The Path We Choose.......

Chapter Two: These are my children........

(Disclaimer: I don't own the lot of Harry Potter cept my own characters, Kaitlyn and Julie)

Mr. Callosa took Julie over to 12 Grimmauld Place the instant she came down the stairs. No one spoke, until Mr. Callosa broke the silence when they reached the driveway of Grimmauld Place.
"You're going to be fine Julie. Don't mind your mother, and be good while you are here. See you next summer. I'm proud of you." He gave her a quick hug, and then walked away.
"You're not going to see me to the door?" Julie shouted to him.
"Not today sweets." He blew her a kiss, then continued to walk away.
Julie watched him until she couldn't see him anymore. 'Here goes nothing.' She thought to herself, as she timidly walked up to door and knocked quietly. 'If they don't answer, I'm going home.' She turned to leave, when the massive door opened and revealed a woman in her late twenties, early thirties.
"Do come in dear child." She held out her hand, expecting Julie to take it. Julie grasped the lady's hand and let herself be pulled into the magnificent house.
The first thing she saw, was the living area. Two gorgeous couches were placed around the warm, welcoming fire. There was a desk, in which a girl, Julie's age, was sitting. It was a fine mahogany wood desk, with a chair to go with it. There was a few chairs scattered around the room. Across the room, were stairs. Julie, curious as she was, almost walked across the room to see what was up the stairs, but decided it would be best to introduce herself.
"Um, hi. I'm Julie. Thanks for letting me stay here for the rest of summer." She blushed a little.
"It's no problem dear. My name is Calista Black, my husband, Adrian, isn't here at the moment." A dark expression passed over her face, but disappeared a second later.
"Nice to meet you." Julie squeaked.
"These are my children, Sirius and Kaitlyn, they are fraternal twins. My youngest, is upstairs now. He's 9 years old. Kaitlyn, why don't you show Julie her room." She looked over at the young girl that was sitting at the desk. The girl, Julie's age no doubt, had brown hair, soft brown eyes. She looked up from whatever she was doing and smiled.
"I'll carry your bags. Follow me." She smiled again and picked up Julie's suitcase. She walked up the stairs. Julie followed. She looked around the living area again, for the first time noticing a black haired boy, whose face was similar to Kaitlyn's. He smiled at her, then continued to read his book.
"It's your first year at Hogwarts too?" Kaitlyn asked once they had reached Julie's bedroom.
"Yeah. Yours?"
"Yep. You nervous? Kaitlyn looked at Julie, her icy stare intimidated Julie.
"I suppose, I don't know anything about magic." Her cheeks turned a light shade of pink.
"Neither do I. Well I know about the magic world and stuff, but I have no idea what sort of place Hogwarts is."
"I've only just heard of the place today, at least 45 minutes ago." Julie watched Kaitlyn's expression of horror.
"You've only just heard of it? That's odd. Why? Your parents didn't want you to know what you really are?" Kaitlyn looked horrified and shocked at this information.
"Well, you see, my parents aren't of a magic back round." Again she looked to see Kaitlyn's reaction to this.
"Your parents are Muggles?! Non magic folk." Her eyes widened.
"Yep. That's one way to put it." Julie smiled. Why she smiled, even herself had no idea. This was no matter to smile about, but she felt that there was a comical sense about Kaitlyn.
"Well, this is your room for the rest of the summer. But I wonder, how are you related to us, Mum mentioned that you're our second cousin or something of that sort. Barely related she said. But I wonder how if you're a Mudblood." Kaitlyn grabbed her mouth the moment the words escaped her mouth. Julie didn't bother ask what a 'mudblood' was. "Either way, we'll go see. Mum has this fantastic tapestry hanging in the hallway, shall we have a look?" Kaitlyn asked.
"That would be nice."
They ran down to the tapestry and Julie looked at it. It was huge. Julie searched for her aunt's name, since she figured her parents wouldn't be on there since they were 'Muggles'. After a minutes of searching, Julie knew her aunt wasn't on it.
"She's not there. My aunt that is. She was a witch."
"Well let's ask mother later. Just to let you know, she isn't fond of Mudbloods. I'm not sure if she knows you are one." Kaitlyn had a worried look on her face, but quickly got rid of it when she saw Regulus coming down the hall.
"That's Regulus, my baby brother. Course he isn't much of a baby now, is he?" She asked Julie.
"He does have that baby look about him though, if you look close enough." Julie winked over at Kaitlyn, who exchanged her wink.
"Dinner. Kaitlyn, Regulus, Sirius, Julie, wash up first."
