*Susan*
"Fire!" Dan said
"Fire your first year spells all you want, but you'll never beat us! We are more advanced in our magical skill than you are, kiddos" Ron replied.
"Try again. Stupefy Maxima!" I answered him and fired a series of shots at him until he was thrown into the wall. Hermione immediately ran over to him.
"You evil Mudblood kid!" She cried
"Um, newsflash! You aren't a Pure Blood either! Expelliamus!" Vera said and Hermione's wand flew out of her hand and Vera caught it without a problem.
Then, Ron fired Accio to get Hermione's wand back and battle recommenced.
"We need to get Julie to safe place before Malfoy decides to show up!" Dan shouted at me.

*Julie*
I got up from the floor. I was able to stand up through the internal pain.
"No need for it! I've had it! Flamme Cirlins!" I shouted.
A ring of blue, cold flames surrounded the trio. Those flames can't be put out with the water charms because they are cold flames so they can't be put out by cold or hot water. Only by a End The Spell Charm (finite incantatem)
"You are pushing it guys!" Harry said
"That's us, Potter!" Susie said
The trio used the Carpe Retractum to escape the flames.
"We can outsmart you children!" Hermione said.
"We'll just see about that!" Susie giggled

*Susan*
"Susie, what the heck are you thinking?!" Julie hissed
"Split up, run to hide, get them to join back together and fire! Trust me, it will work like a charm. Just be careful that we don't meet Malfoy on the way." I replied without stopping for a single breath.
"Good plan! Not Let's get this show on the road"

We ran in all possible directions, spreading out all over the Hall of Prophecy. Hermione was always on my tail. 
"Stupefy!" I whispered as I pointed my wand at her. The spell quickly hit her and I ran even faster to hide. 
"Where are they?" Ron asked Hermione and Harry as they met in the middle. 

In my hiding spot. 
"Julie, how lovely to see you..." Malfoy whispered. 
"Great, why do I always jinx it?" I've asked myself. 
"Expelliarmus!" I whispered and his wand was now in my hand.  
I looked at Dan, Vera and Susan, who were all ready to 
"Fire!" I shouted and we jumped out and fired our Stupifys at them. 

Now MalFoy walked out of the shadow. 

*Daniel* 
"There's Malfoy!" Susie said 
"Who are you, young lady?" He asked
"Your worst nightmare. Triple trouble for I am their older sister, Susan!" She replied without taking in air, standing proudly. 
"Susan Sharmons! I knew that you would be hiding somewhere."
"Glad that you're amused by it. So, have you had any plans for the summer? Because you're gonna be spending it in a hospital because we are gonna kick your butt back to where you belong, you nasty excuse for a wizard!" 
"Julie, she's worse in yelling at him than you. She just practically gave him a lecture!" I said to Julie. 
"Just because you never heard anyone giving someone a row!" She replied to me 
"Hey, I've heard a row before but that was simply a beginning of one of Mr Binns History of Magic classes"
"And you can't stop talking!" 
"You two! We're in a middle of a battle and you are squabbling like kids in a supermarket! Stop it!" Susan complained. 
Awkward silence fell. All four of us fell into laughter. 
"Right. Let's show Malfoy what we are all about!" Julie shouted 

*Susan* 
"Fire! Stupefy" we shouted and Malfoy hit the concrete wall. 
I walked up to him and pointed my wand at his neck.
"You separated me from my parents. I'll never let you get away with it!" I said
"You've not missed much" Julie replied. 
"And from my siblings. My brother and sister. You are the cruelest. You've attacked them too. But trust me, you won't be able to handle whatever is hidden" 
"Don't start an essay!" Dan said
"Daniel! Seriously, shut up!" Julie hissed 

But then, Malfoy disappeared into black particles. 
"He's gone!" Julie punched out in anger 
"Come on, the least we can do is break the spell that he cast on the trio!" I answered her. 

*Julie*

"Finite Incantatem!" I said as I pointed my wand at the trio. 
As soon as the spell hit, they were confused as to what they were doing there. 
"Julie, Daniel, Vera..." Hermione said in confusion 
"Susan. Julie and Daniel's sister." Susie replied
"Pleasure to meet you. What happened?" Harry asked
"Well, Malfoy used the Imperius Curse on you all. But it must have been partial because Hermione was able to contact me in my thoughts. She made them very much a puzzle as they were just few lines from my favourite songs put together. Ron had his input in the last message that put everything together. McGonagall was a little surprised when I said it makes sense. It all makes sense." I explained
"Yeah. I was able to somewhat communicate with you by songs. Other way was purely impossible" Hermione answered. 

We walked to the door and helped to put the shied up again. 

After returning to Hogwarts, it was around midnight. Umbridge was shocked to see us all still alive. We all just smiled at her cheekily and walked past her. 

The next few weeks were exam times and we barely had time to talk to each other. 

After we finished our exams.
"Offt, those exams were the beast." Dan said
"They were super easy." Vera, Susie and I said together 
"That's because you're all bookworms" 
"It's not because of that. It's because you kept on playing the exploding wizard card game instead of actually studying" Vera laughed. 
"Hey, I just went through one talk about school exam rules. Spare me another!" Dan replied. We laughed as we remembered the moment in the Hall of Prophecy where Dan made a similar comment. 
"Do you want to come home for the summer? I'm sure our parents will be delighted to see you!" I suggested. 
"Such a fantastic idea!" They replied. 
We went to our dorms to back our trunks (in my case a suitcase) and went off to the train.

We arrived in London and we went on another train to Scotland. 
I phoned our mum after Vera met her parents at King's Cross. 
"Hi mum!" I greeted
"Julie! Long time no hear! Are you OK? How was your first year? We're so sorry, we shouldn't have tried to keep you from where your destiny lies!" She shouted in happiness
"I'm fine mum, honestly! The first year was eventful and informational. And I've got a surprise for you two. A HUGE surprise. Part of which is why I will make my own way home!" I said and smiled at the others. 
"Really? Are you sure you don't want us to pick you up?" She asked 
"I'm fine mum, really! It's only a five minute walk. See you soon!" I replied. 
"OK sweetie. See you soon!" She said and I finished the call as we bought our ticket to Dramsemden (fan created town)

It was a long 8 and a half hour trip back home. In the mean time we slept, played card games, read books and laughed as we still couldn't get enough of that slip up in the Hall of Prophecy. 
"When will we ever let go of it?! It's kinda embarrassing." Susie asked
"Knowing Dan, probably never" I answered her, not caring of what he thought. 
He just looked at me and laughed. 
"Guys come on, our stop's here!" I said and we packed up the stuff we has out and got off the train. 

I lead them to our home. 
"It's a big house in comparison to our hut near London" Susie said in amazement 
"Stay here for a bit. I need to go in first" I answered her and walked in to our house 
"Mum, dad!" I shouted. Our parents came running to hug me in a speed of sound. 
"I missed you!" I said as I embraced them. 
"We have as well! So what have you been up to? What's the surprise you want us to see?" Dad asked. 
"Ah, let me just step outside for a second!" I said and walked outside. 
"Come in!" I shouted at them 
Susan and Dan walked up the steps and into the house. 

I closed the door. 
"Mum, Dad. I want to introduce you to Susan and Daniel. My siblings." I explained. 
"Daniel, Susan.... Is it really you?" Mum asked 
"Yeah, I think so." Daniel giggled. 
"He likes to be a comedian." I whispered to her. 
"Susan..." Dad said as he hugged her 
"Dad... I never thought I'd meet you!" she replied
"And I never thought we'd see you after all that time." Susan said to him. 
"How did you find them, Julie?" Mum asked 
"Can I explain over dinner? It really is a long story!" I said and we put our suitcases and trunks upstairs and went down for dinner. 


Year One officially complete! So happy with how it turned out! a lot going on, but Year 2 will hopefully be just as good! 
Stay tuned for that!
