Prologue
1981 October
Kathryn Statham sat playing with her two year old daughter in the room that her two children shared,her new born baby girl lay peacefully up stairs in her crib "Okay rascal time for bed" she said finally Susan whined making her mother laugh,
"but Mummy!" the two year old protested
"Now!" Susan ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Kathryn went over to the crib where her baby lay
"hello baba, you are such a pretty baby" she cooed to the sleeping child "Dada is sorry he cant be with you, daddy wished he was here but he's-" all of a sudden there was a knock at the door "make sure you get in bed Susan!" she called to the little girl and went down stairs. She looked through the peep hole to see her friend Remus (who was a year older than her) Kathryn opened the door "Remus!" she began cheerfully than saw his tired and solemn expression and her face dropped almost immediantly "whats happened?" she asked worriedly "it.." she began "it can't be" she shook her head as tears filled her eyes "please tell me their not!" but he just looked at her sadly "no! no! it cant be" she sobbed as her friend pulled her into a hug "what about Harry!" she cried,
"he's going to live with Lily's sister Petunia" Remus said sadly. Kathryn looked up outraged
"that old bat! he'll hate it there!" she said angrily. At any other time Remus would have chuckled at her temper but now was not the time for laughing "who has done this? who would betray them?!" she asked him
he hesitated not really wanting to admit it himself "Sirius" he said "Sirius betrayed them" at this news Kathryn looked as though she was going to faint
"oh lord" she breathed, Kathryn and Sirius although the one year age gap had been very good friends but their relationship became strained when Kath and Regulus fell in loved and had two children together. "I can't stay long but I hope you will be alright" she nodded weakly as he left she closed the door, it was too much right now her friend was in prison she had no idea where her lover was, but she had to be strong.
A month later Regulus had been found dead apparently by Kreacher it hurt her to know that her baby girls would never really get to know their dad but once again she had to be strong. she had not been able to see harry and Kathryn simply could bring her self to go to Sirius's trial so again she had to be strong. she would be strong for herself, Susan, and Baby Georgia.
10 years later 1991
"Susan give it back!" I shouted to my older sister; Susan Julia Statham was two years older than me and not to mention prettier, she had shoulder length wavy black hair and olive eyes that went perfectly with her pale skin and pink lips. She was a good sister, honest! but when you have just under an hour before your leaving for Hogwarts and she runs of into her room with your wand (which was 12 and a half inches oak with a veela hair core) and locks the door behind you, well your naturally going to be a bit frantic "come on Sue please open the door!" I begged her while banging on the door.
"I cant hear you!" she taunted from the other side luckily my mother walked past just in time
"Susan give your sister back her wand we don't have time for this!" she told her I heard Susan sigh and open the door
"fine here you go" she smirked I stuck my tongue out at her then ran up stairs to my room (before you ask I have three floors to my house and an attic), I placed it carefully along with my uniform then moved to the bathroom to get my toiletries. I grabbed my tooth brush and face wash and turned to leave but stopped when I saw the mirror on the wall next to the door I sighed at what I saw, I had dark brown hair just a few inches past my shoulders, grey-ish/blue eyes (that got lighter or darker according to the light). One thing was certain i was no where near as pretty as Susan with my freckles and slightly chubby nose 'will i ever look like Susan?' I asked myself I know for a fact that almost every boy in her year fancied. Speaking of the devil, Susan walked in I looked at her with slightly sad eyes
"you okay?" she asked furrowing her brows slightly I gave a small smile then nodded
"yeah of course" she smiled and held out her hand after I closed my trunk having packed everything I needed "come on than don't want to miss the train!" I smiled broadly then grabbed her hand pulling my trunk behind me.
The trunks were in the boot the car engine was on and we were ready to go, I was struggling to keep still I was so excited "do you think I'll get into Slytherin? I hope not I mean I think I remember you saying dad was a Slytherin but I don't want to be put with all the horrid people" I told them. Susan tore her gaze from the window and looked at me "there are a number of reasons why you couldn't be a Slytherin" she stated "one of them being blood" I looked at her with a puzzled expression and she sighed "we're half bloods, mum was a muggle-born witch and dad was a pure-blood as you know" she went on "but the vast majority of Slytherin's are pure bloods, stuck up ones at that" I nodded
"like the Malfoys" I said
"Exactly like the Malfoys" Sue agreed "but don't worry" she smiled "if anything you'll probably end up in Gryffindor, or Ravenclaw like me" ah yes Susan was a Ravenclaw surprise,surprise. She played on the Quidditch team as back up seeker, she had loads of friends (that were pretty like her, yes she is popular) but most of all she was passionate and caring, not to mention brave "nah" I said "I'm not very brave or smart" Susan laughed
"yes you are" Susan said "remember that time you fell out that big tree in the back garden and broke your arm?" I nodded "you didn't cry once did you" she finished I rolled my eyes "just because I don't cry at a little bit of pain doesn't make me brave" I told her "it makes me strong" Sue only rolled her eyes and stayed quiet for a moment
"anyway" she started "Mum was in Gryffindor, weren't you mum. I'll eat my wand if you don't get into Gryffindor I swear" she continued staring out the window
"well I hope you have a good digestive system" I muttered.
We were standing on the platform getting ready to leave "okay be good you two" Mum said while hugging us "stay away from boys and remember to write" I rolled my eyes and laughed
"yes mum" me and Susan said in unison smiling,
"Kathryn?" we heard a voice say "Kathryn Statham?" we turned round to see a plump women with ginger hair and a kind face
"Molly Weasley!" Mum smiled and hugged her old friend (?)
"its been so long!" molly (Mrs. Weasley) exclaimed. mum nodded and pulled back
"oh I know nearly two years!" oh yes I remember Mrs. Weasley! didn't she have a son that's my age? what was his name Donald? no...Ronald that's it! "Mum we should be going" Susan said finally
"Oh Susan how Beautiful you've grown!" Molly sighed "and you too Georgia and can see your become taller every minute!" that was hardly true I mean I was quiet small at around 4'11 I smiled politely as did Susan "well we can all have a good catch up later!" Molly smiled "good to see you girls!, now Kathryn hows about we go to Diagon alley and get a drink?" we heard them say a we walked off. After Susan checked I would be okay she left to find her friends while I left to make friends, finally I came to a compartment that held three girls, two that were obviously twins with dark skin and beautiful long black hair and one that had long blonde hair and brown eyes that stood out on her pale skin (she also had quite a pointy nose if I did say so myself) I opened the compartment door gingerly. "Emm hi, I'm Georgia Statham" I started "please may I sit with you?" I asked them. Their eyes grew wide
"Are you Susan Statham's sister?!" the blonde asked me I nodded slowly "Oh my yes of course you can! I'm Lavender Brown and this is Pavarti and Padma" she said quickly. After about an hour of talking (mostly them) we got changed into our robes and they were all asking questions about Susan which I answered politely suddenly our compartment door opened and we all looked to see a girl with lots of slightly frizzy had dressed neatly in her school robes "have you seen a toad, Neville Longbottom has lost his" she asked slightly snottily "no sorry" I apologized with a smile, she smiled back and was about to introduce her self when Lavender snapped
"so go away we don't want you here!" I gave her an apologetic glance after seeing her glare at Lavender then walking off. "That was a bit unnecessary wasn't it" I told Lavender Disapprovingly she scoffed and rolled her eyes
"it was obvious she was a know it all, they are never fun to be around!" I furrowed my brows slightly
"yes well if you'll excuse me I will be back in a minute" I told them not really enjoying their company, with that I exited the room and began to search for another compartment. I came across one that had two boys inside it; a red head and a black haired boy with rounded glasses I opened the compartment door and got their attention "hello could I sit here? my friends in the other compartment weren't very nice" I told them, the one with the glasses nodded
"yes of course" I smiled and sat down across from them.
"We thought you were going to ask about that blasted toad" stated the red head "some snotty girl came in just before and asked us, she was a bit stuck up if you ask me!" I smiled taking a liking to the two already "I'm Ron Weasley by the way" I widened my eyes in shock
"I've met you before!" I blurted out, I blushed slightly realising how stalkerish that might have sounded "I mean I've met your family before, I'm Georgia Statham" I told him. He smiled before saying
"Oh I remember you! that was ages ago! this is my friend Harry, Harry Potter" he said sounding slightly proud I tried my best to keep the shock of my face which I think went well
"its nice to meet you Harry" I smiled and shook his hand, I ignored the butterflies my stomach got when he smiled
"you're not going to ask for my autograph then or tell me how I'm in history books?" he asked slightly relieved
"not unless you want me to!" I said cheerfully. We talked for a while about various things such as Quidditch, lessons, and eventually we came onto the subject of houses "I hope I'm in Gryffindor almost all of my family has been in there for generations" Ron told us
"Anything but Slytherin from what you told me Ron they all sound like a right bunch" Harry said, I nodded at the two boys
"I'm not sure where I will go" I said to them but they looked at me in confusion "well" I explained "my father was in Slytherin but,my mum was a Gryffindor really I have a 50/50 chance" harry nodded then smiled
"Don't worry we'll still be your friend if your in Slytherin" I smiled gratefully at him then I heard Ron mutter
"speak for yourself" I glared at him even though he didn't actually know that I'd heard him. Finally we felt the train jolt gently as it came to a slow stop, this was it: I was finally going to Hogwarts!
