Okay guys, I'm going to update as much as I can, I can't promise you that I'll have my chapters up so close together though.
The only reason I have this chapter up right now is because I wrote it as soon as I had finished writing chapter one.
All character's belong to JK Rowling except my OC's. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy chapter two!
Chapter Two:
Kreacher and Ginny apparated onto platform 9¾ and not far away from them were Ginny's relatives. First she saw the Malfoy's. That she didn't mind so much. It was the Riddle's that she was worried about.
Isabella was the first out of the Riddle family to spot her and she gave her cousin a grin. Ginny was happy that she got along with at least one of her cousins. It was Bella's parents she despised. Who could blame her though? They were abusive towards her. 'Thank god I have Kreacher to look after me though. I mean, I have been living with him for two years now, but I never thought he would take such good care of me. I didn't even think the portrait of grandma Walburga would like me, but she doesn't really yell at me like she did to dad. I can't believe she told Kreacher to fix fathers place on the family tree and add my mum. I guess she really does think I have real Black potential. I just hope I'm not in Slytherin.' Ginny was dragged out of her thoughts.
"Ginevra, get over here, now." She heard from her aunt. Ginny groaned quietly.
"Draco, Astoria, Scorpius." nodded Bellatrix almost caringly as her nephew's family gathered on Platform 9 ¾ beside her own.
"Scorpius I'm sure you're going to keep an eye out for my Isabella while at school, aren't you?" Tom asked, and then looked towards his daughter proudly.
"Of course Uncle Tom, I'd never let anything happen to my favourite cousin." replied Scorpius with a grin. Bella looked up at her cousin, smiling.
"Now, now Scorpius just because she isn't a pure blood, don't you forget about Ginevra. Even if she's a blood traitor like her father." Bellatrix gestured towards her niece that was almost a year younger than her own daughter.
The youngest girl shrunk into her sweater, trying to hide from the prying eyes of her relatives. She looked at Kreacher. Kreacher cleared his throat. "It's time to be off Ms. Black." He reminded her. Ginny nodded, turning to leave Scorpius grabbed her arm.
"She's an odd one Aunt Bella, I've never seen her hair or her eyes, what's she hiding from her own family? Not even two years ago when she fell off the broom at that Ministry party and Albus' god brother had to check her and Lily over for injuries." Scorpius asked.
"She's not normal, she's a Metamorphagus." Tom stated.
Scorpius' eyes widened, his jaw dropping slightly. He knew what a metamorphagus was, but he never thought he'd of been related to one. "Take your glasses off, and take your hood down, I want to see what you look like!" Scorpius exclaimed excitedly. The petite girl stepped back, trying to hide more, stepping behind the house elf that had accompanied her.
Isabella looked at Kreacher. "Why are you here?" grumbled Isabella.
"My master needed me to get her here. I wasn't going to let her floo here with her trunk. It's my duty as her house elf and care taker." Kreacher sneered.
Astoria Malfoy looked down at her only son. "Time to get on the train Scorpius; don't forget to look after your cousins. Now go, we don't want you to miss the train. I hope I won't be getting any owls soon, telling me of your misbehaviour either." She warned.
"SCORPIUS!" Albus Potter screamed, having just seen his best friend since getting on the platform. Scorpius nodded his head, looking at Albus with a mischievous grin.
"Scorpius, take your cousins with you. It's their first time to Hogwarts; you best take care of them, especially since they'll be in Slytherin with you and your friend, Potter." Draco said grudgingly.
"Father, please. His name is Albus. You'd like him if you got to know him, I'm sure of it." beamed Scorpius. "Come on Bella, come on Ginevra." Scorpius mumbled. Bella walked right beside Scorpius, chatting idly, while Ginny walked out of step behind them, looking at her feet as she walked. "Master, I'll put take your trunk on for you." Kreacher told her. Ginny nodded, looking at her house elf. "Thanks for everything Kreacher."
"Ginevra, are you listening to me?" Scorpius asked. "Don't call me Ginevra. It's Ginny." She warned her cousin. He rolled his eyes, knowing she couldn't see him.
"Whatever." He replied. Ginny sighed, walking next to Kreacher.
"How was your summer break Scor?" Albus asked him as they got to the train.
"Great, we went to visit mum's side of the family for three weeks, then came home and spent some time with father's parents." Scorpius replied. "What about yourself?"
Albus groaned, remembering his recent summer events. "I had to listen to Lily, go on and on about how excited she was to be able to come to Hogwarts with James and I this year. Then James had the nerve to tell me to stop playing quidditch, and go do my Potions homework! Can you imagine? Then the bloody git went out to play quidditch with Rose, Fred, Molly, Victorie, Teddy and Hugo! I mean, come on. I'm on the quidditch team for Slytherin I'm the damn seeker. James will be sorry when we beat Gryffindor though." ranted Albus. They had finally found a carriage to sit in close to the back of the train, Scorpius opened it, grinning.
"By the way Albus, these are my cousins. Isabella Riddle, and Ginevra Black. Do you remember them from the Ministry party from two years ago?" Scorpius asked. Albus nodded, looking over to Isabella who nodded towards Albus with the same "I don't care" attitude as her mother, whilst Ginny glared at Scorpius.
"I said, don't call me Ginevra." She growled.
Albus shuddered. "Dad always said that Sirius had a temper like his mother. I think Ginevra here got her dad's temper."
Ginny glared at Albus. "I do not have a temper."
"You actually do Gin. Mum's told me all about grandmother. She didn't consider the blood traitor as a part of our family after he was sorted into Gryffindor." Bella stated.
Ginny glared at Bella, growling "Don't talk about my father Bella. You haven't the right too. Now I'm leaving."
With that little Ginny Black walked away from the back of the train, searching for an empty compartment for herself. She passed a few people, looking at Kreacher. "The trains gonna take off soon Kreacher. You should go back home, I can handle my trunk." Ginny smiled, putting her hand out to take her trunk. Kreacher nodded, giving up the trunk and apparated away. It was heavy, especially with how small she was, but she managed.
Finally, Ginny found an empty compartment, opening the doors; she dragged her large trunk inside.
Once she had gotten completely inside, she closed the door and sighed in relief. Looking at her trunk, she frowned, pushing it towards the window. She took off her hood and sunglasses, leaning back against the chair and began to relax.
About ten minutes after Ginny had settled in, she heard a soft tap on her compartment door; she looked at the door, and saw whom she remembered to be Lily Potter. Ginny quickly replaced her sunglasses and hood, as the small red headed girl walked into the compartment.
"I'm sorry... but everywhere else is full... Can I stay in here?" The red head asked.
Ginny nodded her head, looking at her companion; she noticed that the girls red hair went past her shoulders, but only just. 'Hmm, she cut her hair; it was longer two years ago.' Ginny thought. Suddenly, the door opened again, this time it was a male who was already in Gryffindor robes.
"James!" The redhead exclaimed.
The boy grinned, hugging the girl. "Hey Lils, thought you might want some help putting your trunk up here." He said as he lifted it into the luggage compartment. James noticed the smaller girl, then the luggage at her feet. "Would you like me to put that in the luggage compartment for you?" James asked the girl. She simply nodded, letting him put her things away. "Well Lils, if you need anything, just come find me, alright?" he told her as he went to the door.
Lily nodded, waving her brother a goodbye. The red haired girl sat next to Ginny, eyeing her up and down. "I'm Lily, Lily Luna Potter." The red haired girl smiled.
Ginny looked at her through the sunglasses. "I'm Ginny." She whispered. Lily looked at her. "Ginny...?" The girl sighed. "My name is Ginevra Nymphadora Black. But please, don't call me Ginevra. I go by Ginny. And, we've met before. Two years ago at a Ministry party. We played quidditch and I fell off my broom and you caught me." She said in a bit of a rush.
Lily smiled. "I remember you Ginny."Ginny nodded slightly, still looking at Lily. "Do you always wear sunglasses and a hood Ginny?" Lily asked innocently.
Ginny looked away, biting her bottom lip slightly. "No, only when I go out in the open because my aunt and uncle always made me wear them when I went out in public. If I didn't they'd use the cruciatus curse on me. I don't live with them anymore though. I live with my house elf Kreacher." She answered.
Lily frowned. "That's terrible though. They treated you horribly." Ginny looked at Lily again, with a blank expression. "You don't want to know the real me Lily. The only family I have that actually cares about me, is the house elf that father told to look after me before he passed away." stated Ginny.
Lily looked confused. "Wait, you said your last name is Black, right?" Ginny nodded. "Is your father Sirius Black?"
Ginny nodded. "And Kreacher looks after you?" she asked surprised. Ginny smiled slightly. "I get along better with Kreacher then my dad ever did. That's why dad made Kreacher my care taker if I ever wanted to get away from my cousins' family."
"Who's your cousin Ginny?" inquired Lily.
"Isabella Riddle. Her mother Bellatrix is an 'ex' death eater and her father Tom hates me because I'm not a pure blood." Ginny said without emotion. Lily frowned.
"That really is awful. I'm sorry."
Ginny shrugged. "I'm only half blood. Her dad just doesn't like me because I don't see things the same way he does, and because I'm not a pure blood. He's evil. You're dad knows him, and a bunch of others as 'You Know Who' or 'He who must not be named.'
Lily looked at Ginny. "Her father is Voldemort?" Ginny smiled slightly. "Sadly, yes."
Lily kept looking at Ginny. This was starting to make Ginny uncomfortable.
"Ginny, will you take your hood and sunglasses off please? I don't want you to have to hide who you are or what you are from me." Lily asked her.
Ginny stared at her. "Do you really wanna know what I am?" Ginny asked
Lily nodded her head, watching Ginny put her hood down and take off her sunglasses. Lily looked over Ginny, frowning. "I don't see why they made you wear those."
Ginny looked down, sighing "Call me by my first name, or my middle name."
"But... you said..." began Lily being cut off by Ginny. "Just do it." Lily watched as Ginny looked at her and said "Ginevra Nymphadora." Lily watched as her new friend clenched her teeth, but noticed her eyes turn red and her hair as well. Lily didn't know what to say as her mouth hung open in shock. "Y-you're a metamorphagus?" gasped Lily.
Ginny nodded as she reached for her sunglasses, surprised when Lily grabbed them, pulled them closer to her body.
"Please... don't put them back on Ginny... I-I like it." Lily smiled.
Ginny blushed slightly. 'She's always been kind to me. I'm glad we get along she's even going to accept me knowing I can change my appearance.'
"Y-you m-mean i-it..?" stuttered Ginny nervously.
Lily nodded and looked out the window and the sun set. "Oooh! Look Ginny!" Ginny looked out the window as Lily asked, and smiled. "It's beautiful." The girls said together, looking at each other, smiling. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, both girls looked at the door, realising Lily had been leaning over Ginny. This caused their bodies to become very close while looking out the window.
"Girls, you—Lily, why are you practically on top of..." James trailed off.
"Ginny. Her name is Ginny Black. Her father was dad's godfather!" Lily beamed.
"Oh, well, it's a pleasure Ginny, either way Lily, why are practically on top of her?"
Lily pointed at the window, smiling "Look at the sunset James! It's really pretty." James chuckled, shaking his head. "I came by to tell you, you should start changing into your robes. We'll be at Hogsmeade soon."
"Thanks James." Lily replied.
"You're welcome Lils. Nice meeting you Ginny." James said as he walked out of the room.
Lily sat up, jumping out of her seat then sighed in frustration. Ginny stood up, looking at her friend in confusion.
"What's wrong Lily?" asked Ginny.
"I left my wand in my trunk, so I can't get it down." sighed Lily.
"Oh. Well, I've got my wand here, so I'll get the both of them down." suggested Ginny. Lily nodded, turning pink in the cheeks, slightly embarrassed. After Ginny had gotten the trunks down, they quickly grabbed their uniforms, Lily making sure she grabbed her wand.
"Let's find the toilets, and change shall we?" Lily said, casually grabbing Ginny's hand pulling her towards their destination. The girls changed rather quickly, looking at each other, they grinned.
As they started towards their compartments, they felt the train come to a stop. They saw a door open, and heard "First years, first years over here. Come on now don't be shy. First years!"
Lily giggled. "That'd be Hagrid. He's a friend of my parents. Let's go Ginny!" Ginny looked frightened, and Lily took her hand leading her out of the train. It wasn't hard to spot Hagrid. Ginny looked up at him with wide eyes, and then looked at Lily questionably. "He's half giant." Lily whispered to Ginny.
Hagrid looked down at Lily and Ginny with a smile. "Hello there Lily, Excited to finally be at Hogwarts? How's your mum and your dad?" he asked casually.
"Their great, they say hello actually." She smiled up at him.
"And who's your friend here?" Ginny felt the half giant looking at her and she moved closer to Lily, looking at her.
"This is Ginny Black. You knew both her parents I think. Sirius Black, and..." Lily looked at Ginny, having not been told who her mother was. Hagrid also looked at Ginny, causing her to become even more nervous.
"T-tonks... D-dad s-said th-thats wh-what s-she w-went b-by... S-she d-died g-giving b-birth t-too m-me..." stuttered Ginny.
Hagrid frowned. "I heard about your mum dying after having a daughter, and then your father died a few years after. Where did you go? Did you stay with your brother?" Ginny shook her head, still hiding behind Lily, when all of a sudden all she heard was "Ginevra Nymphadora Black, where in the bloody hell are you?" from the sounds of it, it came from none other than Isabella Riddle.
Ginny frowned as she saw Bella get closer to them. Lily looked at Ginny confused. "Who's that?" she whispered in Ginny's ear. "That's my cousin Isabella." Ginny whispered back.
"Where've you been Ginny? I couldn't find you on the train anywhere." Bella stated. "You didn't look very hard then." Ginny answered.
Bella growled slightly, looking at Hagrid.
"Whoa."
Hagrid cleared his throat. "Come on now first years, follow me to the boats."
With that, they silently followed Hagrid to the Black Lake, Ginny still clinging to Lily's hand. Lily and Ginny got in the boat together, accompanied by Lily's cousin Hugo Weasley and by Ginny's cousin Isabella Riddle. "Excuse me, but could I ride in the boat with you guys?" They heard from behind them. Lily looked back and nodded.
"Oh. By the way, Bella this is Lily and this is her cousin." Ginny told her cousin. Lily smiled at Bella while her cousin looked at her. "I'm Hugo. Hugo Weasley." The male stated. Bella nodded to him, and everyone turned their attention to their new companion.
"Oh. Sorry about that. Ginny, Bella this is my sister Leeira. Well, half sister really. We have the same dad but a different mum." Lily looked at her sister. "I'm Ginny Black and this is my cousin Isabella Riddle." Ginny said. Leeira smiled.
They soon reached the enchanted castle, entering the castle; where they waited outside of the Great Hall.
The first years were chattering nervously, talking about which houses they hoped to be in.
"What house do you guys wanna be in?" asked Lily looking at her cousin, her sister and her new friends.
"Slytherin, then I can be with Albus!" Hugo exclaimed. "I know I'm going to be in Slytherin." chimed Bella. They looked at Ginny. "Well, what about you Ginny?" Ginny, looked down, shrugging. "I don't know... Gryffindor like my dad or Hufflepuff like my mum I guess." Ginny looked at Lily. Lily grinned. "I want to be in Gryffindor. What about you Leeira?" "I'd like to be in Ravenclaw like my mum, but any house is good. I just hope nargles don't take my belongings like they did to my mother." Leeira stated. Hugo looked at Leeira. "Who was your mother?" "Luna Lovegood." She smiled.
The four shook their heads at each other, as Headmistress McGonagall came out to usher them inside.
"Please everyone form a single file line, and wait for your name to be called." McGonagall said.
They formed their line, Lily and Ginny standing beside each other. Lily took Ginny's hand in her own. "It'll be okay Ginny." She whispered. Ginny nodded slightly moving closer to Lily.
The first years could feel everyone's eyes on them. Clearly the other students were eager to meet their new classmates.
They watched as the headmistress put a worn out hat on a stool, taking out a list that they knew their name was on.
Soon the hat began to sing a song. The sorting hats song.
I bet you all are wondering,
How it is a hat can speak,
But I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat,
And that makes me unique.
I'm not at all like other hats,
That you might go out and buy;
Stick around for just a bit,
And I will tell you why.
Long, long ago, when this school began,
The founders, they decided
To each create a house with their
Most treasured students inside it
To do this job, once they were gone,
The founders they made me,
Just plop me down upon your head,
To see what I may see.
Gryffindor is for the brave,
Courageous against danger;
And Hufflepuff is for the just,
Whose devotions never waver;
Those Ravenclaws are quick of wit,
And keen to pursue learning;
While those in Slytherin are sly,
And keep ambition burning.
So I am here to tell you just
In which house you belong.
And to introduce myself,
I have prepared this song.
And now you know, what I am for,
And what I'm doing here.
So step up front, and slip me on,
I'm a good hat, never fear!
And once I'm sitting on your head,
And take a nice good look,
I shout the house that's best for you,
And say: See? That's all it took!
Once the hat finished its song, they started to call names.
Hugo, Ginny, Bella, Leeira and Lily started chatting, not paying attention to the lesser numbers around them.
"Ginevra Black." Called the headmistress, Lily let go of Ginny's hand, pushing her forwards towards the stool.
Ginny slowly walked towards the stool, shaking in fear. All eyes were on her, probably because she was the only heir to the Black family name.
She found it uncomfortable, being stared at by everyone, so as she reached the stool, she looked back at Lily who gave her an encouraging smile.
During her walk up, she heard a few gasps. She didn't need to look around to ask Lily why. She knew it was because her hair was changing rapidly, color, texture, and length. She could hear the whispering from the other students and the teachers. When she reached the stool, she turned to look at Lily.
When Ginny saw the smile on Lily's face, she took a deep breath, sitting on the stool and closing her eyes.
She felt the hat go on her head, and then it started to whisper in her ear.
"You're difficult. Just like your father was. No doubt you'll be a trouble maker like him as well. You have the Black family temper no doubt form the thoughts in your head, but I can see the gentle and caring part of you that your mother had. Nervous of what house I'll put you? But you're difficult to place. You have your wits about you, that's for sure, but your living family wants you in Slytherin. You say if you aren't you'll be disowned. Like your father was, except I know it was the right choice. You're living with your house elf now though, and I don't think he would judge. Ah. I know. It's clear within your head. GRYFFINDOR!" The hat had shouted in end.
Ginny took the hat off, walking towards the table that was clapping the loudest.
Thoughts were storming through Ginny's head. She knew her relatives would know before the feast would be over, but she was relieved to be in Gryffindor.
Everyone tried talking to Ginny, but she was just too distracted by her thoughts. That is until she hear Isabella Riddle be called, and heard the gasps and whispers around her.
The hat had barely touched her head before yelling Slytherin.
Soon it was Leeira's turn and the hat sat on her head for a few minutes, looking around and talking. Suddenly it yelled Ravenclaw. Ginny shook her head smiling and watched Leeira skip to the Ravenclaw table. Ginny watched Lily walk up and sit on the stool. The hat yelled Gryffindor almost as fast as it had yelled Slytherin for Bella.
Sighing in relieve Ginny watched Lily walk down and sit beside her. Ginny took comfort in being with Lily and moved closer to her friend.
They heard Hugo get called up, and watched him march proudly to the stool, sitting down; they heard what sounded like a groan coming from the hat.
"Another Weasley. That's fine with me. Except you're quite different from your family. Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but you seem to be so willing.
You'll be the first Weasley. If you're sure. Then I'll place you in
SLYTHERIN!"
The Weasley clan gasped, watching the youngest male member of their family walk to the Slytherin table to sit by Albus.
Lily shook her head, smiling. "Ask and you shall receive." She whispered
to Ginny.
They both smiled, and listened to the announcements before they ate their dinner.
Fred Weasley brought the first year students up to the Common Room.
Lily giggled thinking of her cousin being the Gryffindor Prefect after everything her uncle George had said about him.
"Careful Lils. I can take points away from you." Fred warned her with a smirk.
Lily gasped and ran upstairs to the female dormitories with Ginny. Hand in hand. The girls unpacked and got in their pyjamas. "Goodnight Gin." Lily smiled, looking over at Ginny. "Goodnight Lils." Ginny replied, looking back at Lily. The crawled into their beds and closed their eyes.
