Chapter 1: Enter His Other Half

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James Potter and Sirius black sat around James's house, not sure of what they should do. Both boys were dressed in black suites with solemn looks on their faces. It had been two short days earlier, Minister Jack Potter and his wife, Elizabeth Potter, were addressing the wizarding community when they both were assassinated; Lord Voldemort claimed responsibility-his first major killing. Hundreds of years of Potter legacy were left to the Potter decedents and of course Sirius. A knock on the front door echoed through the silent house.

"Not more" James sighed referring to the lame 'I'm sorry gifts he had been receiving all day. He heaved himself off the couch. James pulled open the front door, "Just leave it on the table by the stairs" James waited for the delivery man to walk in, "Hello?" James asked annoyed and sticking his head around the door. Standing on the front stoop wasn't a deliveryman but a girl who looked to be about his age.

"Can I help you?" James asked her.

"C'mon James don't be like that." The girl answered and James didn't smile with her.

"Who the hell are you?" James snapped, slightly scaring the girl.

"Don't give me that attitude, you're not the only one who lost family!" she yelled back, "Its me. Riley." James finally really looked at her; he saw the same similar physical characteristics he sees every time he looks in the mirror.

"You cant be serious." James said, "Now you come home, well you're a little late."

"Look, I'm sorry, I missed it but would you have wanted me there?" Riley yelled back

"No, like I don't want you here now." James yelled.

"this house is just as much mine as it is yours," Riley yelled even louder, "Mum and dad made sure I knew."

"Prongs, what's going on?" Sirius asked appearing next to James after hearing the commotion. Both James and Riley weren't looking at each other; their faces were red from anger, "uh…hi?" Sirius was unsure of what to say.

"No, this house is mine and Sirius's, the family legacy and even the name is mine and Sirius's. You walked away from everything six years ago." James finally said in a deathly low tone.

"James you have no idea. You think I walked out but you don't know," Riley said a little teary eyed, "I saw mum and dad probably just as much as you did."

"Yeah, every time you needed to be bailed out of jail." His words were a slap to the face. Sirius looked from James to Riley a couple of times.

"Both of you shut it," Sirius bellowed, "Who the hell are you?" He asked Riley.

"You can't tell" Riley asked with an attitude.

"Oh I can tell but I can't believe it." Sirius said.

Riley held out her hand, "Jackline Riley Potter. But call me Jackline and you won't be able to prove you're a man."

Sirius smirked, "The Potter charm I see. Now what's the problem?"

"She walked away from this family-"

"No" Riley interjected, "I walked out on the life style we were faced to live because of dad being minister." Sirius looked confused, so she elaborated, "You two, as men, don't even notice but even as a young girl I noticed. I wasn't going to be like the others. I wasn't going to stand in the corner while the men talked, I wasn't going to be a photo opt for good press and I wasn't going to listen to mums crying anymore while dad was far away." Both James and Sirius saw the truth in what Riley was saying, "But I loved my parents and I love my family."

"So what's the problem?" Sirius asked again.

James shut his eyes and sighed, "Fine." He stepped aside and let Riley step in.
