First Encounter

[Bituin San Buenaventura]

Bituin was a normally quiet girl, she wasn't as rude as her older sister. Many people mistake her sister and her as being twins and being the same type of person. However it couldn't be ever more different. Bituin was born ten months after her older sister, however their genes make them appear like they are twins. The one difference that is truly visible by the eye is the scar on Bituin's foot left there by her older sister when they were younger. Going into her third year at Hogwarts the girl realized she hadn't really made many friends in the castle. A few here and there for sure but not many, which was okay with her. The young teen girl didn't enjoy large crowds and having less friends meant less people for Josefina to harass.

Making her way into the Student Lounge the girl picked a relatively quiet corner to set up on one of the larger tables to do some homework. Most would be surprised to see a Ravenclaw not doing work in the Common Room but the girl found the Common Room to be too quiet for her tastes, it was easy to focus on something when there was something else she had to block from her mind. Glancing around she didn't see anyone she recognized, of course that wasn't hard considering she really did not know that many people. Bituin did not even pay attention in her classes and recognized any of her classmates, which would be the third years. Beginning her work the girl worked quietly alone till it was nearly finished. She was stuck on a problem and so sitting back in her seat she wondered if anyone in the room could help her. She decided to wait till she was back in the Common Room to ask one of the older Ravenclaw students rather than bother one of the students here.

 

[Indiana Night]

Indiana hadn't been around the castle in a long time. She couldn't even remember the last time she hung around the Student Lounge. Leaving the Gryffindor Common Room she headed down the stairs to the forth floor, three floors down. She smiled at those she recognized and were friends with. The young girl was a friendly one and had many friends within her year and the years that were closest to her. She wasn't very good at talking with older students however and tended to shy away from them, despite having siblings who were older than they. Pulling her hair back into a ponytail as she stepped down to the forth floor.

Walking to the door of the Student Lounge the girl headed into the room. Looking about she didn't see anyone that she recognized. Until she saw a particular girl. The one that had tormented her best friend Tybalt. Frowning the girl watched from the doorway as the other seemed to be doing her work. Crossing her arms across her chest the young blonde approached the dark haired girl. "You!" She said glaring down at the evil girl. "You're the bully who tormented my friend Tybalt during first year. Did you also last year?" Indiana sneered towards the girl she assumed was the Slytherin bully.

 

[Bituin San Buenaventura]

Bituin was surprised when there was suddenly a girl coming towards her. She recognized the girl slightly, a Gryffindor whom she shared some classes with first year. She hadn't seen the girl at all in her classes last year. Of course they weren't friends so it never actually bothered her. But now she was being yelled at by this girl for things she never did. Closing her eyes the calm girl did not need to hold her temper, she was not like her older sister. She was used to being blamed for things her sister did, the two looking so much alike caused this reaction by many people. Bituin only hoped this blonde Gryffindor knew her sister as a Slytherin, for it was her only way here to show people she was not the same. Of course she never traveled far from the Common Room, so it was that they were never together, the two sisters, therefore hard to prove their differences.

"I'm sorry. You have the wrong girl. That is my sister Josefina you are referring too. She's a Slytherin. I'm Bituin, Ravenclaw, surely you remember from the sorting ceremony there are the two of us?" Bituin said politely to the girl. Of course she knew the boy whom this blonde was referring too. Tybalt Archer, he had been in her classes the past two years, photographer for the yearbook and well known because of his older cousin coming back to Hogwarts the previous year. She also knew her older sister hated him because he was a weakling. Bituin did not think he was so however. He had been put in Gryffindor after all, at some point his bravery would shine through and he would be able to put Josefina in her place.

 

[Indiana Night]

Indiana had to admit she didn't really know or remember much of the girl who bullied Tybalt. She hadn't really been there any of the times that it had happened, just there for the aftermath. Looking down at the Ravenclaw sitting in front of her with arms cross, Indiana wasn't sure what to think. The opening ceremony was a long time ago, she did not remember much about anything from it at all. This girl looked a whole lot nicer than the girl she had passed during first year once. Thinking to her classes she did remember seeing two similar looking girls, they never sat together so it was hard to know for sure. She never put much thought into it before as well.

"Why is she so mean?" Indiana questioned the girl, Bituin. It never made sense to Indiana way someone could be so cruel to others. She supposed it went along well with the Slytherin crest on her robes. But Preston wasn't cruel like that and he too was a Slytherin. He also was a muggleborn, something that went against the Founder of the house of Slytherin's wishes for those in his house. But he lived a long long time ago so she figured the hat didn't think it matter as much. Though everyone was put into their houses based on who they were and who they would become, it made her wonder who Preston was going to become later on.

 

[Bituin San Buenaventura]

Bituin never fully understood why her elder sister was so cruel. She imagined that the personalities they had were so different from each other because they never wanted to be a like. Well really it was Josefina who did not want to be like her younger sister, though the girl never understood why. Most people said they enjoyed being around Bituin more than the older girl. But then again, Josefina really wasn't a people person, despite her natural leadership skills. Then again it could always be that the older girl didn't have any real leadership skills just was bossy and Bituin always followed along. The younger girl was always the nicer of the two, never hurt a fly in her life. The same couldn't be said for the older girl, however.

"I'm not sure. She's always been that way. I guess it could of been the fact mother always took more care with me because I was the youngest," she admitted to the Gryffindor. Bituin looked at the blonde and motioned to the seat next to her. She wondered if the blonde girl knew her Gryffindor friend Rose. She missed the girl and couldn't wait to see her once again. Of course, Bituin did not have many friends at Hogwarts, it seemed every time she tried to make one, her sister would end it quickly. Mostly from jealousy, the younger sister thought.

 

[Indiana Night]

Indiana thought on the question and knew how this seemed true even in her own house. She grew up with her older sister as a mother and her older brother being the neglected one, although he was always much more shy then angry. Perhaps it was the age difference between her and him that made it that way compared to the age difference between Bituin and her sister Josefina. Indiana wasn't sure why she trusted the smile and words of the Ravenclaw in front of her. The girl truly did seem to be honest and very nice. Even mature for her age, she reminded Indiana of her own sister, Georgiana.

Sitting down next the Ravenclaw, Indiana began to think of many questions she could ask the other girl. She always wondered how it would be to have a twin of her own. After all, her older siblings were twins like Bituin and her sister, although not identical. But then she remembered hearing something on how the girls weren't born at the same time and were Irish twins and they happened to look nearly identical. She wasn't sure what to believe, but then she realized questioning a new friend wouldn't be the polite thing to do and held her tongue. Instead she enjoyed the afternoon in the Student lounge making friends with the Ravenclaw girl.
