"So, everyone, this is Matthew and his twin sister Emily. They transferred him from Ireland, they're in our year and obviously in Gryffindor" I stood at a table where Lily, Tia, James, Peter, Remus and now Sirius were all sat together. Matt and Em were stood next to me.
"Just call us Matt and Em" they said together grinning.
"Welcome to Hogwarts!" James shouted over the ruckus of the pub.
"Butterbeer?" Sirius offered me and the twins, standing up and offering me his seat next to Lily.
"What's Butterbeer?" They both said together again. It sure was creepy when they did that...
"You've never had Butterbeer?" Sirius and James exclaimed at the same time. Would people please stop doing that.
"Okay. This ones on me" James grinned, going with Sirius up to the counter.
I watched the boys negotiate the crowd of students to arrive at the bar. I slid into the chair Sirius had just left. Matt and Em sat opposite to Lily and I.
"So, Matt, you're from Ireland?" Lily leant flirtatiously across the table and fluttered her eyelashes at him.
"Yeah. We are" Emily cut in stubbornly earning her an angry look from Lily.
"Nice" she said quietly, sliding back into the bottom of her chair.
"What school did you go to before you came here then?" I asked them as Sirius and James arrived and Sirius passed me a butterbeer from the tray he was holding.
"Okay. Try your first ever butterbeer!" James said excitedly, putting a tankard in front of each of them.
Matt looked nervously at the foaming liquid while Em picked up hers and sipped lightly at the white froth floating on the warm brown liquid that filled the rest of the mug.
When Emily took it away from her lips she giggled and said "mmm! It's lovely!" However she had left a thick layer of foam around her lips.
"Hey guys! How are you lot this morning? Oh. Who are you?" Ciaran Finnigan arrived with his friend Mark.
"We're twins" Emily said as Matt had braved drinking the liquid in front of him "I'm Em, he's my brother Matt"
"You're Irish!" Ciaran exclaimed "me too!"
"I could tell" Emily laughed, blue eyes twinkling.
Ciaran look as though he wanted to stay and chat but Mark was muttering and tugging subtly on his sleeve.
"I-I better go...maybe I'll see you back in the common room?" Emily nodded at him.
Everyone waved as the two boys left the pub.
"Don't get into anything yet, please - you know what happened last time"
"Yes! Thank you Matt" she said angrily. Her so-far warm eyes turning cold.
Everyone sat in silence for a bit until Remus spoke up awkwardly. "Would you like us to show you where Gryffindor tower is? I think everyone's finished..."
"Sure" they both said, Emily glaring at Matt as they did. "We'd love to" she finished on her own.
~~~~~ ~~~~~
When we all arrived in the common room I yawned loudly, my eyelids fluttering. I wanted to either go and lie down on the sofa or go upstairs and have a nap however Matt and Em were hinting that I took them on a quick tour around the school before dinner.
I looked at the grandfather clock in the corner which read three thirty. Dinner was at six thirty so, sighing I got up and led them both out of the common room. We went to the library, some of the classrooms, the kitchen (although technically we shouldn't have been there but they needed to experience it in my opinion) before I finally suggested going to meet the rest of our gang for dinner in the Great Hall.
I walked next to Matt, he stood next to Emily in our little line. I chuckled at Emily who was joking around so I didn't even realise when I walked straight into someone, knocking them and myself a few steps back.
"Oh my goodness I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed, brushing my hair out my eyes to see who I had bumped.
"Actually, maybe I'm not so sorry" I said again as I looked up and my eyes met with the cold brown iris' that belonged to Beth.
"Maybe you should watch your fat ass more carefully. When you weigh twice what your boyfriend does, you should be more wary" a malicious smile played on her lips while I felt burning water attempt to show in my eyes.
"Maybe you shouldn't be such a jealous bitch and leave me alone" I said, aiming to walk past her. She stuck out her arm to stop me.
"Wait. I hope you understand that whenever I catch you alone, you're going to pay for breaking me and him up. You'll regret the day you ever made friends with him"
I smiled slightly "can't wait" I told her, grabbing Emily and Matt "oh, say hello to Beth here - you know how some schools have a... Pet idiot? Yeah, she's ours"
Together we walked off, me feeling slightly satisfied that I had left the angry girl speechless on the staircase.
Matt was looking shocked at how catty I had suddenly turned and a huge grin was plastered on Emily's face.
"Woo! You go girl!" She shouted, punching the air.
"What the hell was all that about?" Matt said weakly as we pushed open. The enormous doors leading to the Great Hall.
"Basically, her name is Beth and she dated Sirius for about 5 or 6 months. I don't know really and then they had an argument about how she thought Sirius was closer to me and she kind of damaged my head by being an idiot and then told Sirius to go date me and that they were through... Oh and then she got really jealous that Sirius actually took her advice and wants him back"
I said all this very quickly. Emily seemed to understand as she nodded along with what I was saying making the right faces, and noises at the right times. Matt on the other hand stared blankly and gave a long slow nod before dropping into a seat opposite Sirius and next to James. I sat in the space between Sirius and Lily. Sirius and James were talking about Quidditch (Matt quickly joined in saying he loved beating) Lily and Tia were discussing the previous night very quietly while Remus blushed and kept shouting for them to speak quieter.
I exchanged in some random conversation with the only unoccupied member of the gang which was Emily. We spoke about school and all other kinds of crap. She was really funny and kind, I knew that we were going to be firm friends.
I was so busy chatting in fact that I didn't notice all three boys looking eagerly at me as I sipped from my full goblet of pumpkin juice.
"What have you done?" I asked knowingly, watching as they went from quiet giggles to peels of deafening laughter.
"Hair" Sirius choked out, pulling a long strand round from my back and putting it between my fingers.
It was bright, bubblegum pink.
"I am going to kill you" I growled, dropping my fork with a clatter onto my empty plate. Sirius quickly pulled out his wand and turned my hair brown again. I smiled at him thankfully- this way nobody had to get hurt. He had clearly leant a lot from being my friend.
James snorted and winked at Sirius. I sighed knowing that as Professor Mcgonogall always said 'boys will be boys'...
