Second chapter. Note: BELLA/AMELIE HAS NOT BEEN AT HOGWARTS YET! SHE WAS HOMESCHOOLED BEFORE BECAUSE LUCIUS AND NARCISSA WAS AFRAID THAT DUMBLEDORE WOULD TAKE THEIR DAUGHTER AWAY.

Chapter 2: A New Day in the Life of Amelie

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

~Aristotle

Bella waited for her father to turn her back to normal. Finally, after a tinkling sensation, she gazed in the closest mirror. She had platinum blonde hair that fell down to her shoulders in curls and these pale gray eyes. Her simple tank top and jeans turned into a beautiful pearl dress. She was wearing beautiful glass shoes.

"Go and see your mother," ordered Lucius, "she has been worried about you."

Amelie (Bella) nodded and left the room, slipping back into the drawing-room down the hall. When her mother Narcissa saw her now, she rose and motioned to her friends to rise as well.

"Ladies, this is my daughter Amelie Malfoy," she announced proudly. To Amelie, she said, "Darling, these are my friends. All pureblood and influential, of course."

Amelie saw them and curtsied in the politest manner. The ladies curtisied back. Narcissa screened Amelie's clothing and said, "My, you look very beautiful, my darling. I can now take you shopping and everything."

"Thank you, Mother," Amelie said politely, glad to be home. She curtsied again and went up the stairs and into her own room.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" called Amelie and a person slipped in.

Amelie put on a wide smile. It was Draco! Though she hated to admit, the one person she missed the most was Draco.

"Ame!" called Draco.

"Drake," Amelie said back and hugged her brother. She was excited to see her brother.

"Ame," said Draco breathlessly, "Father says you're to come to Hogwarts with me!"

"Really?" said Amelie excited. She had never been to Hogwarts; she had always been homeschooled.

"Really," confirmed Draco.

A/N: I'm going to skip Diagon Alley and all that stuff. We're going to the Hogwarts Express!

Amelie:

"Good bye, children," Lucius said to both Amelie and Draco. He hugged them each. "Amelie, take care of your brother. Draco, remember what the Dark Lord wants you to do. Amelie, if it is neccessary, help your brother," Lucius told them both.

"Yes, Father," they both chorused.

"Good," he said and nodded. Narcissa also hugged each of them.

"Will I be in Slytherin?" asked Amelie, worried. "I don't want to end up in Hufflepuff, or Ravenclaw. Imagine if they put me in Gryffindor. That righteous house doesn't even deserve to exist," cried Amelie.

"Don't worry, Ame. You're a Malfoy. We Malfoys always go to Slytherin," said Draco.

Amelie nodded. "Drake, I'm going to wander around, alright. I've never been on the Hogwarts Express and this'll be amazing," she told him.

Draco nodded absently and went to find his own friends. Amelie wandered around until she came to a compartment with three people. One had red hair and blue eyes. Another, a girl, had bushy brown hair and brown eyes. The last boy had black hair that covered his forehead and emerald green eyes. They were all wearing Muggle clothing, but looked friendly.

Amelie pushed the door open. "Hello, I'm Amelie," she told them. She dropped the Malfoy since it always gave fear. Amelie figured if they were who she suspected they were-a Weasley, Mudblood, Harry Potter-then she could be friendly to them and get information to help the Dark Lord. After all, the Dark Lord had given her a secret mission before she left for Hogwarts. Befriend Harry Potter, his sidekick, and the Mudblood on the Hogwarts Express for information. After the three opened up and told Amelie everything on the Hogwarts Express, she could go back to being Amelie Malfoy at Hogwarts.

"Ron Weasley," said the red-head.

"Hermione Granger," said the bushy brown-haired girl that Amelie suspected was a Mudblood.

"Harry Potter," said the boy Amelie guessed was Harry Potter.

"Are you the Harry Potter?" gushed Amelie, though she wished he didn't exist. He was the one that the Dark Lord hated the most.

"Yeah," said Harry.

"I've heard all about you from some few extra background reading books I got at Flourish and Blotts! We're going to be best friends, I know it! I come from a non-magical family. I was so excited when I received my letter," gushed Amelie, spitting out lies at she came up with them.

In her mind, she told Draco, since she could talk to him that way, as they were twins, Draco, this is a warning. Do not come to Pothead's compartment. The Dark Lord told me to befriend them on the train. After we get off and I get Sorted, I get to be your sister, Amelie Malfoy again.

Draco said back, OK, though I don't like this, the Dark Lord's bidding is priority. Just keep safe, Ame. You've had enough trouble for a lifetime.

"How come you are here?" asked Granger.

"I come from a non-magical family, so I got my letter late. I'm 16. You guys probably do not know what it is like to be from such a family," said Amelie.

"I do," said Granger quietly. "I, too, am Muggleborn. I got my letter when I was 11."

"Oh," said Amelie quietly.

They talked for hours. The three of them started opening up to Amelie. She was glad. They told her everything.

Hogwarts: I'm fastforwarding again! Amelie:

Hogwarts was amazing! Amelie was so excited to be here. She came to a person she recognized as Prof. McGonagall from the descriptions Draco had told her.

"Professor, I'm new. Where should I go?" asked Amelie.

Suddenly, Harry came up and said, "Professor, I know Amelie, and since she is Muggleborn, she'll probably be in Gryffindor. May I take her around and to the Gryffindor table?"

"That will not be necessary, Potter," said Prof. McGonagall sharply. To Amelie, she said, "You're on the list. I suggest you wait with the first years."

Amelie nodded and waited.

The list started with "Baddock, Malcolm." He became a Slytherin.

It went on and on until Prof. McGonagall called, "Malfoy, Amelie!"

Suddenly, whispers went up. "Another Malfoy?" asked one. Draco just looked smug.

The hat barely touched Amelie's head before it called, "Slytherin!" Relieved, Amelie ran to the Slytherin table and joined Draco. He patted her on the back.

Harry: I just HAD to put this in :):

Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat down on the Gryffindor table. From there, they waved at Amelie. She didn't wave back. Instead, she was focused intently on the Slytherin table.

"Look," murmured Ron. "She's probably just afraid of the Slytherin table, and afraid she'll end up there. Look at Malfoy. He's looking at Amelie intently and kind of coldly."

"Yeah," agreed Harry.

Professor McGonagall started off with "Baddock, Malcolm." He became a Slytherin.

They listened for Amelie's name, wondering what her last name was. After all, she didn't give them a last name at all. What they didn't expect was that a "Malfoy, Amelie," was their Amelie.

"Another Malfoy?" wondered Hermione. "I didn't know Malfoy had a sister."

"Look! It's Amelie," cried Ron. They watched, horrified, as Amelie responded to the name and stepped forward. The hat barely touched her head when it screamed "Slytherin!" They watched as she ran to the Slytherin table and joined her relative. Malfoy himself looked smug as he patted Amelie on the back.

They were bewildered. They had no idea that Amelie would lie to them. She was actually a Pureblood, yet lied. Not only that, she was a Malfoy. Kin to their most hated enemy.
