Ravenclaw's Secret

1 ~ Pandora

"Lysander! Lysander!" Luna shouted. Pandora sighed - of course her twin brother was no where to be found five minutes before the train had to leave.

As her mother's shouting became hoarse, Pandora noticed the blonde hair and bright blue eyes that belonged to her other half. Lysander had a smirk on his face - clearly oblivious to the fact that he had held up everyone. He strolled over casually and nodded at his twin sister and mother.
"What's up?" The boy said, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

Pandora looked at her mother to see Luna's eyes flaming - she was about to explode.
"Get on that train before I change my mind" The mother managed to say through gritted teeth, glaring at her son. Lysander shrugged and waved as he climbed onto the train
"See ya at Christmas" He said as he disappeared into a compartment.

Luna turned to her daughter, her face softened with a bright smile. She pulled Pandora into a tight hug.
"Watch your brother" The mother said "I know you have always been better behaved - your father and I will miss you"
She released Pandora, her eyes swelling with tears.
"I love you mum" Pandora said with a smile
"I love you too" Luna replied
Pandora hugged her mother again quickly before jumping onto the train. The door shut and she waved through the window as the Hogwarts Express left the station.

Once Luna and the other parents were out of sight, Pandora began the hunt to find her misbehaved twin. As most of the students had already found their seats, the witch found her brother easily. He was sat in a compartment with another girl and boy who introduced themselves as Rose Granger Weasley and Teddy Lupin.
"Pandora Lovegood" Pandora responded with a smile, sitting down next to Rose.

Pandora glared at her brother sat opposite, shaking her head.
"Mum isn't happy with you. You know she gets worried when you wander off" She hissed at him.
"Just because you're a goody-two-shoes" Lysander retorted, flicking his bedhead hair. Pandora sighed and looked at Rose.
"Brothers" She said, rolling her eyes at the girl.
"Tell me about it" Replied the fiery girl "I have a little brother - Hugo. Cute but annoying as ever."

Their time on the Hogwarts train seemed to fly by - the two girls became friends almost instantly and they chatted the entire time while snacking on pumpkin pasties and chocolate frogs (courtesy of Pandora). Their conversation only interrupted once by Lysander's victorious yells after he finally beat Teddy at a game of Wizards' Top Trumps. Before they knew it, they had changed into their school robes and the train squealed along the tracks as it came to a stop...
