Natasha McCulloch waved goodbye to her family and friends as she boarded the plane to England. She was very scared. It wasn't that she was going on the plane…she had been on many in her lifetime. Or that she was going to England; she had always wanted to go. But the scary part was that she was now going to a different school and she was finally going to meet her real brother. She had found out a week ago that Harry Potter, the boy who lived, was her twin. Natasha sat down quickly and looked out the window not noticing anything that was happening outside, but thinking about what had happened last Monday.

Natasha was sitting in class working on her Transfiguration homework when her headmistress walked in and asked for her to come upstairs with her. 'What have I done wrong? Why do I have to be taken out of my favourite class to go to Professor Cassiopeia's office?' she thought. She walked silently behind her headmistress. When they got to the door Professor Cassiopeia looked at her with a small smile and whispered the password to her office. When they both walked in, the tall chairs in the office were filled with the two most unlikely people in the world. First of all there was the new Mistress of Magic, Callisto River, and sitting in the chair beside her was Professor Dumbledore. Natasha stood shocked at the company and then quickly sat down opposite the new guests.

"Miss. McCulloch I called you up to my office to discuss a very important issue with you." Said Professor Cassiopeia in a worried voice.

Natasha looked at her wanting to know what was going on. "What have I done wrong? I handed in all my homework and I swear that whatever happened to the broomsticks for the Ares team was not my fault…okay maybe it was but they so deserved it!" Natasha said very quickly. By the look on Professor Cassiopeia's face that was not why she was here. 'Shit' she thought to herself.

"That is not why you were sent here. However, I will have think about deducting house points from Pegasus. As you will no longer be a student here I will have to think over this."

"WHAT! I can't be expelled you are the only school that will accept someone…like me!" Natasha said quickly and worried.

"Not anymore. You have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Professor Cassiopeia said with a very excited look.

Natasha looked at her and then at Dumbledore. 'What did he say? Professor Dumbledore is going to allow someone…like me…to come to his school.'

"But...how? Why?" She asked confused.

Now there was silence. All three adults looked sad and worried. Professor Dumbledore was the first to speak up.

"Voldemort is coming after you for your powers and has just recently found out who you are related to." He said is a voice that was almost too quiet to hear. 'What? Why would Voldemort be after me? I'm not a threat. Also to whom am I related to?'

"Please sit quietly until I have finished what I am about to say." Natasha nodded her head and looked uneasily over at him.

"About sixteen years ago Lord Voldemort fell, by none other than Harry Potter." Natasha nodded, why was this old man telling her this when she already new?

"Well Harry Potter was not the only person to have survived that night. You also survived." Natasha looked at him if he was crazy.

"You are Harry Potter's twin sister." He said calmly as he let the shock sink in.

"WHAT! THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. A, HARRY POTTER AND I BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT LAST NAMES AND B, WE DO NOT LOOK ALIKE…EXCEPT FOR THE HAIR PART. BUT THAT IS SO NOT POSSIBLE!" Natasha said angered that this old man was telling her this lie.

"Miss McCulloch! Please settle down. Wait until Professor Dumbledore finishes his story." Professor Cassiopeia said sternly.

Dumbledore continued on as if nothing had happened "You were not in the house the night of the attack, you had been at St. Mungo's. You had fallen ill and your mum and dad had brought you to the Hospital the night before. When St. Mungo's found out about your parents, you were sent to Canada to hide from Voldemort. Voldemort,we realize, must have thought that he had killed you when the nursery part of the house had fallen in. However he now knows that you are still alive and finds you a threat. Since you have your strange power and you are Harry Potter's sister." He took a quick breath and continued on.

This did not make any sense to her. How could this be? She had grown up with her mother, father and brother. They were all muggle's but still. She did look a bit like Harry. She had his nose, hair colour and eye shape but that was about it. She had always been called The Girl Who Lived and now she understood why. But my eyes are brown she thought to herself.

"Harry does not know about this yet as we had to tell you first." Dumbledore said as Natasha clued in again.

"Why haven't you told him yet? He has the right to know just as much as I do. He'll flip when he finds out, you realize this, right?" Natasha said with a laugh.

"This is no laughing manner MissPotter," said Callisto River, who spoke for the first time that night.

"Don't call me MissPotter. I am not a Potter, I grew up as a McCulloch." Natasha said with a huff.

"Your name will have to be changed to Potter when you are moved to England to go to school." Mrs. River said in a stern voice.

"I'm not moving! I want to stay here. I like this school and if you haven't noticed most people think I'm normal here!" Natasha yelled at the Mistress for Magic and jumping up at the same time.

"Miss McCulloch…I mean Potter…I mean…Natasha stop this right now you will not talk back to your superiors and whatever she says goes. Now sit down!" said Cassiopeia.

Natasha sat down in a huff,confused and angered. Dumbledore looked at her sadly. "Miss. McCulloch Potter you have to understand, everyone thought you were dead and now we know you are alive, along with Voldemort. He will come after you. I am sorry. You have to get to safety or you will be killed. We would have told you before if we had known you were alive. We are not sure why St. Mungos did not tell us that you were alive sixteen years ago. Your family has been notified and you will be coming to England in a week's time. You will be sent to Hogwarts, and we will talk some more on this issue along with Harry Potter. Then you will get sorted into a house at Hogwarts and join your classmates. School will go on normally and life will continue. I am sorry." Dumbledore said once again. Natasha looked at him almost believing him. 'But how could life go back to normal?' Natasha just nodded her head.

"Alright I have to get back to school as there are many things I have to do and tell." Dumbledore said cheerfully and flooed himself back to Hogwarts.

"I also have to go and I hope you are ready in a week. Your family has been told what is to happen and when you get back to your room you will find all your stuff there. You will be taking a plane on December 18th to England. Here is your ticket." Mrs. River handed Natasha her plane ticket.

"When you land you will find that all your stuff is gone you need not to worry as your stuff has arrived at Hogwarts. You will then be called to the lost and found area where you will find a book with your name on it. Touch it and you will be transferred to Hogsmeade. There, a carriage will await you and take you up to Hogwarts. Dumbledore will meet you in the front hall and then do what he wants. I believe that is all. If not, or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask." Mrs. River said smiling. "Goodbye, and pleasure meeting the both of you." She then stepped into the fireplace and was gone in a flash.

Natasha had so many questions to ask that her head was starting to hurt. Professor Cassiopeia dismissed her and she headed down to dinner. Dinner had been quiet and once she had gotten to her room all of her friends fired questions at her. She told them everything except that she was Harry Potter's twin. All her friends were upset and that night they all sat up talking about keeping in touch with each other. That week flew by, or so it seemed to Natasha and her friends.

Natasha's stomach jolted as the plane took flight. All she could think about was what had happened and what was going to happen at Hogwarts. She was now nervous and scared. A heavy man sat down beside her and smiled. She smiled back and then turned around to look out the window. The trip was long and boring, and the rest of the year was going to be just as long perhaps even longer.
