Yesterday, my car stopped working and I was stranded for about two hours. When the tow-truck got there, the car was working again. I was pissed. This story kind of generated during that time. Huh, this is the second story I thought of while stuck because of my car...


Chapter 1

Discovery

"What is this?" Harry Potter demanded, waving a piece of parchment.

James Potter glanced up from his desk at his son. "Oh, Harry. Why did you take that from my desk? Thanks, anyway. Give it here, I've got to send that."

"Maybe, if you tell me who Holly Rose Potter is." Harry said, his voice like ice.

James froze. "Where did you hear that name?"

"On this letter. Now tell me why you have a document that is authorizing Mom's sister and her husband 500 galleons a month for the care of 'Holly Rose Potter'? Weren't they the ones that Mom said hated magic so much that I've never even met them?"

"Harry… This is really complicated."

"Not really. Just tell me who this 'Holly' is, and I'll get out of your hair."

"Harry… Holly is your twin sister. We sent her away after Voldemort attacked us, in order to protect her."

"WHAT?" Harry roared. Lightning erupted from his hands, sending arcs of energy everywhere. "I have a sister? Why the hell didn't you tell me?"

"We were planning on telling you before you left for Hogwarts. She should be going too." Lily Potter interjected, having just walked into the room.

"So, is all that crap about how they are horrible people that despise magic a lie? Just so that I wouldn't meet my own twin?"

Lily glanced away before mumbling a "Yes, I'm sure that they are treating her nicely."

Harry glared at her. His passive Legilmency wasn't at the level of his mentor yet, but he could still feel that she was lying to him. "Look me in the eyes!" Harry demanded.

She glanced at him, emerald eyes meeting emerald eyes. Harry entered her mind and encountered defenses. He managed to tear through them, just enough to get his mother's surface thoughts and was horrified by what he saw. He pulled away.

"You've never even checked up on her? Your sister hates you! My twin has probably been abused!"

Harry rounded on James. "You knew?"

"No, Harry, I never-" James' shields weren't as strong as Lily's, which was good, since Harry didn't have the strength to rip through shields that strong again. His suspicions were confirmed. Hell, the last time that they had been together, Petunia had slapped Lily.

"I can't believe this!" Harry shouted in dismay. So, because I'm the fucking Boy-Who-Lived, you send my sister away, to a family that hates magic, 'to protect her'?"

"Harry, we did what was best. Together, you two would have been too much of a target. We placed so many wards around that house that there's no way any witch or wizard with bad intentions could get there."

"Then you should have sent me! If I'm the Boy-Who-Lived, obviously I'm the bigger target!" At the shifty looks in his parents eyes, he finally realized what had happened. "But you were too caught up in the glory of being the parents of the Boy-Who-Lived. You wouldn't give up the prestige and political power that gives you. If I'd been tucked away, you couldn't have used my fame. So you threw my defenseless sister into an abusive home, threw up a bunch of Dark wizard repelling wards, and walked away." He shook his head. "I'm through here."

"You will not be going anywhere, Harry." James said, using his connection to the wards to prevent Harry from escaping with a portkey or apparition. Who knows what that man's been teaching him?

"Really? And who's going to stop me?"

"The wards of the property will prevent you from leaving. I'm afraid that you have to stay here with us. We'll talk about Holly another time."

"Like hell." With that statement, Harry seemed to jump forward. He vanished with a flash of light.

James and Lily looked at one another, stunned. What the hell had just happened?

Harry reappeared inside of his room and grabbed his bag. He usually kept all of his belongings with him, since he often spent the night with his teacher. Harry reached into the pocket of his bag and pulled out a knut.

"Activate." Harry said, and he was whisked away.


Harry reappeared in the Headmaster's office of Hogwarts.

"Harry! It's nice to see you again. But I didn't think that you'd be back so soon. We don't have another lesson before school starts." Albus Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Did you know?"

"Know? About what, Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"My twin sister! Holly Rose Potter! She's been trapped with an abusive family!"

"Abusive?" Dumbledore asked, a hint of anger showing in his eyes. "Your mother assured me that her sister would be perfectly willing to look after yours. She insisted that Holly was perfectly happy the last time that she'd seen her. She told me that she had been getting reports."

"She lied." Harry snapped. "The only reports that they've been getting are the ones from Gringotts about the payment towards the Dursleys. I looked into her mind. Her sister is horrible. I won't leave my sister there! Of course, it'd be kidnapping, so…"

"Very well, Harry. As Head of the Wizengamot, I hereby authorize a team, consisting of Mr. Harry Potter, to locate Holly Rose Potter and ascertain her wellbeing. If she so desires, I authorize Mr. Harry Potter to take her under his protection." Dumbledore let the attitude slide and sighed. "I'm sorry, Harry. I should have-"

"It's not your fault." Harry said. "It's theirs."

"Good luck Harry." Dumbledore said, after reaching into his desk and handing Harry another knut.

Harry said "Activate!" and vanished again. He reappeared in Diagon Alley, where he knelt before jumping again. A flash of light replaced him as he disappeared.


Harry reappeared at the beginning of a street called Privet Drive. He remembered the address from the document on his father's desk. He stalked down the street, until he found #4. As he neared the house, he could feel something beginning to connect to him. It was like there had been a part of him missing, but he'd never even known. He realized what it was: the twin bond that he and this… Holly should have. He was surprised that they formed one. Normally, if they were separated before they'd even been together for 2 years, they wouldn't have been able to form a bond. The only way they would create one like this would be if they had formed one before they'd been separated, which would have been nigh-impossible.

Harry suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He spun around, lightning forming between his fingertips, even as he held his hand close, to hide the magic. But there was nothing there. The pain had faded almost instantly. Realizing what was happening, Harry felt an anger unlike anything he'd ever experienced before. He near sprinted to the door and his knock nearly blew the door in. He hissed as he felt another phantom pain, like he was thrown into something. Then, he felt an almost overwhelming fear. Harry may not have been able to help with the pain, but this he could handle. He took hold of his own fearlessness and tried to feed it across the bond. Moments later, the fear subsided, and was replaced with confusion. About half a minute later, the door was opened. A baby whale was in the doorway.

"Who're you?" He demanded.

"I am here to see Holly Rose Potter." Harry said coolly.

"What do you want with the frea-" Suddenly, a strange electrical charge entered the atmosphere. The lights began to flicker.

"Finish that word, and I will ensure that you can never speak again." Harry snarled.

"M-m-Mom!" Dudley Dursley shouted in fear as he ran, or waddled, to the living room.

Harry walked into the house and followed the bond to the staircase. He knew that his sister was there, but he didn't see her. Was she invisible? Then, he noticed the door.

Harry grabbed the lock and forced power to burst forth from within him. The lock was liquefied instantly. Harry tore the door open and saw a young girl, in ugly clothes far too big for her tiny frame, on a tiny mattress. She was obviously malnourished and had several bruises on her arm. She huddled away from the door, looking at Harry in fear.

"Holly?" Harry asked tentatively.

The girl shivered but nodded.

"I'm Harry. I'm your brother and I've come to get you out of here." Harry said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible. It was very difficult, considering that he was so furious.

The girl shivered. "b-Brother?" She shook her head. "No, no. It must be a trick. Stay away! Don't hurt me!" She cried out, terrified.

Harry was horrified. "I swear that I will never let anything happen to you. I will protect you, I promise." With that said, Harry reached into the cupboard and pulled the girl into a hug, being careful of her injuries. He picked her up.

"Is there anything here of yours?" Harry asked her. "You'll never be coming back, unless you want to."

She just shook her head and clung to Harry tighter. Harry turned towards the doorway and saw what had scared her. The Dursleys were glaring at him.

"Alright, boy. You've had your fun. Now put the girl back down and leave." The large man said.

"Really? So you can have your slave back?" Force slammed into Vernon Dursley, throwing him to the ground. "I should kill all three of you, but I'll let Holly decide who gets that pleasure. Harry carried his tiny twin sister out the door. As he crossed over the threshold, he released his power and everything electrical, or connected to an electrical socket, exploded.

He walked behind the house, to an enclosed area, and concentrated. A gentle, warm light encircled them both, before vanishing, taking the twins with it.


The light took them to the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron. Everyone around them paid no notice to the teleporting twins, due to Harry's advanced unnoticeable charm.

He carried Holly into the bar and walked up to the bartender. "I need a room for two. As secluded as we can get."

Tom nodded and gave him a set of keys. Harry went to the room and laid Holly onto one of the beds.

"I've got to go and do something, ok? Can you do me a favor and stay here?" Harry asked.

Holly nodded. She laid down and closed her eyes. "This is pretty good, for a dream." She mumbled as she fell asleep.

Harry layered healing spells over her, then exited the room, placing some special wards on it that would be very difficult to break. He made his way into the Alley, and then to Gringotts. He walked up to an open goblin.

"Hi, is Sharpclaw in? I need to speak to him about some things. Could you please tell him that Harry is waiting for him."

The goblin looked at him oddly. He'd only been working in this branch of Gringotts for that week, and he'd never seen a human like this before. He was surprised to see a passing goblin give him a nod in greeting.

A moment later, a goblin walked up. " Ah, hello Mr. Potter."

"Please, Mr. Sharpclaw. It's Harry. You're doing well? " Harry said to the goblin.

"Fine. I take it that you have something that you'd like to discuss?"

"Yes, I need your help… balancing the scales, as it were." The goblin gave him a grin, all teeth.

"Excellent. Right this way."

The first goblin was confused, until another walked up. "You have no idea what just happened, do you?"

"Not really. What wizard deserves that kind of respect, and is on such good terms with a goblin?"

"That was Harry Potter. He has never shown even a bit of disrespect towards a goblin. He is… special. He was named Goblin Friend for his defeat of Voldemort, as well as certain… other incidents.


Sharpclaw led Harry to his office. "Now, what do you need, Harry?"

"I found out that I have a twin sister."

Sharpclaw was surprised. "Really? And you didn't know about this because…?"

"She was sent away 'for her own protection'. My mother sent Holly to her sister, who was quite abusive."

"And you were understandably furious. How can I help you?"

"I want to destroy them. Utterly. The family name is Dursley, the father is Vernon and the mother is Petunia. They have at least one child and live at #4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. I don't care if you take every last bit of gold I have, I want them to suffer."

"I've never seen you like this before. May I ask what they did?"

"I found her in a cupboard. With a mattress in it. She was covered in bruises."

"I'll get right on it." Sharpclaw snarled. Child abuse was one thing that goblins did not tolerate. If the Dursleys were goblins, they would be killed. Since Harry was a Goblin Friend, the case was especially bad.

"Thank you, my friend. I'll bring Holly in sometime."

"It's not a problem. Goodbye, Harry."


Harry made a couple of stops before returning to the Leaky Cauldron. He picked up some restorative potions at an apothecary, so that Holly would heal better. He also stopped at Madam Malkins and picked up some clothes for Holly. He had to guess the sizes, but at least they would be better than what Holly was wearing now.

When Harry got back to the room, he saw that his wards were undisturbed. He dispelled them and opened the door. He nearly dropped his purchases. Lying on the bed, where Holly had been, was the cutest little black kitten he'd ever seen. Holly, though, was nowhere in sight.


Well, there's the first chapter. There was a glimpse of Harry's powers in there. He will have a few unique powers, an animagus form, and some skill with wandless magic. The name references his two greatest powers. I'll let people guess until I release the next chapter.

I've never seen a story where Harry is known to be the BWL and has a sibling, but the sibling is the one who is sent away and abused. I've decided that Harry's strength of will is unique. His siblings would (and will) be strong, but Harry is the only one who could live through the Dursleys and still be the pure hero we all know. Holly is not the broken child that most people would be, but she's still got some issues. One of which will be her relative inability to trust anyone but Harry. She will spend A LOT of time as a kitten.

For anyone who's wondering about things such as Harry's intellect, his money, or the events surrounding his past, just hold on. All will be explained. Probably.

Please review.
