I'm really sorry for the late update but I was in a bit of an writers block and school was just really crazy.
Thank you WingsOfThePhoenix205, for clearing the niece thing up, I will keep it in mind and hopefully I won't make the mistake again!
I was going to leave the chapted in a cliffhanger but decided against it, so I hope it will make up for the late posting.

In that moment a blonde stuck her head in the compartment the two girls were in and smiled. Daisy felt wary, because of what the twins had told her, but Kelly smiled back at the girl. "I thought I heard your voice," Amy said with a smile on her face, while she looked at Daisy. Daisy smiled back, but she could feel it was strained. She had really liked talking to Amy, but she couldn't shake off what the twins had told her, that Amy was only friends with her to get close to the two pranksters, one she was friends with and the one she hated. No, she didn't hate him anymore, but she still wouldn't call him a friend.
"Hello, how was your holiday?" Daisy asked polite, but it was enough for Kelly to know something was up. When Daisy was polite it meant she wasn't comfortable, or that her mother was around, but the second option wasn't in the picture.
"I had so much fun, I went to my grandparents with Christmas and I got a lot of gifts too," Amy gushed, but Daisy only listened with half an ear. "How was your holiday?"
"Good," Daisy answered short, but didn't make it sound like she wanted the girl gone. She had learned about etiquette her whole life after all. Now Kelly knew that something was definitely wrong, because she could read between the lines what Daisy actually meant, she had been her best friend for too long not to know.
"Well I only wanted to say hi, since I'm still looking for my friends," Amy said with a smile still on her face, but know that Daisy knew the truth, she could see the smile for what it was. It was a fake one, a good one, but still fake.
"I think I saw them in the back," Daisy provided the information, not in the least tempted to invite her in. She wasn't planning on making her new found enemy to leach on her.
"Thank you," Amy said a little taken back, while she walked out of the compartment and closing the door. She only confirmed Daisy's suspicion that she had wanted to be invited in, since she clearly sounded a bit disappointed.
"What have I missed?" Kelly asked her best friend, for her cool behavior and that reminded Daisy she hadn't shared to Kelly what she had heard from the Joyce and Nadelyne. The good mood she had been in, had completely shattered. She had forgotten she had a fight with her best friend before the holiday, or else Kelly had known this all along.
"Let's just say, that girls really can be two faced," Daisy said with a frown on her face, glad that she could be herself again, since Daphne would have scolded her for that.
"Did you guys have a fight?" Kelly asked her best friend, still not getting the cryptic message. Daisy shook her head letting her friend no.
"Joyce and Nadelyne have told me she only is my friend to get close to Potter and Fred," Daisy told her best friend in a dark voice. She didn't like being used, because her family did that enough. She felt more like a marionette at home, but she had thought that at school it would be different. Amy just made her feel like one and she didn't like it, not at all.
"That is awful," Kelly said in shock, she had never thought someone would do that. A Slytherin maybe, but a Ravenclaw she wouldn't have thought would do that. "What are you going to do about it?"
Daisy shrugged her shoulders, what could she do about it? She wasn't going to tell Potter and Fred, her pride would never let her do that. The cold shoulder was the best she could come up with, but ignoring her all together wasn't polite and if there was something she couldn't stand was not being polite. Potter was the only exception to the rule. He had pushed too many of her buttons to stay polite. "Nothing, she will soon discover it won't work," Daisy said because it was the only rational thing she could come up with.
Kelly nodded her head, in agreement. "Those two would never fall for that," she told her best friend in comfort. She knew people would gladly go after the two, but one was taken by her and the other was too smitten with her best friend to even look at someone else. Kelly was glad to know that Fred would never go out with someone else, or she would have been worried.
Daisy groaned when the door opened again, but when she saw who entered, it made her smile. Lily and Roxanne entered the compartment and without an invitation sat down. Just the right timing, because those girls had soon become very good friends of her and always knew how to cheer her up. Not knowing she needed to be cheered up.
"We are offended that you are sitting here, instead of looking where we are," Lily said, while she crossed her arms in front of her chest, but she smile on her face betrayed her amusement. Roxanne followed the gesture of her cousin and looked at her in mock anger.
"By the way, before I forget, my brother wants to know if you want to sit by him," Roxanne said, while she never let her gaze wonder from Daisy, but both girls knew it wasn't directed to her, but to Kelly.
"And instead of wondering in the hall, you are here, so I don't have to look for the two of you," Daisy said with a smile on her face. Like she had been planning for this to happen all along.
"Touché," Roxanne said with a smile on her face than she looked at Kelly. "Not to rush you, but if you don't go to my brother, he will go looking for you and who knows in what for trouble he might get." This made Kelly stand up, because she had been made prefect and she didn't want to be the cause of those troubles.
"Do you mind?" Kelly asked her best friend, knowing better to invite her with. They both knew James Potter would be with Fred and Daisy wouldn't follow.
Daisy shrugged. "I got these two, to keep me company," Daisy said with a smile, she didn't wanted to keep Kelly away from her boyfriend, since she was the one to set them up in the first place.
"I told you, she wasn't trying to get rid of us," Lily said as if it was a matter of fact. "She still loves us, even when my brother is an ass." Daisy looked in surprise at the fifth year, she had never heard the red head curse before, but the look Roxanne sent her, it was a common thing. It was better to get used to, it seemed.
Kelly hugged her best friend, knowing she was in good hands. "Meet you at the carriage?" Kelly asked, in which Daisy nodded her head in agreement. Kelly left the compartment, searching for her boyfriend.
"How was the rest of your holiday?" Roxanne asked the blonde girl in excitement. Daisy had to laugh at that. It was clear the two cousins enjoyed her company as much as she enjoyed theirs.
"I survived," Daisy told the two girls, the two of them not knowing how much truth there was in that statement. Even when Daphne hadn't known where she had been, she had been mad at her daughter for being late, by one minute and she had been sent up to her room for the rest of the week, but it hadn't been able to sour her mood. She had rebelled and she had never felt so good while she was at home.
She talked to the girls about school and how they were doing in school, she even offered to help them if they needed help, because she didn't felt the need to make herself seem like she was stupid around them. She even found herself enjoying talking about the subjects they were taking and providing them with the information they missed to completely understand it.
When the train stopped and the girls had changed their clothes, they were ready to walk off the train. Daisy was the first to go out, but was stopped in her tracks. Before her there were two people snogging and she felt a sudden pain in her chest. Her heart broke, seeing the two of them. They both had dark hair and it wasn't difficult to see who the two people were.
The girl looked up, when she heard a small gasp and giggled.
"Oops, looks like we aren't the only ones in here," Amy giggled, at least Potter had the decency to looked shocked. Lily and Roxanne made gagging noises behind her and one of them put her hands on her back, but Daisy was too much in shock to realize who it was.
"You could pick them better," Lily said in disgust, making Daisy realize she was the one that made her walk past them. The only reason she kept walking and she was glad for it, because she knew she would have stood there still otherwise. Apparently Kelly wasn't right for once, he did fall for it. Amy had gotten what she wanted.
