dear boy with the green eyes ⁂ golden trio era (UNDER EDITING/REWRITING)

huit

          After being sucked into a vibrant world of red and gold, Arabella found it harder and harder to evade the Weasley's notorious twins in the coming days. She had expected nothing more than lunch and a chat, and in return, she received two towering boys with a knack for causing trouble. They weren't bothered by the fact she was a Slytherin, a Silvercrest, or that there was a looming threat that presented itself as her horrid cousin Gael. In fact, they were becoming pretty adamant about making the wretched girl experience misfortune in the forms of dung bombs and teeth-enlarging spells when she started to spew hateful things. They were slowly becoming her little entourage. But they were always whisking her away. Nevertheless, as much as she enjoyed their humor and their presence, she was in search of someone else as she was finally able to sneak away from the bright warm space they exuded.

          It was quite rare for someone like Seo Min-a to grab her attention like this, and with such little interaction at that. But here she was, searching for this one girl in a sea of faces. There were many she didn't recognize and a few she spotted from among the crowd. One, in particular, a second-year Gryffindor she'd seen Min-a around a couple of times. Hopping down from the pillar she was scoping from, Arabella kept her eyes carefully on the girl as the crowd started to grow. Pushing slightly through, Arabella weaved her way back to the library as the Gryffindor vanished behind the doors. Pulling the handle, she caught the last glimpse of the girl disappearing behind a tower of books. As she approached, the girl looked up at her then back to her company, whispering something before three faces turned towards her. Triplets or related in some way.Identical in facial structure but different all the same.

          "Hi, so sorry to interrupt you, but I'm looking for Seo Min-a. I was hoping you'd seen her." she almost felt as if she had stepped in on a private moment the three sets of eyes concentrated on her. "I'm Arabella Silv-"

          "We know who you are. Everyone does." the boy with hazel eyes spoke lazily; a light Italian accent came through ever so slightly. His sister or cousin beside him nudged him, a frown on her face.

          "Mattia," she hissed, "I apologize for my brother. He's not usually so rude." a girl with black hair and amber eyes said. Arabella's attention flickered to the Gryffindor emblem on her pullover before smiling softly. This was how most people decided to interact with her. They knew her name, knew of the horridness her cousin reaped and believed she was the same. Careful with their words in fear of the powerful families retaliation, Arabella merely watched them for a moment before speaking again.

          "No need to apologize, I-sorry, can I please have your names?"

          "That loudmouth is my brother Mattia. I'm Gia," the amber-eyed girl said, "and that's our sister Florence."

When Arabella looked at her, she was immediately taken aback by how pretty she was. She had tan skin, dark brown curls, and the most striking toffee brown eyes.

          "A pleasure to meet you really, um I'm looking for Min-a, she's also a Slytherin," she said, motioning to her chest before realizing she wasn't in her robes. In fact she was wearing a cream long sleeved ribbed knit dress, the square neckline of the garment where her emblem would have been. Brushing past her mistake she continued, "and I believe I've seen her with one of you." she moved her finger between Gia and Florence.

          "That would be me." Gia smiled. "We normally meet to study around now, but she mentioned the garden, and I believe her parents. So I'd try my luck there." the trio watched the Slytherin's grey eyes light up. Finally.

          "I appreciate it so much, thanks, Gia." her hand tightened around the strap of her satchel as she prepared to leave. "Very nice to meet you all. Hope we can chat again." she smiled as she turned, heading for the exit of the library.

                       To the garden.

          "SNAPPY SNAKE!" Arabella stumbled forward as she was tackled from behind by a pair of arms. She couldn't help but smile. The familiar scent of oranges and sandalwood swarmed her, droplets hitting her shoulder, soaking into the fabric of her top. "We thought the squid got you, haven't been avoiding us, huh?" Fred spoke with his crooked smile as he snaked his arm around her.

          "So what's got your pretty little head all preoccupied, Ellie? It's a free day," George spoke as the twins turned away from her set destination. Glancing back, she wanted to break away and head to the garden, but something in her gut told her to stay and let the twins whisk her away. 

          "Ellie?" she perked up in question 

          "Bella, Ella, Ellie if you must know. Plus, we've got a surprise." She hadn't been paying much attention, but when she tuned back in, she was standing in front of the infamous Fat Lady.
