~*BRI*~

Hola Clase, como estas! Estoy Asi Asi. hehehe, im just kidding, that says, "Hi Class, How are you? I am ok." Anyway. I'm having an interesting time writing this, if you couldn't tell, my friend Malishka and I are writing this story together. on chatrooms. and we don't talk about what we're about to write, we just write. hehehe, so yeah, that's why it was prolly slightly confusing, pretty soon you'll be hearing about how different we are, what "special" powers we have, and how we use them. hehehe.

BTW: If you want the list of the 142 things we're going to do to Snape, email me at callmegoddess777@yahoo.com.

BECAUSE: that's what we're going to do for part of this fic. 142 ways to Piss Off Professor Snape. It'll be great, but yeah that'll come up soon, I promise.

**When She Was Bri.**

Chapter 4: TWINS!

It was right after lunch and Brittany was sitting in the library studying the potion they'd done that day, considering she really hadn't paid any attention. She sighed and turned the page.

"RON!" Shouted a voice from behind her. She turned to glare at the group who'd already made her life a living hell from the moment she'd entered the school again basically. **The Gumdrop Clan.** She thought as Harry Potter and Ron Weasley argued with Hermione Granger for a moment before she scowled at sat at the table. Harry glanced at Brittany who jerked her head in a motion that basically said 'Bring it on.'

He rolled his eyes and Brittany flicked him off turning back to her book. "Brittany!" Shouted a girls voice. Madam Pince hissed at Becky to be quiet, but she just ignored her and ran over to Brittany's table, Tom trailing her and looking around the library.

"What?" Said Brittany quietly glancing at "The Gumdrop Clan," who was staring at Becky and Brittany. Becky slid into the seat next to her.

"I'm here to answer all your questions," she said. Brittany rose an
eyebrow.

"Um. that's okay, I like living my life shrouded in mystery," said Brittany looking back down at her books. Becky sighed.

"Come on Brittany. I know you wanna ask me SOMETHING!" she whined. Brittany looked up at her.

"Fine. How come we can telepathically communicate?" she said. Becky
grinned.

"We're sisters. Twins to be exact," said Becky. Brittany froze.

Tom looked curiously at Brittany who stared at Becky. "What?"

"We're sisters," said Becky glancing around the room. Harry, Hermione and Ron were seemingly not listened.

"No we're not," said Brittany shaking her head. "There's no possible way, my friend Amber would be my sister before-"

"I'm your sister, didn't you ever wonder why you have powers?" said Becky smugly.

"Um . . I just figured it was because I was from a muggle family and I amazingly had powers. ." Said Brittany running a hand through her red hair. "There's no way, otherwise . . . I would have to be-"

"Adopted? You were! See, dearest daddy and mummy got divorced when we were infants, he got you and mum got me. But then, Voldy got kinda mad and killed him. You were given to some stupid minister's family," said Becky.

"I . . I . . this is so weird," muttered Brittany, putting her head in her hand. "Oy."

"Will you please believe me? I'm telling the truth! My, our mom has our birth certificates and she called the adoption agency in America. They said you'd been given to a minister's family. And how fucked up is that?? We're JEWISH!!!" said Becky scowling. Brittany bit her lip and looked up at Tom.

"Don't look at me! I didn't know!" he said holding up his hands.

"I know," said Brittany looking over across the library. Harry's eyes met her and she bristled. He quickly averted his attention before she could suspect, but he was too late. "Potter," she said standing and going over to him. "What all did you hear?" She said viciously.

"Nothing I. ." said Harry looking fearfully up at her. Her eyes narrowed. "Everything. I heard everything."

"Your grandfather was never this much trouble," she muttered turning and going towards her table.

"What?" said Harry, Hermione and Ron in unison.

"Nothing. It's a long story. Involving your grandfather and Tom here and . . . well . . . if you want to find out go read about it on Fanfiction.net," she said sitting down again and knocking her head on the table.

"What's that?" said Ron.

"I think it's a muggle website," said Harry.

"With spiders?" Said Ron fearfully. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"It has a lot to do with the Internet, Ron. Computers."

"Enter-net? Com-pooters? What do muggles do in their spare time?!" Said Ron scratching his head.

"And the nominees for the stupidest people at Hogwarts are.." muttered Brittany. Harry glared at her.

"That's the best you could come up with Potter? A death glare? Gee, you really scared me..." Becky added to defend her twin.

"You don't need to make such rude comments," he said.

"Oh but I do, it's the way I live." Said Becky and Brittany in unison, Brittany still with her head on the table. "Sorry, it's a twin thing that happens pretty often, actually..." they said together again, referring to Potions earlier. Then Brittany shot up. "That's why!" she said suddenly.

"What?" said everyone in unison.

"My parents didn't seem all that surprised when I started talking about going to Hogwarts, I mean yeah they put me in counseling, but, I mean, they really weren't expecting it, but they subconsciously knew it was coming. Something big. So when I disappear for a couple hours, they start thinking," said Brittany wrapping a red curl around her finger. She looked up at Becky. "I suppose you're right."

"Ha ha! A point for me!" she said jumping up and raising her hand in self-exultance. Noticing everyone staring at her as if she was from Mars, she added with malice, "I was kidding."

"Aight," muttered Brittany.

"STOP!" shouted Becky.

"Oops, my bad, alright .." Said Brittany smiling. Becky just shook her head and placed it in her hand.

"Becky, where've you been?" said a drawling voice from behind them all. Brittany turned wearily to find Draco Malfoy walking over to them, both hands in his pockets.

"Hey Drakie," said Becky excitedly. Brittany snorted and got an odd look from Hermione.

"I don't see why you got the hot guy," muttered Brittany. "Cause I'm the hot girl," Becky said, winking secretively at her sister. Tom's mouth flew open. "I was just kidding Tom. You're plenty hot for me. Plus, we're basically identical genius," she added winking at him. Harry rolled his eyes and mouthed, 'American's.'

"What did you say?" Becky said with a grimace, defending her poor sister who couldn't help being left in poverty. **Hey I'm not that poor.** Thought Brittany. **You keep thinking that sweety.** Thought Becky.

Tom sat next to Brittany and slid his hand into her's as they watched Becky's waist being circled by Draco's arms. "Get a room," muttered Brittany getting up, and receiving smirks from them both. "I'm gonna go to bed." She said yawning. Tom got up with her.

"Me too," he said. Brittany smirked.

"You can't come with me." She said lightly walking towards the door.

"Who said?"

"I did." Said Brittany licking her lips as they left the library.

"Well we all know what they're going to do," whispered Harry to Ron and Hermione, who exchanged guilty glances and looked away.

"Mind your own business Potter," said Malfoy glaring at the messy haired boy sitting at the table. Harry glared back.

"Why should I? I'm a prefect. I could report them," he said threateningly. Draco gave a smug look to Hermione.

"I could report Granger and Weasley then too," said Draco at once. Harry whirled around.

"Does everyone have a girlfriend beside me?!" he shouted, stomping off.

"I'm sure Crabbe or Goyle don't." Said Ron biting his tongue. Hermione smacked him on the back of the head. Becca and Malfoy chuckled. Becky, reading Draco's thoughts about how they were most likely actually together, and cheating on Millicent Bulstrode and Pansy Parkinson as well, widened her eyes and spilled over with laughter.

"What?" said the three Gryffindors.

"Just a COUPLE thing," she snapped, accentuating couple so Harry could hear from the other side of the room. She was very loud. Harry's neck went red and he stormed out the door. **
Brittany grinned at Tom as he pushed her up against the wall outside the library. "We haven't gotten some alone time since I followed you," he said smirking.
"More like stalked," said Brittany smiling and kissing him lightly on the lips.
"Do you think it was the right decision?" he said.
"Of course," said Brittany. Tom kissed her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Brittany grinned. "I mean, if you hadn't have come I might have ended up with-"
"Potter," growled Tom looking around as they heard footsteps.
"What are you too doing out here?" said Harry looking at them. Brittany rolled her eyes and broke apart from Tom.
"Go away Potter." said Brittany. Harry's eyes narrowed.
"Watch it Dally, I could get you in some serious trouble," he said. Brittany bristled.
"Who's Dally?" she said cocking her head. "My last name's obviously Alamaeda." She said turning and grabbing Tom's waist as they walked down the hallway. Harry watched her go and scowled hitting the gargoyle next to him with his fist.
**Why??** His head screamed. Brittany stopped. She'd just heard someone shout why.
"Why what?" she said turning around and looking for the voice. Harry looked at her.
"What?" he said. Brittany stared at him.
"Did you just shout why?" she said. Harry rose an eyebrow.
"Have you visited your friends at St. Mungos lately?" he said. Brittany smiled.
"Actually I have. By the way, the Longbottoms say 'Hi'," she said. She turned and stomped away. Tom looked from Harry to Brittany's retreating form.
"You're not half as nice as you were in those books," he said. Harry glared at him.
"Yeah well your hair style went out in the 40's," he snapped. Tom snorted and started walking down the hallway humming 'Getting to Know You' from the King and I. Harry sighed and turned back around.
**And the prize for the boy who'll never get a date goes to.. ** He thought. Then he stopped when he thought he heard derisive laughter from Brittany down the hall.

**
Becky grabbed her bag and kissed Draco on the cheek. "I'll be right back, I've got to talk to Celes- I mean Brittany. See you later," she said rushing out the library. Hermione glared at him.
"Why couldn't you just stay in your own business Malfoy?" she hissed.
"Because finding two Gryff's making out on the third floor is a bit much for a poor Slytherin's heart." Said Draco smirking and also leaving. Becky quickly caught up to Brittany and told her the whole story as they quickly found themselves in the dormitory. ** "So lemme get this straight........." began Brittany, apparently confused at the information Becca had just revealed to her, " You have been with us the whole time??" Becky nodded. "And you know about Orion, and Leo, and Tom and were protecting me?" More nods. "And all of it was.. was.. my doing??" contributed Tom. "Well not yours, per say.. but, yea, basically...in the future you're pretty smart," smirked Becky. "Right then.. so how did we get back here again this time?? Why?" asked Brittany. "That was the potion.. I added some ingredients." She bit her lip thoughtfully. "So...how exactly are you her twin sister? What year are you from?" asked Tom. "I'm from 2002, sent by the 2002 version of yourself.. do you get it now?" Tom nodded slowly. "Where is the 1995 version of me?? Not the me version of me but the one really from here." "Oh, he's around.........his power's gradually building.. he's friends with our mother, you know." "Ok...I think I've got it now," said both Bri and Tom at once. "Aright, well Drakie's waitin' for me outside. I said I'd be right there after I explained stuff. But before I leave, I just have to say that that truth or dare game.........that was off the hook!" Becca winked, smirked, and casually walked out. "You're sooo retarded!" sighed Bri, referring to Tom. "Hey!" "By the way, do you happen to immensely enjoy fishing?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Never mind." "Probably wasn't important anyway." "Shut-up!" "You Shut-up!" said Tom. "Make me!" "Fine," Tom arched an eyebrow, "I will," he added softly and quietly merely inches away from her face, as he leaned in to kiss her. Brittany felt her arms rapidly circling his waist as he pushed her down onto her bed. She felt his tongue slip in between his lips and grinned. Soon they were lying breathless side-by-side. 'Wow' they thought in unison. "Eat your heart out Draco and Becky!" Said Brittany jokingly, breathing heavily.

**Hey! I heard that!** Thought Becky to Bri. "We should get to sleep, and you should go," said Brittany somberly pouting. Tom kissing her bottom lip. "And who's gonna make me?" said Tom sing-song like, poking her in the side. Brittany poked back.

"I will, now get your hot ass up!" Tom smirked and walked to the door.

"You know." he began, "I don't have to go just yet." He wiggled his eyebrows up and down in unison. In response Brittany sighed and just pushed him out the door. She fell onto the bed.

**How'd I ever get into this mess??** She thought to herself. She soon found herself drifting, but it left as quickly as it came, as the door opened to reveal Becky. She had finally parted reluctantly with Draco. She walked over to her sister, sensing the rush of mixed emotion emanating from her. She put an arm awkwardly around her shoulder.

"Brittany." Becky began comfortingly, "it's not your fault you have such a messed up life," she chuckled. "Thanks, I feel so comforted," Brittany muttered rolling her eyes. "Really.. I've been there. I know what it's like to learn all these complex things at once and be expected to process and dismiss them as if they were simple as the concept of magic."

Brittany looked up at her sister, "You do?" Becky nodded. "Well do you know what it's like to be involved with a complicated character like Tom? And be in the totally mucked up situation as I'm in??"

"Yup, I do, you forget that I'm with Draco."

"Oh yeah. he, he, Sorry," She snickered. "So whatever happened to lover- boy anyway?"

"Oh, we uh.said our goodbyes *ahem* and departed." She nudged her in the ribs jokingly with her elbow.

"Oh, I see." Becky wriggled her eyebrows.

"Well we better get to sleep. It's getting late.........er, early........."

"What time is it?"

"2:30 a.m."

"Alright. I'll talk to you tomorrow. But can I just think to you for a while?"

" Yea, *Yawn *, sure."

The girls separated into their own beds.

**So what'd you want?***

***I was just wondering, why do twins have such strong connections? I mean Snape's class was great, I wouldn't give that up, but that was before I knew I was talking to you, I thought I was talking to myself!***

**I don't know. It's not like we have a joint connecting us together or anything. Maybe it's just 'cause we're magic. Don't ask me. But you honestly thought that was all you??**

**Well, after a while I sorta caught on that it was you, you know when we started Truth or Dare...**

**Whatever...I'm tired. We'll talk about this in the morning. And don't wake me. G'night.**

**G'night, but just one last thing. I want to make a list tomorrow, of things to Piss Snape off, and see if we can get away with doing them.** **Sounds like my kind of prank.** Thought Becky, falling asleep.
