Under the Lilac Tree {Sirius Black}

The Perfect Match

As Cleo walked down the isle on the Hogwarts Express, she could feel a warm fuzzy feeling bubble inside her, slowly rising higher and higher as the thought of Hogwarts pondered her mind. Cleo and Charlie have been only the best of twins since birth, and where ecstatic about undergoing their school experience together. Walking down the long train was getting exhausting, so she finally gave up on finding a compartment of her own and pulled her brother into the closest one. One with four boys in it.

One was medium height with dark hair. His round classes sat askew on his small nose, but it accompanied his messy hair. The second was shorter, but still taller than herself, with caramel hair and a ight pink scratch across the bridge of his nose. The third was rather chubby, and had a mousy physique. And the last one was the same height as the first, and he had long hair that was a bit shaggy and crazy, which matched the mischievous look in his eyes.

"Mind if we sit with you?" Cleo asked no one in particular.

"Not at all." said the boy with the caramel hair, as he gestured to an empty space on the bench. Cleo walked in with Charlie in tow, and sat next to the boy with the crazy hair. She put down her backpack and inspected each of the boys before she spoke.

"My name is Cleo by the way, Cleo Brooks. And this is my brother Charlie."

"Nice to meet you Cleo and Charlie, this is James Potter," The boy with the shaggy hair pointed to the kid with glasses who was supposedly James. "Remus Lupin," Then proceeded to point to the boy with the scratch on his face. "Peter Pettigrew," then to the plump boy. "And I'm Sirius, Sirius Black." He said with a sly grin etched upon his lips, seeming very proud to remember all of there names.

"Hi" Cleo said as she waved to the boys, and then elbowed her brother in the ribs.

"Hi" Charlie said, more shy than Cleo. Then there was an awkward silence.

"Are you all in your first year?" Cleo asked trying to lessen the tension.

"Yeah, you?" James asked.

"Yeah" replied Cleo, releasing a breath of relief. Then there was an awkward silence, again.

"So. . . are you two... twins?" Remus asked.

"Ya, Identical. People say we look alike, but to be honest i don't see it."

"Neither do I" Charlie said

"I do" all the boys said at once.

"Your nose is the same" said James

"Your freckles are the same" said Sirius

"Your eyes" James

"Your smile smile" Sirius

"Your hair is the same" said James.

"No it's not." Remus butted in.

"Huh?" James grunted.

"Their hair, It's not the same. Cleo it more strawberry blond, and Charlie is more dirty blond. Honestly there's a difference, James." He said, briefly looking up from his book.

"I swear," James said. "I've known this kid only a few hours and he had already become my personal life coach. He told me I was tying my shoes the wrong way, I was , and he got me to read this book."

"Wow, James. You read, I'm impressed." Sirius said sincerely, patting James on the back.

"I know, right?" James said, voice full of pride.

"Okay then..." Cleo said looking from the two to Remus.

"What are you reading?" She asked him, peering over to get a look at the book.
