Chapter 11

Natalia

"HOLY SHIT!" I hear Marlene yell from my room, everyone looks at each other before sprinting to my room. I quickly open my door and see Marls staring at my bathroom,

"What's wrong?"

"Has something happened?" We ask but Marlene doesn't answer and pushes us all into the bathroom,

"Ok, I now see why you screamed," Lily whispers looking around my bathroom wide-eyed along with the rest of the girls. There are 3 sinks, a large bathtub, a shower, and a mirror that goes all the way along the wall.

"Guys it's 3 o'clock already," I tease changing the subject,

"WHAT?!" They all scream and run out of my room to grab their dresses and accessories as I laugh and start getting my stuff out.


...

A/N So I have realised that I haven't given the girls casts and everyone knows who the boys are, so in the middle of each group picture is the cast. Everything else is what they are wearing :)

Victoria Justice as Natalia Gryffindor

Keira Knightly as Marlene Mckinnon

Sofia Bryant as Mary Macdonald

Lauren Donzis as Alice Fortescue

Sophie Skelton as Lily Evans


"NATALIA GRYFFINDOR YOU HAVE A TATTOO?!" Lily screams as I walk out of the bathroom revealing my outfit by doing a spin,

"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US YOUR BEST FRIENDS?!" The 3 other screams before running forward and turning me around to look at it,

"How and why did you get a lion tattooed?" Allice asks still shocked,

"Well I got it because it's my patronus," Because I got it with my twin, "How, I spelled a fake ID," Lies, a voice whispers in the back of my mind before I push them away,

"When did you get it done? You didn't have it at the feast," Mary thinks before I turn around and see the girls all dressed up and feel like I'm stuck in the photo. Sirius once showed me a photo of this except they were at Alice's house.

"This is one of my favourites of the girls," Sirius smiles sadly showing a picture of Marlene, Alice, Lily, and Mary, all smiling and laughing at something Marlene says,

"Why were they all dressed up?" Harry asks curiously, Sirius places the photo down on the table and a fond smile forms on his face,

"Your grandparents every Christmas Eve and Easter Sunday would throw these amazing balls and this is the first year all the girls came. Marlene asked Mu-Euphemia if all of her friends could go, she pulled a few strings but Euphemia had known Marlene since she was a baby so didn't say no." Sirius laughs at the last bit,

"She really loved taking in strays didn't she," Jack jokes and picks up a photo of James, Sirius, and Moony all dressed up but you could see where Peter was cut off.

"I bet if she was still around us twins would have wormed our way into the Potter household. What do you think Harry would Jack and I make good siblings?" I tease playfully elbowing Harry and for once a real laugh comes out of him and soon everyone is laughing.

"You two already make the best brother and sister," He replies sincerely,

"Shut up Harry I don't want to cry," I sniffle, wipe my eyes, and punch Harry on the shoulder,

"Hey, you aren't allowed to kill the chosen one!" Harry yells and soon enough we are all laughing as if we were a real family.

"Natalia you there?" Lily says waving her hand in front of my eyes and I snap back to the present,

"Shit sorry," I say before answering Mary, "I already had it done I just had a glammer spell over it. Now come on we still have a few minutes before I get Willow to drop us off. Who is feeling like ABBA?" I say changing the subject,

"Always!" Marls yells and Dancing Queen starts playing on my record player.

"You are the dancing queen!" We sing and start dancing around my living room,

"Young and sweet. Only seventeen. Dancing queen!" Lily and I sing as I grab a random hairbrush for us to sing into. Next, I throw it to Alice and Mary,

"Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah! You can dance! You can jive! Having the time of your life" The brush gets thrown back to me and Marls and I are back to back singing,

"OOH, SEE THAT GIRL! WATCH THE SCENE! DIGGING THE DANCING QUEEN!" We sing and Marls takes the mic off me and marches over to Alice and they sing the next lines,

"You're a teaser, you turn 'em on! Leave 'em burning and then you're gone! Looking out for another!" Marls throws the hairbrush to Mary and Lily and I quickly grab my camera and snap a picture,

"Anyone will do! You're in the mood for a dance! And when you get the chance!" Mary throws the brush to me and I start singing the chorus,

"You are the dancing queen! Young and sweet! Only sevente-" The rest is cut off when an owl swoops into the room and lands on the record playing stopping the music from playing. We all walk over to the owl and see it is carrying a giant bouquet of flowers and books. Everyone pushes me forward and encourages me to open the card but when I read it my eyes drop out of my head as I recognise the writing but the shock quickly changes into a laugh.

"Lils looks like you are onto admirer number two but this one is secret," Lily rushes forward and reads the card aloud so everyone can hear,

"Dear My Flower,

I thought you might like these books. Some are limited edition or only a few copies were made. I hope you like them,

From yours," Lily reads completely shocked and blushing. Mary, Alice, and Marlene all look just as shocked,

"How come nobody sends me a book bouquet," I huff putting on a fake pout and making everyone laugh, grabbing the bouquet I put it next to Lily's stuff and call for Willow.

"Willow can you please come here!" With two little cracks both Willow and Daisy come,

"Oh, Mistress you and your friends look beautiful!" Willow complement and Daisy squeals and comes over to me,

"You look amazing Natalia," She whispers with awe in her tone into my ear when I pick her up and start dancing around the room holding her. Her laughter echoes through the house as everyone laughs and when I dance my way back to everyone before placing her down next to Willow.

"Wow, have you grown since I left for Hogwarts," I tease and she nods eagerly before running off somewhere in the house, "Is everyone ready?" Everyone nods after grabbing their bags,

"Wait we need to take a photo!" Lily calls and ushers us out to the front pouch and hands Willow my camera and we all line up pretty much on top of each other,

"You know I would date any of you if I didn't see you as sisters," Marlene comments and we all laugh as Willow takes the picture of us. Guess I finally know what she said, I think before linking all our hands together and is in the middle holding mine and Lily's hands.

"I will make copies of your photos and leave them on your desk Mistress," Willow states, and with a crack, we are standing on Potter Manor's porch but it's so much more alive than when Sirius showed me, Jack, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I feel Willow let go of my hand and with another crack she is gone.

"Who's knocking?" Alice asks and Lily volunteers herself and I whisper to Mary and Marlene,

"I bet you 5 sickles that James is at the door," They both smile,

"Deal," They whisper back together and Lily knocks on the door to reveal James in a black suit and red tie. The girls groan in sync and I smirk,

"Welcome to The Potters Easter ba- I... wow Lilyflower you look amazing," James says admiration clear in his eyes. I look at Marlene and mouth out the words to the rest of the girls while holding my hand near my heart and exaggerating. They all cover their mouths to sniffle their laughs,

"Thank you, Potter," Lily responds and pulls us all through the door and we see the rest of the Marauders leaning on the door behind James. Sirius' gaze is locked on Marlene, Peter sends a shy smile to Mary and quietly compliments her. Sirius soon regains his emotions and looks anywhere but her.

"Wow Lia you look amazing," Remmy says pulling me into a hug for a moment before pulling back and looking at me again, "That necklace is amazing," He comments and holds the tear dropped shaped diamond into his fingers,

"Thanks, Moony, it was Rosaline Gryffindor's," I respond fondly and my comment catches the rest of the boy's attention,

"Hold on as in Godric's Wife?" James asks now looking at my necklace along with the rest of the boys,

"But nobody found anything of theirs," Sirius adds and I roll my eyes at the both of me and the girls start walking away,

"Yes, it was her's, and I know nothing was found and that's because it was all in my home which only reveals itself to the Gryffindor bloodline," I answer their questions and follow after the girls, "I'll see you later Remus, by Padfoot, Prongs and Wormtail,"

"Wait did she just call us all by our nicknames?" James questions just as I reach the girls and see them talking to two familiar figures but I can't remember who they are.

"There you are Talia we thought they kidnapped you," Marls jokes, and I roll my eyes at the comment,

"Please the marauders couldn't kidnap me if they tried," I huff before turning to the couple, "Hi I'm Natalia," I say holding out my hand but the woman starts laughing,

"So you are the famous Natalia Gryffindor," She smiles and pulls me into a motherly hug, which I return since I haven't been hugged like this since Fleur and Bill's wedding,

"Um, may we ask what you heard?" Alice asks with a polite smile,

"Ha it's not every day we hear about a girl who pissed off our boy Sirius and has James confused," The man asks then it clicks in my head who they are, Fleamount and Euphemia Potter,

"How do I confuse your son?" I ask with complete curiosity looking between the couple,

"When there is the fact you completely resist Sirius' charm as they call it," Euphemia starts with a smile,

"Or the fact you are at the top of every class without trying," Fleamount adds with a chuckle and the girls look confused because every time I am helping Remus and Regulus I say I am studying,

"Don't forget the fact how close you are to Remus when Remus isn't close with anyone outside their little gang," She finishes but before I can say anything changes the subject, "Now everyone else's parents are here minus Lily's, I'm sorry that they couldn't come dear," She says looking at Lily with sympathetic eyes,

"It's all good Mrs Potter," Lily responds with a smile

"Where are your parents?" She finally asks and I freeze only Lily knows my parents are 'Dead' well one of them is the other I don't know what's happened with her. I look at Lily and she is already looking at me and gives me a comforting squeeze on my shoulder before I let out a breath,

"They're dead Euphemia, but I don't want you to be sorry or anything I have my houseelves and that's enough for me," I tell her and the girls look at me with wide eyes and so do Euphemia and Fleamount.

"They're what?" I hear Peter say with a sad tone behind me. I quickly turn around and see the Marauders looking at me with different expressions. James and Peter are looking at me like I just kicked a puppy, Sirius almost looks like he envies me, and Remus is looking at me with sadness and betrayal.

"They are dead Peter they died when I was a few weeks old, and I didn't tell any of you," I say looking at Remus and the rest of the girls before continuing, "Because I didn't want you looking at me like you are now. I don't miss my parents. I don't have any love for them. They are just people that brought me into this world, they don't define me," I state firmly and the last bit I say looking Sirius dead in the eyes. I nod to everyone before I walk off and see some familiar black curly hair. I sneak up behind him once I know I can't be seen by the others and cover his eyes from behind.

"No need to fear your favourite sister is hear," I sing and remove my hands from his eyes. He turns around and a smile is now on his face,

"You look amazing sister," Reggie laughs and then holds out his hand and bows, "Would you do me the honors and let me have your first dance?" He asks with a smirk on his face as he pulls a fancy stuck-up voice,

"Pourquoi, bien sûr, mon frère," I respond and dramatically wave my hand around my face and then look at his shocked expression, "Yes, I speak French. Now get over it and dance with me," I command. Reggie grabs my hand and waist and we start to ball dance with the music,

"Comment pourrais-je refuser une danse à ma sœur?" He responds in french and we laugh not realising the eyes that are trained on us.

A/N This is the translations, Pourquoi, bien sûr, mon frère - Why of course my brother

Comment pourrais-je refuser une danse à ma sœur ? - How could I deny my sister a dance.
