Venus Emory struggled against the crowded platform, her body bumping other's. Not until her cousin grabbed her arm. "Stay close," James commanded, Venus rolled her eyes. "Bye mum and dad." James hugged his parents as they stopped in front of the door of the scarlet train. "Bye, guys." Venus hugged her Aunt Euphemia and Uncle Fleamont.
After her British mother and American father was tragically killed in a boat accident in their vacation in America, Venus transferred from Ilvermorny to Hogwarts to be with her near relatives. "The last time I saw you, you were an ickle bean!" Her uncle chuckled. After hearing about her sister and husband's death, Fleamont is the one who suggested to be Venus legal guardian. Him and his wife.
"Now, you're in your fourth year!" Fleamont wiped an imaginary tear. "Stop being dramatic, Dad. We're not that old." James smirked. "He's right, Unc. We ought to leave, though." Venus said in the middle of the train's honk. "I love you, guys." Euphemia hugged them and they had a group hug before turning and getting on the train.
"C'mon," James pulled her, "We have our own compartment."
They stopped outside a compartment with the word Marauders is carved in the doorframe.
"Marauders?" Venus smirked, "lame."
She opened the door when an attractive boy stopped her inside the compartment. "Hey this is a private compartment!"
"Padfoot, this is Venus." James quickly sighed, "My cousin I owled you about?" He sat and gestured Venus to come sit beside him. "Oh," Sirius Black nodded. "What kind of name is Padfoot?" Venus smirked, "What kind of name is Venus?" He mocked, "That ruddy planet?"
"I'm Sirius," He held out his hand. "About what? your name, Padfoot?" Venus brows snitched, "No. My name is Sirius Black." He rolled his grey eyes. "Nice to meet you, Sirius. Venus Emory." He shook his hand.
She then let go of his hand before winking. Venus blinked in surprise, Is he flirting already?
"Moony! meet Venus, my cousin." James grinned at the boy getting in the compartment, a tall, lanky guy came inside.
"I'm Venus Emory." She smiled at the boys and stretched her hands for them to shake. "You have weird names too?"
"Nah, just nicknames." The tall boy laughed softly, "I'm Remus. Remus Lupin."
"Did it hurt?" Sirius asked after the boys sat down l, Venus blinked. "When you fell down from heaven?"
"Nah, I actually crawled my way from hell."
Sirius was shock to hear her answer, sow as the other boys. "Prongs! you never told us you have a feisty one!" Sirius joked. "I-I never knew." James blinked.
"So, what's the reason you transfered here?" Remus asked, "Uh, My parents died in a sailing accident in their vacation," Venus scratched the back of her neck. "and Unc Flea and Aunt Mia was made my legal guardians because Unc Flea was Mom's brother." Everyone in the room was silent. Remus then cleared his throat," I'm sorry."
"Veryyy sad, I know." Venus slumped back to her seat, "Y-yeah." Remus agreed. There was an awkward vibe.
"So uh, you're half American?" Sirius asked, grinning. "You have the funny accent." Sirius changed the subject.
"Oh yeah, I'm half Briton but I grew up in America so I have the accent." Venus laughed.
Suddenly, a red head with the greenest eyes opened the compartment door. "Hi! you must be Venus! James told me a lot about you. I'm Lily!" She is cheerful, making Venus grin. "Hi, Lily. I heard a lot about you, James here is obviously obsessed." Venus glanced at James teasingly as they erupted in laughter, James turning tomato red and Lily let out a light chuckle, before informing Remus Sirius and James to minimize their scadoodles this school year, Mcgonagall asked her to asked them
Hours later and finally they arrived at Hogwarts, "Miss Emory?" A tall Scottish woman called her as she junped off the train, "Yes?" She looked at her cousin and his friends, they nodded.
"Proffesor Dumbledore wishes to speak to you at the Headmaster's compartment." The woman informed, "Yes, ma'am," she nodded while the woman told her to follow.
The woman stopped outside the Headmaster's Compartment and signalled her to get inside. She knocked first before turning the knob and be greeted by the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world, "Uh, Mister Dumbledore, sir?"
"Ah, yes. Miss Emory, sit down, sit down," Dumbledore tapped the stool in the middle of the room, "Minerva?" Dumbledore called as the woman entered, "The hat, please." he smiled softly while Minerva McGonagall hand him the old, ragged, brown hat.
Venus breathed before Dumbledore placed the old hat to her brown hair. "Ah," the hat began to speak, Venus gasped, "Not from hear... I see." Venus gulped, "Have a mindset of a Slytherin... cunning," the hat seems to be thinking deep, "and curious. But perhaps brave and would protect those in need, willing to fight... GRYFFINDOR!" Venus let out a sigh in relief.
"Welcome to Gryffindor, I'm Proffesor McGonagall, the Head pf House pf Gryffindor." Proffesor Mcgonagall smiled. "Thank you, proffesor,"
"Oh, and do change robes, we're nearly there." Venus nodded, "It already changed to Gryffindor robes, I supposed." Venus nodded once again and left to change her robes in the changing compartment.
