Peculiar ~A T.R fanfiction~

Chapter 1 ~The arival~

When Julietta stood in front of the large castle she was mildly impressed. It was exactly what she expected, her Grandmother had projected the picture in her head perfectly. Her chauffeur opened the door of the luxury car and she stepped onto the grass. He lead her to the doors of the castle before pulling her into a tight hug. "You and the other staff will continue to be paid while I am at school. Tell them to take some vacations, go visit their families and pick a mansion to stay at. Look after my pets, they are the loves of my life and write to me on how they are doing. Look after my affairs while I am at school and fire one of the tutors. I shall only need one now that I am at school. Goodbye Harold, I will be home for the holidays" she whispered in his ear before breaking the hug." He nodded and returned to the car before driving away. She watched the car fly away until it was no longer in her view. She took a deep breath in before knocking on the doors of the castle.

A ghost she recognized as Helena Ravenclaw daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw floated through the doors. "They are busy celebrating Tom Riddle saving the school so they sent me to pick you up. Leave your bags and the caretaker will come get them. Now follow me." she ordered before turning around and leading the girl to the great hall. Julietta followed her until she stopped at two large wooden doors while Helena floated straight through them. The doors flew open and Juiletta walked confidently through them. Kids were holding up their goblets chanting "to Tom Riddle." before drowning what was in their cups. She then felt their eyes travel from the front of the room to her. They looked her up and down before whispers filled the room. Her white hair was in a tight bun, the white fur and the violet silk dress that she wore screamed money and luxury. The real kicker was the necklace that sat on her creamy skin. It had a silver chain with a violet gemstone that had her family's crest on it in diamonds and white gold. It matched her eyes perfectly and only drew more attention to her immense wealth.

The room fell silent as she started walking forwards and the clicking of her pumps of the stone floor was the only sound heard in the room. Professor Dippet announced "Everybody this is Julietta Goldwood and she will be joining our year 6 class. I expect everyone to treat her with kindness and respect. Before we sort her why doesn't she tell us something like where she is from and what she will miss the most." He then motioned for her to stand at the podium. She sighed before following his instructions and making her way to the podium. The words that escaped her dark red lips were "My name is Julietta Belle Elise Goldwood. I am 16 years old. I was born in Lyon, France but have spent the majority of my life traveling around the world. I will miss my pets the most."

She was then lead to a small stool where a hat was placed on her white hair. "Well, a Goldwood we haven't had one of those in a while. Gosh, your brain is just wonderful. Honest, brave, ambitious, loyal, cunning and very very smart. You really are the full package but where to put you? Your magic is unlike any that I have ever seen before. How peculiar you are, my dear? Hmmm." the hat said while they sat there in silence for another five minutes. She was getting rather sick of the eyes on her and almost let out a sigh of relief when the hat announced "RAVENCLAWWW." She gracefully stood up and pulled the hat off her perfect hair before laying it down softly on the stool. She turned and walked to the table of screaming student where she found a seat alone at the end of the table. She filled her plate with salad while ever student watched her eat with manners worthy of a Queen. They stared, mesmerized by her captivating features and her bewildering sorting ceremony.

A girl with her red hair in large ringlets that were fashionable at the time came and sat down next to her. "Hi, my name Maria Pembroke but everyone calls me Mimi. You will be sharing a dorm with us. Follow me." " She ordered and Julietta followed her silently. When she entered the dormitory two pair's of eyes landed straight on my. "This is Eileen Prince and this is Jezebel Bennett. Girls this is the new girl and our new roommate." Jezebel jumped up excitedly and ran to give Julietta an awkward hug. Julietta kept her hands by her side and her eyes wide at the physical contact, something she isn't used to.

Meanwhile, in a dormitory far away from the Ravenclaw tower in the dungeons in the bottom of the castle, Tom Riddle was talking to his loyal followers. He lounged gracefully on a couch in the Slytherin common room. He had a malicious smirk plastered on his face while he commanded: "Avery, give me a profile on the new girl." This was his job, to know anything and everything about everyone. "My Lord, Julietta Belle Elise Goldwood is an enigma. Her family is rich and powerful to a fault. They don't specialize in something like the Malfoys specialize in albino peacock breeding. Every member of the family chooses what they want to do in life and excels at it. Her childhood was spent traveling from family castle to family mansion with her large staff. She would come to wizarding balls and reveal nothing about herself. She always had perfect manners, graceful dancing and a stunning yet reserved smile on her pretty face. I once talked to her for half an hour and didn't learn a single thing about her. Mystery is a trait all Goldwoods possess." The meeting ended quickly after that but Tom Riddle was kept up all night by this perplexing girl. If there is anything Tom Riddle hates in this world it is the things he cannot explain.
