Year Two : New Year, New Us

"I hope you two can get along." Lady Magic stated, looking at a short girl with long straight red hair, freckles, and brown eyes, and a taller boy with blonde hair and blue eyes, with a sword on his hip.

"At least until your…" She paused glancing at a pair of younger teens, the girl taller, almost lanky, with shoulder length, curly pitch black hair that contrasted her pale skin, and grey, almost silver eyes. And the boy, the youngest of the four, with dark brown hair, and dark, forest green eyes. "…Buffers come along." She finished after a few seconds of silence.

"We always get along." The red head told her, teasingly.

Lady Magic reached behind her and pulled a golden rose with black around the edges from her hair, before handing it to the shorter girl, "Look for a rose such as this, you'll know her when you see it."

Hailey looked around the living room nervously, leaning on a broom. The Dursley's guests, she never got their names, something about a business deal, were covered in pudding, with shocked looks on their faces. Hailey couldn't blame them, they did just get pudding dumped on them. Petunia had gone pale, from shock or fear, she didn't know which. Vernon's face was slowly, but surely, going purple, with rage, his mustache twitching. Dudley didn't even notice anything had happened until Vernon started shouting.

The owl chose that moment to fly through the window.

Even the cell she was thrown in with hay for a bed when she first entered Camelot, was better than the tiny room at number 4 Privet drive with no less than five dead bolts on the door, bars on its window, and a too small cot.

And don't forget the cat door, she was fed through.

The room that the Weasley parents had her share with Ginny was better than either of them. Despite being pink.

xXx

It was awkward at first, to say the least. Percy ignored everyone and everything (except for the time he tried to argue politics with her), the Twins thought it'd be a good idea to start a prank war with someone who could use magic outside school (not that they knew that), Ronald still hated her, and she had met Ginny all of once.

She had recognized Molly and Arthur as Hunith and Balinor after she'd been there an hour. After a week, she had known Arthur longer than she had Balinor. Twice as long.

xXx

Gilderoy Lockhart was a complete idiot. Hailey didn't see the appeal like the rest of her age group. Maybe it was because she was technically married, even if the marriage didn't cross over legally from her past life yet. Then again, so was Molly, and even she seemed to see whatever appeal blonde idiots with blue eyes and a perfect smile had. Or… Maybe she did. But, at least her blonde idiot didn't scream fraud every time you looked at him.

Her brain rather quickly registered Lucius Malfoy as a threat, with his 'bow to me' posture, and the way he looked down his nose at you, even to people taller than him.

Narcissa Malfoy seemed to be a more loving type. Though not near as loving and motherly as Molly, but much better than Petunia Dursley.

She stood from her throne, as the throne room doors swung open. She met her four guests in the middle, as her guards stood a few feet back. The four bowed to her. She was the sole ruler of Camelot, going on eighteen years now.

"Rise, my sons, and daughters." She commanded. She missed her husband terribly, and mourned the fact that their twin sons and their wives would never meet him. "Now, you wouldn't be so formal, if you didn't want something, what is it?"

xXx

Ginevra 'Ginny' Molly Weasley was certainly not looking through each compartment as she walked through the corridors of the Hogwarts express. And, she certainly didn't shriek as a compartment door slid open quickly, and she was pulled into the room.

"Who do you thi-" She looked up into familiar blue eyes, cutting of her rant, only to start a new one. "Really? You could've just asked me to come in! You didn't have to kidnap me! You- You- I don't even know what to call you, because I don't know your current name!"

She started pacing, trying not to think about the diary in her book bag.

"Colin,"

She froze looking back to him.

"Colin Creevey." He finished.

She looked him over, wanting to be absolutely positive. "Ginny Weasley," She held out her hand, smiling as he kissed her knuckles, "My dear brother in-law."

xXx

Merlyn heard them out, she looked her sons in their eyes, then their wives. "My castle is your castle." She finally told them. "My refuge is your refuge. Let us open our gates to all whom are magical."

xXx

Colin watched as Ginny dug around in her book bag, eyes widening as she pulled out the golden rose. Though he hadn't seen it up close before, the black around the edges had seemingly become thicker.

"See any flowers like this?" She asked.

"I had been hoping you had." Was his answer.

xXx

Merlyn hesitated, as her children reached the throne room doors, "And, Godric?" She called out, making all four turn to her. "Remember, Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus," she looked to her youngest as well, "You too, Salazar." Before she spun on her heel, and returned to her throne
