Hello again, this chapter isn't that long. Thank you so much for your reviews, it means the world to me. It also made me get off my lazy butt to write another chapter, I didn't want to let you down.

"The sun is rising, birds are singing and I am bored. What to do" Belle lies on her belly leaning her chin on her hand, and a mischief smile her family fears makes its way onto her face.

The day is the 1st September, the day Lily and her are going to leave to Hogwarts and she spent the whole night tossing and turning, worrying about not fitting in and be too excited about the whole thing to really sleep. Lil didn't help either, she kept talking to her all knight about how she was. So Belle finally gave in when she checked the time is 6, she got some sleep at least.

Belle tip-toes into her parent's room, a pillow in her hand and a mischief smile on her face. Her parents have been really weird lately, last night they had Lily's favourite dinner roast lamb, and Belle's favourite dessert chocolate pudding. Mrs Evans also has been bothering Belle about wearing dresses less lately, she would always steal glances at the twins before quickly looking away. Mr Evans never gave the girls space; he always hung around them telling the twins about great schools in London they could attend. Petunia has actually been letting Belle win their arguments and she has not said one nasty comment about Severus to the twin's surprise. Severus came over asking for them the other day, and Petunia told him the park instead of 'get lost you big nosed greasy loser' like she normally does, she even hung out with the trio ALL day without saying one nasty thing about Severus.

"They are going to miss us Belle that is why they are acting the way they are" Lily had said to Belle last night when Belle mentioned it. Belle knew Lily was dreading today, of course she wanted to Hogwarts but Lily has always been so attached their family not actually having been to a sleep over in her entire eleven years of being alive.

'I'm going to be okay' Belle lies to herself inwardly, holding the pillow high in the air getting ready to strike her dad. 'Yeah, I'm going to be fine not Lily though' this coming from the girl who stayed at Abby's house one night and ended up calling her dad at 1 in the morning to pick her up, she couldn't sleep without her dad's tradition of reading her a story and her mum tucking her in. Some would think 'oh she was only a little girl' but no that was just last week when she stayed at Abby's.

'1…2…3' "WAKE UP DAD, MUM WE'RE LATE, LILY AND I ARE GOING TO MISS THE TRAIN" Belle exclaims loudly as she dives onto the pair and she starts hitting her dad with her pillow.

Mrs Evans flies out of bed and start rummaging through her wardrobe while Mr Evans grabs his daughter and pulls her into bed.

"There is always next year" he mumbles as he rests his chin on her head. He wouldn't admit this to his mischievous daughter but he would happily make them late for the train, he couldn't care less to be honest as long as his daughters stayed safe, at home.

Mrs Evans who is finally dressed turns to look at the clock and immediately goes red with anger, she turns sharply to glare grumpily at Belle "Belle, it is 6 in the morning" she grumbles, climbing back into bed and under the blankets.

Mr Evans sighs with annoyance "Belle, sleep" he orders as he puts some blankets onto her, when she was four he always had to do this. Belle would wake up at 5 in the morning and would be bouncing off the walls, she'd be playing, making a mess, screaming and breaking things until Alex would grab her and put him in bed with his wife and him. He'd hold her in his arms and the little troublemaker would fall back to sleep and Daisy would go around cleaning the mess and putting a disgruntled Lily and Petunia back to sleep, if Alex got up Belle would immediately wake and wreak havoc in the household.

"But mum, dad you are not going to see Lily and I until Christmas which is four months away from today" Belle whines childishly while escaping her dad's grasp.

Mrs Evans sighs happily as Belle leaves, she starts to drift off back into the warm embrace of her dreams, sometimes wished Belle would be quiet and polite like Lily but she would never say it aloud.

She leaves her parents room disappointed until she realizes there is Petunia still, so she creeps silently into Petunia's room and giggles as she sees Petunia dribbling onto her pillow.

"Tuney wake up, um Lily and I need to be done up before we go!" Belle yells as she jumps up and down on Petunia's bed, Petunia flies forward giving Belle a huge fright.

Petunia glances at the time "good it's early, get in the shower and I will wake Lily" Petunia says firmly, wide awake as if she'd been awake the whole time which surprises Belle.

Belle's excitement immediately deflates, her one last chance to annoy Petunia was a complete failure, and so she sighs in defeat and marches obediently to the shower.

Petunia giggles softly as she watches her little sister march away with a solemn expression on her face, Belle can drive her nuts but she keeps her on the toes. 'Never gets boring with her in the house' Petunia thinks amusedly, the smile on her face falters as she remembers the twins are leaving to Hogwarts. Last week she wrote a letter to Hogwarts begging to come, and to her annoyance Belle sneaked up behind her and snatched the letter out of her hand. Her apple green eyes widening in surprise as she read the letter's content and Petunia still remembers what she did next.

"Sev told me you'd be jealous because we are special and he said you are not since you are a muggle" Belle said with a forlorn expression on her face, Petunia's sapphire eyes fill with rage but before she can retort but Belle continues "and you know what I told him, I told him that unlike us you don't need magic to be special, that you already are. Tuney I know it hurts for you and I'm sorry but even though you can't use magic it doesn't mean you aren't special. Look Lily is better than me with these talks but all I'm saying is I wouldn't have you as my sister any other way, I love you regardless. Sev is wrong you are special to me and to Lily without magic"

Petunia remembers standing their gobsmacked while Belle placed the letter on her desk and walked away, her cheeks stained pink with embarrassment after saying something so cheesy.

'I will always long to have magic and I will always envy the twins for having magic just like I'll always love my little sister's' Petunia thinks, a soft smiling gracing her features.

Petunia marches into Lily and Belle's room, Lily had a shower last night and her hair is short so Petunia could easily do her hair but she also wants to pluck her eyebrows.

Petunia smiles happily as she sees her sister already awake who is brushing her auburn locks while gazing at her reflection with a nervous look on her face. Lily is always organized and well prepared just like how Petunia taught her, sadly the lesson when through one ear and out the other with Belle.

"Tuney" Lily exclaims in surprise and she turns to face her older sister "did Belle wake you up too? I heard her wake mum and dad up" Lily asks. Lily couldn't but laugh after she says this, she knew Belle wouldn't' dare to wake her up the last time she did Lily shoved her on the ground and proceeded to make Belle's ear drums bleed by yelling incoherent things. Though everyone laughs at this like it's a joke or lie Belle knows Lily isn't as sweet as honey because boy when she is peeved you know it and you hear about it.

Petunia takes the brush from Lily's hand and starts brushing her sisters auburn locks "yes she did but luckily she reminded me to tidy the pair of you up. I am not having my little sisters going to school looking like a pair of hooligans and don't tell Belle this but I got a real nice white dress for her to wear" Petunia says, frowning as she comes across a knot.

Lily winces in pain as Petunia starts brushing out a knot "can I wear you green dress? It's real pretty" Lily askes, smiling brightly at Petunia. Her heart flutters as she thinks of Severus, he loved the colour green on her and often told her, not knowing the boy hasn't been complimenting her but leaving subtle hints for her to go into Slytherin with him.

"I was going to wear it but I guess you can, I'll just wear the blue dress mum gave me on my birthday, You do know it's only to get chilly" Petunia replies, she grabs a pair of eyebrow tweezers and Lily grimaces as she sees them.

"Tuney, that is not necessary" Lily comments as she unconsciously touches her eyebrows, Severus always told her she looked fine without her eyebrows plucked, has he been lying?

"I love dad but we both inherited his bush unlike Belle who luckily received mum's perfect brows, so come here and remember to do your eyebrows weekly" Petunia says, as she touches her own eyebrows with her nose crinkled with disgust. Lily reluctantly gives in, she wants to look her best today.

Belle waltz into the room with a towel wrapped around her "done, oh morning Lily" Belle says chirpily, her smiles transforms into a frown when Petunia tosses a white dress to her.

"Put it on, mum asked for you too and besides you have to make mum happy before you leave" Petunia says as she plucks Lily's eyebrows, Lily yelps every single time to Belle's amusement.

'Oh how I love my eyebrows' Belle thinks, she slips into Lily and her wardrobe and gets strange into the dress and some undergarments, Petunia is utterly envious of Belle and Lily who are already getting breasts when she still has none.

Alex sighs as he lies in bed gazing aimlessly at the ceiling "Daisy, do you think this is a good idea?" Alex asks after a moment of silence.

Daisy sighs and she turns to face her husband "Alex, the girls will be fine. We raised them to be independent young woman" Daisy replies though she is slightly worried about how the girl's will be.

"But they aren't woman yet, they are still little girl's and what about Belle, I love her to bits but we are always being called by her school because she has done something. Lily, she is always bullied we won't be able to be there for her" Alex says, his springs out of bed and rushes towards the girls room to announce he changed his mind.

When he looks in he sees his baby girl's looking beautiful, Lily in a green dress with her hair out and fringe being held back by a headband, Petunia in a blue dress with her hair done up in a high pony-tail and his Belle for the first time dressed in a white dress with her hair styled the way it was when they went to Diagon Alley. His babies are growing up, and it broke his heart to know that soon his babies would leave his home to live in their own.

"Don't laugh dad" Belle grumbles while crossing her arms over her chest, her cheeks burning red with embarrassment.

Alex smiles sadly at his girls "you are all growing up too fast, come on we're having porridge for breakfast" Alex says, quickly walking out the room to hide his sad expression on his features.

The trip to Kings Cross Station is really tense trip; her dad kept stealing glances at her and Lily with the rear view mirror, her mum is already crying which of course made Lily cry, Petunia is biting her lip as she holds back tears while she has an arm wrapped around Lily's shoulders, Lily is crying hard, and Belle her being too 'tough' to cry is distracting herself by counting other cars on the road.

When they arrived Lily cried harder with Daisy, Petunia burst into tears while Belle and Alex kept a straight face, both being too 'tough' to cry. So they got trolley's and went towards platform 9 and ¾'s, McGonagall explained to the family that they would have to run through a wall when no muggles are watching. Belle went first, Lily being too scared, Petunia not believing it, Daisy too busy crying and Alex too busy comforting his wife.

She couldn't help but gasps as she is welcomed to other side by the sight of the magnificent Hogwarts Express and the amount of people there, some appearing from what McGonagall called the Floo network wearing strange robes, and other dressed in normal clothes or what Belle thought was normal.

"Hey, girly I'd move" "If I was you" a pair of twins with ginger coloured hair says, a mischief glint shines in their honey brown eyes Belle notices

Belle moves out of the way at the right time as Lily comes flying through the wall just when she moves, Petunia comes after with Lily's trolley and shortly Belle's parents do also.

"Thanks, my names Belle Evans" Belle says to the twins "and you are?"

"Gabian and Fideon" "Fabien and Gideon" "at your" "service" they both say at the same time, reaching out to shake her hand.

Belle laughs with amusement and shakes their hands "so I'm guessing your Gideon" she says to the first one who spoke and then she turns to the second one "and your Fabien"

"Smart my dear Belle" Gideon replies with a cheeky grin on his face, his smile fades as a girl with bushy ginger hair storms over "FABIEN, GIDEON GET BACK HERE"

"It was nice" "meeting you" they both reply before they quickly sneak into the crowd, trying to hide from their angry sister Molly.

Belle waves goodbye to the pair before turning to see Lily embracing their parents tightly with tears rolling down her cheek.

Belle strolls slowly to her dad, her green orbs shimmering with unshed tears "so I guess this is it" Belle whispers, purposely looking away from her family.

Alex wraps his arms around her, drawing her into a loving embrace "try to behave my mischief one, and remember if you want to come home you can at any time, even 1 in the morning" Alex whispers, Belle laughs softly as she cuddles into him

"Okay dad, I will miss you" Belle says softly, she quickly wipes away the sneaky teas which escaped her apple green orbs.

"I will miss you too, remember we love you so if you ever want to come back home you can, and if things get to be a little too much you can come home whenever you want" "dad, I want to go to Hogwarts and to stay there. Evans never back down from a challenge or give up, remember" Belle interrupts him with a smile on her face as she looks up at him.

"I remember" Alex replies while placing a kiss on her forehead and with one last quick hug Belle pulls away. Daisy smiles lovingly at her mischief child, sure sometimes she wishes she could be like Lily but then the house wouldn't be so lively without her, being well her.

Belle quickly hugs her mum and she pulls away she has never bonded with her, she loves her of course it's just they have never spoke without Lily, Alex or Petunia being there. Petunia and Lily spend time with Daisy alone but Belle has always preferred being with her dad and if he wasn't there then she went to see Severus.

Petunia hugs her quickly "you better remember to do your hair daily, I told Lily to if you don't and please use your knife and fork not your hands when you eat. Also… don't forget to tell me everything, about boys or friends you make" Petunia whispers in her ear, before she smooth's the wrinkles on Belle's dress.

"Right Tuney, and oh um I will as long as you stop your stupid diet" Belle replies her nose crinkling with disgust as thinks of Petunia's diet, living off fruit and vegies is downright nasty.

Petunia nods rather reluctantly and the train makes a loud hooting noise signalling it's time for the students to board.

Belle looks around for Severus but doesn't see him anywhere, so she pushes her trolley to the train where a man lifts her bag on "thank you" Belle says before turning to motion for Lily to follow.

"Bye dad, Tuney, mum wish me luck and Lily luck" Belle exclaims as she goes aboard the Hogwarts Express.

"You mean wish Hogwarts luck" Petunia mutters making her parents laugh with amusement.

"Oh dear, Lily I know will be good but I'm a little worried about Belle. She's just like her father, a troublemaker to the core" Daisy says, giggling as she waves to her children who found a compartment where they could see their folks.

"Hey!"

The compartment door opens and the twins swiftly turn to see a boy wearing glasses, his hair wild and scruffy and his eyes a deep hazel colour and he looks awfully familiar to Belle. "I'm James Potter, oh it's just… girls" he says rather arrogantly as he looks at them, admiring inwardly Belle's familiar apple green orbs.

"I'm just as surprised as you, I mean for us being girls. Blimey for my whole life I've just never had the time to notice that, so I guess I have to thank you for telling me" Belle replies, amusement twinkling in her green eyes which has James enraptured. "I'm Belle Evans, a girl it's nice to meet you James, a boy" she adds amused as James ruffles his hair nervously making his hair messier.

"I recognize you, I saw you by the Quidditch store" James blurts out after a minute of trying to think why the girl seemed so familiar.

"Yes, the one and only Belle or the girl. It's nice to see you again James, this is my twin sister Lily" Belle says with a welcoming smile on face which makes butterflies form in the pit of James stomach.

Suddenly the compartment door opens to reveal one Severus Snape, his black hair less greasy than usual which probably means he was able to shower with also meant his dad was probably out, Tobias Snape is a cruel man. Severus hooked, and crooked nose hasn't always been that way but after so many beating from his abusive dad it went that way. His skin sickly pale because he is rarely let outside, only when his dad is gone or his parents are too busy arguing to notice him slip out and the windows are nailed shut by his dad who couldn't let the neighbours see him try to beat the magic out of his wife and child. Belle embraces Severus tightly and he hugs her back with a huge smile on his face.

Severus feels happy because now he didn't need to be home, but James misread that for Severus liking Belle and that little understanding started the mutual dislike between the two.

Belle pulls away and takes a seat next to Lily, patting the spot beside her as she looks at Severus. Severus notices the boy glaring at him so he scowls at him and takes a seat beside Belle unknowingly adding fuel to the flame.

"My name is James Potter, my dad's a famous auror but retired a few years ago, he works at the Government now" James boasts arrogantly, smirking proudly at Severus as he notices Belle's look of amazement.

"My name is Severus Snape, and I'm rather fascinated about you so can you answer me a question" Severus comments, a smirk appearing on his sickly pale face.

"Of course, I am rather fascinated compared to someone as dull as you" James replies arrogantly, his hazel eyes shining with pride as he gazes at the greasy haired boy.

"I was wondering how you got on this train, your head is so enormous with all the hot air so it must have been a struggle to board" Severus wittily responds, he gives James a superior look.

Belle bites her lip to stop the laughter from escaping, Severus could be so witty if he wants too but she didn't want to laugh at James, the boy already looked so offended.

"I was wondering the same with you, with a nose that big I'm surprised you managed to fit through the door" James fires back, his hazel eyes shining with rage as he glares at Severus.

A boy with curly black hair pokes his head into the compartment and sighs with relief as he notices his horrid cousin isn't in here, he hated Bellatrix the crazy slapper not that he'd ever say that to the bat-crazy girl because he loved living "hello, my name is Sirius B-can I sit in here?" he asks, purposely not mentioning his surname.

"Sure, I need a fellow male in here since I am the only one" James replies and Severus clenches his fists.

So it will be continued but I had to get off since my annoying mum wants a turn, I am not mentioning the fact she had been on the lap-top all morning. So yes James and Severus don't get along, I wanted to change that but I need conflict in my story or it'll be awfully boring. Please review, tell me what I have to fix and sorry it is rushed but mum was making me hurry so she could have a turn.
