Andie quietly removed the curtains from around her bed. She looked around her dormitory, that she shared with Rose Weasley, Annabelle Jackson, and Ashleigh Wronks. Andie slowly grabbed a diary that she had on her bedside table, her wand, and a cloak. She quietly opened the door, stepping out into the hallway that lead down into the Ravenclaw common room. She seated herself on the couch, staring into the darkness of the room.
Scor, I need you. They`re back, she wrote in the journal.
In her first year, when her and her twin brother Scorpius got sorted into different houses, her father got them two journals. He failed to mention, though, that it was a journal they were to use to communicate with. Whatever you wrote in the journal also appeared in the other journal. Andie only found this out when Scorpius began to tease her about how "cute" she thought Fred Weasley was.
She heard the faint scratching on the parchment. "Lumos." The tip of her wand lit up and she read the parchment.
Meet me in the Astronomy tower, Scorpius had written back. Andie wrapped her cloak around herself as she stood up, taking the journal with her. She quietly exited out of the common room, trying as hard as she could not to wake the portrait. She took a passageway that she and Scorpius had found in their third year at Hogwarts, which lead straight to the Astronomy tower.
She sighed, relieved, when she saw Scor sitting, watching the stars.
Andie was very, very close to her twin. She couldn`t remember a time before Hogwarts that they`d ever been separated. At home, the two shared everything that a female and male set of twins could share. They told each other everything and anything and had absolutely no secrets from each other. They knew each other like the back of their hands.
"Are you alright?" Scorpius asked as his twin sister sat down next to him. "What was the dream about this time?"
"The same, Scor. It`s always the same," Andie answered, running a hair through her platinum blonde hair. Scorpius sighed.
"Andie, these dreams aren`t normal. You should tell somebody besides me, somebody who could help. Maybe Rose Weasley?"
Andie laughed, forgetting about her dream momentarily. "You just want an excuse to talk to her! And you are not using my recurring nightmare for one!"
"I do not!" Scorpius defended. "I really think she might be able to help!"
"Yeah, sure. Help," Andie rolled her eyes. "Scorpius, you know she and her family hates both of us. They`ll just use it for something to make fun of us with."
"You don`t know that!"
"Yes I do. I live with her."
Scorpius sighed. "Out of all people I fall for, out of all the damn people…it had to be her!" Andie put her hand on Scorpius` shoulder.
"Don`t freak. She`ll come around soon, I bet," Andie said, just as she always had since Scorpius developed a crush on the Weasley in second year. Now, in fifth year, he had yet to get over her.
Scorpius sighed. "So, have you finished your potions essay?"
The two sat up talking for the rest of the night, until morning came. This was something they often did, because neither liked to go back to sleep whenever Andie had her nightmares. Andie, because she was truly frightened by them, and Scorpius because he knew they meant something. And from the way his sister described them, they didn`t mean anything good.
Andie quietly made her way from the common room into her dormitory. Whilst trying to successfully get into her bed without her other roommates noticing, she tripped over a tie and went fumbling towards the ground. And, just to add to her great amount of luck, Rose Weasley shot up.
She rubbed at her eyes, before focusing them on Andie. A glare was suddenly set across her normally pretty and sweet face. Andie usually could understand why Scorpius fancied her, until she opened her mouth.
"What the hell are you doing?" Rose hissed. Andie gathered herself off the ground, muttering curses at her clumsiness. "Well Malfoy?" Andie tried to politely disregard how Rose had said her name with such disgust.
"Um, just getting ready," Andie lied, not meeting Rose`s eyes.
"At five thirty in the bloody morning?"
"Ravenclaw, remember? Early bird gets the worm. I need to get some studying done." For a minute, Andie could swear the ends of Rose`s mouth twitched. Probably because it reminded her of something her best friend Ashleigh Wronks would say.
Rose got out of bed, stretching. She yawned loudly. Ignoring Andie, she began to get ready herself. Andie turned and copied her actions, grabbing her uniform and her cloak and walking into the bathroom. Andie quickly changed into her clothes, then looked at herself in the mirror. She stared at her platinum blonde, long locks of hair and sighed. Her vibrant blue eyes peeled away from her reflection and back to her getting ready. Braiding her hair to the side, she sighed once more, before exiting the bathroom.
"Took you long enough," Rose sent a nasty look towards Andie before stepping in the bathroom herself.
Andie plopped down onto her bed.
Scorpius was sitting in the common room, before picking up the journal.
Hey, you all right? I didn`t get to ask before you left. He scribbled down the words quickly, before stuffing his pocket sized, red and gold journal into his cloak pocket. He was already fully dressed, just sitting in the common room until six o`clock came and he thought it suitable to go down to the Great Hall.
I`m okay. Just spooked as always. What time are you going down to the Great Hall? The words appeared magically onto the parchment. He got out his quill, ready to reply, but then he felt the journal snatched out of his hands.
"Malfoy, is this a diary?"
Scorpius` eyes narrowed, as he eyed the bane of his existence. James Sirius Potter. Flanking his sides were Fred Weasley and Lysander Scamander.
"No, give it back," Scorpius growled as he tried to grab it back.
"No," James barked. "Have you been having conversations with yourself, Malfoy?" James was flipping through the pages, through past conversations between himself and his sister. Glaring menacingly at the Potter boy, Scorpius practically growled.
"No."
"'Scor, please come meet me down in the Astronomy tower. I`m scared.'" James laughed. "Who`ve you been meeting in the Astronomy tower, Scor? More importantly, who would want to meet you?"
Scorpius finally snatched the journal out of James` hands, his blue eyes dancing dangerously. "None of your business."
"Come on, Malfoy. Just tell us who you`re girlfriend is. And why she`s so scared. Sounds like a baby. Is she a Hufflepuff?"
Scorpius gritted his teeth and turned around, walking away.
Ever since Scorpius and Andie had entered Hogwarts in their first year, the Potter-Weasley clan hated them. Every single one of them. Well, there was still doubt. Some of them just didn`t acknowledge their existence. Like Albus Potter. He was Scorpius` potions partner in third year, but never spoke to him unless he had to.
Scorpius leaned on a wall, a few corridors from the Gryffindor common room. Scorpius had honestly thought when he was sorted into Gryffindor that people might look at him and his sister differently. He could remember James` exact words.
"Just because you`re in Gryffindor doesn`t mean anything. Look at Peter Pettigrew. He was still a bloody terrible person, wasn`t he?"
He sighed.
Scor, I`m heading to the Great Hall. Meet me as soon as you can? Andie`s sloppy, but sort of elegant looking sprawled across the parchment. Scor was already up, practically running towards the Great Hall.
He walked in and saw Andie waiting there patiently, slowly piling her plate with food. Andie saw him and sighed relieved. The whole entire hall was almost empty, except for a group of Hufflepuffs, a couple Grffyindors, and Rose Weasley.
Andie smiled up at him when he walked over. He noticed bags under her eyes, but it was not so noticeable after she obviously concealed it with magic. You wouldn`t know they were there without it. Andie watched as Scorpius sat down.
"Look, Scor. There`s Rose," Andie stage whispered, nodding her head at the young redhead sitting all the way at the other end of the table, reading a book. "Want to go consult her about my nightmares?"
Scor chuckled. "Shut up, Andromeda."
"Full names? Alright then, Scorpius Hyperion."
Andie laughed as her brother glared at her for using his completely terrible middle name. He growled. "What were mum and dad even thinking when they named me?"
"Obviously thinking that you were going to be some sort of super villain," Andie burst out into a fit of laughter, clutching her stomach. Scorpius glared at her. "Hyperion. Scorpius Hyperion!" Scorpius chuckled.
"Andromeda Aries. That sounds like a queen."
"Merlin, have the names in our family all been as dumb as ours?" Andie grinned. Scorpius shrugged, stealing a piece of bacon off Andie`s plate.
"Well there was Great Uncle Orion. And Lucius."
"Luscious."
With that, the two burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter. Down the table, they could see Rose Weasley glancing at them every now and then, and then turning away quickly.
Most of the time, Andie and Scorpius were all the other had. Between most of the school hating them and the other half just not acknowledging them, they didn`t have much of a choice. But when it all came down to it, neither would want to be stuck with anybody else.
Yeah not so much action in this chapter. This was more of a filler. I thought I`d use this chapter to show some of the closeness between Scor and Andie. And the problems they have! Anyways, thanks for reading. It`s very appreciated!
