Why? *rubs hands together* you'll just have to find out. So, one final Merry Christmas, and please read and review.
Chapter 1 – Welcome to Platform 9 ¾
"Is this even a real platform?" Violet Evans frown as she looked at Lily's train ticket, she was sitting on her sister's trunk, whilst Lily was pushing the trolley her stuff was on.
"I don't know, Vi." Lily smiled. Lily and Violet Evans where the youngest sisters of Mr. And Mrs Evans. They both had fiery red hair, but lily had brilliant emerald eyes, whist Vi had more of rich forest green eyes. The oldest child was Petunia, unlike her sisters, she had blond hair, and was in a mood.
"Do you think Tuney will get over not getting into Hogwarts?" Vi asked
"Well, I hope so, but Vi, how would you feel if you didn't get in now?" Lily questioned
"I wouldn't mind." Vi smiled at her sister. "I've already planned my future! Going to Hogwarts would mess up those plans."
"Oh, really? So, what do you want to do?" Lily watched her little sister amused.
"I, my dear sister, will be become the worlds greatest writer!" Vi declared
"Of course you will, You'd make a good wrestler, or female boxer." Lily muttered "What do you think, Violent?" Vi looked at Lily with a pouting face.
"Can we not mention that nickname?" Vi asked
"Why not? Dad came up with it, so it's a good name." Lily grinned.
"Dad, I will never forgive you for that nickname." Vi said.
"You've said that at least a hundred times now." Mr. Evans smiled. "This must be it." They stopped before the pillar between platform 9 and 10.
"So, what do we do now?" Vi asked
"I remember there was something about the Pillar." Lily frowned.
"There's nothing here though!" Petunia scowled, Vi rolled her eyes.
"The wizard mention something about going through it." Vi got of the trunk and put her hand on the wall and it went through. "There's our way." Vi smiled and moved out of the way. Lily went first, pushing her trolley with her stuff. Vi took her dad's hand, he ran through with her next. It was pitch black for a moment, then it was light. Her dad stopped, but Vi's hand slipped from his and she tumbled into someone. "Oh, my! I am so sorry!" Vi gasped, a boy with black hair grinned down at her.
"Don't worry, dear maiden, everyone falls for me." He said, Vi just looked up at him, then found herself giggling. He got up and held out a hand.
"You're weird." Vi stated
"Everyone who comes here is weird, but in a special way. Are you starting this year?" The boy asked, pulling Vi to her feet.
"No, my sister is though." Vi said. "I don't know if I even have any magic in me." She looked at her hands.
"SIRIUS!" a woman screeched. The boy closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes again and smiled at Vi.
"It was a pleasure meeting you. See you when Hogwarts ends." He smiled and went off
"Vi, here you are." Lily took her sisters hand and pulled her over to Severus, another boy who was going to Hogwarts. He was Lily's best friend.
"Hi Severus." Vi waved, he smiled and in greeting. Lily hugged Vi.
"I am going to miss you." Lily said
"You are going to write every week, right?" Vi asked
"Of course." Lily nodded, there was a whistle. "We have to get on the train, I'll send you stuff, okay?"
"Okay." Vi smiled, she watched Lily get in the train. She waved as the train began to move, soon her sister and the train vanished.
"Come on Vi, lets go home." Her mom called.
"Coming." Vi sighed, she waked towards her family, her mind wondering what Hogwarts was like.
The drive home was quiet, Violet was looking out of the window.
"I saw you made a friend at the station Vi." Mrs. Evans said, Vi looked at her.
"You mean the boy I crashed into?" Vi asked
"Yes, he seemed friendly. What's his name?" Mrs. Evans smiled
"Sirius, as in like the star." Vi told her, but I only know that because a woman called him." Vi added "He doesn't know my name."
"Well, you could write to him and send it when you write to Lily. Maybe she could give it to him." Mrs. Evans suggested.
"I guess." Vi thought about it, then smiled. "We could become pen pals."
"That's the spirit." Mrs. Evans chuckled
"Why would you want to write to a freak?" Petunia growled
"They're not freaks, Tuney!" Vi looked at her oldest sister.
"Yes, they are." Tuney glared
"Girls, don't fight." Mr. Evans said, Vi refused to look at her sister for the rest of the day. Vi got in some work for her first week of being a year six. She kept looking out of the window, in hope of getting an Owl from Lily; that was how wizards communicated. How long was the trip to Hogwarts anyway?
A letter came later that evening, Mr. Evans read out Lily's letter. Petunia ignored him, but Vi listened excitedly
"Wow, a feast, on their first night?" Vi smiled
"Well, maybe you'll get a letter when you turn eleven." Mr. Evans said
"I don't want a letter. I already have a life plan." Vi told him, she yawned.
"Okay the. Time for bed you two." Mrs. Evans smiled, Vi returned to her room without an argument. She almost screamed when she saw an owl at her window. She quickly opened it anyway, and the Owl flew in. Dropping a letter on her bed before settling on her windowsill. Confused, Vi opened up the letter and began to read.
Dear maiden,
I bet the owl surprised you. I am the one you bumped into at the train station. I would have stayed to talk more, but my mother is a bit horrid if you don't come on first call. Bonus, I know she won't talk to me at all now. But, the reasoning for that is complicated.
Oh, I bet you are confused on how the Owl found you. It wasn't hard at all really, you look so much like your older sister, Lily Evans, right? So, I just made my Owl follow hers. Anyway, I know this may seem odd, but I would like to be your friend, I don't know much about the world outside the wizarding world, and I would like to know more. I hope we can be friends, it would be awesome. Have a nice night.
Sirius Black.
Vi smiled brightly, grabbing some paper and a pen and began to write a reply
Sirius Black,
Nice name. And yes, everyone says how much I look like Lily. Sorry to hear that the relationship between you and your mom is strained. My relationship with my oldest sister is like that currently. I should really introduce myself, I am Violet Evans. But everyone calls me Vi. I would kind of hoping we'll could be friends too. Like Pen pals. I've never had a pen pal before, so I though it would be cool. And I am so sorry from running into you at the station. I hope you have a good first day at Hogwarts tomorrow.
Vi Evans.
"Um, could you take this Sirius?" Vi folded the letter. The owl took it into its beak and flew off. Vi watched it go. "A Pen pal." Vi muttered gleefully, she shut her windows and curtains and got ready for bed. Vi tucked herself into bed. "Maybe I would like to go to Hogwarts after all."
