Hi guys. This is kind of overdue I think... I didn't have internet for a while because I wasn't home... sorry. Anyways here's chapter 4!
The girls stared at their supposed aunt in shocked silence. Not only had a complete stranger asked them for a hug, but she had also just appeared out of thin air. Annie, being a naturally friendly six year old, went up to "aunt" Amelia, and gave her a big hug.
Amelia smiled and said, "Well at least someone here seems to love me." After Annie gave her aunt a hug Amelia turned to her sister and said,"It's so nice to see you Andrea! I feel like it's been years since our last visit."
"Well, as a matter of fact I believe it has been, Amelia." The two sisters hugged, Amelia greeted Michel then finally turned to the girls.
"So girls, which one of you is Lydia and which one is Katherine? And I do apologize, because I will never be able to tell you two apart."
Lydia raised her hand slightly, "I'm Lydia and this is my sister Katherine," she hedged warily.
"Its nice to meet you, aunt Amelia," added Katherine.
"Really, just call me Amelia, should I take them to get their school supplies?" This last part was directed toward their parents.
"Oh, erm of course, I guess, wait what day is it today?" their mother stammered, looking quite surprised at Amelia's direct knowledge of the situation. Lydia and Katherine stared at their mother.
"Its our birthday." They said together, just as their father said, "the 27th of August."
"Well in that case by all means of course! That would make it four days until September 1st. I suppose you can explain everything to them on the way to…well wherever you're going. Diamond alley or something right? But they really must be back by 5, that's the time dinner is, you're welcome to join us if you want, Amelia." Their mother said this all rather quickly.
"Alrighty, then! You two have eaten correct?" Amelia asked, the twins nodded as Amelia continued, "Then lets get going! Grab my hands and hold on very tightly, and what ever you do don't let go, you might end up in some random place somewhere, which has potential to be rather awkward."
"Um, where exactly are we going?" asked Katherine, as Aunt Amelia shut her eyes in concentration.
"Please don't speak. Its been a rather long time since I've Apparated with more people than myself," Amelia looked away uneasily.
After a few moments in complete darkness and a rather uncomfortable squished feeling the three stood blinking in the sunlight of a rather strange looking place that seemed to have many different types of stores selling magical equipment. The girls looked at each other then at their aunt. She grinned toothily, looking down at them, "Welcome to Diagon Alley."
