Sunny Afternoon

Morana was sitting on the swing at one of the playgrounds behing London. It was quiet here, only warm wind was playing with her hair as she was watching London in front of her and breathing fresh air. She didn't speak, or anything else. She must admit she missed England a bit. It was beautiful place. But not more than her home, where she was leaving in few hours.

Marvolo left her room and looked around the house. morana was no where to be found, shaking her head she knew exactly where she could be. Grabbing two cups of iced tea she went out to the playground only a few blocks away. "Hiding again sister?"

"I am not," answered Morana to her sister, her eyes still lost somewhere in muggle London. "I never thought I would say this, but I think I am going to miss this place," she added, taking cup of ice tea from Marvolo.

"Of course you are, we've been here for a long time but its time for a change" she sat down on one of the swings. She didn't have to glanced at her indentical twin to know the look on her face because it was the look she wore on her own.

"Remember how I dreamt about Wolfclaw when we were younger? I would really love to see that place for real," she said dreamily. She loved Hogwarts, but Wolfclaw was something, her black heart desired secretly. "Czechia will be safer for us for now. This country is not ready yet, to see our true face," she added.

"You can only see Wolfclaw if you are a student Morana" she said tilting her head back and closing her eyes "we will see how our new mother feels"

"I heard they were surprised someone adopted us. Gaunt sisters. We are probably hard to look after," smirked Morana. She was quite proud when she found out she was heir of Slytherin and ever since then, she didn't let anyone forget it.

Marvolo twirled her ring around her finger "Speaking of being the heir to slytherin" she said with a small smile "I have something for you". Given her name sake two heirlooms were given to her whereas they could have each been given to each girl. She wore grandfather Marvolo's ring that salazar slytherin once owned and his locket, ever since they were little she knew Morana was jealous but to proud to say so.

Undoing the clasp she took off the locket, she felt the weight leave her and smiled ruefully. Turning she clasped it around her sister' neck "In honor of our new lives"

Morana looked at her sister in shock, but also with suddden happiness. "I don't know what to say," she replied and hugged her sister tightly. After they separated, she took long seconds to observe the Locket. It was ancient, clearly full of dark magic and history of the ancient house of Gaunt. "Thank you, sister," said Morana finally, with smile.

Marvolo smiled "you deserve it Morana, besides with where we are going we need some extra protection, who knows what is to be found in Czechia"

"We've never been outside of England before.It will be definitely interresting," replied Morana, still fascinated by the Locket. "So, let's drop serious topics. What about you and young Lestrange? He seems to fancy you," asked Morana. She loved gossip with her sister. She was cold to everyone but her. With Marvolo she was different person.

She smirked and shook her head "he's just a friend dear, so what if he is smitten? he is boring"

"Boring you say? And who got your attention than?" asked Morana curiously. "I mean I know you have high expectations," she added.

"no one really. why should i be looking?" she said

"I don't know. I was just curious. We didn't have much time to talk lately," said Morana, when she saw Andromeda coming to them. "Look who is coming. Middle Black sister," she pointed at her.

Marvolo leaned back on the swing, flipping upside down she hooked her feet around the chains to hold her self in place. She looked in the direction of Andromeda and smirked "Sick of living the high life Andro"

Morana hid her locked under dress and looked at Andromeda. "So what brings you here?" she asked curiously.

"One would expected this from your cousins," said Morana firmly. "Black sisters were always considered as perfect pureblood princesses. But Black brothers? I wonder how Wallburga managed to keep whole family alive," smirked Morana then. "Specialy after how precious Sirius turned up," she added.
