Harry Potter fan fiction… What life could have been like!

Chapter 1

Harry's POV

We are meeting her tonight! That's so cool! My mum spent the whole day cooking and cleaning. This is a huge deal! This first meeting is one on one with her. It's so sad we don't even know her name yet. Mum wanted us to dress fancy but dad wanted us to dress casual. In the end, mum won like always.

"Harry, are you ready?" Mum yells from the bedroom.

"Yes he's ready Lily! Why wouldn't he be? You pestered him so much!" My dad yells back.

"Don't start James!" Mum yells. I have to laugh. My dad smiles at me as the fire place lights up.

"Hello Padfoot! What are you doing here?" my dad calls out to my god father.

"Well I want to meet my soon to be God daughter too!" Sirius smiles.

"Sirius!" I go up and hug him.

"Sirius, what are you doing here?" My mum asks coming in the kitchen. She doesn't look amused so I step away.

"I just wanted to meet my god daughter tonight!" He says beaming up at my mum.

Mum whacks him on the arm. "Who said it was you're god daughter?"

"Well… I bet it's true" He points out.

"Mum, why can't Sirius be her god father?" I ask my mum a little to innocently. Sirius nods too. I can't help but grin.

"I… Well… all right. I guess you can be her god father." She looks at Sirius. I grin. James winks at me and Sirius pats me on the back. Mum would do almost anything for her son. "Now you need to try not to scare her away Black. You too Potter" She says as she steps into the living room.

A few minutes later we hear a knock at the door. Mum rushes off to go answer it. Dad, Sirius, and I follow behind her.

"Welcome to the Potter family!" Mum exclaims. I see a little blond haired girl waiting at the door. She has big brown eyes and freckles across her nose. She is about a foot shorter than me. Well that makes sense because she would go into her first year coming up in a month. "This is James, your father, Sirius, your God Father, Harry, your brother, and I am Lily, your mother." Mum says. The girl smiles a bit.

"Hello I'm Isabella, but please just call me Belle." She introduces herself with a calm American voice. Dumbledor, who was standing behind her, apparates as Belle walks over the thresh hold.

"Hello Belle. Let's go sit" Dad says and leads the way into the living room.

"Would you like anything Belle? Cookies, drinks, cake even?" Mum asks.

"A sweet tea please" answers Belle.

"Alright, do you like it chilled?" mum asks her as she stands up.

"Yes please" Belle answers. Mum walks into the kitchen. Belle sits almost awkwardly in a chair. Sirius sits in the recliner next to her and I sit in the middle of the sofa with dad next to me.

"How do you like England so far?" I ask her.

"Very well actually. It's really pretty here with all the older buildings. You don't see much of that in Atlanta." She answers with a smile. I nod.

"That is in the south, correct?" I ask.

"Yep, the south east" she confirms. Mum walks back in with tea and cookies.

"Thank you Ms. Potter." Belle says.

"So Belle, do you enjoy pranks?" Sirius asks slyly.

"Yes, but not like actually pulling them off. I just like watching them; unless it's pulled on me then I hate them." She looks at him.

"Sirius!" mum glares.

"Just had to ask" Sirius replies with an evil grin.

Dad asks, "What do you enjoy then, Issy?"

"Er well, I like reading, a lot. I do enjoy school some too. I love nature and animals. I play guitar some… and I consider myself really creative!" she says and both Belle and my mum's eyes light up.

"Guitar?" Sirius asks.

"A muggle instrument, Black" Mum says

"How much do you know about magic then, Issy?" dad asks.

"Very little" she answers truthfully.

"We can teach you the basics before you go to school. We can even get Remus to tutor you!" dad reassures her.

"We want to decorate your room before you move in, Belle, any suggestions?" Mum asks.

"I guess you could paint it violet if you want. I have some book posters I can hang." She shrugs. "Whatever's fine though?"

"We can make that work. Do you need anything else? We can always buy you what we need" Sirius adds.

"Er no, not that I can think of right now" she says. I think she is trying to be polite. I take a cookie.

"Come on; let me show you the house!" I volunteer. I just want to meet her alone for a bit.

"Alright" she replies.

I show her the kitchen and the office, which are on the first floor. We go upstairs and I show her my room.

"These rooms are big" Belle finally speaks up.

"I guess. Your room is the same size." I say as we walk across the hall into her new room. We cleared it out to make space. It has a big bay window on the far wall.

"Wow" is all she can say.

"Nice right? You even have your own bathroom" I say as I walk and open her bathroom door. She pushes open another door to revel a walk-in closet.

"Wow this is huge!" Her eyes bug out. I smile. I'm going to like her being my new sister. I show her the rest of the house. Before we go back down again, she asks nervously, "Can I trust Sirius? Is he a close family friend?"

"Yes you can trust him. He's as loyal as a dog" I say internally laughing.

Lily Potter's POV

When the kids leave, I ask my husband "What are your thoughts?"

"Well, we have to start teaching her magic, obviously. She didn't seem very nervous at all. Do you think she would be in Griffindor? More importantly, how good is Issy at Quidditch?" James replies.

"Only time could tell" I answer him.

"Why did you choose another bookworm?" Sirius asked me.

"Don't be rude Sirius! I think she is hiding something. Don't you feel it James?" I ask worriedly.

"I think she would get more comfortable as time goes on." James replies dismissively.

"We need to invite Friends over to meet her, tomorrow night when she moves in!" Sirius goes on. "We could have Moony come over! We could invite the Weasleys and that Granger too. Maybe even Minny! (McGonagall)"

"Sirius, we'll decide on whom to invite. But it would only be for dinner." James tells him. The doorbell rings, Dumbledore has come to get Belle.
