This story will mainly take place in the fifth year of Hogwarts, but I thought I'd better write this chapter so to explain everything :D
My name is Sophia Potter. I was born to Lily and James Potter who unfortunately were murdered by the darkest wizard on the planet, both me and my twin brother survived. It was on that day that I was stolen away from them and taken into the care of one Bellatrix Lestrange, I have never seen my brother since but I know who he is.
My brother is Harry Potter, the boy who lived, the famous child who will vanquish the Dark Lord after all these years. And yet I still have to ask myself. Who am I? His twin sister taken in by Deatheaters and raised as a prominent child. I have been trained since a young age to fight dark wizards, to block oncoming spells, to change into different forms, to fly as if I were smoke and to penetrate the barriers of the mind. Without a wand my teachings have been hard and tiresome.
After being taken in by Bellatrix Lestrange under the Dark Lords orders I was taught such things under his command. But when Bellatrix was imprisoned I was passed over to her sister Narcissa Malfoy and her insufferable son and husband. I could tell that both regarded me with distaste and seeing as I was the same age as Draco he often regarded me jealously, not understanding why I was treating so favourably under the Dark Lord commands. Sometimes I think that Lucius Malfoy showed fear when addressing me, I was unsure of what part I was playing in this dark world of hate and scheming.
When both I and Draco turned 11 we were both taken to King's Cross train station, I was told that I was going to Hogwarts. Personally I think that it was to get rid of me for 7 years, now I understand that it was to make me ready.
But even through my dark upbringing I met my twin brother and we became friends, I suppose it was fate that we met and were put in the same house. But then again I think that the only reason I was put into Gryffindor was to attempt to keep me away from the future which was always going to come. I can still remember what the sorting hat whispered into my head as I sat before the whole school, confusion was etched as much onto their faces as it was to mine.
"Such a future could lie ahead of you, your past has brought you greater pain and yet the pain that is to come will surely rip you apart. Once more I cannot possibly put you in Slytherin, since that would only temp your oncoming fate. So to prolong the resistance and fighting spirit inside you I'm going to have to go with where you must try to belong, to change your heart from black to beating.
GRYFFINDOR!"
It was that day that me and my brother met for the first time we befriended almost instantly due to our similarities. I became part of his life and in so doing this I also befriended his two best friends Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. During my first year the headmaster Dumbledore told me that I would no longer be living with the Malfoy's but instead would live at Hogwarts, at the time I never questioned it because I was quite glad not to have to deal with neither Draco or Lucius over the summer. We shared adventures for two years before we were finally told the truth of our interlocking path. But to say the least it changed nothing we were still best friends and now even closer than before.
Throughout the four years I have had at Hogwarts so far, I have had the happiest of times simply because I was where I needed to be. I belonged in this school. I tried so hard to block out my past but parts of it kept creeping back to me. The Dark Lord seemed to follow me and my brother around every corner, constantly trying to take me back and to finish off my brother. Neither of us knew at the time why he never tried to kill me.
After the third year we met our last living relative of sorts. Sirius Black, even now I still think that he holds something against me, blaming me for something I have not done yet. His friendliness towards Harry is often undone when talking to me, I still love him though, I just wish that I could gain his trust in me as I try to fight the inevitable.
Right now I am at Hogwarts, I have just received the news that Harry has won his trial and the charges held against him about performing magic in front of a muggle have been dropped. The Dark Lord is back last year Harry witnessed his return and even though Fudge tries to deny it, I believe him. With Voldemort alive once more both me and Harry must be on our guard, because now he is back he will start preparing to fight, he will once more start to build up his army and this time he will stop at nothing until Harry is dead and I am on his side once more. I have many theories now as to why he may need me in his plans and yet none make much sense.
My name is Sophia Potter I have a twin brother named Harry Potter. I have long dark brown hair which is sleek and wavy at the best of times. My eyes are a piercing green and people often say they do not look real. I am medium height, weight and generally everything else. I would perhaps appear completely normal.
To you.
Thanks for reading my first chapter, it's not too good and if I write more then the layout and language will be less formal don't worry but in this chapter I sort of just wanted to set the scene and her personality and background a bit. So please review if you want me to carry on because I will definitely need some motivation :P.
