[I'm changing the way I write since I feel it's too choppy] 


The Letter arrived at Godrics Hollow while Esther was in her gym. In her previous life, Esther's parents had made sure all their children had some sort of physical activity. In her case, they hired a personal trainer for her when she was fourteen. 

Minty popped next to her with a letter in her small hands, "My lady, Minty has gotten a letter for you from the owl post."

Esther stood up and stretched her shrieking muscles. Turning to her loyal house-elf, she took the letter from her, before dismissing her. The Hogwarts crest showed in the dim lighting. Esther felt herself grin with excitement. She rushed into her study and tore open the letter.

With lightning speed, our protagonist wrote a small formal letter and sent it back. She couldn't wait to see Hogwarts. The excitement only grew. It was July first, this meant that she had enough time to take a trip to Gringotts to set up a business venture she had been meaning to start. 

Esther, dressed in emerald robes entered Gringotts in full fashion. In the corner, she noticed Griphook was talking to two very familiar boys. They looked about her age, The shorter one, with short brown hair and a set jawline. The taller one had slightly longer brown hair and allowed it to sweep over his eyes, he had slightly soft features adding to his allure. Griphook had a respectful tone while speaking to the two. Who were these mysterious boys? 

Esther decided to interrupt their conversation by walking over to Griphook. Both boys had stunning ocean blue eyes. Something wasn't right. She was determined to ignore it until she heard a soft whisper. 

"Hannah..?"

The world froze over. Esther stopped and stared into the captivating blue eyes.

"Who are you?" She asked, her voice cold and sharp. 

Something flashed in the taller one's eyes. "Hadrien Black." 

"Harrison Black."

'What... there were no Black heirs other than Sirius right..? unless.... me being in this world must have altered something. These two are reincarnated.... aren't they.'

"Reborn?" She asked bluntly. 

Both boys nodded. 

"We should talk somewhere else." The shorter [Harrison] said blatantly. 

"right....." 

Esther motioned them to follow her before nodding to Griphook and being on her way. she led them to Godrics Hollow, before helping them to their seats. 

"I guess we knew each other?"

Harrison snorted, "We were neighbors Brown. Remember? Adrien and Alex Chase."

Esther almost collapsed at that one. "YOU TWO ARE THOSE DELINQUENTS???" 

Hadrien whacked her on the head, "Don't delinquent us, ur the one who spray-painted 'Ray for president' on the school entrance."

"I did, didn't I," she grinned at the memory, "That was fun though."

Harrison gave her an irritated look as he leaned back, "Yeah sure for you, we were the ones who got in trouble for it."

Esther pouted, "aww come on! I know you loved it."

Harrison rolled his eyes, "I hate you so much."

"Just admit you love me, Adrien."

"You're such an idiot."

Hadrien sighed as he looked at them bicker. The three of them had grown up together and were pretty close. Almost like siblings, so these little arguments were normal at most. Hannah and Adrien were often mistaken for a couple but were in fact the best of friends. These little 'flirty moments' were a way of showing their weird relationship. 

Hadrien decided to break up their bickering. "have you got the Hogwarts letter, Hannah?"

She looked up at him, "Yeah this morning actually, why?"

"This means we're in the same grade Brown," Harrison grinned. 

Esther's eyes shined, "OMG YAYYYY!"

"Did you just de-age or something?" Harrison asked blandly. 

"Shut up Adder-boy." Esther stuck her tongue out at him. 

"Adder WHAT!?" 

Ah yes..... this was going to be fun. Hadrien sighed, already having nightmares of how Hogwarts was going to be. The day went by with the three friends catching up with what they had missed. Esther had given them the keys to the Black Vault and asked how they survived. The twins had been living with their mother, Alicia Davis, a muggle-born witch. They had already gotten their wands and school necessities, however, Esther convinced them to get untraceable wands from knockturn alley. 

The twins agreed, of course, mischief was in their blood. They decided to go together next week to get the wands. Esther had told them of her standing and business ideas, the twins added their own ventures and proposals, soon coming to making a document assuring their partnership. The day ended slightly sadly as Esther refused to let go of Hadrien's shirt as she clung to him. Years of loneliness does that to you. With promises of many future visits, the twins were on their way home, wondering how they were going to explain their late coming to their mother.
