The twin of Lily Evans

Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of these characters, they belong to J.K.R, only my oc's are mine. and the plot ig... xM

Sage's POV:

The sky was darkening and we all changed into our robes. Peter had joined us halfway through our plotting, but I kept getting bad vibes from him. I ignored them and laughed as Sirius made really stupid puns. I still didn't get they're nicknames though.  The train slowed down as we reached Hogsmeade and we all hopped off. We made our way to the carriages  that were pulled by nothing, although I did suspect thestrals were at work, and joked all the way until the gates. Then everyone in our carriage went silent, still and depressed. This was STAGE 1 of prank#1 of the year. The marauders were always rowdy, loud and cheerful. Now it seemed as though the were calm, collected, quiet and...sad. 

Prof. McGonagall (aka Minnie)'s POV:

As the older students walked into the room, every single teacher knew something was wrong. It was quieter than usual. I scanned the room searching for the four troublemakers and did a double take. They were sitting at the Gryffindor table, looking down at their laps. They weren't laughing. Or even smiling. They looked downright depressed. I noticed the new student that still needed to be sorted sitting near them with a look of wonder on her face. I strode over to her and the Marauders.

"Excuse me, Ms Sage Evans, I just have to inform you that you will be sorted before all the first years, once they enter the hall." I said and the girl smiled at me sweetly.
"Of course Ma'am. Understood." I turned to the four silent boys and cleared my throat. They looked up at me and Sirius said calmly in a tired voice,
"Is something wrong Professor?" I was shocked. Professor?! PROFESSOR!!! Not Minnie? I changed my face from surprise to a, hopefully, neutral mask. Sure, I told them to call me Professor, but I couldn't help but feel a little sad. So I just replied with a swift,
"No, nothing's wrong Mr Black. Welcome back to Hogwarts." I turned and left the hall to collect the first years. That was so...bizarre.

Lily's POV:

I hadn't heard a single confession of love from that Potter! Ugh. I looked around the great hall, but then I heard Marlene gasp. "LILY!" she exclaimed and I turned to her. She pointed to the group of people sitting a few seats up and my eyes widened. It was...Potter and his friends. They looked plain depressed. What happened? Eh, whatever. Then I saw my sister sitting near them. "Wow. Didn't know they knew how to be quiet." I shrugged and Marlene hummed in agreement. "Who is that pretty girl sitting near them? She seems nice." Alice said, smiling  and I scowled. "That's Sage. My twin. We don't get along. She went to Beauxbatons for six years." "Oh..." Alice mumbled. I shrugged and watched the doors of the great hall open. Professor McGonagall entered, followed by a whole load of first years. Oh boy...these kids already look annoying. 

Sage's POV:

After McGonagall left the hall, I turned and whispered a small, "That was perfect!" to the boys and their lips all twitched into a one-second smirk and then back to the pensive masks.
"I feel a little guilty though..." Sirius sighed.
"I mean, when I called her Professor, she went from shocked to sad, but she tried to hide it with a neutral face. I think she liked being called Minnie." he whispered. Anyone other than the trio+girl wouldn't have heard anything or noticed his lips moving due to his hair. 

The doors opened and the firsties + Minnie entered the hall. The other chattering students fell silent. McGonagall cleared her throat and called me up. I stood and strode confidently and gracefully to the stool. I remembered my posture for once. I sat on the stool and a small voice echoed in my mind. 

"Hmm...strange....I haven't sung my song yet and you're too old to be a first year..." 

"I'm a transfer student. Seventh year."

"Ahh...Sage hmm? Evans. I didn't like sorting your sister. She was such an OBVIOUS Slytherin and I kept telling her that, but she insisted that she HAD to be in Gryffindor so that she could remain a 'perfect' girl...You though...You're a Gryffindor through and through, although....you would make an excellent Ravenclaw. You may choose."

"As fun as being a Ravenclaw sounds, I would prefer to be a Gryffindor. I've already made friends there and it would annoy my sister to no end." I smirked and the Hat chuckled.

"Very well... GRYFFINDOR!!!!" the hat shouted out and I removed it. The table exploded with applause. Except Lily and the quartet. Lily was scowling at her plate and the quartet were clapping unenthusiastically. I could tell by they're posture that they would be cheering the loudest if it weren't for the prank. The  d e d i c a t i o n   these boys had was INSANE.

I sat back down and the hat sang its song. The sorting continued and Headmaster Dumbledore made his opening speech. Suddenly the dishes were full of the most delicious looking food I'd ever seen. I took out a plastic zip-lock bag and filled it with food and snacks for the boys. They weren't going to eat in the hall. 

So far, the prank was going perfectly. Oh...what would tomorrow bring...
