Previously...
"Harry! Where did you put my Broom?" She shouted."In your room. Anyway you're not allowed one so don't bother." "I'm taking it with me." She replied."Come on. You'll get caught.""Watch me." She said."Alright woman. Keep your hair on."Soon the Family was in the back of their hummer and on the way to Kings Cross station."Harry! Don't sit on Rai's feathers!""I'm not. Hey you're on my quill. You nearly broke my eagle quill you bum!"
The Potters arrived at Kings Cross station and were currently standing outside the barrier. "Harry, you go first and show Lizzy what to do." Said Lily gesturing towards the wall in front of them. Harry ran towards the wall and disappeared.
"My turn!" She said rushing forwards. As she hit the barrier she started screaming. She forgot to stop at the other side and carried on running. AAAAGH! Heads turned from everywhere. They saw a young girl dressed in a mini skirt and tank top run through the barrier then collide with the Hogwarts Express. BANG! "I'm Ok everyone I'm Ok!" Lizzy shouted. It had no effect. All the students were on the floor laughing (and some of the parents. Cough-James-cough). There was now a Lizzy shaped dent on the train and a bruised Lizzy standing on the platform.
A blushing Lizzy ran onto the train and into the empty compartment to dump her trunk. She exited the train to find the platform more composed. She walked over to the Potter's. They all had wide grins on their faces. "Shut Up." She said.
"I liked your entrance." Said Harry earning a friendly slap on the arm.
"At least you'll be popular!" Said James, earning a glare.
"Don't worry honey. Good luck at school and make sure you behave." Said Lily.
With that final goodbye the cousins boarded the train. They entered their compartment and sat down. Moments later the door reopened and Hermionie and Ron walked through. "Hey Harry. Umm… Who are you?" Said Ron.
"I am…" Started Lizzy.
"Ron this is my cousin Lizzy who's starting Hogwarts." Harry cut in.
"Oh." Said Ron. "Sorry"
"I'm Hermionie."
"Hi." Replied Lizzy. "Umm…I'll leave you to talk while I wander about." She said and walked out sliding the door shut. She turned around bumped into a solid squishy thing. She looked up and realized that it was actually a person. It was Crabbe. Malfoy and his cronies had come to see her.
"Hiiiiii Albino Gel head" Said Lizzy smiling. Zambini and Nott snickered.
"You stupid girl. Don't you know who I am?" He spat.
"Ummmmm." She said pretending to think. "No."
"I am Draco Malfoy and I'm older AKA you respect me."
"I will only respect you if you earn it." "Cya" She said, and skipped off leaving behind a group of dumbstruck slytherins.
She walked on down the train until she met two boys. "Hi. I'm John." Said one.
"I'm Edward." Said the other.
"Hi. I'm Lizzy." She said, looking at them. They were identical and were easily noticed by their bold hairdos.
"Are you in first year?" She said.
"Yeah. Hey are you the one that crashed into the train." Said John grinning.
"Maybe." Said a blushing Lizzy.
They all started laughing. They sat down in a compartment as the trolley lady came in.
"Anything from the trolley dears." She said.
"Hmmm…" They all said.
"How about six of everything." Said Lizzy."Two for us all and it's all on me."
They sat down and tucked in. They were all talking and eating happily when Harry came running in. "Hey Lizzy. You need to change into your robes now." He said.
"Oh. I don't want to. Can I not just put my cloak on over my shirt?" She argued.
"No Lizzy. You're wearing a mini skirt so everyone will notice." He told her.
"Whatever. Thanks anyway. I'm going to go change. Be back in a bit." She said.
She skipped off to change not remembering about harry at all. She put on her shirt and a cloak then fixed her eyeliner. She walked back out to her compartment. The twins sniggered.
"What?" She asked them.
"Don't you listen?" They asked.
"Not really no." She said.
"Hmmm. So are you excited?" She asked the Boys.
"Well Kind of but-"
"I'm a bit nervous." John started and Edward finished.
"FREAKY!" Lizzy sniggered.
"Lol"
The train came to a halt at the Hogsmeade platform. The group clambered out of their compartment and onto the platform. Before them stood a man- well giant is the correct term. He was huge it looked as if he had swallowed a load of Skele-Grow. "First-Years over 'ere." He shouted.
"Hagrid!" Shouted Lizzy.
"'Ello Lizzy." He replied. This was Hagrid the Games Keeper and COMC teacher at Hogwarts.
"Alright. Follow me to the boats everyone." He said, sheparding them towards the lake. "No more than four to a boat, and follow me." He finished.
"Come on!" Lizzy shouted at the twins. They clambered into a boat and set off, completely ignoring the fact that they were meant to follow not lead.
As they pushed off towards Hogwarts they were awestruck. The sight of the magnificent castle was breath taking. Suddenly there boat started shaking. "What's happening?" John shouted.
"I don't know" Said Edward. Suddenly they lurched forwards.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. The screams of the three troublemakers was heard throughout the Hogwarts grounds. In the Great Hall heads turned whilst Harry muttered 'Lizzy' wondering what she had done. They dived into the water ungracefully.
A few moments later they bobbed up. BRRR they started to shiver. Suddenly something appeared beneath them. "What's that?" Asked Edward.
"It's the squid. Just follow my lead." Lizzy assured him. Then they appeared out of the water on the squids back. WOO HOO they shouted. They rode all the way to the other end of the lake.
When they got to the other side of the lake they dismounted the squid and saluted in thanks.
"That was good." Said Lizzy.
"Yeah, I think we made history." The twins said. Then they all burst out laughing.
-AHEM- A cough behind them made them all whiz round.
"Now that you have made your entrance follow me. The rest of the first years are already being sorted." A woman dressed in emerald green said.
Meanwhile in the Hall…
Where is she, Harry thought? The first years were being sorted and Lizzy wasn't there. Suddenly the doors reopened. Professor McGonagall walked up the centre of the hall with three wet rags walking behind her. Wait a minute, that was Lizzy, what was she doing she's soaking wet! All heads turned to look at the latecomers. They walked up to the hat.
"John Vesuvius." McGonagall said. Nobody moved. The three were just huddled talking. "John Vesuvius." McGonagall said a bit louder.
"Oh." Said Edward and he walked to the hat. Lizzy had to fight the giggles that were trying to erupt from her down. The three had devised a plan to see if the hat was really amazing. John and Edward would swap places. Edward walked up and sat on the stall. McGonagall placed the hat on his head.
Hmmmm… Hang on, you're not John, you're Edward. A cunning Plan I see. The hat spoke inside his head. Well a lot of courage to come up to me like that, but a sly hint still. Hmm… Slytherin or Gryffindor? I know.
The Hat spoke out aloud to everyone. "Edward Vesuvius…Gryffindor!" The Hall burst into applause but stopped when they realized that they had been fooled by the twins before them.
"My Sons!" Shouted Fred and George. With this everyone laughed and continued clapping.
"John Vesuvius" McGonagall said with an extremely stern look upon her face.
John walked up to the seat with a superior grin upon his face. He plonked himself on the stool and yanked the hat onto his head.
Soo… Here is the real John. I must admit I did like your plan, it gave me a good laugh. Anyway this also proves you have a lot of courage, yet a sly hint, hmm… I think that you would do very well in…
The hat spoke aloud. "John Vesuvius…Gryffindor." The hall broke into a thunderous applause.
"Elizabeth Potter" McGonagall said. The hall fell silent. There was another Potter.
Elizabeth skipped up to the stool and let McGonagall place the hat on her head. Everybody looked at her. Hey! She's wearing a mini skirt, what happened to the school robes? Harry sighed, trust her to ignore the rules.
In her head the hat appeared. Hello, Lizzy said. Why hello, how are you. I'm good, you? She asked. Fine, I haven't had someone like you in quite a bit of time. Anyway another Potter, Plenty of courage and quite a bubbly character you have here. Oh, some dark secrets about your past isn't there. What? Tell me! Lizzy said. I can't Darling Sorry. Anyway, Courageous, Sly, Clever, Lazy. Your hard. Oh My It's you. Don't be shocked when you hear the result.
The hat spoke out aloud. "Lizzy Potter…The Guardians!" The hall stood silent. The same question raced through everyone's mind. Who were the Guardians?
Dumbledore stood up. "I think there is some explaining to do. The guardians are an ancient house in which only a select few students enter into. The last guardian came 500 years ago, Elizabeth is now going to be allowed to go to whichever table she wants. Please don't question her."
Elizabeth shakily walked over to the Gryffindor table, all eyes on her. Dumbledore clapped his hands and the chatter started up as everyone tucked in. Lizzy sat down between Harry and John.
"Do you not know how to listen" Harry asked grinning.
"What it's not my fault I didn't want to wear robes and that we fell in."
"Lol, Ok soo a Guardian huh." He asked.
"Yeah I don't know what the hell they are though."
"Noone does. Oh well tuck in." He said. The conversation drifted to her being introduced to everyone.
At the end of the feast Dumbledore told them to go off to bed but called Lizzy behind.
"Ahh Lizzy. I trust you are well?" Dumbledore said.
"Yeah. Umm, where am I going to sleep?" She asked.
"That's what I was going to tell you. You may sleep in the Gryffindor Dorm. The passwords Quidditch, just go through that window backwards." He told her and suddenly disappeared. She walked backwards through the window and landed in a corridor. A portrait of a fat lady stood before her. "Quidditch" She said, and the portrait swung open. She walked through and bumped into the twins.
"Hiiii" She said.
"Heya, Are you staying here then honourable guardian." John said.
"Yeah, Where do I go?" She asked.
"Upstairs to the right." Edward said in a false voice. "That prat Percy told us."
"Lol. Okaii, night night."
"Night."
Lizzy walked up the stairs and turned right. In her dorm everyone was asleep so she crept in and changed into her PJ's- Shorts and a Vest top. She drifted to sleep with thoughts on being a guardian. There was more to it than it seemed, she thought.
A/N: Soooooooooo what do you guys think. I know progress is slow but I need reviews…plz tell anyone you know im desperate :p lol. I will go into being a guardian more deeply later and othe stuff. BTW. John and Edward are based on the duo JEDWARD from X factor… not team Jacob and Team Edward.(I'm Team Jacob btw…Edwards a cold hard rock)
