A/N: Well, here's my second part. Thank you to Kelly (hee hee) who actually reviewed my first part. She was the only person. *tear* Anyways, for those of you who might not know yet, Kelly is NOT going to be going to school with Harry and the rest of them. She'll be going with Lily Evans and James Potter and some of the teachers and other people. I've finally told my dad that I post these things and he said that he'd let me do it and I wouldn't have to sneak around depending on my grade card. Oh well, I think it'll be good enough for me to do this LEGALLY. N-E-Wayz, here's part 2!

Chapter 2: The Meeting

Kelly and her parents went to Diagon Alley to get her school things the next week, the soonest they could get a flight to England. She was looking at the shops and people walking down the cobbled street.

"Oof! Watch where you're going!" Kelly looked up. She had bumped into a young boy about her age. He was pale, with blond hair and jet black eyes. He was thin, and rather tall.

"Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going. I've never been here before and--"

She looked up and realized that the boy had disappeared.

"Now where did he go?" She wondered aloud.

"Probably to Knockturn Alley to find his dad." Kelly looked up and saw that a young girl had fallen in step with her. She was a borderline brunette - redhead with brilliant green eyes. "I'm Lily Evans. Don't worry about Lucius. He doesn't give half a rat's you-know-what about you. You're muggle-born, aren't you?"

"Muggle?"

"Muggle, as in human parents. Not a witch and a wizard?"

"Oh. Yeah. I only found out about this whole magic thing like a week ago. What about you?"

"Muggle-born. But I got an owl, and I've been staying at Diagon Alley. They send people to get you in America, don't they? I mean, you didn't get an owl, did you? Oh, never mind. But anyways, Lucius is a mean kid, I've already had a run-in with him. C'mon, let's go to Madame Pomfrey's. That's where I left the rest of my group." She dragged Kelly through the crowd to a small corner shop. The sign read:

Madame Pomfrey's

Cures and antidotes for

Almost Every Curse and Ailment

They entered the cool, dark store and Kelly saw a small group of kids her age in one corner.

"This is James," a boy with gray eyes, "and Remus," a boy with a shock of dark hair atop his head, "and Peter," a sickly, overly thin and too-pale boy whom Kelly instantly didn't trust, "and Sirius," who needed a haircut pretty badly, "and Hagrid," a massive boy who seemed like a teddy bear, "and Arthur," a boy with shockingly red hair, "and Judith. Her mom owns this shop."

"Hi," Kelly said. She seemed lost in the group. "I'm Kelly."

"Pleased the meet yeh, Kelly." Hagrid's loud voice filled the shop and several people turned to look at them.

"Uh, Hagrid, you probably shouldn't do that--" Peter's nasal voice died out as he finished the sentence. Kelly's distrust of him grew, though she didn't know why.

"Kelly? Kelly, hon, we need to get your school things." Her mom came into the store.

"I've gotta go, guys. I'll see you at school."

"Bye!" the group chorused. Kelly walked out of Pomfrey's and down Diagon Alley, glad that she knew someone before she actually went to Hogwarts.

"I'm so nervous, you guys. What if I don't get into a good house?" The sorting ceremony was beginning and the hat was singing its heart out. Kelly was nervous.

"You'll do fine, Kelly." The song was finally done.

"Black, Sirius." Sirius stepped forward and put on the hat. It made its decision pretty quickly.

"Gryffindor!" Everyone cheered, except for the Slytherins. (A/N: I wrote this a while back…sorry if it sucks)

Kelly was anxious. She was the last person to be sorted. Everyone else in their group was in Gryffindor.

"Gryffindor!" Arthur Weasley staggered to the Gryffindor table. Kelly broke out into a cold sweat.

"Wick, Kelly." She stood up and walked to the stool, feeling extremely tiny in the huge hall. The hat was placed on her head and she jumped when it whispered in her ear.

"Hmmm, you're very brave. And loyal to your friends. And enthusiastic. You're too energetic and innocent for Slytherin, so I would have to say…Gryffindor!"

Lily ended up being Kelly's roommate, much to both of their glee.

"Did you see how the Hat didn't even touch those three guys' heads to put them into Slytherin?"

"Yeah, that was kinda disturbing. Who was it? Lucius, Tom Riddle, and that S-guy."

"Severus Snape?"

"Yeah, I think that's him. He wasn't as scary as the others, though. He just didn't really seem as bad."

"What're you talking about? He's like worse than them!"

"I'm not quite sure…I've just been able to tell things about people. And it's like I know what they're like before I meet them. Like Peter…ugh. But Hagrid is harmless."

:"You're scaring me. Good night."

"'Night." But Kelly couldn't fall asleep. She lay on her bed and stared at the ceiling, heard a noise and jumped. I'm going to take a walk, calm myself down. She got out of bed quietly and crept out of the common room. She wandered aimlessly around the passages until she was hopelessly lost in the Slytherin dungeons. How'd I get down here?

Just then, she heard two voices. She cowered in the shadows as Lucius and Tom strode by.

"Are you sure it'd work? I mean, mudbloods have to go, but maybe we should do it later on." Kelly gasped. Tom and Lucius whirled around and saw her.

"Well, well, well," Tom said, his voice dripping with malice. "What do we have here? A mudblood Gryffindor eavesdropping? What do you think we should do about this, Lucius?"

"Hmmm, I think we should--"
