XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXThey stared awe through the archway onto the cobbled street that twisted and turned out of sight. Hagrid grinned at the sibling's amazement. He may not like the older sister in particular, but he always loved the expressions on the first years faces when ever he got to escort them to the Ally.
"Wow." Was all Envy could say as they stepped through the archway.
Wrath looked quickly over his shoulder just in time to see the opening shrink instantly back into the solid wall that was once there. Envy hated adapting to new places, and this place creeped him out beyond belief. Everyone was so cheerful! Like there was nothing awful in the world to disrupt their merry little chatter. It made him sick to his stomach. As the walked up the street Envy noticed a plump woman outside a shop with a sign over it that read 'Apothecary'. She had dazzling red hair that stood out. She was yelling at what seemed to be a set of twins with the same fiery color of hair. Standing off to the side a bit was another red head and a scrawny green-eyed boy with messy black hair. Something about this boy caught his attention. Suddenly the boy perked up and whispered something to the read head next to him. They then started heading towards the three of them.
"Hagrid!" The dark haired boy called out.
Hagrid obviously hadn't noticed because he was a bit occupied with apologizing to a man whose foot he had stepped on.
"Hagrid! How are you?" the boy said when they reached them.
"Oh! Ello 'arry, sorry I didn't notice ya there." Hagrid apologized.
"No problem," the red head boy answered, "who are they?"
He cocked a thumb in Envy and Wraths direction. Wrath was half hidden by Envy at the moment. The boy honestly didn't like being noticed.
"Oh there a couple o' new students," said Hagrid, "Ron, Harry, I would like you to meet Wren and her little brother Danny."
"Pleasure to meet you." The boy called Ron said as he extended his had to Wren.
The girl narrowed her eyes at Ron and kept her hands firmly planted behind her back were the boy Hagrid called Danny held one of them. Ron withdrew his hand in confusion.
"Hey, you look a bit old to be first years." Ron suddenly inquired with a thoughtful expression.
Wren scowled as Hagrid spoke up on their behalf once again.
"Their transfer students from" Hagrid caught the look Wren was giving him," A far away place that I cant really pronounce.
"Interesting." A voice spoke behind the two boys.
"Hermione!" Harry exclaimed as he turned to greet his friend. "It's been a while."
After the little reunion they turned their attention back towards Wren and Danny.
"My name is Hermione Granger, what's yours?" She asked Wren politely.
Envy had a feeling that this girl wasn't ordinary. It wasn't the same thing he felt about the Harry kid though. He felt as if she could relate to him and Wrath somehow. She also seemed a hell of a lot smarter that the two boys too.
"My name is Wren…Sin." She said, quickly making up a false last name and extended her hand to great the girl.
Ron practically melted at the sound of Wrens voice. It was like a beautiful melody that he could listen to all day.
Envy hadn't thought about changing his voice. It seemed feminine enough at the time. But after he caught a glimpse at how Ron had reacted he seriously thought about reconsidering.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Wren." Hermione said with a smile as she reached out the shake the transfer student's hand.
But when they made contact something happened. A jolt was sent up both their arms. Hermione's smile vanished as Wren jerked her hand away. Something shimmered a bit as the new girl stuck her hands behind her back once again and took a step back. Nobody but the two girls had seemed to notice.
"Come on now, we aught to be movin along now." Hagrid's voice broke Envy's train of thought as she turned and headed in the direction the giant man was going.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"Welcome to Gringots." Hagrid said as they approached the snowy white building that towered over all the other little shops.
Standing beside its burnished bronze doors, wearing a uniform of scarlet and gold, was an odd, ugly looking creature.
"That's a goblin." Hagrid said in a surprisingly quiet voice as they walked up the white stone steps toward him.
He bowed as they walked inside. Now they were facing a second pair of doors, silver this time, with words engraved upon them. The only part of it that really caught Envy's attention was the first phrase that had been engraved onto the elegant stone.
'Enter, stranger, but take heed, of what awaits the sin of Greed.
Hagrid gave Wren an odd look as she started snickering uncontrollably.
"Yeh'd be mad ter try an' rob it." Said Hagrid.
Wren whispered something to Danny. The boy broke into a wicked grin as his sister broke into another fit of snickers.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAfter grabbing some money out of Dumbledoor's vault for the two sins they had immediately left for Olivanders.
"Best wands since 382 a.d." Hagrid said proudly in front of the weather beaten shop.
"You two best hurry along now, I'll meet up with yeh later." With that said he turned and walked away into the crowd of people.
Once inside Olivanders Envy had lost all of his patients for the day and was one tick away from killing something. When the old man came out from behind the shelves he immediately lashed out.
"Its not polite to keep customers waiting." She sneered.
The man apologized profoundly then got started.
"Hold out your wand arm." He instructed firmly but with a hint of deliverance.
Envy stuck out his right arm not knowing what the old man meant. But it didn't matter; the sin could use both hands efficiently. The man started measuring the girl all over and the tape measure he was using soon was moving on its own. With a snap of the fingers it dropped to the ground lifelessly as he brought out a slender black box.
"Mahogany, eleven inches, unicorn hair." He said with out hesitation as he opened the box towards the girl.
"Go on, give it a wave."
Envy felt like an idiot. But when the wand was flicked through the air two shelves were knocked over and a glass jar was shattered. Envy grinned evilly as he set the wand down and waited for the nest one.
About twenty wands later all of the sins annoyance and rage had evaporated. The shop looked on the verge of collapsing though.
"I wonder?" The elderly wizard mused softly as he shuffled to the very back of if the room and pulled out a small rusty key that looked as if it hadn't been used in years.
He slowly unlocked the heavy vault that had suddenly appeared, and pulled out an aged dusty box.
"Curious." He whispered mostly to himself.
"Ms…"
"Wren, Wren Sin."
"Ah yes, Ms. Sin do yo know what a homunculi is by any chance?" He asked as he examined the wand.
Wren noticeably stiffened but nodded her head in reply.
"This wand, Ms. Sin, was made by a Homunculi that went by the name of Charles P. Rocksnerth." He then handed the wand to Wren.
"Eleven inches, oak, hair of a Chimera." He said very seriously with a stern look.
Envy examined the wand that had been handed to him. At the bottom near the end of the handle was the same mark that he and Wrath had. A serpent with wings biting its tail with an eight-sided star in the center. She bit her lip as she gave it a wave. A dark green must emitted from the tip and spiraled around her body.
"Hm, and suppose that would be your brother over there?" he said nodding towards Wrath who was currently hoping not to be noticed.
"Yes." Wren responded.
"I see." He said as he grabbed the second box from the vault.
"Give this a wave, eight in a quarter inches, maple, hair from a Chimera."
Wrath gave it a small flick of the wrist. A dazzling blue light emitted from it as small sparks of electricity reached out and licked at his arm.
Wren quickly dropped ten galleons and muttered something of a thanks as she pushed Danny out the door.
"Yes, very curious." Mr. Olivander said as he watched the two walk away swiftly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXThey had been walking for a while now and the scenery had changed quiet drastically.
"Were the hell are we?" Envy muttered as he looked around.
Everything was bleak and seemed to have been painted in black and gray. They had just come out of a shop with shrunken heads that talked back, and a, mummified hand that had tried to strangle him. That's when a stern unwelcoming voice cut through the air.
"Students aren't aloud here without a guardian." The voice sneered.
Envy stopped dead in his tracks cuing Wrath to stop as well. He turned to face a man that was about a head taller than him.
"And who are you to tell me what to do?" She snapped.
The man standing before her repulsed and disgusted her beyond reason. He had semi long greasy black hair. An overly large oddly shaped nose and his face was creased with lines of anger and stress.
"I have the authority as a professor over any student." He said sternly.
"And what may I ask makes you think I'm a student?" She shot back coolly.
"Your list is sticking out of your pocket."
"That would be my son's list, Danny would you come here for a moment."
Wrath slowly inched his was infront of his older sibling.
"This is my son." She said smugly as she placed her hand calmly on Wraths slightly shaking shoulder.
He looked down at his feet not making eye contact with the man infront of him, he was ugly and creepy looking.
"What is your business here in Knockturn Ally? Only dark wizards and witches shop for things back here."
"So I'm guessing that would make you a dark witch or wizard." She asked innocently.
"Wha…I-I was just patrolling the area for any students." He spluttered.
"What did you say your name was?"
"Snape, Serverous Snape." He spat.
He obviously didn't like this woman.
"WREN! DANNY!" A thunderous voice boomed somewhere off in the distance.
"Ah, that's our cue, well it's been a pleasure meeting you Professor Serverous Snape. My brother Danny and I shall look forward to being in your class at the start of the term." Wren said with a wicked smirk as she and Danny made a mad dash in the direction Hagrid's voice came from.
"What were ye doin' in there?" Hagrid questioned furiously.
"Sorry, we got a bit lost," She looked over her shoulder to see an enraged Snape coming up to them, "But Professor Snape here kindly helped us on our way." She said with a fake innocent smile,
Snape had followed the two students intent on making them pay but was stopped by the praises from the over sized Professor/ Grounds Keeper. He had been left in a sort of daze as the three walked off. But he did catch the smirk and wink over the girls shoulder just as they vanished from sight.
"She may have pulled one on me now," He growled dangerously, "But nobody makes a fool out of me and gets away with it."
This 'girl' was going to face the full brunt of his rage at the beginning of the term to the end of the school year. She was in for one hell of a time. Snape grinned wickedly as he stalked off into the crowd of people with evil thoughts of revenge running through his mind.
