Week Later
I sat up and noticed that Sasha wasn't in his bed. The shower was running, as well was the stove. I stretched and got up to go see who was making breakfast.
Velma was humming a sweet tune as she flipped over two pancakes at the same time. She was wearing a green and back plaid skirt over black leggings. A short sleeved maroon dress shirt was hidden underneath her white apron. Her hair was clipped in a bun, and her hands were void of jewelry.
I just realized that the four of us literally always wear some form of jewelry when we go out. Maybe that's why people give Sasha and I weird looks. And here was me thinking that the idiot was to blame for it. Wow, you really do learn something new everyday.
Velma sat the pancakes on a porcelain plate. She then drizzled some syrup, and turned to hand it to me.
"Good morning Ally," she smiled. I beamed back and thanked her for the meal. I sat in my assigned seat at our four person table. A fork as well as glass of milk were already set for me. I absolutely envy Velma in every way. She is beautiful, clever, responsible, considerate, loving, and can cook and clean anything. Dakota says I can not cook to save my life. But then why do Sasha and Velma always eat the meals I make for them. Dakota probably just has to much fast food in her system, which is destroying her taste buds.
As I ate my fifth piece Sasha walked through the front door. He was wearing jeans and a tee shirt. He was also sweating as if he had been jogging. I scrunched up my nose as he sat down beside me.
"Sasha...go shower," I ordered. He pouted at me, along with puppy eyes. I stared back not caring. Grunting he got back up and headed to the bathroom. He knocked and out came Dakota in shorts and a black tank top. Her hair was still wet as it hung down against her back.
"WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING A BRA?!" I screamed as I noticed the obvious. She looked down to examine her hanging chest.
"Huh...would ya look at that," she smiled as she walked over to sit in front of me. I glared at her. "What? I'm in the house."
"That does not excuse you from wearing the proper material." Then Velma added after me,
"Schimbare. Te voi săruta." Crap she was speaking Romanian, which I have yet to learn. However it seemed to work. Dakota's face lit up and sprinted back to her room to change. I heard the shower turn on, which eased my mind to know that he was actually washing his body. I finished and handed the empty plates to Velma.
Once all of us were finished showering and getting dressed we assembled into the living room. Sasha being the attention git that he is decided to stand on the coffee table to bring our attention to him.
"Ladies and gents. As we all know it is our dear Al's birthday today-"
Oh that was today?
"And as we all know he is finally turning fifteen on this beautiful day of July 22. And since this is a fifteenth birthday I decided to plan ahead our day."
We clapped. My heart was beating slightly faster than normal. I was very curious and excited to see what we'd be doing. Knowing Sash it is probably going to be weird, sweet, and down right cliché.
"So everyone if we are all decently dressed let us make our way to the cinema."
We all were dressed casually with not a whole lot of extra materials. Sasha told us we should dress up later on.
On our way to the cinema we were at only a week ago a thought pondered me. What movie were we going to see? I tried asking Sasha but he wouldn't budge! I decided to give him my puppy eyes. I could see the bastard breaking slowly under my cuteness pressure.
"Sorry Luv but it is a surprise," he smirked. I gawked at him in disbelief . He actually resisted my cuteness?! I Humphed and turned to look out on the road. It's not like I care.
I later found out that we were watching Beauty and the Beast live action. I was so excited and kissed my brother and raced into the building to grab tickets. I laughed when I met him with tickets. His face was a dark red which reached his ears. His reaction is just to much, considering it was a peck on the cheek.
The movie was spectacular in every way. It held many favorite moments from the animated film, but also added it's own scenes. Which in my educated opinion made it all the better than the previous one.
Next up was a Trampoline Park Sasha had selected, called the Oxygen Free-jumping Acton. Inside where of course trampolines everywhere. Walls built to bounce off of. The only colors were blue grey and yellow.
"Holy shit bro this is lit!" Dakota screeched. I shot her a glare which silenced her mouth. Once we had our paper brackets on we raced for the trampolines. Dakota and Velma went to the floor ones, while Sasha and I began doing flips and tricks off the walls.
We were in there for two and half hours. During that we held a competition. Two people faced off and who ever made more back flips in five minuets went to the next round. The final round was between Velma and Sasha. And of course...Velma won against Sasha.
"Now what happens?" Velma asked Sasha as we got into the car. I checked my phone and realized it was six fifty. Wow this day went by quickly.
"Now we go home and freshen up for dinner!" Sasha announced.
I was so glad to be ridden of the sweat from today's earlier activities. I dressed myself in...this.
Tight grey jeans, black sneakers, and navy blue light sweater.
Checking my self in the mirror I added silver stud earrings. Satisfied I walked out to find the girls already done. And they did look absolutely gorgeous.
Dakota- grey tank top with white lined long horn, military green jacket, black tight shirts, and combat boots, along with thin stockings.
Velma- black ankle length boots, short black skirt decorated in roses, and a cream colored sweater.
We sat in the living room awaiting our brother who for some reason was taking an unholy amount of time getting ready.
Finally Sasha made his way out of the bathroom looking interesting. He had the earrings he'd worn a week ago on Friday, along with blue jeans, black vans, and a grey jean jacket over a white t shirt that had lyrics printed on it.
He posed for us and finally we went on to the diner he had planned for. We went to City Caphe which was down 17 Ironmonger Lane London. I had never heard of the place, but was very pleased to find it served my favorite. Vietnamese food. I ordered lemongrass tofu baguettes. Sasha had classic pork baguettes, while the girls shared a large plate of classic spring rolls with sauce on the side.
We talked about politics, religion, past wars of our country, and anything else under the sun. (An: pretty much what me and my friends do at lunch). I noticed it was getting dark out and checked my phone. The time was eight twenty five. Dakota paid the check and we got back into the car awaiting directions from the master of the day.
"Is that it?" I asked suspecting that the day was yet to end knowing Sasha. He smirked and shook his head. Quietly he gave Dakota directions and we were on our way.
As we reached a part of the city I'd never visited we slowed down. Traffic was pretty heavy thanks to a theater up ahead.
"Oh that's right. It's BBC Proms Night!" Velma exclaimed in delight. I feel like I've heard about this event at school...possibly a teacher ranting.
"Kody park in the mini lot over near the playground," Sasha commanded. Dakota turned her best into the mini lot and put the car in park. By now it was dark out and the head lamps were on shining down on by-passers. Sasha led us down walk ways till we reached...carriages?
"A carriage ride?" I asked dumbly. He gave me a sheepish look. As we approach one carriage Dakota said,
"Oh crap! I forgot me and Velma-
"Velma and I."
"Had something to do!"
The two left down the street towards what seemed to be a suspicious looking pub. I sighed and turned to my brother who had his hand out. Grabbing it he helped me into the carriage, and then climbed in after me. The man clicked at the white mares and we were on our way.
"So luv how's your day been?" Sasha asked as he placed his arm around my shoulders, as I enjoyed the scenery.
"Not back poppet," I looked at him and smiled,"not bad at all."
The temperature began dropping in the middle of the ride. I glanced at my brother who seemed nervous for some reason. I began to panick...what if he's actually going to confess his real love for me?! See when ever he does anything that a boyfriend would he is just playing around, as do I back at him. Though honestly if he confesses what shall I say to him. I don't want to hurt my brother...but I don't want to become his bride!
"Hey Aluim," he whispered. I shivered at the use of my full name. He stared down at his hands fiddling with...a box! Shite this is not good! "I well...how do I say this? Um okay ah...we have been close since birth, and I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me...so I got you this."
He held out the green box(my favorite color) for me to take. Hesitant I took a hold of the box and slowly opened it. Inside was a silver ring the twists together
"Sasha what are you playing at?" I asked in fear. Please be a prank! Please let this be one of your stupid and dumb f*ed up pranks!
"It's a lucky charm."
...what?
"A lucky charm?" I stared at the pretty ring as I twirled it on my fingers.
"Yeah I week ago I went to the weird pub that the girls constantly go to, and turns out it ain't an actual pub. It's a weird store chalk full of magical items...or so the crazy old lady says. Anyway I wanted you to always be lucky...so I thought this was a good birthday present."
I stared at him, my green eyes going wide in awe.
Sasha's POV (real quick)
I watched as those big beautiful emeralds that are his eyes widen. They had a strange but pretty sparkle in them. His brown hair was tossed in the gentle wind, and his normally pale cheeks shone a cute red. My breathe caught as he looked back at the ring in wonder.
At that moment I swore that I wouldn't let anything happen to him...my twin brother.
Back to Aluims POV
I watched as Sasha took the ring and my right hand in his own hands. With great care he slipped the ring on my ring finger. My breathe caught and I glanced up at him from beneath my bangs. He gave me a confident smile. I took my hand from his to examine the ring. It fit perfectly.
I sat back up and looked at him with a blank face. His smile seem to be fading, but I'm sure it reappeared when I pulled him into a bear hug.
"Happy birthday Aluim."
"Thank you."
For the rest of the ride I sat with his arm around me, and enjoyed the stars.
Hour and half later
"Where are they?" I asked as we waited by the car. It was now ten o'clock and still no sight of the girls. We trying calling and texting but nothing.
"Maybe they got drunk and lost track of time?" Sasha thought.
" I highly doubt Velma would allow such atrocities to occur." We waited another ten minuets and then we saw it. A strange group of people wearing black masks and red cloaks. Sasha stood in front of me as they approached. His good ol Swiss Army knife clasped in his grasp. They circled around us trapping us in the middle. Who I believe was the ring leader stepped forward raised a stick at us. Weeks back memories shook me to the core.
"Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy."
Who?
"You have been chosen as ultimate sacrifices for his lord who awaits return from death."
Sasha growled as he raised his knife in plain warning. I glanced at the ones behind me. I was honest to God terrified of what these people were possibly capable of.
"And now you shall come with us," the masked ring leader's stick glowed and everything went white.
I sat up, a ringing in my ears. My body was aching with a strange sensation. Around me the bodies layed. Sasha was staring at me with fear and confusion. I got on all fours and shaking asked him what had happen.
"I don't know. One minute he was about to attack and the next you and all the others collapsed in a flash of light. "
He helped me stand which was easier said than done. My body was shaking and my head was still buzzing. The group of cloaked people were not breathing. Had I killed them? But how?!
"Ally we have to get out of here now!" Sasha said as he started dragging me across the park and into another busy street. I saw them as I glanced over my shoulder. The men from last time. And with them was the one with glasses and a lightning scar. We picked up our speed and slipped through the heavy crowd of people.
"Here let's cut across the alley and back to the pub the girls are at!"
As we entered the alley I realized that we weren't being followed. I dreading feeling landed in my gut as we neared the end of the dark tunnel. As we ran out the end Sasha pulled me behind him, only to collapse in my arms sending us to the ground.
"Sasha!" I cried clinging to him as I watched the men approach us. I took the knife from my brother's hand and raised it at four eyed bastard. My other arm wrapped protectively around Sasha. "Don't move any closer bastard!" I warned baring my teeth. The man halted and raised his arms in surrender.
"I'm not going to hurt you," he said. I growled at him as his men came closer. The four eyed bastard signaled for them to stop. "Your friend-
"Brother."
"...your brother isn't hurt. I simply casted a stunning spell on him. He will wake up soon."
"Spell? As in magic?" I asked my mind not quite processing his gibberish. He nodded and held out his stick.
"This is a wand which allows us magic folk to produce magic," he explained to me. Of course I didn't right out believe all this nonsense so I asked,
"And just why are you telling me all this?"
"Because you are a wizard as well."
"Your wrong. I don't have magic...in fact neither do you," I told him. He raised a brow in question.
"Then explain to me this. What happened just now to your brother...and to those group of wizards in the lot?"
The flash of white, just thinking about it caused my head to hurt. As for what happened to everyone...it's possible...no there is no such thing as magic. Just tricks of the eye that's all.
"There. Is. No. Such. Thing. As. Goddamn. Magic!" I yelled at him. He seemed taken back for a moment. Then he pointed his wand straight at me.
"Sorry."
My vision suddenly went black...
"Velma...Dakota...Sasha."
