Chapter 1: Surprise Harry Potter was in his room, watching his owl, Hedwig, sleep. She had just returned from Ron Weasley's house, the Burrow. Harry sighed heavily and noticed it was the day before his 16th birthday. For the first time I his life, since he found out he was a wizard, he wished that the Dursley's would remember his birthday. Although Harry received regular mail from his best friends, he still felt lonely, because Sirius was gone. It had been three days since Harry had received an owl from Remus Lupin and he was just thinking up a reply to send. There was a quiet knock on his bedroom door. Harry called out, " Come in." and didn't bother to put away any of his wizarding things. He was surprised when he saw all three Dursley's and a girl, that was practically the female version of himself, walked in. Her midnight black hair was pulled into two long plaited pig-tails, rest on her front, (A/N: No scar, that comes in a minute.) and her green eyes were as bright as his were. She was as pale and as skinny as he was, with the same rosy pink lips and long eyelashes. Harry laid his quill down, as the Dursley's and the girl stood silently before him. Aunt Petunia spoke first, " Harry, I know we haven't exactly been the best relatives to you over the past 16 years, but please accept our apologies. We hope that you can come to us with any problems, we promise to try and understand and help the best we can." Harry was completely stunned, but he managed a weak nod. Aunt Petunia smiled and hugged Harry briefly, before stepping back and allowing Uncle Vernon to speak, " Anyway, we would you to meet Emerald, your Identical twin cousin. She prefers to be called Emma. She is a witch and she will be attending school with you. Also her last name is Potter." Harry's jaw dropped as Emma smiled shyly at him, he snapped his jaw shut and smiled at her. Dudley cleared his throat and said, " And we're taking to you to the fair for your birthday tomorrow, But tonight we're taking you to dinner to celebrate Emma becoming one of the family." Harry nodded as Emma spoke up, " Aunt Petunia, is it ok if I talk to Harry alone, I'd like to introduce myself better." Aunt Petunia nodded, shooing Uncle Vernon and Dudley out the door and closed it behind her, allowing the two magic users some time alone. Emma sat on the bed next to Harry and began to talk, " As Uncle Vernon said my name is Emerald, but I like to be called Emma, Em and Ems, my full name is Emerald Alexis Potter. My dad was your dad's brother. It's truly amazing that we're so very similar, we could be brother and sister Twins not cousins." Harry nodded and said uncertainly, " I know this is a silly question, but do you know which house you'll be in, when we get to school?" Emma smiled and nodded, " Yeah, I was sorted into Gryffindor this morning, but the hat wanted to put me in Slytherin. Though I must say I'm glad I've finally gotten to meet my cousin, but I wish it was in happier circumstances, You see my parents Alexis and Gordon Potter were killed by a weird hooded guy, all I remember are a set of red eyes and a green flash of light, then the weird guy tried to kill me, but the flash just bounced off of me and hit the guy sending him over the room, while he was knocked out, gathered what I could of my belongings, kissed my parents bodies and ran to the local orphanage and stayed there for the next 11 years, until yesterday when Aunt Petunia spotted me wandering around town looking for somewhere to stay." Harry nodded, then grinned, " You know your not the only one who nearly got put into Slytherin. The hat wanted me there as well but I refused because all I had heard about Slytherin was bad. So I asked the hat to put me anywhere but Slytherin. It chose Gryffindor. Umm may I see your scar." Emma nodded and pulled her sleeve up her left forearm. Harry sucked in a breath at the lightening shaped scar on Emma's arm, he gently traced the scar and stared at Emma as she shivered. He pulled her into a tight hug and whispered, " I'm so sorry Emma but your parents where killed with the Advada Kedavera curse, the same way my parents were." Emma gasped and buried her head into her cousins chest. Harry rubbed her back and pulled back. Emma hurriedly wiped her tears away, as Harry turned back to his parchment. He smiled at Emma and said, " Do you want to help me write my letter to Remus, he was a friend of my dad's. He's a werewolf." Emma smiled brightly and nodded. About Ten minutes later they re-read the finished letter.

Dear Moony,

Guess What? Today the Dursley's apologised for treating me nastily and I found out I had another cousin. Her name is Emerald Alexis Potter, the daughter of dad's brother, you didn't happen to know did you, and if you did 'why didn't you tell me?' Anyway she looks just like me, what a coincidence, huh? The Dursley's are taking me and Emma out to dinner tonight and then tomorrow they are taking us to the fair for my birthday. Oh and Emma will be coming to Hogwarts with me and she's in Gryffindor too, isn't that ccol. Well we have to go now. Speak to you soon.

From

Harry

P.S. Please don't tell Ron or Hermione about Emma, we want to surprise them, oh and tell the order we're fine, bye.

Harry turned to Emma and they grinned at each other, before rolling the parchment up and lightly waking up Hedwig, " Hedwig, wake up girl, can you please take this to Moony." Hedwig nipped Harry's finger affectionately, then took off out of the window. Harry and Emma then went downstairs, where the Dursley's were waiting to take them to dinner.

When they came back Emma helped Harry move her things into his room. (A/N: No this isn't a Harry/Emma fic so don't even think it.) She had asked to share a room with Harry as he was somewhat of a comfort to her. She changed into her pyjama's in the bathroom whilst Harry changed in their bedroom. Emma came back in, with her hair now in a plait and got into bed next to Harry. (A/N: Yes they share a bed o.O;) Harry turned the lamp off and they fell asleep, with Emma curled into Harry's warmth.
