Hello, my name is Alia Lily Potter. If you didn't read the first part of my story, you better or you'll be lost in this whole thing. This is the second part of my story and in it, I am 11 years old going on 12 in about two weeks. I had left my first year of Hogwarts not too long ago, and it was time for summer holiday. The summer I had was rather boring, I have to admit. The first fun thing I did was about a month before school started. I headed off to The Burrow. It was where the Weasley family lived. I had packed away all of my things when Remus came to get me. I was wearing the boots that Remus gave me for my birthday last year, my jeans with the green dragon going up the side, and an old black t-shirt that had a large sparkling green heart on the front. I can't exactly help it if one; I look good in green, or two; that it's my favorite color. Now, I had my wand in trunk with all my other essentials. Remus came up and grabbed my trunk while hauling it down the stairs. He called for me and I quickly pulled my necklace out from under my shirt. I smiled down at it and kissed it before heading down stairs.
I slid down the banister and landed next to Remus as he turned to call for me. I didn't really mature physically or mentally over the summer, but my tempered had flared out more then anyone but Remus could imagine. He said that I got it from my mother. This didn't really surprise me. He ushered me into the hearth with my trunk next to me and handed me my vault key. I took it and put it into my pocket. He smiled and kissed me on the forehead before he hugged me. I hugged him back before grabbing a handful of Floo Powder.
"You did tell them I was coming, didn't you?" He nodded and I smiled before saying," Bye Dad." He smiled and I exclaimed," The Burrow!" I threw down the powder and green flames engulfed me. I swirled around for a while, but I finally fell onto a dusty, stone floor. You see, this wasn't the first time I had traveled by Floo Powder. I opened my eyes and saw two hands in front of me. I smiled and took them causing them to haul me to my feet. I was immediately engulfed in hugs and a kiss on the cheek from Mrs. Weasley.
"Hello dear, oh Fred, George, get her trunk will you." They nodded and asked,
"Can Alia bunk with us until school, mum?" Mrs. Weasley seemed to think for a minute before asking,
"Alia dear is that a problem with you?" I shook my head.
"No, no problem at all. Amazingly enough, I trust these boys." Mrs. Weasley smiled before she nodded and said,
"Alright then, now, we need to clean you up." And with a wave of her wand, Mrs. Weasley had my dusty, dirty clothes all clean. I smiled and looked myself over before saying,
"Er, Mrs. Weasley." I couldn't believe I was going to say this. "Could you possibly help me patch up clothes when you have time?" She nodded and smiled before saying,
"Of course dear, I'll get right to it when I'm not busy." I smiled and nodded in thanks before I looked at the twins.
"Alright boys, let's get to it!" They nodded and saluted me before the three of us marched upstairs. Soon afterward, about five hours actually, we were all called down for dinner. I came down with Fred and George causing everyone in the room to look at us. I sat down in between the twins and looked around nervously. I didn't exactly like being the center of attention.
"Everyone, this is Alia Potter, she's the girl we've been telling you about all summer," George said while looking at everyone. I smiled, knowing that I was being talked about…positively.
"Ah, the mischievous Alia Potter. How are you, my dear?" The older man asked me from the end of the table.
"I'm fine, Mr. Weasley." He smiled at me and I turned to Ron before saying," Oi, Ronald." He looked up and smiled at me. I glared at him playfully. "What, no hullo, Alia? How's your summer been, Alia? Goodness, I'm just not feelin' the friendship here, Ron." He laughed and said,
"Hey Alia, how was your summer?" I smiled and said,
"Rather boring actually, how about yours, Ronald?" He sent me a look before saying,
"It was relaxing and very fun. We've been playing Quidditch in the orchard. Well, me, Fred, George, and Ginny are." I blinked and tilted my head to the side.
"Ginny?" Fred cleared his throat and said,
"Sorry, let's reintroduce our friend to the family, aye George?" He nodded and Fred continued. "As you all know, this is Alia Potter. Alia, this is George, Percy, Mum, Dad, Ron, our little sister Ginny, and at last, Fred." He pointed to himself and I couldn't help but laugh. Ginny looked at me and said,
"Are you really the sister of Harry Potter?" The Weasley brothers groaned and I sent them odd looks before saying,
"Yes, I am." Her eyes lit up and sparkled as she asked in a dreamy voice, "Really?" The boys groaned.
"Oh, God Alia, please don't speak anymore. All we've had to hear about all summer was Harry this, Harry that. I'm gonna die if I even see the kid!" I laughed as Fred dramatized the situation before turning to Mrs. Weasley, who was glaring at him. I nudged him and said,
"Oi, behave yourself, Fredric." He looked at his mother and nodded while saying,
"Sorry." Mrs. Weasley smiled at me and Mr. Weasley grinned.
"At least someone has Fred under control…other than you, Molly," he added hastily after receiving a glare from his wife. I couldn't help but giggle at the two of them.
After dinner, I told everyone that I was going to write to Remus to tell him that I was okay. They all agreed and I headed upstairs. Once I was near Fred and George's room, someone came out and grabbed me before pulling me into a rather small room. I was smashed against about three bodies. I heard groaning before a familiar voice said,
"Couldn't you have picked a better place then the hall closet?"
"I'm sorry! You told me about this on such short notice!" I growled and said,
"Will you just shut up and tell me why the in bloody hell you pulled me into a hall closet!" Ron, Fred, and George looked at me before saying,
"Sorry, Alia, we just wanted to let you know that in about two weeks we're going to go save Harry. We were wondering if you wanted to come." I sent them an odd look before smiling and saying,
"Hell yes I want to go save my little brother. How about we make it about one week, because we're going to Diagon Alley in about that time… That way we could all go together." The three of them nodded.
"Yeah, that would be best. Alright, we'll tell you when it's time to leave in about a few days' time." I nodded and walked out of the hall closet. I tried not to trip as I walked out to arouse any suspicions. I walked into Fred and George's room and started to write to Remus. I even sent another letter to Harry. I was getting very worried and very angry. I hadn't got one letter back from my brother and it was either because the Dursleys won't let him, or because he's pissed at me for some reason and won't respond to me, but either way, I'm going to find out. I had a sneaking suspicion it was the Dursleys.
After sending my letter to Remus, I changed into a pair of patched up too-big sweat pants and a large baggy shirt that Remus gave me. You see, unlike other children who had money, I only got hand-me-downs from my godfather, and he's not exactly a small 11-going-on-12 year-old girl. I crawled into George's bed and snuggled into the covers. Soon after, I heard the door open and shut and someone get in beside me. They jerked away, but then let out a sigh when they saw that it was me. I giggled and snuggled closer to them before they turned their back to me and soon fell asleep. I could tell by their rhythmic breathing style, which just happened to be exactly what I fell asleep to.
