Twin for a twin

Chapter 1 (Intro)

"Amelia, Arabella are you packed yet?" Father yelled up the stairs. "Yes Father." I smiled walking down the dark wooden staircase, despite wearing a large jumper, joggers and fluffy socks I was still cold. We lived in a large dark mansion that rarely had any laugher to fill it with joy and warmth since mother died, me and Arabella were only two months old when she died in the hospital, when we were born she became very weak and didn't have the strength to fight away the infection the nurse had given her when she used the wrong spell to cut down the pain of childbirth, ever since that day father has been a cruel person as if in capable of love. I always felt like he blamed me and Bella. "Good, I don't want you to miss your train" he turned to face me "You aren't seriously going to wear something so unpleasant are you, honestly you bring disappointment to this family's name!" he spat out before walking closer to me "You are a disgrace! Maybe you will meet a pure blood that actually tolerates you so you can move out or you never know maybe you will be killed! I think the second option is more likely to happen, don't you?" he leaned forward and put his wand to my throat "Get changed!" he lowered his wand and I ran upstairs crying.

"Bella?" I sniffled before pushing open her bedroom door. "Yes Amelia?" she turned away from the mirror to look at me "Father being rude like normal?" she stood up and walked over to me putting her arms around me slowly because she knows I'm scared of quick motions. "If mother was here maybe it would be better." she held me close and then wiped away my tears. I nodded and smiled at her "I best get changed so we can get the train." She pushed my hair behind my ear and I looked at her face, she was only wearing eyeliner and a small amount of mascara it was obvious she was the gorgeous twin, she was top of her classes and rarely spoke bad to anyone apart from Crabbe and Goyle she hated them with every part of her. Me on the other hand was okay looking but not as smart as Arabella unless it came to pranks, I was the best at pranks in fact that's the reason we got kicked out of the witches and wizards boarding school in Spain, I spoke back to all my teachers and got into fights regularly, I think it's because I felt like I had to be tough so people would fear me which sounds really sad but it's the way it's always been and honestly I kinda liked it.

I got changed into black jeans and a tight black top, I put on my leather jacket and heeled black boots with a black beanie to top off the look. I grabbed mine and Bella's bags and walked downstairs Bella slightly behind me. "Ready father." She smiled. He flicked his dark brown hair that had fallen into his eye away and looked at us "Bella you look beautiful" he smiled and hugged her then his eyes trailed back to me "Amelia you look..." he looked me up and down with a disgusted look on his face "better." he walked away and into the kitchen where the back door was, we had to go out the back door because his 'friends' where coming over and he didn't want us to embarrass him. He reached into the fridge and handed Arabella a small paper bag inside was a chocolate muffin and some raspberries "There you go Darling." he said then he looked at me "You don't get one" he chuckled and walked off. I reached into the bowl on the counter and got a green apple. Thanks dad. "Bye arsewipe." I muttered under my breath as Bella chuckled at me. "Bye father, see you at christmas!" she shouted and we apparated to the train station.

Two beautiful red haired boys ran through the wall to platform 9 and 3/4 and I instantly recognised them it was Fred and George Weasley. Wow George was hot. I then remembered I had a boyfriend as I turned and saw him standing behind me "Hey Josh!" he grabbed me and kissed me "Hello." I felt very uncomfortable with him kissing me but it was fine sorta. The only reason I started dating him in the first place was because I wanted to hide the fact I was madly in love with George. "Jacob!" Arabella shouted as she ran over to him. Jacob was her boyfriend she actually liked him but in our first year  I would sometimes catch her swooning over Fred. Twin for a twin I guess. "Bella!" he ran to her and they hugged, "Okay, quick let's get a booth." I said darting onto the train. 

*An hour later* "So... Are you guys going to tell anyone who your dad is?" Jacob asked with an awkward smile. "No he's evil and everyone knows it, it's better if no one knows." I replied then I looked at Bella, she gave me a sympathetic smile and rubbed my hand. "Excuse me." I stood up and began to walk out of the door to the booth "Where do you think you're going?" Josh asked grabbing my wrist so tight it began to bruise "Let go or I will snap it off!" I spat out to him. He loosened his grip "I said where do you think you're going." I pulled my arm away from him and looked away "...Toilet." I delayed my response trying to think of a reason for me to leave because I just wanted to go. I walked away not looking back. I wiped a tear away from my face whilst looking down not paying attention to where I was going "Hey be careful you could get hurt" said a low raspy voice as I walked into someone. The voice sent butterflies all around my body "Sorry, George Weasley?" I said not looking up at him "Erm yes, and you must be...?" he reached his arm out to shake my hand "Amelia, Amelia R- just Amelia is fine" I reached my arm out to shake his hand and I lifted my head to smile at the mesmerising man infront of me. He looked down at our hands, I was completely unaware that my sleeve had come up exposing the bruise Josh had just made "Who did that to you?" he lifted my sleeve up more to get a better look "I- I erm" shit think of an excuse "I got arrested and the handcuffs bruised me." I nodded. Holy crap you're stupid. "Really? You can see hand marks." He chuckled then looked at me dead seriously "hey you can talk to me." He smiled showing he actually cared "Yeah no thanks Weasley." I pulled my arm away and walked off. Seriously how can I be so stupid.

*We arrived at Hogwarts* "Hey excuse me?" I said to a brown haired girl near me she turned around and I saw that she was beautiful with a pile of books in her hand, she had a red uniform on and then she softly said "Oh, Hi you must be new, I'm Hermione Granger, how can I help you?" she smiled at me "Erm hi I'm Amelia and this is my twin Arabella." I said pointing to Bella who was stood next to me "You can call me Bella." she smiled and nodded. "Anyway.." I rolled my eyes she's pretty and can make friends with literally anyone, why is Arabella so perfect?! "Do you know where we can find Dumbledore?" I asked moving my hair out of my eye. "Yes he will be standing at the door when we get to Hogwarts." She smiled and waved as she walked away.

*We get to the doors* "There he is... I think that's Dumbledor." I walked over to the man standing at the door, he was stroking his long white beard "Hello sir? I'm Amelia and this is Arabella." He looked at us both "Ah yes Amelia and Arabella R-" I cut his sentence off and he looked at me confused "That's what I came to talk to you about Sir... Could you not tell anyone out last names." I looked him dead in the eye and he nodded, he knew our father quite well so he knew the monster he truly was and understood why we didn't want our last names being said. "No problem now let's get you sorted into your houses."

We walked into the great hall after Dumbledore said "Let me introduce Amelia and Arabella they were here first year but are back now let's get them sorted into their houses." We walked in hand in hand she was wearing a white outfit with blue flowers on it while I was still wearing my full black outfit. We were walking as if in slow motion. I looked over at the table on my left and saw George staring at me so I winked at him and smiled then we looked over to our right and saw Josh and Jacob. "The houses are Griffindor (red), Hufflepuff (yellow), Ravenclaw (blue), and Slytherin (Green) Bella take a seat and we will put the sorting hat on your head." Professor McGonagall said, I remembered her from my first year. "Slytherin!" the sorting hat shouted and I looked at Bella I nodded in approval "Now you Amelia." I sat down on the old creaky stool all of a sudden the hat started talking to me "Hmmm you're brave, have a thirst to prove yourself, cunning hmmmmm difficult very difficult" I looked at Bella who had sat down at the Slytherin table and was of course making a bunch of friends "Griffindor... and Slytherin." I looked at Professor McGonagall "Just sit with Griffindor for now." I walked over and sat with the Weasley twins "Wicked." they whispered to each other.
