A/N Well this chapter starts Amy's 2nd year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Trust me I have no idea at this time what will take place much past Halloween but It will prove interesting.
Amy's Time at Hogwarts Year Two
Chapter One the Upcoming Visitors.
"Amy, how would you like to do the bathrooms?" Ginny wondered one day in Mid July as they were getting ready for a slight invasion of Family since Ginny's niece Elly Weasley was expected at some point from Romania also Harry's cousin Dudley's two kids were also expected to grace the Potter Home in Hogsmeade for the summer.
"Shouldn't be a problem. Even if I can't use magic. Any idea when everyone will be here?"
"Well your father went into London last night on the Train to pick up Abby and Joshua and I think Elly is taking the Knight Bus from Bucharest directly here. It's going to prove interesting with three extra people over the summer," Ginny said.
"I'm sure things will go fine. After all I can show them all my favorite shops in Hogsmeade. Besides it will get Joshua used to things in our world before we he arrives at Hogwarts," Amy said.
Right then of course there was a knocking on the door. Ginny peaked out to see that it was Elly.
"Well looks like I arrived in one peace. What's up Aunt Ginny?"
"Not to much Elly. Harry is in London right now with the school train so he can collect a couple other first year students who are coming north early," Ginny explained.
"Who exactly?" Elly wondered.
"Abigale and Joshua Dursley. They are from my dad's side of the family. Their father is a Muggle who doesn't care for the wizarding world," Amy said. "In fact Their father won't even know they are up here."
"How will they pay for school?" Elly wondered.
"I'm not sure," Amy said. "You know mom?"
"I wasn't in on the arrangements he made with Ashline," Ginny said. "I met Abigale briefly but I never met her brother."
"Well I guess I should get to work on the bathrooms," Amy said.
"So those should take what a few seconds then we can hit the town," Elly said.
"I wish but the ministry decreed that students can't use magic over the summer. Otherwise believe me I would use it for this job the caretaker taught me a whole arsenal of cleaning charms."
Amy managed to get the bathrooms cleaned in a couple hours by then Elly was unpacked and had a small money bag on the belt of her Scarlet and gold dress. Amy threw a set of school robes on and they headed out. Their first stop was Three Broomsticks.
"Amy, how is everything?" Rosmerta wondered as she quickly grabbed a jug of iced pumpkin juice from a cooler.
"Good Rosmerta. Spending the summer up here this time instead of going to the Burrow. Oh well I can go back to Hogwarts early in the day that way," Amy told her.
Fifteen minutes later Rosmerta set down a couple plates of fish and chips. They were working on a couple hot fudge sundae's when they heard a voice in the background.
"Whoa Abigale, check this place out. It's even better then the places we go to back home," the voice said. Amy turned around to see that the voice sure enough was from Joshua Dursley.
"Abby, Joshua over here," Amy said. They soon sat down.
"Hi, I'm Elly Weasley. You must be the Dursley brats," Elly said.
"WE aren't that bad," Abigale said.
"Well my uncle Ron had some not too flattering things to say about your family," Elly said.
"About how my family is not real fond of witches and wizards or even the existence of the world huh well our dad and our Grandma Dursley are that way but our mom used to live in this world but she left it when she married our dad," Abigale said. "I've actually lived in your world since right before Easter. Joshua though is still a little new."
"Not to worry Abigale we will give your brother a full welcome to this world before school starts. Where do you live generally?"
"In the Pentonville section of London," Abigale said. "You?"
"In Romania where most of my friends will be attending the Durmstrang Institute. I was accepted there but my Grandma Weasley was quoted as saying No Self Respecting Weasley will attend Durmstrang Institute while I'm still alive'. Therefore my mom and dad made arrangements for me to come up here and attend Hogwarts. I have a big family. My dad has five brothers and one sister," Elly said.
"Where do they live?" Abigale wondered.
"My Uncle Bill lives in Eqypt somewhere, My Uncle Ron and Aunt Ashley in Kent, My Uncle Percy and Aunt Penny somewhere near London, My Uncle Fred and soon to be Aunt Angelina live in Windsor. My Uncle George in Diagon Alley, and my Aunt Ginny and Uncle Harry in other words Amy's parents live here in Hogsmeade," Elly said.
"Harry we've met but never really Ginny," Joshua said.
"You quickly will Joshua not to worry," Amy said.
Shortly before dinner everyone came in. the twins were attempting to eat.
"Amy, I kept forgetting to ask you today but where is Hannah?" Elly wondered.
"She decided to spend the summer with what little family she has left. I'm sure you heard through the Wizarding Grapevine how her parents were killed by Hecate shortly after Christmas."
"I must have missed that somehow," Elly said.
Harry walked in shortly after that with a bunch of envelopes in his hands.
"I brought these with me," he said as he handed one tof Amy, Elly, Abigale, and Joshua.
"Our supply lists and so forth," Amy said.
"You got it," Harry said.
"Well I'm all set for robes and so forth. Where would we get the rest of the stuff?" Abigale wondered.
"Diagon Alley where we went that time with Lynda, Hannah, and Emily. Most of the books except the Hogwarts Guides we'll get from Flourish and Blotts, Most likely my dad will take you to Ollivander's for your wand. The rest well there are places to get them," Amy said.
"Where would we get the Hogwart's Guides at school?" Joshua wondered.
"Actually I'll simply give you a copy. They aren't cheap if you buy a copy but I tend to be generous," Ginny said.
"Dad, how did you know Elly and I would be at the Three Broomsticks when Abigale and Joshua arrived?"
"I didn't but I knew you would be by there eventually. There Honeydukes, The Leaky Cauldron, The Confectionary in Diagon Alley, and of course Florean Fortescue's are some of your favorite places. That and Weasley Wizard Wheezies," Harry said.
"What is Weasley Wizard Wheezies?" Joshua wondered.
"It's a joke shop my Uncles Fred and George run. Aunt Angelina plays Quidditch professionally," Elly said.
"Abigale was saying how it's played on Broomsticks," Joshua said.
"Well it is," Amy said. "My house Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup this past year. Hopefully you three will be in Gryffindor as well."
"What other houses are there?" Joshua wondered.
"The other houses are Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. This one guy I'm real good friends with is in Slytherin," Amy said.
"Marcus huh," Elly guessed.
"Yep," Amy replied.
A Short time later they were in Amy's bedroom where wizard cots for Elly and Abigale were laid out already. In the corner was Amy's broomstick.
"Whoa what model did you end up with?" Abigale wondered on seeing it.
"Believe it or not a Thunderstick," Amy said.
"Aren't they real expensive?" Elly wondered.
"Yeah but it was a birthday present we practically creamed Ravenclaw with it," Amy said. "They had trouble figuring out if it was safe to throw the Quaffle past me. Not that it stopped them."
Amy then explained the basic rules of Quidditch to Abigale and Joshua.
"So you are the equivalent of a Goaltender in football," Joshua said after her explanation was over with.
"I guess so considering I don't know what you mean by football," Amy said.
Joshua and Abigale quickly explained the rules of football.
Very interesting but doesn't sound like it has many thrills to it," Amy commented.
"SO this is a real witches broomstick," Joshua said as he looked over Amy's thunderstick. "How hard is it to master Quidditch."
"My dad managed to pick up the seeker's position without any difficulty. In fact he didn't even try out for the team," Amy said.
"I thought your dad had played in school," Abigale said.
"At the time Headmistress McGonagall was the Head of Gryffindor and she was keeping an eye on things while Madame Hooch the Flying Instructor/Quidditch Coach took a student to the Hospital Wing and a Slytherin had thrown something in the air that had belonged to the injured student. Well My dad against the instructions of Madame Hooch took to a broom and flew off to catch it. McGonagall saw that move and she marched him inside and turned him over to the House Quidditch Captain," Amy explained.
The next Day Amy took the Dursley twins on the three sickle tour of Hogsmeade. Afterwards she brought her broom outside and showed off a few moves.
"Trust me broom flying isn't as easy as Amy makes it out to be Joshua. I actually got broom sick one time while Flying at the Malfoy's Quidditch Pitch," Abigale said.
"You get sick using just about every form of transportation around. You even got sick on the train yesterday," Joshua said. "Will we have to learn how to fly one?"
"Yes you will," Amy said.
"Watch I'll throw up over some student during the first lesson," Abigale said.
Later that evening Abigale was curled up in the family room reading the transfiguration guide when Myrtle made an appearance.
"Hi I'm Myrtle."
"Now I've seen everything," Abigale said. "You a ghost of something?"
"Yeah I am. I was over at the school the last couple days which is why you haven't seen me," Myrtle told her.
"What does this world not have. I lived in the muggle world until around Easter," Abigale said.
"Not much," Myrtle said. "Just about every monster of your childhood exists in our world."
"Great," Abigale said. "My biggest fear has been ever since my mom read Hansel and Gretel to Joshua and I as kids. I was worried some old ugly witch would scoop down and do to me what the witch in the story almost did to Hansel and Gretel."
"The Ministry keeps the Hags under control," Myrtle assured her. "In fact I can't seem to remember the last time Hags were a real problem."
