A/N Please Read This First
Disclaimer and warnings- I do not own any Harry Potter characters or the plot lines in the books. All I claim are my OCs and the ideas I came up with. If something I write seems familiar, I apologize in advanced, I did not mean for it to. I have tried to be as original as possible. This story contains both het and slash HPSB and RLOC.
Character Summary and items needed to understand my alternate universe:
Harry has a twin sister named Arianna Lillian Potter (aka. Ria or Riana).
Arianna has lived with the Dursleys, instead of living in the cupboard they shared Dudley's second bedroom. She has been with Harry on all his adventures.
Arianna is bound to Harry- the twin bond allows her to feed him power to keep him alive. This combined with his mother's sacrifice is what allowed Harry to survive the killing curse.
Both Arianna and Harry are Gryffindors; they are best friends with Ron and Hermione.
In 5th year Arianna was the one to be used to lure Harry to the Department of mysteries. She was actually captured, during a Hogsmead weekend, and tortured. Sirius is still alive (a/n I love Sirius so he will not die ever).
During her torture, a spell went wrong and Arianna ended up blinded.
Because this is the wizarding world Arianna was able to use spells to see out of her familiars eyes and use her bond with her brother and best friends to use their eyes as well. Due to these facts and other reasons she was able to stay in training with Harry and is able to duel with the best of them.
HBP did not happen. Harry, Arianna, Hermione, and Ron spent years 5,6,7 receiving extra training from Dumbledore, the teachers, and the order. In year 6 the kids were pulled out of regular school, and only received combat training that is specialized for their strengths.
Arianna, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are known as the Bandits, the best combat team of the war.

Looks of Group
Harry is 5'11 due to a magical growth that helped him overcome the neglect from the Dursley's. He has raven black hair that falls slightly past his shoulders, he keeps it tied back, with the tips dyed red and green eyes.
Arianna is 5'6 for the same reason Harry has achieved his height. Her waist length raven hair, with purple streaks, frames a face identical to her mother's including the same green eyes, now somewhat milky due to her blindness, she shares with her mother and brother. She is considered to be one of the prettiest and most sought after girls in school.
Ron is 6'3 with red hair streaked with black and silver that goes to just above his shoulders. The student population considers him pretty attractive.
Hermione is 5'7. Her hair has straightened into elegant waves and it has darkened into deeper brown streaked with blue, she wears it just past her shoulders blades.
Miscellaneous and looks for more than one character
All four of them have the cartilage in their left ears pierced with a golden ring.
The girls also have matching diamond and emerald double piercing.
Hermione and Ron have been dating since the middle of 6th year.
They have wicked minds for pranks that they used against Sirius and Remus during training.
Also all four each have a phoenix (Fawkes) tattooed on their upper right arms and their animagus forms on their left shoulder blades behind their hearts.
Summer after 5th year the Dursleys were attacked while in London and killed by Death Eaters.
All four of them live with Remus and Sirius in a redone Grimmauld Place (the order felt that now the six of them were living there permanently they should redo the interior of he Black House).
The final battle has just happened as the story starts. The date the attack was on was September 1st about 3 hours before what would have been their 7th year was about to start.
The familiars for the group are:
Hedwig and an ashwinder named Edana, flame in Gaelic, for Harry
Arianna has a phoenix named Jalen, bird of light, and a big black dog called Snuffles that was a gift from he godfather on her 16th birthday- the first day she was able to be off bed rest after her torture. Arianna usually bond with Snuffles to see during battle, Snuffles is trained to act as a seeing-eye dog and would do anything to protect and help her. Jalen is the fastest way for the Bandits to communicate and travel.
Ron has a Red Tail Hawk called Devlin, meaning fierce, and a black panther named Balin, meaning night. Ron has trained Balin to fight in battle; he is a fierce protector of the Bandits. Devlin is used as a scout, a searcher, and a messenger.
Hermione has Crookshanks and an owl named Jada, meaning wise. Hermione uses her familiars for scouting and spying on DE meetings. Her owl also delivers letters.
I am not sure if she will have visions in the past because she already knows what is to happen.
If you have any questions about this world please review and let me know. I will try to respond ASAP. Also I don't know how fast I will be updating this, I am in school and trying to keep up with everything is difficult and school comes first.
