Harry and Riley Potter: The Tale of the Broken Hearts. Harry Potter Fanfic.

Authors Note: What if Harry had a twin sister? What is "The boy who lived" was "The twins who lived"? I'm a Genius! (Lolz) Not to brag or anything, but I think this is the best tearjerker fan fiction ever! TADA! Oh yeah, Riley has a scar of a heart; Symbolizing her heart of gold.

Prologue (In Riley's POV)

Not many people focus on me, asides from Harry. Not many newspapers read, "Riley Lillian Potter." Apposed to, "Harry James Potter" on top of the bloody newspapers. But, I have my brother, Harry, to help me through my problems, obstacles and more often than not; beatings from my Uncle Vernon. And he knows how I feel, because he is treated almost exactly how I am. All I wanted to do is to give my "family" love and happiness. And starvation, illness and daily scars (Physically and mentally) are the only answers I am given. Harry is the one of the only people I trust anymore. And I am one the shyest people on the face of the Earth and can barely talk to anyone that I am not familiar with. Sometimes, I am baffled to recognize I am in Gryffindor. But, if miracles grow on trees, I will have a lot better this year than any other year.

Chapter 1: Birthday Presents and Mysterious Love Letters?

Harry's POV

I and Riley arrived at The Burrow by Professor Dumbledore. It was me and Riley's birthday, so I, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George and Ginny, planned a surprise birthday party for her upstairs and I got her something she has always wanted; A Leonburger Puppy. Hogwarts allows dogs now so, why not? And she can have company when she is alone! I hope she has the best birthday ever. She is the one who deserves it the most.

Riley's POV

I landed, well collapsed on the floor of the burrow and got myself up from to the wooden floor. And once I got up, and of course, Mrs. Weasly rushed over to me and started to freak out. "Oh my gosh, Riley! Are you okay?" She asked me as she swept the dirt of my clothes. "Yeah, I'm fine." I answered. "You can unpack upstairs if you like, Sweetheart. You can sleep in Ginny's room like you always do. You love to have sleepovers, don't you?" Mrs. Weasly asked. I and Ginny are the definition of 'Best Friends'. We get along PERFECTLY. "Sure. I'd like that." I said. I carried my trunk up the staircase and knocked on Ginny's door. She opened and I smiled at her. She rushed up and hugged me with a bone crushing hug. "Riley, what are you doing here!?" She asked me. "Me and Harry just got here. How is your holiday so far?" I asked. "Very nice. Dean and I broke up, though." She said. "Oh my Merlin! What happened?" I said as we sat on her bed and started talking. "Well, we started to be more like friends than boyfriend and girlfriend. So, we decided to just be friends." She explained. "Well, that's too bad." I said, sympathetically. "So, do you have any crushes or boys that I don't know about?" She said scooting closer to me. "Well, there is this one boy I like." I said, shyly. "Oh my gosh, who!?" She asked, excitedly. "Well, don't laugh; I think Neville Longbottom is adorable. And he is my best guy friend." I said. "I think you two would be really cute together." She said. I smiled, shyly. "Well, how about you? You have any crushes that you're hiding from me?" I asked. "Well, I still think your brother is really cute….." She said, while blushing. "Hey, how about you ask him tonight! That would be perfect!" I said, enthusiastically. "Yeah, I think so also!" She agreed. We were just talking about boys and school until we got a knock on the door. "Come in." Ginny yelled. "Riley, You in here?" Ron asked. "Yep, I am." I said with the shy and quiet voice I've always had. "Well, all of us have a surprise for you." He said with a smile. 'Uh-Oh' I thought to myself. "Ok. Your room, I guessing." I said. "Yep." He responded. "Ok. Ginny, want to join me?" I asked her politely. "Did you have to ask me?" She asked me. "I guess not." I said. We walked down the small hallway to Ron room. As I opened the door, to my great surprise, was a whole birthday party with chocolate cake, presents and balloons. I gasped. "HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY HARRY AND RILEY!" Everyone yelled. "Awww…..You didn't have to do that for me." I said, speaking to everyone around me. "Yeah we did! It's your 17th birthday," Hermione said with a warm smile. "Who wants to open their presents first?" The Fred and George asked frantically. "How about Riley" Harry suggested. "Are you sure? "I asked. "Why not?" He smiled. "Okay." I said. I was actually quite exited. "Mine first!" Ginny said excitedly as she handed me a purple box with a blue bow around it. I gently took off the bow and lifted the top of the medium sized box; to find a beautiful powder blue dress with a sweetheart neckline. "Ginny, thank you so much!" I said hugging her. "You're not done yet." She said releasing me from our hug. "There's more?!" I asked. She nodded her head and picked the box up and researched it once more. I found a silver locket with a sapphire stone in the middle of it; a pair of silver heels; a makeup bag plum full of all kinds of blush, lipstick, mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss; and the most important one of all….a picture of my mom at the yule ball wearing the same exact thing. I felt a tear stream down my cheek. "Thank you so much, Ginny." I said. "You're very welcome, Riley." She responded. I shyly smiled and scooted closer to Harry and leaned my head on his shoulder. "How about you go next, Harry." I asked my older brother. "Sure. You okay?" He asked, worriedly. "Yeah. Just a little tired." I said, smiling weakly. "Open mine." I suggested to him. "Sure." It was an enchanted gift box with a snitch flying around on a warm summer morning. I got him a signed quaffle of his favorite quidditch team; The Hollywood Harpies. I also got him some treacle tarts and a nice black jumper with the words, "Quidditch is life." On the back of it. And, the picture of all of the Dumbledore's Army at our monthly get together and that day we went to the beach. We were all laughing hysterically as we were pretending to act like Muggles. He opened the box and I immediately saw his face light up with happiness. He smiled the most when he saw the picture of the get together at the beach. I smiled at his reaction and he pulled me close to him, stroking my hair. "Thank you, Riles." He said as squeezed me tighter. "You are welcome, Buba." He let go of me and we continued on with the party. I got a box of sweets from Ron; a book about Healers and Mediwitches from Hermione and a box of WWW from Fred and George. Harry got a broom servicing kit from Ron; a book about Magical Creatures from Hermione and a box of WWW from Fred and George. I thought we were all done until I saw a card left behind. The card read, 'Riley' on it so I grasped it in my delicate hands. I opened the card that had a note that said, "Go to Ginny's room to find your surprise, Harry." I suspiciously glanced at my brother, who was grinning ear to ear. I walked down the hallway to Ginny's bedroom. I opened the door to find the most adorable thing on planet Earth, a puppy. Not just a puppy, a Leonburger puppy! I rushed over to the puppy and picked it up and hugged it. The puppy was rather large and had a baby blue bow tied around its neck. It licked my face rapidly and I laughed to tears. "You like my gift?" Harry said with one of the goofiest smiles I saw him make in a while. "I love it so much, Harry! Thank you so much!" I said as I kissed his cheek. "I found him at Honeydukes while we were birthday shopping on Sunday. He was in the window and I knew that you would love him." He explained. "What are you going to name the little guy?" Ron asked. "Well, he looks like a Mason." I said, stroking his soft, velvety fur. "He does, doesn't he?" Hermione commented. Harry got a name tag and, since we are at age to do magic outside of Hogwarts, got a blue dog nametag and murmured a spell and the name 'Mason' appeared on the tag. He connected the tag to a chain and put it around his neck. "Now his name is officially Mason." Harry said, showing a warm, comforting smile. "Thank you, Harry!" I said running to him, giving him the largest hug that someone could ever imagine. "Well, duh!" He said jokingly. I laughed and planted a kiss on his cheek. All the sudden, we heard a pecking noise on the window, sounding like an owl, and Ginny opened it to let in the owl. And surprisingly enough, it was Neville's barn owl, Melena, and she flew in and handed me a letter. "There is a glass of water if you want a drink." I said as the owl walked to the side table and started to sip the water. I opened the letter, while everyone watched in suspense, and I gently ripped open the letter and saw Neville's handwriting.

Dearest Riley,
