It was dark by the time James, Danae, Lily, Remus and Sirius arrived at the
Potter's house. They just entered the kitchen after putting their things
away eager for some dinner.
"Danae, James, I was wondering what time you two would be getting home." Mrs. Potter's voice sounded across the kitchen. She looked at Lily who she had not been expecting to see till the next day.
"Lovely to see you Lily dear." Lily smiled.
"Thank you Mrs. Potter, I hope having me here isn't too much trouble."
"Of course not, if we can handle these two." She said indicating James and Sirius. "You won't be any trouble at all." She turned her attention back to the two twins. "Your cousin is here, she's going to start at Hogwarts this year."
"Cassandra?" Danae questioned. "I thought she was still too young."
"She is, Electra has come over from America, she'll be in the same year as the five of you, I expect you to help her out and not to give her a hard time." Danae looked away from Mrs. Potter, her face taking on a rather unpleasant look. "Once you've all eaten, you can go and meet her." Mrs. Potter left the kitchen.
"What's wrong with Electra?" Lily asked Danae.
"She's absolutely horrid, she only exists so that she can mess everything up and complicate people's lives. She's awful." Danae answered with considerable restraint.
"She's not that bad." James interjected. Danae glared over at her brother.
"Of course you wouldn't think so, she didn't try to rid you of your eyes and lips permanently." Sirius sniggered.
"We should try it on Snape." Danae turned on him.
"It isn't funny." She stormed over to the kitchen table that already had five places set. Lily went to sit next to her but was prevented from doing so by Sirius who took the seat seconds before Lily could sit on it. Danae looked at him questioningly.
"I like this seat." He said shrugging.
"I'm sure she's grown out of it by now." James said. "She was only jealous." Danae "hmphed"
"That makes it so much better." Danae said sarcastically as she began to eat.
"I wonder why she's coming to Hogwarts." Remus said.
"Probably to get into some poor boy's pants." Danae said grimly. "I pity him whoever he is." "I highly doubt that her parents let her come all the way over here for that." James said dismissively.
"They probably didn't." Danae said her temper rising. "She probably killed them." Lily, Sirius and Remus laughed uneasily. It quickly died out in the small kitchen as they realised she wasn't joking.
"That's a horrible thing to say." Said a voice from the doorway, everyone but Danae jumped and turned to the doorway. There was Electra a tall extraordinary looking girl. She had long black hair that reached the middle of her back and crystal blue eyes that stood out against her tanned skin. She was thin, but incredibly well defined. She stepped into the kitchen and moved so that she stood precisely in front of Danae.
"So nice to see you again Electra." She said her voice dripping with sarcasm. Electra smiled.
"Come on Danae we can forget about the past can't we, after all we're going to be spending a year together at Hogwarts, we might as well be friends." She flashed another dazzling smile at Danae who looked as though she would like nothing more that to drop the pumpkin pie in front of her right on Electra's head. Instead she conjured up her own brilliant smiled and said.
"I would like nothing better." The two girls eyed each other for a few moments before Electra broke the stare.
"You must be Lily."
"Nice to meet you." Lily said in a neutral tone. Electra turned to Remus and Sirius.
"And you two must be James's friends Remus and Sirius." They nodded and shook her hand. Sirius held it for a lot longer than Danea thought was necessary. "Anyway I'm rather tired, I'm going to go and get some sleep, I'll see you all in the morning." She left the room and everyone turned to Danae.
"She doesn't seem that bad." Remus said, Danae turned to Sirius, who felt the need to get back into her good books.
"No she's completely evil." From Danae's glare Sirius assumed this hadn't worked.
"We'll see when we get to Hogwarts." Lily said. There was something unsettling about Electra that made Lily think that Danae was more right than she had ever imagined.
"Danae, James, I was wondering what time you two would be getting home." Mrs. Potter's voice sounded across the kitchen. She looked at Lily who she had not been expecting to see till the next day.
