AN: Okay Okay this chapter is short! I admit it. But if you give me enough reviews, I'll give you the next part sooner than planned. Originally chapters 2 and 3 were supposed to be one chapter, but it seemed better if I stopped where I did. I'm not going to tell you anything about the next chapter, except the title. That should tell you just about everything; Daddy Dearest. It will be up soon. I'm aiming for 22 reviews. Come on, you can do it!
A few hours later, the train arrived at Hogwarts. The two pairs of twins separated unwillingly. They had planned to improve mischief aiding charms and potions to their personal use. Vieara was the one talking to Fred and George. Sophia talked mostly to Ginny. Once in a while, however, she would stick her head into the other conversation and offer improvements.
"Wow!" Vieara whispered, awestruck. Her eyes wide at the sight of the enormous castle.
"Firs' ears this way!" A huge man yelled and pointed to the rows of boats. Vieara and Sophia sat in one of the boats. A black haired girl sat across from them. She had pretty turquoise eyes and pale skin. Next to her sat a boy with tanned skin and sun bleached blond hair and honey brown eyes.
"Hullo!" They said.
"Hullo," The twins greeted them. "I'm Sophia and this is my sister Vieara."
"I'm Leah. But call me Lee, okay?"
"I'm Angel."
"Which House do you want to be in?" Angel asked. "I want to be in Gryffindor!"
"Ravenclaw or Gryffindor." Kally said.
"Houses?" The twins asked in unison.
"You don't know about the Houses?" Angel gaped at them.
They shrugged. "We're from Bulgaria. We don't know much about Hogwarts."
By the time Angel explained the concept of the Houses, they had arrived at the huge wooden doors. Then they were led into a huge room with a ceiling identical to the sky outside.
"This is the Great Hall." Angel whispered.
A very severe looking teacher placed an old hat on a three legged stool. "Aster, Calliope."
A very frightened pigtailed girl stepped forward. She slowly sat on the stool and pulled the hat on. It almost instantly shouted:
"GRYFFINDOR!" One of the tables applauded wildly.
"Aucoder, Christopher."
"RAVENCLAW!"
"Black, Sophia."
"Not again, they got my name wrong again!" Sophia muttered, stepping up to the stool. She carefully placed the frayed hat on her head, and instantly heard a squeaky voice.
"Hum … smart, hardworking, talented. Ravenclaw might be good for you. Maybe Hufflepuff. Ah, but I put both of your parents in Gryffindor." Sophia gasped. Her mom had gone to school here too? "I think you'll do good there too, so I guess it will be . . .
GRYFFINDOR!"
"Black, Vieara."
Vieara was already sitting on the stool and had placed the hat on her head. *You better put me in with my sister or I'll cut you up in pieces!*
"Not too friendly, I see! Fiercely proud, smart, mischievous. You are a smaller copy of your father. Hope you don't turn out like him though. But yes, it will suit you fine that . . .
GRYFFINDOR!"
"Creevey, Colin."
Another Gryffindor.
Vieara's eyes were quite wide when she sat between Fred and Sophia. "It said I'm a smaller copy of our father!" she whispered to her sister.
Sophia answered, " It said that both of our parents were in Gryffindor!"
"Hey, I thought you last name was Ivanova!" Fred interrupted.
"It is." Sophia confirmed absentmindedly. "They made a mistake. Again!"
She looked at the hat which now sat on Narcissa Malfoy's head. It barely touched her head before it announced her a Slytherin.
"Mersion, Leah."
"RAVENCLAW!"
The girls saw Lee hand the hat over to Angel.
"Morris, Angel."
"GRYFFINDOR!"
The twins cheered with the rest of the Gryffindors. Angel saw them and sat down across from Vieara. He had a wide toothy smile on his face and his chest stuck out proudly.
"It barely touched my head when it said that I should be in Gryffindor. Actually, it said, the only place that suits you is . . . and then it shouted Gryffindor."
Meanwhile, the hat had just announced Ginny Weasley a Gryffindor too. She sat next to Angel, across from Sophia.
She sighed with relief. "Thank goodness I'm in Gryffindor. My whole family has been in here!" Fred and George congratulated all of the new first years heartily, but were interrupted by Professor Dumbledore.
The twins stared at the old man, not hearing a word he said. He looked delicate with age, his long white hair reaching past his waist, but his eyes . . . There was something about his eyes. They sparkled like a toddler's. So this was the great wizard Albus Dumbledore.
He finished his speech, waved his hand and suddenly the tables were set and piled high with delicacies. Everyone dug in eagerly and the conversation died instantly.
Almost an hour later, the prefects lead their houses into the dormitories. Sophia and Vieara stumbled and yawned their way through the portrait hole.
"Remember the password. Higgleboo." The twins giggled at the password and tried to tuck it into a corner of their tired minds as they stumbled up to the girls' dorms. They changed into pajamas with eyelids half closed and tumbled into their beds.
I have to go to Dumbledore and correct our names . . .
It was Sophia's last thought before sleep had settled within her body completely.
Author's Note: I was truly obsessed with finding the perfect names for the twins, and I think I did pretty good, thankyouverymuch! Let me explain now:
Vieara : Faith in Bulgarian
Audacia: Comes from the Latin word audacis meaning bold (the English word audacious (courageous, bold), also means the same as its Latin origin)
Marauda: from Marauder which means troublemaker
Black: this is pretty obvious: her dad's last name which also means the color black
Sophia: wise, and I also named her after Sofia, Bulgaria's capital city
Artemisa: from Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon and hunt who bore many names and refused to let men lay eyes upon her. She was Apollo's twin sister. Skillful.
Pandora: Who doesn't know the Greek myth about Pandora? She was created out of clay and given gifts from all of the gods. Her name means All-Gifted in Greek.
Black: I explained already.
Basically, Faithful Bold Troublemaker and Wise Skillful (Multifarious, too! It means with many names and personalities, ) and All-Gifted! Maybe I should have named them Phoebe and Melanie: In Greek, Phoebe means light, Melanie dark. Sophia would have been Phoebe, Vieara Melanie. But I found those names too late! They are Vieara Audacia Marauda and Sophia Artemisa Pandora Black.
Oh yeah! I forgot to explain about Draco's sis! Well, here I am watching TV and sifting through the pages of The Greek Gods (by Evslin, Evslin, and Hoopes) during commercials when I stumble upon Greek roots of English words. I am trying to find the perfect names for the twins when a sentence catches my eye; The word narcissist is a psychological term meaning a person who loves himself. Jackpot! Isn't that perfect for Draco Malfoy? But he already has a perfectly good name. So do I let that perfect name go to waste? Nooooo! I create a equally snobby sister for my story! And that was how Narcissa Malfoy was born.
