Hearts are Blind (Severus Snape X OC)

Clover, Snape & Sorting

"Aiii!" Lucinda covered her ears to block out the squeal of a boy who'd just thrown himself into their compartment. He was extremely tall and had a mohawk that was pure, silvery white.

He looked straight at Lucinda and squealed again. "Aiii, it's true! Look at you!" the boy gasped. "And you're so cute!"

Lucinda felt herself blushing. Who was this guy? And how did he already know who she was? He had on the craziest outfit she'd ever seen: red, leather pants that had holes all up the sides of them, black stilettos (which must have given him at least four or five more inches, so that the tips of his mohawk brushed the compartment ceiling), a black shirt that was three sizes too small for him (the bottom barely reaching his navel), and his ears were each pierced seven or eight times, with tiny, silver loops through each one.

Lucinda looked unbelievingly at Aurora. She had her face in her hands, shaking her head back and forth. Lucinda looked back at the white-haired boy again.

"Who are you?" she asked. The boy put a hand dramatically to his chest and threw his head back in remote shock.

"Ai! She doesn't know who I am!" he cried. Then he bent down into a low bow and looked up at her with his golden eyes sparkling.

"My name... is Clover Borealis."

Lucinda looked from Clover to Aurora and then back again.

"What? You guys are brother and sister?"

Aurora nodded in response, her hands still covering her face.

"Yes, we are," said Clover, as he sat down beside Aurora and continued to look at Lucinda. "And you, my little flower," he said seriously. "Look absolutely divine." Lucinda's face was now a deep scarlet.

"Um. Thank you," she replied quietly and looked at Aurora again, who was now looking at her brother's ensemble with a horrified face.

"What are you wearing?" she blurted. Clover half ignored her, mumbling, "What I always wear," and then continued to stare at Lucinda, resting his chin on the palms of his hands.

"Yeah, but to Hogwarts?" she continued.

Clover finally looked at his sister, but with an incredible amount of annoyance "I am going to change before we get there, drama queen!"

Aurora gasped and flicked Clover smartly on the nose with her finger.

"Hey!" he said and flicked her forehead in reply. Before they started flicking body parts off, Lucinda cut it.

"So, how far apart are you guys in age?" They both stopped flicking, abruptly, and stared at her in awe.

"What?" said Lucinda.

"Isn't it obvious?" said Aurora, sincerely astounded at how dim Lucinda really could be. Lucinda looked from one sibling to the other.

"Isn't what obvious?" she asked.

"You dumb-dumb," Clover said, giggling. Then he smooshed his sister's face against his own and grinned broadly. "We're twins!"

"Oh!" exclaimed Lucinda. "I'm sorry! I don't know why I didn't realize it before..."

They were practically identical; both had porcelain faces with naturally blushed cheeks and perfectly curved lips. The arch of their silver eyebrows, the shine of their hair, the sparkle in their eyes; all the same... Lucinda found herself craving to trace the boy's delicate jaw line and continue across his smooth, pink lips, the bridge of his perfectly sloped nose, and over his beautifully symmetrical eyebrows... And his eyes. His eyes were like golden fire, burning into her whole being. Flakes of honey-colored dust seemed to flutter down his cheeks each time that he blinked. He was very beautiful. Hypnotizingly beautiful. Looking at him almost mage her ache inside.
