New beginings...where to start..tbd

Everything he said about our words was true, we would never hear them save for from each other. I smiled up at my brother, he always knew the right thing to say. "Deal." I agreed, holding out my free hand for him to shake, making it official. "When we graduate we WILL get put of their grasp." I repeated the vow. "We can have our perfect world. We can have everything we ever wanted."

"Our own versions of happily ever after," I said, just a hint of sarcasm in my voice.  I did not believe in those, but that was sort of what we were saying was going to happen.  I gave her a genuine smile.  "Let's hope they don't find a way to ruin it..."  I could not help but think that Father would definitely find a way to ruin everything for us that could possibly make us happy in life.

"Happily ever after." I repeated, thinking his choice of words interesting. He never liked that sort of thing, not really. "They won't ruin this. We can't let them. I won't let them." I looked up at my brother, seriousness on my face. I knew in my heart of hearts that if father wanted to ruin this he easily could. But tonight was all about out future, our 'happily ever after' and in my happily ever after, no one ruined anything.

I smiled at her.  "I'll make sure yours won't get ruined," I assured her.  It woudl be easier for me to make sure she got her wish rather than me getting mine.  "Where would you go?  I know I wouldn't want to stay in England... not with our parents here," I said, never really having thought I could have the option to leave.  Where would I go?

With that question, my brother opened a whole new world. We had never thought about leaving, never thought it was an option. "What about Australia?" I thought back to his first comment, "The only way mine could be ruined is if you aren't there." I knew he would be willing to sacrifice his own wish for me but did he really think I wouldn't do the same for him?

Of course Juniper would have a response like that.  I smiled slightly at her.  "The land down under... I'd be willing to go there," I agreed, knowing that if we did ever get out we would end up staying close.  It was a twin thing.  Part of the reason why I was secretly glad I did not end up at Durmstrang was because it would have been too far away from Juniper.

I laughed at his response. "Then it's settled, to the land down under after we graduate it is." I smiled at him, not for the first time thing about what it would've be like if he had gone to Durmstrang. I didn't think I would've been able to survive.

I nodded and looked at her.  "just don't think that you can get away with running around with some Aussie boys, though.  I will still have to approve of your choice in a guy," I informed her.  I would not be overly protective of her when it came to dating -- okay, I probably would -- but I still wanted to have some sort of opinion sought from me.  I realized she would not listen to my opinions about guys, but I would still be giving them.

I laughed at him. I always told him he would have no say in who I dated/if I started dating but the truth is, I would defenatly need his advice. I always tried to find the good in people, almost to a fault, I was a bad judge of charater sometimes. But I knew we were changing the subject onto less serious topics. I tured to my brother. "You do know those rules apply to you as well with the Aussie girls right?" I raised my eyebrows at him as I poked him in the chest with my free hand. I knew he didn't need my help in that deparetment at all but still I could still pretend he would.

I chuckled and looked at her. "If I chose someone who isn't good for me, you're going to what? Kick her arse?" I teased, though it would be write entertaining to see Juniper jump into action to do some butt kicking. I always found it cute that she tried to be protective of me.

I laughter at what my brother had said, "Oh yeah, they'd be some arse kicking going on." I gave him fake one handed punches in his arm. "She wouldn't know what hit her." I smiled at him, wishing I was able to protect him like he did me.

How I wished I could be like this with more than just my sister. But then again, it made these moments that much better. I sighed and shook my head a little. "I think I'd pay big money to see you do some arse kicking. It'd be highly amusing," I said to her.

I ran ahead of my brother and turned back towards him with a wide smile, my hair flinging to one side. "I could kick your arse right now." I was having far to much fun with this conversation but we never really got the chance to be just ourselves with each other. Usually there's other students, our parents, teachers, not just us. It made these moments all the more special. I could never be like this with other people, just like Draco could never be like his is now with anyone but me. He was worried about what father though as was I. It was interesting how we both despayed that in different ways.

I rolled my eyes at her.  "June... I highly doubt that," I pointed out.  "It takes a lot to be able to do that."  It still amazed me that we were so totally different and yet completely the same.  When I looked at Juniper, I saw what I aspired to be -- as carefree as either of us could be in our situation, brilliant, flying under the radar... she was even to go out of her comfort zone and at least talk to people and be kind that I could only be utterly cruel to.

"I know." I said with a small laugh. I loved how we could be so similar but be our own person at the same time. I wanted my parents acceptance like Draco had more then anything, but I knew that was highly unlikely to ever happen. I sighed "We never have time for just us now." I said what had been on my mind for the past few moments. When we were at home, we could hang out for hours by ourselves , hiding from our parents. We would always talk, just like we were now, only usually it would be less serious topics. Here, there was too many people and too many things to do that we didn't have any time.
