The Wrong House

Chapter 1

Harry and Ginny Potter were awoken by a crash on the early hours of September 1st.

Ginny immediately sat up straight as if somebody had thrown ice down her back, Harry just groaned and put his head under the pillow.

"MUM, DAD WAKE UP!" came a yell of an eleven year old girl "We'll be late!"

Ginny sighed and held out here arms to hug the eleven year old, which was her daughter. The girl had long raven black hair, like her father and deep chocolate brown eyes like her mother. The girl rolled her eyes and reluctantly hugged her mother. She had always been a bit of a tomboy

"Good morning Lily" said Ginny

"Mum don't call me that its Lil'" Lily Potter, named after her late Grandmother, had shortened her name to Lil' to escape the name's relation to pretty flowers and such.

"Hey Dad wake up" she said to her father…Harry made another inaudible groan from under the pillow. Lil' smirked and her brown eyes flashed mischievously she crawled across the bed over her mother and leaned over her Father. She picked up the pillow off of his face and yelled in his ear

"WAKE UP!" she yelled. Harry screamed

"LILY POTTER DON'T BE RUDE!" said Ginny as Harry grabbed his ear in agony. But Harry, instead of being angry with her, just narrowed his eyes and grinned back

"Now then this means war!" he said. Lil' shrieked with laughter and fled the room laughing as her father jumped out of bed and chased her out of the room also laughing. Ginny rolled her eyes and got up her self. It was going to be a busy morning. Today Lily was starting Hogwarts; she had been excited for weeks. They had bought her school supplies a few days ago. How upset Lil' was that she could not get a broomstick until her second year. However, she was not a brilliant flier, pretty average actually. She did not take after her Mother or Father in that respect.

Harry, Ginny and Lil' all walked up along 9 3/4 to where the train was. Lil' was happy to see a familiar face near her - a young girl with flaming red hair that was curled in natural ringlets. Behind her were Ron Weasley and his wife Hermione Weasley

"Hey Jess!" called Lil'. Jessica Weasley turned around and looked over at Lil from under thick dark eyelashes "Hi Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione!"

"Hello Lil'" said Jessica grinning from ear to ear "Thank G-d you're here. Rescue me from these two" she said indicating her Mum and Dad. Jessica was not keen on her parents. She was extremely pretty and she knew it. Where as Ron and Hermione were never the most attractive people. Jessica always considered herself higher than most of the people around her; she did not like being connected to the Weasleys…she was a bit of a snob. But Lil' loved her cousin anyway, they were best friends.

"Whats happened then Jess?" Lil' asked watching their parents greet each other warmly

"Well apparently they just saw some old enemy from school… well you can imagine – complain, complain, complain" she said rolling her eyes.

Harry over heard them talking

"Who did you see Ron?" he asked his best friend

"Malfoy-" said Ron with an expression as if he had swallowed a particularly bitter lemon

"-And Slutkinson" finished Hermione

"Oh yeh… they got married didn't they, Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy!" said Ginny nodding.

Draco Malfoy had been a Death Eater for a while. It had been his job to kill Dumbledore. But Draco was not brave enough to actually spill the blood. The Dark Lord had forced him into accepting the role after being threatened by Lord Voldemort at pain of death for him and his family. When Malfoy had been taken to court (after the Dark Lord fell) he had not been given a full sentence in Azkaban as the Ministry found him innocent of murder and that his joining the Death Eaters had been completely justifiable as it was only to save his family. Well someone as rich as Malfoy could afford a good lawyer, no?

"Look there they are!" said Hermione nodding her head towards the train. There stood a tall handsome blonde man with an arrogant face. He wore long black robes and was looking down his nose at the people around him

"You know I always thought he looked like his Dad…turns out I was wrong, he looks so much like a woman now I would say he's more like his Mum" said Harry thoughtfully,

Ginny giggled. Next to Malfoy appeared a woman with very violent curves under maroon red robes. She had dark hair in a bobbed haircut and a very poutey mouth.

"And Slutkinson is still Slutkinson" said Ron. They all let out a loud laugh. The blonde man, Malfoy must have heard them, as he turned his head towards the laugh. His eyes met Harry and Ron's. The three men glared at each other. Malfoy then smirked and walked towards them

"Well, well, well, didn't think I'd see you here, Potter. Oh and look you brought your little friends along, the two Weasels and the Mudblood!" he raised his eyebrows menacingly

"Shut up Malfoy!" Lily snapped suddenly. Malfoy looked down at the small skinny girl who was frowning at him

"And who is that Potter?"

"'THIS' happens to be my daughter Malfoy!" said Harry shaking with anger

"Ah yes you and little Weasel…yes well she always did worship the ground you walked upon Potter. And lets see…" he looked down at Jessica "Red hair, too many curls…Wow Weasel did you drug Granger to get her to marry you"

Ron's ears went red and looked as if he was ready to punch Malfoy in the nose.

"And what are you doing here Malfoy…did you and Slutkinson tie the knot too" Draco Malfoy's hand grabbed his wand. Harry and Ron did the same thing; Ginny and Hermione rolled their eyes

"Oh get back in your kennels all of you! We're not at school any more" said Ginny pulling Harry back. Harry sighed and put away his wand. Malfoy smirked

"That's right Potter do as she says" Malfoy turned away from them and headed back to Parkinson.

Ron growled with anger "I wish he had been locked up in Azkaban for good"

Hermione looked scandalised "Ron he was innocent…what would you have done if You-know-who had threatened to kill your family"

"Yeh but Malfoy should be locked up for just being Malfoy," said Ron mumbling

"Crap! Look at the time you two had better get on the train" said Ginny looking down at Lil' and Jessica. Ginny managed to give a rushed kiss to Lil' before she recoiled. Harry managed to place his hand on her hand and mess her hair up. She preferred this to hugging. Jessica hurriedly kissed Hermione and Ron then waved goodbye to Ginny and Harry. Lil' grabbed hold of Jessica's hand and they both ran onto the train through the nearest entrance. The clock stroke 11 o'clock, the train whistled and began to move along the tracks…their year at Hogwarts was just about to begin.
