This Fan Fiction is about if Harry Potter had a twin sister. A sister that was taken away from danger and adopted by Remus Lupin. This Fan Fic tells the Potter series through her perspective. She is called Effy Lupin and does not know that she is Harry Potter's sister.
Receiving her Hogwarts letter
Effy woke up to hear the sound of cars racing by. She really hated Muggle inventions, they were so noisy. It was her 11th birthday and her father was downstairs, preparing some birthday treat. Very un like her father, but she knew her 11th birthday was the most special. She would be receiving her Hogwarts letter.
For years she had been hearing stories about her fathers time at Hogwarts with his friends Sirius, James and Peter. She also knew that he had lost one of his dear friends James, to You Know Who. The story of You Know Who, fascinated her. She had no respect for him, in fact he seemed like the evilest person to ever exist, but the story was still fascinating.
You Know Who, had killed many people during his rain of terror, wiping out Muggles and Muggle born witches and wizards. He was the one who killed her fathers dearest friends James and Lily. Whenever he talked about James and Lily he always looked at Effy with such sadness. Now James and Lily had a son called Harry, who was only a baby and he managed to destroy You Know Who. A baby managed to kill the most feared and darkest wizard of all time.
Stories like this captivated Effy and somehow she felt connected…
She crawled out of her squashy bed and placed her bare feet on the wooden planks off the floor. Effy slept in the attic, of the little terraced Muggle house in London. Her father though always made sure that she would see magic every day.
Sometimes she had to be alone in the house, because her father had to leave every full moon to "transform."
Effy slipped on her dressing gown and ran down the dusty wooden stairs, into the tiny kitchen, where her father was washing strawberries.
"Right eat your breakfast," he sighed pointing at the strawberries and then there is something for you in the living room for you to open."
Smiling, Effy sat down at the high wooden table and watching her father wash the strawberries without even touching the taps. She could see he looked tired. The scars on his face were more lined and the tinges of grey in his skin were more noticeable. It made her sad to see him like this after a change. It made her glad that she had more of her mothers genes inside her.
Once she finished the fresh (magically grown) strawberries she raced into the living room and saw her Hogwarts letter, like no letter she had ever seen before. The paper was yellow and wrinkly and the ink was loopy and thick. The seal, bore the Hogwarts crest in a ruby red, almost making her not want to open it.
She scanned through the letter at least five times, before she went running to her father.
"So what's my present!" she asked.
"Merlin's beard you are demanding," her father sighed, "we're getting your school stuff from Diagon Alley."
