Summary: Are red heads the only kind of girls that attract a Potter boy? Not anymore.
Disclaimer: I do not own clearly.
FIRST YEAR
"Excuse me." a 1st year girl said as she tried to pass the other 1st years crowding in a group in front of her. They were all boys, taller and bigger than her.
"Excuse yourself." one of them said pushing her back lightly. She stumble backwards, but caught her self.
"Go away." another boy said barely even looking at her. "This is Gryffindor territory. No Ravenclaws." he said. She glared at them. "Especially ugly ones like you." he said. Then all of them laughed. Tears filled her eyes and she walked the other way. The Head Boy, Teddy Lupin watched as his little 1st year god-cousin call his fellow student ugly and shook his head in disgust. The little girl ran back and sat on the floor and cried.
a tall silver blond haired girl saw her.
"Are you lost?" she asked. the girl shook her head. "what's wrong?" she asked.
"Some boy from Gryffindor told me I couldn't pass though because I was in Ravenclaw and it was Gryffindor territory, then called me ugly." she said.
"You're not ugly." she said. "And the only Gryffindor territory is in their dorms and common rooms." she said. "Come on. I'll take you back to the Ravenclaw dorms." she said . the little girl stood up.
"Thanks." she said.
"It's OK. I'm Victoire Weasley by the way." she said extending her hand.
"I'm Magnolia Kirsten." she said shaking her hand. They smiled at each other and walked to their dorms.
"Teddy!!!" James Potter yelled when he saw Teddy at breakfast. It was still early and not a lot of people were there.
"We need to talk." Teddy said pulling James into a corner.
"OK!" he said happily. "what's up?"
"Last night I saw you and your friends being mean to another student." Teddy said.
"We weren't being mean to anyone." James said.
"Really?" he asked. "What about that Ravenclaw girl?"
"Oh. Her? she was bothering us."
"You could have made room for her to pass." Teddy said. "That's all she wanted."
"But..."
"Go apologize to her."
"Teddy!" James whined.
"I'll tell your Mum." he threatened.
"Fine." James said.
"There she is." Teddy said pointing at the girl who just walked in. She pointed at Teddy and James who looked confused.
"There he is." Magnolia said.
"I'll take care of it." Victoire said. The girls walked towards them. "James Sirius Potter! How dare you say such mean things to a fellow student!" Victoire yelled at him.
"You told her!!!?" James yelled at Teddy.
"I didn't tell anyone!" Teddy yelled.
"You knew about this!?" Victoire asked.
"well, I was...I was going to make James apologize." Teddy said scared at the angry part veela in front of him.
"I'm sorry." James said to Magnolia who was looking very angry. She had her arms crossed and she glared at him. She whipped her head around and walked away without a word. "Did you just see what she did!?" James yelled. "She ignored me!!"
"You called her ugly!" Victoire yelled at him.
"No one can let that go can they?" James asked walking away. And the war began.
SECOND YEAR
"GIVE ME THE NEWT!!!!" Magnolia yelled at James. They were paired up in Potions.
"NO!!! YOU GOT TO STIR, I GET TO PUT THE NEWT IN!!!" James yelled.
"That's it!" Magnolia yelled whipping her wand out. James followed and their potion exploded in their faces before any dueling was done.
THIRD YEAR
"move, Potter." Magnolia said.
"Why would I Kirsten?" James asked. "we've been over this. This is Gryffindor territory. No Ravenclaws. Especially ugly ones like you." he said smirking.
"Who wants a slut? Who wants a man-whore? Just go to Gryffindor!" Magnolia said in a cheer very loudly.
"HEY!" James yelled at her. She just smirked and charmed his robes to say MAN WHORE on the back.
FOURTH YEAR
(U.R stands for Ugly Ravenclaw)
"Where's U.R??" James asked Rose and Albus who were in the compartment with their best friend, Scorpius Malfoy. Rose and Scorpius landed in Ravenclaw while Albus ended up in Gryffindor. All were in their 3rd year.
"I heard she was with Felicity in the next compartment." Rose said.
"Thanks." James said closing the door.
"So, when do you think he'll figure out he likes her?" Scorpius asked.
"i have faith in James. I believe he'll figure it out between now and the end of the year." Rose said.
"No way. His 7th year." Albus said.
"I say...Over next summer break." Scorpius said.
"Are you willing to bet on that?" Rose asked.
James opened the next compartment door to find a blond haired girl with light blue eyes reading a book. "where's...."
"She's in the bathroom." Felicity said not bothering to look up.
"Oh." James said. "I'll be back." James said closing that compartment door and going back to his friends. He saw Magnolia leaning against the door.
"Oi! Ugly Ravenclaw!!!" he yelled. She didn't look up. She just smiled and kissed the boy coming towards her and they walked away. James suddenly felt angry and hurt. He wanted to rip Cody Hanson's head off.
Rose won 15 galleons and 9 knuts later that month when James went insane over Magnolia and talked to Rose about it.
FIFTH YEAR
"Stupid Potter. Just had to mess up my night." Magnolia said kicking off her heels.
She was in her dorm all alone, in a shimmering strapless white gown, makeup, body glitter, her hair up with a small tiara in the center, and a white sequined mask.
"I spent hours looking like this and for what? To have Potter punch every guy that came near me and ruin everything."
She took out the tiara and threw it out the window.
"That's for making me spend 3 hours doing my hair!" she yelled. She sat down and glared at the floor.
"I wish he would just leave me alone." she said. A tear fell from her eyes. "No. I will not shed any tears over some prat tonight."
"I HATE YOU!!!!" she screamed.
James was on his broom hiding beneath her window.
"Why Magnolia? Why?"
Magnolia stood by the window and thought she heard something. And she thought it was a ghost.
"Didn't you hear me before? He ruined my night. I was so close to being with Bryant. So close."
"why Bryant?" James snarled.
"Because he doesn't annoy the hell out of me."
"Not a good enough reason." James said.
"He's cute, he has jet black hair, blue-green eyes, muscular build, plays quidditch, seeker position mind you, and he's funny."
"Are you sure you described Bryant?" James asked smirking at the fact that he had blue green eyes(From Ginny and Harry), jet black hair, seeker position, cute, muscular build, and he was funny to an extent.
"Yes!" she yelled. "I'm going insane. I really am. I'm talking to something no one can see. Not even me."
James stayed there for a moment.
"Stupid mask. It's nothing but a horrible memory of some guys getting black eyes." And with that she dropped it from her window and went for a shower.
James caught the mask and flew away with it along with the tiara. And he was grinning at the fact Bryant had blond hair.
SIXTH YEAR
KING'S CROSS
"Oi Potter!!" Magnolia yelled across the platform. It was the beginning of Christmas break and everyone was going home. Harry, Albus, and James looked up. "I mean James Potter!!!" She yelled. Albus and Harry looked away laughing when they saw James' face turn pink.
"Hello Magnolia." he said.
"What the...I...How...You!!" she yelled pointing her finger at him.
"Yes?" he asked trying to be smooth.
"My parents are in the States!!! Where am I suppose to spend the holidays!!?"
"This is my problem..How?"
"Apparently YOU were in charge of giving me the letter my parents sent TELLING ME TO STAY AT HOGWARTS!!!! "
"That letter. Sorry." he said. Her eyes narrowed.
"Mr. Potter. Would you mind if I punched your son in the face?" she asked sweetly.
"Not at all. And when you're done, you can come and spend Christmas with us." Harry said.
"No. That's fine. I can probably call..."
"No." Ginny said. "It was James' fault."
"But..."
"If it makes you feel better, we have baby pictures of James." Lily said. Magnolia was silent for a moment.
"Are you sure I won't be a bother..."
"Not at all. The more the merrier." Ron said.
"You can ride with us!" Rose yelled. "We have tons of room."
"No we don't...." James was cut off by Hugo.
"Of course we do. If James rides with Mum." Hugo grinned.
"WHAT!!!?" James yelled.
"James and I will have loads of fun, won't we?" Hermione said wrapping her arms around James. He nodded meekly.
"No. I should be the one riding...."Rose grabbed her wrist and pulled her close.
"Save me. Please. I'm begging you. Sit with us." Rose pleaded.
"...Alright."Magnolia said. Instantly, Ron took her suitcase and immediately found a place to put it.
"Let's go." Hugo said.
They all piled into the car while James was stuck behind with Hermione checking the platform for anyone who was lost.
"You know James." she said. "If you had given Magnolia that letter, you wouldn't be here with me."
"....."
"Did you really forget to give Magnolia that letter?"
"....."
"Don't speak." she said as James was about to open his mouth. "You're just like your father. I can read you like a book."
"Ibetyoudidn'tknowIwasinlovewithherandthiswasmyplantomakeherfallforme." he said quickly.
"I did." she said.
"Oh." he said turning pink.
"Yes. I know."
"How?"
"It was written all over your face. And your parents read aloud your letters, so it's pretty obvious."
"They read aloud my letters...."
"Only if they aren't boring or too personal."
"That's nice." he said sarcastically.
"And Rose mentioned winning a bet between Albus and Scorpius and I knew it had to either involve quidditch or someone in love."
"...."
"I didn't think it was Albus considering in his letters, it mentioned Quidditch constantly. So I guessed you."
"You're too smart for your own good, Aunt Hermione."
"there are pros and cons." she said. "Let's go before your Grandma Weasley and your mother begin asking questions about what flowers Magnolia wants or when your father and your uncle start asking about her previous and/or current boyfriends." she began walking away very fast.
"wait..What!!!?" James asked.
"Did you really think I was going to keep all that information to myself?" she asked. James' face twisted into fear. "Kidding." she said giggling at his face. James glared at the ground and stepped into the car with Hermione laughing all the way home.
"You're mean Aunt Hermione." James said.
"Darling." she said pulling up in the driveway. "I've been called worse. Much worse." Hermione opened the door and walked into the Potter's household. "We're back!" she yelled.
"Don't expect a nice big welcome." James said.
"I never do." Hermione said taking off her coat and hanging it up. They walked into the kitchen where Albus and Hugo were waiting for the food to be finished, all the girls talking in a big circle, Teddy talking to all the adults, while Rose and Magnolia were missing.
"MUM!!!!" Rose yelled from the top of the stairs. Hermione spun around to see Rose and Magnolia behind her. "can Magnolia stay with us?"
"What did...."
"Dad said sure, but Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny said Magnolia should stay with them."
"Where do you want to stay, Magnolia?" Hermione , Ron, and Ginny stood before Rose and Magnolia.
"It's not like I don't like Mr. and Mrs. Potter, it's just I don't think I will be able to survive living in the same house as Po...James." she said. James turned pink at the sound of his name.
"Plus, there are 2 boys here and only one girl. At our house it's even and Magnolia can totally take Hugo on if he tries anything." Rose said smiling. Hugo glared at her.
"How about if Rose and Hugo stay here?" Harry asked.
"How would that solve the problem, Dad?" Lily asked.
"I know!" Rose yelled. They all stared at her. "Lily is really good at beating Albus up and we all know James won't dare hurt me!" Rose said. "And Magnolia can beat up Hugo and force him to become her slave!!!"
"That came from Hermione's side of the family." Ron said walking away.
"That's a wonderful idea Rose...." Ginny said trying hard not to laugh.
"Great!" Lily said. "Let's go set up my room!!" Lily said. Magnolia followed the two girls upstairs.
"What is with Rose?" Ginny asked noticing Rose's difference in behavior.
"She's in love too." Hermione said. James' ear perked up and grinned widely.
"So Magnolia." Lily said brushing Magnolia's hair. "What's up with you and my brother?"
"I guess Albus and I are friends...I tutor him in Charms...."
"I'm talking about James."
"We hate each other." she said bluntly.
"Hate is a strong word, Magnolia." Rose said sitting on the bed flipping through one of Lily's old magazines.
"What I feel for James is very strong." Magnolia said. "No offense, but what's up with your family? Are you guys planning a wedding or something?" Lily grinned.
"yes." rose said. "You remember Victoire?"
"Yea. she's getting married?"
"Yea. It's June 24th. I think." Lily said.
"Cool." she said. "You guys are so lucky. I'm an only child and so are my parents. Well, my dad has a gay brother, but he and his partner don't have any kids."
"At least you're always the center of attention for the adults." Lily said.
"Yea. Even Grandma Weasley mixes us up." Rose said. "We barely look alike." Magnolia stared at them They did in fact look very different. Rose has chestnut brown hair with red streaks, super long eyelashes, very tall, and stormy blue eyes. Lily had auburn red hair, green eyes, thick eyelashes, and was short.
"How should we do your..." Victoire opened the door.
"Hello." she said.
"Hi." they said.
"I just wanted to ask if you three would be interested in being my bridesmaid for my wedding." she said taking a seat next to Rose.
"We'd love to!!" Lily said jumping up and down.
"What about you, Magnolia?" Rose asked. she nodded.
"Great. We'll can discuss more later. Right now I just need to talk to Daddy about the budget." she said getting up.
"Good luck with that." Rose said.
"If you want, I can talk to Dad about pitching in..."Lily was cut off.
"No need. Aunt Hermione and Mom's helping me get more galleons." Victoire said skipping out of the room.
"With Aunt Hermione, we'll know Victoire's getting the best of the best." Lily said.
"I wonder what our dresses will look like." Rose said.
"I hope not pink." Lily said.
"It will probably be blue." Magnolia said. "It is Teddy's favorite color."
"How do you know his favorite color?"Lily asked. "I thought it was green."
"Really? I was thinking orange." Rose said. Magnolia's face went red.
"YOU!!!!" Lily yelled pointing at her. "You like Teddy and you're planning to ruin the wedding."
"SSSSHHHH!!!" Magnolia yelled at Lily. "I use to like him. Key word use to!!!"
"WELL WELL." Rose said. "Our little Magnolia had a crush on Teddy Lupin."
"Shut up!! It was 5 years ago. Just a silly little first year crush. Everyone has one and grows out of it."
"We don't know about that. You and Teddy could be in a dressing room alone and..."
"LILY!!!" Magnolia yelled blushing even darker. "That would never happen. One, I have been in a room alone with Teddy and no feeling were revived. Second, I want to be little Mary Jane's godmother."
"Mary Jane?" Rose and Lily asked.
"Their first child, duh. Teddy wants a little girl named Mary Jane."
"OK. How do you know so much about Teddy?" Rose asked.
"Teddy and I spent last summer in Rome together remember?"
"Oh yea!!" Lily said."Teddy was in Rome on a mission."
"You were there on an exclusive muggle trip with your summer school." Rose said. Magnolia nodded.
"We were attacked and thankfully everyone survived, but everyone was assigned a bodyguard."
"But, wasn't it a muggle trip?" Lily asked.
"Yes. There were 12 of us, all girls. Everyone had someone watching nearby. And to let you know, Teddy isn't a very good hider."
"How come Teddy didn't tell us?" Rose said.
"the entire thing was confidential." she said.
"Tell us more." Lily urged.
"Why so interested?"
"Because we have nothing else to talk about. And confidential stuff is some much cooler." Lily said. they all smiled.
"So, we were attacked by something unknown and..."
On the other side of the door was James Potter and his Extendable ear 200 (shrinkable)he had received from Fred II a few Christmases ago. He was able to hear though the key hole.
After hearing Magnolia and Teddy spent an entire summer together, he rushed downstairs and pulled Teddy aside.
"What is with you and Magnolia?" he asked.
"What are you talking about, James?" Teddy asked sitting in a chair reading a book.
"I'm talking about last summer." he said. "In Rome where Magnolia and her group was attacked and you followed her around."
"How do..."
"Answer the question Teddy!!" James yelled at him.
"It was nothing James. I was assigned to her and that was it." Teddy said a little scared.
"What did you two do?"
"We walked around Rome, saw the sights, went to the...."
As Teddy droned on and on about his and Magnolia's trip, James went into dream mode.
JAMES IN DREAM MODE
Magnolia is in a tight skirt and camisole while Teddy's wearing jeans and no shirt.
"Oh Teddy. You're so funny." Magnolia giggled.
"Not as funny as you are cute." he said in a deep voice. Magnolia turned red as Teddy drew her closer and.....
REGULAR
"AHHHH!!!!!!" James screamed in Teddy's ear.
"What the hell!!!" Teddy yelled at James, covering his ear. James tried to punch Teddy, but something got in the way.
"JAMES!!" Victoire yelled at him. James jumped back instantly. "Why are trying to beat up my fiancee?"
"He...He...."
"I didn't do anything, Vic." Teddy said. "I was telling him about the summer in Rome with Magnolia and he just went insane on me."
"Wait. You know about this?" James asked Victoire.
"Duh James." she said. "We're engaged. We don't keep secrets from each other." she said.
"Oh. Well, aren't you mad at him?"
"Why would I be?"
"Because he spent an entire summer with another GIRL. A VERY HOT GIRL IN FACT." James said a little too loud. Teddy started snickering.
"I trust Teddy AND Magnolia."Victoire said. "And we were already together at that time and Magnolia isn't a home wrecker." James stared at them and walked away. He walked up back the stairs and almost ran into Magnolia.
"Oh. Sorry." she said quickly looking away.
"No...It was...You just said sorry. To ME." James said. Magnolia stared at him and James could feel his face becoming hot.
"well, I am staying here for the holidays and it's best to be civil to you." she said.
"Right."
"But don't worry. I'll be a bitch back to you when we reach Hogwarts." she said walking past brushed past him, touching his arm and an idea struck in his mind.
"FRED!!!" James yelled running back down the stairs. "I'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA!!!"
