Hello :] Sorry, I'm a rubbish uploader, but I've planned out the next couple chapters so if I have time they should be uploaded quicker. Here's chapter two, the next chapter should introduce at least two new characters (so stay tuned!xD) Again, I'd like to stress this is not meant to be a particularly serious story so please try to ignore any bad english or anything (though I'm a perfectionist so there shouldn't be too much!xP).
I do not own Harry Potter, if I did Voldermort would have a nose. A big one. Like my old maths teacher. :P
Monday could not come quick enough for Sophie as her and her sister, Katrina, would be heading off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where they would learn how to cast spells, use Floo powder, explore the castle...
"...and not to mention the food 'Trina, I mean I've heard stories that they have magic plates that make food appear out of thin air!"
A very excited Sophie was perched on the edge of her bed, wistfully and enthusiastically describing what lay ahead of the two girls, while the older of the two didn't even pretend to be listening as she packed her suitcase full of "necessary" clothing items.
The younger of the two's excitement reached its peak as she began using her bed as a trampoline,
"We'll even be taught to fly! To fly! I mean can you believ-"
"Didn't you have a good enough flight last week?"
She was cut off by Katrina putting down her newly bought black and hot pink suspenders long enough to give her sister a sarcastic look.
"Well yeah, but that was only like a foot off the ground, imagine flying as high as the house! Or a mountain! Or-"
"As high as my credit bills?" It was at this moment that the girls' bedroom door swung open, startling Sophie and causing her jump way too high, landing butt first on the floor.
"Klutz..." Katrina mumbled as she squashed the last of (what looked like) her entire wardrobe into her leopard print suitcase.
"Morning dad," the girls said in unison.
The man rubbed the morning sleep out of his sea green eyes, "Morning girls. Good sleep?"
Sophie made a quick recovery as she jumped up and replied, "Uh, how can you expect us to sleep when we're going to friggin' HOGWARTS!" It was more of a statement than a question really.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that, it's gonna be weird not having you two around for months on end, but at least my credit card will get a break from a certain shopaholic." He casually leant against the doorway while aiming an accusing gaze towards Katrina, who immediately became very interested in the pink and purple spotted carpet.
"You won't be too lonely; didn't you invite Miss Harvey over this morning to show her your new painting?" Sophie wiggled her eyebrows at her dad as she put emphasis on the Miss.
At the mention of the woman, his hand reached up to smooth his unruly brown locks, "Well, um yes I did, but it's not like she's staying or anything..."
"Come on dad, we know all about your date last weekend. Next time, don't go to the restaurant right across the street; we do have windows you know."
Both girls giggled as the grown man's cheeks flushed bright red (which he tried and failed to cover up by complaining about how messy the room was).
"But you girls are okay about it...right? I mean, we've only gone on one date, but it's the first I've been on since your mum..." His voice trailed off, they tried not to mention the twins' mother, as she had to leave when they were barely a year old.
The room was silent for a moment, until Katrina got up from where she was sat on the floor and gave her dad a hug, "Of course! You deserve to have some fun; you've had to look after us for the best part of 16 years and to be honest I have no idea how you did it; I remember feeling ready to throttle someone after having to babysit that thing for half an hour!" She gestured towards Sophie who joined in the family hug as well.
No-one spoke and they stayed like this for a while until their dad pulled away with a face saying "OK enough of this mushy stuff, you girls have got to get ready, I know how long it takes you to do your hair alone! Now if you don't mind, I for one am starving so I'm off to go make breakfast. Waffles anyone?"
"With syrup!"
"Chocolate syrup please."
With a grin, he left the two girls alone, Sophie turned to face her sister, "'Babysit'? We're twins! You're only seven days older."
With a glint in her amber eyes, Katrina absentmindedly wrapped a dark brown curl around her finger as she replied, "Yes, dear sister, but it can obviously make a big difference, I mean, wasn't it only a week ago you discovered your powers and now, in a few hours we'll be riding the Hogwarts Express to a magical school for witches and wizards!"
The excitement which had filled her to the brim mere minutes before, had returned full force as Sophie perked up at the thought of their coming adventure,
"Oh wow! I just thought of all the new friends we'll meet there."
"Not to mention the cute boys..." Katrina added with a wink, which made them giggle, but before either could carry on the conversation, the doorbell rang, which was followed by a clatter of pans and an "I'll get it!" coming from down stairs.
This just brought out more laughter from the teens as together they slipped out of their joint bedroom and made their way downstairs, neither trying to hide their laughter, but both thinking the exact same thing:
Today was going to be awesome.
I'm not very happy with this chapter :/ But thank you for reading! Please please please review!:D
