Harry & Adeline Potter and the Goblet of Fire
By: Adeline Potter
Okay, so my friend, B, and I have decided to re-write books four through seven with an added character. Adeline is Harry's long lost twin sister. Please give it a chance! We would really appreciate it. ~A
A girl with strawberry blondish hair sat behind a bush, watching oddly dressed men and women bustle around a field. She wasn't stupid; she knew they were witches and wizards, like her. But she didn't know what they were doing in this dinky field. It seemed to be some sort of sporting event. But she couldn't know for sure because she couldn't move from her spot. Too many questions would be asked and she didn't have answers. So while she sat contemplating her options, her saving grace appeared.
A family of red heads accompanied by two darker haired children appeared in front of her hiding spot. She knew this might be her only chance, so she ran up behind the group, ducking her head and hiding behind a curtain of her red hair. She shifted her arm so she could slip her wand up her jacket sleeve and keep her bag from making too much noise while a bald man was talking to a man.
"Okay Mr. Weasley, off you go." The Weasleys entered the tented area, the girl silently behind them, hoping she would remain unnoticed.
They soon stopped and began assembling two tents. Not wanting to be noticed, the girl hid in the early morning shadows off to the side. Once the tents were assembled, the girl would sneak into one.
While she waited, the girl hummed to herself and picked at a stray strand of hair. 'Addie, you should really have your hair cut up to your shoulders.'
Addie, the girl, smiled at the image of her adopted mother fussing over Addie's hair. She always believed her mother would have an aneurism one day just because of her hair! But that's why Adeline loved her adopted mother so much: she cared about Addie like all her other children.
Addie had been brought to America when she was a year old by a man and handed off to the Jones', a well respected wizarding family in the south. Adeline felt loved by the Jones' even though she wasn't really related to them. Addie knew she was adopted; she was the only Jones with red hair! She also knew she had had a family before some dark wizard killed them. She had a twin brother and both parents, but no matter how hard Adam Jones looked into it, he couldn't find sufficient information to tell Adeline.
'But do you really want to know if your biological family died brutally?' Addie asked herself as she stepped to the left to stay in the shadows.
Luckily, Addie didn't have to search for an answer because three of the kids from earlier were walking out of the larger tent with a pan in their hands. And the smallest of the red heads, a girl of about 13, left the smaller tent. Addie breathed, counted to five, and swiftly sprinted into the second tent where the girl had left.
When Addie entered the tent, she saw it had been magicked to be bigger on the inside. Addie smiled.
"I love magic." The young red turned around and came face to face with the small girl from before.
"Um…hi?" Addie said waving tentatively.
The girl's eyes got wide. "DAD! BILL! CHARLIE!"
Three men, including the bald man from before, ran into the tent. One of the men had a ponytail. Addie took a slow, almost unnoticed step backwards, sliding her wand out of her jacket.
"Dad, do you know who she looks like?" The other man asked the balding man.
'Dad' nodded, a small smile tracing itself on his features. He looked to the girl.
"Ginny, go and find Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Tell them there is something important they should see."
"I would like to point out that I'm not an artifact in a museum." Addie held her hand up slightly.
"Who's not an artifact in a museum?" A boy with black hair and glasses looked around the three adults.
"Well, Harry, who does she look like?" Ponytail asked.
"Bill, what's this about? Who's in there?" Another red head asked ponytail, who turned out to be Bill.
"Oh, Ronald! Be patient!" A bushy haired brunette rolled her eyes at Ronald.
Harry had spent most of that time looking at Adeline. He knew who she looked like, but that would be impossible. He was an only child...and how could his mom had gotten a time turner?
"Who is it Harry?" Ronald asked finally.
"Who are you?" Harry asked.
"Adeline Potter, but I was adopted by an American family when I was younger-oof!" Harry had tackled Addie with a hug.
"Addie Potter? Dad…I thought there were only Harry's parents and him!" Ginny squeaked.
"Well, there was a daughter that the Potter's had, Adeline. She was Harry's twin. She was believed to have died with Lily upstairs. Harry and Adeline, I was told, didn't share a room. We didn't know she had been in the house." Mr. Weasley explained.
"But…how come no one knows about her? If you say any of the Potter's names you get a bunch of whispering, but none about a daughter." Hermione quipped.
"Well, Adeline-"
"Um, can we not talk about me like I'm not here and call me Addie, Adeline is really long." Addie said from Harry's side.
"Sorry. But, we didn't know you were in your room and assumed that You-Know-Who had killed you directly after James." Mr. Weasley said.
"Well, isn't that depressing!" Addie giggled. "So, if I'm your twin sister…that might explain some things."
"Well, we have time before the World Cup starts, so we can go into the larger tent and introduce you to the rest of the family." Bill smiled.
"Wait, so it's Ginny, Mr. Weasley, Ronald, Harry, Hermione, Bill has the ponytail, and you?"
"Charlie." Charlie smiled. "You have yet to meet the twins or Percy."
"Yes?" A horned rimmed, curly haired man stuck his head into the tent.
"Oh my god! It's a Justin Timberlake Ginger!" Addie pointed and laughed.
The others shot Addie strange looks.
"Oh, you know, Justin Timberlake? N'Sync, real popular in America? No…okay. Now it's not funny anymore." Addie sighed.
"Father, is she a stowaway? We should alert the authorities right away! How she managed to slip past the security, I don't know. But you'll have some questions to answer."
"Hold your ponies Percy." Bill said exasperatedly. "She's Harry's twin sister, Adeline. Addie for short."
Percy looked dumbfounded. "Oh, well, I'm pleased to make you're acquaintance."
"Pleased to make your acquaintance!" Two identical voices chorused as they joined the cramped tent.
"Ah! How do tell them apart!"
"Fred is more annoying." Bill teased.
"No, George is!" Fred said.
"Nuh uh." George said.
"Yeah huh!"
"Nuh uh!"
"Yeah huh!"
"Nuh uh!"
"Nuh uh!"
"Yeah uh!"
"Wait, go back, I lost track of who George was when Fred or George or…whoever did the mind trick thing!" Addie called out, making everyone laugh.
"Come on, we can sit in the other tent and talk." Mr. Weasley smiled.
"Then to the World Cup where Ireland is going to win!" Ron cheered.
"Oh! I love soccer!" Addie cried, bouncing excitedly.
"Soccer? This is Quidditch Addie." Fred said.
"What's Quidditch?" Addie inquired looking at the two twins.
"Oh my, you have a long way to go…" George laughed as they followed the others out to the larger tent.
Addie laughed with them. This was the perfect beginning to Harry's fourth year. And to his new life with his sister…his twin sister. And his only family. He had Sirius and Addie. What more could he ask for?
So, that's then end of chapter 1! I know it was on the rather short side, but the later chapters are much better! Please review and tell me and B your thoughts. We also do take suggestions! Please tune in next time!
P.S.~ One of my favorite authors, twinkle(dot)sprinkle , who happens to be B, has a fic up called Holding onto Tomorrow. It's a fic about Lily's time at Hogwarts. If you like this, you will definitely love Holding onto Tomorrow.
