Please note: This will mostly be PG until near the end where it starts getting in PG-13. Also, this doesn't have a happy ending. There will be a ton of angst mixed in. There won't be much swearing except maybe from the occasional adult since Ela is seven in this. Also, this is not going to be very long since it is supposed to only be about one certain day.

I would appreciate any constructive criticism you have as long as it isn't a flame or merely insulting me or my fic. Please tell me what I can improve on.

Enjoy!

It was a sunny and beautiful day. The wind whispered through the trees. Animals ran through the grass and flew through the air. In the distance stood a majestic castle. It was a beautiful white surrounded by a garden that appeared not of this earth. The garden surrounding it was beautiful. The plants were made up of whites, greens, and blues. Magic filled the air, and a soft melody filled it.

A young girl could be seen in the distance, skipping through fields of flowers and cute animals. The girl had long, dark brown hair. Her hair had a wavy look to it. Bright blue eyes shown with happiness and the girl gave a soft giggle as she picked up a nearby rabbit and cuddled with it.

The young girl turned to a girl who looked like a duplicate of the other. The other girl held in her hands a thick book that appeared too complicated for someone of her age.

"Ela" the first girl pouted "what are you doing?"

'Ela' looked up from her thick book and scowled "Reading, Elentá."

Elentá rolled her eyes and frowned "I know that, but why? It's our birthday! You shouldn't sitting around reading those boring books! You should be happy and play today!"

Ela glowered at her twin "I see nothing to be happy about."

Elentá frowned at that, a worried look on her face "Ela, Mum and Dad will come, you-"

Ela slammed her book closed, causing her twin to flinch. She glared at her and sneered "Know what? You know just as well as I do, that even if they do come they will constantly be distracted! They don't care about us!"

Elentá looked close to tears at Ela's bad temper and flinched. Ela noticed and immediately calmed down.

Ela sighed and said quietly "I'm sorry. It's just-" she paused and a sad look crossed her face "you know mother and father never come for our birthdays. And whenever they do come home, they are always distracted as if they can't stop thinking about work."

Elentá sighed and said quietly "I know." However, her expression immediately brightened. She grabbed Ela's hands and smiled brightly "But we shouldn't let that get us down! It's our seventh birthday! That means only four more years until Hogwarts!"

Ela sighed, a fond smile on her face "You're such a Gryffindor, Elentá."

Elentá scowled, an affronted look on her face "I am not! Besides! When we go to Hogwarts, I'm going to be in the same house as you!"

Ela smiled, an amused look on her face "Oh? And where would that be?"

Elentá huffed and stuck her nose in the air, looking as if she was insulted by such a question "Slytherin, of course."

Ela laughed at her and smirked "You'd make a terrible Slytherin, Elentá."

Elentá scowled and argued "Would not!"

Ela smirked "Yes you would. Knowing you, you'd probably make cookies for all of them and then give them all hugs."

Elentá huffed "There's nothing wrong with cookies and hugs."

Ela just laughed back in response. Elentá scowled at her for a few moments before joining in. After a few moments, they calmed down. When they looked up, a nervous, young maid stood before them.

"The Master and Mistress are here, young Mistresses." The maid said.

Elentá smiled brightly and turned to Ela "Told you so!" she giggled before dragging Ela along with her to meet their parents.

Ela frowned as she felt a sense of foreboding, filled her. She felt as if something very bad would happen today.

She had no idea how right she was.

Ela followed her sister reluctantly. She had no wish to see her parents, the same parents that they almost never saw. Elentá dragged Ela inside to the front door. Ela scowled, silently hoping that this would be quick.

Their parents stood at the front door. Their father's face was calm and collected while their mother had an irritated scowl on hers. Their mother was a tall woman. She had long blonde hair that was kept in a neat bun. She was pale, though not the same pale as the two girls. Her eyes while blue, were dull and narrowed slightly due to irritation. While she was pushing forty, she looked several years younger. Her arms were crossed while she tapped her foot. Their father was also a tall man. He was about as pale as his daughters and had long, dark brown hair that was neatly kept in a loose ponytail. His eyes were hazel. He stood up straight and his face gave nothing away.

"Mum! Dad!" Elentá greeted them loudly. Ela grimaced as the two turned in their direction.

"Elentá." her mother greeted kindly. Her small smile turned into a scowl as she turned to Ela and said coldly "Elaviel." Their father merely nodded a greating.

Ela was not stupid, despite what others may say. She knew her mother, and her father also though he didn't quite show it, favored her sister more than her. In fact, she knew they disliked her probably due to the fact that she was not a kind and bubbly girl like her sister. Ela was more of a silent and sarcastic child who enjoyed the pain of others.

"Why don't we go and have some cake?" their mother directed the question towards Elentá, purposely ignoring Ela.

Elentá nodded eagerly as she dragged Ela with her as she followed their parents. Ela scowled. She disliked the cake unlike her sister. It was much too sweet for her taste. She dragged her feet along as she allowed her sister to drag her along. Elentá gave her a small glare at it but seemed to ignore it mostly.

They quietly sat down and ate the cake. The meal was an awkward affair. Their parents were obviously distracted, just as Ela had thought they would be, and had tried several times to try and start a conversation. However, it was hopeless. It was obvious that neither of them didn't know a thing about their daughters and thus couldn't start a conversation. They ate in silence, a sad frown on Elentá's face throughout it.

They had then opened their presents. There were a few presents from their cousins, all of them for Elentá seeing as none of their cousins liked Ela. They both had received nice gifts from their grandparents, a book on the history of the family for Ela and a pretty snowy owl that had black tiped feathers for Elentá. Their parents gifts were, in Ela's opinion, a sad attempt. They had both received identical, and rather tacky, necklaces. Elentá beamed with joy at it and quickly put it on. Ela did not touch hers.

"Ela," her mother asked, a scowl on her face "Aren't you going to put it on?"

"It's made of gold" she answered dully, her eyes showing that he was unimpressed "I'm allergic to gold. Or have you forgotten?" Her mother lightly blushed, showing that she had in fact forgotten.

After they finished opening their presents, their parents suggested to going outside, which Elentá happily agreed to. Ela felt a feeling of dread as she mutely nodded her head.

So? How was it? Please Review!

Yeah anyway, the angst and death start next chapter.
