On January 21st, 1985, non-identical twins were born into the Winters's family in the wizarding world. Two girls, the eldest's name was Buffy Anne, and the younger's name was Faith Hope. One had blonde and green eyes. The other was a dark brunette, almost black haired girl with brown eyes. They were both loved evenly.
There was an article in the paper about them. Twins were rarer, especially in the wizarding world. Triplets had only been recorded twice, and quintuplets once. No one was known to have had quints. It was a lot less rarer in the muggle world. And not that many wizards believed it, but it was never recorded in the demon world(s.) Although it happened all of time to those it wasn't natural for.
Mrs. Amelia Karra Winters and Mr. Carl D. Winters were the proud parents. They live in the Winters Manor, and are a happy family.
Christmas, age 5....
(I know that Christmas is not celebrated by most wizards, but just pretend like they really like this holiday or something. Wait, I might be wrong, I can remember it in one of the movies. And Merry is another word for Happy! You get your acceptance letters when you're eleven right?)
The four of them sat in the living room with a Christmas Tree atop many presents. The two young children immediately ran for one of the bigger ones. Their parents laughed at their antics.
They were independent children, but they spent as much time as possible together. As soon as they opened it, they saw the two dogs. The blonde and dark brunette were excited. They immediately yelled out "Puppies!" when they saw them. The girl puppy was almost pitch black. The boy was so blonde he might have been bleached. The girls shared a look.
For some reason that they couldn't fathom, they knew things they shouldn't have or said things that made sense to them and only them, and sometimes not even them. This was one of them.
The girls were extra smart and had many secrets already. But they only talked together. They had a few young friends their age, but they were like main singers and the rest was their band.
The girls shared a look and immediately exclaimed, "Spike and Dru!" for their new dogs' names. Their parents were confused as to where they got the names, but thought it was fine. They loved their children and spoiled them silly.
Buffy and Faith opened presents one after another. They loved Christmas. They got tons of presents and drank whostle and ate chocolate all day. Not to mention that they weren't forced to do much except for the basics like brush your teeth and go to sleep. 'Cause of course, they never wanted to do that on a day like Christmas.
There father worked as a spy in the muggle government. He was in the muggle government, and just told the ministry everything about it. Their mother worked as an Auror, so they lived close to the muggle world. Their house was enchanted though, so it could only be seen as people who knew they were there. But it was still very close to the muggle world. It was almost in-between.
The twins had a link that they never told anyone about. They were also more mature then they let on. But they enjoyed their young lives for reasons they couldn't explain. They never took any of it for-granted if they could help it.
When they wanted something or asked for something but didn't get it, they did not complain unless it was on sale or something. Not that they didn't get most of what they wanted and asked for, but they were far more content in their lives as they knew most children were.
And they were both technically geniuses. Not that they let anyone know. They remembered everything they read, whether it made sense or not. Their senses were better then the other children's as well. They could hear perfectly into another room or down the hall, and see perfectly. They could jabber on mindlessly as well, but that is something most children are gifted with. There smelling was excellent, and they remembered everything they ever tasted. The last one was pretty useless, but it was fun to mess with.
Faith was more into things like magazines- the junior ones I mean. They interested Buffy, but for some reason, she was into poetry. She had a certain book that she could say off of the top of her head. It was a book in Portuguese by Ellen Kreigawitz, called Truthful Endear. (I made it up, but just pretend that it was the one she got from Angel on her 18th. I can't remember the name or basics, but according to another fic. It's in Portuguese- just translated.
The girls picked up languages quickly too. They had no real need for them, but they did it in secret. They had the suspicion they might need one someday. And, not that they would flaunt them in the future when they were older, but they had beautiful voices. They each thought the other's was better, but they were both a little different. Their voices were almost melodic if they played their cards right.
Ever since they heard of the place, they wanted to go to Hogwarts. They each laughed at the name when they first heard of it, but decided that that is where they wanted to go.
They opened some more presents. Faith started going through one of the magazines. She whistled when she saw a certain picture. Two boys were on the page. But it was the amount of money Faith saw for a certain leather purse that got her attention.
Ame (Their mom) and their father thought it was the boys though, and raised their eyebrows. It was their mom who asked, "So Faith, do you want to marry him or something?"
Faith looked at them and mentally rolled her eyes. No matter how much she wanted to, she was not going to get into anything like that any time soon. But she sarcastically said, "Uh, sure. I'll take the one on the left." Then she started to check out the-one-she-had called's figure, and brushed off the thought that she should be drooling.
Buffy mentally laughed at her best friend's antics, and was surprised by her parents question to her. "Then Buffy, you want the one on the right?" Her father laughed, while Ame elbowed him in the stomach.
Ame had her daughters and thought they were growing up to fast already. He didn't want them thinking about that. The other three laughed.
Then Buffy retorted seriously, after rolling her eyes, "No. I'm going to marry an Angel." Her parents thought she was playing around, and almost giggled. Faith knew better though, it was what Buffy had always said, and through their connection, she knew what her older sister thought. But both of the girls just shrugged it off.
They didn't want anyone to know how smart they really were. Or about their twin connection thingy that only they knew about.
Buffy and Faith opened up the other presents, and toyed around a bit. But by lunch time, it was time to go to lunch, and the girls had to put their stuff up for now.
Buffy stood with Her's and Faith's matching pendants. They each had a griffin and a red phoenix on it on one side. On the other side was the first letter of their names in a ruby red color. The lockets themselves were golden, as well as the chain.
The necklaces looked like pendant, but, magically opened up when they wanted them to. Inside was an enchanted photo album in each of theirs' with pictures of themselves with each other and their parents. There was plenty of room for more for the future.
Their parents put in another room for their pets, and conjured up some stuff for Spike and Dru.
The girls had some fun calling them. They were very obedient. Ame and Carl couldn't understand what was so funny about it though. Either could Faith or Buffy for that matter, but they had fun with their actions, which they still thought were funny.
They went down the road to a local restaurant called Busy Bees. Neither was much for eating at breakfast, but breakfast foods were fine. Faith got pancakes with strawberry syrup, and a strawberry mango smoothie. Buffy got a grilled cheese with hash browns (lots of salt and pepper) with a strawberry kiwi smoothie. Their parents got a plate of pancakes to share, with ordinary syrup, and a plate of something that neither of their children was willing to try. It was green with spinach and something that resembled eggs. Their smell confirmed their suspicions, and they didn't go near the stuff. They got tea.
They could have always conjured some food up at home, but faith and Buffy liked to eat out a lot for some reason. Ame and their dad didn't mind though. It was nice.
But what they really loved to do was go out for ice-cream. The only place they could ever find it around their home was at the store or an ice cream factory down the road. For some reason, Neither Ame nor Carl could conjure the particular flavor. Cookie-dough-fudge-mint-ice cream; both of them got three scoops. Their parents buy lots of it at the store when they go, so they should have enough to last them through the week with seven boxes or six gallons worth. They made sure to have some every day. It was like a little piece of heaven. Not that faith knew what it was like, or Buffy knew that she knew what it was like.
After the ice cream, they went to a movie. It was enjoyable, but the two young girls wanted to go home and play with their dogs. They wanted to get used to them.
The girls weren't aloud to have their wands yet, but that doesn't mean they weren't dabbling in magic without their wands. Neither was reliably good with Wicca magic, but they messed with spells and charms and stuff. They already had a secret enchanted room with all of their stuff. They would just put anything their parents weren't suppost to know about in it. That included experiments and potions and stuff.
They also had an enchantment room near the front of the house to spy. It was as big as a bathroom, and had the basic comforts. There's a chair, and a nice rug that wouldn't bother anybody. They would often go there, crawl on each other, and comfort their sister if they were alone. It wasn't often, but it happened. It was also hidin' from their parents.
They loved their parents though, but couldn't understand why they always did these things. But it was instinct, and they followed there instincts. It couldn't hurt much too just be careful anyway...
