The Heir Diaries.

Chapter Two: Meetings.

Whilst James and George got over her Gifts, Iris skipped off the toilets with Jane to get dressed into her school robes; a black skirt, crisp white shirt, black pumps, a plain grey tie, and a heavy black robe, with a Hogwarts badge stitched to it. When the girls arrived back at the compartment, the boys went off to change into their robes. The girls took this as an advantage to get to know each other better. When the boys came back, Jane and Iris had become rather close, and already knew a ton about each other.

Iris was just taking out her mobile phone when Jane snatched it off her. "Hey, that's my phone," Iris huffed, annoyed.

"I know, but if you walk into Hogwarts with it, it will explode," Jane explained, her lips set in a straight line, her eyes giving Iris the look that said, 'I'm deadly serious.'

"Okay then…" Iris frowned, unhappy. "I guess it's just going to have to stay here for safe keeping."

Iris took the phone from Jane and stood up. She then stuffed the phone underneath the cushions of the compartment seat's, wincing at the thought of losing her social support, not being able to contact all of her muggle friends. Though placing on a fake smile, she swung her backpack onto her back and placed Minty in her arms, and left the train, Jane, George, and James following after her.

As they arrived at the great hall, James, George, and Jane walked towards one of the tables. Iris was about to follow, but a rather tall and young looking man, with greasy black hair and a big nose stopped her,

"Miss Romanovs, I see you have finally arrived," he said.

The man's voice was as smooth as silk and would have been very relaxing to listen to had he not seemed snooty, looking at Iris with distaste. Iris nodded; keeping her ground s she stared sternly up at the man.

"Well, it is lovely to meet you. I am Professor Snape. This way, please."

The man, Professor Snape, drifted off with such elegance, and Iris followed. Unfortunately (not for her, but for the professor), she got a bit bored as they walked, she opened her mind listening for any interesting thoughts. She didn't find any worth listening to, so she concentrated on the professor before her.

How dare Longbottom think of resending that girl's mother a letter. Doesn't he know that she could bring us all down? Fool.

Iris stopped short and was about to confront Professor Snape, but before the words could leave her mouth, a man with dark brown hair came closer. She supposed this was Professor Longbottom, the deputy headmaster of Hogwarts. Iris stroked her fingers through Minty's fur as she was escorted to sit on a lone wooden in front of everybody.

Before she sat down though, she ran to Jane and gave her minty, and then immediately went straight back and sat down as a hat was placed on her head. It started talking, making Iris jump from surprise.

A talking hat, what next? , A Flying monkey? She laughed to herself, but it seemed the hat had heard her thoughts and his tone sounded insulted.

I'll have you know, Miss Romanovs, that talking hats are common in the wizarding world, spoke the hat, though only to her. Hmm, now let's see… you have spunk, and you are very brave. You'd make a good Gryffindor. But there is something else I see. You are witty and clever, the works of a Ravenclaw, but no, Slytherin would suite you well. You are sneaky and ambitious… no, no, Gryffindor is the house for you.

Iris had absolutely no idea what the hat was talking about, but it all made sense to her when she heard the hat yell the words, "GRYFFINDOR!" The hat was removed as she sprinted over to where Jane, George, and James were (they'd all been beckoning her over, so she guessed they were all in Gryffindor, sitting at the Gryffindor table).

Iris soon found that they were all related. James' father Harry was married to Ginny, his mother, whose brother Ron, George's father, was married to Hermione, Jane's mother. After listening to them, they introduced Iris to a few other people; Lucy Love good, the daughter of a close family friend, and Jane and George's little twin sisters, Mary and Anna.

After shaking hands with her three new friends, Iris saw a drop dead gorgeous but seriously slutty girl sitting next to the blonde boy who she had met and abused earlier that day on the Hogwarts Express. As she asked who she was, James rolled his eyes, George sighed, and Jane started explaining.

"That little skank is Dervona Parkinson," Jane began. "As you can see, she is a major slut, always dressed in high stilettos, short skirts, and tight blouses. Don't be fooled by her hair; it was originally brown, but she dyed it dirty blond. The boy sitting next to her I'm sure you remember; Scorpius Malfoy, the Slytherin you hit with my book." Jane giggled; it was a memory she would be telling her kids.

A smile came to Iris' lips as she remembered. It had been pretty funny… okay, no, it had been hilarious. Just as she was about to start giggling as well, she saw a girl with long, luscious, curled black hair, scared and bruised pale skin, and nails that were painted dark blue. Iris looked down at her own nails; glittery black, like usual. She looked back at the girl to see she was sitting on her own.

Nudging Jane, she pointed towards the gothic girl. "Who's that, then?" she asked.

Jane looked down at her hands as she stuttered. "That's Juno Valentine. There are countless ways to describe Juno Valentine. She's like, a Queen. Everyone is scared of her, yet she doesn't talk to anyone. She has a way of torturing people; one look and bam! You're running for the hills. She's gorgeous and looks innocent, but in reality, she's evil to the heart. So evil, she makes Voldemort look like a fairy princess."

Iris looked back at Juno, seeing a smile creep onto her face. Wondering why she was smiling, Iris stood up, clicking her fingers for Minty to follow as she walked towards Juno. Many gasps and stuttering followed her, and when she finally got there, she sat down in front of the girl, with a lovely smile that said, 'hey, let's be friends.'

"Hey there, I'm Iris Romanovs," she introduced herself, watching with amusement as Minty jumped onto the seat next to silent girl.

When she looked back up, she saw Juno had bottomless black eyes that made you feel as if you were falling, falling, falling, right down a deep, dark hole. A cruel smirk on her face, Juno stood up and walked away in her designer black skinny jeans, black stilettos, white shirt with rolled up sleeves, and green tie. Iris could now see why everyone was so scared of her.

Going back to her friends, Iris saw how George and James were avoiding eye contact with her. Were they going to ignore her because she had made contact with the enemy? Iris hoped not.

"Can you show me around, Jane?" asked Iris, wanting to get away from the stares of many.

Jane nodded, seemingly happy for an excuse to get away from the Great Hall.

The two best friends walked around the school for a while as Jane showed Iris the castle. After her grand tour, Jane left Iris to wonder about herself, and as Iris walked out onto a field, she spotted the broom she had bought earlier in a damp wooden shed. She took it and went to the middle of the field, placed the broom on the ground and concentrated.

"Up!" she called out to the broom, which shot up and hit her open palm.

Once again, Iris smiled happily as she climbed onto it. Looking around to see if no one was watching, she pushed of the ground to find herself hovering in the air. A soft giggle escaped her lips as she went higher and higher, taking in the breathtaking scenery around her; the Forbidden Forest, the Black Lake, and the very magnificent Hogwarts Castle.

(Iris' Point of View.)

I felt the wind blow through my hair as I circled the field, laughing my pretty little head off. It was the best feeling I was having, like I was on top of the world. I started going faster and faster as I looked down and saw Minty watching me intently. She barked from excitement as I swooped down, pulling her onto the broom. She fitted perfectly as we sped around Hogwarts.

Seeing that the sun was slowly setting, I started to slow down as my broom began to shake. I sighed and started to get lower, but my broom just kept on shaking. My leg fell off as I grabbed the handle. Minty looked at me, her eyes showing me how scared she was, as my fingers began to slip. Suddenly, I dropped, holding my breath, closing my eyes, waiting for the impact of the ground.

I was surprised when I felt myself land on something warm and strong, and when I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was white blonde hair. As my eyes adjusted to the newly found darkness, I saw the rest of the boy and noticed it was Scorpius Malfoy. I looked away from his face, seeing Minty still sitting on my broom. The boy muttered something and the broom lowered down to in front of us.

Just then the broom dropped, and Minty went tumbling off, barking excitedly. She'd had a great time, despite that I had fallen. And now all of a sudden, I felt strangely exhausted, and the last thing I could remember was being tucked into a strange bed and being told goodnight, with a soft kiss on the cheek.

I had excellent dreams that night, about a blond prince on a white horse and a red-haired princess in a crumbling tower.

(Normal Point of View.)

Iris stretched, yawning as she sat up, shaking her head as she said to herself; "That was one hell of a crazy dream." She sighed happily, but then she heard another voice, which broke her from her dreamy state.

"What was?" someone asked suddenly.

Iris looked up quickly, seeing Jane standing in front of one of the beds, her hair down, straighter than yesterday, and she was wearing a burgundy knee-length dress with black tights,

"Never mind," Iris sighed as she climbed out of bed, stroking Minty's fur, and she then walked over to her part of the wardrobe she had put her stuff into yesterday.

"By the way, as it's a Saturday, we don't have any classes," Jane began slowly as she pulled on a pair of shiny patent flats. "So I was wondering, because you might not want to wait until Monday, I could teach you some spells now."

A large grin appeared on Iris' face as she nodded. Jane smiled happily before saying; "You might want to get dressed first though."

A laugh that was so obviously trying to be stifled escaped past Jane's lips as Iris started prancing around the room, looking for a nice outfit, saying all the while; "You go down to the hall without me. This may take some time." And seriously, it was going to take some time. Iris took forever getting ready in the morning.

Jane nodded as she left Iris to get dressed.

Iris walked into the Great Hall ten minutes later, feeling everyone's eyes on her; most of them were full of envy at how beautiful she was. She was wearing a stripey light blue and crisp white halter top, with a hot pink guitar on it, and a black denim mini skirt, with a big white leather belt, with a light pink buckle to match. She also wore white and pink stripey tights, and blue, silver and black converses.

Wolf whistles and cat calls were heard throughout the hall as Iris sat next to Jane, loading her plate with food, and as she started eating her pancakes, which were covered in ketchup and marshmallows, she looked up and saw everyone staring at her still. She swallowed and turned to glare them all away, but instead saw the blonde haired boy, Scorpius.

She smiled as she stood up; she wasn't that much shorter than him, so she looked him straight in the eyes as she smirked. She didn't know whether the dream was real or not, so she didn't know if she should thank him. If it had been real, it would've been rude not to. But it was fake, she would seem silly saying thank you for no reason.

Suddenly Scorpius leaned down to her ear. "Do you have a map? I think I just got lost in your eyes," he whispered huskily.

No matter how seductive he was trying to be, Iris just had to stifle a laugh as she replied; "Pfft, please! That is like, the oldest line in the book of cheesiest pick up lines," she laughed. "Now, if you don't mind, I'm trying to enjoy my breakfast, so scoot!" Iris signaled for him to leave as she sat back down, finishing her food.

An hour or two later, Iris was gripping onto her wand as Jane stood next to her down near between the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest, explaining the spell to make a person's teeth grow larger. Fred stood A few meters away, looking very nervous and scared in one. Once Jane was sure Iris understood, she allowed Iris to face Fred and practice the spell.

"Densaugeo!" she called out, flicking her wand gracefully.

Fred was suddenly hit with a blast of light, and Iris' hand flew to her mouth as Fred stood up. Iris couldn't help but laugh at the size of his teeth; they were hamster teeth. Whilst Jane walked over to correct them, putting them back in order, Iris saw Juno walking towards them. Jane and Fred went silent as Juno walked straight up to Iris; they were both the same Height, so they could look each other in the eyes,

"You want Jane to teach you spells you already know?" Juno questioned, her bottomless black eyes giving Iris the creeps.

Now even she, the bravest of them all, wanted to run for the hills. But Iris stood firm, with her head cocked to the side, as Juno walked backward, pulling out her wand. Were they going to duel? She hoped not.

"There is a much easier way to do this, Avis!"

A flock of black birds shot from Juno's twelve inch black mahogany wand that had a fiary wing core. Iris jumped out of the way, so they missed hitting her.

"Game on, sister." Iris had just agreed to a real challenge. "Aguamenti!"

A blast of water hit Juno; she'd been too late to dodge the spell, not expecting Iris to accept a duel with the Queen of Mean.


Dear Diary,

Usually I write about sisnister or sappy stuff, but today was a whole new day. Today I met her; Iris Odesses Romanovs. She was sorted into Gryffindor - Gryffindor! She should have been sorted into Slytherin, but noooo. She doesn't even know who she is! ...Well, I do. I know more about us for the both of us. And I'm not going to stop until I'm the more powerful out of the both of us.

- Juno Riddle-Valentine.
