Chapter 1: The Letters
'whoosh'
The sound of the owl coming through the window was easily recognized by the members of the potter family. 11 year old James Potter looked up from his cereal to see that the owl was sitting front of him on the table, James was a little taller than most 11 year olds, and had unruly black hair, that came just down to his eyes and just to the nape of his neck, and framing his curious blue eyes were a pair of circle rimmed glasses. "huh? But I never get post" He hardly noticed the faces of glee on his parents faces, until he saw that the post was sealed with the famous Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry seal. Looked up at his parents he quickly ripped the letter open and started cheering wildly.
Dear Mr. Potter
You have been accepted to come to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed in this letter is your list of books and supplies that you will be required to bring to school. Please be sure to board the Hogwarts Express on Sept 1st at platform 9 3/4.
Sincerely
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
As James hugged his parents he couldn't stop smiling, "well I should have been expecting it" he boasted "I mean, remember that one time when I accidentally blew up the vase above the fireplace? I am obviously a wizard" James dad chuckled, he was used to his antics and bragging, and he also knew that James never went a day without practicing on his broomstick "so" he said "do you think your going to try for the quidditch team in your second year?" James looked up at his dad and grinned "obviously dad, and I will probably be the best seeker Gryffindor has ever seen!" James mum sighed at this "now James" she began "you can't be too sure that you'll end up in Gryffindor, remember I was in Ravenclaw so there is a chance you could end up in that house" James laughed, probably a little too hard "come on mum! Like I'll up there, I'm a shoe-in for Gryffindor!"
"ok ok! Fine, But lets go to Diagon Alley and start shopping for your things, here is your list" She quickly pulled another letter out of the envelop before James could get to it. "Ok now we should just go ahead and go today, seeing as school starts in a few weeks" James and his dad grinned at each other, they both shared the same crazy but adorable grin, and followed James mum to the fire, Some floo powder was quickly thrown in.
"Diagon Alley!"
Halfway across Britain another boy received a letter the same as the young boy James. "Mum! Dad! I got it! I got the Hogwarts letter!" "that's great peter!" they shouted together as their boy ran downstairs. Peter was a little chubby and short, and had mousy brown hair, his brown eyes were usually full of curiosity. "congrats pete" his dad said as he patted him on the back" His mum hugged him warmly "now lets head to Diagon Alley and get your things" she said. They worked their way to the fire and flooed to the same place as young James.
"Diagon Alley!"
A young black haired boy looked out the dusty window, and opened it just in time for a brown owl to come flying inside "took you long enough" he mumbled as he took the letter off the owls foot. The boy was also a little tall, his hair was long and went to his shoulders, it was usually hanging in his face a little. "Alright then" he said aloud as he walked downstairs, passing by the beheaded house elf plaques on the wall and the room with the family tree, silently wishing he wasn't on it. As he came into the kitchen he saw the house elf Kreacher cooking some food and his mother at the table.
He cleared his throat, the house elf looked up for a moment before turning back to the food, but his mother took no notice. "Um" he said "I got my Hogwarts Letter along with my list of things I need to get" His mother looked up at the mention of the letter "well Sirius" she said "I hope we have another Slytherin among us" Sirius looked up "Like hell" he said bravely "I'm not going to be another Slytherin, and I hope I've made that clear" anger flashed over her eyes before quickly turning to a sympathetic look "but Sirius dear" she began "everyone in the family is Slytherin, and you should become one too" Sirius continued to glare "but what about dear Andromeda?" he asked, his mother decided to ignore this comment, but Sirius could see her eyes twitching, his cousin(and his favorite relative) had been considered a blood traitor ever since she was accepted into the Gryffindor house three years ago, a shame to the family, as his mother said. He knew that his mother would literally disown him if he was put in Gryffindor, but he hardly cared, he decided long ago that he wouldn't become another slave to the supposed 'Dark Lord' that everyone in his family preened over.
"Well then" he said as he walked to the fireplace "I'm going to Diagon Alley to get my things, try not to miss me too much" He chuckled as he stepped into the fireplace, he loved to see his mother mad, but before she could glare at him he threw the floo powder down.
"Diagon Alley!"
A young boy with scars on his face saw the owl flying towards him, when he opened up the letter his eyes opened wide in shock, but his letter was slightly different. At the bottom of the letter it said:
P.s. Yes Mr. Lupin we are aware of your 'condition' a place will be provided for you every full moon for your transformation. We see great promise in you and do not want to miss an opportunity to teach someone like you.
"but.." Remus I thought I wouldn't get accepted, he was happy for a moment but also worried, for this young boy was plagued with the curse of the werewolf "I never thought I would get accepted, I'm glad all that studying didn't go to waste" He had been studying almost non-stop for the past few months with some of his dads old textbooks, he never went outside for fear that he would make friends with someone, he didn't want them to hate him if they found out his secret, so he avoided making friends altogether. Remus was the same height as most 11 year olds, his brown hair barely want to his shoulders, but it was almost always pulled into a ponytail, his gray eyes were usually downcast, but when he smiled they lit up nicely.
"Dad?" he said as he got inside, his dad was on the couch reading the daily prophet when his son walked in "what is it kiddo?" he asked "um, I got my letter" His dads eyes widened just like Remus's had, Remus noticed this and quickly started talking again "Dad before you say anything they did write in the letter that they would give me a place for the full moon that way I wont hurt anybody, please let me go, I want to go to Hogwarts more than anything, and I am just as scared as you are about my condition but Dumbledore said everything would be fine…. Please?" There were almost tears in young remus's eyes, and his dad noticed this "Ok" he said "But if anything happens, you are coming back home" Remus nodded "Ok lets go to Diagon Alley then" His dad said as he walked to the fireplace, and with Remus smiling more than any normal kid should, they flooed directly to Diagon Alley"
Two twin girls sat in front of a fire, staring into the flames "what are we going to do?" said one twin to the other "I don't know" said the girl "everyone's gone, and we only have inheritance to keep us alive" The other twin nodded "we just need to get to Hogwarts, then we might be better off". The first twin, known as Maya, squeezed her eyes shut and her hair changed from a long brown color to a shorter silver style, her hair came just down to her neck, and was slightly spiked, a few strands went over her eyes. It was her favorite style. Her twin Kamiya repeated the action and her hair went from the same brown color to a curly black color that went a little past her shoulders, this was her favorite style. Twin metamorphagus's were very rare, but it did happen. The two twins smiled at each other as they laid down in front of the fire, soaking in the warmth, even though it was summer, inside the house was unusually cold, in the upper rooms you could see your breath in the air, but it was hard to keep the house warm due to its enormous size and the amount of charms and spells placed on it, which the twins were unable to remove.
A little later they were awoken by an owl tapping on the window, Maya half walked, half crawled to the window to let the annoying sleep disturbing nuisance inside. She saw that the sun was coming up and guessed that it was around 6:30 or so. She watched the owl fly around before it landed on Kamiya's back. Maya laughed as she watch Kamiya twitch in her sleep trying to get rid of the annoying thing, she soon woke up and found that the annoying 'thing' was an owl "oooo post" she said sleepily as she took the letters from the owl. One glance at the letter told Maya that the post was a little more special than a letter from Gringotts or the book store that Kamiya favored, these letters had the Hogwarts emblem on them. Kamiya and Maya squealed in delight as they quickly opened the letters. Kamiya's read:
Dear Miss Amontillado
You have been accepted to come to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed in this letter is your list of books and supplies that you will be required to bring to school. Please be sure to board the Hogwarts Express on Sept 1st at platform 9 3/4.

Kamiya started giggling again, and Maya raised an eyebrow "oh come on" she said "you can't be that excited! We both knew we were going to go to Hogwarts!" It was now Kamiya's turn to raise an eyebrow "oh but you weren't so sure if you were going to go, now let me look at your letter I want to see what Dumbledore said to you" Maya quickly backed off "No its my personal business" "oh come on I'm your sister" "back off!" "no!" as the two were arguing Maya was backing into a wall, but they didn't realize it until it was too late, Maya's fingers touched a silver plaque on the wall and there was a small sizzling sound and Maya immediately jerked herself from the wall and put her fingers in her mouth Damnit! Silver, it hurts… Her eyes were starting to water up "Oh merlin! Maya I am so sorry! Here let me see, does it hurt?" Kamiya apologized over and over as she looked at Mayas burnt fingers. "I'm fine don't worry" Maya assured "lets just go to Diagon Alley and get our stuff" Kamiya nodded and apologized one more time before heading towards the fire "so what did Dumbledore say?" she asked before stepping in and grabbing the powder "I'll tell you later" Maya said as she stepped in next to her sister.
"Diagon Alley" they said in union.
Hope you guys enjoyed the 1st chapter, I have most of the storyline planned out, so the chapters should be done fairly quickly, unless I get caught up in costumes or something. Sorry that there wasnt much on peter, I dont like him too much but I'm still going to try and get more of him into the storyline.
Please send some reviews:)
