It was a crisp afternoon, and my sister and I decided to go with all of our friends down to Diagon Alley... Maybe not the smartest decision, but why not!

My friend group has always been known to be a weird bunch. We're a very diverse group of friends when it comes to our personalities (and houses). I hang out with Luna, who's in Ravenclaw, Ginny, who's in Gryffindor, Hermione, who's in Gryffindor, and Pansy (my sister), who's in Slytherin. I'm not entirely sure how we all assemble because we're all totally different people, raised totally differently, with totally different mindsets, but it works. It just kind of happened one day at a quidditch match. Ginny wasn't playing, and we all just started talking which eventually led to us going to the after-party of the match, and we've been best friends ever since

The good thing about having a twin sister is the fact that you have a built-in best friend, Pany and I have been inseparable since birth. We shared a room until we were 11, and then, we went to Hogwarts both got into Slytherin and still shared a room. Sadly, our parents made us move into separate bedrooms for when we're home because we're "too grown for that".

Anyways, we were all walking around Diagon Alley looking through the shops and watching all the weirdos either judge us or look at us like we were meat. We all eventually stopped to grab a drink because we'd been walking for almost an hour. We were gathering our stuff and were about to start looking around again when the weirdest thing happened... 

A lady came up to us and grabbed both of my hands. I was in too much shock to pull away. She started talking, and her voice matched her clammy, cold hands.

"You poor, deal child! You're being followed by the man of death, the grim reaper, himself!" she wailed.

"What?" my eyes widened.

"The man in black haunts you. You don't know him yet, but he knows you. He's near even now! He comes from great power, money, and fame! Blood will fall on his hands, but never yours; only the ones who have wronged you. A sudden decision will be asked of you! Say yes to the man all dressed in black," and with that, she shuffled away.

"So... am I going to fall in love or die? Personally, I'm ok with both!" I laughed.

About an hour later, we were getting ready to head back home, and I had pushed that "fortune" to the back of my mind.

As we were walking to our Apparition point, these 2 guys went around us. My eyes were immediately drawn to the one on the right. He was tall, handsome, and wearing a well-fitted suit. The only weird thing about this was I was looking at him while he was looking at me. I kept a poker face, and he looked like the type of guy that would too except he didn't. He looked at me with such... adoration.
