DISCLAIMER: everything you recognize belongs to JK Rowling. Unfortunately i cannot lay claim to this amazing world
okay so this chapter is just a little one about what makes Icera special, well one reason anyway, and why the twins care so much about her
CHAPTER TWO
We were so much a part of each other's lives that no one was surprised to find us together, sneaking off to plan some mischief, sneaking out of the castle, hanging out at the Burrow, prowling the castle corridors at night.
I was the one who figured out how to use the Marauder's Map. I was the one who kept them from getting expelled. I was always the one they came to for advice when they liked someone. I am the only one who could ever tell them apart.
"I can't believe this!" "I can. It's the same with everyone." "I thought she was different. I thought she might care enough to at least tell us apart." "Well, she did seem upset when you broke up with her." "What's going on twins of mine?" Their eyes found mine at once.
"Ice, hold me!" Fred fell into my arms dramatically. "What is it baby?" I said, stroking his hair. "I broke up with Ang." "She couldn't tell the two of you apart, could she?" "How did you know?" "Because I know what upsets you. Did you pull something over on her or was it by accident?" "We didn't set anything up. How could you accuse us of such treachery as though we've done it before?" "You do it to every girl who stays more than two months George." "Okay, fine we do that. But it is our right as twins to only date girls who can tell which twin she is dating."
"I'm not disputing that. I totally agree that people should figure out which of you is which." "Everyone has trouble with it." "Our own mum can't tell the difference."
"Well, you will always have me. I promise I will never get you mixed up." Fred pulled away from me and he and George grinned mischievously. "Really?" "Really." "How is it you are always so confident?" "I know what I can do. And I know my twins." "Your twins?" "You heard me; don't make me repeat myself."
"You're going to have to prove it." "I told you when we first met: either you have faith in me or you leave me alone. Don't you two learn?" "Of course not."
That is when it started. For the rest of our second year they tried to trick me. They called each other by the wrong name and switched dates. They switched clothes and Fred tried to act less sensitive. They switched brooms at practice.
"Would you two stop it; just because everyone else can't tell the difference doesn't mean I'm that stupid. Just because you call each other the wrong name doesn't mean I'm going to fall for it like some gullible little first year stupid enough to follow you when you say you'll take them somewhere safe. Give it up."
"How do you do it?" "Is it our hair?" "I don't have any freckles different from George." "We are the same height and weight." "We are exactly the same."
I stood up and stared them down with an evil glare they knew quite well. "You are not the same. You are two unique individuals who are very similar. You are two separate parts of a greater whole. And Fred's eyes are a lighter blue than yours, George because yours have green in them and Fred's don't. Besides, Fred is way more sensitive in a cuddly kind of way. You can't fool me. You are my twins."
After that they got the bright idea to brew up a batch of Polyjuice Potion and become each other.
They entered the common room together and came right up to me. I knew something was off immediately but I couldn't place my finger on it.
"Hello love. Fancy a drink with the world's best twins?" "I suppose so. Something is wrong. Did one of you crush some poor girl's heart when she couldn't tell you apart?" "No." "But just to make us feel better" "Will you tell us apart?" "Always."
"So, which one" "Is which?"
I looked at them for half a second and said: "Fred held his hand out to me when offering a drink and George pointed to himself when you said you were the world's best twins. If you are going to be this stupid could you at least make it a little bit of a challenge?"
They were dumbfounded.
"Just how stupid do you think I am?" "What do you mean?" "How could anyone think you were stupid?" "Well you must think very little of me if you think Polyjuice Potion can trick me. Though I am impressed that you figured out how to brew it properly." "We didn't actually." "We stole your notes." "I wrote those ages ago. I figured out a much faster way to do it you know."
It took all year and my 'I will kill you for being stupid' glare to make them believe me. But I'm the one who loved them. I would always be able to tell them apart because of that love. Love…I remember when I was too scared to admit that to them or myself.
okay guys, so review if you liked it

it only takes a couple of minutes and it won't kill anyone but my heart might just break without them
