Oh! The Announcement Board, eh? Oh well, Jackie made a mental note of that. It was so pathetic not knowing what you ought to do!! She listened to Mr. Recard's speech and then turned back to Holli.




'Oh! Well, haven't heard of him. Hope I will, sometime.' Jackie smiled. Then groaned. No differences! This was bad. Good for the pranksters, maybe, but their victims were gonna be hit hard when these two put their mind into it.

'Well, I can't see any. Which doesn't actually mean much, coz my eyesight isn't all that great. I'm not blind or anything. Just not very sharp-eyed.' Jackie frowned.

Holli nodded then chuckled. 'Yeah, this will be great for us pranking you all...' Holli smiled mischieviously. 'Ah, not sharp-eyed, I getcha! I've got pretty good eyesight, I need to, if I'm to prank! I need to see teachers coming from the other side of the corridor, so it comes in handy!' Holli beamed.

Maine looked up at Armen as he spoke. Okay, so basically Maine just had to check the announcement board on her way out, and they'd get to work tomorrow or sometime in the verynear future. Easy enough.

"Got it, Armen!" she said, not really trying to be heard over the chatter... Just in case he was listening. Cause Maine didn't feel like shouting. There'd be enough of that tomorrow morning in court.



Maine laughed, and it somehow managed to sound musical. Strange...

"Yes, you were!" she managed between peals of laughter. "Yup, two more chasers and a seeker!"



Maine smiled at the other person talking to Holli.

"Actually, there is a visible difference... Sort of..." she said. "Allie's much clutzier!"

"Hi, I'm Maine!" she introduced herself.



Maine stood up and smiled softly at Leo. Then she took the stacks from him and put them into cardboard boxes to drop them off at the work area, and rested them against her hip.

Summoning her cloak wandlessly, she slung it over her free arm. She loved the snow, winter, the beauty of nature when it rested, Leo... Wait, Leo?! Maine, he's your friend!

"Let's go." she echoed softly, actually feeling light for the first time in a long time.

She was having lunch with Leo! Leo Black! Her friend, She sternly reminded herself. But still, having lunch with Leo! Oh, how her heart soared...

'I'm sure we could get those easily! Oh my Godric, I just got an awesome idea that someone only as Quidditch mad as me would think of. Ministry Quidditch. All Departments against each other. We could show the MLE's we're better by WINNING!' Holl said excitedly, thinking it was a pretty good plan... Ministry Quidditch. That'd be epic.

'OH YEAH! Yeah, Allie's probably got more bruises, but you can't see them, they've been healed!' Holli laughed.

"We sure could!" Maine laughed. "You know what, Holli? That's a great idea!"

"Even though the MLE-ers aren't that bad... They're really quite nice..." she muttered.

Holli nodded happily. 'I might just ask Mr Recard about it! It would be great, we could meet people from the other Departments, and we'd all get along!' Holli beamed.

Jackie laughed. Holli certainly was a funny person. 'Probably that's why I never will become a prankster. No eyesight for it. Neither a compliant prankster twin.' Jackie smiled. There was no way she could ever be a prankster. She was too sweet, even if she did say it so herself.

'O yea?' Jackie turned to Maine. 'Well, something to look out for, then.' Jackie winked at Maine. 'Jackie.' Jackie smiled.

Holli laughed. 'Yeah, pranking's like... My life! Without it, there'd be nothing!' she said dramatically, holding her hand to her heart. Yeah, she could be a drama queen, but it was fun! Then she chuckled. 'Yeah, having a twin helps...' she winked.

"im new hear to" replyed Andie thinking what her first job could possibly be

"Is it in halfs do i not count." laughed Andie. "Well you will soon see what i can do" she replied grinning from ear to ear.

Holli shook her head, amused, and placed a hand on Andie's shoulder. 'Andie, Andie, Andie... I'm afraid you can't be as good as us! If you went to Hogwarts about the same time as us, which you did, you must remember us? Our fame surpasses us, I hear. Many have remembered us! Do you remember the clothes prank? When boys clothes were hung up around the school? Us!' she said, grinning happily. Yeah, she was proud of what she and Allie did. Most definitely.

Andie tried to remember all of it but her usless brain was letting her down on this one " Forgetting things is so annoying... but it will come back to me just wait a few years." Andie said laughing.

Holli gaped at her, mockingly, and held her hand to her heart. 'Alas! You hurt me so! You forget our amazing pranks!' she groaned.

"Ive only forgotten 1 so far and thats an achivment" Andie laughed. "I loved the one when *FILL IN THE GAP WITH PRANK HERE*" Oh how Andie loved that prank

'Ah, yes, the "spike everyone's drinks wih nosebleed nougats and puking pastilles!" prank? One of my favourites too!' she grinned, remembering the time. That had been a pretty cool prank. 'Ooh, and when me and Allie charmed a snowman to chase first years!? That was hilarious!' Holli laughed.

"that was amazing i was a victim of the nosebleed one, yhe took AGES for it to stop, but it got my out of History of Magic so thanks." Andie patted Holli on the back.

Jackie laughed. Holli was SUCH a drama queen! Between squeals of laughter, she said. 'I can't imagine you not pranking.' Jackie stifled her giggles and decided to go on another topic. 'How do you feel, getting this job and all. You new here?'

Jackie heard somebody saying that he was a victim of the twins' pranks. She looked at him. 'Aww.. you were a victim? Oh well, you probably should've know better than to take stuff from these two.' Jackie smiled mischievously. 'I'm Jackie, by the way. And you are..?' She waited for him to complete. He looked like a newbie here, like she was. But she'd better make sure. Looks were deceiving.

Holli laughed. 'Well, getting out of HoM is brilliant, so you're welcome!' she grinned mischieviously.
'Ooh, I know, I can't either!' Holli giggled. 'Ooh, I was REALLY happy, I never expected to work at the Ministry! No, I'm not new... You are, aren't you?' Holli smiled.

'Ah, but we got the whole of Hogwarts with that one, no-one got away except us!' Holli chuckled.

Andie laughed "Im Andie Jordan im new here yourself?" replied as she smiled.
"Thank you i got told that lesson was one of the most boring" Andie grinned.

'Ah, we set the record for causing the most pupils to go into the hospital wing at once!' Holli chuckled, remembering their teachers saying so. That had been an achievement.

'I remember that,' Allie grinned, appearing at Holli's shoulder almost as if she had apparated. 'It was so funny,' she laughed, 'but the teachers didn't seem to think so, but then again, some of them got rather annoyed with us.' She smiled reminiscantly, remembeing her school day and all the pranks she and Holli had pulled...

Holli turned to find her twin by her side. This was how they usually stood. Holli slightly in front, on the left, Allie on the right. Neither knew why. It was just something they did. 'Ooh, I know, we got a month's worth of detention for that, didn't we?' Holli chuckled reminiscently. She sighed. 'And now we need to prank these people...' she whispered so quietly, that only Allie'd be able to hear.

Andie got slightly confused then came to her senses that they were twins "Well congrats to you both." Andie grinned

Holli chuckled and winked at Allie., 'Hey, I'm Allie!' she smiled, going along with the old "swap name" trick.

Laughing Andie said "Yhe i got slightly confused Holli and thank you for introducing your other half" she said grinning.

Holli raised an eyebrow. 'Wrong twin.' she grinned. People could be really clueless...
