Prologue
Have you ever wonder if Harry Potter had a long lost sister? A sister that could change the whole setting but be more of a threat to Lord Voldemort? Well I've got news for you dear reader. Harry Potter indeed had a twin sister. A sister named Aeris Potter. She has something like Harry's scar but its more of a triangle on her hand. She has the same jet black hair has Harry and the green eyes like her mother but Voldemort never tried to kill her. When Voldemort tried to kill Harry and his spell backfired he kidnapped poor Aeris. Aeris was then raised for 3 years by Voldemort and some of his death eaters. They taught her dark magic and gave her the triangle shape scar on her hand. It was when she was three Snape found Aeris hiding in her bedroom at Lord Voldemort's house. Snape took pity of the poor girl and took her back to Hogwarts where he showed Albus Dumbledore the girl. Dumbledore allowed Snape and McGonagall to take care of Aeris. Snape gave her Evans as her last name since it was her mother's maiden name. For safety Snape or Dumbledore never told Aeris that Harry Potter was her twin brother but they thought she might find out for herself. During the day Aeris would stay in Dumbledore's office where he would let her play with Fawks. At night she stayed in McGonagall's office. For 8 years Aeris learned to become more of a witch and had a better view of the wizard world. She was free of dark magic and showed signs of her mother Lily Potter. On July 31st the day she turned 11 Dumbledore and Snape told her she was old enough to start school at Hogwarts. They took her to Diagon Alley where she got a wand, owl, and dress robes. They let her stay overnight at a "Hotel" so she could the train with the rest of the students. Now here begins the story of Aeris Evans.
Chapter 1
Aeris meets Harry
Finding a seat on this train is damn hard. Dumbledore told me not to sit with older kids. Why does all the new kids have to be hidden? I only made friends with one girl. Cho Chang. She was nice to me when I met her at Diagon Alley. She told me my Owl, Lynn. She is one of those Owls that look black as night with white spots here and there, a yellow beak and soft but green eyes like my own. Dumbledore allowed me to let Lynn sit on my shoulder on the train. Well now that I think about it maybe people don't want a owl that isn't in their cage sitting next to them on the train. I have looks don't get me wrong. The green eyes I got from my mother. The jet black hair from my father. My hair is also really long. Like it's halfway down my back long.
"Hey your Aeris Evans right?" A tall red hair boy asked. He had a twin who looked just like him smiling down at me.
"Uh yea. Who are you?" I asked. Lynn hooted at him.
"I'm Fred Weasley. This is my brother George. So we heard you lived at Hogwarts. Seems funny since we never seen you before." Fred said grinning down at my owl.
"Well Dumbledore said I wasn't allowed to see any of the students. He said he wasn't allowed to raise kids at Hogwarts." I said to Fred. George laughed and patted me on the back.
"Couldn't keep it a big secret with us. We saw you once last year. Yeah remember Fred? She was in McGonagall's room reading books on wolves?" George asked his brother.
"Yeah I remember. Well Aeris walk with us. We got seats up near the front Our pal Lee Jorden is there." Fred said.
Aeris followed Fred and George through Slytherin train car where she spotted a small blond kid who jeered at the twins.
"Fancy summer Weasleys? Or did you play poor and hanged around all summer living in that excuse of a home?" The small kid said.
"Hey shut your mouth Malfoy. Not everybody lives in a house like yours." Fred said turning a bit red. Malfoy just gave a nasty smile and turned to face me. He jumped a little and looked at me.
"Your Aeris Evens! Uhh hi names Draco Malfoy." Draco said. Lynn glared at him.
"Uh nice to meet you... Draco.." I said.
"Don't hang around those poor boys. Stay with us. Slytherin is a much better house then awful Gryffindor. Only the pure bloods are allowed in I'm afraid. You are pure blood correct Evens?"
"I guess. Dumbledore and Snape told me I was." I said to Draco. Draco gave me a smile. Fred and George looked surprised.
"You hang with Snape?" Fred said quietly. George nodded at Fred and turned to look at me.
"Yeah. Story goes I was found by Snape in a house and he took me to Hogwarts and once in awhile showed me how to make certain antidotes."
"See Weasley? She's a true Slytherin. Now go back to your train car and find other kids like Potter to bug." Draco said.
"Potter? Who's Potter?" I asked Draco. Draco looked at me shocked.
"You don't know who Harry Potter is?" Draco asked. I shook my head.
"Harry Potter is the only person who survived the killing curse and killed You Know Who. He got a scar but he's still a git. Met him up in Diagon Alley where he gave me a hard time. Just tried to be nice and all and he starts yelling at me. Nasty temper he's got. Stay away from him Aeris." Draco said.
"You nasty liar. Harry Potter is one of the nicest kids we met! Met him at King Cross and didn't know how to get to the Hogwarts express so Ron showed him. Oh Ron is our brother Aeris. He's starting at Hogwarts as well this year." Fred said giving Draco a dirty look. Draco just shrugged.
"Well Aeris are you staying?" Draco asked. I thought for a moment. Draco Malfoy... seemed like a nasty guy. He looked nasty. Slytherin was also the house where Dark Wizards are from. Fred and George seemed really nice though. Staying with them meant I could meet Harry Potter. This Potter kid I could ask questions about since I have a scar on my hand.
"Sorry Draco I have to pass. Maybe I'll see you around." I say and walked to the door that lead to the Gryffindor car.
"Fine Evans but mark my words you chose wrong. You'll be seeing me again." Draco said and slammed the compartment door close. Fred cheered and hugged me.
We walked into the Gryffindor car where some kids were already dressed. A cat here and there was walking up the hallway eying Lynn. Fred opened a compartment door and grinned.
"Hey Lee brought back the Aeris kid. Looks like Malfoy fancy's her." Fred said laughing. A tall black boy with fluffy hair who was already in his robes looked up from a book he was reading and beamed at me.
"Fancy's her huh? Well who can blame? She's cute. Her green eyes are super bright. Hey nice to meet ya. Lee Jorden is the name. Sit. The lunch cart will be here soon." I sat by the window while Fred sat next to me. Lee was right the Lunch cart came soon. Lee bought chocolate frogs while I bought Honeydukes cakes and shared them with Fred and George. We ate in silence for a little while. After Fred finished two Honey cakes he stood up.
"Aeris want to meet Harry Potter?" Fred asked me. I guessed my eyes grew extra bright cause he grinned and grabbed my hand pulling me out of the compartment. Fred knocked on the compartment door next to his own. He pulled it open and I saw a small red hair boy who looked like Fred a little bit. That was probably Ron. Then I saw a bushy brown hair girl with a small face who was busy reading a spell book. I looked to the left and saw a little pudgy face boy who was holding a fat green frog. Then I saw him. Harry Potter. His hair jet black and messy. His eyes bright green like mine. He wore circle glasses that looked like they could use a good repair. Then I saw the scar. It was on his head. A lightening shape one. Ron grinned at me and shook my hand.
"Bright green eyes. Long black hair. Black Owl. Yep your Aeris Evans! A legend! Like Harry here. Name is Ron Weasly. Uh Fred is my brother." Ron said turning red a little. I smiled at him.
"Nice to meet you Ron." Harry looked at me then my hand that had the triangle scar.
"I've never heard of you before... How are you a legend?" Harry asked still looking at my scar.
"Harry! She was kidnapped by You Know Who! He taught her dark magic until a teacher at Hogwarts found her. She was raised at Hogwarts where Fred and George spotted her in a classroom. Wow Aeris you must know your way around the castle right?" Ron asked.
"I uh... no... I only was allowed in certain rooms." I told Ron.
"So how did you get that scar?" Harry said pointing at my scar.
"Harry! She got it from You Know Who! He gave it to her to show people she was a dark baby or something like that." Ron said. Everyone looked at Ron.
"Well I think Aeris got it because You Know Who tried to turn her bad." The girl with the bushy hair said. She looked up from her book and glared at Ron.
"Oh go back to reading." Ron said.
"So Harry made friends with Ron I see. Who's the other two?" Fred asked. Harry looked at him then at the other two kids I didn't know. Well this guy over here is Neville Longbottom. Uh Trevor is his toad's name." He pointed to the pudgy boy by the window. He waved a cheerful hello at me and I smiled. "And the girl is Hermione Granger." Harry said pointing at the girl reading. She didn't look up from her book.
"So you know Dumbledore right?" Neville asked me.
"Yeah. I talked to him all the time." I said. Hermione closed her book and stood up.
"I think it's time we change into our dress robes. Will be there soon and I'm sure they won't like waiting." She said and walked out. Ron rolled his eyes.
"She's been like that all day. She's a nutter if you ask me. Well she is right. Come on then time to change. See ya Aeris. Maybe will be in the same house!" Ron said grinning at me. Fred poked me and pointed at the door that lead to the next train car.
"That door leads to the Girl's changing room. You can change in there." Fred said pointing at the door. He turned and opened his own compartment door. Lynn hooted. I patted her on the head and opened the door that led to the changing room. It was set where a bunch of white curtains placed. I could hear some girls talking about their summer and I spotted Hermione unpacking her robes from her trunk. She looked at me and sighed.
"I bet it's annoying that all kids are asking about your past. It's annoying Harry." Hermione said taking her shoes out. I found my own trunk and started to dig my own robes out. Hermione looked at Lynn and patted her on the back. Lynn hooted happily.
"It's not so annoying. I mean I went into the Slytherin car and met Draco Malfoy who thought I should join his group of friends. You group of friends seem nice." I told her.
"Hmph well Ron is a jerk. Harry and Neville seem nice. I think you and Harry are going to be stuck like glue. Draco Malfoy I've heard of. Don't talk to him Aeris. He's bad news." Hermione said. She walked over to a curtain dressing room and closed the curtain door. I sat there thinking. Draco was so nice to be though. I mean he smiled at me like a friend. Harry Potter sticking to me like glue? That makes no sense! Yeah were both legends but we have different last names. Potter and Evans.
"Aeris if you end up in Slytherin then you know Draco will follow you like a puppy. I heard Fred say Draco fancied you." Hermione said returning from the dressing room. She put her jeans and shirt into the trunk and shut it.
"What makes you think he won't follow me around even if I'm not in the same house as him? He said he'll talk to me again." I asked letting Lynn jump off my shoulder onto Hermione's trunk. I stood up and walked over to a dressing room and closed the curtain.
"Well if you don't like him then tell Dumbledore." Hermione said.
"Well its not easy. I mean Draco was so nice to me." I told her trying to put on my socks. I heard Hermione sniff.
"Well that's cause he doesn't want to be on your bad side. Think about it Aeris. If he's on your bad side then he's on Dumbledore's bad side. Dumbledore treats you like he's your father right?" Hermione asked. I stare at the curtain. Dumbledore was always there for me and so was Snape. I thought Snape as more as my father then Dumbledore.
"He does but another teacher treated me more like his daughter then Dumbledore." I said. I stepped out of the curtain area and walked over to my trunk. Hermione took out her brush and started to brush her hair.
"I was raised as a muggle. Like Harry so all this magic stuff is new but lucky for me I've been reading books about it. Hogwarts is filled with secrets that are waiting to be found." Hermione said looking at a book called Hogwarts A History while still brushing her hair.
"I've only been allowed in a few classrooms and Dumbledore's office during the school year. During the summer I travel with my friend to a beach. Dumbledore lets me." I told Hermione. She closed her book and tossed the book and the brush into her trunk. Lynn flew off her trunk and onto my shoulder again.
"Hermione stood up and walked over to the door that lead to the train car.
"We should head back. I'm sure Fred is waiting for you." Hermione said and opened the door. I followed her back to the compartment where Fred was. Hermione opened the door and Fred looked up. He smiled and brushed a strand of hair out of his face.
"Looking good Aeris. You too Hermione." Fred said. Hermione blushed and found a seat next to Lee and sat down. She looked at the cover of Lee's book. Fred moved over so I could sit. He looked at Lynn and patted her on the back. The train stopped and George yawned.
"I'm starving. Hope theirs Chicken!" George said and ran out of the compartment. Fred, Lee, Hermione and I walked off the train into the nice but kinda chilly night. Lynn snagged a lighting bug out of the air and ate it. Hermione tugged at my sleeve and pulled me towards Ron and Harry who were walking near a huge man with black bushy hair wearing some sort of brown vest and brown pants. He carried a lanterns and was shouting at other first years to follow him. He walked over to the lake where Dumbledore once told me a giant squid lived. When I got closer there were tiny boats with a small lantern on the front. The huge man said 3 to a boat. Hermione and I plus a girl with curly blond hair who was called Lavander Brown stepped inside a boat.
"Oh what a beautiful owl!" Lavander said pointing to my owl. Lynn hooted to her.
"Thanks. Her name is Lynn." I said. Lynn looked over at me, her eyes big and bright. All off a sudden the boat started to move by itself. Lavander squealed and jumped a little bit. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Draco with two guys I've never seen before. He was talking to them when he spotted me. He gave a quick wave and went back to chatting with them.
"So that's Draco. Well he looks mean but is nice to you." Hermione said.
"Well I've never even heard of him before." I said.
"I've had. His dad works for the Ministry of Magic. He's buddy buddy with Fudge. Rumor has it Draco lives in a huge house. Must be nice. He's a only child." Lavander said. I looked over at Draco who was laughing at what one of his friends said.
"Were here!" The huge bearded man said. He was right. The Hogwarts front steps were in front and people were leaving their boats. Lynn hooted and flew off into the night in the direction to where the owl tower was. Lavander waved goodbye to her and followed us inside. I don't remember the front entrance to Hogwarts but it was all stone with a bunch of steps that led to the main halls. The other first years were looking around and pointing at paintings of witches and wizards who were looking at us. Someone poked me in the back and I turned. Draco smiled at me.
"Students follow me!" Said a old witch I knew. Professor Mcgonagall. The other kids followed her up the steps into the great hall where a bunch of older students watched us walk up to the front where I saw Dumbledore. He smiled at me. We all formed into a long line and watch as Mcgonagall went up to Dumbledore, whisper a few words to him and left. My stomach turned. I did not want to be in Slytherin.
