The Potter Twins • Pt. 1

"This is a terrible idea, Daire!" Harry threw his hands up in defeat.

(Her name is pronounced like 'dare')

"But I like him, Harry! Besides, it's not like I have a better option!"

"Don't you even think about it. He's vile, and cruel, just like his father!"

"I'm going to find him! And I'm going to ask him to be my date for the Yule Ball!"

Daire stormed out of the common room, furious at Harry. Strolling down the halls, she looked for a certain crush of hers.

When she saw him, butterflies entered her stomach and she started to shake.

She ran up to him, with his grey-blue eyes and platinum blonde hair. She looked at herself, being the spitting image of her mother, Lily, except for her unusual olive hazel eyes. She brushed her dark scarlet hair out of her eyes and tapped Draco on the shoulder.

"D-Draco? Can I have a word with you please? In private?"

He nodded off Blaise and Goyle, and smirked.

"What do you want, Potter?"

"I was, wondering if, uhm, you wanted to go to the ball with me..."

Draco laughed, and brushed his hand against her jawline.

"Now where did you ever think that I'd want to go to the ball, with someone like you?"

"No, no, I just, it was a stupid question I'm sorry I bothered you, I'll-I'll be going now." She stuttered out, turning on her heel before Draco saw her eyes turn blue, and her skin go freakishly paler than normal. The tears escaped her eyes, and she was running down the halls, not paying attention to the wavy haired girl who she ran into.

"I'm so sorry, my bad, I, uhm-"

"Daire? It's me, Hermione."

Daire looked up to her friend, with puffy eyes, and black stained tears down her cheeks.

"Merlin's beard Daire, what happened?!"

She wrapped the crying girl in her arms, feeling Daire shake as she hugged her.

"Let's get you back to the common room, the fire should calm you. Fred and George just got some butterbeer from the Three Broomsticks."

Hermione walked Daire back up, eventually reaching the Fat Lady.

"Nevis Capiron." She spoke, loud and clear. The portrait opened and the pair walked in.

Harry and Ron were arguing.

"Both of you, stop it! You're only going to upset her further!" Hermione yelled.

"Who?" Harry asked.

"Who you asked me to look for."

"Yeah, the other Potter. Great. I knew she was trouble."

"Excuse me?"

"Your sister's a tease too, you know! I've never seen anyone more bloody prancy than 'er!"

Daire came out from behind Hermione in sobs, running to the girls' dormitory but not before slamming into Harry.

She collapsed into his embrace and led her to the door.

"C'mon Daire, we've got better places to be."

Harry's POV

"I take it things didn't go well with asking Draco out..."

"You were right. I hate it that you're always right."
