The rain was pouring down as students scrambled to get into the large castle. It was another year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The students quickly made their way through the doors to find shelter. The storm had just picked up when the students had first begun to arrive. Entering the Great Hall, the students dried off and awaited for the sorting to begin.
Kikomii smiled as she perched herself up on the roof of the castle letting the rainfall run peacefully down her face. She loved to sit out in the rain. Sitting next to her was her cousin Araya. She shook her head as her cousin glared down at everyone running inside. She sighed knowing it would be impossible to start a descant conversation with her. Even as kids, they could not get along. They both had changed during the summer break, and the fighting did start to dwindle down.
Kikomii sighs "how long have we been going here? And we can't talk for more that 15 minutes without attempting to decapitate the other?"
"Since we were 11." Araya said letting her long hair curl around her face.
"Then why can't we get along?"
"Don't know. Don't care."
Kikomii shook her head and sighed softly, "I wish we could."
"Maybe one of these days." Araya said as she leaned back letting the rain hit her face. Kikomii just nods silently as she watches everyone down below.
As the last of the students enter the castle, the teachers begin to look around for any stragglers. They would wait until they had all the students inside before proceeding to the Great Hall. The cousins were known to be the last to enter. They had been last since their first year. The girls had always found something to fight about. They sometimes entered the Great Hall in a fight.
Kikomii sighed as she saw the teachers, "We better get going. There looking for us."
"Oh fun." Araya replied in a dead tone as she stood. She climbed down from the roof with Kikomii right behind her. Upon landing on the ground, Kikomii walks on into the castle. Araya followed her as ringed out her hair to dry quicker.
"You would think that after all the years of this, they would find a quicker way to get here before a storm hits." Araya said.
"True, but its not like it bothers us." Kikomii said smiling slightly at her cousin.
"Yea. I guess your right, but I hate the tangles my hair gets into." Araya smirked.
Kikomii nods as the come to the Great Hall. "Soo... where to now?" she asked as she looked around.
"Don't know, don't care. As far as I'm concerned we could just walk right up to the staff table and eat." Araya said as she looked over all the students who where waiting to eat.
"I vote on the later on." Kikomii grins.
"Alright, which teacher will be the unlucky one to have us as company?" Araya laughed.
"Snape?" Kikomii asked grinning.
"Snape." Agreed Araya.
Araya headed off into the Great Hall acting as if she was going to the Slytherin table. She let her hips sway as she moved, turning several eyes as she walked by. She just smiled and continued on to the front of the hall where the staff table was located. Her cousin followed just behind her, hiding her amusement. Araya makes it up to the table and slips into a seat beside of Snape, just as Kikomii sits on his other side. Both girls smile as Snape looks from one girl to another.
"Hello Snape 'ol pal." Kikomii says.
"How's life treating you these days?" asked Araya.
"Please take your seats." Snape replied.
"But we are in our seats." Araya said.
"At your house table." He said with a small growl.
"But we wanna sit with you." Araya laid her head on his arm. "You don't mind do you?" she asked.
"Yeah Snapeypoo." Kikomii pipes in as she gave him a cute puppy look, hugging him, and used his shoulder as a pillow.
"We would miss you so much." Araya said as she wrapped an arm around him.
"Take your seats now!" he said twitching.
Araya pouted pretending as if she was going to cry. "You don't like us anymore?"
"God, you both know you're my favorites, but you must sit at your table. Dumbledore is going to be here soon." He said as he tried to get the girls off him. He was still twitching.
"Kikomii, should we do as he says?" Araya asked her cousin.
"Yea, I guess. Seeing as we are not loved." Kikomii replied as she sighed.
"I guess we better go then."
"Yeah…"
Snape watched as the girls stood up. Hurt could clearly be seen on their faces. He obviously made them upset. He rolled his eyes as he tried to think of a way to get rid of the hurt. He quickly pulled them into a huge a whispered to them, "You know I still love you both." Before he released them and sent them back to their house table. He did not see Araya smirking or hear Kikomii giggling as they headed for the Slytherin table. He did, however, notice Dumbledore watching the girls walk back to the table as he chuckled. Snape glared before returning his attention back to the hall.
Araya sat at the very end of the table as Kikomii sat across from her. The first year students walked in to be sorted. Both girls groaned as they had to wait even longer to actually get something to eat. They always hated the sorting ceremony, even when they had to be sorted.
"Hey, we've talked for more than 15 minutes without fighting." Araya said as the sorting began.
"True." Kikomii laughed as she turned her attention to the sorting hat. "God I hate having to wait during this."
"Tell me about it." Araya replied as she pulled out a CD player that she had charmed to work. She put on the earphones and began to listen to music, blocking out everything else.
"What's on your CD?" Kikomii asked her cousin.
"A lot of punk/gothic rock. Wanna listen? It's better than the same boring speech." Araya replied.
Kikomii quickly left to seat to sit beside of her cousin. "So this is how you entertained yourself for the last five years coming here?" she asked.
"Yea. I was even listening to my music during our own sorting." Araya grinned.
Araya handed Kikomii an earpiece. The girls listened to music as Dumbledore gave his welcome back speech and announcements. Soon, the food appeared. Kikomii was head bobbing and humming as she ate her dinner, while Araya was quietly singing as she ate. Both girls were quickly filled and waited to leave to sleep. All too soon, dinner was through and the students were leaving for the night. Araya put away her CD player and followed her cousin to the Slytherin common room. Kikomii was still humming some of the songs. Araya smiled as she watched her cousin.
"I'll make you a copy of the CD. Here." Araya handed Kikomii another CD player. It was also charmed so that it would work at Hogwarts.
"Thanks." Kikomii smiled.
Loud music could be heard as they drew nearer the common room. As they walked in, a party was going on. The students had decided to throw a welcome back party for their house. The girls looked at each other stunned for a moment.
"Ummm, did you call for a party and not tell me?" Araya asked.
Kikomii busted out laughing as she replied, "No I didn't."
"I'm not really dressed for a party." Araya said as she looked down at her high-healed boots, black leather pants that sat low on her hips and showed off her curves, and red halter-top.
"Better than me." Kikomii said as she looked at her baggy hip hugging pants and tank.
"Shall we join anyway?" Araya asked looking around for someone to dance with.
"Yeah I guess." Kikomii agreed.
Kikomii leans against a wall as she watches her cousin head off to the dance floor, dancing with some of the guys in their year. She could clearly see the look of pure joy on her cousin's face as she danced with several guys. She walked over to the concession table and pored herself a drink. She nearly spit the drink back out when she spotted her cousin dancing with a tall blonde by the name of Draco. She quickly recovered as she took another drink smiling. Someone came and tapped her on the shoulder. As she turned around to see who it was, she nearly spit her drink out for the second time. Standing behind her was a tall and slightly tan guy with unruly black hair and green eyes.
He smiled at her and asked, "Wanna dance?"
"Bloody hell, 'arry how did you get in here?" Kikomii asked.
"Draco let me in. I actually helped him plan this party. So you wanna dance or what?" he asked.
"Sure." She nodded.
"Great." He said as he took her by the hand and led her to the dance floor.
They danced, having a blast. A slow song came on and Kikomii was about to leave the dance floor. Harry stopped her before she could go far.
"Why stop?" he asked smiling at her.
"Who knows." Kikomii said as she smiled back as she slow danced with Harry. It surprised her over how much they could talk with one another. Usually guys couldn't hold a decent conversation with her.
"I saw you and your cousin talking for once. What changed?" Harry asked.
"Summer, things happen, people change." Kikomii shrugged.
"True."
"So how did it come that the "Boy Who Lived" became great friends with a death eater's son?"
"Well, we actually grew up together. Everything else is just huge lies. We find it more fun to fight with each other. Anyway, what's up with you and your cousin always fighting? You two were giving Draco and me a run for our money with rivalry." He responded.
"Didn't know we were competing." She said laughing softly.
"Well there is a betting going on over which "team" would cause more trouble."
"Who came out on top for the most trouble?"
"Don't know. We still have another year to figure that out."
"Who is bet to win?"
"Its split right down the middle so far, but for your performance at dinner might have just tipped the scales in your favor."
"Definitely." She smirked.
"Oh, but the year isn't over yet." He laughed.
"Well, I'm sure my cousin and I can cause some big riots."
"Oh?"
"Definitely."
The song soon ended and Harry led Kikomii to the snack table for drinks.
"Hey, where did your cousin get to anyway?" Harry asked.
Kikomii shrugged, "last I checked she was dancing with Draco."
Harry smirked as he spotted the couple dancing in the center of the room.
Draco smirked at his dance partner who was pulling of some sexy moves. He could not believe his luck. He actually got to dance with one of the two hottest girls there. There was no comparison, the cousins where hotter than any girl at the school.
"Well well, where did you learn to dance like that at?" Draco asked.
"Lots of practice and lots of parties." Araya said smiling.
"You party a lot?" he questioned.
"Whenever there is a party going on, I go." She smirked.
"Oo me like." Draco said laughing.
Araya joined in the laughter as the music died. She took Draco by the hand who led her to the snack table. Draco smiles politely to Harry and Kikomii.
"What have you two been talking about?" Araya asks.
"People are betting about which one of us couples are going to cause more problems." Kikomii laughed.
"Well they should cancel those bets because we have had years of practice." Araya said.
"Lets increase the bets then. At least, for this year." Harry said forming an idea.
Kikomii smiles at him, "I'm listening." She says.
"Looser does whatever the winner wants for, oh lets say three months. The most problems caused before Christmas break wins." Harry went on. "Only one rule. No one is to get hurt."
Kikomii thinks about it before looking to her cousin. "Well?" she asks.
"I say, boys you better be prepared to take orders from us." Araya said.
"I second that." Kikomii said smirking.
Draco looked at all of them as their eyes met his. "Very well." He agreed.
"All bets are on. Starting tomorrow." Araya said as she dragged Draco back onto the dance floor. Draco yelps as he had no choice but to follow.
"Why do I feel like I should be sorry for him?" Harry laughed.
"You should be more worried about you than him. Kikomii smirked. She took hold of Harry; much like her cousin did with Draco, and dragged him out to the dance floor as well.
The party was in full swing as everyone grabbed a partner or two and was dancing. Araya had Draco in the middle of the room, while Kikomii and Harry were somewhere close by. The hours rolled on by as the younger students went on to bed, leaving the older ones to continue partying. It was by far one of the longest welcome back parties to take place. Soon though, Draco took Araya to a quiet corner and sat down. He pulled her to his lap to rest a few songs before dancing some more. Harry did much the same with Kikomii, only they went to another part of the room.
The party lasted all night and into the next morning. It only stopped when Snape came in around 4:15am.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" Snape yelled as he barged into the common room. Everyone froze and the music stops suddenly. They all cringe at the angry look on Snape's face.
"Uh oh." Araya whispered as Kikomii gulps.
"BED! NOW! ALL OF YOU BETTER BE GLADE YOUR SLYTHERIN BECAUSE I COULD DECUCT BIG HOUSE POINT!" Snape was beyond furious. The students quickly rush up to their dorms to stay out of Snape's way. The only ones left in the common room where Kikomii, Harry, Araya, and Draco. Each one not sure what was about to happen.
Snape's eyes narrow as he stalks over to the group, "What are you doing here Harry Potter?"
"Partying?" Harry replied calmly.
Kikomii snickered, "You can't take points from him oh dear angry one, or you'll have to take them away from all of us."
Snape hated the fact that Kikomii was right. "Get to bed now." He said through clinched teeth.
Araya pouted, "Do we have to go to bed?"
"All of you, bed now hurry to your dorms now." Snape said unmoving.
"Alright, Alright. Don't get your hair in a twist." Araya replied.
Harry gave a quick kiss to Kikomii on her cheek before rushing back to the Gryffindor tower. He left Kikomii standing there blinking rapidly trying to figure out what he had just done. Araya laughed as she pulled her cousin back to the dorm they shared. Draco followed behind them smirking as he headed to his own dorm.
