Blair: Hey, who's this squirt?
Haley: Take that back!
Crystal: Calm down, this is Haley. An OC for my Harry Potter series.
Grace: Great, another OC. We just need to keep her away from Nihil.
Haley: Who?
Lunar: No one.
Crystal: Anyway, moving on to the Disclaimers.
Disclaimers: I don't own Harry Potter and some of the lines from the characters as well. I only own Haley and Lena so please, no flames. Oh and I'd like to dedicate this to my friend and fan MonkeyGirl2012, who's birthday is today though it's kind of nearly late. Still, hope she likes it.
Chapter 1: The Twin Souls
"Haley! Time for bed!"
"Aw! I wanna finish this chapter." I whined, as my big sister, Lena, smiled and shook her head before taking my book. "Lena, come on!"
"Haley, your book will still be there when you wake up." I sighed as I climbed into bed before she could even attempt to ruffle my black hair. "Beside, we have to wake up early anyway. We have to get those books from Grandma's house."
"Yeah, why aren't Mom and Dad coming home yet? Grand's funeral is coming up." I asked, as Lena sighed.
"Hale, Mom and Dad have a lot of things to do. I'm sure they'll find a way to come home." Lena said, kissing my forehead and ended up ruffling my hair after all. "Now, get some rest. We'll be leaving at ten."
"Okay." I said, as Lena turned off the light and left the room. Still, I looked at my picture from next to my bed. It was of my grandma and me. She died recently, leaving Lena and me her book collection. It's because of her that I even enjoyed reading and found the Harry Potter books. In fact, when I was nine my birthday present from her was the first Harry Potter book; she used to say I looked like a female version of Harry when I would read my books. Since then, I've read all of them; well not all of them yet. Lena won't let me read Deathly Hallows and just said; she keeps saying I'm too young for it. Still, I feel really sad. Grand was always supporting my reading and love for fantasy. She even didn't mind me reading manga, which other people keep telling me will rot my brain. I just…. I kind of feel empty now that she's gone. She's the one who would visit us all the time when Mom and Dad are gone. Oh that's right, I'm Haley Cho and I'm eleven at last. Well, not sure how I feel about it seeing as I have to start middle school in the fall but whatever.
The next morning, we went to our grandma's house and really I always loved her house. It's like a mini library with so many books. I used to think when I was little she had all the books in the U.S; now, I think she has all the best books ever created. I remember when I was little and couldn't read well, she'd read me a story from these books while I had a cookie or just lay down on the rub while listening to her. She even had a shelf of all my favorite books just for me when I came to visit. These were the books I'm dying to get back home; they're the last things of grandma I have left that share special memories. As I packed up my books, I saw a few familiar titles: Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Coraline, wait... what the. I pulled out a book I hadn't seen before labeled Soul Twins. Odd, Grandma never has a book like this before; as far as I know.
"Hey, Lena. Do you know this book? I've never seen it before." I asked, handing it to her.
"Hm, yeah I remember this. Grandma always had this idea of people having someone else in the world with the exact same soul somewhere." Lena said, with a small smile. "She wrote all her ideas down in a journal and as a present, Mom and Dad made it into a book for her."
"Really? Mom and Dad did that for her?" I asked, looking at the book. Mom and Dad love books too and really, I shouldn't be surprised they did this for Grandma but it's really nice of them.
"Yep, it was a Christmas present before you were even born." Lena said, handing it back to me. "I'm sure Grandma wanted you to keep it seeing as it's in your shelf."
"Are you sure?" I asked, as Lena nodded. I spent the whole day reading it and it did seem interesting; apparently souls don't have to have the same personality or even the same gender. Souls just share a quality that is special to those two alone making them like twins; like maybe they share the same soul mother or something. Still, wonder why Grandma put it in my shelf anyway? I was about to close it when I noticed something on the inner back cover. It was a list written in my Grandma's handwriting.
How to Meet your Soul Twin
1. Pray with all your heart and soul to connect with your soul twin.
2. Go to Sleep.
I stared at it. Some how, it's something Grand would write; simple yet kind of confusing. Still, I wouldn't mind meeting my soul twin; I wonder if it's a guy or a girl. I sat on my bed and shut my eyes tightly. 'Please, please, please; I want to meet my soul twin so much. I really do!' I prayed, my heart pounding in my chest now.
"Um, Haley? What are you doing?" I looked to see Lena standing in the doorway.
"Nothing." I said, quickly as I climbed into my bed sheets. God, that's kind of embarrassing.
"Okay? Anyway, get some sleep. We've got to get the reading room finished."
"Okay." I said, and cuddled into bed. I doubt praying will work on seeing my soul twin anyway. Well, it was fun while it lasted.
I landed with a slight thud on something and I heard a grown. Odd, I never fall out of bed and even if it did, why am I sitting up? I opened my eyes and things really are out of place. It looked like I was in a large cupboard, well large enough for someone to live in anyway and someone was sleeping in it; in fact, I was sitting on the person's legs.
"Dudley, get off." The person groaned and I squeaked a little. Dudley? Harry's cousin, Dudley? The person got up and turned on a light bulb, which was hanging from the angled ceiling. The person was a boy about my age with jet-black hair and emerald green eyes with glasses he quickly put on. Harry Potter was sitting in front of me. I was about to scream when Harry covered my mouth. "Please don't yell, you'll wake my aunt and uncle." I nodded and he removed his hand.
"How did I get here?"
"How should I know." Harry said, looking at me. I don't really blame him. How would you react if a strange girl appeared in your mouse hole of a room in nothing but her Pjs? I'm surprised he's so calm. But a though came to me.
"I think I know how I got here. It worked." I gasped, pointing at Harry. "You're my soul twin. Wow, that's really weird."
"What?"
"Soul Twin." I said, smiling. "We've got identical souls, our personalities are different but some how are souls are the exact same."
"How is that possible?" Harry asked shocked.
"No idea, I just can't believe I found my soul twin like this." I said, smiling but Harry looked confused.
"How do you know it's me though?"
"Well, you're the only one here to I guessed." I said, smiling. "I'm Haley, by the way; Haley Cho. And I know who you are; you're Harry Potter."
"How do you know that?" Harry asked, shocked.
"Well..."
"Up! Get up! Now!" I jumped, as I heard Aunt Petunia unlock the door and I looked at Harry. "Up!"
"We get it!" I yelled but the mad lady didn't say anything.
"Are you up yet?" She asked, as if she didn't hear me.
"Nearly." Harry moaned.
"Well, get a move on, I want you to look after the bacon. And don't you dare let it burn, I want everything perfect for Duddy's birthday." It's like I'm not even here. I wonder. I moved my hand to the door and some how it opened a little and Aunt Petunia looked inside. "Hurry up and get a move on!" She yelled and walked off. Harry and I looked at each other. She can't see me. This'll be so much fun.
"This is weird." Harry gapped as I grinned.
"And awesome!" I cheered, holding Harry's hand. "If you'd like, I can help you deal with the Dursleys. Its the least I can do to help you."
"I don't know..."
"Come on, they clearly are abusing you. If someone doesn't come to save you, then the least I can do is make it a little more bearable for you." I said, as Harry through a minute.
"Hurry up, boy!" Aunt Petunia yelled, and Harry nodded to me in silent agreement. From then on, I became Harry Potter's secret friend from the Dursleys and I couldn't have been happier. I'm so going to have fun with this.
