Dumbledore was speaking; all the students gaze momentary flickered from him to Juliette and Carl. The boys blatantly stared at Juliette and some even wolf whistled. Talk about embarrassing. Juliette went a bright shade of red, while Carl just laughed. She glared at him and turned her attention to Dumbledore.
". . .Juliette Viridian who will be a 7th year Gryffindor who is transferring from Beauxbatans" Students burst out talking at this all thinking along the same lines 'Does that mean the writer of Curses and counter-curses is her grandfather, Vindictus Viridian?' Dumbledore just smiled and carried on "and Carl Smith who will be our new care of magical creature's teacher, that is all, you may go but could Miss Lily Evens come here please."
While Dumbledore was speaking . . .
Four boys were having a conversation about the new girl. One had jet black hair and brown eyes, James Potter the boy Juliette had noticed earlier, the boy on his left had dark brown hair and gray eyes, Sirius Black, the boy opposite Sirius had light brown hair and blue eyes, Remus Lupin, and the by next to him was small, watery and named Peter Pettigrew.
"I Wonder why she's transferring and why she almost had a heart attack when she saw James," muttered Remus just loud enough for the others to hear him.
"Well she looks like a laugh, and the teacher looks okay to I guess, as to why she almost feinted when she saw James I don't know, maybe she thinks he's super sexy," said Sirius with a small smile.
"Looks like Dumbledore's finished talking doesn't it, recon we should wait for her and Lily outside?" said James in a pleased voice standing up.
"Well I suppose so we can hardly keep you away from your beloved Lily can we?" said Sirius also standing up.
Back With Juliette . . .
Juliette didn't want to leave Charlie, and was giving him the puppy dog eyes clearly saying 'please can I stay with you, what if I let something slip'. Unfortunately for her Charlie just smiled and turned around and started talking to McGonagall.
Juliette turned round muttering words like "stupid git, why him, pay back". She was so intent on her muttering she didn't notice a girl with red hair and the greenest eyes she'd ever seen standing right in front of her with an amused expression on her face.
"I personally think he looks quite nice, damn sight better than Potter," she laughed and held out her hand "Lily Evens, nice to meet you."
Juliette shook it and they walked down of the platform out the doors, with Lily talking about schoolwork and the teachers, most of whom she already new.
She switched of and tried to keep an eye out for familiar faces, sensing that she wouldn't be able to spend much time with Charlie so she should really try to make friends, and she also didn't know when she would be able to go back. In fact she wasn't paying attention in front of her and she smacked right into a tall figure with dark brown hair and mischievous gray eyes.
"Well it's nice to meet you to, but next time I would ask you not to walk into me, because truthfully that hurt." He said his gray eyes twinkling, he held out his hand. "Sirius Black at your service."
"Uhh thanks I guess, nice to meet you." Oh you should be DEAD not talking to me, this is weird, oh god please don't hit on me, not that I would mind he's quite fit I guess. She held out her hand and he picked it up on his and kissed it. Oh god talk about playing, I really hope he's like that with everyone, imagine going back to live Harry and telling him "you godfather fancied me" talk about embarrassing. She switched back into the conversation in which Sirius was introducing the other marauders, much to Lily's obvious displeasure. "This is Remus Lupin, our residential book worm. This is Peter Pettigrew, great friend…" Juliette looked at him and felt herself instinctively reach for her wand and wrap it tight in her fingers. "…and this git is James potter, do you know him because you gave him a really odd look earlier?"
"No he just looks a lot like a friend of mine, except the eyes," she said with a dull blush creeping up her cheeks. "Can we go to the dorms because I think Lily will scream if she spends too much time in James's company" she grinned, while the marauders just smirked.
They walked up the marble staircase, the same one she killed Lucius Malfoy on in 20 years time. Suddenly there was a voice behind them.
"Miss Viridian" said the drawling voice of Lucius Malfoy, the man who'd kill Ginny in 20 years time.
She whirled round and before any of them could blink she had her wand at his throat.
"Wow, how'd you know he was a git Juliette?" said Sirius in a clearly pleased voice.
"Met someone like him before," she muttered not taking her eyes of Lucius. "What do you want?"
"I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to talk to us in private" he said motioning behind him to six or seven students.
Out of nowhere she felt herself being pushed sideways, she looked around and saw Sirius standing there with his wand pointed straight at a boy with black greasy hair. Realization hit her straight in the face Severus Snape, the man who was responsible for Dumbledore's death. That means the others are soon to be if not death eaters.
She gave him a short searching look and said, "I'd rather not consult with death eaters thanks but no thanks."
She started to turn round with the others muttering a quick, "move it" to Sirius.
She heard Lucius start a spell "Furn . . ."
"Stupefy!" she screamed.
Lucius was blasted backwards by the force of the spell; he went smashing down the stairs.
"MISS VIRIDIAN! What is the meaning of this," Carl (A/N – Charlie) was coming up the stairs.
"He tried to get me to join the death eaters sir, then when I walked of he attacked me," she explained.
"Ahh okay, ten points from Gryffindor and one detention tomorrow at 7 o'clock my office please," and with that he walked off.
"Wow he's nice, are you going out?" asked Lily as they all carried on walking up the stairs towards the Gryffindor common room.
"God no, we've just been through a lot together, he's my dead best friends brother," she explained with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"Oh god I'm so sorry," whispered Lily pulling Juliette close and giving her a hug.
5 Minutes Later . . .
"Galloping Gargoyles" said James as they entered the common room.
"Well guys I'm going to bed. It's been a busy night," he continued and with that he walked up the boy's staircase out of sight.
"Where Prongs goes, Padfoot, Wormtail and moony are sure to follow night girls" said Sirius and they all walked out of sight.
"I suppose we should go to bed to then" said Juliette looking almost wistfully towards the girls' staircase.
"Ye, we've got to be up early tomorrow come on, ill show you your dorm"
Lily replied and they walked upstairs.
Lily opened the room to their dorm and Juliette gasped, it was the same room she used to sleep in 20 years time, and it looked exactly the same as it did then.
"Are you okay?" asked Lily in a concerned voice.
"Ye I'm fine, come on lets go to bed."
4 hours later, about 2 a.m. . . .
Juliette walked downstairs and sat in the comfiest armchair in the common room thinking. What could she change, whose deaths could she stop. She also had no way or writing it down because she couldn't make a list encase someone found it. She had to stop James from dyeing, she couldn't help Lily because then Harry would have her protection, and he would die. But if she got to Voldemort first she could stop her dyeing. She felt so guilty, she could tell Lily was a nice person and she'd become great friends with her, she new Lily was going to die and she couldn't change it, because otherwise she'd loose Harry again.
She decided to take a walk to the cave in which Sirius hid in the 4th year to help her think. She walked out the common room, through the deserted and dark corridors and out to the lake, she sat under a tree and tried to remember everything McGonagall had said about her transforming into her animagus form, a lyra (A/N is an exotic, magical cat that was burned by the poisonous Black Fire. Lyra is dignified and very smart. She is extremely intuitive and can see things that no one else can, sensing the future before it happens. As she heals, she begins to grow back her wings that were burned in the fire. Only those empowered by magic can see her wings.), she transformed and flew up to the cave on top of the mountains and thought.
About 4 a.m. . . .
Hermione had thought things through, decided whom she could save and whom she couldn't. She flew back to the castle and landed just outside the oak doors, which were still open, she walked back, still in her animagus form to the common room, mewed (A/N cat speak) the password, and entered. She walked towards the girls staircase and was about half way there before she heard a voice.
"What the hell." It was Sirius, obviously he couldn't sleep, and he was sitting at the entrance to the boys' dorms, the bottom step to be exact.
She changed back to her human form immediately; she forgot however that she was wearing Charlie's boxers and his t-shirt, which just made Sirius stare even more. She sat down next to him.
"I thought you were just friends," he accused with a glint in his eye.
"And how comes you didn't tell us you're an animagus."
"Didn't really saw the point and you never really asked, did you?"
"I suppose not, but how come you're a magical animal, I thought animaguses were always normal."
"It's a long and personal story I'd rather not discuss it if you don't mind, please."
"Okay fine"
They sat in silence for the next 15minuits before they both were fast asleep.
Juliette's head was on Sirius's shoulder and Sirius's head was on Juliette's head. They slept through the night sliding down the step to become sprawled out on the floor.
Even Later . . .
Juliette woke up at about 8 a.m. to the sound of laughter and a flash of light. Groggily she opened her eyes and looked around oh I feel asleep on Sirius. I'm never gonna forget this. She looked around and saw James, Lily, Remus and about half of Gryffindor laughing at her, and making kissy noises.
"Shut up you twats, just because you can't get a girl," a voice to the left of her muttered.
She looked about and saw Sirius with his hand in his hair wearing a thoroughly of look. She looked down at her body OH CRAP!! She was still in Charlie's boxers, no wonder they were all laughing and whispering god only knows what they looked like they'd been up to.
She muttered a quick "I got to get changed" and ran upstairs to the girl's dormitory leaving Sirius to deal with his friends.
With Hermione . . .
Oh it's not even my first day yet and it already looks like I've had sex with the most well known player in Hogwarts. What am I going to do…?
Maybe I should give them all something to talk about…
She stopped having an argument and step dad into the shower letting the cool water relax her. Stepping out the shower, then threw on a pair of skinny jeans (A/N Dumbledore gave her clothes) a t-shirt and hurried down the staircase.
Meanwhile With Sirius . . .
"I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH HER!" Sirius was screaming at his friends.
He stomped up the boys staircase, took a very long shower, by his standards, ruffled up his hair changed into his school things and walked back downstairs.
With Hermione . . .
my wand, why do I keep swearing, maybe it's just the whole marauders influence, but then again I've barley spoken to them…
She dashed back upstairs and went to get her wand, and walked back downstairs slowly thinking about what she needed to do today.
First: Talk to Dumbledore about a timetable and about uniform.
Second: Talk to Charlie about detention.
Thirdly: Have a bit of fun with everyone about them thinking she had sex with Sirius.
Everyone stopped talking when she arrived in the common room.
"Yes is something wrong?" she addressed the room at large. When no one responded she walked up the boy's staircase to find Sirius.
Almost immediately she walked straight into him.
"Oomph, god what's you're…" Sirius started then realizing who it was "what are you wearing?"
"Clothes, got a problem? Because if you want I could dress like a nun."
"What's a nun?"
"Someone who can't have sex, which reminds me did you tell your friends we didn't have sex"
"Well I tired to… but I don't think they believed me."
"Well you are Sirius Black." OH , he's gunner wonder how I know that, how am I going to explain that.
"How'd you know that?"
God I hate being right, stupid clever brain box 'Uhh lucky guess"
muttered Juliette with a small half smile before quickly adding "shouldn't we go to breakfast?"
They walked down into the common room to a few stares no doubt people were thinking 'and they said they didn't have sex.'
"Let's get out of here," she muttered to Sirius.
"Fine by me."
They walked down to breakfast in relative silence. When then got there Juliette went straight up to the teacher's table and spoke to Dumbledore about her timetable.
"Professor do you think I could have my timetable please, its just I really want to know what classes I have. And also I need some money to buy a school uniform and books etc." She explained, carefully not looking at Charlie who was eyeing what she was wearing with a thoroughly of look on his face.
"Well, I have your timetable here and your clothes are fine, just a bit out of this era don't you think, you might want to change that, don't want to draw attention to yourself anymore than you already have. And I'll lend you some money next Hogsmead weekend which is this weekend." BY the way yesterday you said you could do wand-less magic, I doubt you should let anyone know; it's a wonderful skill. He replied his eyes twinkling madly whys he always so happy about everything She turned round and started walking back towards the Gryffindor table with her timetable in her hand. She sat down between James and Lily, neither looking very happy about this, and started eating. She was about to get up and head towards the lake for her free period to think over the issues on telling Sirius. She couldn't lie to him. She left the great hall and was about half way to the oak front doors when she heard Charlie call her name; slowly she turned around and followed him to his rooms and study.
They shut the door but forgot to but 'mufliato' on it.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!" He screamed at her as soon as she shut the door.
"Umm I'm not doing anything except talking to you." She explained, but she left a few minutes before adding "Is this because everyone said I had sex with Sirius already? Because it's not true, we just fell asleep together, I'm not stupid enough to have sex with him, he's 20years older than me you idiot!"
"Sorry" he mumbled looking at the floor. "I just care about you. Anyway about you detention I figured you could come here tonight and we could work on how we tell Lily, James, Sirius and Remus about Peter.
"Fine, but if you don't mind I'm going to go to defense" and with that she walked over to where he was gave him a peck on the cheek and walked out the door."
While they were talking.
Sirius Black, James Potter and Remus Lupin had followed Juliette to make sure she didn't get into any trouble, Professor Smith looked furious. They were walking to the door when they heard Juliette's voce scream "Sex with him he's 20 years older than me..." They all gasped; there was no doubt in their mind who Juliette had been talking about.
"Maybe we should go we obviously missed half of what they were saying,"
muttered James looking at Sirius with a worried expression.
"Yeah, fine, let's go defense, were starting dueling today." Replied Sirius and with that they all walked off and about 30 seconds later Juliette burst through the door.
Juliette's thoughts on the way to defense . . .
What am I going to do, if I'm not careful I'm going to get attached to them and I'll have to go back one day, and when I do I won't want to. I only came back to save a few people, but the others don't deserve to die either. I'll bring them with me tonight so we can tell them, but only god knows how ether going to take it.
Defense . . .
Juliette walked into defense early and walked over to where the other Gryffindor's were standing.
"Were doing dueling today," muttered Peter.
Juliette gave him a cold look and immediately wondered of to Sirius to apologize for last night. But before she got a chance the door burst open and Professor Dumbledore entered accompanied by Moody and the defense teacher.
"Now students settle down, Alistor and I will be watching the duelers today, and those of you who show flare in dueling will be offered an apprenticeship as an auror. I will now hand over to professor Shunk, who will tell you what to do today."
The tall man on Dumbledore's right stepped forward, he had light brown hair with a few gray streaks, he looked older than he actually was and had kind looking brown eyes.
"Thank you Dumbledore, now today you will be in pairs and the winner of each duel will go to the left and the looser to the right, I will pair you up, we will carry on till there is only 1 pair left and they shall decide who wins by having a final duel. I want no nasty hexes to be used please. Now our first pair is Miss Viridian and Mr. Pettigrew."
Juliette walked up with peter they faced of and Juliette waited to peter to make the first move this is going to be so easy, god I killed half the people here in like 20 years time. She was brought out of her thoughts by peter.
"Expel" He started before Juliette said lazily "stupefy" Peter fell to the floor unconscious, she walked over to him muttered a counter spell and walked over to the left side of the room and tuned out.
God that was easier than I thought, he didn't even try and block it, wasn't even like I was trying, no wonder he ended up dead seriously he's so slow.
She was brought back to her senses by a wand going spinning past her ear. The last pair had just been Sirius and Lucius, naturally Sirius won. She made a mental note of who beat whom.
Juliette, Peter.
Sirius, Lucius.
Remus, Snape.
Lily James (I don't think James wanted to jinx her) And about 6 other Slytherins.
Juliette was paired again a random Slytherin with black hair and dark brown eyes, Rudolphus Lestrange. He was almost as easy to beat as Peter. God he's crap, how did he survive the final battle . . .?
Sirius, Bellatrix.
Remus, Lily.
Rudolphus, Juliette.
2 Slytherins Left.
Juliette got paired against a big Slytherin with black hair, must be a Slytherin thing, she mused silently to herself. He was tricky but not hard. It carried on like that for about another 10 minutes 'till it was just Juliette and Bellatrix left.
Bellatrix wasted no time in getting straight in.
"Tarantallegra" She screamed.
"Protego," Juliette countered. "Is that the best you have?"
Bellatrix kept shooting off hexes and jinxes for about the next 5 minutes with Juliette blocking them every time, god this is getting boring I should finish it. Before she had time to counter or do anything Bellatrix screamed "Expelliarmus," and Juliette felt her wand zoom from her hand.
Bellatrix's scream was of joy but it was hushed quickly.
"You forgot however my darling Bella that some of us in here can do wandless magic didn't you?" Muttered Juliette, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
She looked at Bellatrix with a glint in her eye. She heard Sirius whisper, "Bella's doomed". However she no longer cared however that she had been told not to do wand-less magic by Dumbledore, she just remember Bella's scream from when she killed Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
She held out her hand in an outstretched motion her hair whipping about her head, a smile on her face.
"Langlock" she muttered, and Bellatrix's tongue glued itself to the room of her mouth.
She then looked at her hand and muttered a spell which non of the students could hear, she pointed her hand at Bella which was glowing a bright gold and from her hand a get of bright gold light hit Bella right on the chest and blasted her backwards, head first, into the wall unconscious.
Everyone was silent for a few minutes before the Gryffindor's erupted into cheers, and moody hushed them and walked up to Juliette and whispered in her ear "you're the one from the future right" to which Juliette nodded and he said in a louder voice "well done excellent, you have a slot on auror training if you wish for it, along with Mr. Black and Mr. Potter." And with that he walked out the room closely followed by Dumbledore who gave her a wink and professors Shunk who was levitating Bella.
She returned her sense to the room and saw James, Remus, Sirius and Lily nearby. She walked over to them muttering, "Accio wand," as she went so she could reclaim her wand.
"Why didn't you tell us you could do wand-less magic, and why didn't you tell us you were an animagus" accused James instantly.
She turned to look a Sirius with a cold glare. He had the decency to look ashamed. Juliette turned back to James and said, "like you told me your animaguses?" she turned to look a Remus and lowered her voice to only he could hear her, "and like you told me you're a werewolf. It's not like I'd care is it?"
She turned and walked of leaving 4 very confused teenagers behind her.
