked."
____________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________
Devian blinked a couple of times. "Uhhh...in the forest?Naked?
Frolicking? But it's the whole way down there!" She pointed out the window
at the dark and ominous looking forest.
____________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________
"As will you be, in a matter of moments."
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________
"You might as well do it and get it overwith Dev, it's not like
anybody will see you anyway," Hermione said encouragingly.
____________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________
"Actually, we're all going down there with her, to make sure she
really does it," Serenity corrected.
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________
Hermione looked sorry for her, but Devian found no sympathy with the
guys, as they all now had anxious looks on their faces.
____________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________
"Wait a minute, you people can't see my girlfriend naked, only I
can!" Fred interrupted stubbornly.
____________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________
"Sorry to dissapoint you Weasley, but I've already seen your
girlfriend naked, so no surprise here." Everyone looked at Draco, who had
pretty much stayed quiet the whole night.
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________
Fred was saved from the task of coming up with a good comeback line
by a sudden outburst from Devian, "Ha! I can't do the dare, you know why?
Because it brakes one of the rules, no sexual acts, remember?"
____________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________
" No, you still have to do it, because it's not a sexual act, it's
just running around naked. We were born naked and... oh, ok we probably
won't die naked, but we were born naked, and there is nothing sexual about
that."
____________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________
"Well, I have to run around in the forest, and that could cause
bodily harm." Devian said hopefully.
____________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________
"You don't have to go deep into the forest, just run behind a couple
of trees so nobody up in the castle will see you. That would be very hard
to explain."
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________
"Alright, let's go people, we're wasting valuable naked time!" Ron
cut in.
____________________________________________________________________________
______________________________
Everybody looked at him.
____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________
"What?" He asked innocently. " I'm just trying to get into the spirit
of the game."
____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________
"Okay, so how long do I have to do this?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________ "Just from that tree to that tree," Serenity pointed. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________ "Fine, let's get this overwith. Everybody close their eyes. That means you too, Ron! Alright, here I go." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________ And with that, Devian was off, screaming the whole way. "Serenity, I'll get back at you for this, and Ron stop peeking! Okay there, I did it, now can somebody hand me my robe, please?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________ "No, actually, I think we should make you come back and get it," Serenity said with an evil grin on her face. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "Come on, haven't I been through enough lately? Oh right, I forgot, I don't need help, I have magic. Accio robe!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "How did you do that without your wand?" Fred asked in amazment. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "With alot of practice and concentration. Now if you are all satisfied that I have completed my dare, I will go to bed." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ With that she turned and stalked off, obviously in a bad mood.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________
"Devian, come quick, we need your help!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ "What is it?" She mumbled sleepily from under the covers of her bed. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ "The entire school has gone mad, they're all running around naked, yelling something about invasion, taking prisoners, and pink fuzzy bunny slippers!" Serenity cried, her voice a few octaves higher than it normally was. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Suddenly, Devian was wide awake as she lept out of bed to find herself in full Jedi uniform, equipped with a blue light saber. "This looks like a job for," bishhzzoom bishhzzoom (the light saber making noises as she swings it around), "Devian, Super Jedi!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Devian spent the next half hour running around the school using her mind control to subdue everyone. "You want to put on your clothes." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "I want to put on my clothes," repeated a Slytherin 5th year boy in a trance like monotone. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Well, that looks like the last of them, another job well done..." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "Not so fast," came a voice from behind. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ She whirled around to find George at the end of the hallway, as naked as the rest had been. "You!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Yes, that's right, me! Your petty mind control game may have worked on my minions, but I will not be fooled as easily." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ "What do you want, Darth Weasley?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ "Would you believe me if I told you I was your father?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "Uhhh...no." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "Well that's because I'm not." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Answer the question funny boy! Dare I need to remind you that I have a light saber, and I know how to use it." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "I think you know what I want!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "I'm just gonna take a stab in the dark and say pink fuzzy bunny slippers?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "You know where they are?" he asked hopefully. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "The ones with the floppy ears and little cotton tails?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "Yea, those would be the ones." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________ "Can I ask you a question?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "Shoot." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Uhh...I don't have a gun." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "What? No, I mean ask the question!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ "Oh. Why do you need slippers if your completely naked?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ George looked thoughtful for a moment before responding. "Yes, I suppose it would look rather silly if I were to wear slippers while I'm naked. But I can fix that!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ He snapped his fingers, and was suddenly dressed in a strangely familiar Jedi uniform. Devian looked down in horror to realize that she was now the naked one. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "Hey, give me back my clothes!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Never! Hahahahaha..." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ George's evil laugh was cut short by the beeping of an alarm clock. Devian sat up quickly, still a little delusional from the strange dream she had just had. Without thinking, she picked up a pillow, walked over to where Serenity was still sleeping, and swung it at her head. "Oww! Hey, what did you do that for?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ Devian childishly stuck her tongue out at her and left the room. Serenity found her in the common room a few minutes later, talking to Fred and George. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "Dev, why did you hit me with the pillow?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Because I had a nightmare, and everyone was naked." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "That happens to me sometimes, but I wouldn't exactly call it a nightmare." George said with a grin. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________ Devian rolled her eyes. "It was a nightmare because you were in it. I'm only kidding," she said, after seeing the hurt look on his face. "You really were in it though, you were the bad guy." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "Really...was I devious?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "Yes, very devious. In fact, you wouldn't stop stealing everyone's clothes until you had the pink fuzzy bunny slippers." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Ummm... so I wanted bunny slippers, and I stole people's clothes?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________ "Yeah, you stole mine too. I would have fought you, but that's when I woke up..." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "And hit me with a pillow! I'm still not exactly sure I understand why, either." Serenity finished for her. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "I hit you because it's all your fault I had the nightmare! You were the one who made me run around naked last night...you big spoot head!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Spoot head?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "Nevermind. Anyways, I'll see you guys later, I have to go to the library quick before class starts." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ She left in a hurry, almost forgetting her bag. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ Fred turned to Serenity. "I think she's still mad about last night." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ "Yea, probably, but she'll get over it."
As Devian reached the end of the hallway, she broke into a run, praying that she wouldn't be late for class. The report she had wanted to finish had taken longer than she had expected, and she guessed she had about another minute or so before the late bell rang. She turned another corner at full speed and crashed right into another person, knocking them both over. "Oh, I'm really sorry about that, I'm just in a hurry." Devian apologized quickly while picking up her stuff. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ "That's okay, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, either. You'd better hurry, we've only got a couple of seconds before..." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________ Devian looked up to see why the other girl had stopped talking, and immediatly found herself wondering whether she was still dreaming or not. The girl in front of her was an exact mirror image of herself. "But...how?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ "Your my long lost twin!" The other girl exclaimed suddenly. "Woah, that sounded way too cheesy. Okay, let me explain. My father...our father, I guess, told me that when we were born, and our mother died, he couldn't afford to take care of both of us, so he had to give one up for adoption. We've been looking for you for a while now, but you seemed to have dissapeared. I can't believe I've finally found you, this is great! Well, we'd better get to class, but I'll meet you outside your common room as soon as they're over, so we can talk. Your in Gryffindor, right?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ Devian nodded weakly, and the other girl turned to leave. "Wait, this is all happening so fast! I don't even know your name." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "It's Nella, and your Devian, I already know. See you later." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Devian slowly wandered into the Potions classroom, not entirely aware that everyone was staring at her. Snape looked up from his desk, almost surprised that a student would dare be late to his class. "Would there be any particular reason, Miss Green, why you are late for my class?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "Oh, see the thing is...there was a family emergency," she explained, sounding a little dazed. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Snape gave her a strange look before responding. "See me after class, we have something to discuss." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Devian nodded and sat down next to Fred, who looked at her questioningly. "I'll explain later," she whispered to him after Snape had turned his back. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ "Now would you mind explaining to me," Snape started after everyone had left. "The real reason why you were late?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Devian looked at him for a moment before responding. "It's like I said, there was a family emergency." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ "You know as well as I do that you don't have any family," he said uncomfortably. "I didn't take points from you right away, because you are a model student, and I was hoping you would give me a logical excuse, but if you don't tell me, then I have no choice." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "No wait, I'll tell you. See I was in the library before class started, trying to finish the report you gave us on Friday, and I would have made it on time, but I ran into someone, who happened to look just like me. And I know you probably won't believe, me, but I swear I'm telling the truth, this girl told me she was my long lost twin." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Snape stared at her for a moment with an odd expression on his face. "I'm going against my better judgement when I say I believe you, only because it isn't like you to tell such wild stories. You may go to your next class now." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "umm...thanks." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ He nodded and she left the room, oblivious to the fact that Snape had just been nice to her. The only thing she had on her mind was getting through the rest of the day so that she could find some enlightenment
"Do you really believe she's your twin?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ "I don't know Fred, I mean, she said she was, and she looked exactly like me, wait til you see her. It was kinda strange, though." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________ "What?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "She didn't seem surprised to see me." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Before Fred could reply, they were at the entrance to the common room, where Nella sat waiting. "And I bet your wondering why I wasn't surprised to see you?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Devian nodded. "Yea, that would clear up one of my issues." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "Because I've seen you around in the hallways before. Actually, I see you all the time." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "Then why haven't you said anything?" Devian asked, sounding extremely confused. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "I was nervous," she confessed. "I've spent practically my whole life thinking about what I would say to you if I ever met you, and the first time I saw you, I nearly choked. I wanted to go up and talk to you, but I couldn't think of anything to say. I guess it was better that we ran into each other, because I couldn't back out of that. I hope you'll forgive me for not saying anything sooner?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ " It's completely understandable that you were scared. I probably would have done the same thing. Come on, lets go in and sit down," she motioned toward the portait hole, which had already opened and George stepped out. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Umm...Devian?" He asked, scratching his head. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "What George?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "Why are there two of you?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "I don't know George, I just don't know. One minute I was standing here, the next a big bolt of lightening came down and split me in half. It was the wierdest thing..." she answered sarcastically. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "Really?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "No not really, you big elfy git!" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "ummm...where did that come from?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "I have no idea, and it sounded better in my mind, but your straying from the subject dear. Anyways, it seems that I have finally found the family I've been looking for all my life." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "So she's your twin sister? Thats great, I'm really happy you have a family now" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "Thanks," Devian smiled. "and I'm sorry I called you a big elfy git." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "That's quite alright, you seem a little tense." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Actually, I'm more than a little tense," Devian turned to her twin, "Come on, let's go talk." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ They talked until dinner, catching up on each other's lives as best as they could. What started out as the two of them, grew to four, when Fred and George came to sit, and then came a shocked Hermione. Many people asked questions as to why there were two pairs of twins instead of the usual one.
____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ At dinner, the two of them went to sit at their own tables, Nella's being Ravenclaw. Soon after that, Harry and Ron came rushing over in a state of panic. Nearly uncomprehensible babble came from the both of them that sounded something like this: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "Devian! Oh my God! We just saw you over there!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "But it wasn't you!" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "It couldn't have been, she was wearing a Ravenclaw robe!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "And then we talked to her..." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "She sounded just like you!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "It could be polyjuice," Harry guessed. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ "No, it's obviously the work of a seriously evil wizard. There's dark magic at play here, I can feel it," Ron said knowingly. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "Or, maybe, I could just have a twin," Devian cut in, bursting Ron's bubble. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ "Uhhh...oh...well yes that would make sense," Ron said, looking dumbfounded and a little dissapointed.
Soon the two pairs of twins were spending more and more time together,and it became the new sight at Hogwarts. They were inseperable, and not a day went by when they weren't seen together, either in the common room, the library, or walking around the lake. After a while, Serenity started to feel left out, and one day she decided to approach Devian about it. "Why haven't you been spending any time with me? I'm supposed to be your best friend." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Well, I finally found the family I've been looking for my whole life. Don't you think I have the right to get to know her? Anyway, it's not like you've been alone. I've seen you and Draco. You two are practically attached at the hip...or maybe someplace else knowing Draco," Devian said cooly, though she knew she hadn't been spending enough time with Serenity. She thought Serenity didn't mind because she was with Draco as much as Devian had been with Nella and the twins. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Yes, that may be true," Serenity replied, blushing at the statement, "but that doesn't change the fact that best friends should spend time together. What about Fred and George? They're not your family." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Well...uhh..we like their company!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "What about my company? You replaced me with your twin, your boyfriend, and your boyfriend's twin!" Serenity scratched her head and looked thoughtfully confused. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "We can spend more time together." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ "Your all a bunch of freaks!" Serenity said and stalked off with a smile on her face. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "I know, isn't it great?" Devain called after her friend. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Keeping her word, that weekend, Devian and Serenity spent most of their free time together. It was fun, but they had to bring Draco and Fred along because,they reasoned, what would they do without them? At times the girls would have to separate the two bickering boys, but other then that they had fun. They went ice skating on the frozen lake, and Draco started a snowball fight which ended in Devian and Serenity being the targets of the bulk of the icy cold snow. They had wanted to include Nella and George in the fun, but they were nowhere to be found. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ As they sat down to lunch, they noticed that George and Nella still weren't present. A short while later they came striding into the great hall, a little flushed and laughing to themselves. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Where have you guys been? We've been looking for you." Devian asked as they joined them. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "We were...umm...doing the laundry," George replied a little uncomfortably. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "But isn't that what the house elves are for?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ "Yea well we wanted to help them." Nella replied smoothly. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "Oh I see." Devian said, unconvinced.
____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ After lunch George and Nella dissapeared again, and Serenity told Devian that she wanted to spend some 'alone time' with Draco, so Devian and Fred decided to go for a walk. They would meet up later to watch the newest movie in a can that George had aquired on one of his ventures into Hogsmeade.
____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________
"Okay, so how long do I have to do this?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________ "Just from that tree to that tree," Serenity pointed. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________ "Fine, let's get this overwith. Everybody close their eyes. That means you too, Ron! Alright, here I go." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________ And with that, Devian was off, screaming the whole way. "Serenity, I'll get back at you for this, and Ron stop peeking! Okay there, I did it, now can somebody hand me my robe, please?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________ "No, actually, I think we should make you come back and get it," Serenity said with an evil grin on her face. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "Come on, haven't I been through enough lately? Oh right, I forgot, I don't need help, I have magic. Accio robe!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "How did you do that without your wand?" Fred asked in amazment. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "With alot of practice and concentration. Now if you are all satisfied that I have completed my dare, I will go to bed." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ With that she turned and stalked off, obviously in a bad mood.
____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________
"Devian, come quick, we need your help!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ "What is it?" She mumbled sleepily from under the covers of her bed. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ "The entire school has gone mad, they're all running around naked, yelling something about invasion, taking prisoners, and pink fuzzy bunny slippers!" Serenity cried, her voice a few octaves higher than it normally was. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Suddenly, Devian was wide awake as she lept out of bed to find herself in full Jedi uniform, equipped with a blue light saber. "This looks like a job for," bishhzzoom bishhzzoom (the light saber making noises as she swings it around), "Devian, Super Jedi!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Devian spent the next half hour running around the school using her mind control to subdue everyone. "You want to put on your clothes." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "I want to put on my clothes," repeated a Slytherin 5th year boy in a trance like monotone. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Well, that looks like the last of them, another job well done..." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "Not so fast," came a voice from behind. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ She whirled around to find George at the end of the hallway, as naked as the rest had been. "You!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Yes, that's right, me! Your petty mind control game may have worked on my minions, but I will not be fooled as easily." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ "What do you want, Darth Weasley?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ "Would you believe me if I told you I was your father?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "Uhhh...no." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "Well that's because I'm not." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Answer the question funny boy! Dare I need to remind you that I have a light saber, and I know how to use it." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "I think you know what I want!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "I'm just gonna take a stab in the dark and say pink fuzzy bunny slippers?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "You know where they are?" he asked hopefully. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "The ones with the floppy ears and little cotton tails?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "Yea, those would be the ones." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________ "Can I ask you a question?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "Shoot." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Uhh...I don't have a gun." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "What? No, I mean ask the question!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ "Oh. Why do you need slippers if your completely naked?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ George looked thoughtful for a moment before responding. "Yes, I suppose it would look rather silly if I were to wear slippers while I'm naked. But I can fix that!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ He snapped his fingers, and was suddenly dressed in a strangely familiar Jedi uniform. Devian looked down in horror to realize that she was now the naked one. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "Hey, give me back my clothes!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Never! Hahahahaha..." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ George's evil laugh was cut short by the beeping of an alarm clock. Devian sat up quickly, still a little delusional from the strange dream she had just had. Without thinking, she picked up a pillow, walked over to where Serenity was still sleeping, and swung it at her head. "Oww! Hey, what did you do that for?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ Devian childishly stuck her tongue out at her and left the room. Serenity found her in the common room a few minutes later, talking to Fred and George. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "Dev, why did you hit me with the pillow?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Because I had a nightmare, and everyone was naked." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "That happens to me sometimes, but I wouldn't exactly call it a nightmare." George said with a grin. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________ Devian rolled her eyes. "It was a nightmare because you were in it. I'm only kidding," she said, after seeing the hurt look on his face. "You really were in it though, you were the bad guy." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "Really...was I devious?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "Yes, very devious. In fact, you wouldn't stop stealing everyone's clothes until you had the pink fuzzy bunny slippers." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Ummm... so I wanted bunny slippers, and I stole people's clothes?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________ "Yeah, you stole mine too. I would have fought you, but that's when I woke up..." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "And hit me with a pillow! I'm still not exactly sure I understand why, either." Serenity finished for her. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "I hit you because it's all your fault I had the nightmare! You were the one who made me run around naked last night...you big spoot head!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Spoot head?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "Nevermind. Anyways, I'll see you guys later, I have to go to the library quick before class starts." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ She left in a hurry, almost forgetting her bag. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ Fred turned to Serenity. "I think she's still mad about last night." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ "Yea, probably, but she'll get over it."
As Devian reached the end of the hallway, she broke into a run, praying that she wouldn't be late for class. The report she had wanted to finish had taken longer than she had expected, and she guessed she had about another minute or so before the late bell rang. She turned another corner at full speed and crashed right into another person, knocking them both over. "Oh, I'm really sorry about that, I'm just in a hurry." Devian apologized quickly while picking up her stuff. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ "That's okay, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, either. You'd better hurry, we've only got a couple of seconds before..." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________ Devian looked up to see why the other girl had stopped talking, and immediatly found herself wondering whether she was still dreaming or not. The girl in front of her was an exact mirror image of herself. "But...how?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ "Your my long lost twin!" The other girl exclaimed suddenly. "Woah, that sounded way too cheesy. Okay, let me explain. My father...our father, I guess, told me that when we were born, and our mother died, he couldn't afford to take care of both of us, so he had to give one up for adoption. We've been looking for you for a while now, but you seemed to have dissapeared. I can't believe I've finally found you, this is great! Well, we'd better get to class, but I'll meet you outside your common room as soon as they're over, so we can talk. Your in Gryffindor, right?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ Devian nodded weakly, and the other girl turned to leave. "Wait, this is all happening so fast! I don't even know your name." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "It's Nella, and your Devian, I already know. See you later." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Devian slowly wandered into the Potions classroom, not entirely aware that everyone was staring at her. Snape looked up from his desk, almost surprised that a student would dare be late to his class. "Would there be any particular reason, Miss Green, why you are late for my class?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "Oh, see the thing is...there was a family emergency," she explained, sounding a little dazed. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Snape gave her a strange look before responding. "See me after class, we have something to discuss." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Devian nodded and sat down next to Fred, who looked at her questioningly. "I'll explain later," she whispered to him after Snape had turned his back. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ "Now would you mind explaining to me," Snape started after everyone had left. "The real reason why you were late?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Devian looked at him for a moment before responding. "It's like I said, there was a family emergency." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________ "You know as well as I do that you don't have any family," he said uncomfortably. "I didn't take points from you right away, because you are a model student, and I was hoping you would give me a logical excuse, but if you don't tell me, then I have no choice." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "No wait, I'll tell you. See I was in the library before class started, trying to finish the report you gave us on Friday, and I would have made it on time, but I ran into someone, who happened to look just like me. And I know you probably won't believe, me, but I swear I'm telling the truth, this girl told me she was my long lost twin." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ Snape stared at her for a moment with an odd expression on his face. "I'm going against my better judgement when I say I believe you, only because it isn't like you to tell such wild stories. You may go to your next class now." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "umm...thanks." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ He nodded and she left the room, oblivious to the fact that Snape had just been nice to her. The only thing she had on her mind was getting through the rest of the day so that she could find some enlightenment
"Do you really believe she's your twin?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ "I don't know Fred, I mean, she said she was, and she looked exactly like me, wait til you see her. It was kinda strange, though." ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________ "What?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ "She didn't seem surprised to see me." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Before Fred could reply, they were at the entrance to the common room, where Nella sat waiting. "And I bet your wondering why I wasn't surprised to see you?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ Devian nodded. "Yea, that would clear up one of my issues." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "Because I've seen you around in the hallways before. Actually, I see you all the time." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "Then why haven't you said anything?" Devian asked, sounding extremely confused. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "I was nervous," she confessed. "I've spent practically my whole life thinking about what I would say to you if I ever met you, and the first time I saw you, I nearly choked. I wanted to go up and talk to you, but I couldn't think of anything to say. I guess it was better that we ran into each other, because I couldn't back out of that. I hope you'll forgive me for not saying anything sooner?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ " It's completely understandable that you were scared. I probably would have done the same thing. Come on, lets go in and sit down," she motioned toward the portait hole, which had already opened and George stepped out. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Umm...Devian?" He asked, scratching his head. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "What George?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "Why are there two of you?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "I don't know George, I just don't know. One minute I was standing here, the next a big bolt of lightening came down and split me in half. It was the wierdest thing..." she answered sarcastically. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "Really?" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "No not really, you big elfy git!" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "ummm...where did that come from?" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "I have no idea, and it sounded better in my mind, but your straying from the subject dear. Anyways, it seems that I have finally found the family I've been looking for all my life." ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "So she's your twin sister? Thats great, I'm really happy you have a family now" ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "Thanks," Devian smiled. "and I'm sorry I called you a big elfy git." ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "That's quite alright, you seem a little tense." ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Actually, I'm more than a little tense," Devian turned to her twin, "Come on, let's go talk." ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ They talked until dinner, catching up on each other's lives as best as they could. What started out as the two of them, grew to four, when Fred and George came to sit, and then came a shocked Hermione. Many people asked questions as to why there were two pairs of twins instead of the usual one.
____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ At dinner, the two of them went to sit at their own tables, Nella's being Ravenclaw. Soon after that, Harry and Ron came rushing over in a state of panic. Nearly uncomprehensible babble came from the both of them that sounded something like this: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "Devian! Oh my God! We just saw you over there!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "But it wasn't you!" ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "It couldn't have been, she was wearing a Ravenclaw robe!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "And then we talked to her..." ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "She sounded just like you!" ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________ "It could be polyjuice," Harry guessed. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ "No, it's obviously the work of a seriously evil wizard. There's dark magic at play here, I can feel it," Ron said knowingly. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "Or, maybe, I could just have a twin," Devian cut in, bursting Ron's bubble. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ "Uhhh...oh...well yes that would make sense," Ron said, looking dumbfounded and a little dissapointed.
Soon the two pairs of twins were spending more and more time together,and it became the new sight at Hogwarts. They were inseperable, and not a day went by when they weren't seen together, either in the common room, the library, or walking around the lake. After a while, Serenity started to feel left out, and one day she decided to approach Devian about it. "Why haven't you been spending any time with me? I'm supposed to be your best friend." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Well, I finally found the family I've been looking for my whole life. Don't you think I have the right to get to know her? Anyway, it's not like you've been alone. I've seen you and Draco. You two are practically attached at the hip...or maybe someplace else knowing Draco," Devian said cooly, though she knew she hadn't been spending enough time with Serenity. She thought Serenity didn't mind because she was with Draco as much as Devian had been with Nella and the twins. ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Yes, that may be true," Serenity replied, blushing at the statement, "but that doesn't change the fact that best friends should spend time together. What about Fred and George? They're not your family." ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "Well...uhh..we like their company!" ____________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ "What about my company? You replaced me with your twin, your boyfriend, and your boyfriend's twin!" Serenity scratched her head and looked thoughtfully confused. ____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ "We can spend more time together." ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ "Your all a bunch of freaks!" Serenity said and stalked off with a smile on her face. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "I know, isn't it great?" Devain called after her friend. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Keeping her word, that weekend, Devian and Serenity spent most of their free time together. It was fun, but they had to bring Draco and Fred along because,they reasoned, what would they do without them? At times the girls would have to separate the two bickering boys, but other then that they had fun. They went ice skating on the frozen lake, and Draco started a snowball fight which ended in Devian and Serenity being the targets of the bulk of the icy cold snow. They had wanted to include Nella and George in the fun, but they were nowhere to be found. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ As they sat down to lunch, they noticed that George and Nella still weren't present. A short while later they came striding into the great hall, a little flushed and laughing to themselves. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________ "Where have you guys been? We've been looking for you." Devian asked as they joined them. ____________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ "We were...umm...doing the laundry," George replied a little uncomfortably. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ "But isn't that what the house elves are for?" ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ "Yea well we wanted to help them." Nella replied smoothly. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ "Oh I see." Devian said, unconvinced.
____________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ After lunch George and Nella dissapeared again, and Serenity told Devian that she wanted to spend some 'alone time' with Draco, so Devian and Fred decided to go for a walk. They would meet up later to watch the newest movie in a can that George had aquired on one of his ventures into Hogsmeade.
