Chapter 6: Returning to School
The Lupin's took the four to Kings Cross Station and helped them load their things into a compartment. Before the train left Mr. Lupin took Petunia to the side.
"I might not like the fact that my son is in Slytherin but you've done more than we deserve. I think that he'll be in good hands."
"Thanks for believing in me," Petunia told him.
Of course Potter and his stupid friends managed to find them. Petunia glared as they entered the compartment.
"Well, well, it's the rejects," Potter taunted.
"Isn't that what your house is known as," Petunia snarled.
"Don't remind me," he said.
"Well if you don't want to be reminded, then leave," Petunia said, "Before you spend your entire time on the train as part of the train."
He gave her a look that told her only one thing, 'I dare you.' However Petunia snapped her fingers and they were sent back to whatever compartment was theirs. Petunia added the same spell that she used to keep them out the last time.
"Stupid gits," Severus hissed.
"Toerags," Lily added.
"Don't worry; they will rely on their money, and connections, to get them what they want. They, unless us, don't know anything about hard work."
"That I will agree with," Remus said. "Still can't believe that they're in Hufflepuff."
When the train pulled into Hogsmead everyone got off. Lily, Remus, and Severus joined her in a carriage, Severus commenting about the flying horses that were pulling it.
"I don't see anything," Lily said, "Are you sure that you saw something?"
"Positive," he said.
"I'll talk to my brother about it," Petunia promised.
The older students flooded into the Great Hall and settled in their seats. All around them students were showing off what they had gotten over the summer and over at the Gryffindor table they were talking about some music group that they had seen. Petunia could see the disgust in some of the Slytherin faces but didn't dare say anything since she was near them.
Professor McGonagall brought in the new students and they all watched as they were sorted. Their table grew longer due to the fact that there were over two hundred students that were being sorted. When the last one, "Zap, Amelia," was sorted into Hufflepuff the hat and stool were taken away and Dumbledore stood up.
"Welcome everyone to another year at Hogwarts. I have a few notices to hand out. First of all Mr. Filch has asked me remind you that the Forbidden Forest is off-limits to all students, that he's added twenty-nine new items that are now banned. The full list is outside Mr. Filch's office, also our lovely Miss Evans, who's a third year now, is once again re-opening her study room for those that need help with your work. Please inform your Head of House if you wish to-."
Over at the Hufflepuff table Potter and Black both booed this. She put her hand under the table and snapped them, making them yelp.
"That was you, wasn't it," Lily said.
"Now why would you say that?" Petunia asked and did it again, making them yelp, "Yeah, that was me."
Severus and Remus both snickered.
"As I was saying. Please inform your Head of House if you wish to take part. Quidditch trials for your house will take place during the second week of term. Please contact Madam Hooch if you're interested in joining."
The feast appeared without a word and both Petunia and Lily gave offerings to their immortal parent. Petunia had taught Lily how to do this all the while Petunia used the mist to hide what they were doing. As the feast continued Remus asked Petunia if she had gotten her Hogsmead form signed.
"Yeah, dad signed it," she said.
"Then you can get us sweets," he told her.
"Great, I get signed up for this," she said.
Truth was she didn't want to go to Hogsmead due to what it represented. However everyone was expecting something back when she went and she couldn't let her friends down.
"Okay, fine," Petunia gave in.
"Thanks," Remus said, pleased that he had got what he wanted.
During the feast Petunia found out that Narcissa had been made Head Girl. She congratulated her friend on this when the feast ended. Narcissa went pink and smiled.
"Everyone was shocked," she told Petunia.
"Well you did a good job as Prefect," Petunia reminded her.
"Thanks," she said.
"Miss Evans," Professor Flitwick called out and both Lily and Petunia turned around, "The older one."
"I'll see you later," Petunia told her friends and she headed towards the small Professor.
"The Headmaster wishes to see you," he said, "Don't worry, you're not in trouble."
"Glad to hear that," she said and she followed him down a corridor and up to the Headmaster's office.
"Miss Evans, glad that you could make it," he told her.
"Always glad to be available," she said.
"Miss Evans, I must tell you that I'm afraid that your life might be in danger. Lucius Malfoy had some guests over and most of them have left last term."
"I already know," Petunia told him, "I used a spell that my mother invented so that I could find out what was going on. It seems that Umbridge wants to target my sister and make her feel pain."
Dumbledore nodded and said, "I believe this has everything to do with the fact that you and your sister are in Slytherin. I didn't think this would be a problem but it has turned from bad to worst. If they attack you, or your sister, you will have to use your Hecatian powers."
"I understand," Petunia said.
"Do you think that there might be more Horcrux's out there?"
"I'm sure of it," Petunia said, "However I will have to wait until later to find out the location of the next one. I doubt there's many more, you can't rip your soul apart anymore than seven times and Tom has done it three times. There might be two or more left."
"How will you know if you have them all?"
"The spell that I've used to locate them will let me know," she said. "I know that's not the kind of workings that you would have done."
"If it gets rid of them, then I don't care," Dumbledore told her. "All I care about is the safety of the students and the future ones that will be coming."
"I understand," Petunia said. "Well I better get to bed."
He nodded and Petunia left.
