Chapter 1
All the Better to See You With
Juliett and Veronica sturdily grasped their trolleys and checked if any muggles were watching, and plunged through to Platform 9 ¾. "Now girls, behave, and I'll see you both at Christmas time." Their mother kissed their cheeks. "Ronnie, Juju, I love you and I'll see you then. Try not to get in too much trouble!" their father said kissing them as well. "Bye daddy!" they waved and ran to the train to go to their favorite place on earth. Veronica split off from her sister and found her 7th year friends. Juliett looked around the train and saw her best friend walking towards her.
"Juju!" the red-haired girl exclaimed
"Gingersnap!" the older girl said back. After a long, girly, squeal filled hug, they found a compartment. "I can't believe it's only been like 5 days since you left my house!" Juliett smiled.
"I know! After spending 2 weeks at your house, I never wanted to go home!" Ginny laughed. The train started to move under them and a dark, bushy haired girl appeared in the door frame. "Ginny! Everywhere else s full, so can we join you?" she asked. "Yeah 'Mione." She smiled and motioned for her and the two boys behind her to come in. Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, and a red haired boy who looked much like Ginny, but who Juliett had never seen before, all piled in and sat down. Hermione and Harry sat next to Ginny, but the other boy sat next to Juliett. "Harry, Hermione, you remember my best friend Juliett." Ginny said and Hermione and Harry smiled and nodded at Juliett. "Oh! And this is my brother Ron... Funny, I don't think you've met before." Ginny chuckled.
"Nope, well, Hello there Jul- Juli-Uh?" Ron looked puzzled.
"Juliett." She laughed.
"Yes, well it's nice to meet you." He blushed
"You as well."
As the train moved on, Harry and Ginny struck up conversation, as well as Juliett and Hermione. Ron sat silently reading the previous month's Quibbler. The snack cart passed, and Hermione, Harry, and Ginny went after it leaving Ron and Juliett alone. "So, I think I've seen you before around school..." Ron looked at Juliett with a look of brief confusion.
"Yes, I've seen you too. I'm a sixth year Gryffindor, as well as you. We've had classes together for 5 years or so now." Juliett laughed and pulled a strawberry honey colored strand of hair out of her face.
"Really? I can't believe I've never attempted to talk to you before, and I really can't believe we've never met, you know, you being Ginny's best gal and all. She spent a lot of the summer at your house in South Wimbledon."
" I don't know. I've actually been to the Burrow a lot before. You've just always been off somewhere or asleep."
"Oh, well I wish I'd talked to you sooner." He blushed.
"Yeah, me too... What? Do I have something on my face?" Juliett noticed he was staring at her face.
"No! No, no, no. I just was looking at your eyes. They're really green. Erm... Like emeralds." He blushed redder.
"Oh.." She smiled. "All the better to see you with... I guess." She chuckled.
Harry, Hermione, and Ginny came back in and were all laughing looking at their snacks. Ron went back to his Quibbler, and the others resumed conversations.
Hermione had fallen asleep on Ginny, Harry fell asleep on Hermione, and Ron's face was on the table. Juliett was awake listening to her iPod. It was some device muggles carried to listen to their music portably. She had a lot of muggle things because her mother was muggle-born and her father was fascinated by muggles. Living in such a muggle province as Wimbledon actually allowed her to be very much in touch with the other world. Juliett usually forgot about magic when she wasn't with her friends or at Hogwarts. Not that she didn't love it, but she had other things in Wimbledon, like going to cinemas with muggle friends, shopping at an outlet mall, or some odd thing called "bowling". She always did wonder why people enjoyed rolling a large, heavy ball at some things called 'pins', but it was sort of fun. Juliett went to rub her make-up caked eyes, and caught the clock. It read 7:20 pm. Quickly she looked out the train window and saw the castle quickly approaching. She woke up Ginny, who woke up Hermione and Harry, who hit Ron on the head, so they could all change into robes. Ron and Harry went to the lavatory to change, so the girls could have the compartment alone. As Juliett pulled off her loose, and a little baggy blue sweatshirt, and her pink tank top, she heard Hermione and Ginny slightly gasp. "What's wrong?" she asked standing there shirtless. "Well, it's just you, well. Your..." Hermione trailed off and her eyes went to Juliett's chest.
"Oh... Yeah. Over the summer they kind of, well. You can see." She laughed.
"I'll say." Ginny looked out of breath staring a her. She tried her best to pull her eyes away, but couldn't help it.
"How big are they Jules?" Hermione asked still appalled.
"I don't really know, You'd have to look at the tag. Last school year they were 36 C's. I can't remember now." She said. Hermione went behind her and looked at the tag. "38 DD?!" she cried out.
"Bloody hell!" Ginny exclaimed.
"What? I can't help it!"
"Well, it's just... I'm only a 34 B." Hermione sighed putting on her robe.
"Really? I'm a 36 C." Ginny said taking pleasure in the fact she was bigger, and younger .
"Guys, it doesn't really matter anyway. At least guys want you for your brains and personality. With me, all they want is a snog, and well, a shag. I mean especially since my sister is Ronnie." Juliett laughed slipping off her jeans and slipping her dress shirt and skirt on.
"Damn, this shirt is a little too small...the robe too I think." Juliett noticed they were cut a little low and showed off 'the girls'.
"Oh my..." Ginny saw her shirt and robe and had to hold herself back again and fix her eyes on something else. "What do you mean? What does Veronica have to do with it?" Ginny asked sitting down to lace her shoes as well.
"Don't lie Gin. Everyone knows she's a slut. I love her to death, but she sleeps with so many guys. Last year, she slept with at least 7 guys, one of which was a second year!" Juliett laughed.
"Well, I mean... she is well endowed. But then again, must be family. Look at you now! You could have any guy you want. You may have her chest now, but you're 40 times prettier, and you're smart. Not that she isn't, just she made different choices." Hermione said to her friend.
"Yeah... Oh well, no guys who came on to me this summer were even wizards, and the few who did last year at school who were wizards were jerks. Even a Slytherin made a play at me." Juliett sighed with disgust.
"Well, this year is new. I say we all forget about boys, or if we find one we think is good, ask each other first." Ginny laughed.
"Deal." Hermione and Juliett agreed and laughed. There came a knock at the compartment door. "Who is it?" Ginny asked.
"A death eater." The voice said.
"Oh ! Cool!" Juliett said and hopped to open the door.
"What the hell? What if I really had been a death eater?" Ron asked sitting down next to her.
"Yeah... Because they're really going to say that when asked who they are. Besides, I knew it was your voice." Juliett rolled her eyes and laughed at him.
"The weirdest thing happened when we were waiting on a lavatory to open." Harry started,
"Yeah! We knocked and some girl was al like 'We're busy, leave us alone!' So we waited, and then we knocked again, and a Harry said 'How much longer? We need to change.' and some guy said 'Didn't you hear her? We're fucking busy. Butt out!'" Ron relayed to the girls. "It gets weirder. The door finally opened and Seamus came out with his robe all messed up and his hair the same. Then, a girl with long black hair came out and said to us 'You could've been next. What a shame.' and kissed my cheek and walked away!" Harry looked baffled. "She slapped my bum too! Weird girl. I think she's a seventh year." Ron said. Ginny, Hermione, and Juliett all exchanged glances. They all knew who it had to be.
"How tall was the girl? What'd she look like? Do you know her name?" Juliett asked Harry.
"Why?'
"Just answer the question Harry." Hermione sighed.
"Alright... Well she was about 5'6'', she had long black hair like I said. Uhm, she was kind of pale, she had green eyes I think. Oh, she had her lip pierced. I think it's that girl Veronica." She fuzzily remembered.
"Oh yeah! They call her 'Naughty Ronnie Lover' or just 'Naughty Ronnie'." Ron remembered.
"Damnit!" Ginny and Juliett exclaimed at the same time.
"What?" Harry asked taken aback.
"Veronica Jane Lovelace... I swear when I see you, ugh. She better hope I don't tell Jakob." Juliett slammed her hand on the table. Ron and Harry both still looked utterly puzzled.
"Veronica is her sister. She has a bit of a... reputation that I guess you two know about." Hermione said.
"Oahf...eel, oo's akobf?" Ron asked filling his mouth with a chocolate frog. He seemed to eat at random, sometimes inappropriate times.
"I think he means, 'who's Jakob'.. Really Ron? Smaller bites next time." Ginny sighed at her hopeless brother.
"Jakob is her best friend. He knows about her... 'Looseness' if you will. He's doing his best to keep her safe and keep her from sleeping around. He's pretty good at it. She only slept with one guy this summer." Juliett tried to remain optimistic. After all... One's better than 7. She thought to herself.
"Well, I guess Seamus is grateful for her... 'looseness'." Ron joked. They all laughed. Juliett peered out of the window. It started to rain, and the train pulled to a stop.
They all piled out of the train and to carriages. "Juliett! Aren't you coming?" Ron asked grabbing her hand when he saw Juliett walking away from their carriage. . He blushed and dropped her hand. She giggled. "Oh, I was going to catch one with my sister."
"Oh." He looked disappointed. "I suppose I could ride with you if you wanted."
"No, that's okay. But, uh Juliett?"
"What?" she laughed at his nervous looking brows. His whole face looks so bothered like he's nervous. Its sort of... cute? She thought.
"I was just wondering if you'd sit with me, well us, you know at the feast?" He asked rubbing his neck that was turning as red as his face and hair.
"Sure." She smiled at him and walked away to find her sister.
