A/N: Okay here is chap 2. Thanks so much to gazette, my only reviewer but since I only posted last night I guess that's not too bad. Okay here's the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, I do however own the plot, Nat, Erin, Christine, Emily, Eliza-May, Holcraft School for wizardry and anything else you don't recognise.

Chapter two-Arrival

Christine felt her feet slam to the ground and her legs buckle beneath her. She collapsed to the ground and soon felt the pain of six people and seven trunks landing on top of her. Apparently, none of her friends were fantastic at travelling by portkey either. She let out a muffled cry. 'What the hell are you waiting for? Get off me!'

'Sorry Chris,' Lily Replied from somewhere above her, 'but I can't move until Sirius gets his fat arse off me!'

'Hey! My arse isn't fat! And as much as I enjoy having you on top of me, Erin, could you please move?'

Once the seven friends were completely untangled from each other, they looked around at their surroundings. They were in what appeared to be a cramped garden shed. There were shelves full of things like buckets of paint and gardening tools and there were several bags of plant fertiliser stacked in the corner.

'They're not expecting us to live here, are they?' muttered Sirius, a look of complete disgust on his face. No sooner had he said this, the shed door slid open to reveal a young woman standing there. She was an average height with messy brown hair tied back in a ponytail. She had blue eyes and couldn't be much older than the Hogwarts students, themselves. She smiled at them. 'You must be the Hogwarts kids. I'm Nat.' She extended her hand to the nearest person, who happened to be Sirius, who instead of shaking her hand, kissed it.

'Sirius Black, My Darling.' He said with the charming smile that usually made girls weak at the knees. Nat smirked.

'Ah yes, Young master Black. I've heard an awful lot about you.' She said in a fake British accent.

Once all the introductions were over, Nat lead the friends out of the shed. James realised two things at once. One, the house they were to be staying in was and extravagant mansion, and two, the weather conditions in Australia were very different to England. 'Bloody Hell!' He exclaimed, 'Do you people live in an oven or something?' The looks on the others faces told him they were having similar thoughts.

Nat looked slightly amused by the looks on their faces. 'Today isn't actually that hot, it can get a lot hotter, and seeing as it's only early morning, you Poms will probably die of heatstroke by midday!' She laughed at the looks on their faces.

'Come on up to the house. I'll introduce you to my family, make you some breakfast and show you to your rooms.' The marauders turned their attention back towards the enormous house before them as Nat lead them up the path to the front door. She pushed open the front door and led them all into what appeared to be a sort of Entrance hall. The walls were a pale, creamy colour and were decorated with paintings, portraits and antique clocks. There was a stiff looking lounge up against one wall and an extravagant fountain in the corner. Sirius let out a low whistle of appreciation. 'Wow. I never knew muggles were so loaded!' Nat looked surprised.

'Oh I'm not a muggle. I'm a witch. I went to Holcraft academy for wizardry here in Australia.'

'But McGonagall said we were living in a muggle neighbourhood.' Remarked Erin, flicking her dark hair out of her face.

'This is a muggle neighbourhood, but that doesn't mean only muggles live in it.'

At that exact moment, a small child ran into the room, her reddish-blonde curls bouncing everywhere. 'AUNTY NATTY!' she shrieked and clung onto Nat's leg, hiding behind it. 'Eliza tried to put a worm in my hair! And she said she's gonna do it again!'

'Hey, it's okay, sweetie, I'll have a talk to her. Guys, this is my niece Emily. She and her sister Eliza-May, my brother's kids, are staying here whilst their parents are overseas. Em, these are some new friends of Aunty Natty's who are going to be staying here for a while.'

'Hey cutie,' said Remus, crouching down beside the child, 'How old are you.'

Emily grinned. 'I'm this many!' She said, holding up four fingers.

'Aunty Nat! Have you seen Emily? I need to- Oh G'day.' Another child emerged around the corner. This one looked about eight years old. She had straight, red hair and blue eyes.

'Guys, meet my other niece, Eliza-May. Liza, these are the friends I told you were coming to stay. This is Erin, Lily, Sirius, James, Peter, Christine and Remus. Now what's this I hear about you trying to put worms in your sisters hair?'

Eliza smiled an evil grin that was identical to the one they had all seen on Sirius so many times before.

'I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, and you can't prove anything.' She smirked and Sirius looked like his wildest dreams had come true. He swooped down and picked the child up in his arms. 'I think you and me are going to get along great.'

A/N: So what did you think of chapter two? Please read, review and give me some CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. I'll update as soon as I get some reviews. I'm on holidays with plenty of time on my hands so that's a promise.

Ttfn,
