A/N: Sorry for not updating in ages! Things have been pretty hectic cover the last year and a half. I ended up not being accepted for Honors English and US History, so I didn't have to deal with that, but Sophomore classes are much or difficult than Freshman ones. Anyway, I almost debated passing this story over to someone else, but I think I can manage it now because it's summer vacation and all. Also, I plan on editing the previous chapters for spelling errors and such. Enjoy!
As I lay in my four-poster that night, I started to think, "life's pretty boring when your life pretty much mirrors your parents'. I mean, both my parents were on the quidditch team and had a close-knit group of friends, and every time I interact with adults it's always "You look just like your mother!" "We should expect great things from you! Look at your father!" What if I don't want to live up to society's expectations? Maybe I'm just being an angsty teenager, but why did I have to come from a family that has to live up to high expectations? Dad keeps track of my marks like a hawk. If I were to ever drop below an O it'd be World War IV. In all honesty, I love my parents, but I want to be my own person for once. Let Brittany, Jessie, or the one of the triplets be the poster child for the Potter family. Oh well, good thing tomorrow's Saturday or I'd never be able to concentrate in classes, since its 3:00am."
"Good morning, Robert," I said cheerily
"Bonjour, ma cousine," he replied.
"Any plans for today?"
"I thought I'd maybe go visit Hagrid then go down to the lake. Want to join me?"
"Sure, after some breakfast. Hagrid's food isn't exactly the most edible around."
"Hehe. Oh, your dad wanted to see you in his office. I ran into him in the Great Hall."
"What for? Did he say?"
"No, but he seemed a little worried."
"Well thanks for relaying the message. I'll hopefully see you later."
"Yeah. See you."
What could Dad want to see me for? I don't think it's anything to do with Uncle Ron and the Death Eaters. I hope everyone's ok.
I made my way up to the DADA office and knocked on the door.
"Come in," he said.
I opened the door and sat in the chair in front of the desk. Hedwig hooted softly in her sleep.
"Rob told me you wanted to see me," I told him.
"Yes. Uncle Ron and the others came upon some information that concerned you," he said gravely.
"Me? Why me?" I asked.
"We're not certain, but I believe it may have something to do with the Death Eaters, Lucius Malfoy especially," he said.
"So, what, do I have to go into hiding like Grandpa and Grandma Potter?" I asked again.
"Not yet, but I caution you to keep a sharp eye, Julianna, especially on Beatrice Potter. It wouldn't surprise me if she was helping them," he said, looking at me over his wire-rimmed spectacles.
"You needn't worry, Dad. I'm 14 afterall," I commented.
"That's what concerns me," he said, "you're more like me than you know. I was pretty self-confident at your age, to the point of recklessness almost."
"Dad, I'll be fine," I said.
"Alright, but I still want you to be aware of your surroundings. Always keep your wand with you, and never go anywhere alone. Oh, and keep an eye on your sister too, but don't tell her anything," he said, "oh, and write to your mother. She's pretty worried."
"Will do," I said, "trust me, Dad. I'll be OK. Don't worry."
"It's my job to worry. I'm your father," he laughed.
"OK, bye Dad. I'll see you later," I said with a smile.
On the outside, I put on heirs or bravery. On the inside I was scared to death. Me? Wanted by the Death Eaters? I guess it's possible when you're the eldest of the Chosen One's children.
A/N: I have a plot!!! Yay for me!! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. I can't believe I have a plot line now after 1 ½ years. Anyway, review and I will love you forever!! Toodles, Laura.
A/N on edit: I changed this chapter so that it takes place in the DADA office like it's supposed to. I originally wrote it in the Headmaster's office because I didn't remember that Harry was the DADA teacher and McGonagall was the Headmistress. Sorry for any confusion! Also, I'll be gone quite a bit this summer, so chapters will be few and far between unless I decide to pass it on to someone else or make it a joint story with one of my school friends. Have a good summer you guys! Also, if anyone didn't understand "ma cousine", it's French for "my cousin (female)."
