The Brother I Never Knew

by annabeth04

My life was turned around when I got my letter from Hogwarts. Just a few minutes later Hagrid came and ruined it. My mother turns out to be my aunt and my father my uncle. Lily and James Potter are my parents, but no one knows about me, unlike my famous older brother, Harry Potter. This is my runoff series of Harry Potter. Please review and tell me what you think.

1. Chapter 1

"Mom!" I shouted down the hallway to the kitchen. "I got a letter!"

I ripped it open as my mom came into the hall.

"What's it say?"

"Dear Ms. White, You have been excepted into the Hogwarts school of Witch and Wizardry!" I said with a smile on my face. "At the end it says: We await your owl. Whatever that means."

"Elizabeth!" my mom said. "I'm so proud of you!"

"I can't wait to get everything!" I said and looked over my list, I started to frown. "Where are we going to find all of this in Britain?"

There was a knock on the door. I went and answered it. Standing there was the tallest man I had ever seen. He was a round man with a large, black beard and long black hair.

"Come on in." I said.

He had to hunch over to get in and he couldn't stand straight up in the low hallway.

"Thank yeh fer sendin' me a owl, Mrs. Endrophy," he said. "Let meh explain everythin' to yer nephew."

I looked at my mom. I started to say something, bit changed my mind.

"What do you mean nephew?" I asked. "This is my mom, not my aunt. Right?"

"Yeh haven't explained." he said and repeated getting softer and softer shaking his head.

"What do you mean?" I asked. "What do you mean?!"

I was getting angry. Nephew! Mrs. Endrophy! I couldn't believe this! My mom is actually my aunt! Where is my mom!?

"Honey," my 'mom' said to me. "Go upstairs for a moment."

"No!" I said. "I want to hear this!"

I couldn't believe this. My whole life is a lie!

"Listen to yer aunt." the man said.

I stomped upstairs to my room. I slammed the door and went straight to my bed. I started to cry.

"WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHIN'!" I heard the man bellow at my 'mom'. "WE CAN"T LEAVE HER IN THE DARK ABOUT THIS! VOLDEMORT IS GOING TO COME BACK! DON"T YOU SEE! WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION!"

Voldemort? What kind of name is that? I giggled at the thought. Then I remembered. My life is a lie. My 'mom,' if I can call her that, lied to me. She lied to me my whole life. I couldn't believe she kept up that charade my whole life. I opened my door a crack to hear what was going on. She was crying.

"I couldn't tell her, Hagrid," she told the man. "It was never the right time. She's just to young to know."

"Well, we should at least tell her about her parents," Hagrid said. "Lily and James Potter died protecting her. She has the right to know that much."

"Fine," she said in a harsh tone. "But she has to stay at Hogwarts from here until summer. I am doing all I can to protect her."
