Chapter Seven: The Chamber of Secrets Part 2.

Once, Elysian had used going to Diagon Alley as a way to get away from her parents, she had gone and enjoyed her day with no one constantly monitoring her shopping or trying to butter her up with promises of presents. Now, Elysian was forced to stand beside her parents as they walked down the alley towards Gringotts to get Harry some spending money, her parents had insisted she come with them as a 'family bonding trip.' She felt like a caged animal with everyone gawking at her now that everyone knew that she was Harry Potter's twin sister, it was annoying but also amazing and liberating – but it didn't stop her being annoyed.

Lily and James made sure to keep her beside them as they walked down the street. They didn't want her wandering off and leaving them for her Slytherin friends that were sure to be in the Alley as well. It had taken them weeks to convince her to join them as a 'family' and even then, she was reluctant. They never realised what effect they had on her and they couldn't understand why she was so resistant, but then, they didn't understand anything about her.

About halfway down the Alley, Percy and the Weasley twins separated from their group. Honestly, Elysian had nothing against Percy Weasley – sure he was a Weasley and wasn't and that automatically counted him among the people she disliked – not really, he was just a bit of a stick in the mud. She thought he would have made a great Slytherin, too bad his family are all light.

"How about we all meet up in half an hour to pick up the books?" Molly suggested as she ushered Harry and Ginny away.

Elysian found it disgusting how the older woman was trying so hard to have Ginny and Harry fall in love. It made her feel sick just thinking about having the little tramp as a part of the Potter family, not that she had a choice, her parents wanted it too but that didn't mean she had to like it or put up with it. Ginny had already started calling her 'sis' and it was driving Elysian to the end of her temper, luckily she had plans in place to ensure that, after Hogwarts, Elysian could move as far away from her family as she pleased.

Of course, her parents suddenly forgot all about her when the press began to swarm them, and she was finally able to slip away. Gringotts was her destination and she wouldn't let anyone get in her way, though she needn't worry as no one stopped her entering the bank nor did anyone stop her from finding a teller and asking him to find her an account manager. Elysian knew what she was doing was very risky and probably illegal but this Slytherin didn't want someone to get in her way nor did she want to have any reason to remain connected to the Potter family.

"How may I help you Miss Potter?" a banker asked.

"I wish to make an independent account," Elysian answered. The banker's eyes widened, and he instantly ushered her into a more private room so that they could talk more freely.

"Miss Potter," he began once they sat down. "You do realise what you're asking violates the eldest laws of the Ministry?"

"I do," Elysian nodded. "But this must be done, and I will use whatever asset I have to complete this task."

"Very well," the banker nodded in agreement before conjuring some paper work. "Shall we begin?"

It took them a little over twenty minutes to finish all of the paper work that went into creating an independent account. Elysian was proud that Neville had suggested this idea and instantly knew that this was what she wanted to do: by creating an independent account she now could cut herself off from the Potter family and begin investing her money, it also meant she would be free to choose her banking guardians – banking guardians being the people whom would invest her money and create a steady income for her – as well as provide a foot hold for her in the magical world. The reason it was illegal in the eyes of the ministry was because it could also be used as a way to usurp the Lord of a current house, Elysian could use the money she would soon be gaining to gain followers from the other Potter clan members and then could become the Head of House – though she would have a slightly harder time since she was a female and females were viewed as weak and unfit though there was no law that said they couldn't be a Head of the Family.

"Now that that is done, you have to pick your banking guardians," the banker stated, his face didn't show it, but she could tell he was eager to see whom she would pick.

"I would be honoured to name Gringotts Bank as my banking guardians. Who else would I trust then the goblins who know the market best?" Elysian grinned as she signed the name.

"We as well would be honoured," the banker said. "Do you have any requests?"

"See if you can buy me a share in the Daily Prophet, Olivanders and any other business that should see my prophets increase," Elysian answered. "And make sure Gringotts gets 30% of all gold given."

Goblins couldn't become metamorphosis but she could have sworn that the banker's eyes changed into galleons as he immediately went to writing down what she had said so that she could sign it and they could get it filed. It was a happy Elysian and banker that left the room and re-entered the main area with matching grins, Elysian was quick to leave Gringotts after making sure the papers had been filed and had made it back to her 'family' just in time for them to enter the book shop.

The shop was packed! Witches and wizards of all ages were in a long queue that wound right to the back of the shop, where Gilderoy Lockhart was signing his books. Elysian tried her best to stop her from begin sick as she spotted the peacock that was Lockhart smiling and preening himself at every available moment – it was official, there was someone more vain then her brother in the world… Merlin save them. They each grabbed a copy of Break with a Banshee and got into line with the Weasley's whom seemed to have been waiting in line for quite some time. No one complained about them cutting in once they saw who was doing the cutting in and soon whispers began to spread around the shop about the Potter family being near them. It got old real fast.

"Oh, there you are, good," said Mrs Weasley. She sounded breathless and kept patting her hair. "We'll see him in a minute…"

It seemed even Lily Potter had been taken under the sway of Gilderoy Lockhart as she too was preening herself and trying to make herself look better and more 'filled out' though James just ignored it. Elysian then spotted Hermione fawning over the peacock as she entered the store and instantly knew she would get no support from her Gryffindor friend. She hated being the only one to see through the charade.

Gilderoy Lockhart came slowly into view, seated at a table surrounded by pictures of his own face, all winking and flashing dazzling white teeth at the crowd. The real Lockhart was wearing robes of forget-me-not blue which exactly matched his eyes; his pointed wizard's ha was set at a jaunty angle on his wavy hair.

A short, irritable-looking man was dancing around taking photographs with a large black camera that emitted puffs of purple smoke with every blinking flash.

"Out of the way, there," he snarled at Elysian, moving back to get a better shot. "This is for the Daily Prophet."

"Big deal," Elysian and Ron said together, for once agreeing.

Gilderoy Lockhart heard them. He looked up. He saw Ron – and then he saw Harry and Elysian. He stared. Then he leapt to his feet and positively shouted, "it can't be Harry Potter?"

The crowd parted, whispering excitedly. Lockhart dived forward, seized Harry's arm and pulled him up to the front. The crowd burst into applause. Harry was posing proudly, his ego expanding with every camera shown and every round of applause he received as Lockhart shook his hand for the photographer, who was clicking madly, wafting thick smoke over the family.

"Nice big smile, Harry," said Lockhart, through his own gleaming teeth. "Together you and I are worth the front page."

Elysian felt the urge to vomit as she watched Lockhart throw his arm around Harry's shoulder. The urge intensified as people began taking photos of her family as well.

"Ladies and gentlemen," he said loudly, waving for quiet. "What an extraordinary moment this is! The perfect moment for me to make this little announcement I've been sitting on for some time!

"When young Harry here stepped into Flourish and Blotts today, he only wanted to buy my autograph – which I shall be happy to present him now, free of charge –" the crowd applauded again. "—he had no idea," Lockhart continued, giving Harry a little shake that made his glasses slip to the end of his nose. "that he would shortly be getting much, much more than my book, Magical Me. He and his school fellows will, in fact, be getting the real, magical me. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have great pleasure and pride in announcing that, this September, I will be taking up the post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"

The crowd cheered and clapped, and Harry found himself being presented with the entire works of Gilderoy Lockhart. Elysian quickly slipped away from the crowd, putting back all of the books she had picked up, and found Draco waiting for her on the stairway leading up to the second floor. She was ecstatic to see a familiar and trustworthy face among a sea of annoyances and hated enemies. Draco gave her a loving hug and grinned as Harry approached, looking for the sister his parents had ordered him to keep an eye on.

"Bet you loved that, didn't you, Potter?" Draco snarled. "Famous Harry Potter," he continued. "Can't even go into a book shop without making the front page."

"Leave him alone, he didn't want all that!" said Ginny running to defend her crush and future husband.

"Look Elysian, your brothers got a girlfriend!" Draco gaped. Elysian laughed as Ginny glared at them though it meant nothing to the Slytherins.

The rest of the family came over a few seconds later and Elysian knew that she would be dragged away soon. Suddenly a hand appeared on her shoulder and she knew immediately that it was Draco's father – Lucius Malfoy whom Elysian had had the pleasure of meeting at her birthday party when he dropped Draco off – as all of her family tensed up and some were even reaching for their wands.

"Well, well, well – Arthur Weasley, and the Potter's as well."

Draco grinned as his father stood behind him, Elysian and Draco both knew they were now safe from any retaliation.

"Lucius," said Mr Weasley, nodding coldly.

"Busy time at the Ministry, I hear," said Mr Malfoy. "All those raids… I hope they're paying you overtime?"

He reached into Ginny's cauldron and extracted, from amidst the glossy Lockhart books, a very old very battered copy of A Beginners Guide to Transfiguration.

"Obviously not," he said. "Dear me, what's the use of being a disgrace to the name wizard if they don't even pay you as well?"

"We have very different ideas of what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy," said the red head.

"Clearly," said Mr Malfoy.

Suddenly Arthur launched himself at Mr Malfoy knocking the two over as Elysian and Draco were pushed to the side. It appeared to everyone as if Mr Weasley had gone rabid as he tried to strangle Lucius. Once the two were pried a part, Elysian said goodbye to the Malfoy's before being dragged away from them by her brother and Ronald Weasley.

She ended up being dragged all the way to the Leaking Caldron where her 'parents' forced her through the floo and then proceeded to lock her in her room. Anger ripped through her but she ignored it as she pulled her secret stash of books and began reading. If they weren't going to teach her anything this year then she would have to teach not only herself but everyone else as well.

"Well that was fun."

Hi, this story is amazing! You truly do have talent. I can't believe how rude Lily and James are. Ely would be better with the Malfoys, Longbottoms, or Severus as family. One spot of bother, though. You said you would do this as somewhat of a reboot of an UNFINISHED story, therefore you absolutely need to finish it.

Oh, no, I think it's not gonna show up or something, like Elysian is gonna be the big time boss of this story.

Or like, somehow it'll come out that SHE was the reason the Dark Lord died, not Harry. I'm really just waiting for that. Might not happen, would be cool- She doesn't know the prophecy yet defeats Tom Riddle anyways.

I don't mean to be rude or anything but before you said the panther is named after the Greek God of war. Aries is the astrological sign and Ares is the God of war, no i in that one.
