Document type: Alternate Universe (AU) fanfiction / Original character introduction fanfiction.

Source: "Harry Potter" book series,

Description: AU story. Harry was born a twin, and he was never separated from his twin sister, Cherry. Otherwise, I'll try to follow the line set up on the books.

Disclaimer and foreword:

I don't own anything in the "Harry Potter" universe, and I'm making this fanfiction for recreational purposes only. The "Harry Potter" (including "HP and the Philosopher's Stone", "HP and the Chamber of Secrets," "HP and the Prisoner of Askaban" and "HP and the Goblet of Fire") saga, along with its annexes ("Quiddich thruout the Ages" and "Fantastic beast and where to find them"), is property of J K Rowling, as well as all the characters recognisable as coming from the canon of the series. I might create personalities for characters who were named but never really developed in the books, but that doesn't make them mine. On the other hand, this story is mine, as well as any characters not recognisable from the books or movies.

I'll try to respect the books the most I can in this series, and as such I'll try to modify characters and settings the least possible, but I'm not making any promises. Besides, I'll have to edit, modify or chop out many scenes, as I am not planning on rewriting Rowling's work in its full extension. Nonetheless, I'll rewrite certain elements just because I thought they could have been more greatly exploited, but in case I'm about to quote a large portion of text from the canon, I likely will just put an A/N saying 'read the book.'

There are a few scenes and elements I think were better on the movies than on the books, so I might include them; otherwise, I consider myself a bit of a purist. By the way, my interpretation of the Hogwarts uniform is the same as in the books, which has nothing to do with the one seen on screen.

I'm putting lots of spoilers of the four books: You have been warned. I'm also using a technique of semi-omni-sapient narrator, which isn't either common or popular. About the style, it is my personal attempt at mimicking Rowling's style, yet I know it is going to be a bit heavier to read; moreover, I have a little bit of a problem with run-on sentences, and as a non-natural English speaker, I have a great deal of trouble at dealing with dialects (even thou WinWord self-recognices my style as "English (UK)"). Please bear with me in those two little details (as I'm actually trying to improve, not always with success), or tell me of techniques on how to do some self-improvement.

By the way, it is my personal opinion that the Harry of the beginning of the first book had a slave mentality. I don't like it, but I'll try to reflect it. Don't worry, it will dissapear by chapter two.

I was inspired to write this thanks to a story by Sailor J-Chan. I felt her story needed to be rewritten, and after spending three days without being able to stop having ideas on how to rewrite it, I gave in to the temptation. I have completely rewritten the characters and settings of her short story (not to say added plenty), so I know I'm not plagiarizing. I just wanted to state it clearly, though.

It has been called to my attention that this story seems to be flowing towards incest. I can tell you no to worry, as the sole idea revulses me. There might be some weird understanding between my two main characters, but nothing that will ever be remotely sexual.

Comments are always welcome.

On with the story.
