Chapter 12 – Welcome to Potter Manor.

"Hey Lily? Vi entered her sisters room as Lily was working on some Homework. "How do I look?" Lily turned and smiled. Mrs Evans had been able to persuade Vi into a dress with leggings, saying she should try and look nice for her friends.

"You look great, I guess you'll be telling them today, won't you? I bet their dying to know." Lily smiled

"Yeah, I…" Vi began, but the doorbell cut her off. "Oh, that will be them."

"Off you go then, and tell me how it goes later." Lily told her.

"Okay, see you later Lily." Vi headed down stairs. Mr Evans had answered the door and was currently talking with Mr Potter, Vi joined them.

"Sirius, and James. You both came?" Vi asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I already knew the way and James wanted to check it out." Sirius nodded.

"Remus and Peter are just finishing stuff off back at mine with my mom's help." James grinned. "We've got so much planned."

"I can't wait!" Vi smiled in replied.

"so, did you get your letter?" Mr Potter asked, looking at the young girl.

"It's a surprise, for now. It will be easier to tell everyone with Remus and Peter, just so I don't have to repeat myself." Vi said

"We'll act surprised when you tell them if you tell us now." Sirius told her.

"Nope." Vi shook her head, the stuck her tongue out at Sirius.

"Well then, we better be off. I'll get her home before dark." Mr Potter assured Mr Evans.

"Very well, behave yourself Vi." Mr Evans looked at his daughter.

"Aren't I always?" She smiled and followed Sirius and James to the car. The father's shared a knowing look before biding each other fair well. In the car to the Potter's home, The three friends shared their holidays so far.

"You live here?" Vi gasped as they drove up to a he manor house.

"Yah, been in the family for generations." James nodded. "A tour is part of today's plan."

"Cool…Do you ever get lost?" Vi asked

"He got lost all the time as a child, we had to make arrows to help him get around." Mr Potter said, Vi giggled as James blushed slightly.

"Dad, please don't embarrass me…" He muttered, Mr Potter just laughed. Everybody got out of the car and led Vi around to the back of the manor house. Remus and Peter were working on something with Mrs Potter. "I thought it was going to be done?"

"Your mom adding something to it." Remus explained, before vi could asked. Remus, Peter and Mrs Potter stepped back, some fireworks shot into the sky, and spelled 'Welcome Vi'. Glitter and flower petals fell from it. Vi looked up at it with a smile, she caught one of the petal's in her hand. It was the petal of a violet. She smiled, sweet.

"It's beautiful." Vi said. "You guys are pretty talented, when you put you minds to it." She glanced at them.

"I tell them that, but those two are more interested in their pranks then school work." Remus looked at James and Sirius, both shrugged.

"We have better use of our talents." James said

"Anyway, we need the answer now. Are you coming to Hogwarts?" Sirius asked

"I'm sorry to disappoint you guys, but no. I haven't got a letter. Guys you'll have to go to Hogwarts without me." Vi told them.

"Man, so there goes our plan to sneak you into Hogsmead…we'll just need to find something you'll from it and send it to you." James smiled. "Anyway, we need to tell you this great idea we had Vi, as a member of the Marauders, you should also get a say in it."

"Even as the muggle member?" Vi asked. Mr and Mrs Potter smiled at each other, and went in to leave them alone.

"Of course!" Sirius smiled. "Now, James, it was mostly your idea."

"Right, see. Hogwarts is a huge castle, Lots of people, and it is almost impossible to navigate around." James told her, Vi nodded. "So, we thought of making a map."

"but, shouldn't the teachers already provide maps to help people get around?" Vi asked

"they should, but don't. But this won't be a normal map. This one will show everyone in the castle, what they are doing, where they are, who they're with. Students and Teachers alike." Sirius added.

"Not to mention every secret passage in and out of Hogwarts. It will help us with our pranks, but also…" James began

"Allow you to sneak out to check on Remus without being caught by teachers…Brilliant!" Vi smiled "This is the best Idea I have ever heard, but, from I have read in Lily's books…the amount of enchantments you'll need to cast to make it function in the way you described, not to mention the whole castle…This could take years to complete."

"We know. I can explore at night using my cloak. We know the main ways to class. We know a few secret passages. But, yes, we will have to work day and night to complete it before we leave. But, we'll get it done." James nodded.

"I wish you all the best, I know you can do it!" Vi told them.

"Thanks, Vi." Sirius grinned.

"Would you all like Lunch now?" Mrs Potter called from the manor.

"Should we?" James looked at his friends. They all nodded and headed in.

After lunch, James gave Vi a tour of the Manor, introduced her to the house elves. Before going back outside to have fun. And by the time Mr Potter was driving Vi home, she was tired and close to falling asleep.

"Seems like someone had a tiring day." Mrs Evans said, as she opened the door. Vi nodded and yawned. "Then you go up to bed." Mrs Evans spoke to Mr Potter and Vi headed up to her room. She got ready for bed and curled up under the covers with a yawn. She would tell Lily about it tomorrow.

Author's note: So, Vi isn't going to Hogwarts…To be honest, I thought it was going to be obvious. I had planned this from the very beginning. So those who thought she was going to Hogwarts, I couldn't help but laugh at the reviews that mentioned Vi going to Hogwarts. But, yep, she not going. Believe me Chapter 27 will make it worth it...as well as some far future chapters.
