'This isn't so bad,' the girl thought as she looked around the platform. She glanced quickly up at her twin brother hoping he wouldn't insist that she stay with him the whole journey. Draco was nice to her but his friends were just revolting.
A few minutes after she had left Draco finally noticed she was gone. "Probably went to see Penny or something," he grumbled and boarded the train.
Julianna Malfoy was transferring from Beauxbatons. Her father wanted her nearby so he could watch her. She was sort of the oddball of the family. She edged away from her brother and his friends and ran into Penny a seventh year Hufflepuff that she had known since she was seven. They hadn't seen each other very much since she turned ten and was sent to France, but had kept in touch via owl.
"G'morning Miss Moneypenny," Julianna grinned.
"Morning Juli," she said excitedly. "You are so going to love it here".
"I certainly hope so. I have to go put my stuff on the train, but I'll see you in a few minutes Penny."

"Stupid heavy thing," she mumbled to herself.
"Ummm would you like some help?" She turned to find a tall boy with messy dark hair and bright green eyes.
"Yes actually," she smiled. "I'm Julianna Malfoy, and before you can ask, yes I am related to Draco, but not by choice."
"Pleased to meet you, I'm Harry Potter." He said, watching her with interest. "If I may ask, how are you related to him?"
"He's my brother, well actually my fraternal twin." Harry nodded with a smile.
"Alright then Julianna, we should get to a compartment."
"Please, call me Juli; it's so much easier to say." "Ok." Harry grinned. This girl didn't seem as bad as her brother was. At the sound of the Hogwarts Express whistle, the two boarded the train quickly and began searching for their friends. She found Penny in a compartment talking to a red haired boy and a rather bushy haired girl. These turned out to be the friends Harry was looking for.
Penny introduced the two of them as Ron and Hermione. They invited Julianna and Penny to stay in their compartment to chat. Juli, it turned out, really was a family embarrassment. She wasn't like them, she didn't have an evil bone in her body and as a result she caught a lot of flack. Seventeen years old and she was only now being brought back from France where she was sent to live with her aunt as soon as it became obvious that she would never get into Slytherin house like all the rest of her family.
Nobody seemed too surprised about the way her father shipped her away, what did surprise them was when Juli told them that her brother wasn't all that bad. Just irritating at times, but then weren't all brothers. He really did go to great lengths to protect her.
Harry, Ron and Hermione informed her that they were not aware that Draco was capable of kindness. Juli laughed.
The train pulled up at the Hogsmeade station and before she knew it she was being ushered around with first years. Hagrid explained that he knew she was a seventh year technically but she needed to be sorted. She sincerely hoped that she would be placed with her brother. Her father might decide that she wasn't such a disgrace if she were placed with Draco. Waving to Penny and the others, she followed Hagrid and the first years toward the lake.
***********
The sorting was interesting to her. It had been very different at her other school. When her name was called she became very nervous. She walked up to the stool and the hat was placed on her head.
At once a voice said. "Hmmm I know the place for you; Gryffindor."
"You can't put me there," her mind silently screamed.
"Believe me child, it's for the best that's the only place you'll do well." The hat shouted "Gryffindor" for all to hear and the hall erupted in cheers. Juli tried not to look absolutely stricken and she walked to her seat wondering if maybe she couldn't find some way to keep her placement secret from her parents. This was going to be a long year.
