The rain pattered against my window like drumsticks hitting a drum, the thunder acting like a symbol. Every minute, the lightening would brighten my cabin but only for a split second. The boat rocked back and forth on the angry waves making everyone sea sick. Not a soul was found on the decks, everyone had taken refuge in their cabin. It was a miserable day, one it was rainy and second today was the last day of the cruise from Sydney Australia to England.
The cruise is always fun, we take it every summer to go to England from our giant manor outside of Sydney to England to visit my twin brother Harry at his friend Ron Weasley's house. It was quit lame, since I just sit in my room or go and bug my brother. I hate going since I hate my brother. He's a lying ass hole! He takes all the credit about defeating the dark lord when it was me who did it! I vaguely remember the night but I do remember hiding in the closet watching Voldemort kill my mother. I remember grabbing mum's wand of the table by the closet, and saying a spell I'd never heard at the Dark Lord. I had a voice in my head saying to say it so I did and then he just disappeared. Everybody thinks he got that scar from Voldemort, but he got it from falling out of the crib and scratching it on a nail. How did he defeat the Dark Lord in his 1, 2, and 4th year? Who the hell knows! I'm way more powerful than Voldemort himself; twerp on the other hand, has no power what's so ever. He has as much power as a normal 5th year.
Even Dumbledore thought Harry was the "chosen one" so when we were split up, Harry went with mum's adopted sister. Me on the other hand as sent with mum's best friend Jean and her husband Edward. They told me everything about who I was and that I was a pureblood, but Harry still thinks he's a half blood and Mrs. Dursley is his blood aunt. But nobody ever told him he was a pure blood, and that mum was adopted. They put Harry with Mrs. Dursley so that he could grow up a normal life and not be surrounded by tons of witches and wizards trying to see the "chosen one". Nobody knows that Harry has a sister; cause the ass hole never mentioned me or gave me the credit of killing Voldemort. Not even Voldemort knows I killed him, so I could go join the Death Eaters and he wouldn't know how much more powerful I am than him.
I could hear Jean and Edward's voices through the door. They were standing outside my door; probably making sure I don't sneak out and go stand on the deck in the rain. I wouldn't blame them; I nearly gave them a heart attack last week slipping and falling over board during a storm. So on the safe side they looked me in my cabin, so know all I have to do is think. In less than 2 hours I'll be stuck at my stupid brother's friends house for the whole summer.
I walked into the bathroom and changed into a navy blue thick-strapped dress from Hollister and matching navy blue wedged scandals. I grabbed my wand from its strap on my thigh and curled my hair, placing a navy blue headband with a bow on it behind my ears. I did my makeup, doing a smoky look on my eyes with eyeliner, to make my violet eyes pop. I'm a metamorphmagus so my eyes change colors as well as my hair. I keep my hair my natural color but I like changing my eye color. I changed my skin tone to really tan, and made my teeth whiter.
There was a knock on the door and then came Jeans soft voice, "Scarlette can you come out here for a moment?" I opened the door to find Edward on a couch and Jean go and join him. I sat on the couch in front of them; they looked like something was bugging them. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Honey we have decided that you shall join Hogwarts with your brother." Edward answered. "WHAT!" I shouted. "We know that your more powerful than your brother and since the Dark Lord is back we want you to protect Harry." Jean said I hint of worry in her voice. "WHAT! Why not let the all mighty powerful "chosen one" protect his own sorry ass!" I sneered. "Scarlette Makinli! Don't use that type of language!" Edward shouted. "Scarlette take a deep breath! Edward her eyes are turning black again!" Jean said getting scared. My eyes turn black when I use strong magic like I used the night my parents died; they usually turn black when I get angry.
"Go to your cabin and calm down!" Edward said worry in his eyes. "We are docking in 30 minutes so go pack," Jean added. I stormed into my cabin and made my clothes go into my suitcase with out my wand. I looked in the mirror and saw my eyes black as night. I looked menacing. I should turn my eyes black when I beat up Harry! For the next 30 minutes I sat down in front of my mirror playing with my eye color. I felt the boat stop and I sighed. I changed my eyes back to violet and walked out of my cabin with my trunk levitating behind me. Edward coughed and I made my trunk quit levitating and wheeled it normally. My hawk I got in Africa squawked in its cage. I snickered getting an idea and turned and looked at the bird. I opened the cage and she ruffled her maroon wings. I showed her my arm and she climbed on. Her black eyes looked menacing, the merchant said her breed of hawk was the most dangerous hawk in Africa. Any person could recognize it. I had fallen in love with the bird and it took a liking to me.
I named her Mercy cause I found it hilarious that this bird showed no mercy so it would be funny telling Harry her name. "Ok Mercy go ahead and fly to the Weasley's burrow," I commanded handing her a piece of raw flesh. She nodded and flew out. "Why did you have to get that type of bloody bird?" Edward asked. He was terrified of the hawk and I found it hilarious. "Because! We have this connection." I replied my Australian accent made it even more believable. Edward and Jean are both British but moved to Australia after Edward's grandmother passed away and he inherited her manor out side of Sydney, right before my mum died. We walked out of our cabin and walked to the front desk of the ship to check out.
I walked over to one of the bellhops named Coby. "Hey Coby!" I said walking over to him. "Leaving so soon Makinli?" he asked in a thick Australian accent. "Yea I'm going to visit my twin brother in England," I replied rolling my eyes. "Will I see you again next year?" He asked. "I don't know, I'm stuck going to school here but hopefully," I told. He nodded and Edward said, "Come on Scarlette!" I waved bye and he said, "Bye Makinli." I followed Jean and Edward off the boat and down the ramp. It was still raining but not as heavy as earlier. We walked to an old abounded fish shop. Edward muttered a spell and opened the door. We all three snuck into the shop. "Good-bye dear," Jean said hugging me. "What? Aren't you guys coming with me to the Weasley's?" I asked confused. "No honey, your old enough to go alone. We have a convention to go to for the summer. Be sure to write! We'll see you at the manor for Christmas." Edward said hugging me. They apperated leaving me in the shop alone.
I sighed and took one look at the old fish shop. It has been abounded for years, but you can still smell the fishy smell of fish. I found a cracked mirror and walked over to it. My hair was damp and the curls were falling out so I grabbed my wand and fixed it yet again. I changed my eye color to gray with violet specks in it. I like doing that cause boys reactions are always classic when they stutter when I talk to them. I sighed and apperated. When I got to the barrow I saw Mercy fly through an open window. I walked over to the window in time to see Ron scream, "Bloody Hell! There's a hawk in here!" I climbed over the windowsill and sat down in the chair by the window pulling on leg on the seat, while Ron screamed for 5 more minutes.
When Mercy finally flew off Ron and on the windowsill, he took a deep breath. "Hello Weaselbee," I smirked. "BLOODY HELL!" Ron screamed jumping off the couch. His family ran in with Hermione, "What happened!" Mr. Weasley asked. "That bloody bird flew in and attacked me! Then when it flew of that thing gave me a bloody heart attack!" Ron shouted jerking a finger at me. Everyone's eyes turned to me, still in the chair stroking the bird's head. "Ronald Weasley! Don't be rude! Hello dear good to see you again!" Mrs. Weasley chipped up and had Fred and George take my trunk and Mercy's cage up to Ginny's room. "Mum! Let the devil do it herself!" Fred complained. "Fred! That isn't the way to greet company!" Mrs. Weasley scolded. "We aren't taking her stuff!" George said. They glanced over at me and I made my eyes turn black and they ran over and grabbed my stuff now terrified of my black eyes.
Hermione glared at me and the door opened. "Hello everyone!" Harry said walking into the room. His black hair was messy and his green eyes showed excitement. Harry and I don't look alike at all; I don't even look like I'm a Potter. Instead of black or dark red hair, my natural hair is bleach blond, I didn't inherit mum's green eye like Harry or Dad's hazel eyes. My natural eye color was dark blue but I don't like it that's why I change it. "Oh good Harry darling you're here! Your sister just came in as well." Mrs. Weasley greeted. "Giving me a bloody heart attack," Ron muttered. Harry shook hands with Mr. Weasley, Ron, Fred, George, Billy, and Charlie and hugged Mrs. Weasley, Ginny, and Hermione.
"Hey little brother," I smirked while standing up. Harry and I did an awkward one-arm hug. Mercy flew onto my forearm and screeched at Harry. "Whose bloody bird is that!" Harry asked jumping back. "She isn't a bloody bird! Mercy is an African hawk! I bought her while in Africa a month ago," I explained. "You would buy the most dangerous hawk in Africa," Harry muttered. "How could you buy that type of bird? This species of hawk has eaten people alive!" Hermione asked pure disgust in her eyes. "She found me while looking for a bird in a pet shop in Africa. She hated everyone that came in, but me, and the merchant wanted to get rid of her. He sold her to me for 10 galleons." I stated. She rolled her eyes and turned her gaze to thee window.
Four owls flew through the window and landed on the windowsill. "Our school lists has come in!" Ginny shouted. "Wait why is there 4?" Harry asked. "Hello school mates!" I smirked and caught Granger glaring at me. "What? Why?" Ron asked. "I don't know. My parents told me I had too." I said lying. "Where did you last go to school?" Harry asked. "Queensland Academy of Witch craft and wizarding. I was captain and seeker of their Quidditch team. Well I can play any position. I was the star of the team like Victor Krum." I said proud of my accomplishment. '"What about academics?" Hermione asked. "Well Granger, I graduated top of my class every year," I sneered. She glared and I laughed. "Well Scarlette, it's so good to have you join Hogwarts with your brother! Dinner's almost ready so go wash up!" Mrs. Weasley chipped in and walked in to the kitchen. Everyone but Harry and I left the room. "What's wrong scar face?" I asked. "That's not the reason why! You're lying!" He whispered. "Your right. Jean and Edward are making me go to Hogwarts to protect you. I still don't get why everyone calls you the chosen one. You don't even know half of who you are!" I whispered back with a smirk on my face.
With that I walked out of the room and into the kitchen. "May I help with anything, Mrs. Weasley?" I asked sweetly. "No it's quite all right dear. I don't want you to ruin your pretty dress," She replied. I nodded and Harry walked into the room. "Scarlette can I talk to you?" Harry asked. I followed him out into the garden and took a seat on the shaded swing. "Yes little brother?" I asked sweetly. "Ok Scarlette cut it out!" Harry shouted. "Whatever." I shot back. "Now what do you mean I don't know half of who I am! I'm Harry Potter, a half blood. I live with my aunt and her husband and son. My mum is muggle born and my dads a pureblood." Harry stated. "Hmmm. You need to do a little research." I sang and stood up and walked back into the burrow.
I took a seat in one of the only two open seats between Bill and Ginny. Mrs. Weasley came up behind each person and placed a piece of chicken, a scoop of peas, some mashed potatoes, and a roll on everyone's plate and then poured pumpkin juice in everyone's cup. "So Scarlette, where are you from?" Billy asked. "I'm from Sydney Australia. I lived outside of the city in Greysword Manor." I replied. "I've read about Greysword Manor. They say it's the largest and most elaborate manor in all of Australia," Hermione added.
"Yes, the Greysword family is very wealthy and is looked up to the Australian wizarding society." I replied. "What type of food does your guardian cook?" Mrs. Weasley. "Well we have house elves who cook, clean, etc. But if we were to have chicken, we would have grilled lemon chicken, with a side of caviar, and a garden salad. With sparkling water," I replied watching Hermione's face sadden when I mentioned house elves. "Sounds delicious," she stated. I nodded and we ate in silence.
After dinner everyone went into the living room to listen to the radio. I took a seat by the window and wrote a letter to Jean and Edward:
Dear Jean and Edward,
Happy? It's awful! I want to go home and just come back at the beginning of the school year! I didn't even get to say bye to Katie or Johanna! What about John! I didn't even have a chance to break up with him! He's probably heart broken! Can I please apperate so I can go say good-bye? Write back ASAP!
Love your daughter,
Scarlette Makinli
Mercy was sitting on the windowsill watching me write. She hoped on to my willing forearm and I tied the note to her leg. "Take this to Jean and Edward. If you can give it to Jean cause I don't trust Edward. Go!" I whispered to her and she flew out of the room. I took out another sheet of paper, and wrote:
Katie,
Hey girl! Listen can you go get Johanna and John? I just wrote to Jean and Edward asking if I could apperate over to you guys or you guys apperate over here. I miss you guys! And I really need to tell you something in person.
Love your sissy from another missy
Scarlette Makinli
Mercy flew through the window silently and I untied the letter and tied my letter to her leg. "Take this to Katie." I commanded and she nodded and flew out. I opened up the letter and it read:
Scarlette dear,
Let Katie and the others just apperate to Diagen Alley tomorrow while you get your school stuff. Please don't send any more letters with Mercy. Edward and the hotel employees are scared to death of her. Talk to you soon. We love you!
Jean and Edward
Mercy flew in and I grabbed the letter and quickly wrote meet me at Diagen alley tomorrow at 10! Ttyl. I tied it back on and Mercy flew out. Katie wrote:
Makinli!
God I've missed you! I love the new bird but she doesn't seem to like my little sis. Hahah anyways Johanna and John are over at my house and yea you need to get your sorry ass over here! Haha anywayz I miss you to!
Katie:D
I laughed and Mercy flew in wit Katie's on letter reply, "k". I excused myself from the sitting room and went up to Ginny's room. I grabbed my toiletries bag and a pair of pajamas and walked over to the bathroom all the siblings shared. I turned on the shower and stripped down. I grabbed my shampoo, conditioner, sponge and soap. I stepped in and quickly felt relaxed. Letting all the hot water undo all the knots in my back.
When I stepped out of the shower, I grabbed my wand and dried my self and my hair. I pulled on a pair of shorts from Hollister and a pink tank top that said, "I love pink." from Victoria's Secrets. Even though I'm a pure blood, I adore all the muggle clothing lines! I took my wand and French braided my hair down into a braid that topped at my waist. I walked back to Ginny's room and put everything away. Ginny and Hermione were already in the room in their PJs talking.
There was a knock on the door and Ginny yelled, "COME IN!" Ron's face appeared at the door and he said, "We are playing Quidditch in the field. Want to play?" "Sure!" Ginny said. Hermione of course said no and Ron looked at me. "Hell ya!" I said. Ginny grabbed her ancient looking broom and I grabbed my Firebolt 3. "How'd you get one? They haven't even come out!" Ron asked jaw open. "I have my ways. Close your mouth sweetie. Or flies will fly in." I said patting his check and then skipping out.
"Ok boys! Who's on what team?" I asked. "Ron, Harry, George, and Ginny are on
one team. And Fred, Bill, you, and me are on the other. Hermione your score keeper." Charlie explained. "Ok who does what?" Fred asked. "Fred you are the beater, Bill is the chaser, Ms. Scarlette is Seeker, and I'm goal keeper," Charlie said. "Fine with me," Bill replied. "If you guys are ready lets get a move on!" George shouted.
We walked up to the other team. "Seekers come shake hands," Hermione informed. Harry and I walked up and Fred yelled, "Oi clash of the siblings!" Harry and I grabbed hands, "Scared little brother?" "You wish Scarlette." We shook and walked back to our teams. "On your mark! GO!" Hermione shouted throwing the ball up. We shot up in the air and Bill grabbed the ball and raised for to the goal post. I thought he needed a little help so I flew up by Ron and winked. Ron starred at me with wide eyes. Bill shot by
Ron and scored. "Oi! Scarlette quit making Ron act like that!" Harry shouted. "There isn't a rule that says I can't distract the opposing team, Potter." I sneered.
I looked up and saw Fred wink and aim his broomstick towards the other goal post. That was our signal if he saw the snitch. "Well I'm going to go look for the snitch." I said smoothly and flew off to the other goal post. "Now where is it?" I asked my self. "Psst Scarlette it's by Ginny's window." Charlie whispered. I nodded and spotted it I flew full speed towards at and finally grabbed it. "Ha! I caught it!" I shouted to Harry. We all landed and I high fived everyone on my team. "Kids come inside! Time for bed!" Mrs. Weasley shouted out the window. Everybody walked into the house some laughing about their win, others not saying anything.
"Well good night I said," hoping onto the blow out mattress that was in the room next to Hermione's blow out mattress. I rolled over listening to Granger and Ginny whisper to each other. "Look Red I'm trying to get some sleep here! So if you don't mind. Shut up!" I groaned rolling over to stare at them. "Quit calling me Red! Good night Mione," Ginny shouted. She turned the lights off and I rolled over to face the wall and fell into a light sleep. I woke up at the crack of dawn and snuck into the bathroom. I don't fell like waiting in line for the shower. I took a long shower, I felt like making the person-waiting wait longer. I got out and dried my body and hair and wrapped my self in my fluffy robe. I laughed and walked back into Red's room. I looked through my trunk and pulled out a pair of black shorts; with a crème colored thick strapped tank top with a flower on the corner. I pulled out a pair of wedged sandals that matched my shirt and took my wand and made my hair straight.
I walked down stairs to find Mrs. Weasley running around the kitchen cooking breakfast. "Good morning Dear! Would you like a cup of coffee?" she asked. "Good Morning Mrs. Weasley! I would love a cup. May I help with anything?" I asked. She handed me a cup of coffee and said, "Well if you insist you can go wake up the boys. The girls will be up any minute." She answered look thankful that I asked. I nodded and walked up to the twin's room. I glanced in the mirror and turned my eyes dark blue. "Fred wake up!" I whispered softly and shook Fred, but he just rolled over. I did the same with George, when I got the same result I sound proof the room. "WAKE UP FRED AND GEORGE!" I screeched. When they rolled over to stair at how woke them. I made my hair go into red flames and my eyes turn as black as my pupils, along with the blood red pupils and turned my skin rash red.
"BLOODY HELL!" Fred and George screamed, jumping out of the bed. I made me voice sound like a sinister old witch and did a blood curling laugh. They both jumped out of their bed and grabbed their wands pointing them at me. I turned into a dragon and blew out fire. "I WANT MY MOMMY!" George screeched jumping into Fred's arms. I laughed and changed backed to normal. "Good morning!" I shouted sweetly. "Bloody hell! You are a demon sent from hell!" Fred whispered. "You could say that," I replied glancing at my manicure. "How'd you do that?" George asked. "I'm a animagus, I am what they call a lucky one. I can turn into whatever animal or whatever imaginable creature," I exclaimed. "That dragon was bloody brilliant!" George replied. The best thing about the twins is that I get along with them. They may call me the devil and stuff but they are just kidding. The older everyone in the family except Ron and Ginny, adore me. The twins especially.
"Want to help me wake Weaselbee and Potty?" I asked. "Yea!" they both
shouted at the same time. "Ok! Let me go wake up Bill and Charlie." I said. I woke Bill and Charlie, not bothering to scare them. Since Charlie isn't scared of dragons. "Ok. Here is the plan. I'm going to go in first and try to wake them sweetly. I'm going to do a 'c' behind my back. And then you two come in and take some prank potion to scare them and I'm going to turn in the Dark Lord. To scare Harry even more." I whispered outside of Ron's room. "That's evil! We like it!" The twins whispered.
I snuck into Ron's room and shook them lightly and said, "boys wake up." No response. I made a C behind my back and they walked in looking like two death eaters. I turned into Voldemort and they both shuddered. "The boy who lives! Come to me!" I shouted sounding just like him. Ron and Harry both jumped out of bed holding their wands. "Bloody hell Harry it's him!" Ron whispered sounding scared. Harry was about to say a curse when I nodded and Fred and George took of the mask and cloaks and they disappeared and I turned back to normal. "Good morning boy who lives," I laughed. Fred and George laughed too and high fived each other and me.
"That isn't funny Scarlette! You gave me a heart attack!" Harry shouted obviously not happy that he had started his morning this way. "Mrs. Weasley wants everybody up so we can get a head start to Diagen Alley." I explained and walked out of the room. "Hey it's better than what she did to us!" Fred whispered. "No way! She scared the living daylights out of me!" Ron protested. "No she turned her hair into red flames, her skin turned rash red, and her eyes were as black as pupils and blood red pupils!" George. "You mean like this?" I asked turning into the thing I had created. "Yea! Then she turned into a dragon!" Fred finished.
"How is that possible?" Harry asked. "I'm a animagus, I am what they call a lucky one. I can turn into whatever animal or whatever imaginable creature. So that explains the dragon. And I'm also a metamorphmagus, which explains how I turned into the Dark Lord and that thing." I replied walking into the kitchen. We took our seats and I mostly played with my food. "Good morning everybody!" a young witch greeted through the window. She had pink hair and brown eyes. "Hello Tonks!" Everyone replied but me. "Good morning Tonks! How are you dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked adding a chair between Fred and me.
She took her seat and glanced at me. "Hello! Who are you?" she asked sweetly. "This is my sister." Harry explained. "I'm Scarlette Makinli," I greeted. "Pleasure to meet you." Tonks replied. I nodded and continued playing with my food. We could hear Fred telling Ginny, Bill, Hermione, and Charlie about what I did to the twins and Harry and Ron. "Wow! How'd she do it?" Tonks asked interested. "I'm a metamorphmagus and an animagus." I told her. "Really? I'm a metamorphmagus two!" She replied. "Awesome! Maybe another time you might be able to answer some questions." I said surprised to find another metamorphmagus.
"Tonks, I don't mean to be rude. But why did you come?" Charlie asked. "None taken. Molly, Arthur sent me to tell you to not take Harry, Ron, Ginny, or Hermione to Diagen Alley. Some death eaters have been spotted around the area." Tonks told. "Oh dear! Well we must postpone till we can go safely," Mrs. Weasley said concerned. "Mrs. Weasley! I was supposed to meet some friends at Diagen Alley! I'll be safe since no one knows who I am and if we get in trouble, me and my friends are animagus." I told. "I guess it's alright. But I'd feel better if I was there with you. Anyway we could do that?" she asked. "I have this potion in my trunk, it pretty much turns you into a metamorphmagus for the day." I explained. "That's brilliant! I would like to join you Mrs. Weasley!" Harry stated standing up along with Ginny, Ron, and Hermione.
"Oh very well! Just be sure you are packed for tonight because we are going to Grimmauld Place tonight." Mrs. Weasley replied. They all nodded and went up stairs to change. "Mrs. Weasley, if you do not think Diagen Alley is safe, we have our own shopping area in Australia. We use the same text books as you and I believe the order would be safer in Australia for this meeting since people have been aware of your head quarters." I said. "I never thought of that! Thank you my dear! I'll contact the others as soon as possibly." She replied scurrying off. "Tonks, before you leave. I have a question." I asked sitting down next to Tonks again. "Go ahead." She said. "Ok. Well, when ever you get mad, do your eyes ever turn black?" I asked. Tonks all of a sudden spat out all the juice she had just drank.
"We need to discuss this in private. So when we meet everyone tonight at Greysword Manor," she replied and then apperated. I sighed, I knew I wasn't normal but even to other metamorphmagus I knew something was up. "Mrs. Weasley if you don't mind, George and I have some business to attend to at Diagen Alley." Fred stated with George nodding behind him. "Very well. You two better watch Ms. Potter! We do not need another death!" Mr. Weasley said.
