Double Trouble

Twins Times Two

"So now what?" Raine asked staring at the train ahead of us.

"I guess we just follow the crowd..." I said starting forward.

"I guess we do." She replied following me through the mass of muggles and wizards alike.  the only way you could tell if someone was a witch or wizard was by their clothing, but even then, some of us magic-folk still knew how to look normal. But then again there were a few of the eccentric ones that liked to confuse the muggles by wearing thick robes in the middle of summer. I guess that's one way to expose the Wizarding World. Oh well.

"I think we sit our bags here." Raine said pulling me from my thoughts. I looked over to see a man storing luggage under the train. "Let's go." She said dragging me towards the train. We dropped off our luggage, and headed towards the entrance.

"Tickets? Tickets please!" The man at the top of the metal stairs said for what seemed like the billionth time. "Come along, we haven't got all day." He said holding his hand out. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the tickets. "Thank you. Move along." He said after punching holes in the two of them.

"Jeez that guy could not have been any more monotone." I said giving Raine a worried look.

"Everywhere is full. What if we can't find seats?" She said looking towards me. "Maybe we better split up..." I gave her a confused look. "Then again, maybe not... I don't want to lose you."
"C'mon Raine, it's a train, not Ikea." I laughed. " You go that way, and I'll take this way. If I find somewhere, I'll save us two seats and then come look for you." I said walking away.

"Okay, I suppose that will work."
She sighed and made her way towards the front of the train.

*******************************************Making my way towards the back of the train, I couldn't believe how long it was. Seriously. I felt like I'd been walking forever, and I still couldn't find an empty car. Maybe I should just go find Raine... I looked towards the ground. She probably found people to sit with, she probably just can't find me. We shouldn't have even split up. Apparently during my little rant, I had been picking up speed as I walked, and just as I looked up, I ran straight into a tall figure.

" Hey! Watch where you're going." They said. I blushed. I'm not even at the school, and I'm already messing up. Pretty much sums up my life.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." I said looking at him. He was tall and a ginger.  "I was trying to find a place to sit, and I haven't had much luck."

"It's alright." He said sternly, " but you need to be more careful. You're a first year aren't you?" He asked. I nodded my head. "Alright, follow me. I'll find you a seat." He said turning around. I trailed behind him. "I'm Percy by the way. I'm a Prefect." He said showing me his badge.

"I'm Laney." I said as he came to a stop.

"This is it!" He said. "Wait here, I need to speak to them first. Sometimes they don't make the best first impression I'm afraid." He said sliding into the car.

After a few moments of arguing, he emerged looking quite flustered. He tried to straighten himself out, but his face was still bright red. "I apologize. Fred and George, for some unknown reason, have taken up pranking as a hobby." He said with an awkward laugh, the tips of his ears still as red as a tomato. Two bright red heads popped out of the car.

"Percy's just angry because his underwear are too tight." The one on the left said.

"And he's a little shocked that we are letting you in." Said the one on the right. Both of them looked at each other grinning ear to ear.
