A/N: Thanks to all the people that have read the first part of my story: "An Unexpected Planet" if you enjoy the story please drop me a review as to how to make the tale better. I am trying to figure out how to post chapters so I will be posting chapter 2 in two parts just to see if I am doing it right. Just as an FYI to the HP fans out there, this story will be getting very graphic in the second and third act… hope you stick around for that. I will be adding the appropriate tags as warnings take them seriously cause I ain't playin’, LOL. Thanks, Chkokt Tags: friends

Chapter 2: Up, Through the Trapdoor: Part 1

Lavender Brown caught sight of Harry and Ron as they descended the spiraling silver divination ladder. Lavender stood waiting with a grim, determined look on her face, her back against the damp stone pillar that held up the hallway that led to North Tower's entrance. The cold stone pillar didn't bother Lavender nearly as much as it used to during her first year. She was a fourth year student now, acclimated to the drafts and the cold of the castle; the feel of cold stone in the fall and hot rocks in during the beginning of the spring months.

The gentle draft that kept lifting her slightly curled hair was lost on the raven-haired witch with the swinging thick black braid. Pavarti Patil bounced around trying her hardest to force her friend to pay attention to her warning.

Lavender tore her targeted gaze away from the two wayward boys, long enough to raise a hand in a crass attempt to shoo away her obviously upset, best friend, Pavarti. Lavender's rapidly waving hand, her light purple painted nails streaking the air between them, warding off all common sense that tried to dissuade the vengeful student witch.

Purple warning ignored, Pavarti kept buzzing around Lavender, a frantic living gnat; incessantly trying to turn her fellow student from her this current destructive course of action. "Lavender… Lavender…" Pavarti said in a loop, as she kept angling her neck trying to lock into her girlfriend's eyes.

Lavender knew how serious this was too, that’s why she needed Pavarti aid. But with or without it she had decided, it was done.

By shifting her own delicately soft hand back and forth in Pavarti's face; Lavender kept blocking Pavarti’s gaze. Avoiding every time her best friend tried to make eye contact with the affronted little witch.

As rude as Lavender was raising her hand to Pavarti like that; Pavarti, still needed Lavender to reconsider what she was planning. "Lav, you've got to think about the consequences. It's not worth it." Two could play at that game as she evoked her soul-twins secret name; Pavarti pleaded; her voice dripping with her genuine teen angst.

That did it; got her wayward sister's attention.

Lavender dropped her hand and looked at Pavarti almost apologetically. She turned and looked at her friend, honestly gave her a full audience. Even though they wore the same school uniforms as all the other girls in Gryffindor, Pavarti and Lavender's kits always seemed to fit a bit more pleasingly. Being a style mavenn, Lavender took credit for how nice Pavarti looked now, now that she had heeded her best friends advice. Lavender couldn't return the favor and listen to Pavarti, not this time. As right as her best friend was Lavender she just wouldn't. That boy had to pay!

"It's worth it to me Pav." The shapely witch returned so tenderly. Pleadingly. Lavender didn’t want to do it but she had to shut Pavarti down quick or the boys would get away.

"Lav" and "Pav", their secret 'soul-twin' names, whenever invoked they both knew the stakes were always seriously high. Lavender christened them both that very first night, their first year when they became friends:

Pavarti was having a hard time because Padma was sorted into Ravenclaw; while Pavarti was put in Gryffindor. Padma hadn't seemed the least bit upset that they were separated, she even acted a bit put out when Pavarti went over to the Ravenclaw table to commiserate. Padama was happily, deeply enthralled in an intellectual debate with three witches, and a short gnome like wizard, in a pencil thin long black bow tie. They were talking animatedly about jinxes vs, hexes vs, curses.

Pavarti didn’t notice that the short wizard had on teachers robs, she just burst in, and interrupted him as he was flicking his wand all over the place. She desperately needed her sister now.

Embarrassed by the interruption; a mortified Padma; the smarter, younger sister, went so far as to grab Pavartiby the arm and not to kindly usher her twin, older sister away from her new friends. Finding a quiet corner where they could talk.

Their conversation didn't last long, Padma down played Pavarti's anxiety over their disconnection, her fear of washing out. Then sent her sister back to the Gryffindor tables all alone. A small mouse brown haired big eyed girl with full cheekbones over heard what Padma had said; Pavarti didn’t care she was way past scarred to care what anyone thought.

She just sat alone until the Headmaster made the announcement that it was time for them all to turn into their inter-houses’ common rooms.

How it had hurt. When the Prefects came and led all the first years into their new houses for tonight and all nights going forward for the rest of the school year.

Once in the Common Room they were allowed to play around for a bit while the Prefects assigned them rooms, then they were separated again into boys and girls, yet again after that, still into four girl groups. Pavarti hadn’t noticed any of the girls in her quartet; her personal gloom was suffocating. Did they ever stop separating people here at Hogwarts? Would they go so far as to separate Pavarti from her very soul? Is this what magic schools were all about? Separation! So many questions panicked the child witch that she retreated to her bed, drew the curtains and was wracked with sobs, abandoned.

It was the loneliest night Pavarti ever spent, so very far away from the twin she loved. Who she felt didn’t love her back as much. Like her unbraided hair Pavarti felt unraveled. She had never been alone, never by herself; she clutched her tear soaked pillow. Pavarti wasn't just scared she was terrified. She cried all the harder into the silent night, for it.

Pavarti heard the rings of her four poster draw back and then close again. Felt the mattress sink softly with what she knew was the added familiar weight of a young girl. Years of sleeping with a twin had trained her well.

'Padma!' she thought, elated. Someway, somehow her sister found her way, here to her side, when she needed her most.

It wasn't Padma! It was the little girl, the first year who had overheard the sisters talking in the Great Hall at supper. She was not much bigger than Pavarti, but she had large kind eyes. Wore the most beautiful purple cotton embroidered nightgown. Where Pavarti was a smooth cocoa brown, the little girl held a pale almost china white contrast.

Pavarti smiled remembeing how Lavender came to her when she was crying in her four-poster, held her and promised to be her true sister friend, her soul-twin. Lav and Pav, she called them; it was their little secret. In a flash it was that easy they were both reborn that night, newly bonded sister-twins.

After that the rest was history.

How they had both talked and laughed so much that night Pavarti didn't know when her tears dried. Only that all thoughts of being alone were spirited away in an instant by her new sister witch. Together Lavender Brown and Pavarti Patil , they learned each others names, shared their fears, their dreams and everything in between. And when they finally fell asleep exhausted their warm bodies innocently comforted each other, warmed by the magic fireplaces, each assured the other that they would never be alone again.

A true friendship was born.

So much so, that when Padma came back around a bit homesick for her sister; it was Pavarti who had a new strength of her own. Pavarti assured her younger twin, that their natural bond was still unique and intact. Soon enough all was forgiven between the two girls, they returned to a semblance of normal. The sisters were, as they were; as much as they could be in the new enviornment of school .

Only one secret difference; Padma wasn't Pavarti's only unique sister bond.

Lav’ and Pav’ forever referred to their secret bond; a memory of the time when two scarred first year girls were alone.

Pavarti eyes misted at her friend’s determination. And it pissed her off even more knowing that, that absent minded, arse, Ron could affect someone she loved that deeply in the first place.

The selfsame determination made Lavender grit her witch's teeth as she reoriented on the two boys at the far end of the hall.

"Its going to happen." Lavender’s stoic look plastered solidly across her face, like the gargoyles etched in stones all around Hogwarts.

   "Humph!" Pavarti said stepping back to take Lavender in a fully, she had, had enough. "Well then! Okay, if you’re going to do this, then you’re doing it alone!" Half of Lavender's lips curled up into what Pavarti knew was her trademarked, knowing smile. Pavarti knew that smile; it was pure trouble. She knew, because every time that smile appeared, Pavarti had been hip deep into the trouble, right along side her.

Pavarti, frustrated shook her head, turned and stalked off mad. Her glossy black braid, swinging back and forth across her back with a rage all of its own. Savagely the thick hip length braid barely missed whacking a first year Hufflepuff kid in his face, as she headed toward the corridor entrance and the Great Hall.

Resigned that her best friend was fully set on doing this all alone. Dejected, Pavarti joined Padma waiting by the staircase entrance.

Padma's arms arm opened up and folded in around her flustered twin sister, protectively. Pavarti rejoined Padma, allowed herself to sink into her sure embrace. Padma was not fool, she knew things had changed since first year, knew Pavarti was closer to her friend, Lavender Brown, over there, than to her natural born twin.

Jealously possessive Padma ushered Pavarti away from Lavender. Pavarti glanced back once to see her soul-twin still standing alone; before the full figured girl squared back her shoulders and started in on her targets. Looking ahead of Lavender, Pavarti spotted the boys, Ron and Harry, as they settled at the base of Trelawney's silver ladder. senslessly yamering about all of nothing important.

As Padma deftly moved them through the scrim of students. Pavarti lost everyone in the hustle of people passing her, the sea of new and old faces blurring, blocking her view back.

   Padma made sure her sister couldn’t see what was happening with Lavender behind them, she knew, Pavarti's resolve would crack as soon as she saw Lavender in any kind of trouble. Padma led Pavarti quickly on down the stone stairs, outside into the fresh air, plunging them into the swell of students on the Hogwarts ground and on out of sight of the North Tower.
