(gotta love lana del rey)

Suddenly loud screaming and things being tossed in a untimely manner could be heard upstairs by the two children who were simply just trying to enjoy their day, which was going well until just a few seconds ago.

"Are they fighting again?" The small girl squeaked looking over to her brother who was slowly making his way towards the wide open door, only to close it and run right back beside his confused sister. "Yeah, probably." the boy answered back while shrugging it off.

For the whole eleven years of the twins life they had to deal with off and on fighting between their 'parents' though they didnt think of them as such, and other stupid family members who could come just to leave. They never really made sense of it, not yet at least. And of course the day they were supposed to be going to hogwarts and everything was going so well, they're parents start fighting the second they step into their 'home' thats what most people could call it. But to them, this was no 'home' a house yes, but never a home, not to them.

Estella sighed while standing up with her things, "Well I'm all packed, are you ready to go?" she asked while rolling a soft sad sigh off her lips "Yeah yeah, should we wait this one out or just go when theyre not looking?" he asked while titling his head with tired eyes, "I'm not sure how long this one will last, sounds kinda bad..." she paused before continuing, "but if we just go, they might get mad! And if they see us we'll definitely be in trouble, and also aren't they supposed to take us or something?" Lorenzo shook his head softly before standing up along with her. "No no, they won't care to take us or not, lets just go and take our chances. We can't be late for this." He answered while turning their doorknob slowly and shakily, Estella just nodded and followed him the whole way only praying they wouldn't get caught.

"See, we're fine. Now we just gotta get our wands and stuff, cmon!" he left a attempted half smile to his sister who seemed to still be very worrisome about everything.
"Dude, I'm still not so sure..." she began complaining as they walked trying to figure out where to even go. "Trust me it'll be fine, just stop worrying yourself." The girl huffed in response as they continued on.

Finally finding their way to diagon ally and getting their wands you could say was easier than expected, until Estella kept saying that she swore she kept seeing their mom almost everywhere. Lorenzo assured her it was just nerves and she was seeing things.
She didn't really believe him, she just wanted to get everything and get to hogwarts, where she could settle down and relax finally.
After getting their pets, wands, and everything that they needed and didn't need, they went off to find the train.

"Where even do we find this bloody thing! This is like so much work." Enzo spat while pacing around not even daring to ask any muggles if they knew anything. "Can't we just ask someone?" Estella asked while rolling her eyes and crossing her arms as if in one manner.
"No I think its here come on."
Eventually after giving in and asking, they finally found themselves on the train and on their way to hogwarts, without even being caught.

"See, I told you everything would be fine! And now look were on the way to hogwarts without mom or dad at all, told you it would work out." Enzo teased while gently giving her a small shove as she scoffed it off.
And before they knew it, they were here.
Hogwarts.

"FUCK!"

A loud piercing scream that could probably be heard across the whole castle even if it wasnt for the fact that it came from basically the most secluded area of the castle.

"Shit- oh my god." Estella rushed and paced around attempting to pick up broken pieces of shattered potions bottles and such, she sighed as she cleaned up just hoping no one would catch her.
"One calming draught and I can't even do that! What is wrong with me today. Usually this would be about as easy as...ugh I cant even think of anything!" The girl furiously headed back to the cabinets after cleaning up, determined to finish this for her potions class with Snape. She was going so good this year and had aced just about every class she was in, but she almost studied herself to death practically, focusing on her classes a bit too much. But really she had to blame it on her brother and his stupid slytherin friends convincing her to skip classes and sneak away every now and then, completely distracting her from her studies. Now she was almost behind, and only had so much time to get back on track.
