It was a cold day out, the sun coverd up by the clouds. Hayden walked around his room, and then walked down staris. It was New years eve. Soon it would be the start of a new year. So much had happend that year, he thought to himself. He didn't want it to change, he loved the way it was. Hayden sighed, he walked over to the window the Giffindor common room and then saw that not alot of people were out. Barley any people out. He ran back up to his room, and changed into a green shirt and jeans. He put on his shoes quickly, and went back down stairs.
He was soon getting ready to walk around the school, he had nothing better to do anyways.
Stacey turned on her heel when she heard someone enter. When she had come in the common room, it had been empty. "Hello." She said nicely. She flipped her light brown hair over her shoulder, her eyes bright green.
"Are you new? Haven`t seen you around." She pulled at the corner of her denim jacket. Her lime green tee shirt was mostly hidden under it.
Hayden looked at the girl that was down there now. "Ahh, no im not. Just know one really noticed I was around."he said to her kindly. He put on his Cheackered print hoodie, and then looked back at the girl.
"Im Hayen."he said to her, "Well really the name is Oliver Hayden Hazard-Perry, but you can call me whatever."he added.
Stacey smiled and nodded. "I`m Stacey." She greeted kindly. She walked over to the window to look outside. She didn`t look at the ground though, she looked at the stars. She sighed softly to herself, then turned back around to face Hayden.
"Do you know many people yet?"
He looked at her, "Nope, I would say you are the only one I know. If the teachers count, i know them to."he said to her. The truth is even though he has been here for ever, he hasn't had many friends, all because he is shy, and nobody has ever talked to him.
Stacey nodded and leaned back to sit on the window sill. She noted how tall he was compared to herself. "What year are you?" She asked, curious. She snapped her fingers and a flame appeared in her palm. She rolledit around, playing with it, a habit she had gotten into. She didn`t mind him knowing she could use fire, but she definatly didn`t want him to know about her other power.
Hayden looked at him and the fire in her hands, he smiled, "Im a 5th year, and I am good with elements to. Water is my best though."he said to her.
Stacey looked down at the flame in her hands, hardly realizing it was there. "Oh, yea. I can master fire." She said with a smile. "I`m a fifth year too." She looked down at her new gold ring. She turned it so it glittered in the moonlight coming in from the window.
He looked at her, "As i can with water."he said.
"Ahh, I see."he said to her. Hayden looked around the room, then back at her.
Stacey looked up, confused. "See what?" She asked. Her eyes were bright blue now, instead of green.
"Were both 5th years."he said to her and sighed.
He then sat down, he began thinking on what he was going to do today.
Stacey tilted her head, her eyes purple. She smiled a tiny smile, using his powers without him knowing. Of course he wouldn`t know anyway, he didn`t know what her real powers were, and he didn`t know about her unique power.
Hayden sat there and then his eyes turned black and his pupils turned red. He had a look on his face, that was far away. He was seeing something else. It happend to him alot, he would see things that would happen, and things that wouldn't.
Stacey`s eyes turned orange as she watched Hayden. She could tell he was seeing something. She wondered if it was past future or present.
He snaped back into it, "What did you say?". He was acting like nothing had happend. He didn't what anybody to know what he could do.
Stacey righted her head. "I didn`t say anything." She said softly. Her eyes were purple again.
"Oh."is all he said. He saw something terrible, but he didn't say anything. "Well....."he added.
Stacey sighed. "I won`t tell anyone." She said softly; she wondered if he would hear her. "Really, I get mad incredibly easy, but I refuse to betray someone." What she said was true, she hadn` ever even told a rumor or secret about someone she hated.
((you hate me?!))
(haha)
Hayden looked up, "Wh...Wha...What are you talking about"he asked her.
((Not yet. =] ))
Stacey locked eyes with Hayden, determined to tell the truth. "I saw what you saw." She said even quieter.
((i read you bio, and you said she can use other peoples powers. It isn't a power=] So, there is noway she chould of seen what he saw.))
Hayden looked at her, "Then what did I see?"he said to her, and smirked.
((It`s a unique power that I made up by myself and no one said I couldn`t do that. So I can. And I have. =] ))
((okkay...you wait see:))
"Well..what did I see?"he asked again.
((I`ve waited and I`ve seen.))
Stacey raised an eyebrow. "You saw a deer getting torn to peices by a vampire in the firest. Right no." She said challengingly.
((haha))
He looked at her, "Wrong."he said.
I was Stacey`s turn to smirk. "Then what, tell me, did you see?"
He looked at her, "Well if I tell you, you will turn on me and tell me that is what you saw, so really it is a lose, lose for everyone."he said to her.
Stacey shrugged. "Either way, the other thing you saw isn`t going to happen." She said with a smile. Her eyes were an amused grey.
"What I saw was a family thing, it will be bad to me, not to you, and it will happen."he said to her.
Stacey tilted her head again. "Okay, but what I saw is definatly not going to happen." She said confidently.
He looked at her, "I know, because I made you see that."he said to her and then laughed.
"It is another thing I can do when I see people trying to read my mind."Hayden said.
Stacey laughed quietly; it was a self-directed laugh. "You may be older than me. You may think I`m a stupid little girl. Don`t think that for one second, Hayden. I`ve been underestimated all my life. If only you knew what I could do right now." She said smugly, her eyes bright grey.
He looked at her, "I may be older, but you are not a stupid girl, you are a smart one, and I respect you. Everybody has been underestimated in there life time. That is how it is, and if only you know what I could also do at this moment."he said to her.
Stacey raised an eyebrow. "How many knives do you think I have within an armspan right now? How many different classes do you think I`ve taken during my forced life of a Muggle? How much hatred do you think I have stored up for when I have to rip someone apart?"
He looked at her, "Do you know how many people I have killed, Stacey?"he asked her.
Stacey laughed again. "Do you know how much that doesn`t bother me. I`ve killed exactly eighteen vampires. Most of my family was killed by Death Eaters and they`re after me. There have been three atempt to kidnap me, just in these woods outside. You don`t scare me."
He looked at her, "I have killed my sister and my brother, 5 kids, vampiers, my own dad. and alot more people."he said to her, "You don't scare me."he said coldly. He was a nice boy but something about this girl made him mad.
Stacey could feel Hayden`s anger. "Okay, so mabey I haven`t done that much yet. But I still don`t think you quite get me." She put a hand to her chin. Then something struck her; this guy was a lot like herself. They both get angry quickly, they both bragged about things they had done, and he seemed to like a challenge.
Hayden looked at her his eyes getting darker from him being mad. "I know I don't get you, just like you don't get me."he said to her them his eyes softend.
"Okay, Im going to be nice now, would you like to go down to the Great Hall and get something to eat? I need food."he said to her.
"Sure." Stacey said, but as he turned around she put herhand at her waist to make sure her flate knives were in their sheaths. She covered up her movement by putting her hands behind her back.
He looked at her, "I know you have like over 20 knives with you. I do to."he said as he pulled up his shirt, and showed her his.
Stacey smiled. She had exactly 13 knives on her, but she wasn`t going to let him know that. "I`m sorry to disappoint you, but I`d rather not show you where my knives were." he said kindly.
He looked at her, and laughed, "Okay, but I have more, and I won't tell you were they are."he said and then winked.
"Okay..food."he said as he headed for the door.
Stacey rolled her eyes as he turned around. She could practically see where the knives were.
He laughed at her, as he read her mind. "Those aren't knvies"he said.
"They are somewhere else."he said. Truthfully, all he had to do was snap and the would apear in his hands. The ones that he showed her, were now up in his room.
He started walking down the hall, and then looked back at her, "Well are you comeing or not?"he asked.
Stacey rolled her eyes again. "I didn`t say those were knives." She said, annoyed. She blocked her mind, having successfully managed to copy Ginny`s impetrable block. Now she could think freely without having her mind reviewed by someone she barely knew.
"By the way, I am engaged." She said as she walked after Hayden.
He stoped and looked at her, "Ew"he said flat out. "I never thought of you in that way."he said, "If I did think of you it would be as a sister, or a close family friend."
Hayden then laughed, "I can't belive you thought that."
Stacey smiled again. "Obviously my block worked." She said walking past him. She flashed her left hand at him, showing off her diamond ring.
"Your sick"he said to her then walked past her. He went down the stairs, and then turned into the Great Hall
Stacey followed at her own pace. "Wow, I expected a bigger response to that; I`m fifteen and engaged."
He looked at her, "Did he get you pregent?"he asked.
Stacey stopped and gave Hayden a deadly look. "He did nothing like that. And don`t say anything like that to me ever again." Her eyes were blood red as she stared at him.
He looked at her and shrugged, "You wanted to bigger response, there you go"he said to her and laughed.
Stacey looked away from him, her eyes still deadly. "That`s not what I meant." She said bitterly, sitting down. A silver plate appeared in front of her with squares of white chocolate covering it.
"OK, OK im sorry."he said to her, "Just calm down"he added.
He started eating some fries and then looked at her.
Stacey stared at her plate as she bit a piece of chocolate in half. She layed the other half on the plate, and slowly it started to melt.
He looked at her, and then saw her relax a little. Just like she had a secret power so did he. His was that he could change moods. Say they was a big fight going on, he could calm it down and relax people, make them feel happy, just like he could make somebody get mad. But the thing is, nobody could use his own power against him.
Stacey realized that she was suddenly calm, and why. She immediatly tore her soul away from everything else; another trick she had learned from Ginny. She looked up and glared at Hayden.
He looked at him and back down, "Sorry, its a habit.", he said the put a fry in his mouth.
"I`m sure." Stacey said bitterly. She was a little disappointed; she had expected Hayden to become a quick friend, not that they would be competing like this.
He looked at her, "I was hoping we were friends..."he siad to her,"But whatever."he said then got up and started to walk away. Hayden walked out of the Great Hall, and then outside. He stoped and took a breath of fresh air, that felt good, he loved the fresh air, and the rain that was soon to come. Hayden had a frown on his face and he started to walk to the lake.
Crap! Stacey thought, sighing and standing up. She bitterly followed Hayden, even though her normal self would have just gone upstairs and forgotten him.
Hayden stoped, and saw Stacey following him, if she didn't want to be friends then why was she following him. He rolled his eyes, and then climbed a small tree, and sat in it. Just ring to get away from the world.
Stacey stood at the base of the tree, looking up, with her arms crossed. Her eyes were still vibrant red as she glared at him. "I know you want to be friends. I ticked you off, you ticked me off, okay? We`re too much alike for that not to happen." She said bitterly.
He jumped down from the tree, "How the heck are WE alike?"he asked her.
Stacey raised an eyebrow. "We both get mad easily. We both like to show off. We both think we can take anyone else. We`ve both suffered losses. We both have guilty conciseness." She paused. "Need I say more?"
He looked at her and nodded, "Ahh, I see.". Is all that he said.
Stacey raised her other eyebrow. "Look, if you`re going to act like that, I`ll just leave." She said, taking a step back.
He looked at her, "How am I acting?"he asked her.
Stacey rolled her eyes. "Da*m, we`re both in denial as well." She whispered softly before looking at him. "You`re acting like a jerk."
He looked at her and laughed, "Well join the club because you are acting like a b*#@h"he said to her.
Stacey shook her head, smiling. "Are you sure you aren`t my cousin or something?" She asked sarcastically. Really, they were way too much alike for their own good.
He looked at her, "How do you know I not your brother or something, that you don't know about because your parents gave me away at brith?"he asked her.
Stacey smiled like she knew something he didnt, which she did. "Becasue my mom was born in France and my father in Britain and neither one of them have left the country. But I could understand them giving you away." She said.
Hayden looked at her, "Well they didn't have to leave to contry to give me away, but if you think about it. We do both have our own special powers, and I am the only wizard in my family....ever..., oh and we do look alike. Put the facts together."he said to her.
Stacey laughed. "We look nothing alike. If you`re so smart, what`s your last name?"
Hayden looked at her, serious now. He jumped down from the tree.
"Yeah we do"he said to her.
"We both have light brown hair. Our skin is the same color. Your eyes change with your moods, mine change when I see things."he said to her.
"Oh, and I was adopted. I was only a couple weeks old when my now mom and dad got me. I never had a real name till they took me in."he said to her.
Stacey clenched her teeth stubbornly. "Neither one of my parents had affairs," She said firmly. "That I know." She knew her parents weren`t on the best of terms, but they would never cheat on one another.
He looked at her, "I didn't say they did. I never said that ever."he said to her.
"What im saying is, is that.....I think I am your brother. Maybe ever your twin, but just a boy."he said to her.
"How do you know your parents didn't want a boy, just a girl. So when we were borning they sent me away,and kept you."he said to her.
"Im just saying, when I saw you, it felt like a knew you."
"You`re a year older than me, you can`t be my twin." She said defensivly. That idea to her was just... repulsive.
He looked at her, "No, im not. Your 15 you told me so. I am 15 to."he said to her.
Stacey looked away, her eyes burning. But they weren`t red, they were dark blue. "I wouldn`t put it past my mom, but my dad would never let his child be sent away."
He looked at her, "You don't happen to be an aimgus do you?"he asked.
He looked at her his face now in a frown.
"Sorry if I bothered you. Everything just fits together."he said to her.
"And the only thing that I came with when I was a baby was this."he said as he took a necklace out of his pocket.
It had a JB+CB forever on it.
((Cheater! You looked at my profile!))
"I`m a snow leopard." Stacey whispered. She stared at the necklace. The initials fit, but it didn`t make sense. Her father would never allow his own child to be sent away.
((I had to know somethings about you. HAHA!! im sorry. don't be mad.))
He looked at her then down at the ground."Sorry if im makeing you mad. Ill just go now."he said then started to walk the other way.
"Hayden, wait." Stacey called, turning around and incrossing her arms. "Will you... let me talk to my parents. You aren`t making me mad, I just don`t understand."
He turned around with his hands in his hoodie, "yeah?"he asked her.
"Sure go ahead and talk to them."he said to her.
Stacey pursed her lips and nodded. "Meet me in the common room tomorrow night at eleven." She said. With that she turned and ran, Stacey disappeared and a snow leopard took her place. She disappeared into the trees.
Hayden stood there, "Uhh, okay?"he said then walked back into the Great Hall and grabed some food. He sat down and ate it, then when he was done he went back up to the Griffendor commanroom, and went up to his room.
Hayden had alot on his mind. With everything that had happend today. Things were just...different. He tood a shower then changed, and climbed into his bed. After mayden 15 mintues he fell asleep.
...
He woke up the next morning and just layed there in his bed, as the hours pasted him by. The day was going by fast ever though he hadn't been anywhere. Oh well, he thought.
Stacey sighed as she walked into the common room. She looked up at the clock; it was exactly eleven. She sat down in one of the oversized armchairs and turned the envelope she held in her hands. It was a letter from her father. She sighed again as the clocked turned to eleven-o-one.
Hayden woke up and looked at the time. He sighed.
He didn't even bother to change cloths, he was in sweatpants with a tshirt on. He walked down stairs,and then saw her sitting there. Hayden walked over to her then sat down.
"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii"he said.
"Hello," Stacey said softly. She stared down at the package she was holding. "I talked to my dad last night."
He looked at her, "Coolio"he said still tired.
Stacey looked at Hayden with green eyes. "Are you coherent? Do you want to know what is in here?"
"No"he said flatly, "But can you just tell me what you wanted to tell me? Dinner is in an half hour. Okay maybe not, but I need food."he said to her.
Stacey rolled her eyes. "What is in here I think you would find interesting." She pulled out a long silver chain. There was a tiny charm on it that had the words "Oliver Reese Black" written on it in curly handwritting.
He looked at her, and took the thing from her, "What the f#@k is this?"he said.
Stacey pursed her lips. "I think you know what it is." She pulled out a frame. In it was a black-and-white picture. In it was Stacey`s mother holding a baby. A baby boy.
Hayden looked at her, "No."he said to her.
"Why?"he said his eyes changeing blue. This never happend before, why were his eyes changeing?
"My father told me that when they got pregnant, they didn`t expect twins, no one ever does. They hoped they would have enough money to take care of two children, but they didn`t. They sent the baby boy to America, expecting to get him back when they had enough money." Stacey was looking at the floor, her eyes dark blue and glassy with tears.
"The buisness that the baby was adopted to was burned down as a result of a boycott. All of the records were lost, the building was burned to the ground." She swallowed, a lump forming in her throat. "They couldn`t track anything. Everything was lost." She tunred her wet gaze to Hayden.
"There is a fair chance that that baby could be you. Do you remember anything? Anything at all?"
Hayden looked at her,and began to think. All he remembered was smoke.
"No."he said to her, "Do you really think I can remember something that had happened over 15 years ago?"he asked her.
Stacey closed her eyes and swallowed again. "Please, try. You didn`t see the look on my father`s face when I spoke with him. Please, what do you remember?"
He looked at her, "Smoke."he said, "Thats all I know."he said then took out the necklace he had always had. It had a ORB on it.
He looked at her and handed it to her.
"This came with the other one I have."he said.
Stacey carefully took the necklace along with the other one she had brought. She sighed.
"Hayden, I think you`re my brother." She looked at him slowly, her eyes grey.
Hayden looked at her, "Why do you think that? "he asked her.
Stacey looked at the ground again. "Like you said last night, we have the same skin color and hair color. We have the same temperment. We have these." She held up the necklaces. "The facts all come together."
"You didn't belive me then, why do you now? What did your father say?"he asked her.
Stacey stood up. "Last night you were convinced that you were my brother. Why do you deny it now?" She demanded. "I didn`t believe you last night because I didn`t understand. I know now that I was born with a twin, and he got sent to America to live a better life until he could come home. Why do you not believe this?"
He looked at her, "I don't know"he said.
Stacey turned around and put a hand over her eyes. She walked over to the wall and leaned her back against it. "What do you think about all this?" She asked, her voice cracking.
He looked at her, "I think you are my sister, but your a b!!!h"he said to her.
Stacey glared at him. "Hayden, be serious, please. I know our bad temperments don`t go very well together, but please try to be serious."
Hayden looked at her, "I am being serious."he said.
Stacey sighed and rolled her eyes, but she smiled at him anyway. "Welcome to the family."
He looked at her, "Why are you smileing?"he asked, "Oh! joy!"he said to her.
Stacey rolled her eyes again and stood up. "Leave it to you to ruin something." She tossed the thick folder at him. "Here, I`m sure you`ll want this sooner or later." She sank into the big armchair.
Hayden looked at her, "what the heck is this??" He took it from her and then pulled our some papers. They were all together.
"REad it and find out." Stacey said in a bored tone. "Duh." She wrapped her arms around her knees. "Jeez, I thought you`d be smart enough to figure that out."
Hayden looked at her, confused. "What are they??" he asked her mad now
(what r they)
((Birth certificates... legal stuff confirming you`re alive.))
Stacey rolled her eyes. "That makes on way we`re different; you can`t control your mood as well as I can." Her voice sounded smug.
((OHHH))
He looked at her, and then rolled his eyes, "Mmhmmmm."he said to her.
Stacey sighed and watched as Hayden shuffled through the papers.
Hayden put down the papers, and just sat there, "Im bored."he said.
Stacey raised an eyebrow. "Well, that`s too bad because I actually have somewhere I need to be right now." She said, looking up at the clock. She stood up and adjusted her denim jacket.
He looked at her, "I need to met this guy your with. I am your brother."he said to her.
Stacey raised her eyebrow higher. "Excuse me? I think I`m quite capable of taking care of myself in that department." She smiled at Hayden, and the smile was not pleasent. "I thank you for your concern, but I`d rather he not know I was related to you." Her smile turned sweet. "See ya later." She said as she made her way out of the room.
He laughed then got up and followed her.
Stacey stopped, her back to Hayden. She could tell her was following her and she sighed. "Would you please stop?" She asked.
He a smiled at her, "nopeee"
Stacey closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "If you embarass me, I swear I will freakin` kill you." She threatened. "Now hold on." She kept her eyes closed for a moment, then opened them.
((If you`re reading this Aiden, join.))
(Where are they?)
Aiden was walking around when he heard a voice. Actually, the voice was Stacey's. He walked toward the voice. "Uh...hey?" He greeted them with a confused look. Aiden noticed Stacey's annoyed, and angry expression, and also the expression of the boy who seemed to be amused by something.
((Outside the Gryffindor common room.))
Stacey smiled at Aiden and moved to hi side, taking his hand. She looked back to Hayden with a sour look. "Aiden, Hayden. Hayden, Aiden." She introduced.
Aiden looked at Hayden, and lifted his head. "Hey man." He said casually. Aiden looked back at Stacey, and noticed her sour expression. "Whats up?" He asked them both.
Stacey gently squeezed Aiden`s hand, her eyes narrowed and darkened. "Aiden, this is my brother." She said softly.
Hayden looked at them. "Hey."he said to Aiden.
"Yuup thats me, the brother, more like twins. Uhh she ped the bed when she was little."he said to him then looked at Stacey and smiled, "Face it, you lovee meeee. hahahaha"he said.
"Lovee as a brother."
Stacey rolled her eyes. "You didn`t even know you had a sister until you came here. So shut up." She leaned into Aiden, glaring at her brother.
He laughed, "I know, just asuming, by what I know now."he said to her and laughed.
Aiden glanced back at Stacey. "I didn't know you had a brother." He pointed out to her quietly.
Stacey looked at Aiden and her eyes instantly softened. "I didn`t either, until yesterday." She turned her gaze back to her twin, her eyes sharpening quickly. "He takes after our mom." She said, looking back to her fiance with a smile.
Aiden smiled at Stacey's remark. "Ah. Well, I guess that does explain alot." He said jokingly as he winked at her. Aiden squeezed his fiance's fingers.
