A/N- YAY!!!!!! Spring Break's here!!!!!! Even though it sorta doesn't look like spring at the moment... But never the less it's HERE!!!!! That's means no school (But WITH homework) for um like a week or something, I dunno. But here's the next chapter!!!
Chapter 6
Professor Dumbledore looked at the young woman in front of him. He was slightly shocked too se her look so different. Beside her he took in the young woman beside of his former student and former Head Girl. He found it oddly strange that the aura around her gave off a weird vibe for a muggle, strange indeed. He turned his eyes back to his former student and smiled joyfully at her. 'Indeed she has changed.' Dumbledore thought after receiving no smile back like she used to do. And her eyes... it was her eyes that made him stare at her. Once so sweet and humble, now dull and cold.
Kristi stared at the old man whose eyes were twinkling behind half moon speckles. She felt a bit nervous as he stared at her, wondering if all wizards and witches did that when they saw a muggle. She shifted the weight of her bag off her shoulder and switched form one foot to another. She felt relieved when his gaze left her.
Ren watched Dumbledore stare at Kristi, knowing her best friend would become either annoyed or unnerved. By his penetrating stare. She met his eyes when he looked back to her. They were still happy and joyful. She did not return his smile, only continued to stare at him. As he stared at her, she felt as if he could see right through her; know everything that went on inside her head.
"Ms. Evans I was wondering when you would get here." Dumbledore said merrily walking toward his desk. He felt Ren's eyes follow him as he seated himself in his chair. "I assume this is your friend?" He asked, merry eyes looking at Kristi who smiled softly.
"This is Kristi Jefferson." Ren introduced.
"Ah Ms. Jefferson-"
"It's Kristi, just Kristi please." She interrupted.
Dumbledore smiled at the Latino girl. "It's a pleasure to meet you Kristi."
"Yup same here Mr. D." Kristi said. Dumbledore chuckled at the girl and her name for him. "Nice crib ya got here Mr. D." She told him looking around his office.
Dumbledore smiled and glanced at Ren who was smirking and shrugged her shoulders. "Thank you." He told Kristi.
"I'd hate to interrupt and all, but can we get down to the important issues please?" Ren asked impatiently.
"Ah yes, always on task still I see." Kristi snorted at that and got a playful glare from Ren. She shrugged sheepishly and sat down in a chair, Ren doing the same.
"So has this reunion thing started already?" Ren asked, pushing a piece of stray hair behind her ear.
Dumbledore folded his hands together and sat them on top of the desk. "It hasn't officially began yet... If you remember correctly in the letter you was sent it said that it would not start until the 28th. Today is the 27th." He explained to her.
Ren nodded her head. "So who exactly is already here that's from my year?" Ren asked curiously.
Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at her. "All of the students from your year arrived through the 21st through the 26th, with the exception of Mr. Potter and Mr. Black who arrived early this morning making a great scene." He explained his eyes twinkling behind his glasses.
Ren's eyes flickered for a second before going back to looking dull. "Figures they would do something like that." She said bitterly, her sudden hate fore Potter and his group coming back slowly.
Dumbledore chuckled. "Yes, I can hardly wait until the Welcoming feast tonight." He told her.
Ren smirked. "Yes I wonder what kind of idiotic thing they'll do tonight." She said half to herself and half to Kristi. Kristi raised her eyebrow at that, but didn't comment on it. She would ask later, for now she was just going to listen.
Dumbledore obviously choose to ignore the comment or just didn't say anything. 'Indeed Ms. Evans has changed.' He thought to himself.
"So Professor exactly where will we be staying for the month we are to stay here?" Ren asked, still hiding her accent, even though it was getting harder and harder from being around so many Britain's.
Dumbledore chuckled slightly. "Dear child I am hardly your Professor anymore." He her.
Ren smirked. "And I am hardly a child."
Dumbledore ran his hand over his chin and chuckled some more. "That you aren't." He mumbled before clearing his throat and getting to business. "I have arranged a chamber for you and your year to stay in. The chamber will be divided into four parts, one for Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff." He explained. "During meal times you will go down to the Great Hall and eat at your respectable tables."
"The tables? Are you sure they're big enough?" Ren questioned.
Dumbledore smiled at her. "There is more then enough room." He said simple, and Ren nodded her head. During the day you are free to roam around the castle, go to Hogsmead and enjoy the activities we will have." He explained to her. A look of complete confusion crossed Kristi's face when he mentioned Hogsmead. 'I'll have to ask Ren about it.' She thought to herself.
"What about the Slytherins?" Ren asked and glanced at Kristi briefly before looking back at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore seemed to understand what she meant and sighed. "I will warn them not to try anything, and if they do..." He trailed and Ren nodded.
"Now I assume you will want to freshen up for the feast tonight?" He asked them and got a nod in reply. "Then I will led you to your chamber and announce your arrival." He told her and stood up, Ren and Kristi also stood up.
"Actually I would prefer if we kept my arrival between us." Ren told him.
Dumbledore looked at her. He knew she was up to something he just didn't know what. "Of course. Planning to surprise them I take it?" he asked her.
Ren smirked quite deviously. "Something like that." She told him. Dumbledore nodded and didn't ask further questions
"Follow me then." He said leading them out. "And do not worry about running into any of them. They are all out to Hogsmead considering they have an hour in a half before dinner." He told leading them deep into the castle.
(A couple of minutes later)
Kristi was in awe as she walked through the halls of Hogwarts. Never in her whole life had she ever seen or dreamed of something this beautiful and magnificent. She was able to take all of it in, because Ren kept talking to her, making her have to pay attention to her best friend. Finally after many flights of steps they rounded a corner and came to a dead end. A portrait of a beautiful red phoenix surrounded by a lush garden hung on the wall. Kristi looked at the portrait and instantly fell in love with it. She was big fan of art.
"Wow." Kristi whispered. Ren glanced at her friend and raised an eyebrow at her.
"What's the pass word?" Ren asked.
"Password? We get a password? That's so friggin neat!" Kristi exclaimed.
Dumbledore chuckled and Ren rolled her eyes good naturally at her. "Yes Kristi we get a password. How else do you think we get privacy so no one else can get into our common rooms?" She asked. Kristi shrugged.
"The password is Eden." He told them, and the portrait swung open to reveal a massive room with couches and chairs and a huge fireplace in the middle of it.
Ren and Kristi followed Dumbledore in and looked around the room in amazement. Ren had forgotten how beautiful the castle was and was shock. "Ren you're going back home alone, cuz I'm staying here." Kristi joked.
"I take it you like it then?" He asked, his eyes twinkling as brightly as ever.
"Like it? We love it." Ren answered for them, and then mentally kicked herself for her outburst. "So uh exactly where are the Gryffindor Corridors located at?" She asked, her green eyes taking in the whole room.
There was a staircase leading downward, away from the common room. She felt a bad vibe coming from it and could only guess that was the Slytherins corridors. On the other side of the room was another staircase that led downward, she guess maybe it was either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. There was two staircases leading up on opposites sides of the room, she guess one was Gryffindor's. The common room had four draperies hanging from the ceiling bearing the four houses crest.
"The staircase going upward on the left is where the Gryffindor's will be staying. The staircase on the right is Ravenclaw's and-"
"I get it." Ren interrupted. "So exactly what should I expect at the fest tonight?" She asked shifting sitting on stuff on the floor.
Dumbledore smiled at her. "Ah you shall see." He told her as he headed for the entrance/exit. "I shall see you then." He said and opened the portrait before stopping and turning back to them. "Could I ask you to please wear the proper attire when you go down to the feast." He asked them.
Ren raised an eyebrow. "Yes Professor, we will." She assured him.
Dumbledore smiled and nodded his head. "See you then Ms. Evans."
"Professor." She called after him. He turned to look at her. "It's Ren O'Neill now."
"Of course... Ms. O'Neill." He told her. The name sounding foreign even to her own ears when he said it. She watched as the portrait closed leaving them alone, the only sound coming from the fire as he crackled and blazed.
"What's the proper attire?" Kristi asked breaking the silence.
Ren glanced at her and smirked. "Robes my dear." She said and Kristi's eyes opened wide.
"You're kidding!" She exclaimed. "But I had the perfect outfit to wear!"
"Ok Kristi your sounding like one of the dumb blondes I used to know." Ren said. "Besides you can still wear it, you just have to wear robes over top of it." Ren explained as she grabbed her bags and headed for the Gryffindor corridors. Kristi followed behind her in silence contemplating the idea of wearing robes. When they got to the top of the staircase they stopped, they saw a long corridor with no doors or anything. Ren raised an eyebrow and glanced back at Kristi who looked even more confused then she felt.
"Ren shouldn't there be doors or something?" Kristi asked.
Ren frowned slightly. "Well yeah, unless of course they just plan on having us all sleep in the hall." Ren said.
Kristi nodded her head. "Then where are the doors?" Kristi questioned.
Ren rolled her eyes. "Kristi if I knew that then why would I be standing here instead of putting my things away?" Ren asked her.
Kristi grinned. "Because you're a moron." She said. Ren glared at her and Kristi laughed.
"Come on, maybe they're further on down the hall." Ren said and walked forward and disappeared. Kristi gasped and her eyes opened wide.
"Um R-Ren?" Kristi called out. Ren suddenly appeared in front of her, making her squeak in shock. "Don't do that!" She exclaimed. Ren smirked at her best friend.
"Come on just walk forward." Ren said and disappeared again. Kristi swallowed hard and followed Ren's example. A weird feeling passed through her body as she emerged in front of Ren. Kristi gaped at the room in front of her.
"How?"
Ren shrugged. "My guess is that Dumbledore got's it rigged where each house has its own room, and when the walk down their corridors they can only get in, no one else." She explained. Kristi gave her a confused look and Ren rolled her eyes.
"Yea ok whatever." Kristi replied and looked around the red and gold common room that was smaller then the main one. There were two small staircases that led upward one holding the guy's room and the other the girl's room. A comfy fire blazed in the fireplace giving the room a comfortable warmth to it. "So if he did this, why not give each house their own place?" Kristi asked as she followed Ren up one of the small staircases, if you could consider it a staircase.
Ren shrugged as she opened the girl's dormitory room and walked in. "Ya got me... That man was always a little off." She said. "But a good kind of off I guess." She mumbled as she spotted her and Kristi's bed at the end of the room. They weren't hard to find considering their beds were the only ones the looked untouched and had no trunk or anything in front of it.
"Which bed is mine?" Kristi asked.
Ren shrugged. "You can choose between those too." She said pointing to the furthest beds. Kristi nodded and picked the one the furthest away from everyone.
"So exactly what robes am I wearing?" Kristi asked.
Ren shrugged. "Any of the ones you, or rather I bought when we were at Diagon Alley." She asked. Kristi nodded. "Well you wear one of those." Ren told her sitting her stuff beside of the bed on the floor.
"Which one are you going to wear?" Kristi asked laying down on her four-poster bed.
"The black ones." She answered simple.
Kristi nodded. "I'm thinking about wearing the sapphire blue ones." She answered.
Ren looked at her for a moment before nodding her head. "Those would look nice on you." She mumbled.
Kristi nodded her head and grinned. "I know." She was silent for a few moment just relishing the comfort of the bed beneath her. "Or I could just do what our doing and wear all black."
Ren shrugged. "What ever floats your socks." Ren said and Kristi snorted.
"We should get ready for the feast." Kristi said getting up off the bed and heading for the bathroom.
Ren rolled her eyes. "Kristi it doesn't start for like another hour." She complained.
Kristi rolled her eyes. "Ren honey, if you want to keep your arrival a secret you might wanna get dressed now so you can get out of the common room as soon as possible." Kristi reminded her. "Now get off your lazy ass and get ready."
"Yes mother!" Ren mocked saluted at her, but got up and began to get ready anyways.
(Thirty minutes later)
Ren and Kristi talked quietly as she showed Kristi around. Kristi had finally gone with the blue robes, deciding she wanted to be different and stand out. Both Ren and Kristi had left their hair down, letting it flare out at the bottom. Ren wore a darker coating of eyeliner then Kristi, while Kristi wore more lip-gloss. Neither girl to walk properly in the robes at first, both tripping over the hems, finally Ren got the hang of it again and soon after so did Kristi.
Suddenly Ren pulled Kristi behind one of the statues. Kristi gave her a puzzled look before hearing the sound of many people talking. She peered slightly out from behind the statue and watched as a bunch of young adult past, each laughing and talking with someone. Ren's glare intensified when she saw three girls that she knew quite well, all looking the same if not taller. Crystal Johnson, Kayla Wonder, and Lisa Brown. It took all she had to not go and curse the life out of every single one of them. Behind them she saw the group of men that had also made her life hell, nothing had changed about them. They still had that cocky composure and aura to them and it made her blood boil. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.
When all were gone Kristi and Ren got out from behind the statue, Ren looking at the corner that they had all disappeared behind. She clenched and unclenched her fist as she narrowed her eyes at where they all used to be. She finally turned swiftly on her heel and continued down the hallway, Kristi followed behind her.
"Was that them?" Kristi asked.
"Yes." Ren answered.
"Where are we going?" Kristi questioned.
Ren didn't even glance at her as she turned another corner. "Library. No one should be in there at the moment. The children are still having class and the librarian is never there at this time." Ren told her as she opened a door and walked in. Kristi followed her in and looked at the library around them, it was bigger then the one at home. Books were everywhere Kristi was once again amazed. Kristi followed Ren over to a corner where a book lay in front of her. She sat down on the other side and raised an eyebrow.
"What're you reading?" Kristi asked.
Ren shrugged. "Dunno, just picked it out." She told her. Ren reached out to one of the bookcases and grabbed a book and tossed it to Kristi. "Here you might find that interesting." She said. Kristi nodded and opened the book.
(Some time later)
"We're two minutes late!" Kristi exclaimed as they hurried to the Great Hall.
Ren glanced back at her. "Good." She stated simply. "That ought to give Potter enough time to pull whatever idiotic thing he has decided to do." She said bitterly.
Kristi rolled her eyes. "But Ren! You don't want to be late! What if Mr. D is giving announcements?" Kristi asked as she followed Ren down a flight of stairs.
Ren rolled her eyes. "Then we'll miss the friggin announcements!" Ren exclaimed as she came to a dead halt in front of two large doors in the main entrance hall.
"We're finally here?" Kristi asked.
Ren sighed. "Yup." She heard an uproar of laughter coming from the Great Hall, and many thank you's coming from four boys. She glanced at Kristi who raised an eyebrow. "Potter." She ground out and she and Kristi slipped into the Great Hall silently. Everyone was so caught up on Potter and his little group and the brilliant prank they had just pulled they didn't even notice the two girls watching the whole scene. Ren's face was masked of all emotion, while Kristi was one of slight amazement. 'Time to make my self known.' She took a deep breath tilted her chin up confidently before making her and Kristi known.
"Well Potter I should have known you of all people wouldn't have changed. You're still the arrogant, egoistic immature basterd that you always were. Honestly would it have killed you to have matured just a little?" She asked, her voice cold and hard with malice dripping from each word, and evil smirk plastered on her delicate lips.
All eyes turned to her, all noise was gone, and everything was quiet. Shock evident on everyone's faces, especially James Potter's. No one said a word, no one did anything. James looked Ren over, not quite sure who she was, but having a small idea.
"Everyone may I have your attention please." Dumbledore called out drawing everyone's attention back to him. He smiled at them all and then glanced at Ren whose expression hadn't changed, Kristi was beside of her smirking also, just less evilly. "I would like to introduce everyone to the former head girl... Ms. Lily Evans."
Gasp could be heard form everywhere in the Great Hall, from the adults who were there for their five-year reunion. Their eyes were wide and their mouths agape, shocked to see Lily Evans there, and let alone looking like that, even the teachers were shocked.
James was the first to find his voice. "Evans?"

Kristi nodded her head and grinned. "I know." She was silent for a few moment just relishing the comfort of the bed beneath her. "Or I could just do what our doing and wear all black."

"Was that them?" Kristi asked.
"Yes." Ren answered.
"Where are we going?" Kristi questioned.
Ren didn't even glance at her as she turned another corner. "Library. No one should be in there at the moment. The children are still having class and the librarian is never there at this time." Ren told her as she opened a door and walked in. Kristi followed her in and looked at the library around them, it was bigger then the one at home. Books were everywhere Kristi was once again amazed. Kristi followed Ren over to a corner where a book lay in front of her. She sat down on the other side and raised an eyebrow.
"What're you reading?" Kristi asked.
Ren shrugged. "Dunno, just picked it out." She told her. Ren reached out to one of the bookcases and grabbed a book and tossed it to Kristi. "Here you might find that interesting." She said. Kristi nodded and opened the book.
(Some time later)
"We're two minutes late!" Kristi exclaimed as they hurried to the Great Hall.
Ren glanced back at her. "Good." She stated simply. "That ought to give Potter enough time to pull whatever idiotic thing he has decided to do." She said bitterly.
Kristi rolled her eyes. "But Ren! You don't want to be late! What if Mr. D is giving announcements?" Kristi asked as she followed Ren down a flight of stairs.
Ren rolled her eyes. "Then we'll miss the friggin announcements!" Ren exclaimed as she came to a dead halt in front of two large doors in the main entrance hall.
"We're finally here?" Kristi asked.
Ren sighed. "Yup." She heard an uproar of laughter coming from the Great Hall, and many thank you's coming from four boys. She glanced at Kristi who raised an eyebrow. "Potter." She ground out and she and Kristi slipped into the Great Hall silently. Everyone was so caught up on Potter and his little group and the brilliant prank they had just pulled they didn't even notice the two girls watching the whole scene. Ren's face was masked of all emotion, while Kristi was one of slight amazement. 'Time to make my self known.' She took a deep breath tilted her chin up confidently before making her and Kristi known.
"Well Potter I should have known you of all people wouldn't have changed. You're still the arrogant, egoistic immature basterd that you always were. Honestly would it have killed you to have matured just a little?" She asked, her voice cold and hard with malice dripping from each word, and evil smirk plastered on her delicate lips.
All eyes turned to her, all noise was gone, and everything was quiet. Shock evident on everyone's faces, especially James Potter's. No one said a word, no one did anything. James looked Ren over, not quite sure who she was, but having a small idea.
"Everyone may I have your attention please." Dumbledore called out drawing everyone's attention back to him. He smiled at them all and then glanced at Ren whose expression hadn't changed, Kristi was beside of her smirking also, just less evilly. "I would like to introduce everyone to the former head girl... Ms. Lily Evans."
Gasp could be heard form everywhere in the Great Hall, from the adults who were there for their five-year reunion. Their eyes were wide and their mouths agape, shocked to see Lily Evans there, and let alone looking like that, even the teachers were shocked.
James was the first to find his voice. "Evans?"
