The Girl You Can't Have

Chapter 1

I Don't Want to Be Here

"Come on, Kendall!" a blonde haired girl called out to her sister one morning, "You don't want to be late for the first day at Hogwarts... a new school, do you?"

Just then a brown haired, pale faced girl came running in with her hair messed up, her clothes half way on, and a pop tart in her mouth, "HELP!" she mumbled as the wet tart fell from her lips to the floor.

"O my goodness," the girl said as she rolled her eyes at her disgruntled sister. As she walked to her side to help her sister organize, her curly blonde hair bounced up and down.

"Melissa! Kendall!" was heard from down the stairs, "It's time to go, dears!" It was their loving mother, Veronica. Her daughters looked nothing like her. She had long black hair and was tall and slinky. Her daughters on the other hand were a blonde, and a brunette, and they both weren't very tall... they were average.

"Coming, mother!" Kendall called as she just finished her hair, "Thanks, Lissa, now let's go!"

The ran down stairs in a hurry, with their luggage behind them, they didn't stop to tell their dog, Nightmare, goodbye and they didn't stay to tell their brother, John, tootles, all they did was rush out of the front door and hop into the car.

"Hey!" their brother called as he raced out of the house towards them, "Well, I love you too!" he said sarcastically. Their brother was four years older than them (which means he's 19) and had blue hair (he liked the punk look). He wasn't going to school with his sisters because he was different. His mother, father, and sister's were all witches and wizards, but he, on the other hand, was a regular boy, but he didn't mind being diverse from his family.

"Sorry, John... bye!" they both replied together.

"Say goodbye to the house," their mother said as she, herself, came running out in a hurry.

Kendall and Melissa looked at their beautiful home that they had just moved into three days before. It was huge and had a Spanish garden out back! "Goodbye house that we never even got a chance to love," they yelled as the drove away.

"Well, here's Platform 9 ¾," Veronica sniffled, "I remember when I was going on here, oh it was such a fuss! All these muggles..."

"Mother!" Melissa said sternly.

"Oh, sorry dear, these humans bustling around with what they call lives! They're just fooling themselves!"

"Mother!" Kendall looked at her mom with evil eyes.

"Okay, well I can't walk you both on the train, I have a meeting at the Ministry to attend to. You think you can manage? Now remember what I told you, Melissa?"

"Goodbye," they said hurriedly, Melissa ignoring her mother, as they pecked her on the cheek and raced through the hidden barrier.

In there they saw the beautiful red smoke engine that they were about to take. They raced on there without a care in the world! They found a compartment as fast as they could and hid their luggage.

Just as the train was about to take off the compartment door swung open, "Hello, ladies. I don't think I've met you before."

Kendall and Melissa looked at each other with glee in their eyes. Anytime a boy said hello, they automatically put their defenses up, "Well, genius, we haven't met because this is our first year," Melissa retorted.

"I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy," the light-colored haired boy sneered. After a pause he whispered, "This is the part where you tell me your names."

They both stared at him as if he was stupid, "Well," he said, "I'm going to go now."

"Run along, little puppet," Kendall said just before he left. When he turned around she twiddled her fingers in a goodbye expression. He rolled his eyes and when he was completely out of earshot Kendall and Melissa laughed to themselves.

A couple of hours on the smoke extracting bus and someone else opened the compartment doors.

"Oh sorry! Wrong one," said a tall boy, who looked to be about their age, "Do I know you? I'm sorry it's just I seem to know a lot of people in school, but you... I can't seem to recognize."

Melissa looked at him admiringly, Kendall knew that look and rushed in to the rescue, "That's because we're new. We're in our sixth year."

"Oh, well nice to meet you! My name's Harry Potter."

"Mine's..."

"You're Harry Potter!" Kendall interrupted her sister, "I'm sorry, um... this is my sister Melissa and I'm Kendall."

Harry laughed sheepishly and left.

"Wow!" he whispered when he closed the door.

"Wow!" Melissa said aloud when she saw his shadow move away from the entrance.

"Calm down, Melissa... You know we can't."

Melissa looked down at her feet dejected, "Just a little bit?"

"NO! You know since we're... you know, we can't get close, remember what happened to me," Kendall's eyes began to well up with tears.

"Yes, I remember. But you know I'm not like you! I'm normal," she said trying to make her sister laugh.

When the train had finally stopped they didn't follow the rest of the sixth years, but was welcomed by Dumbledore. They didn't go to the beginning of the year supper, but went with Professor McGonagal straight away to be sorted.

"Excuse me, Miss Grempet," Professor McGonagall said as she looked sternly at Kendall when they arrived in Dumbledore's office, "But black nail polish isn't allowed in this school," she said as she took Kendall's hand and examined her nails.

"Sorry, but I like it, so it's staying," Kendall said with the utmost disrespect.

McGonagall was about to scream, but decided to hold back since they were new students.

The Sorting Hat was almost on her head when the voice echoed around the room, "Ravenclaw!"

Then Melissa's turn, and again the Sorting Hat yelled, "Ravenclaw!"

With permission from Minerva they ran in the direction that was given them, and gave the password as they came to the raven statue that they had been instructed to find, "Raven's Rule!" The statue gave a loud craw and allowed them in.

Inside it was dark, but the light from the fireplace was good enough. There were tables for studying, sofas for comfortable reading, and two stair cases leading to the girls' and boys' dormitories, which they ran up the girls' and jumped on their feather soft beds with blue sheets.

Just then thousands of girls started to flood in, "Who are you two?" they screeched.

That night was horrible, they were like raptures tearing through the two newbies. It was awful to watch! They kept pestering them with questions that they didn't even need to think about. Kendall and Melissa were uncomfortable right from the beginning that these girls walked in. They had high hopes for this school, but now they were nervous and unprepared.

The next day for lessons Melissa was really happy because for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbiology, and Divination did they have lessons with Harry. Kendall, on the other hand, didn't talk to anyone; she didn't make friends... when Melissa walked out of a classroom she at least talked to one person (although it was usually to protect herself from the rude remarks she was getting), but Kendall? When she walked out she had said as many words as she when she came in (none).

"Loosen up, Kendall," Melissa was telling her sister on their way to lunch.

"You know I don't like getting close, so don't push me."

"O, don't worry about getting close to these buttheads. They like making the new people feel welcome," she droned sarcastically, "But I mean, talk to them! Tell 'em off or something! Have a little fun!"

"Well, I don't want to make enemies either!" Melissa listened to her sister's advice and decided to do as she did, and that was ignoring everyone.

At lunch, even the boy Melissa thought was cute started playing tricks on them. He had turned her food into mice and her sister's drink into pee! It was gross, mean, and the lowest thing a person could think of. They did meet a nice girl though, by the name, Hermione. She seemed sweet... she didn't play a trick on them, but she did hang out with that Potter and Weasley.

"What school did you both come from?" she asked when they first met.

"Narnia: School for the Craft."

She asked practical questions, unlike those dinosaur females from Ravenclaw.

"Do you like it here so far? I mean other than the people..."

"It's alright... it's different."

Although Hermione had made their day a little bit better, they still met in a girls' bathroom for privacy because they wanted to talk about:

"I had a horrible day!" Kendall was confiding in her sister.

"Don't worry, me too! ... Kendall, are you okay!" Melissa yelled as her sister grabbed her heart.

"Yeah, fine," she gasped.

"KENDALL!" Melissa shouted again as her sister fell to the floor vomiting all over the place, "Mom said this would happen," she said worriedly.

A/N: I have other chapters already written, but the only way to post them is if I can get good reviews. I'm actually very proud of this story, I myself am interested on where it's going to end up.
