Madyline Black has always been aware of who she was — who she, her twin brother, and her cousin were. They were cousins from Sirius and Regulus Black, the Black brothers. Madyline was aware of the meaning of the stares she got, when she shouldn't know that. She was aware that she, her twin, and cousin were the only thing that got the Malfoy's and Weasley's agreed on —— even if no one told her, she could see it clearly.
        "You run in between platforms 9 3/4," said Mrs Weasley.
        Auden and Madyline looked at Mrs Weasley before Fred said, "I'll go with Madyline and George will go with Auden."
        The Black twins smiled gratefully at the Weasley twins. Madyline quickly put all her stuff onto Fred's cart, putting her cart away, and grabbed Fred's hand with the other on the cart.
        "Ready?" Fred asked Madyline. She nodded and they ran through the barrier.
        Fred helped her get her trunk and owl on the train and left to help Auden.
        "Mads, Auntie Elle is here!" Auden exclaimed as he ran into the compartment with the Weasley twins behind him.
        "She is?" said Madyline excitedly. "Is Nyx, Eden, and Regulus here too?"
        "Yeah!"
        "Hey! We were going to tell her!" shouted the Weasley twins.
        Madylin rolled her eyes and ran to see Elpis Potter Prewett.
        Elpis was pregnant with her and Gideon Prewett's third child when he died, which was Eden. They had wanted seven children, like Molly and Arthur.
        "Auntie Elle!" yelled Madyline as she jumped into Elpis' arms.
        "Hello, Mads," said Elpis. "Excited for Hogwarts?"
        "Yeah!"
        Once back on the train, the Black twins sat back in their seats across from each other and looked out the window. Madyline looked up as the compartment door opened and in came two boys and two girls.
        "Everywhere else is full," the first boy said in an Irish accent.
        "You can sit here," replied Auden. "Auden Black, and this is my twin, Madyline Black."
        "Seamus Finnigan," said the Irish boy.
        "Dean Thomas," said the black boy.
        "Jasmine Jordan."
        "Mackenzie Potter."
        "Okay," said Madylin. "Nicknames for all of us. Auden is Den. I'm Mads. Seamus is Irish Boy. Dean is Deanie Weenie. Jasmine is Jazzy. And Mackenzie is Mack."
        Dean glared at Madylin but she shrugged at him.

        "Black, Auden!"
        Madyline watched as her twin walked up to the stool and sat down. Instantly the hat shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!"
        "Black, Madyline!"
        Madylin looked at Cassiopeia Black and the latter squeezed the former's hand. Madylin took a deep breath and went up. She sat on a stool and put the hat on, the hat doing the same thing as Auden, "GRYFFINDOR!"
        Auden cheered loudly for his twin as she came to sit next to her.
        "Black, Cassiopeia!"
        Once the hat touched her head, it shouted, "SLYTHERIN!"
