Author's Note:
Flowerchild23: Oh, the boys won't forget her, they can't. As for introducing her to more magic...you'll have to wait and see.
Matan1998: I think you meant Vi. And as for her and Voldemort…that's going to be difficult. Well, she's going to make things very difficult for him.
Guest: Thanks for pointing that out, I will go over it later and have a look.
I am surprised, but happy, how Vi not going to Hogwarts was taken. I was expecting disappointment. Well, shall we get on with the fic? I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please Read and Review.
Chapter 13 – Between Muggles and Pure-bloods.
"It's a shame you're not coming, it would have been so much fun." Lily sighed as they walked through King Cross station.
"Yeah, the boys said the same thing, like a million times. I have a feeling they would try and smuggle me into Hogwarts if they could." Vi smiled. "Besides, me not going means I can continue practicing rounder's."
"You're getting good at it." Mr Evans told her
"I know." Vi said proudly. They walked through the barrier, it was only 10:30.
"I am going to try and find Severus." Lily rushed off.
"Can I go and find my friends?" Vi looked at her parents.
"Go ahead, try not to go off too far though." Mrs Evans nodded.
"Thanks." Vi went off, looking around the people that were there.
"Vi!" Remus ran over to her.
"Remus! How was the rest of your summer?" Vi asked
"It was pretty good." Remus nodded
"I hope the cycle wasn't too bad…" Vi whispered, knowing he wished to keep it a secret.
"It was hard…as usual…You know you still don't have to be my friend…" Remus looked away.
"You keep saying that. But, you are what you make of yourself, and I don't share your opinions of yourself." Vi said. "Sorry, but you're stuck with me."
"Is he still going on about it?" James, Sirius and Peter joined them.
"Yeah." Vi nodded.
"But it's true…" Remus said. James, Sirius, Peter and Vi let out a collective sighed.
"Hey, Remus. You see this arm?" James held out his left arm.
"Um… yeah?" Remus frowned
"It's actually smaller then my other arm, but you can't tell, especially when I twirl like this." James twirled, Vi smirked.
"I'm lactose intolerant." Peter said
"I'm Obnoxious." Sirius added.
"I have anger issues." Vi smiled.
"No! Really?" Sirius gasped at her in mock surprise, Vi giggled and punched him.
"Vi is right. Just because you have this…furry little problem, doesn't mean you should keep away from us. We know and trust you." James smiled "I just wish there was something more we could do to help you."
"We could work on that this year." Sirius said.
"I'll will help anyway I can, but I don't think I can do much from home." Vi said
"Just keep cheering him up." James told her.
"I guess I could bake something for you guys every week." Vi muttered, Sirius' eyes light up.
"Really?" He asked. Vi laughed.
"Yeah, but just don't eat everything." Vi nudged him playfully. The group laughed, they didn't notice the approached of an angry woman, she glared down at Vi. Sirius noticed he, he glared, he quickly pushed Vi behind him. She stopped and looked up at the woman and realised who she was. It was Mrs Black.
"You're that Mudblood who contaminated my son." She snarled. Vi remained slight.
"She's a Muggle." Sirius stated. "And never use that term!" James put a hand on Vi's shoulder, the other marauders pushed her back, also standing in front of her.
"You wish to tarnish our family name don't you." Mrs Black glared down at Sirius. "Being a Gryffindor and being friendly with Half-bloods and Mudbloods is bad enough, but Muggles!"
"Remus, get Vi back to her parents…" Sirius said, Vi looked at him. James smiled at her weekly.
"We'll talk to you later." He said, Vi nodded. Remus took Vi back to her parents. Mr Evans hugged her, whilst Mrs Evans was muttering angrily under her breath.
"Violet!" Lily rushed over and hugged her. They all looked as another argument started up between Sirius and his mother.
"This is my fault…" Vi frowned.
"It's fine Vi. She is a horrible person." Lily assured her.
"She won't stop Sirius being your friend. We care too much." Remus muttered.
"Still…" Vi frowned. The argument began to come to an end. Mrs Black stormed away. Sirius clenched his fists. James put a hand on his shoulder and said something. Sirius sighed and replied to him. James pointed in the direction of Vi. Sirius looked over and sighed, he came over people were watching.
"sorry Vi…I never expected her to try and confront you directly…" Sirius said. "I may have put you in danger…"
"You tried to protect her. Thank you." Mrs Evans smiled kindly. Vi could see how sad Sirius seemed to be. She smiled, she got out of Lily's hug then hugged Sirius. He froze, Vi stepped back.
"Like I told Remus, You guys are stuck with me. So, no backing out of our friendship now." Vi said. Sirius smiled in return.
"I'm a Gryffindor, I don't back out of anything!" Sirius said proudly. "Any, don't let what my mother said get you down."
"She's terrifying." Lily muttered.
"She can't do anything to Vi." James said
"Right, it's against wizarding law, we can't use magic against Muggles." Sirius nodded.
"Will you be okay though?" Vi asked "I don't want you to get in more trouble with your family because of me."
"It's fine." Sirius smiled. "We should get on the train, we'll call you later."
"Okay. Speak to you later." Vi waved. The train began to move, the Potter's came over and walked through the barrier with the Evans'. Apologising for the behaviour of Mrs Black. They were clearly ashamed at the incident.
Back at Home, Petunia and Vi were sitting in her room talking about the event. The Evans' had offered the Potter's round, and they were having tea downstairs.
"I hope Lily doesn't have to go through that…" Petunia frowned.
"I asked the boys to keep an eye on her, they'll tell me if something was up." Vi assured her.
"Do…do you think she could forgive?" Petunia muttered, Vi looked at her. Petunia sighed. "I was just so jealous! Mom and dad just made such a huge thing out of it…I wanted it too. I even wrote to the headmaster…but, no…I am just a muggle."
"We're not that much different Tuney." Vi smiled "Wizards have magic, we have technology. And I think she will. She does care a lot about us Tuney, even if you were quite rotten to her." Petunia smiled.
"I'll have to apologise next time she writes." Petunia smiled. "But, I think I would like to stay away from the wizarding world. Seems like too much hassle for muggles like us."
"I can see why some people would want that." Vi nodded. "I think it's exciting!"
"You're crazy that's why." Petunia told her. Vi laughed. The mirror before her desk shimmered at the Marauders came into view.
"Hey Vi!" Sirius called.
"Hey guys! Oho, is lily in a compartment near you?" Vi jumped up.
"Um…Not sure." James muttered
"I saw her about 5 compartments down. Want me to go and get her?" Remus asked. Petunia got up and stood next to Vi, she nodded. Vi looked up at her.
"Apologising face to face is better than apologising by letter, right?" Petunia said.
"I guess." Vi nodded. Remus went off and returned with a worried Lily.
"Is everything Okay?" She asked
"Yep, Tuney wanted to talk to you." Vi stepped aside.
"I'm sorry! I was jealous and after today, I… I don't the distance I created between us. We used to be so close. All of us, then, I let my own feeling get between us… I'm sorry Lily. You're not a freak… I shouldn't have called you that in the first place…" Petunia looked away. Lily stood there, then smiled.
"So, you don't hate me anymore!" Lily asked, happily, tears springing to her eyes. "I wish I could hug you! I'll write to you! And Christmas will be so much fun this year!" Lily smiled.
"Right." Petunia nodded.
"Well, I better get back to Severus. I'll write tonight. See you." Lily smiled, she went back. The boys sat watching petunia wipe her eyes.
"I'll leave you to talk to your friends" Petunia smiled, and left Vi's room.
"So, my family issues have been solved. No more horrible silences!" Vi sat at her desk with a sigh. "It will make a pleasant change."
"Great. Anyway…" Sirius said, the conversation turned to the Hogsmead visits the boys would be taking in their third year, as well as their new lesson, care of magical creatures.
Author's note: Okay wasn't originally planning to have petunia apologise, but oh well, sometimes you just can't stop stories taking their own path.
