Harry, I know it's not my place but why were you in a cupboard?"
"I was kept there till I got my letter. Then they moved me in my cousin's second bedroom. Most likely so they wouldn't find me to give me another letter, but it didn't work. I got thousands of letters, the whole house filled with them. It was brilliant." Harry replied with a smile.
Emma laughed and they went their separate way to their dorms. It was late, but Julia was still up.
"Julia, you're still up!" It wasn't a question.
"Yeah, so did you satisfy your curiosity? What did you find out?"
Chapter 12: Minor Hogsmeed Mayhem
Emma does a little fake sigh before sitting down beside her sister, "nothing much sis,' she starts, 'just he's got to many bad memories to really concentrate on one thing. This could take a while."
Julia smiles evilly at her sister, "that's what you want isn't it sis, spend lot so of time in Harry's head, so it seems like you have known him forever." She says.
"What? Of course not sis,' Emma says trying to hind her face from her sister, 'why would I do that?"
"What ever you say sis,' Julia says 'but you know Halloween is coming fast and we need to get that blood and hair from Harry.
"I'm still trying to figure out if I want to do that Jules, he is my friend, what happens if he wakes up to see us there? It could get ugly; I don't think we want to get on Harry's bad side." Emma answers playing with her hands nervously.
"Em, I'm already on the "Famous Trio's bad side, I have been since the beginning, there is not farther I can go. Everyone has been talking about me hanging with Draco, and Hermione has already tried to take my head off with a book." Julia said rolling her eyes.
"So you have to stop doing what you are doing sis, try to talk to them and hang out with them, not be alone in the shadows. I think they are asking questions about you being the one Voldemort talked about." Emma replies.
"Em, I don't care if they think I am, I've never cared, you see the way I dress and how mom, dad, and even Uncle Lucious look at my clothes. I am my own person and I like it that way. It's who I am." Julia says.
"And that's why Draco likes you so, right? Emma asks eyeing her sister evilly.
Julia tilts her head forward letting her black, red and navy blue hair cover her face to hind the color in her cheeks, "what ever you say sis, you know me and Draco are just friends. But I'm now going to bed, to get away from you for a bit and we have to get up early to go to Hogsmeed's in the morning." Julia answers.
All the girls in the dome get up with the sun, all excited about the trip that day. They were all pulling out their ordinary clothing to put on for the trip. Most of the girls had already dressed and were heading down to the common room as Julia sat down to put on her makeup. Today she had a black v neck on with a black skirt, black knee high tie up boots with a 4 inch heel sat beside the bed. Julia sat putting on black eye liner then black and navy blue eye shadow.
"Are you ready yet sis,' Emma asks walking over to her sister's bed, 'almost everyone is outside.
Julia puts away her make up and swings her feet over the side of the bed to put the shoes on, she looks up at her sister through her hair, 'yeah, sis hold on." She replies looking at what her sister is wearing.
Today Emma hand on a her black low cut bell bottom slacks, she has a light purple spaghetti strap shirt with a pure white long sleeve button up shirt hanging open.
Julia finishes tying her shoes and gets up; as she does she picks up a little black purse that goes well with the outfits, a little green and silver snake hanging from it out of sight of most people. "Ok let's go," she says.
"About time, you take way to long, its not like you are going to be handing out with Draco all day. Oh by the way, I told the trio we would hang with them at Hogsmeed today." She says quickly heading for the door.
Julia Crabs her arm pulling her back, "what was that, you know I planed to hang around by myself?" She asks.
"the trio wants to get to know you, so I said we would spend the day with them,' Emma starts, 'maybe you can get them off your case about the whole Voldemort thing." She tries to reason with Julia.
"Em you know as well as I do, that I don't care if the trio suspects me. We had this talk yesterday, I don't care what people think. And I don't want to spend the day with them." Julia replies
"Too late sis, you don't want to break a promise do you Julia? I know how you feel about breaking them." Emma says giving her sis one of her insist looks.
Julia rolls her eyes, 'ok ok, but you owe me now, big time." She says.
Emma smiles evilly and heads to the stairs with her sister trailing behind her, she hoped her plan works and the trio and her sister finally get along. Then maybe she could get her sis to forget about this thing for their father and Lucious. She really didn't want to hurt Harry and her other friends, but Draco and Julia seemed to think there was no way not to do this. She was mad at her father and Lucious for even thing of hurting Harry, yeah so Lucious was a Deatheater; it didn't mean he still worked for Voldemort.
As the sister entered the common room the trio was sitting on a couch waiting for them. Hermione had on a pair of blue jeans and a white sweater, Ron on the other hand had on one of the famous Weasley red sweaters and a pair of blue jeans as well. Emma noticed right away, before all the rest that he wore his favorite dark blue jeans and a black sweater with the "Evanescence" logo on it. "Here we are guys, Julia some times take a while to get ready!" Emma calls out.
The trio looks up as Emma speaks and they try not to stare at Julia standing there in all black. Julia notices them looking at her clothes and giggles quietly to herself and tries to keep a big smile off her face.
Harry speaks trying to break the silence, "Ok let's head down and join the others, its almost time to leave." He says standing up and making a gesture towards the portrait.
Hermione and Ron get up from the couch and walk with the sisters toward the portrait and the all head out to the courtyard. Professor McGonigal was standing there explaining the rules, then turn to lead the students out of the courtyard to Hogsmeed.
Walking down the streets of Hogsmeed the trio was trying to get Julia into the conversation but she would just answer with one word answers and that was it.
"So I guess that asking you to stay away from Draco a while back did no good, since your family's know each other!" Harry tries again to get Julia to talk.
Julia looks over at him for a moment before turning her gaze back to the brick road. "Who told you we knew the Malfoy's?" She asks.
"Umm no one, it's just something I heard!" Harry stammers.
"Harry says he saw you and Draco together the other day, he asked me if we knew the Malfoy's and I said we did." Emma replies.
Julia stays quiet for a moment trying to keep from yelling at Harry, so he is spying on me, figures "yeah, we have known the Malfoy's for as long as I can remember our parents maybe longer." She says.
"Malfoy's father is said to be up to lots of not so nice things, do you think that your parents might be up to something too." Hermione asks.
"We don't really know what our father does,' Emma answers quickly, 'all we know is that it's the reason that we are going to Hogwarts this year."
"So you have no idea, I mean you haven't noticed him acting weirdly or anything." Ron asks
"We promised our mother that we wouldn't ask questions about what our father does, and we plan to keep that promise." Julia snares.
"Even if he is a deatheater or anything, you don't want to know?" Harry asks.
"Well, even though we went to Drumstag……" Emma starts.
"We don't want to know," Julia cuts her sister off in mid sentence.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here; Harry Potter and his marry men." A voice calls out from behind them.
The group turns to see Malfoy, Crab and Goyle walking up behind them, eating some candy.
"Malfoy we we're not going to fight with you!" Harry says.
"Aww, your not being very nice to a fellow student there Potter,' Malfoy snare, 'but I guess I have been causing you three a lot of trouble."
"Just leave us alone Malfoy!" Ron says.
"Oh is little weasel trying to be brave in front of his little girly whirly!" Malfoy snares causing Crab and Goyle to laugh.
Ron takes a step towards Malfoy but doesn't get any farther because Hermione Crabs his arm "Ron he's not worth it!" She whispers in his ear.
Malfoy, Crab and Goyle start to chuckle at this sight, "letting a girl fight your fights now weasel?" Malfoy snares.
"Just leave us alone for once Malfoy!" Harry asks.
"Aww Mister Potter is trying to be so polite, and thinks that we are rude." Malfoy says to Crab and Goyle.
Both Crab and Goyle put a shocked look on their faces, "who us? Never!" They say.
Julia is standing back a bit from the group she was with and closer to Draco then the others, with her arms crossed and leather wrist cuffs touching, trying to keep a smile off her face, while her sister tries to help.
"Come on Draco, leave us be, we are just trying to have a little rest from school!" she says.
"oh that's right,' Draco says having looked at Emma while she had been speaking but now turns his attention back to Harry 'its so hard for these three, being so famous and all!"
Hermione had been trying to stay calm through this whole thing but as it kept going on she was getting kind of angry 'he is not saying anything about Emma or Julia, its all about me, Harry and Ron, I guess that just means they really know each other.
"Malfoy come on, this is supposed to be a fun outing." Hermione says.
"So the little mudblood wants to get into this now, this should be fun!" Malfoy Snares.
"Malfoy just drop it already, this is getting old!" Hermione yells.
"But why it's so fun!" Malfoy snares with Crab and Goyle laughing beside him.
Hermione had been turning away from Malfoy but turned back quickly to hit him but he ducks. Julia who had been looking through her purse at that moment didn't look up until to late and Hermione punched her in the face. She drops her purse as she hands go up to her face to cover her left eye.
"What are you doing, Hermione?" Julia screams. Her eye is bruising and her nose is bleeding a bit.
Hermione's hand up to cover her mouth as Emma and Harry run to Julia's side, "Sis are you alright?" Emma asks.
Julia was waving away Harry's help, looking around for her purse, "Do I look alright sis, I'm going to look for some ice." She says picking up her purse and turning to walks away.
Crab and Goyle were laughing as she walks by but Draco hits them to get them to stop. As Julia walks passed Malfoy, he can hear her grumbling to herself. Something catches his eye as he turns back to the group and quickly picks it up. Both groups just separate at this point and walk away.
Julia walks around a corner and snapped back with a snap sound echoing in her head to the girls dome at Hogwarts and onto her bed. As she puts her purse down she notices that she's missing her necklace. "Great" she mumbles to herself.
The others girls return to find her back in her school uniform and lying on a couch in the common room with a ice pack and her school books. The trio and her sister hurry over to her as the notices were she is.
"I'm really sorry Julia, I didn't mean to do this,' Hermione starts, 'Malfoy was just picking a fight on us again."
Julia not even looking up from her books as she answers, "Don't Hermione, I hate to say it but you seem to get mad a little easy this year." Julia says.
"You don't know what's been going on the last couple of years with us and Malfoy. Though he is not the only problem we have had to face." Hermione says.
Julia sighs but still doesn't look up, "Yea, Yea, Draco, Voldemort, Serious Black, school work, right." Julia snares.
"You're almost as bad as he is, as far as I can tell." Hermione states with a hint of a snarl.
Julia sighs again setting her books aside and getting off the couch, they could see now that she had covered the bruise on her eye with some makeup,
"When you grow up with someone like Draco and the Malfoy's, you sometimes end up acting like them. And to tell you the truth, I like the way I act,' she turns to walk out of the common room, and as she walks past Emma she whispers 'I tried."
The trio watches her leave and turns to Emma with questioning looks but all she does is shrug.
Julia walks along the halls of Hogwarts before heading outside to get some air. As she walks outside she walks to the forbidden forest and sits down against one of the trees. She sits with her head on her arms which are on her knees.
"I'm sorry I moved,' a voice called out; 'I should have taken the bit."
Julia smiles slightly as she raises her head a little, "I never thought you would be afraid of the Mudblood." She replies.
"I'm not afraid of her, just her fists, you know I'm not much of a fighter, I'm more about saying mean things!" Draco says.
"True, true, and you know that's the same for me,' Julia says standing up. 'But who can stop from wanting to fight when the Trio is around."
"So now you know what I've been talking about in the summer,' Draco says chuckling, 'and you will have things to complain about this Christmas."
Julia chuckles and then sighs, "I don't know if we will have a happy Christmas this year,' she starts 'Emma is still trying to get out of getting the stuff from Harry."
Draco shakes his head, "I thought we explained this to her, you said this seemed important to my father!" He says
"It did but she doesn't seem to get that into her head, so I'm worried about mom, dad and Lucious. What if something happens to them?" Julia replies.
"Nothing is going to happen to them, you can do it yourself if you have to Jules!" Draco says.
Julia nods but still looks worried, "yeah but I think I will talk to uncle to have him talk to her. He could hopefully change her mind." Julia replies.
"Good idea,' Draco says 'oh wait, your necklace clasp broke when your purse fell earlier, I sent it to dad to get it fixed."
"that's were it went,' Julia says, 'I thought I lost it."
"I know you didn't do it on purpose!" Draco says.
Julia smiles at him, "thanks Hun, I need to get back inside, I got a bit of a headache from the hit. Bye Hun!" she says before snapping back to the castle.
"Bye Jules" Draco calls.
