As Heather approached the sibling duo, she started to hear better fragments of their discussion. "-for my study's and was second hand. These pranks are just a waste of money and we don't even have the money." Oh, so this is why Henry tried to take Heather away from his family, and why he tried to change the subject all the time. He must be ashamed, thought Heather, but she didn't understand why. True, money was a big deal, but not everything.

Deciding to act like she hadn't heard their quarrel, Heather greeted Annabeth and Arthur, shaking the male's hand. He was, obviously, taller than Heather- which she supposed it was a good thing. She didn't want to be taller than an eighteen-year boy from this age. Despite the fact that she seemed mad, Heather nodded towards Annabeth, too, albeit a bit shy. "I'm guessing Henry told you we're in Diagon Alley for most of the day. You're more than welcome to tag along with us if you like Heather... If your family doesn't mind of course?" Turning her head towards Arthur, Heather smiled."Yeah, I would love to! My family isn't here now, so I was going spend the day alone here, otherwise." As she replied, Heather's eyes wandered to the pranks Annabeth seemed to hold in her hands.

"Yeah, I would love to! My family isn't here now, so I was going spend the day alone here, otherwise." Henry stepped away from Heather a bit but still didn't say anything as he rarely did when his siblings were present,
instead Arthur spoke up and even through the three them experienced the same life changing event over the summer, Arthur still could put on a show and act like a mature and social person as he spoke " I'm sorry to hear that you were hear alone but I'm glad you'll be joining us. We were just about to head out of here anyway-" That's when Annabeth interrupted her brother and pay no attention to either her twin or Heather as she spoke to Arthur " yes, we'll leave as soon as you give me some bloody money!" Arthur smiled at Heather as to say sorry for the interruption before turning to Annabeth " You know we don't have enough money for those things, so it's not even worth arguing it." Annabeth just rolled her eyes at her brother as she spoke " we do, if you don't get the bloody books today!"

Arthur did his best to control his angry but after what the siblings experienced a few days ago it was hard as he spoke " I need those for my study's, while you don't need these pranks." Annabeth could easily see what she was doing as she spoke again " I do need these prank items for my business, but you don't need those books! Just change your career again!" Arthur now seemed to turn red in the face as he was about to shout back before Henry now stepped in, as he tried to help his siblings. Henry stepped between them ad he said " maybe everyone just needs to cool down for a second, Arthur I'll help Anna put everything back while you can stay here and take a breath."

Henry quicky moved Annabeth away to pit the pranks she was holding back on the shelves but it was hard as Annabeth refused to leave, finally going with Henry as she shouted "Git!" Arthur watched his two siblings leave and took a breath just calm him down before turning and speaking to Heather " sorry about that Heather. So how do you know Henry?"

As Heather watched the siblings fight over the money, her eyes wandered towards Henry; Poor boy, he seemed really embarrassed, and the girl felt the urge to put a hand on his shoulder, letting out a small, understanding smile. "Don't worry," she whispered so only Henry could hear, "No one is seeing you different just because you don't have as much money as other people. At least you have a relationship with your siblings, which I can't say I do." Grinning, Heather shook her head and turned her attention towards Arthur and Annabeth. Both were getting angrier once more, but their Slytherin brother stepped between them just on time, before their fight escalated further. "Maybe everyone just needs to cool down for a second, Arthur I'll help Anna put everything back while you can stay here and take a breath."

Heather wanted to say something, but before she could do so, Henry already took his twin away, and the girl remained alone with Arthur. "Sorry about that Heather. So how do you know Henry?" Turning her head towards the male, she smiled. "We're both studying at Hogwarts. I've met him in the Library and ever since we've been... friends," said the girl, wondering if she should tell Arthur the truth about their first meeting, but she ultimately decided to leave the details out. After all, they didn't hate each other's guts and kind of trusted each other...so her words might as well be considered the truth.

A sudden idea popped up into the Ravenclaw's head, and Heather's face lightened up suddenly. "Oh, excuse me for a moment, I have to pay for these," Heather said, pointing at the box of tricks Henry had shown her before they approached his siblings. Sneakily, she went out to the counter, but on her way, she took the pranks Annabeth wanted.
After she paid for everything, she went back to Arthur and hiding the present she'd just bought, waited for Henry and Annabeth to return. "Hm, Arthur? How is Henry like at home? Just as studious and sarcastic as he is at school?"

"Oh, excuse me for a moment, I have to pay for these," Heather have said and Arthur replied back " yes, of course." Arthur waited there while trying to stay calm till his siblings returned and saw that Heather returned when she spoke "Hm, Arthur? How is Henry like at home? Just as studious and sarcastic as he is at school?" Arthur got pulled out of his train of thought when he heard Heather speak which prompted him to say, " uh," Arthur didn't think his brother was sarcastic maybe now after a few things happened but definitely out last year as Arthur spoke " Henry is
mostly quiet and spends more time outside than anything else. I guess he's a bit too studious, but he's
also kind and helpful at home but definitely not sarcastic."
Henry actually didn't know how his brother acted at school so he figure this would be a good time to find out while they waited as he asked " what's Henry like at school, if you don't mind me asking Heather?"


As Arthur and Heather talked, Henry was with Annabeth trying to put everything back but Annabeth was slowing the process. " They don't cost much and anyway I think I deserve them from the summer we had so far," Annabeth have protested while Henry continued to put things away. When Annabeth finally only had three times in her arms, she spoke again " at least just help me convince Arthur to buy these three items.
I get bored at home when you guys are away."
Annabeth tried playing the sympathetic card but Henry just said " Later Anna, you know we can afford them," as Henry put the last three items back Annabeth spoke again " why can't you be on my side for a change. We are twins, were suppose to have each other's backs," Henry smiled at his twin while he spoke " I do have your back, but not when there's no point in arguing." Ananbeth then muttered a barely audible whatever as Henry wrapped his arm around his twin and said " come on, let's get back to Arthur and Heather."

As Henry and Annabeth approached Arthur and Heather, Henry saw they were talking and he worried a bit as he walked a bit faster before hearing Annabeth say " happy everything's back, are we going to leave now." Arthur turned toward his siblings as he spoke " glad to see that your in a better mood."

"Henry is mostly quiet and spends more time outside than anything else. I guess he's a bit too studious, but he's also kind and helpful at home but definitely not sarcastic." Raising an eyebrow, Heather felt her cheeks redden. And she spoke so confidently about the Slytherin's character! Now she made herself look like a fool in front of Arthur. Her embarrassment seemed to go unnoticed, though, as the older boy spoke again.

"What's Henry like at school, if you don't mind me asking Heather?" Opening her mouth to reply, the girl quickly closed it again, unsure how to answer. Now, it really dawned on her how little did they truly know each other. But she shouldn't be surprised; after all, they never spent any time in each other's company, besides their adventure in the library. "He's... smart. When we first met I actually told him that he would have been a good Ravenclaw, maybe an even better one than myself," Heather replied, rubbing the back of her neck. She didn't remember if she ever said those words to Henry, but she believed them. Sometimes she wondered if the Sorting Hat didn't make a mistake when it placed her in the house of witty.

"And he's...nice too. He helped me with a problem I had a few months ago,"
The Ravenclaw continued. She intentionally omitted the prank- it just didn't sit well for her to snitch on the Slytherin in front of his own brother- not that she thought that Arthur would get mad, and she certainly wasn't the one to forget bad deeds, but this time, she felt like she was going to let it in the past. "I said that he was sarcastic in a friendly way, not in a bad one, so don't worry," Heather concluded. "Henry is a great child!"

"Happy everything's back, are we going to leave now?" A sudden voice made Heather turn her head towards the duo that was approaching them. She locked eyes with Henry, and let out a small, grateful smile. As Arthur spoke with Annabeth, while they were exiting the store, the two Hogwarts students went close behind them. Suddenly, the blonde pushed the box of pranks in Henry's hands. "Here, as a thank you for helping me with, you know... my problem," Heather said, winking.

"Here, as a thank you for helping me with, you know... my problem," Heather have spoke to Henry as she shoved a box of pranks into his hands, the two were a bit behind his siblings as Henry looked at the box and noticed that they were the ones that Annabeth tried to buy.
Henry looked at Heather and didn't know what to say, He always thought of them as friends but he didn't think that Heather thought the same or would help him like this but she did. Henry smiled at her as he spoke " thanks Heather," Henry then leaned in as he whispered " since our year together got cut off last year then what if when we get back to Hogwarts we can meet somewhere private and I'll let you ask as many questions as you want about my furry problem."

Henry hoped that she would know that when he meant his furry problem, he actually meant him being a werewolf but she was smart so she probably did. Henry ran out to his siblings as he called " hey, wait up!" Annabeth and Arthur both stopped as Henry came running up holding the box of pranks from Heather, Arthur looked at it and was a in shock as he spoke " where did you get those? Henry you didn't steal those did-" Henry for the first time cut off his brother as he spoke " no I didn't steal them Arthur," Henry did leaned in and spoke again " Heather got them as a thank you gift for something."

Arthur was about to protest but Annabeth took the box from Henry as she spoke " bloody wicked, your friends are pretty amazing Henry," Annabeth then when she saw Heather approach her with a friendly smile as she spoke " thanks mate, I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot before but maybe we can start again," Annabeth saw the pranks in Heather's hands as she spoke again " so you like pranks and tricks maybe I can recomend some to do at Hogwarts since my twin refuses to do any of them. Maybe we can be friends if you don't mind."

Annabeth was definitely more social than her twin brother, as Henry looked at Arthur then back at the two girls a but shocked at how nice Annabeth was acting with Heather.

As she practically shoved the box in the boy's hands, Heather suddenly felt anxious. What if Henry would take her small gesture the wrong way and think she pitied him?
Her intention was certainly not that, she just wanted to do a nice thing for Annabeth, seeing how much she wanted those pranks. After a few moments, though, Henry turned towards her and let out a small smile.

"Thanks, Heather," He replied, sounding sincere. "Since our year together got cut off last year what if when we get back to Hogwarts we meet somewhere private and I'll let you ask as many questions as you want about my furry problem." Heather's face lightened up as she understood what Henry meant. Their last meeting happened so long ago, she'd forgotten about their promise! Nodding, the Ravenclaw grinned. "Oh yeah, you can be sure that, by the end of it, you'll be tired of answering so many things!"

A few moments later, she let out a wide smile, as she noticed Henry catch up with his siblings: he was going to give them the box she'd bought for sure. Deciding to let them have their moment, she stayed a bit behind, eyes looking around the streets of Diagon Alley. Glancing from time to time to the three siblings, after a few moments she supposed that she could return to them, so with a smile, she ventured towards the Knights. "So, everything good?"

"Thanks mate, I'm sorry if we got off on the wrong foot before but maybe we can start again," Annabeth said, and Heather shook her head. "Don't worry, glad you like your present!" After a short moment, Henry's twin continued. "So you like pranks and tricks? Maybe I can recommend some to do at Hogwarts since my twin refuses to do any of them. Maybe we can be friends if you don't mind." Grinning, the Ravenclaw clasped her hands together. "Of course! Actually, my roommates are kinda boring. They really need some surprises from time to time, some pranks would be the perfect way to spice up things!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Heather noticed Arthur and Henry looking quite shocked at the two girls, and she had the urge to laugh. Earlier that day, the Slytherin himself said that she and Annabeth would make good friends, so why was he surprised now?

"Of course! Actually, my roommates are kinda boring. They really need some surprises from time to time, some pranks would be the perfect way to spice up things!" Heather spoke which made Annabeth beam with delight which was something that neither her brothers ever seen before as Annabeth spoke again " well then I have a bloody brilliant list for you. We'll surely give your roommates a surprise, it's times like these that make me wish that I was at Hogwarts to." Arthur and Henry took a few steps to the two girls and when Henry heard the tail end of Annabeth sentence he felt sad for her and remembered that she will never experience Hogwarts or see it's magica and wonder like him and Arthur had.

Annabeth however ignored the fact as she spoke again " doesn't matter now and plus I send you so many owls that it will feel like I'm at Hogwarts with you," Annabeth held the box under her left arm as she continued " but seriously Heather you seem like an amazing and kind person. Why the hell are you friends with my brother?" Henry rolled his eyes at her remark as he could tell that she wasn't asking a question or being funny, sadly she was being completely seriously and Henry was about to argue her back when Arthur placed a hand on his shoulder and whispered into his ear and out of ear shot of the two girl's, " leave it alone, let Annabeth have her fun. She rarely acts this way with anyone else."

Henry knew his brother was right and dropped it as he leaned into his brother's body a bit and Arthur placed his arm around Henry's shoulders. Annabeth however continued to beam as she spoke to Heather, " so besides from pranks what else do you like to do?" Henry and Arthur could tell that Annabeth really wanted to get to know Heather and befriend her while Annabeth was just excited to be talking to someone else beside her brothers or neighbors. Annabeth then spoke again " if your stuck here all day here today maybe I can invite you to our house and you can use the floo network to get back? Our father will be gone till next week so it will be fine," before Arthur could protest this however Annabeth hooked her right hand with Heather's and spoke " well come on boys, we aren't going to stand here all day or are we brother's."

Annabeth then skipped away while pulling Heather with her and laughing as she spoke again " it's a shame that I'm not at Hogwarts because if I was then we could have some fun together instead your stuck with my bloody boring ass twin." Henry looked at Arthur and smiled as he spoke " should I still not anything or are we just going to have Heather come to our house with us?" Arthur laughed as ruffled Henry's hair a bit and spoke " I know, I know. I'll fix it somehow, let's just catch up with them Merlin." Henry ran a hand through his hair while he remembered his brother's nickname for him was merlin, before following close behind the girls while Arthur walked beside him with a arm around Henry's shoulders.

The previous disdain Annabeth held for Heather suddenly evaporated, the girl apparently finding an ally in the blonde Ravenclaw. "I'll send you so many owls that it will feel like I'm at Hogwarts with you!" Hearing her excited tone, Heather couldn't help but to let out a small giggle. "Please do! I can't wait to reply to them all!" Annabeth then continued with another question, which was asked on a more serious tone. "But, seriously Heather, you seem like an amazing and kind person. Why the hell are you friends with my brother?"

The blonde glanced towards her Slytherin friend, a teasing grin playing on her lips. Just as Arthur placed a hand on Henry's shoulder and whispered to him, Heather turned towards Annabeth. "We met one day at the library- and we collaborated together on a, erm, project." Heather stopped for a moment, before continuing. "We've been friends ever since."

As the Ravenclaw resumed chatting with Annabeth, the two girls walked in front of the brothers, sharing different interests and opinions. The blonde's eyebrows furrowed as she heard a foreign term. "Anna, can I call you that? I would gladly accept your offer, but what is 'floo network'? I'm coming from the muggle world, so I'm not that used yet to every magical term."

Feeling herself get pulled away from the boys, Heather laughed a bit, watching Annabeth. "Don't worry, I'll make sure that Henry's year won't be boring- I give you my word that I'll make him get in trouble at least once!"

[quote]Annabeth seemed to pull Heather a bit farther from her brothers before replying in a low voice " you can tell me the truth about how you guys met. Were you enemies, are you frenemies? Please tell me at least one of those are correct because it will sicken me to know that I'm friends with one of my geeky brother's friends to." Annabeth laughed again when Heather spoke and as soon as she finished, Annabeth spoke " of course you can call me Anna, almost everyone does and the floo is a type of wizarding transportation that uses chimneys. I'll show you a bit more back at our house and I'm sure my geek of a twin will give you a extensive and non necessary history of it since it's his favorite transportation. I perfer the broomstick over the floo but technically I'm not allowed to ride alone since I'm a squib, blah blah blah." After Heather spoke again which made Annabeth laugh before saying " I'll send you a list of all the pranks you should do and please do get my know it all twin in trouble, he needs to have at least one detention and howler while at Hogwarts. Ugh, I wish I was at Hogwarts just to miss around and cause havoc with you."

A bit behind the two girls, Henry was walking with Arthur had Arthur had a arm around his younger brother's shoulders and Henry also had to arm around Arthur's shoulders while they a walked a bit slower pace and chatted with each other which is something they enjoyed since the two were very bonded with each other but hardly got a chance just to talk just the two of them since Annabeth always butted in but now with her busy with Heather, the two got to chat. " You didn't get any advanced classes yet, Merlin should I feel sad for you," Arthur joked to Henry which made Henry laughed a bit while he spoke " really funny but I don't care for advanced lessons anymore since I can read ahead and I got you to teach me." Henry felt his brother squeeze his shoulders while he ruffle his hair which made Henry run a hand through his hair while Arthur spoke " maybe then you can joy me at the ministry to see how auror training is and the maybe you will wanted to join me in the profession," Henry the laughed as he spoke " you know that I don't want to join the ministry, Art." Henry smiled at Arthur's nickname while Arthur smiled at his younger brother.
