Ch 2

Zero, why is everyone staring at that boy?

That's Harry Potter- your brother. She replies.

Dumbledore takes us to a giant marble building with a bunch of goblins in it. I'm too busy looking around to notice that he says something to the goblin and gives him a key. He calls me over and Zero and I get in a cart.

It takes us to a vault filled with coins, but I have no idea what they are.

The silver ones are sickles, the gold ones are galleons, and the bronze ones are knuts. Thats all you really need to know right now. She puts in my mind. I grab my pouch that I always keep at my waist and fill it with coins.

"There- that's enough for both of us." I tell her. Then I see a picture frame and grab it. It's of two people who I guess are my parents, a boy who I guess is Harry, and a baby me. I realize that I look just like my mother, with the red hair and all. The picture is moving, but I'm in the wizarding world- anything is possible.

"Hurry up!" Zera says.

"I'm coming. Don't get your feathers in a twist!" She gives me a look that could probably kill me if look could actually kill.

We ride back up to see Harry and the redheads getting in a cart. I smile at him and he smiles back... then does a double take. I see him mouth mom, and I shake my head.

"You're scaring the poor boy. He honestly thinks you're his mum!" I laugh and look at Zera.

"you honestly can't believe that!" I say to her.

"I can read his mind! I know what he is thinking!" She laughs back at me. At this, the redheads are giving her funny looks.

"They heard you..." I say. She flushes red and we run away laughing.

Dumbledore left us, so I look at the list. We run around getting different things until all that's left is our wands.

"Okay... Olivanders?" I ask her.

"Sure." Zera says.

We walk in, and I start singing. She quickly joins in.

Everybody cut loose

footloose

kick off your Sunday shoes

ooh wee-

Then an old guy came in clapping. He looked like Einstein with flatter hair. I'm guessing that he was Olivander.

"Very good! Now, I'm guessing that you're here for your wands?"

"What else would we be here for?" Zero says, but you can tell that she's joking.

"I'll go first." I say.

"You look just like a girl named Lily Evans. She got married to James Potter... what's you're name?"

"Phoenix..." I look at Zero. She nods. "Phoenix Potter. The girl that everyone thought died."

He looks shocked, then hands me a wand.

"I have a feeling that this is the wand for you..." He trails off and I take the wand. A warm feeling spreads through me and I smile.

"This is it." I say, sure that is my wand.

"Interesting... this particular wand has a core of phoenix feather. The phoenix that gave this feather gave two others- one that gave you the scar on your face, and one that belongs to your brother."

I sigh, and wait on Zero to finish. When she finally finds a wand, we decide to get a pet. I find a tiger cub that will stay a cub forever, a dragon that curls around your wrist and is about the size of a small snake, and a phoenix. We decide that we will get all of these since they all seem to have a bond with me. I name the dragon Fenga which is Greek for glimmer. I named him that because of the blue sparkles going down his back. I name the phoenix Tears, because phoenix tears will heal- like mine. The tiger is a bit harder to name, but I finally decide on Thalia. I was a bit (read: majorly) obsessed with Percy Jackson, and now that I look at the card, and it says it can control electricity and I feel like it is fitting- Thalia, daughter of Zeus.

Zero picks out an owl for us to share and a cat that she names Snowball because it's pure black. We decide to name the owl Mr Bob Pants.

When we are done, we realize we have no idea where Dumbledore is and no idea on how we are getting to Hogwarts.

"So, how the hell are we getting to Hogwarts?" I ask Zero.

"Well there's a guy with extremely greasy hair that's coming our way. He has our names in his head and he's complaining about being a messenger for Dumbledore, so I'm guessing that he's coming to get us."

"Should we freak him out a little bit- he's about to walk right past us." I say

"Why not?" She says, and puts a thought into his head as well as mine.

Hey Batman! You're about to walk right past us!

He looks around, confused, and I'm rolling on the ground in laughter.

"You friggin called him Batman!" I manage to get out.

He looks over at us, and does a double take when he sees me. I manage to wave, and I hear another thought- Why you looking at my friend like that, Batman? I start laughing again. He starts heading over to us, and he looks at us before asking if we heard a voice. I share a look with Zero, and say, "No... are you sure you're mentally stable, Batman?" Zero starts laughing again, this time even harder.

"Of course we heard it, ding dong!" Zero says.

"Well then, let us be on our way, you two."

Rude. He didn't even ask our names- although he probably knows you already. He thought you were a chica named Lily.

I snort, and Snape looks at me funny.

"Grab my arm." He says, and I grab Zeros arm and look at him.

"No, I don't think we will." I concentrate on the thought of Hogwarts, and I feel the familiar heat of the flames surrounding me. Soon we're in the front entrance hall, and a stern looking women is staring at us in shock.

"Hello there!" I say. Who said growing up in a dog crate, escaping twice, and being captured again never taught me any manners.

Zero snorts. "It didn't teach you ay manners. You're just crazy!"

The lady is still staring at me, and I look away. Thankfully, Dumbledore comes in just then looking amazed.

"How did you get in here without Professor Snape?" He asks.

"Fire travel- you don't know me!" Then I just decide to start singing.

What makes you beautiful? I think. Zero nods, and I start leading.

Your insecure

Don't know what for.

You're turning heads when you walk through the door.

Don't need make-up

to cover up

We are then interrupted by Batman- sorry, Snape walking in.

"Hiya Batman, whazz up?" He just gives me a strange look. Dumbledore is smiling, and the lady is suppressing a smile.

I reach down and pick up Thalia, make sure Fenga is on my wrist, and check to see if Tears is on my shoulder. Thalia shocks me, and I say, "Bad Thalia. Bad little tiger cub girl." Dumbledore is looking at me funny, so I look at him the same way.

"Thals controls electricity, to I named her after Thalia, in Percy Jackson." He looks like he has no idea what I'm talking about, and Zero is shaking her head. "Oh. You have no idea what I'm talking about, do ya Gandolf?" Zero is on the ground laughing, and Dumbledore is giving me a strange look.

Snape's about to read your mind- walls up! I put my mind walls up and look at Snape.

"Bad boy. I'm not mentally stable, and I have things in my past you don't wanna know about." Zero starts laughing, and Snape looks shocked.

"Or me!" Zero says and I know that he's just trying to read either of our minds. I laugh and let them down, but start singing 'Red solo cup.'

I laugh at his face when he realizes what I'm doing, and he gives me the evil eye.

Say your name is Lily Evans and you're here to haunt Severus.

Why?

Because it'll freak him out. You apparently look just like your mum.

Fine.

"My name is Lily Evans."
