Chapter Two

McGonagall paced Dumbledore's office.

"Another set of twins in Gryffindor, it seems dangerous. I haven't seen such mischievous grins, this could get ugly..."

"I wouldn't worry too much." Dumbledore reassured her.

"What do you think everyone will suspect? When have we ever had a transfer?"

"Not in many years, but not much should come of it. They are smart girls like their parents, they won't do harm."

"What if the Malfoys find out? What will they suspect?"

"It doesn't matter," His voice took a hushed tone. "We need Eleanor and Gregory in the Order, and perhaps they can bring in even more support from overseas."

"I know, Albus, I know. I think I am more worried about having the Irongrip girls turn out like Fred and George."

"They couldn't, they have the female gender."

"That's what I was worried about."

When the Fifth Year Gryffindor Girls awoke, they found two new beds sitting in their room.

There were two girls in those two beds.

Two identical ones. They were awake and deeply into a harsh game of slap.

"That was a sandwich."

"Was not."

"Was so. See?"

"Uhhh.....hey look, it's Orlando Bloom!"

"Where?"

The other girl quickly rearranged the cards.

"I don't see – Katie!"

Hermione was the first one to try to speak two these crazed individuals. "Hello, I'm Hermione Granger, welcome to Hogwarts."

"Yeah, yeah," said one of the girls. "Care to join in?"

"Uh.....I.....don't know how to play."

"Well watch us for awhile. You'll get the hang of it."

The two continued into one of the most outrageous games of slap ever seen. By the end of it, both of their hands were so red they almost matched the draperies in the room.

"By the looks of things, I'm glad I didn't join in," Hermione said. Both girls grinned at her. "What are your names?"

"I'm Katie," one said. "And this is Kayla......"

"Are you twins?" asked Parvati Patil.

"No we're just sisters born on the same day from the same parents, near the same time who happen to look amazingly similar," Kayla said with a sarcastic turn of voice. "Here's your sign."

"I was just wondering," Parvati said, pouting a bit. "After all, you have green eyes and Katie has blue.....and her hair is shorter....."

"So people can tell us apart," Katie piped up.

"This is Parvati," said Hermione, trying to restore some order to the dormitory. "And this over here is Lavender, this is Ginny....."

"Your name sounds like 'perverted'," Kayla said. ".....kinda....."

Parvati rolled her eyes.

"So.....you two are American?" asked Hermione.

"No we're French." Katie said.

"Really?"

"Nope. Here's your sign."

Kayla giggled. "We're transferred here from Wisconsin, America's Dairyland," she said.

"What's your favorite class?" asked Hermione.

"I enjoy Potions," said Kayla.

"Oh.....well you won't here. Our Potions master Snape discriminates against anyone not a Slytherin."

"Well this Snape can just eat a guacamole from his – "

"Kay.....no." Katie said. "They don't want hear that particular insult. We do need a good reputation here."

"What about your favorite class, Katie?" asked Hermione, about ready to give up at keeping order.

"I don't like classes.....if I had to pick I'd say astronomy. I'd prefer flying to classes any day myself."

"What are your thoughts on Divination?" Hermione pressed.

"Load of crock. Logic all the way!" Kay said happily.

"Whew.....I had my worries for a minute," Hermione said with a smile. "We're on a break right from classes this week, it being winter break and all.....you should have time to get to know everyone."

"Do you think you could introduce us to the people we would want to meet.....and show us those to avoid?" asked Katie.

"Or to shove wands up their behinds?" suggested Kayla.

"Of course," said Hermione. "Come. I'll introduce you to my best friends."
