Here's a sample:
Before I start getting into Matt, Becca, Russ, and Kelly Burlingame, there is some background information that must first be made public before we start to understand the quadruplets. Their mother?s parents were both magically inclined and so was her only brother who was 5 years old than her, she appeared not to have any magical capabilities at all, but she got a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry nonetheless. School was rough for her, she found casting spells extremely hard, since she really didn?t have any magical ability, so to pass school and too make her parents proud, she stayed up long hours of every night trying to self teach herself how to use magic. Fortunately, she did have traces of her magical heritage, and was able to overcome her disability enough to pass. She chose life as a muggle after almost breaking her neck to learn magic, although she?s technically a witch, the only time her children have seen her use magic is when they visit their grandparents so she can keep them happy and not have to hear them harp on the life she chose to lead.
Their father, whose parents were also magically incline as well as her two sisters and three brothers, was also magically handicap, so to speak. Since all his siblings successfully passed through Chimney Rock, he wanted to try a different school and so went off to Hogwarts where he met his mother. They shared the same house, Hufflepuff, and would stay up together, all night if they had to, to try and figure out how to get passed their magical defect, if you would. Once passing Hogwarts, he went on to try and become a successful Auror like the children?s mother?s brother who fought side and side with Jeremy Oakenfern. He failed to do so, not even coming close to becoming as great as those two. He had already married their mother by that time, and no one was surprised by the wedding, they all were excepting them to get married as soon as they turned 17, but they waited until they saw what life would hand them. They both chose normal lives, so that their children would have more than one choice of what life they would like to live, whether they chose to be a muggle or not, they would take pride in either of their decisions.
Now with quadruplets, Matt is the only one out of the four who shows any magical capabilities and can use a bit of magic, thanks to the grandparents on both sides. Matt was the most favored of their grandchildren since he was the only one that could use magic, or was aware of magic. So they taught him a few spells and how to handle not having any accidents, always buying him stuff and spoiling him silly. Although he was the most spoiled, he would much rather spend time with his siblings, finding their grandparents a little overwhelming. Kelly, the youngest, has shown some signs, their grandparents swear they saw her have a few mishaps, but Kelly says differently. Russell, who is the second youngest, has actually had two phenomenon?s that their parents can remember, which set their grandparents into action to try and teach Russ, but to this day they can?t get it out of him. Rebecca, the most disliked of the four in their grandparents eyes, is a disgrace in their eyes, and Rebecca doesn?t want anything to do with them. Nevertheless, the all get invitations to Chimney Rock, they seem convinced that they all are magically inclined.
Dressed in blue jeans, a black shirt, and his navy blue robe, Matt made his way down to the breakfast table after waking up early. He had a feeling that something was to come to day, but he wasn?t sure what it was, it was just a feeling he had. Becca came down in her usual carpenter pants and loose white T-shirt, ready to take on the day and continue work on her souped up muscle car that she swears she?ll have working perfectly by the time she?s old enough to drive it. Russ, who was dressed in an unusual mahogany robe, with his usual blue jean shorts and comfortably fitting green T-shirt, he really had no clue why he wanted to wear the robe that his grandparents had bought him, he figured he?d try something new. Kelly came down to breakfast still dressed in her nightgown, too lazy to care to put on any close, as far as she was concerned she?d just go right back to her room and sleep after she ate.
?Good morning,? they all greeted at the same as they filed into the dining room. Their parents were both beaming happily at all four of them as they sat down.
?What?s for breakfast?? Kelly asked as she sat down at the table, not seeing any thing ready.
?Pancakes, but they?re still cooking,? their father said, a little too brightly for any of the children to feel comfortable. They all exchanged worried looks as they turned to face their overly excited parents.
?So?? Matt said, after breaking what seemed like an eternity of silence. ?You two seem happy?? he continued lamely.
?Well, we just received four letters. One addressed to each of you,? their father said as he passed out the four letters that had very official looking seals on them. The children exchanged worry looks again before their father coaxed, ?Go on, open them.?
One by one, the quadruplets took out a letter identical to the others. Matt and Russ beamed happily as they finished reading, while Becca and Kelly shifted nervously in their seats. ?I?m definitely going?well if it?s alright with you two,? Matt said immediately, sharing his parent?s enthusiasm.
?Then I?m going to!? Kelly piped up; Kelly then shut her mouth immediately. What was she saying!? She had no magical powers?but it was go with Matt, or stay with Becca, and if that were the case she?d be going with her eldest brother.
Their parents looked over at Kelly with surprised, but then soon understood where their daughter was coming from and just nodded, and then turned their attention to Russ and Becca.
With Matt babbling excitedly into her ear, coaxing her to come, she looked over at Russ; who returned her uneasy look. Russ, who admired his brother, knew how irrational he could be, and how unpredictable he could become, he admired Becca because she normally used more common sense, so whatever Becca decided to do, he?d follow her. After what seemed like hours, maybe days, Becca finally smiled and nodded at Russ. ?I?ll go too,? Becca announced, not taking her eyes off Russ who was brimming over with happiness. Becca really didn?t want to go, despised everything there was about magic, but she knew Russ would do want she did, and also knew how badly he wanted to go. She?d endure whatever life threw at her to see her younger brother smile and be happy, since he didn?t do a lot of that, and it worried her that Russ wasn?t content with life.
Their parents stared at her in disbelief, and then again, shook their head in understanding, not needing her to voice her decision again. ?Well, we?ll just reply to the school saying you?ll attend!? their mother said as she took out her wand and with a swift flick of her wrist, four owls appeared on the kitchen table, and she tied a letter to each of the owls, and sent them on their way with the replies.
?Well, breakfast is ready,? she called to the group as she sat the plates with the pancakes on them in front of each of them.
After eating breakfast, Becca sneaked off to the garage, which kept her car, while the others went back to their rooms, to look over the list of books and other things that were necessary. She had no worry about money, her grandparents and rich and successful uncles would give them the money that wasn?t her problem. Her problem was the fact that all her life she was lived a normal life, and now she was being forced into a strange and bizarre world that she only knew when she went to visit her relatives, and even then it was a small portion of it.
?Hey,? a voice said from behind Becca, who was sitting in the driver seat of her 1967 Ford Mustang convertible. Turning around she saw Matt leaning against the door leading into the house with his arms crossed. His easy appearance could not hide the worry that had spread across his face. ?That was a great thing you did back there,? Matt continued, keeping his voice soft and compassionate, mimicking how he truly felt.
?What was I supposed to do? Let Russ be left behind? He was really eager to go!? Becca protested, a tear escaping her eyes, and sliding down her soft cheek. ?He looks up to you, ya know?? Becca whispered as she turned back around in the seat and stared down at the steering wheel.
?Yeah I know. He also admires you, Bec,? Matt said his voice as soft as it previously was. ?He would have stayed to keep you company, if you chose to stay.?
?I know?that?s why I couldn?t disappoint him?? Becca sighed, another tear rolling off her cheek. ?What was I supposed to do? You would have done the same exact thing if you were in my position.?
?Yes, I probably would have,? Matt admitted as he took a seat beside his sister. ?But you feel you?ve let down yourself and your ambitions by accepting to go,? Matt added as he looked over to his sister, who didn?t return the look, and set her eyes firmly on the steering wheel, but comprehending every word that Matt spoke.
Becca slowly nodded as tears started rolling freely down her cheeks, a whimper so followed as a sign that she agreed with him. Matt hated seeing his sister this upset, she was tougher than this, or at least looked it. Her tears contrasted greatly with her grease-smudged face. Taking a deep breath, Matt finally said, more forcefully this time; ?Get a hold of yourself.?
?What?? Becca complained as she turned her tear-worn face towards him. ?You were the last person I thought I?d hear that from,? she spat, her tears stopping abruptly and wiping her eyes to prevent any further tears.
?Get a hold of yourself. Why are you crying over something like this? You?ll be back at Christmas, and you get a huge summer break! You have plenty of time to work on your stupid car,? Matt said, finally letting it known what he came down here for.
?It?s not stupid!? she protested, but not making any move to remove herself.
?You can?t spend your life working on this thing! Who knows?you might find you like magic! You never know what?s going to happen!? Matt said calmly, but still forcefully. He knew why she loved the care, but at the same time he knew it was completely absurd to want to slave away at the machine her whole life. When Becca didn?t reply, Matt got out of the car and left her there in the garage to think about what he had just said and to meditate on what she should do in the future.
?Hey there squirt!? Matt said as he entered Russ?s bedroom, finding Russ happily humming to himself as he flipped through the channels on his TV. Russ looked over to Matt and grinned in reply, and made room on his bed so that Matt could join him. ?Anything good on??
?Eh?just a few cartoons, and a antique car show, which Becky would sure like,? Russ replied with a rather bored sigh as he continued to flip through the channels.
?You excited for school?? Matt continued, as he laid back beside Russ and watched as the channels changed as Russ pressed the button.
?Nervous,? Russ admitted as he turned the TV off and threw the remote aside. ?You know how I am around strangers.?
?Yeah?I?m sure you?ll meet a lot of new friends there. You just have to try harder to be more confident in yourself,? Matt said easily, as he sat up and looked down at Russ with a smile.
Russ returned the smile and then replied, ?I guess?you?ll be there with me won?t you??
?Of course! I wouldn?t have it any other way! Besides all of us are going!? Matt reminded him. ?Even if we don?t get into the same house one of us is bound to end up with you!?
Russ smiled at that and Matt took his hand and ruffled his hair and set off out of his room. ?See ya, bud. Got to go check on tiny,? Matt said, referring to Kelly, who was the youngest of the four. Russ and Kelly had been debating on whom was taller than the other had, although they were exactly the same height, they both tried to argue that the other was a hair smaller, which lead to a heated argument. Russ giggled at the gesture and watched as Matt left his room.
?Hey, Matt,? Kelly said dryly, as Matt entered the room hoping to surprise her with a teasing remark of ?you think your taller than Russ, shortie?? but Kelly beat him to it.
?How did you know it was me?? Matt asked as he flopped down on the floor beside Kelly, who was watching her favorite episode of Loony Toons.
?You always makes sure you visit each of us after breakfast before you head off to your own room to sleep,? Kelly replied, equally dry toned.
?Yeah well, can?t have you guys saying that I don?t talk!? Matt replied pleasantly, used to her sarcastic tone. ?Excited for school??
?I guess?? she said, a bit more nervous now that Matt had her thinking of Chimney Rock. ?I?m not sure about it though??
?Why not?? Matt asked, suspecting that she knew something that he didn?t, which really bugged him, because she normally kept it to herself and left him guessing.
?You and I both know I?m not magically inclined,? Kelly replied weakly. ?But why did they send me an invitation??
?Obviously they know something you don?t,? Matt said with a wink, which drew a grumble from Kelly. ?Well I?m going to go take my nap, since you don?t want to talk,? Matt said foreigning anger.
?Knock yourself out,? Kelly replied as she crawled up in her own bed and went to sleep like she had planned to do before she got the letter.
Kelly?s eyelids fluttered up as a knock erupted from her door. Jumping out of her bed, realizing that it was almost lunchtime, Kelly threw on a pair of shorts and an orange T-shirt before opening the door to see who was knocking. Becca was standing there looking half amused at Kelly?s mess of hair that was tangled all the way down to her waist, and her quickly put together wardrobe. ?What?? Kelly asked, slightly embarrassed that she didn?t have any time to take a shower and get dressed properly.
?Mom wants us all in the living room. Time to go get our supplies for school,? Becca said, oddly happy for the depressed mood she was in a few hours before. From the looks of Kelly?s face, Becca could tell she didn?t quite get what she meant. Becca rolled her eyes and said exasperated, ?The supplies that are on the list that you received from your letter. Now come on, mum has the flow powder ready.? Grabbing Kelly by the arm, Becca gave her no time to register as she pulled along with her, quite merrily as she skipped down the stairs with Kelly being pulled along with her.
When they finally reached the living room, Matt and Russ snorted with laughter at Kelly?s hair before being slammed by their mother. ?Ready?? she asked as she looked at the two girls entering the room, ignoring the boys continue laughter, of course it didn?t help matters that their father was also looking funny at Kelly?s hair.
When Kelly got to Matt and Russ?s side, and their giggle fit stopped she whispered, ?What?s Becca all excited about? I thought she?d be the one who was extremely upset about this.?
Matt rolled his eyes and replied, ?She just learned that a really good Quidditch player, you know the one she thinks is hot? Is attending Chimney Rock this year. That was enough to coax her into a better mood.? Matt emphasized the word ?hot? but making quotation gestures.
?That would do it?? Kelly sighed and rolled her eyes at the thought as well. Matt wasn?t the only one who thought their sister was a hypocrite.
?Now now, let?s all stop this nonsense,? their father said as he threw a bit of the flow powder into the fire that had been started at the hearth. ?Rebecca, you first.?
With a nod, Rebecca stepped firmly into the fireplace and shouted, ?Mysterium Square!? Vanishing in a puff of flames, the others watched in amazement, she really COULD do magic! Or maybe it was just the flow powder?or has she been hiding something all along?
