Flashback:
There are three houses that you would be great in. You have bravery for Gryffindor, brains for Ravenclaw, and slyness for Slytherin. I think I will place you in…"
Chapter 7
"GRYFFINDORE" The hat yelled out. The occupants in the office burst into cheers. Before I knew it, I was being yanked from my chair and dragged out of the office by the twins. I toured the Gryffindor common room, the library, the Great Hall, and where my classes would be located. The twins also showed me the secret passageways and the room of Requirement. After my tour inside the castle they proceeded to take me outside. The first stop was the quidditch pitch where they told me about the rules of the game. I liked the sound of flying. I didn't think I would like playing quidditch but I would love to fly. We walked towards Hagrid's hut. Hagrid was inside Clyde's pin grooming him. He was very attached to my horse. Luckily that I meant he would always be taken care of. The twins and I stood outside the pin and watched in silence. Fred was the one to break the silence.
"New pet of yours Hagrid?" he asked. The question caused me to smirk. This would come as a shock.
"No, No, not mine. This magnificent animal belongs to the lovely lady standing in between you two jokesters." Hagrid answered while chuckling. Both twins turned to face me in shock. I just laughed and climbed over the fence and dropped into the pin. The twins scrambled after me falling into the enclosure.
"Twins meet my horse Clyde. I had him flown over from my old home. Hagrid has been taking care of him" I explained. The twins and I talked, joked and laughed until it was time for dinner. A light bulb went off above my head causing my eyes to glint mischievously.
"Let's make ourselves known," I stated. This got the boys attention. They leaned into me and I told them my plan.
It was 7:00 p.m. Fred, George and I were sitting in my room waiting to be called down. The door bell had been ringing off the hook for a half hour. This was going to be a big dinner. The twins and I were dressed to impress. Fred wore a bright lime green tuxedo while George had on a bright highlighter yellow one. I was dressed in a skimpy Bahaman sea blue dress. The dress barely covered my entire ass and showed off a lot of cleavage. The twins had both gawked when I had first come out.
"Hurry up you three!" Sirius yelled from down stairs. I had become very close to him. I thought of Sirius as a step-dad almost.
"Let's go," I yelled taking a colorful twin on each arm. They stopped at the top of the stairs and cleared their throats.
"We would like to present Rachel Hott to you. Most of you already know her but just humor us. She is a new student who will attend Hogwarts. She will carry on the pranks of the Marauders" The twins shouted at the same time. They magically opened the dining room and strutted in with me on their arms. They made sure to show me off to everyone. Dinner was a crazy and fun affair. The table was full of every type of food imaginable.
"This is the remaining Weasley family," Fred said pointing out two red headed kids. Of course I had already read all about them. I knew just as much about them as anyone else and probably more.
"Ginny Weasley" The red haired girl said. She stuck out her hand which I gently shook.
"Nice to meet you," I replied. There was no need to say my name.
"I'm-"A young lady with bushy hair started to say. I politely cut her off.
"I know who you are. It's nice to finally meet the golden trio." I said. Harry and Ron scowled but Hermione grinned.
"What do you mean finally?" She asked. I grinned at her in bemusement.
"You truly are the smartest witch of her age. What I meant was that I have heard many things about you all. Sirius, Remus and Tonks are living her for the summer. They are constantly telling me all about you three and your adventures. I didn't mean anything mean by what I said." I explained. Hermione giggled and gave me a hug. Ginny fallowed her lead and gave me another one. Harry and Ron both grinned and shook my hand. We talked throughout dinner. They were easy to get along with and I could really see them as great friends. We were waiting for dessert and talking about my old school. The door burst open and a man around my mom's age rushed in. He had a huge hooked nose, greasy hair and a fierce scowl.
"Snivillus! How may I help you?" My mom said. Serverus Snape had never been on good terms with my mom. She had filled me in about him on the plane. She had hated him during school and apparently still did. Snape ignored my mom and whispered urgently to Dumbledore. They both excused themselves and left the table. The rest of the Order members went back to talking and eating. I had to know what was so important.
"I'll be back," I muttered to my new friends. The twins slipped me a pair of extendable ears while I announced I have to use the bathroom. I left the dining room and walked towards the closed office door. I tiptoed to the door and put the 'ears' to use.
"Are you certain Serverus?" I heard Dumbledore asked. He sounded agitated and worried.
"I'm positive Albus. The Dark Lord knows that the girl is living her. He also knows that the reason she is here is because of you. If I don't give him some tidbit he will start to question my alliance. Want is so special about this girl?" Serverus demanded. I heard feet and figured they were walking towards the door. I prayed that they didn't open the door.
"Tell Tom about some of the girl's power. I can not tell you why she is so special. I will need to put some guards on her. I believe she will be even more difficult then Harry." Dumbledore sighed. The door handle twisted and I bolted back to dinner. I definitely need to tell the others about this.
After dinner my friends and I were kicked out because of an emergency order meeting. Fred and George were pissed that they were excluded from this meeting. They were Order members but Dumbledore wouldn't allow them to know this information.
"Let's go talk," I said leading everyone up the stairs. I led them to the game room attic. The attic was decorated in a midnight blue and included a; pinball machine, pool table, flat screen TV and a giant stereo. We all sat down on the five large bean bags. We spent the next hour talking about everything I had over heard. We decided to keep listening to the Order's conversations. Until we got more information we would have to drop the subject. We talked about our lives and I filled them about mine.
"Did you mom go to Hogwarts?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, actually she did. She attended until her sixth year. She was good friend with Sirius and Remus." I answered.
"She must have been friends with my parents then. That would also explain why Sirius and Remus look so comfortable with her." Harry mused. I grinned at him.
"She met James before the rest of them. Remus and he acted like over protective brothers. She also knew Lily. She told me that your mother was the most amazing person she had ever met. Harry, you should talk to her. She could tell you more than I can" I replied. I looked over at Hermione and could tell she was processing what I had just said.
"Wait just one damn minute," Ginny said. She figured it out before Hermione. "You said Remus and Harry's dad but you never mentioned Sirius"
"She dated Sirius in her forth year." I said giggling. Ginny and Hermione joined in with me.
"They looked pretty lovey dovey when we were at Hogwarts. I bet they still like each other." Fred exclaimed. I paused and looked at him. It was true that my mom had been all school girlish around Sirius.
"Let's get them together" Ron proclaimed. I stuck my hand in the middle of the group. Everyone put their hand on mine. This was going to be so much fun!!
