Chapter Four – Floo Powder
Around one o'clock I heard the familiar crack and I woke up immediately. Guessing it was Uncle Scott I turned on my light.
"Hello Lily! How's the week been?"
"Long! How about yours," I replied.
"Interesting," he replied.
"Where's Madeleine?"
"She couldn't come because we can't leave tonight."
"What! Why can't be leave tonight?"
"Your dad couldn't leave because of the snow and so our plan works out he has to be gone before you."
"Oh, darn it!"
"We'll probably come at the same time tomorrow night."
"Okay."
"Have your stuff ready."
"Yes. Good bye, see you tomorrow."
"Bye," he said and with another crack he was gone, again.
The sun was out for a couple of hours than when it when away it started to slowly snow. It was a really long day. I feel bad about leaving Marie here by herself.
Some how, I fell asleep that night. I heard a crack followed by two others and I was wide awake. I turned on a light and standing by my closet were Uncle Scott, Madeleine and some other man the same age as Madeleine.
"Hi Lily," Uncle Scott said, "This is your brother Matt, Madeleine's twin."
"Hello," I said.
"Hi Lily, I came to meet you, again, and help," he said.
"Okay, uh, how are we going to get there? Uh well, where ever we are going," I asked.
"Well, because you can't Apparate yet, so we're going to use Floo powder," replied Madeleine.
"Our Dad said you knew how to use it," replied Matt.
"When do we leave?" I asked.
"Now, of course, get your bag or bags," Uncle Scott answered.
"I got up and took my gigantic brown bag from the closet. Then turned off the light and opened my door. Silently as we could we walked downstairs with Matt carrying my bag. We came to the first fire place in my house.
"Do you want the fire place in the family room or the one in the basement?" I asked in a whisper.
"Basement, it's farther away," replied a soft voice, Madeleine's.
So they followed me down another set of stairs. And we made our way across my basement trying hard not to trip or bump into anything.
"Sorry, our basement is a mess," I said.
"You should see Bill and Charlie's room!" replied Uncle Scott.
Someone then produced a wand and said, "Lumos." I think it was Uncle Scott.
Madeleine then pulled out her wand and pointed at the fire and said a spell.
Now there were flames in the fire place. Madeleine pulled out a bag and asked, "Ready?"
"Yeah," I replied. Everyone else just nodded.
"Here, you can go first," Madeleine said, while holding out the bag. I reached out my hand in a grabbed a handful.
"See you! Ahh wait a second…what do I say?"
"Oh right, say 'Scott's'" replied Matt.
I threw the handful of the silvery powder and stepped hesitantly into the fire. I gritted my teeth and said as clearly as I could, "Scott's."
There was a jolt and a whooshing sound. A moment later I found my self on the floor of and apartment.
"Lily!" Dad said.
"Daddy!" I said giving him a hug.
A second later Madeleine, Uncle Scott, and Matt (carrying my bag) appeared.
"I'll be right back," Matt said and he carried the bag into a room.
Then he went and another room and out came a teenage girl with dark brown hair in a bun.
"This is Kimi, she's one year younger than us," Matt said before he left the room.
"Hello Lily," she said shyly.
"Hi," I replied and thought: Okay, now I have four older sisters and an older brother!
"There are two more siblings," Dad said.
"Trey," said a teenage boy who just appeared, he was tall and had reddish brown hair.
"And Anthony," said the other who looked exactly like Trey.
"Hello. Wow, two sets of twins!" I said.
"Yup, we're 18," Trey said.
"Well let's sit down so I can explain some things then we will go to bed. We have to get up early." Uncle Scott said.
We all took seats, and I ended up sitting next to Uncle Scott and Dad.
"First when your mom died the whole family was forced to changer our last name to Stevens. And so did I because I was an Aour, but I changed it back and faked my death," said Uncle Scott.
"Why did it have to be so horrible?" I asked.
"Well, I was really wacky and when I went to Hogwarts my parents said I went to some random school. It had to be something that happens."
"Oh."
"Are you ready to meet the real you? We had to change your appearance so you looked like the family," asked Dad. He said a couple of spells and I had grown as tall as Marie, then he said, "Go look in the mirror."
I went to the bathroom and when I turned on the light I wasn't looking at a short brown hair and eyed hair. But I saw a semi-tall girl with long auburn hair and green eyes. I smiled.
I went back to the room and said, "I love it!"
"Good!" Dad replied, "You look like your mother."
I smiled.
"And at Hogwarts I am Professor Scott. But you may call me Uncle Scott there, also," Uncle Scott informed me, and continued, "We should probably go to sleep after you get the right things in your trunk because we have to get your other supplies and make the 10:30 train to Hogwarts."
"Good night," I said and followed Matt in to our room followed by Madeleine and Kimi.
