Chapter Two

The morning of September 1st drew quickly and Juliet could scarcely believe that she would be starting a Wizarding School today. The funny thing is that Dudley was more excited than she was he didn't have to be to Smeltings until later in the day and would see Juliet off. He had woken Juliet up at 6 o'clock in the morning. She quickly dressed in her jeans in a t-shirt thinking Wizarding robes would draw to much attention at the train station.

Entering the kitchen, she saw Hunter and Aunt Petunia already making breakfast, a cup of peppermint tea waiting for her on the table. Dudley was already there eating his breakfast of pancakes and bacon. As soon as she sat Hunter put a bowl of fresh mix fruit.

"Eat up. You'll be on the train until dinner," said Hunter said walking out of the kitchen. She knew he was going to get her trunk and Hedwig's cage.

"Listen to him Julie I don't want you getting hungry. Arabella made your lunch but I want you to eat."

"Okay, Auntie Petunia," Juliet smile and popped a blueberry into her mouth. After a quiet breakfast, she went to the living room and sat down on the sofa next to her trunk. She had to wait for Aunt Petunia to finish the dishes.

A few hours later, they reached King's Cross at half past ten. Petunia, lead them to Platform nine and ten recalling the times she was forced to come see Lily off.

"How do we get onto the platform?" Juliet asked meekly.

"Oh, I'll show you." Petunia smiled taking hold of Julie's trolley. They pushed Juliet's trolley around and stared at the barrier. It looked very solid.

They started to walk toward it. People jostled him on their way to platforms nine and ten. But they walked more quickly. They were going to crash right into that barrier and then she'd be in trouble — leaning forward on his cart, they broke into a heavy run — the barrier was coming nearer and nearer — they wouldn't be able to stop — the cart was out of control — they were a foot away — Julie closed her eyes ready for the crash — It didn't come… she kept on running… she opened her eyes. A scarlet steam engine was waiting next to a platform packed with people. A sign overhead said Hogwarts' Express, eleven o'clock.

"That was scary," Juliet sighed. Dudley and Hunter walked in behind them Dudley laughing about amazing it was. Platform Nine and Three Quarters, was only a bit different from the normal platforms that Juliet had seen. This platform was vividly colored and had a bright red sign 'Hogwarts Express'.

"Write all the time," Petunia whispered. Juliet nodded hugging each member of her family. Hunter hand her a brown paper bag with her lunch in it and a tin filled with Mrs. Figg's fresh baked cookies.

"Hunter, take care of my Aunt. If you hurt her I will kill you," said Juliet smirking and Hunter gave her a small wink.

"Go find a compartment," Petunia smiled and waved her away. Juliet pressed on through the crowd pulling the trunk behind her with one hand and the other hand holding Hedwig's cage, Juliet tried to find an empty compartment on the train for her to sit in. That was a difficult job, because almost all the compartments were full. She finally found an empty compartment near the end of the train. Putting the cage in the train compartment first, she went back out for her trunk. While managing to pull it in the compartment, she didn't know if she would be strong enough to put it in the baggage carrier. She tried – unsuccessfully – to heave the trunk on the seat opposite to where she intended to sit, but it slipped and fell on her foot.

"Want a hand?" she turned around to see the compartment door open and two red-headed boys peaked in with grins.

"Yes, I really need some help. If it's not too much problem."

The boys grinned and heaved the trunk up to the carrier like it was a feather. "First years normally don't succeed in doing that," said the twin on the left side, and the twin on the right added, "That's why all of us upper years go around the train and help where help is needed."

The other twin nodded and bowed to Juliet, introducing himself. "I'm Fred Weasley and this is George. You can call us Gred and Forge," he said with a wink.

"Juliet, you may call me Julie. Are you guys related to Percy?"

"Yes. He's our older brother." Both said at the same time. Juliet looked over both boys so she would embarrass herself by calling them the wrong name. She searched both faces and noticed the on left that did the talking, Fred had more freckles around his nose and George had more on his head. Fred's eyes were also a slightly darker shade of blue you would only notice of you were looking closely and George's seemed relatively calmer then Fred.

"Okay so you're Fred and he's George," Juliet smiled pointing at each of them.

"You can tell us apart can't you," Fred smirked. "No, in our family can tell-"

"-us apart beside our older brothers."

"Your parents can't?" Juliet asked a hint of disappointment in her voice.

"Nope, that how we like it," Both twins grinned.

"You know you make be a good friend for our dear big brother. Do you agree Forge?"

"I certain do agree Gred."

"Fred? George? Are you there? Mum's been call you" a smooth voice came from behind them. Juliet turned around and saw a tall, thin, handsome man with long red hair that was in a ponytail, and he had an earring with a fang dangling from it. He looked like a rock star and Juliet could help but blush.

"Oh there you are mum and Ginny was to see you before the train leave. I'm sorry I didn't notice you I'm Bill," Bill smiled taking notice of the small girl, "Fred and George eldest brother."

Juliet could help but giggle as Bill took her hand and placed a small kiss on it. She was sure her face was pink as the three left the compartment. Juliet sat down next to the window where, half hidden, she could watch the red-haired family on the platform and hear what they were saying. She saw a plump woman, a girl a bit shorter then Juliet, and tall gangling boy all three with flaming red hair.

Their mother had just taken out her handkerchief.

"Ron, you've got something on your nose."

The youngest boy tried to jerk out of the way, but she grabbed him and began rubbing the end of his nose.

"Mum I've found you the twins," Bill called leading the over to them.

"Ah good now where's Percy?" said their mother.

"He's coming now."

The oldest boy came striding into sight. He had already changed into his billowing black Hogwarts robes, and Juliet noticed a red and gold badge on his chest with the letter P on it. She smiled to herself 'Gryffindor'.

"Can't stay long, Mother," he said. "I'm up front; the prefects have got two compartments to themselves —"

"Oh, are you a prefect, Percy?" said one of the twins, with an air of great surprise. "You should have said something, we had no idea."

"Hang on, I think I remember him saying something about it," said the other twin. "Once —"

"Or twice —"

"A minute —"

"All summer —"

"Shut it you two. I'm proud of you just loosen up a bit," Bill smiled.

"Which is why you should sit with Julie," George suggested.

"Julie, oh you've met her. Nice girl maybe Ron should sit with her, she may rub off on him," Percy smiled. The youngest boy glared.

Juliet turned as someone knocked on the compartment doors and after opening them. Juliet happily smiled when she saw it was Neville Longbottom.

"Neville," Juliet smiled. Neville flinched and blushed, then started stammering something about all compartments being full. Juliet quickly helped him with his trunk. Neville gave her a small, but grateful smile and sat down opposite her he looked over at the snowy owl.

"Did you find her a name?"

"Hedwig," Juliet smiled. They started to talk for a while about summer and their birthdays and there was another knock on the compartment doors.

"Hi Julie," Percy said sheepishly. "The twins wouldn't stop casting spells on the prefect compartment until I came in here."

Fred and George pushed him in and joined them.

"Hey guy this is my friend Neville. Neville this is Fred, George, and Percy Weasley," Juliet said introducing them.

"So what year are you two in? I know Percy's a fifth year and me and Neville are first years," Juliet asked trying to break the ice.

"Third." they said in unison. The train ride went by quickly. Juliet learnt that the twins wanted to open a joke shop when they graduated from Hogwarts and Percy wanted to work at the Ministry, and that they had a younger sister Ginny, two brothers that had already graduated. Bill, the eldest one Juliet had met, was a Curse Breaker for Gringotts in Egypt and was home on holiday and Charlie was a Dragon-Keeper in Romania whom had just graduated from Hogwarts before the summer. Neville had relaxed somewhat and they talked about Herbology most of the time. Percy had told him that Hufflepuff was full of students great in Herbology. Neville told them his mother and her whole family were in Hufflepuff but his Dads family had all been in Gryffindor. "So Julie what house do you think you'll be in," Percy asked as they all took out their lunches. The three Weasley's pulled out sandwiches the twins had turkey and Percy had what looked like roast beef. Neville had a thermos of chicken soup.

"Mum must have mixed my Lunch with Ron's. She always forgets I don't like roast beef," Percy sighed. Juliet looked into her bag she had more than enough to share. Mrs. Figg always tried to get Juliet to eat more because of how small she is. She had packed three chicken-salad sandwiches, a bag of carrot sticks and the tin of cookies.

"Do you like chicken-salad?" Juliet asked meekly. Percy smiled nodding as Juliet hand him one of her sandwiches. Juliet also passed around tin of cookies.

"So what house do you think you're going to be in Julie?" Percy asked. "Neville thinks he'll be in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. So where do you see yourself going?"

"Well I don't know. I could see myself in any of the houses I guess. I mean I'm very dedication and hard-working so Hufflepuff but I don't have the demeanor of a Puff. I guess you can say I'm brave but I am a bit of an over thinker. I'm very resourceful but I'm not into the pure-blood tradition."

"What about Ravenclaw?" Neville asked.

"Ah, Ravenclaw the house of wisdom, wit, and intellect. I guess I could see myself there. I like to think I'm smart and I do love learn about new things. "

Just as Percy was about to say something the compartment door slid open and three boys entered. Juliet looked over the three boys. Two of them where thickset and looked extremely mean but Juliet wouldn't judge them just yet. In the middle stood a pale boy with white-blonde hair, the to bigger boys looked like his bodyguards. He was looking at Julie with a lot of interest; she knew he cover was blown.

"Is it true?" he said. "They're saying all down the train that Juliet Potter's in this compartment. So it's you, is it?"

"Yes," said Julie. She glanced over at the Weasley's who's jaws dropped.

"This is Crabbe and this is Goyle," said the pale boy carelessly. "And my name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

"No, that's not their names. What are you names? Your first names," Juliet asked holding her hand up as Draco was about to speak for them. It took them a few minutes but they finally said something.

"I'm… Uh… Vincent," the smaller thicker one said.

"Gregory," the taller one said his voice came out in a low rasp like he never really used it.

"Well it was nice of you to introduce yourself Vincent, Draco, and Gregory. But the compartment is full maybe we could continue this later. Maybe lunch tomorrow?"

"Uh, Sure I guess."

As the boy's left she turned to await the reactions of the Weasleys.

"You're Juliet Potter-"

"The Girl-Who-Lived?"

"Wicked!" the twins said in unison. And that was it. There was no goggling at her scar like when she was in Diagon Alley.

"Julie is short for Juliet and Evans is your mother's maiden name. I feel like an idiot," Percy stated. Juliet's journey to Hogwarts was very fun and she was happy to have found four friends already. The train had stop later that afternoon she and Neville said their good byes to Percy and the twins and followed what looked like a Giant thought the woods.

"No more'n four to a boat!" the Giant man called, pointing to a fleet of little boats sitting in the water by the shore. Juliet pulled Neville into a boat with a two other one was a girl with large, dark blue eyes, long, curly dark brown hair. The other was a boy with a messy mop of sandy-brown hair and hazel eyes.

"Hey I'm Lily and this is Kevin." the curly haired girl smiled.

"I'm Julie and this is Neville," said Juliet.

The fleet of little boats moved off all at once, gliding across the lake, which was as smooth as glass. Everyone was silent, staring up at the great castle overhead. It towered over them as they sailed nearer and nearer to the cliff on which it stood.

"Heads down!" yelled the Giant man as the first boats reached the cliff; they all bent their heads and the little boats carried them through a curtain of ivy that hid a wide opening in the cliff face. They were carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking them right underneath the castle, until they reached a kind of underground harbor, where they clambered out onto rocks and pebbles.

And then the ride was over and they got out of the boats as the Giant man guided them to a big oak door and knocked on them. Well, not knocked, more like thundered, he was just that strong. The doors opened slowly and showed a tall, black-haired witch in emerald-green robes stood there. She had a very stern face and Juliet's first thought was that this was not someone to cross.

Professor McGonagall was her name. She then began to tell them about the four Hogwarts Houses and what was expected of them. Julie knew that already, so she zoned out a bit, using the time to check her other classmates. Professor McGonagall left them alone in the hall for a few minutes to get ready for their sorting and a few minutes later she came for them. Her eyes fell for a moment on Neville's cloak, which was fastened under his left ear. She gave a small chuckle before helping him fix it.

"Thanks Juliet," Neville said sheepishly.

Professor McGonagall had returned a minute later and led them into Great hall. Juliet saw that the Great Hall was full with students and it was more the she had ever dreamed the sky remind her of her room. She saw professor McGonagall putting a three-legged chair in front of them and putting an old ragged hat on it. The Great Hall went quiet as the hat's rim opened and it started to sing a song.

Oh you may not think me pretty,

But don't judge on what you see,

I'll eat myself if you can find

A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black,

Your top hats sleek and tall,

For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat

And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head

The Sorting Hat can't see,

So try me on and I will tell you

Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve, and chivalry

Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they are just and loyal,

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true

And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

if you've a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin

You'll make your real friends,

Those cunning folks use any means

o achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!

And don't get in a flap!

You're in safe hands (though I have none)

For I'm a Thinking Cap!

And the Sorting began. Professor McGonagall unrolled a roll of parchment and started reading out the names of Juliet's future classmates. "Abbott, Hannah!"

A pink-faced girl with blonde pigtails stumbled out of line, put on the hat, which fell right down over her eyes, and sat down. A moment's pause —

"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat.

The table on the right cheered and clapped as Hannah went to sit down at the Hufflepuff table. Julie saw the ghost of the Fat Friar waving merrily at her.

"Bones, Susan!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!" shouted the hat again, and Susan scuttled off to sit next to Hannah.

"Boot, Terry!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

The table second from the left clapped this time; several Ravenclaws stood up to shake hands with Terry as he joined them.

"Brocklehurst, Mandy" went to Ravenclaw too, but "Brown, Lavender" became the first new Gryffindor, and the table on the far left exploded with cheers; Juliet could see the twins catcalling.

"Bulstrode, Millicent!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Corner, Michael!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Crabbe, Vincent!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Entwhistle, Kevin"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Finch-Fletchley, Justin!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Finnigan, Seamus!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Goldstein, Anthony!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Goyle, Gregory!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Granger, Hermione!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Longbottom, Neville!"

Juliet smiled and gave Neville a small push. The hat took a long time to decide with Neville. When it finally shouted;

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

Juliet grinned and waved to him as he took a seat at the Hufflepuff table.

"Malfoy, Draco"

"SLYTHERIN!"

'Knew it,' Juliet smirked to herself.

"McDougal, Morag!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Moon, Lily!"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Nott, Theodore!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Parkinson, Pansy!"

"SLYTHERIN!"

"Patil, Padma!"

"RAVENCLAW!"

"Patil, Parvati!"

"GRYFFINDOR!"

"Perks, Sally-Anne"

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

"Potter, Juliet!"

Everyone started whispering and lengthening their necks to see her. Juliet blushed from embarrassment getting a peek at the twin who looked like they were taking last minute bets.

"Ah, Miss Potter I've been waiting to meet you. I see you didn't have a nice childhood, but now it's much better now. You have plenty of courage, I see. You are brave, you have bravery I haven't seen in many years."

"You think I'm brave?"

"I know you are brave. But your bravery cannot compare to your Intelligence. I'd have to say that Intelligence and Wit mixed with you Curiosity for all things magic you would do well in all four Houses."

"Really, I kind of figured that. Is there any house that stands out above the others?"

"A student that asks all the right question, how refreshing. Yes, with you desire not to lose your Individuality and Creativity. The house you belong to is… RAVENCLAW!"

So next chapter Snape and Juliet meet face to face and she has a one on one with Draco Malfoy.

Kevin Entwistle and Lily Moon where in thecanon but they just didn't get a Personality so here it is.

Kevin- He is to put it bluntly, a loner Ravenclaw that only hangs out with his cousin Lily Moon. He's one of the smartest kids at Hogwarts but doesn't care. Him being a half-blood muggle raised he finds art calming when having to deal with his dorm mates Terry, Micheal, Stephen, and Anthony.

Lily- She is enthusiastic, bubbly, and an extremely quirky. She's not the brightest student but she is nice to everyone even people how call her names.(I made her a mix of What a Hufflepuff is and Luna. I found out Lily Moon was J.K. Rowling's original name for Luna Lovegood. I love Luna so much I made a Hufflepuff verison of her. I think everyone should be more like Luna)

P.S- I tried to put all the character in Juliets in the sorting but it was so many... So yea
