A/N: Sorry it's been so long since we last posted! It's really hard to write it up when it's 2 people writing the story! I only just got this from Elaine and I'm typing it up now! As you can see!
Chapter 2
"Hey that's not fair!" James shouted to a tall, dark-haired boy called Sirius, "I hit it fair and square! You know I'm no good on my left side and you used it against me!"
Sirius laughed and retorted "I don't know what you're talking about Jamesie!" James looked like he was about to cry and flew over to Sirius on his Cleansweep 9 broomstick. Gemini, Sirius twin sister, flew over and joined the boys.
"My turn now!" she said.
"But we don't want to play anymore!" Sirius said to his twin. Gemini scowled, they always did this, and ran over to her brother and started to tickle him until he was crying with laughter.
"Ok Gem! You win!" he managed to choke out through giggles. Happy with the response Gemini flew over to where three, huge goalposts stood. Sirius decided to guard the goal posts whilst James surveyed the scene and commentated.
"Gem, the black-haired beauty is lining up for her first penalty shot! She bends down low, takes aim and hits the Quaffle into the middle hoop, the keeper is stunned and the crowd go wild!" he said in his best commentator-like voice.
Now that all three of them had had a go at playing penalty shoot out Quidditch, a game of their own invention, sort of, they decided to back up to the Potter mansion.
James was an average eleven-year-old boy. He was horn rimmed glasses and had a tuft of untidy hair which never stayed in the same style due to the fact that he ran his hand through it at least twice every ten minutes. He loved anything and everything to do with Quidditch and was a wizard.
His best friend Sirius had jet black hair and an infectious laugh. He was always smiling and attracting the girls as he said that it was 'good experience for later life.' Sirius had a younger brother called Aries, who was five and a twin sister called Gemini.
Gemini looked a lot like her twin. She too had long, dark hair and was generally a happy person. She loved reading and was looking forward to her first year at school. As the letter had not arrived yet she didn't know which school she would get into but she hoped it would be Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, was probably the best headmaster of all time, or so she'd heard.
Sirius, Gemini and Aries stay with James' family because they had had a big argument with their parents. They were very grateful to Edward and Shirley Potter for taking care of them during the summer holidays and whenever they could get away from 12 Grimauld Place.
"Ok, who's for dinner?" Sirius said.
"I don't care! I'll eat anything! You know I would!" James replied whilst Sirius had already started to get out the plates and cutlery by hand. He couldn't use a wand yet partly because he was underage and partly because he didn't have one yet. He was getting one next Sunday and was extremely excited. He began to crack some eggs into a hot frying pan and watched as they sizzled away.
Aries, smelling food, came into the kitchen and stared hungrily. "Can I have some?" he pleaded and pulled, what he thought to be a puppy dog-eyed expression in Sirius' direction.
"Yeah mate. One or two?" Sirius asked his little brother.
"Erm…one" when Sirius finished cooking the eggs James, Sirius, Gem and Aries all tucked in. It was the best eggs they had had for ages and longed for more. However, Edward Potter came in and shooed them out of the kitchen and into their rooms.
James and Sirius shared a room. Their room was quite big with a bunk bed (Sirius top, James bottom) on one side of the wall and the walls were plastered with posters of their favourite Quidditch team of all time, Puddlemere United. All along the shelves were photos of Sirius and James at a variety of different ages. They weren't ordinary photos, for the people moved as they pleased.
James walked over to the window and stared out. The view wasn't very nice but it would have to do. The one thing that he did love about it was the fact that there was just green space that stretched out for miles and miles. But green space can get a bit boring if that's all you see out of your window for eleven years.
Sirius soon came to join him, "You ok Jamesie boy?"
"Yeah, just nervous I guess. I mean the letter should be arriving sometime tomorrow and I really want to get into Hogwarts. I'd be devastated if only one of us got in and the other had to go to Durmstrang or somewhere." James sighed sadly.
"Yeah, I hope we'll all be together. Don't worry James, we'll get into Hogwarts easy peasy, you see if we don't! I mean, who could resist our handsome features and perfect smiles?" James and Sirius laughed and James felt immediately better, I mean, who could not like Sirius?
Pleez R&R!
