A Friend... Maybe?

[Missy Todd]

Missy walked into Brightstone Village wondering what she was going to do. She was almost ready to head off to Hogwarts New Zealand. She just needed a few extra books. Missy was most excited about making potions. She had always taken an interest in Potions. It was all she talked about when she was a young child. Now she was more mature. Soon she will be able to prove that she was skilled in the subject. Missy sat on a bench and crossed her legs. She let the sun beat down on her fair skin. The heat was suddenly gone and a shadow loomed over her. "Will you move out of my way?" she demanded rudely.

 

[Epiphany Bones]

It was a particualy warm day in winter so Epiphany was wearing a blue dress with white polka-dots. The filly socks in her white neat blue Mary Janes matched the dress perfectly but then it was rare for Epiphany to walk out the house without looking her absolute best. As she walked down Brightstone trying to see what she needed next for her school she heard the words 'will you move out of my way?' the tone of the words where what had brought over her attention. "I think what she means is that she would be thrilled the shreds if you move." Epiphany said brightly to the boy who was standing over the reading girl. This was not a request though. Epiphany dropped something on the ground from her pocket slightly and slowly a great black blob of ooze started to chase the boy. "Don't worry the burns will only hurt for a second." She said her voice rising an octave at the end. Epiphany had done that because she had been bored. This girl could be someone interesting or someone she wanted to totally ignore but it was too early to decide that.

Missy looked on with interest as the girl came over and defended her. Then she watched a a black blob of ooze chased the boy away. Missy eyed the girl. She seemed to dress nice. She guessed that she was worth getting to know. Most of the time Missy dressed to impress, but today was not one of those days. She wore black pants, a white shirts, and combat boots. She had a feeling she would regret it later. "Is there a reason you did that?" Missy asked curiously. Not that Missy did not appreciate the girl's generosity, but there was no reason for the girl to help her out. Missy had done nothing for her, and she was likely not ever going to. Using her thumb to keep her place Missy closed her book. She looked at the girl. She searched her eyes, body language, and facial expression. What was her reason?

 

[Epiphany Bones]

Epiphany tossed dark brown curls over her shoulder. "Who said I did anything?" She said giving the girl a look. She cracked a girn at her afterwards. "I'm joking. I was bored so I wanted to see what that thing did. I found it in one of my aunt's storage cupboards." She said giggling into her hand. She often stoll stuff from her aunt or others that where around that had good expiraments. No one kept weapons around which upset her but she had taken Luthor's pocket knife on more than on occasion. She did it whenever he became inratated with her. "Can I ask who you are or is that showing too much braverisem? She asked, sparkly as ever.

 

[Missy Todd]

Missy just shrugged. "I was just curious because I would not have done the same for you." she told the girl honestly. For a moment she was fooled by the girl's joke. "That thing does not seem like something one would just find, now does it?" Missy smirked. Another part of her was serious. Who would be stupid enough to leave something like that black ooze lying around? Missy decided to just leave it alone. "Missy is what you may have the pleasure of calling me. What shall I call you?" she opened her book back up. Missy was not skilled at keeping conversation. If the girl was interested she would keep talking to her.

 

[Epiphany Bones]

Epiphany sat down and crossed her legs at the ankle. "Then you get to call me Epiphany. Named after the eureka moment that one gets when one get's an idea." She said her smile wide. She also knew it was the name of a religions holiday but she wasn't about to mention that. Epiphany looked at her finger nails then looked put at Missy. "Lets stick with the story that I found it ok? I think I'm a little too young and too... cute for it to have happened any other way." She said looking at the girl pointedly. If anyone would know what she was talking about it would be a girl who seemed to have gotten everything she wanted from her family without complaint.

 

[Missy Todd]

Missy nodded. "Your parents are smart to name you something like that. It boosts your confidence." she complimented Epiphany. Unfortunately, her parents had named her Missette. What kind of a name was that? She hoped she was the only Missette in the world because anyone that shared her name was screwed. Missy shrugged. She did not think it was that big of a deal. She stole things from her mother and brother all the time. She would never take from her father though. He spoiled her to death. She wanted to keep that relationship with him. "Have you ever tried to brew a Polyjuice potion?" she asked Epiphany. She looked at Epiphany. By how she was dressed Missy had guessed she had not, but judging a book by it's cover was something she tried not to do. She had tried brewing one several times with her older brother, Spencer, all six times failing.

 

[Epiphany Bones]

Epiphany shrugged. "My dad said my mom gave me the name before she died. Dad also said that by brothers where the best thing that ever happened to him and they're both dumb as posts so that's how much I trust his judgement." She said rolling her eyes some. Epiphany had not love for the family she once had. Her family was Auntie Lolita and to some degree Luthor. "Oh I am well versed in thyory of making the Polyjuce potion but I haven't been allowed into my Auntie's potions room since I got caught trying to set free the Chimera she was trying to make. Well it wasn't me who got caught but he ruined it for the both of us." She said with a huff. She had set up Luthor by telling him that he wasn't brave enough to go up and let the chimera free so he could pet it. Before he could get the lock open Lolita had come in. Epiphany had left him to face the music alone but when she tried to break into that potions room again it had been magically sealed much to Epiphany's dismay.

 

[Missy Todd]

Missy nodded. She totally understood what Epiphany was talking about. "I have two brothers. A older one and a twin. I'm older by 30 seconds though. It's hard to even tell we are twins. We look nothing alike." she told Epiphany and tossed her hair over her shoulder. When her twin, Rafael, even got an acceptance letter she was surprised. Before he had not shown any signs of being a wizard. For Missy glass would always break and food would explode. Her father always favored her over Spencer and Rafael. Her mother was always on Spencer's side. Her twin was forever alone. "Would you like to make one with me sometime?" she asked. This was Missy's way of offering friendship. She thought Epiphany was interesting from what she had heard about her. "Do you plan on going to Hogwarts New Zealand?" she asked.

 

[Epiphany Bones]

Epiphany's pitch black eyes brightened at these words. "Yes and oh my goodness yes. I've had my name down for Hogwarts New Zealand ever since my sister brought me down to this part of New Zealand. As for Polyjuce I think that not only would it be helpful so that the teachers know where the real talents lie but we can give some of our competition a little trouble while we're at it." She with a wide grin on her face. Epiphany was already planning to how she was going to make nearly everyone that mattered at Hogwarts love her. She needed the best grades and the best recommendations from the teachers if she was going to make something great of herself. This of course involved making a few people look bad, something which Epiphany was more than willing to do.

 

[Missy Todd]

Missy closed her book. "I am sure by the time we're done with them they'll be broken, and they will know who to fear." Missy switched legs. She was going to show the world how powerful she could become. She would do anything to get power. She had to have connections first. No one had power without connections. "You must already have an idea on targets?" she asked raising an eyebrow.

 

[Epiphany Bones]

Epiphany twirled one loose curl as she thought. "Gyffendors are a clear choice but I will need to get to know some first. Hufflpuff will be easy enough to eradicate even though it may need a bit of planning. My sister was a Ravenclaw I will feel a bit guilty about that one. She said not meaning it at all. Guilt was not something the Epiphany had felt in a long time. Ther was no reason to regret things when you did exactly as you wanted. Epiphany placed her hands on her lap and smiled. "But of course good girls don't plan things like this, good girls go shopping for clothes and sweets. Want to join me in Honeydukes? I love to raid their pick n' mix tray." She said pointedly as she saw someone that was getting a little too close to their conversation. When she learned more magic she would teach those that liked to drop ease a lesson though there was no equal to Epiphany when it came to snooping.

 

[Missy Todd]

Missy stood up. She held her book close to her chest. " Of course not. Let's go." she smiled. 'We can talk more there.' she thought in her head. Missy turned to looked briefly at the person that Epiphany had spotted inching close to them. She then looked back at Epiphany. Missy held her arm out so Epiphany could hook arms with her. "There chocolate truffles are to die for!" she told Epiphany. Missy loved chocolate. She would eat it anytime of the day. Rafael on the other hand hated chocolate. He did not matter to Missy though. She believed her brother wasn't capable of being successful in anything. He was strange, and on top of that her was a loner. He was always looking at things, observing them. It made Missy ashamed to be his sister.
