Red clashes with my hair!

[Drake Kuya]

Drake was devastated, absolutely shocked and saddened. Drake had never been in a different room to his brother before, and he had never gone a day without being woken from him. Today he was woken up by his roommate who had freaked out from Drake’s behaviour and he had to wear red! Red had to be the most horrible colour known to earth and now he had to wear it every single day. Drake walked to the lake, more like stomping actually, how could he not be put in the same house as his brother? How were they different? Justin was exactly like Drake and Drake like Justin, just some very small differences, could the differences have put them into different houses? Well Drake did not care, he was going to carry on without his brother throughout the years and become an independent, but already people were mistaking him for Justin, wondering why he wore red and not green.

Drake sat down on the rocky ground in front of the lake, his hair was slightly messy but he did not care too much, he just felt bad about his poor poor roommate who was only trying to be nice and Drake hit him in the stomach and hit him over the head with his book, poor Samual now had two nasty bruises. “I can’t believe this!” He exclaimed quietly, throwing a rock into the water. “Red clashes with my hair!” he added on a lighter note, trying to entertain himself.

 

[Sophia Leingod]

Sophia was feeling a little sad. She had been separated from her sister. Surely, even before the sorting, they already knew that they might probably be on different houses, what with their personalities being rather different, yet, she still cannot help but to feel really disappointed when it dawned on her that they really were not going to be together a lot anymore. Even their house dorms were very far from each other, how could she possibly go down to the lower levels of the castle, when she, herself, was not really that comfortable with narrow and dark areas. It's not that she's scared, it's just, unnerving.

However, despite of being separated from her twin, Sophia still had lots of things to be thankful for. They had some classes together, and her co-hufflepuffs were really nice. Skipping as she made her way to the lake to check if the rumors about the Giant squid was true, Sophia smiled brightly at everyone whom she passed by. As she was nearing the lake front, Sophia spotted a very familiar face. "Drake?" She muttered softly, she knew that he had a twin, yet, he could clearly tell that it was him, it was the eye color after all. Being rather delighted about this new discovered fact, Sophia decided to approach and greet him, but she abruptly stopped when she remembered something. A very naughty thought crossed her mind.

She crept up slowly and stealthily behind him, careful so as to not inform him about her presence, she then tiptoes and covered his eyes with her small hands.." Guess who.." She said, changing her pitch and tone a little to make it harder for him to guess who she was.

 

[Drake Kuya]

Drake was still rather upset about the fact that he had to wear red and gold and be known as the boy who had a Slytherin brother the whole time he went here, he hadn’t been able to find his brother for a while, it seemed that most Slytherin kids didn’t like the colour red either. When someone covered his eyes at first he thought that it was one of his cousins or brother, but when he heard the voice he froze. Could it really? Was it possible that Sophia was a witch? The girl he met in the park and helped him up his tree to his bedroom was here? He removed the hands and looked behind him, he was right it was Sophia, the girl whose mother Drake was sure he wouldn’t like. “Oh my gosh!” He exclaimed in shock, rather loudly, so loud that nearly everyone that was passing by turned to look at him. “You’re a witch?!” He added.

Drake then thought of something. “Oh my gosh you are stalking me arnt you!” He said laughing. “You do understand that I may be forced to get a restraining order on you or something, there’s just one flaw in your master plan.” Drake pointed out. “You are a Hufflepuff while Im a Gryffindor...” When Drake mentioned the word Gryffindor you could hear that he didn’t like the house, at all. “So how’s is life being a Hufflepuff? Must be far better than being a Gryffindor.”

 

[Sophia Leingod]

Sophia let her hands got free from the boy's grasp as he looked at her. She smiled her best smile at him and tried as much as she can to look innocent and all. However, seeing how shock he was was enough to make her fall to the ground, laughing. She really cannot contain it, hugging her stomach, she laughed hard, too hard in fact that the others looked at her as if she was insane. "It's obvious isn't it Drake? would I be here if I'm not one?" She said, wiping some tears off her eyes as she tried to compose herself.

Sophia cannot help but to laugh once again, this time, a bit softer than before, as Drake commented on how she was stalking him. She cannot really believe that he still does remember that. "I told you didn't I? If you wish so much that I stalk you, then I'll grant it.." She replied at him, sticking her tongue out in a playful manner. "Restraints won't work on me though...I have my accomplices" She added, crossing her arms at her chest as she grinned. She then noticed how he was placed in Gryffindor, he does have a point there, nevertheless, not like it would stop her fro befriending him. "hufflepuff's fine.." She said casually, noticing the bitter tone of him as he spoke about being n Gryffindor. "My sister's a slytherin though, it's unfair to be separated really, but, I guess we have no choice...anyhow, how about your brother? Is he a wizard too?" She added, pouting as she, once again, remembered how she was not put into the same house as her twin.

Drake rolled his eyes. “Your funny, really funny.” He said. “And dont act all innocent, you are an evil little girl, evil evil little girl.” He accused.

Drake laughed when Sophia started laughing again, at the rate they were going they would both die or less of breath. Drake liked Sophia, she was funny and a little bit strange, if only Hazel was like that then he might be on good terms with all his cousins. “What are you now the tooth fairy?” He asked laughing. “Accomplices? Shall I hire a very sneaky person to stalk you?” He asked, Drake knew a Hufflepuff that was really nice, a little too nice but he was sure he’d help him out, or maybe Justin would get enjoyment in being a super spy for a day. Drake still had his bruised eye but he could see out of it now and his ankle was bandaged from climbing out of the window, later that same day he pretended to fall down the stairs to explain what happened, though Justin was very suspicious of it, never had Drake fallen down stairs without help so why would he start? Drake nodded. “Im sure Hufflepuffs fine.” He said, it had to be better then Gryffindor. Drake wasn’t a Gryffindor, he wasn’t overly brave or true or fiery, well he thought he wasn’t anyway. “My cousins in Hufflepuff, if you see him tell him that Hazel is stalking Andy.” He said, though he was sure Sophia would have no idea what he was talking about. “He is tallish and tanned with brown hair and can be really energetic.” He told her. “Like really energetic, he doesn’t sit still he just keeps going and going.” He added. Daniel couldn’t stop doing anything, he was a bubble of energy. “Oh my gosh, my brother is a Slytherin!” He said, rather loudly, he didn’t mean it he was just excited and Drake was loud when excited. “I wonder if they have run into each other yet? Justin did say that he ran into an annoying girl ages ago but every girls annoying to Justin.” Drake explained. Justin wasn’t sexist but he wasn’t extremely fond of annoying girls, well any girl that got on any of his nervous. “I agree it is unfair that us twins are separated you know?” He said.

 

[Sophia Leingod]

"Evil eh? Now,now, do I really look like one? Come on, you're the second person to ever tell me that, the first is my sister, the others, they would say that I am a complete angel..." Sophia said, smiling innocently at the boy, trying to look as angelic as she could.

Sophia waved her hand as Drake told her how she was a tooth fairy, it was a rather amusing thought though. "A tooth fairy? A cute one ne?" She asked with a rather playful tone, snickering at her own statement. "That won't work, my sister herself is an accomplice, she won't tolerate anyone stalking me, believe me Drake..." She added with a light tone, thinking about her sister once again. They haven't seen each other for quite a few days now, but if they would, she's sure that the first statement that would come out of her mouth was a question whether someone had bullied her.

"A cousin? care to tell what his name is? there's a lot of you who are being stalked eh?" She said with a teasing tone to him, blowing a part of her hair off her face. "you're brother's a Slytherin? For real! Wow... I mean... wow..." Sophia said incredulously, albeit too loud for her own good as she, once again, had gathered the others attention. "My sister told me about a guy whom she'll get her revenge on the last few weeks, really, she was very frustrated and angry...she almost lashed it out to the very poor dog of our neighbor who was just too happy to greet her..." She added more quietly with a smile, remembering the day when her sister arrived with a rather annoyed and vicious look on her face.

 

[Drake Kuya]

Drake nodded. “Yes evil, it is always the innocent ones that are evil, I mean look at myself, without all the battle scars I am one adorable kid who could get anyone believing that I was lost or scared.” He said proudly, he wasn’t lying, Drake had already proved to Sophia that he pull out the waters works on command, he could also pull a lost and scared act also.

Drake laughed. “No an evil one.” He corrected. Drake didn’t see girls as cute or pretty or anything similar, he was 11 after all and too immature and proud to compliment a girl in any way about their appearance. “Then I would have to my brother on her, he won’t tolerate anyone annoying me, thats his job after all and Justin hates being replaced.” Drake told her with a nod.

Drake laughed. “I forgot that bit.” He said laughing still. “His names Daniel, but trust me as soon as you meet him you will say ‘yeah that’s Drakes hyper cousin’ I promise, unless he broke his leg or something.” He explained, Daniel said alot of things, often jumped about and was always taking control of a bad situation and making it better, something that got on Drakes nerves, if Drake was trying to scare someone Daniel would jump in and tell him not to and would blow Drakes cover then ground him, it was seriously annoying and rude in Drakes opinion, everyone is allowed to ground Drake but is he allowed to ground them? No. Drake laughed. “Imagine if they did meet then they start world war three!”

 

[Sophia Leingod]

"I doubt that Drake, though, you really are a great actor!" Sophia said with a smile, feeding Drake's ego with compliment without meaning to do so. She really enjoys talking to him, he's quite funny after all.

Sophia pouted as Drake commented that she's an evil one, not that she was hurt, she just wanted to do it. "Evil eh? Oh, if you say so, stalkers are like that ne?" She said with a shrug, sitting down comfortably in the grass, not minding if her skirt would get dirt. "they really are the same, I wonder..." Sophia commented randomly, hugging her knees closer to her little body as she threw some small pebbles at the lake. "Is it true that there's a giant squid there?"

Sophia turned to look at Drake, telling herself to remember the name that he had uttered, "Daniel eh? Sure, I'll look for him once I get back to the common room.." She said casually, wondering how she'll talk to the said boy. "Should I use the direct approach? Or would he freak out if I did so?" She then inquired, tilting her head a little, Chuckling as a thought came into her mind. "World War three? Gosh, we should avoid that! Though, i think it would be too late since they would surely see each other soon enough..." She said with a mock concerned look, not being able to keep it up, and laughing to herself once more. She do love her twin, but sometimes, just sometimes, she wanted to see her be irritated because of some guy.

 

[Drake Kuya]

Drake laughed. He was someone that fed off compliments from people he liked; if he had no friends then he would not be able to live. Drake wasn’t stuck up or anything but he just thought that it is better to accept compliments then deny them. “Thank you, not so bad yourself, evil child.” He said laughing again.

Drake rolled his eyes. “Well apparently they are, exhibit A” He said pointing to Sophia. “And exhibit B is Hazel-smurf.” He added for more effect. Drake laughed when Sophia randomly spoke, sometimes she confused him when she randomly said something that had nothing to do with the conversation. Drake thought about her question, he had not seen a giant squid, but he had not gone swimming either, why would he want to swim? He had no inspiration to swim and he wasn’t a good swimmer anyway. “This is a rare occasion but I dont know.” He said shaking his head. “I guess there could be but who really cares it’s just another boring fish in the water.” He said simply. It was hard to get Drake to compliment anything, excluding his brother, since every compliment his brother could possibly get Drake could receive also, they were the same after all, well Drake thought they were.

Drake laughed. “Chances are he would be glad that I am finally ‘coming out of my shell’” He said added quotations as he spoke. Daniel thought that Drake was a hermit and that he needed to talk to people more. Especially girls, considering that Daniel didn’t have many friends that were girls either Drake had no idea what he was going on about, Drake didn’t need friends, just people but Daniel couldn’t understand that. Drake was so glad that Daniel wasn’t his brother and only his cousin. “It is very hard to freak Daniel out, believe me I have tried.” Drake told her. “Just ask him if he has a cousin named Drake and he won’t stop talking and enthusing about exercise and clouds and other extremely boring things.” Drake told her. Drake blamed his uncle and aunt for Daniels annoying behaviour, they were both energetic and childish people so Daniel was an energetic child on speed, he could never stop talking or running or anything, Drake was sure Daniel could never die, he would know how to stop moving. Drake laughed. “I doubt it, Justin can be a hermit in new surroundings, like when he first came here he turned mute and I had to talk more than usual, it was very annoying now people thinking that they can randomly come up to me thinking that I will actually talk to them.” He said shaking his head. Drake didn’t like having to talk to random people, it was such a drag. “And Im guessing your sister is a girl so he would automatically not want to talk to her.” He added.

 

[Sophia Leingod]

"So now I'm an evil child, gee Drake, I like the sound of a stalker better..." Sophia said with a pout, her eyes following Drake's every movement. Of course she was just kidding, but she cannot help it really.

Sophia narrowed her eyes at Drake's next comment, then a sudden thought crossed her mind. "If you continue saying that Drake.. I would search for that Hazel and plot some evil plan against you...a really evil plan.." She then said, her hands on her hips to add more effect, and her eyes albeit serious, but her calm and smiling face had betrayed that seriousness in her, she still looks like she was kidding.

Sophia looked at the lake's water then turned her attention back to Drake. "Boring fish eh? But if it is really Huge, it's not that boring then right?" She said, laughing slightly as she threw another pebble on the lake. She just shrugged when Drake told her more about his cousin. "You're coming out of your shell? I don't think that you're that shy though for you to do that.." She said, a tiny smirk appearing on her face. "Oh, if you say like that, then I would think that I would have to be great friends with him... I love talkative people.." She added. Sophia loves to talk, and she loves it more when she's talking with someone who shares the same interests as her.

"You're brother's like that eh? My sister too, but I guess, this time, she had had lot of enemies already, but I'm still here for her.. my sister can be really stubborn sometimes you know that she often gets herself into trouble.." Sophia said, remembering the first time that they arrived at Hogwarts, her sister had actually been too snobbish that Sophia had had to make up for all those students that her twin had ignore.
