Part 2

Chapter 3: The Year is Just Getting Started

July 10th, 2007,

"MEGAN!" Lily Potter screamed up the stairs.

"WHAT!" a voice called back down.

"THE MAIL'S HERE!"

"SO!"

"TO MISS. M. POTTER. SECOND BEDROOM TO THE RIGHT. POTTER MANOR. ARUNDEL." Lily read the envelope out loud.

An eleven year old Megan came bounding down the stairs scaring the house elves.

"Three...two…one" Lily counted as she held the letter out for her daughter.

"It's about time." She said grabbing the letter after her mother had said "one".

Dear Miss. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.

Yours sincerely,

Minerval McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

She quietly read the letter before,

"YEAH!"

"Dear. I think you're scaring the house elves." Her mother told her as the loud noise shocked Trixy..

"Sorry Trixy." She said to the house elf

"That is quiet alright Mistress Megan. Trixy had forgotten that was the same reaction Master James had when he got his letter." The house elf informed her young mistress.

"Why am I not surprised?" Lily sighed.

"I'm going to fire-call the rest of the guys." Megan told her mother as she ran out of the dinning area.

"She's growing up so fast." Lily said half to herself and half to the house elf.

"Oh yes Mistress Lily." Trixy agreed.

"Hey Vega! I got my letter finally." Megan said to her best friend.

"It's about time." Vega said from the fire. "Everyone knew you weren't a squib."

Megan laughed. Her mother had a picture of the result of her first magic trick.

Flashback

Adam Newton had just been born, so there was a huge reunion between the Marauders, Maraudettes, the Golden Trio and friends. Luckily, it was being held at the Potter's because there were so many people there. (Basically everyone who was in the waiting room and the delivery room for the twins

A six month old Megan was being held by Sirius as he talked to James on the couch.

"I can't wait for the baby to come." A very excited Sirius told his best friend.

"Are you going to name it after a star?" James asked.

"I'm not sure. Spica wants to so we can keep up our families' tradition. I don't care about my family" Sirius told him.

"But you're willing to go…with…" James started.

"Orange?" James finished

"Willing to go with Orange? What are you talking about?" Sirius asked him.

Sirius handed Megan to James and went over to the mirror on the mantle of the fireplace.

"AAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHH!"

Everyone came running to the living room where the scream originated. Harry and Ginny, who were, well, let's just say that if there weren't enough rooms, they'd be in a broom closet, were the first to arrive. When they saw what was wrong, they started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Lily asked coming in.

When she noticed Sirius' hair, she started laughing.

"What did you do?" Spica asked her husband as she entered.

"I didn't do anything." Sirius told her. "James and I were talking and all of a sudden my hair turned bright orange."

"The only thing out of the ordinary was Megan starring at…oh." James said as he began to realize what was going on.

Megan had been starring at Sirius' hair the whole time. As she did, it had changed to orange.

By that time everyone was downstairs laughing.

"It had to be Megan." Ron said.

"My baby did her first bit of magic." Lily cooed.

"What is it with you Potters and changing my hair color?" Sirius asked.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"Your first bit of magic," James told him, "Was turning Sirius' hair gray."

"He freaked out. Badly." Remus laughed.

End Flashback

"Are you going to go get your supplies?" Vega asked.

"Of course. How about you?" Vega had gotten her letter the day before.

"You bet. Mum's going to take me today."

"Maybe I can go with you guys. HEY MUM! CAN I GO WITH VEGA TO GET MY THINGS?" Megan asked her mother.

There was a pause as Lily debated with herself.

"SURE!" Lily finally screamed from the kitchen. "I'LL JOIN YOU GUYS IN A FEW MINUTES!"

"THANKS!"

In Diagon Alley,

"So Megan. You finally got your letter." Adam said to her.

"First to be born, yet last to get the letter." Colin teased.

"Shut up." Megan told him.

"Who knows what goes on in Dumbledore's head?" Vega added.

"Good point. I'm not even sure Harry even knows." Adam said to them.

"I don't think anyone will ever know." Colin said.

"So, where to first?" Megan asked Spica.

"Well…" Spica started.

"Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes!"the boys loudly suggested.

"Oh please no." Spica begged. "If we go there, then it will be our last stop."

"Aw man." The kids said downheartedly.

"First things first." Spica interrupted the mourning session. "School stuff."

"Well, let's go." Megan said leading the way.

Just like her father. Spica thought.

"Wow! Check it out! The Lightning Bolt!" Megan said looking into the Quidditch shop.

"I heard it's 10 times better than the Firebolt." Vega added.

"It's about time they came out with a new broom." Lily, who had joined them, said.

"This is the first new model since the Firebolt." Spica said.

"Hey Megan." Adam asked. "Doesn't Harry have a Firebolt?"

"Yeah. In fact, it's the prototype." She said with a smile.

"Think he's going to get a Lightning Bolt?" Colin asked.

"I don't think so." A voice said behind them. "When the Firebolt came out, he didn't even go and buy it. He said that he had a perfectly good broom. Too bad the Whomping Willow got to it."

The kids turned around and saw Ron.

"Hi Ron." They said.

"Hello Ron." Spica said to him. "How are you doing?"

"Fine. Sabrina and Hermione are here with me." Ron said.

"Did you help Harry pick out the book this year?" Lily asked smiling "I know he'd never pick that one on his own."

"No. To tell you the truth, even I don't know what he got." Ron grinned.

"There you are." A female voice said from the left.

The gang turned and saw a woman with brown hair and a young redheaded girl walking towards them.

"I should have known you'd be here." Hermione Gra…I mean Weasley said to her husband.

"Wow Mummy. Look at that broom." A four year old Sabrina said to her mother.

"I see it sweetheart. I take it you kids are here to get your supplies." Hermione said to the group.

"You bet." Colin told her.

"I'm assuming you all want Gryffindor." Ron said to the kids.

"Of course. If I get Slytherin, I'll die." Vega mentioned.

"Well, you shouldn't. All of your parents were in Gryffindor." Ron said to the kids.

Hermione nudged him.

"That doesn't necessarily mean they'll get in." Hermione said to him.

"That's right. Look at Sirius' family. And he was sorted into Gryffindor." Spica told him. "I'll always remember the day after."

Flashback

It was the first day of school. The Maraudettes had all become fast friends. However, the Marauders where still forming.

Remus was reading his DADA book while Peter was stuffing his face. John and James were talking about stuff they wanted to learn. Sirius was left all alone because he was a Black.

Just then, the post arrived. Many were either parcels for students who forgot something or letters from parents congratulating them on their house. However, one owl brought a scarlet red envelope. It dropped the envelope in front of Sirius. He cautiously opened it.

"SIRIUS ORION BLACK! HOW DARE YOU GET SORTED INTO GRYFFINDOR! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE BLACK FAMILY! YOU MARCH YOURSELF RIGHT UP TO THE HEADMASTER'S OFFICE AND DEMAND THAT YOU GET RESORTED!"

Everyone turned towards him to see his reaction. Sirius looked over to Dumbledore. It was like they were having a discussion with their eyes. Dumbledore seemed to ask if that was what he wanted.

Sirius shook his head no and went on eating ignoring the ranting and ravings of his mother as she continued about how muggleborns should not be accepted and that Gryffindors are blood traitors. James noticed this and seemed to be deep in thought. Then he smiled and turned to John.

"You know. Maybe Black won't be that bad." James said

"It's worth a shot." John told him.

James got up and started to walk towards Sirius, not knowing that this is to be the start of a great friendship.

"Welcome to Gryffindor." James said to Sirius. "I'm James Potter."

End Flashback.

"How come you and Dad never mention them?" Vega asked referring to her grandparents on his side

"Because he never agreed with their ideas." Spica told her. "I'll let your father tell you about your "dear" grandparents on his side of the family."

"Alright."

"Have you gotten your wands yet?" Hermione asked.

"Not yet. That's our next and last stop." Spica informed her.

"It's not our last. We're going to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes." Adam said.

"Oh yeah. How could we forget?" Lily said sarcastically.

"If you could pull one over on Harry, I will find a way to reward you." Ron said.

"Is he really that good?" Megan asked.

"Of course." Hermione said.

"Can we go see Uncle Harry?" Sabrina asked.

"Not now sweetheart." Ron said. He turned to the group, "She's only four years old and has a wonderful resume already. Mother graduated top of her class, father who is a pro quidditch player, godfather is the one and only, Harry Potter…"

"Ok Ron, we get it." Hermione said.

"Come on kids. Let's get your wands." Spica said.

At Ollivander's,

"Ah. Lily Potter and Spica Jenkins, I mean, Black. How very nice to see you two again. Willow and Maple both with Unicorn hair if I'm not mistaken." Mr. Ollivander said to the women.

"Hello Mr. Ollivander. You are correct." Spica said pulling out her wand.

"We still have them." Lily added.

"Ah. And it's still in perfect condition. Very nice. I take it you are supervising these children."

"Yes. These are Colin Lupin, Adam Newton, my own daughter, Vega Black, and Lily's daughter, Megan Potter. Kids, this is Mr. Ollivander." Spica introduced the kids.

"Ah yes. I remember all of your parents. And your brother, Miss. Potter."

Everyone was measured and fitted. Vega got a 10 inch Elm with Dragonheart string; Colin got an 11 ½ inch Oak with Phoenix feather; Adam got a 10 ½ inch Rowan with Unicorn hair.

It was finally Megan's turn. It seemed like she had tried ever single wand in the shop. Mr. Ollivander finally came across one that fitted Megan perfectly. It was an 11 inch Ash with a Phoenix feather.

"Very interesting." He said half to himself.

"What?" she asked.

"Well, I remember every single wand that I make and sell Miss. Potter, there was this one Phoenix. It had produced two feathers. I sold both wands before your birth. After I had sold the last one, the same phoenix produced one more feather. And that one is in your wand."

"So Megan's wand has two brother wands?" Spica asked.

"Yes. One was used for good, and the other was for evil. I believe we can expect great things from Miss. Potter."

(A/N: Ok. If you hadn't figured out the owners of the brother wands, then you need to brush up on your Harry Potter. Or at least wait for the chapter where she finds out)

0000

"I wonder who owns the brother wands." Colin said.

"I don't know. Mr. Ollivander refused to say." Megan told him.

"C'mon. Let's go see Fred and George." Adam said running to the joke shop.

"Maybe they'll tell us their secret." Vega said running after them.

At the joke shop,

"Welcome! Ah our four best customers." Fred said as he noticed the four kids.

"Hi Fred. Hi George." The kids said.

"Anything work yet?" George asked.

"Well, we managed to get Dad and Uncle John" Colin told them, "but we have yet to get Uncles James and Sirius."

"One day though." Vega said.

"Good luck." The twins said.

"So, know any good pranks to pull on the teachers?" Adam asked.

"Do we know any good pranks? Of course. However, there is one key item you need that is not for sell." George said.

"What?" the kids asked

"A map of the school" Fred answered

"C'mon guys. Your sister is my sister-in-law. We're practically family." Megan begged.

"That's not the reason it's not for sell." George told her.

"We don't own it anymore." Fred added

"WHAT!"

"We gave it to someone who swore us to secrecy a few years ago." George told the kids.

"C'mon guys." The kids begged.

"We don't dare cross him." The twins said with mock fear.

"At least tell us what house he was in." Adam said.

"Gryffindor." George said.

"Anything else?" Colin asked.

"We said too much already." The twins said.

The next morning at breakfast,

"Good morning sleepyheads." Vega said grinning like an idiot.

"What did you do now?" Adam asked.

"Nothing." Megan said with the same smile.

Just then, Harry came up to them trying to look annoyed.
