Chapter 2

oOo

Lily's gruff mood only improved when she'd entered the lively dining hall. At the Gryffindor table, Tsubaki was seated at her side, while she chatted with some of her other housemates. Lucy was seated further down along with the boys arguing over what they'd be having for supper.

From the corner of her eye Lily found dirty blonde head of hair that was gelled rather than touseled, sitting at the Ravenclaw table, he was laughing at something a sixth year was saying. Unlike Lysander, Lorcan had his mother's light brown eyes and his father's innate charisma. As she remembered, when they were younger Lorcan had always been the brainy and outgoing one, while Lysander had been more of the shy one around people he didn't know. He was socially withdrawn even from a young age and Lily recalled it'd taken him weeks to even agree to play hide and seek with Tsubaki, Lorcan and her older cousins.

It was only when Lily had caught him off-guard eating chocolate frogs did he slightly begin opening up to her. Like, Lily, he'd always found wizard history fascinating so he collected the chocolate frog cards of mysterious wizards and infamous witches. Sometimes they'd play I-Declare-Frogs using the cards, they'd draw a card from the deck and whoever won four out of four times owed that person a chocolate frog.

Of course, Lily, who was gifted with unluckiness still had a running tab from the amount of times Lysander beat her at the game.

Lily snapped out of her reminiscing when she heard her headmaster's voice silence the clapping crowd. The first years who had just finished being sorted still had looks of anxiousness drawn on their faces. Hogwarts' current headmaster, Professor Grimswald was an elderly man with eyes as dark as night, shaggy brown hair and an untamed bear longer than Dumbedore's. Contrary to his appearance he was a rather impartial headmaster.

"As you've all know, this year we've been graced with the presence of another two additions to our school. Ladies and gentleman give a round of applause for the Scamander twins," Grimswald said, the students erupted into an ear-splitting applause.

"Before we proceed to beginning our supper, I'd like to ask both boys to come up to the sorting hat when their names are called," he continued, "Lorcan Scamander."

Lorcan got up and eyes followed him as he walked to the three-legged stool. He sat on it, which was a funny sight in Lily's opinion because of his notable height. He placed the hat on his head on the Sorting Hat barely touched his head when it called out "Ravenclaw."

The students gave another polite but short a round of applause before Professor Grimswald called out, "Lysander Scamander."

Lysander appeared from the very end of the Slytherin table and walked up to the stool. He didn't even look his brother in the face when they passed each other on his way there. But no one seemed to notice that except Tsubaki and Lily. He sat down on the stool and put the worn out hat on his head. His eyes met Lily's curious ones.

"Hmm, well you are an interesting one. Definitely not Hufflepuff. Slytherin seems promising but oh, interesting, alas, Gryffindor!" the hat exclaimed. Although, there wasn't as much applause from the crowd as there was for Lorcan , Lily assumed it was because he was placed in Gryffindor, when the hat had clearly stated that Slytherin would be promising for him.
