Harry Potter woke up tossing and turning, he had a nightmare of the previous year at Hogwarts. He got up, put on his glasses and walked over to his wall of memories. He knew there was a pretty good chance Becca would come in soon. He looked at each picture than moved to the newest editions of his wall, there were a couple pictures of him, Ron, Becca and Hermione. But one of his favorite picture was of Luke, Draco, Becca and himself all in their school robes glaring at each other than laughing.
"I'm surprised you're not looking at Hermione's picture." Becca said with a smirk, he turned to her with a smile.
"Just because you don't have a picture of Ron doesn't mean you have to tease me." Harry said, her smirk was wiped away and was replaced with a look of annoyance.
"Why would I want a picture of Weasley?" Becca asked, Harry smiled then shrugged. She turned back to the pictures.
"Do you think we'll get a trouble free year at school?" Harry asked, they both looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Not when we're there." Becca said, Harry laughed and she smiled at him.
"Looking forward to meeting Ron's little sister?" Harry asked, Becca shrugged then sighed as Harry looked at more of the pictures.
"Why would I? More Weasleys, the twins are okay, Weasley is… well I don't know yet." She said ignoring the look Harry gave her.
"And Percy, well, he speaks for himself." They both turned at the voice and saw Hermione standing in the doorway.
"Hermione!" Becca yelled and almost flew over Harry's bed and gave her a hug. Hermione gave her one back, Harry slowly made his way over.
"I see you aren't a ghost, but you might wanna check me." Hermione said, Harry laughed and pulled her into a hug which she returned.
"Come on, Potter. She doesn't want to hug you all day." Luke said with Draco at his side.
"Especially with two guys like us around." Draco said, Hermione turned to face them with a smile.
"How can I resist?" She asked with a fake sigh, she gave Draco a brief hug then moved to Luke. He pulled her into a hug, much like his hugs with Becca, brother-like and protective at the same time.
"But you can resist me?" Harry asked in a mock hurt voice, she smiled at him.
"Sorry, Harry." Hermione said and gave him an extra hug, Becca stared laughing. Luke and Draco looked at each other than back to Hermione.
"Now that that's out of the way, I'll show you where you'll be staying." Becca said, the two girls walked off leaving all three boys shaking their heads.
The next morning, Harry was waiting outside Becca's door. He was wearing jogging pants and a white sleeveless shirt. The door swung open to find Becca dressed similar but with a black tank top, Luke exited his room wearing his jogging pants and a dark green sleeveless shirt.
"Should we wake Hermione?" Becca asked, Luke and Harry looked at each other.
"No, Draco can keep her company." Luke said, the three exited the house. They all ran at the same speed.
"When are we meeting Weasley?" Becca asked, Harry grinned as he looked at her.
"You know you mention him every five minutes?" Harry said, she stuck her tongue out at him. "At the end of the summer. Luke'll have to go with Draco."
"Shouldn't be a problem. Lucius loves me almost more than Draco." Luke said getting a laugh out of Becca.
"Evil doesn't love, Luke. It merely finds something attractive for its power." Harry said, Becca and Luke looked at each other.
It took Hermione a few seconds to realize she was at Harry and Becca's house. She quickly got showered and dressed, then made her way downstairs. The kitchen was empty, she looked around confused.
"They go out running every morning." Draco said from behind her, she jumped a little and he chuckled. "To clear their heads and don't feel bad they didn't wake you, its their personal time." Hermione nodded and he sat next to her at the table.
"Oh, right." Hermione said, he could sense she felt a little uncomfortable.
"What do you want for breakfast?" Draco asked, she turned to him and smiled. He stood up and smiled back in anticipation.
"Surprise me." Hermione said, he snapped his fingers and the house-elf, Reck appeared.
"Yes, Master Draco?" Reck asked, Hermione's jaw dropped to the floor. Draco smirked at her.
"Reck, this is our guest Hermione Granger. She wishes to be surprised for breakfast. And please bring me some cereal." Draco said, the smirk never leaving his face.
"Yes, right away, sir." Reck said and bowed out. Just when Hermione was about to ask what that was all about, three sweaty kids came in.
"You guys are just in time for breakfast!" Draco said cheerfully, Sirius just stepped in.
"What'd Hermione order?" Becca asked, Draco smirked. Sirius started laughing, Hermione looked confused. Before anyone could say anything, two bowls of cereal appeared on the table.
"Hermione…" Harry started but it was too late, the cereal exploded in her face. The four boys laughed, so hard they fell on the floor. Hermione ran up the stairs quickly.
"You idiots! Hermione isn't use to our way of living, you've probably just sent her packing!" Becca yelled, all of them stood up then looked down shamefully. Becca ran up the stairs to Hermione's room. When Becca was out of range, they all dropped to the floor laughing.
After they got their letters, and Hermione had forgiven the boys, they all sat at the table. Harry sat next to Sirius, Luke and Draco sat across from them and the girls sat at each end of the table.
"Do any of you know who Gilderoy Lockhart is?" Hermione asked, she was looking at her list of books. Becca and Luke shared a look.
"He is just one of my heroes. He totally wrote books on all his adventures like wrestling werewolves and stuff." Draco said with a smile, Hermione smiled at him while Harry, Luke and Becca stifled their laughs.
"Draco, Luke, we should go. Lucius will take us to Diagon Alley shortly after we arrive." Narcissa said stepping into the room, Draco and Luke stood up after drinking the rest of their pumpkin juice.
"Mum, guess what? We have tons of Lockhart's books this year! Come on, Luke! See you all at school." Draco said and went to get his coat.
Luke watched his cousin in a morbid fashion, shaking his head he went and gave Hermione and Becca a hug each.
"I would give you a hug Potter, but I think Hermione can do it for me. Look after those two." Luke said and started out of the door.
"No worries Luke, they wont get into any trouble with me around." Harry said proudly, Luke turned back around.
"I was talking to Hermione." Luke said and walked out, Sirius laughed and Hermione smiled.
"Right, now before we head off, I have some rules." Sirius said, Harry and Becca rolled their eyes and Hermione listened attentively. "No using Harry's full name in public and no buying anything unless approved by me and me only. Lastly, try not to disappear in me, I wont come and find you, unless its Becca but I'm not picking favorites." The kids smiled and rolled their eyes and stepped to the fireplace.
"Harry, why are we at your fireplace?" Hermione whispered, he turned around.
"Its called Floo, you step into the fireplace and call out your destination, but you want to be careful to not step out before you've reached your destination." Harry said, Hermione nodded her head slowly.
"Yeah, before you got here, Harry turned up in Knockturn Alley. Good thing Hagrid got him, otherwise Harry would have been stolen. Not that I would have minded of course." Becca said with a smirk, Harry sighed then she grabbed some green floo powder and stepped into the fireplace. "Diagon Alley!" She threw the powder down and she was gone. Hermione jumped in next, she grabbed a handful of floo powder.
"Diagon Alley!" She said and was gone. Hermione stumbled out of the fireplace and Becca grabbed her arm to help her up.
"Fun, huh?" Becca asked with a smile, Hermione laughed at her best friend and they began brushing the soot from their clothes.
"Hey." Harry said, they turned to find him sitting on the ground. Hermione and Becca laughed, he jumped up and brushed himself off just as Sirius came out soot free.
"Lets go, I hate to be seen in public without Luke to protect us." Sirius said, Harry and Becca laughed as they followed him and Hermione. They made their trip around Diagon Alley collecting all their stuff needed for their next year at Hogwarts when Draco came up to them.
"He's here! Sorry just wanted to say hi before we have to hate each other. Also, Luke got a letter from someone named Steph today, do you know who that is?" Draco asked, they all shook their heads and Draco went in, they gave him five minutes before jumping into the shop. He spotted Hermione in line with a bunch of redheads.
"Hey Becca, its Ron." Harry said, she scanned the crowds and smiled. Harry saw this and shook his head, she rolled her eyes.
"Why should I care?" Becca asked and walked to Hermione, Harry followed her.
"Ron!" Harry said, Ron turned around and smiled at them. Becca rolled her eyes again in fake annoyance and casually looked around the store.
"Hey, I was wondering if I was going to see you guys today." Ron said excitedly, he turned to Becca and smiled. "Hey Becca." She tried not to smile but she couldn't, she smiled back at him. The twins spotted them and walked over.
"Hello Becca." George said with a smile, she smiled back. Then Ron's mom and little sister came over.
"Ron, there you are. Oh, nice to you see you all again." Mrs. Weasley said with a smile, that everyone returned.
"So, Becca, are you finally gunna aid us with our pranking?" Fred asked, she shrugged. Harry turned to Ginny and smiled.
"You're Ginny, right?" Harry asked, she blushed and stuttered a yes. "Since its your first year, if you need any help just let one of us know. Though I should tell you, Hermione is the one you should go for homework."
"Gather 'round everyone, gather 'round!" Gilderoy Lockhart yelled out, he smiled at the crowd which caused a lot of witches to faint.
"Seriously." Becca and Ron said with a hint of disgust in their voices, they turned to look at each other and blushed.
"Yes, it is I, Gilderoy Lockhart. And today I'm here to sign and give away copies of my book, Gilderoy Lockhart - Magical me." He continued, he threw a book to the crowd and the book landed on Hermione's head.
"Ow!" Hermione said picking it up, Harry moved over to her.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked, concern filling his green eyes. She looked into his eyes and found she couldn't say anything.
"Is that Harry Potter?" He heard Lockhart say, Fred and George stood in front of him and Hermione.
"Are you…"
"Kidding me?"
"We missed him again, George." Fred said convincingly, Lockhart shrugged and turned back to his book. Harry and Hermione were oblivious to everything as they stared into each other's eyes.
"Sorry to interrupt…"
"But mum and Sirius said to get out of here." Fred said and pulled to two away from each other.
"Took you four long enough!" Mr. Weasley scolded, Fred and George put their hands up.
"Not our faults, they were to busy having a staring contest to listen." Fred said, Hermione and Harry blushed and looked away. Becca and Ron smiled at each other.
"Alright, Ginny and your mum went to get your books. Stay here until we come out." Mr. Weasley said, everyone nodded and he went in.
"Lee!" George yelled, Lee Jordan came over with a nod to the group.
"Fred, George. Zonko's is having a sale." Lee said, Becca's eyes lit up and Harry had to hold her back.
"Sweet." The twins said together and they started to walk away.
"Fred, George! Get me something!" Becca called out, they nodded and continued on their way. Hermione took out the book that hit her on the head and started reading. Three people came out, the first one snatched the book from Hermione.
"Hey!" Hermione yelled but stopped when she saw who it was. Draco smirked as he tore out a couple pages of her book, it wasn't any important bits he knew she would want to read.
"Give it back Malfoy." Harry said, Lucius Malfoy turned to him.
"Harry Potter, standing up for the weak and worthless." Lucius said with an evil smile, Harry looked at him with disgust.
"Its fine, father, lets just go. I don't want to spend to much time with this filth if I can help it." Draco said, Lucius turned to him.
"Be quiet Draco!" Lucius hissed, Becca came up behind Harry. "Ah, Miss Black. Lovely to see you again."
"Cant say the same for you, or you're sorry excuse of a son." Becca said coolly, Lucius looked at her.
"You're just like your mother." Lucius said with evil eyes, Becca grinned.
"Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment." Becca stated, the Weasley family and Sirius started to come up.
"You shouldn't, she was arrogant and worth less than the mud on the bottom of my shoe." Lucius hissed, Becca started taking deep breaths and looked at him with hatred in her eyes. He smirked at her, but Luke looked him straight in the eye.
"She was my mum too. No matter what I think of my sister's choice of friends when you speak about my mother you speak about me." Luke said and stormed off.
"May I have permission to go after him?" Draco asked, Lucius nodded and Draco took off. That's when Ron came up behind Becca and noticed she was angry.
"Beccs, lets go get an ice cream or something." Ron said, she reluctantly turned around and they took off for the ice cream shop along with Percy, one of Ron's older brothers.
"Ah, young love. And I thought she could sink no lower, hanging around with a Weasley." Lucius scoffed, Mr. Weasley took a step forward.
"Watch your mouth, Lucius." Mr. Weasley said coldly, Lucius smirked at him then turned around to face Hermione, who stayed silent.
"You must be Miss Granger, the know-it-all muggle born. Yes, Draco has told me all about you." Lucius said with a smirk, Harry went around him to stand in between him and Hermione.
"Leave her alone." Harry said, Lucius' smirk stayed on.
"Very protective of this one aren't you, Potter? Is this your girlfriend?" Lucius asked, Harry looked at her over his shoulder.
"Well, I think we should be going. Hermione, we'll take you home. Nice seeing you all again." Sirius said, he pulled Harry and Hermione to the ice cream shop.
"Thanks for the ice cream, Ron. I'll pay you back… one day." Becca said with a smile as they came out of the shop.
"I just wanted ice cream and I didn't want to go alone." Ron said hiding a smile from her, unfortunately she caught it.
"Sure, coming back to ours?" Becca asked, Ron looked over at his family and sighed.
"Cant, since its Ginny's first year mum wants all of us to go together. Sorry." Ron said, Becca looked at the ground then back at him.
"No problem. See you on the train?" Becca asked, Ron nodded his head. He gave her and Harry a quick hug. Becca, Hermione, Harry and Sirius went over to Tom's place.
"If you two want to go ahead, I'll just walk Hermione home." Sirius said, Becca gave Hermione a hug then Harry moved over and held her for a bit longer than necessary.
"See you on the train." Hermione said and walked out with Sirius.
Harry entered his room and moved to the bed to see a house elf, but it wasn't Reck. The house elf stopped bouncing and turned to Harry.
"Harry Potter." It breathed out, Harry sighed.
"Becca!" Harry called out, but heard nothing but silence. "Who are you?" The house elf jumped off the bed.
"Dobby, sir. Dobby came to warn Harry Potter not to go back to Hogwarts." Dobby said, Harry shook his head.
"I'm sorry but I'm going back." Harry said and fell back onto his bed.
"Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts, much danger arises there." Dobby exclaimed only to stop short when there was a knock on his door.
"Harry? Are you in there?" Becca asked, Harry stood up and went to the door. He turned and saw Dobby was gone. He shook his head and opened the door.
