Natasha was nervous. Excited, yes, but nervous. She had heard about Hogwarts her whole life from her Aunts and Uncles, but she never actually believed she would ever get the chance to go to Hogwarts.
She stared in amazement as McGonagall talked to all her fellow first years before going back into the hall to ensure the older students were behaving. She grabbed the hand of her cousin, squeezing tightly and smiling as the ghosts came in and talked to them all, learning all their names before they left and McGonagall returned.
She couldn't help but stare at the roof of the Great Hall (it was even better than she had ever imagined), before turning her attention to the Hall. She saw a few familiar faces, smiling at who she knew to be the Head Boy and Girl for this year and her other family members, still holding her cousin's hand tightly.
Soon they were at the end of the hall, facing all the staff.
"UNCLE HARRY!" She yelled in surprise as she saw her Uncle smiling down at her. "AUNTY ANGELINA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
Her aunt and Uncle laughed.
"We are the new Defence Against the Darks Arts and Flying Professors," Uncle Harry replied, smiling.
"We will catch up after dinner," Aunt Angelina called and she blushed, forgetting where she was for a moment. Looking around she saw all her family looking at her and smiling, making her relax because she knew they would always have her back. She turned back to look at the Sorting Hat.
"I sort you true,
I sort you fair,
To the ideals you believe in,
To the ideals you seek,
Not by blood, rank or wealth.
Slytherin calls to those who are ambitious,
And cunning, and you are sure to find
Your real friends there,
Gryffindor calls to those who dare,
Those who are chivalrous and brave,
Ravenclaw helps those who seek
To improve their knowledge
And gain a ready mind
And last but not least,
Hufflepuff call to those
Kind and loyal,
Those unafraid of a bit of toil.
Come step forward and I shall see
Just which house call to you."
After that McGonagall started to call out names, Natasha got more and more nervous and then she heard her brother's name called out.
"Dursley, Derek."
She watched he nervously walked over to the hat and sat on the stool. He sat there for a minute before the hat yelled out,
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
Derek ran over to the table and hugged Teddy who had stood up to greet him.
"Dursley, Natasha."
Natasha swallowed nervously, and Lily, who was holding her hand, squeezed it tightly before letting it go. Bravely she walked up to the stool and sat down.
"Well you are certainly smart," the hat said thoughtfully, "and you are certainly brave there is no doubting that. The brain isn't half bad but my, that thirst to prove yourself, to be the best, I have only ever seen that in one other person before and even for a Malfoy young Draco was ambitious."
"Will I be ok in there?" Natasha asked.
"Your family will make sure you are," the hat reassured her.
"SLYTHERIN!"
A hush fell over the hall before James, Albus, Rose, Teddy, Fred, Victoria, Roxanne (who was waiting to be sorted), Domonique, Scorpius, Harry, Angelina as well as Hugo, Will, Henry, Lorcan, Lysander and Louis (the last six still waiting) all started clapping and cheering for her causing the rest of the hall to start clapping too, though they were still in a bit of shock.
"You owe me a galleon Potter," Teddy called out to James, "I told you I would get Derek."
"And you all owe me one," Scorpius replied, nodding at Natasha.
"And you will all have detention if I hear about any more betting during the sorting ceremony," McGonagall interjected before anyone else could reply.
Nat walked over nervously to the Slytherin table but sighed in relief when Scorpius and Albus hopped up and hugged her.
"I've got you," Scorpius whispered in her ear before both boys sat down next to her, but Nat couldn't help but notice a few hostile looks thrown her way; after all she was the first muggle born to ever be sorted into Slytherin.
She enjoyed the feast talking to most of her fellow first years and smiled over at the twins who had been sorted into Ravenclaw, and Hugo, Will, Henry and Louis who naturally went to Gryffindor.
Soon they headed off to the dorms and Natasha followed the other girls to the room.
"Watch yourself, mudblood," a black haired girl with large teeth and small black eyes hissed at her, knocking her into the wall as she and her cronies pushed past her to get the best beds in the dorm room.
"Ignore her," another girl who Nat knew to be called Pepper said, "Linda is just a horrible person and her dad has a grudge against anyone related to any member of Gryffindor quidditch team from when he was here."
"What's her Dad's name?"
"Marcus Flint," one of the boy, who was called Stiles replied a few feet away, at the point where the girls and boys dorms separated.
Nat shrugged. "Well I hope she learnt the lesson her father learnt back in the day, don't mess with my family."
Stiles and Pepper smiled at her.
"I like you," Stiles replied.
"Nat I think we are going to be great friends," Pepper put her arm around Nat's shoulders.
"I think the three of us will be too," Nat said smiling.
Nat's school year was going by fast. She had made friends with two Hufflepuffs called Clint and Laura, a Gryffindor by the name of Steve and his brother James (who went by the name Bucky who was also in Gryffindor), and two Ravenclaws called Tony and Lydia; but she also made a few enemies.
Linda and her crew of six hated Nat and went out of their way to be cruel to her, reminding her that mudbloods like herself were unwelcome in Slytherin. It was their mission to get her out of the house. A few older students had tried, but Scorpius and Albus handled them. They allowed her to handle her fellow first years by herself.
They were in Potions when Stiles notice the group of them whispering and looking over at Nat.
"Watch out," he muttered under his breath to Nat who was working next to him, "the trolls are up to something."
Nat snorted. Ever since Stiles found out that her Uncle George and Uncle Fred thought that Marcus was part troll he refused to call Linda and her crew anything other than 'troll'. Nat couldn't blame him.
Keeping an eye on them Nat shrugged and got back to work, not concerned by them while they were in class. She left to go get an ingredient at the same time Stiles did, and didn't notice Linda meddling with the potion in her cauldron.
A few minutes later when Stiles went to ask the teacher a question, Steve and Louis noticed Linda pointing to Nat's cauldron with her wand.
"Get down!" they both yelled, tackling Nat but it was too late, the cauldron exploded covering all three of them with a disgusting green slim.
Soon all three lost all their hair and their bodies started to be covered in boils that leaked pus. Their eyes turned red and swollen preventing them seeing properly at all, but the most troubling thing was that Nat started to seize up, convulsing on the floor.
"SHE NEEDS A MEDI WITCH!" Louis screamed. "SHE'S BEEN EXPOSED TO LAVENDER! SHE'S DEATHLY ALLERGIC!"
All hell broke loose in the room as they rushed to get her to St Mungo's. Harry and Angelina met them in the Hospital wing and followed them into the secure room where they could apparate from.
All lessons were cancelled for the day and the family met to talk about what had happened.
"I'm going to kill those little brats," Dominique fumed, pacing around the empty class room they all had meet up in.
"Not before me," Derek hissed, "that's my sister she did that to. She's dead."
"We love her too," Victoria reminded him, placing her arm around his shoulder had his body shook with anger and fear.
"Look I hate to remind you all we can't actually kill her," Henry stated, earning groans and a few objects thrown at him and a few taunts about being a stickler for the rules just like his mum Hermione.
"But we can-"
"Get revenge," Will finished smirking, reminding them all that while yes the twins' mother was Hermione, but their father was Fred Weasley.
"What do you have planned?" James asked.
"We need to make them pay," Lily hissed, reminding them all of Aunty Ginny when she was mad.
"Well-," Henry was interrupted by a knock at the door.
Teddy made his way over to the door and opened it, before moving to allow the newcomers into the room.
All of Nat's friends entered.
"We want to help," Steve said before any of the family could ask what they were doing there.
"We know you are planning something," Lydia stated, wringing her hands, "and we want to help."
"She's our friend," Buck said when Lydia looked at him for support making the girl roll her eyes.
"We have some tricks too," Stiles smiled evilly.
"Some muggle ones and some magic ones to make that troll pay," Clint continued, a hard glint in his eyes.
The family looked at one another. They knew that they could handle this by themselves but they also knew not all of them would be around forever, Teddy and Victoria were finishing up this year, with Domonique leaving the year after. Nat was going to need people around her that weren't family to have her back if she was to survive being the first muggle born to ever be sorted into Slytherin.
"The more the merrier," Roxanne called out and the newcomers walked into the room and helped them plan their revenge.
It took Nat a month to be healthy enough to return to Hogwarts, and that when the plans were set into motion.
At first it was small things, Linda's soap being covered in clear nail polish, itching powder in her clothes, her shampoo and conditioner being tampered with…and then it was her assignments. No matter how much she wrote on them they were always an inch too short, earning her plenty of detentions, which Harry and Angelia eagerly handed out to the troll and her hench people). Soon all of the trolls had these misfortunes hit them and then stage two started.
Mentos were placed into the trolls ice cubes in their cups, and with the right spell the drinks were changed into soft drinks and exploded all over them. Fake dog poo was put in their beds (if real dog poo was slipped in too from time to time, well, it just couldn't be helped). Spiders were left in their bags and cockroaches were snuck into too for good measure.
Nat watched all of these pranks with amusement, especially the muggle ones, which made the trolls even madder that mere mudblood pranks could get the better of them, but Nat knew more was to come.
The last and final phase started early in the morning, with all the trolls waking up to smell like oranges and no matter what they did they couldn't get the smell off them. Running late, they skipped breakfast and headed over to potions to receive detentions for being late. Sulking and glaring at Nat and her crew, they made their way over to their seats, not noticing the fine layer of white dust at the bottom of their cauldrons.
Class went along quietly, Nat watching her friends and family members carefully, noting the smirk on the twins faces. Normally those smirks meant that she and Derek were going to get called into a twin war with the twins and Fred and George, but she knew that this time it wasn't directed at her.
Soon the trolls' cauldrons started to sizzle and bubble over the edge and then they met the potions coming from the other cauldrons; they hissed and started to foam. The trolls tried to get away, but they found their shoes stuck to the ground. They tried to untie their shoes, but found that it only caused their hands to get stuck to their shoes.
Worried, they called the teacher over, but before the teacher could reach them, all their cauldrons exploded, covering them in a lavender coloured foam.
With a flick of his wand the teacher got rid of the foam, but as soon as the trolls saw each other they started to scream. Their screams came out in screeches. They all had a type of animal for a head, with multi-coloured fur growing all over them. Their voices were changed and their hearing became sensitive, causing them to hiss when the rest of the class started to laugh at them. Their teeth started growing,along with their noses and ears.
Screeching, the trolls ran out of the room, followed by the teacher and their classmates' laughter.
Nat smiled as the teacher yelled back that class was dismissed, just as the bell rang to signal the end of class.
Gathering her stuff, she ran out of the door to find her family and friends in the great hall, and she hugged them all (her friends in potions trailing right behind her).
"Thank you," she said smiling at them all.
Derek pulled her in for another hug but it was Fred that replied.
"We are family, always have been, always will be and we will make sure that we always stick together."
