“The pen that writes your life story must be held in your own hand.”
Funny that, the smartest thing I’ve ever read was written on the back door of a muggle restroom. I told Wil, but he just scoffed and said it was stupid. He says that not everyone knows what is best, two minds are better than one and if you can’t have help from your family who do you turn to? He’s right I suppose. He’s always right. That’s half the problem.
Wil’s my brother. Wilbert Avery. I’m Marcia. We are both 6th year, Slytherin. Wil’s the older twin, and the wiser twin, according to him at least. It’s sort of true. I’m smarter, but smart and wise are two different things really. He’s always been the one with the common sense, the real-life smarts. He knows what to do, and I know how to do it. It’s our system, and it works for us. Mostly.
I don’t really have friends. I mean, at school I hang out with Snape and Mulciber, but they are Wil’s friends, not mine. Snape’s weird, and Mulciber…Well, he’s good looking enough, we’ve known him forever and Wil practically worships the ground he walks on. But he’s just…the way he looks at me. Like he owns me. It’s kinda creepy. Lily’s nice, she’s Snape’s friend, but she doesn’t hang out with us much. I get the feeling she doesn’t like me.
I don’t mind really, I’m used to it. Being Wil’s sister you get used to the frightened stares. The whispering. Our naturally dark hair, dark eyes and pale skin tends to be a little unsettling. And Wil can be a little…well, his sense of humor is a little dark for some peoples tastes. I just don’t like how people presume I’m the same. Because I’m quiet and don’t walk around with a stupid grin on my face all day, that makes me evil. Whatever. I don’t need friends anyway. I have Wil.
Wil’s always been the one who was there for me. Dad was hardly there, and when he was we wished he wasn’t. Mum…she’s always been a little…odd. But Wil takes care of me. Protects me. Helps me when I’m down.
Controls me.
My name is Marcia Avery, and this is my life.
