First mischief

[devilishhikaru]

A: Courtyard

[Near the Whomping Willow there is a strangely familiar looking person, dressed up weirdly, coming out of a hole and looking around to see if there's anyone or if it's free to continue towards the school building. He's being rather sneaky (for now) and careful of anyone seeing him.]

B: Anywhere & Everywhere

[Once he's safely in the school grounds, Hikaru is looking around from his twin brother. Of course, he looks exactly like Kaoru, so it may look like he's frantically looking for something while dressed dress robes that are a bit torn from a few places. Their mother is a fashion designer after all and he happened to escape while being a model for the new brand of robes...]

Comments

B in some random hallway

[enchantressofore]

[ What the --

Okay she already knew Kaoru was worried about something the last time she saw him, but seeing him now? She looks shocked, surprised at seeing him like this. Not only is something off about him (did he change his hair?), but his state of dress, those... admittedly nice clothes torn in several places?

Stunned, Adela has to take a moment to regain herself and with absolutely no filter she just has to ask. ]

Just what the hell happened to you?

[devilishhikaru]

[Hikaru turns to look at Adela, clearly annoyed that someone's commenting to him when he's apparently busy. When he speaks, it's clear his voice is a bit different from what Kaoru's is like.]

What's that to you? Leave me alone.

[enchantressofore]

[ Whut. ]

... ... ...

Polyjuice potion?

[ Clearly that's the only reason because even when she's seen Kaoru in an 'off' mood he has never acted like this. ]

[devilishhikaru]

What?

[Of course Hikaru's tried Polyjuice before just to see how it goes, but what does that have anything to do with anything?]

I'm busy, so I don't have time to discuss potions with you.

[enchantressofore]

Well, you're not the guy I'm used to seeing with that face so sorry for that being the first thing to come to mind. You're acting too weird to be him.

[ "The guy" being Kaoru, but shh. They've never had a proper introduction so she doesn't exactly know either of their names, somehow. Kinda surprising how much someone could talk to someone else without ever knowing their name. ]

[devilishhikaru]

Oh...

[Of course there would be an issue at some point.]

Hey, that means you know Kaoru right? Do you know where he is?

[enchantressofore]

[ Give her a second.

She's gonna be mad at him later, and she lets out a frustrated sigh at the thought before shaking her head and trying to calm down. ]

I'm not in the same year or house so I don't share any classes with him, so the most likely place I could tell you to catch him is the Slytherin Common room. I can't get you in there, but I can at least show you where it is... Hikaru, right?

[ She knows Kaoru's been worried sick about him, so letting Kaoru know that Hikaru is there and okay is top priority. She can worry about the fact that now there are two later. ]

B: Somewhere

[really_sketchy]

[Namine has spent a lot of time talking to Kaoru. They have a lot in common besides just being twins and having twins whom they feel very close too. She knows that his twin isn't at school so when she sees Hikaru her first expression is confusion.

she pauses as if she isn't sure who it is.]

You look very nice.

[It sort of looks like Kaoru... but she worries that she can't tell.]

[devilishhikaru]

Huh?

[Hikaru seems very confused over the comment. Oh, right, he was still wearing the dress robes. Of course people would take notice of them.]

Thanks. [Might as well ask for directions when he's this lost already and... well, she talked to him anyway.] Hey, listen, you haven't seen someone who looks like me, have you?

[really_sketchy]

Oh. [She's smiling now.] You must be Hikaru then! Kaoru's twin.

[Her fingers lightly lace together while a sense of relief washes over her.]

He's probably in the Slythern common room.

[devilishhikaru]

You know Kaoru? [Oh right, of course Kaoru would make friends here. He was able to do that better than Hikaru was.] Right, thanks.

... and where's that?

[really_sketchy]

I can show you.

[It's easier than trying to give directions. She waves a hand and beckons Hikaru to follow her.]

Yes, I have a twin also though Kairi and I don't have the same hair color.

[devilishhikaru]

I guess you're easier to tell apart, huh? Not that I mind looking like Kaoru.

A

[behindthefakesmile]

[Fai had to wonder around outside and just so happened to come across the student. He could tell they were trying there hardest to not stand out, but they were.]

Going somewhere?

[devilishhikaru]

[Oh snap! Hikaru turns to look at the man, remaining calm even if he'd just like to run off.]

Back to school? Was just taking a walk that's all...

[behindthefakesmile]

[He did look very similar to another student he had, but he was sure that he wouldn't wear an outfit like that while in school. Maybe. He didn't know them that well if at all.]

Then you best get back to the common room. Which house do you belong to?

[devilishhikaru]

Yes sir...!

[What was the house Kaoru told him he was in? There's a 99% possibility he's in the same one after all...]

Slytherin.

[behindthefakesmile]

So off you go to the dungeon. I'll walk you most of the way.

[Because he pretty much is down there most of the time due to his class and office is down there.]

[devilishhikaru]

[... what if he walks with a teacher and they bump into Kaoru. What if. That could spell trouble.]

I can walk there by myself, sir, you don't need to go through the trouble.

B

[devilishkaoru]

[Kaoru knew he wouldn't get a reply so quickly, of course. Owl wad old and really slow after all. Will take him a few days to even get there. But he knew because of that it would take a few days for anything to even come back so he was looking at a week of worry.

It was so bad, he wasn't even attempting to trick anyone for once. He just wasn't in the mood. As he was walking to his next class however he was sure he caught something from the corner of his eye. Stopping in his steps he turned to continue walking, just to check if his hunch was right.]

Hi-Hikaru?

[devilishhikaru]

[Hikaru makes a very sudden stop when he hears Kaoru's voice. Finally...! Without a warning he dashes towards Kaoru and hugs him like he hasn't seem in forever (which is how it feels like).]

Kaoru! I missed you so much.

[devilishkaoru]

[Kaoru kept quiet for a least a minute. He knew what Hikaru could be like and he wanted him to have this moment. He knew they both needed it. However, he knew he had to bring it up soon or later.]

I missed you too, Hikari. However... How... exactly did you get here?

[devilishhikaru]

Mmh? [Of course he would ask, but Hikaru wasn't really prepared for it to be this soon. Then again, it was a rather sudden appearance so maybe it wasn't that surprising he wanted to know.]

I used the Knight Bus to get to Diagon Alley, bought a broom and flew to Hogsmaede... and then used the entrance you told me in the letters. The one under that willow.

[devilishkaoru]

[Upon hearing how exactly he got there it brought it upon him to think about something else.]

And you didn't get caught flying all the way here? Though I'm sure the Headmistress will tell you off when she finds out.

[devilishhikaru]

No. Mom probably didn't realize I was gone until I was in halfway, since she was busy arguing with someone when I left...

[That's when he knew his time had come.]

... I'm not going back.
