Author note:

Just as in the first chapter, I will point out that, I have spellchecked all the stories and re-read them. This is not fresh off the press and I am sorry for all the errors there are but I am not perfect in grammar never will be. Deal with it.

Declaration:

Harry Potter is not mine, nor the characters in the Harry Potter uniform. What you see here is just a figment of my imagination and no matter how much I wish I owned Harry Potter I do not. I do own Tempest Dumbledore, just not her last name. She is my character, invented by myself, and all the people of Salem are also mine since they are not in the books or even real people of the Harry Potter universe.

Chapter two

"They're not just sisters and twins. They're best friends, and they care genuinely about each other."

By

Chelsi Welch

Leaving Gringotts, Tempest looked at her twin sister and noticed her clothing. She was dressed in oversized rags that must have been hand me downs because no girl would ever buy such things. Not to mention, they were male clothing.

"We need to get you some real clothes Storm, that," She said while indicating towards what Storm was wearing." is in no shape or form meant for you to wear little alone another person." She whispered causing her sister to blush furiously.

"Well I sort of agree with you there, it's just I never really thought about going shopping." Storm mumbled causing Tempest to grin.

"Well don't worry, I've been told by grandmother that I get my shopping addiction from our mother. I think you would have got it as well. We can shop in muggle London, since you have the bankcard on you. Now let's go." She cried and with that, both girls were on their way out of Diagon Alley and into muggle London for a well-deserved bonding time between twin sisters.

The first store they entered was hot pink in the outside and inside was filled with bright cheerful, sexy, and amazing clothing. Looking at each other both girls let squeals leave their lips before running to their respective places in the store. Considering that all the clothes were sorted by colour, they were fine. After about an hour of looking through some clothes, they brought all their choice to the changing rooms and started to try some on. With each outfit they liked they would come out to show the other. By the end, they had spent three hours in the store and had bought most of what they had chosen off the racks. Leaving that store they left for others until finally, night was setting and they decided to leave for what was going to be their home for the summer.

When they landed, both tumbled to the ground but thankfully, nothing fell out of their bags. Getting back on their feet, they looked at each other before laughing.

Gathering their bags, they looked around. They had landed in a clearly very green area and not far from them was a black iron fence that clearly belonged to the Potters. Facing the iron fence was an adorable little village that wasn't that far. Swiftly they started to walk until finally they arrived at the doors of the gate. Stepping forward Storm put her bags down before touching the fence. In seconds, they opened and she turned to Tempest who gave a shrug.

Hurriedly they went in and the moment they were safely inside the doors closed and both were met with an amazing sight. Before them was a beautiful manor like none they had ever seen. The entire building was made of white stone that seemed to shine with light. The doors were all beautiful white wood with elegant gold designs while large windows were everywhere. The grounds were beautiful, green, green grass with large trees all around. There were beautiful blooming flowers and even animals running around. The driveway leading to the manor was white cobblestone and had a boarder on each side. Slowly they walked up to the doors, making sure to look at everything. When they arrived, the doors opened and they were met by darkness.

Frowning they stepped in and the moment the doors closed the manor came to life. Light shined down from the stunning crystal chandelier. The crystals were all in loose spirals with the biggest being the longest and so on. It was a beautiful piece that brought out the beauty of the room. The walls and ceiling had elegant moulding, the walls done in rectangles while the ceiling was just one large frame. There was even crown moulding that went with everything. The moulding was all white while the walls were a light blue. The drapes that were over the windows were long and white with a Victorian gold design at the bottom. Thankfully, they were opened letting the light in. The floor was all white marble and stunning while a large double stair case lead to the second floor. It was also made of white marble but the railing was gold and beautiful. Suddenly a house elf appeared before them.

"Mistress Potter has returned!" the clearly female house elf exclaimed before noticing that there were two girls and they looked identical.

"Hello there, my names Storm Potter, may I ask yours?" Storm asked while getting her mind in one place.

"I's Twinkle Mistress." She answered causing Storm to smile.

"Well Twinkle it's nice to meet you, but I have one request please call me Storm." She said causing the house elf to smile.

"You's like Mistress Lily, Mistress Lily hated when Twinkle and other house elves call's her Mistress or Mistress Potter." Twinkle stated causing Storm to smile.

"Well Twinkle I'd like you to meet my twin sister, Tempest."

"Pleasures to meet but Twinkle is confused, Twinkle cannot sense Potter in Mistress Tempest?" Twinkle said while tugging at her ears in worry.

"There is nothing to worry about Twinkle, the reason why you can't sense any Potter in Tempest is because she isn't a Potter, you see I was adopted Twinkle. I was born a Dumbledore but blood adopted into the Potter family." Storm revealed causing Twinkles eyes to brighten. "But please let us keep this to just us and the other house elves. We needed not get this out to the public just yet."

"Very well's Mistress Storm, Mistress Tempest, Twinkle will now bring Mistress' things to rooms. Mistress Storm will be staying in Master Bedroom, yes she will." Twinkle stated causing Storm to laugh softly.

"Twinkle is there another bedroom on the same floor as the Master?" She asked.

"Yes Mistress Storm, there be a second Master Bedroom." She answered causing Storm to grin.

"Then Tempest will get the second Master Bedroom." She stated and Twinkle gave a nod before she and their bags disappeared.

"So what do you want to do now?" Tempest asked.

"What do you say to explore?" Storm asked and at that Tempest gave a bright smile and together they walked out of the entrance hall.

The halls were just like the entrance hall but this time crystal lights were mounted on the wall giving light when the curtains were closed. They were in what seemed to be the west wing of the house and soon arrived at a set of large double doors. Opening them, they were welcomed by the amazing ballroom. The floor continued to be white marble yet the entire place was a sight of perfect elegance. The walls were Dark Purple, with the trim being grey while the drapery was silver. Grand Chandeliers hung from the ceiling and suits of armour were in certain places. Yes, it was a beautiful room.

"So this is the infamous Potter Manor Ball room, beautiful if I do say so myself." She stated causing Storm to blink.

"Infamous?" She asked.

"The Potter family is known for hosting large balls for special occasions, apparently your Potter Grandmother was known for throwing the best of the best especially at Christmas. Now it's the Malfoy's who are known for their balls, although they aren't as grand as your grandmothers was, but I'm sure if you start hosting them, they would be well spoke about and loved as well." She answered causing Storm to nod.

"Wow, I didn't know that," she whispered but then they decided to continue. The next location they visited was what seemed to be the formal Dining room.

It was very similar to ballroom yet the table was large and white while the cushions on the chairs were grey velvet with silver studs on the side. There was two smaller chandeliers going the length of the table but there was also one wall of windows. Leaving the room, they did the rest of the west wing and found all sorts of places. Then they left for the East wing and found that it connected them to the green houses and shockingly enough the library. The moment they walked in Storm was captivated.

The library was as large if not bigger then Hogwarts library, it had five different levels. Each floor was white marble while the walls were covered with beautiful dark wooden and detailed bookshelves. In the centre of the main floor was a lounge area that had grey velvet sofas and chairs with a dark wooden table in the centre. The stares going up to the other levels were all made of marble and had golden handrails. The only floor that was different was the top floor. The top floor had dark hard wood stairs and even had a telescope set up to look up outside the dome of windows to the sky above.

At last, they went to the second level that was all the rooms, the west wing was for the guest and the east wing for the family. They were able to find their rooms yet also found a family common room.

"Alright, what about this? We take showers, because personally after a day filled with shopping and trying clothing on I want to smell good and then we meet up here and talk." Tempest suggested and Storm gave her agreement before they both left for their own rooms.

Arriving in the main Master Bedroom Storm looked around. The room was beautiful. It was extremely large easily bigger than the main floor of Number Four Privet Drive. The ceiling of the room had large thick and ornate crown moulding going around the room with a circle inside it. The circle was large and also formed of crown moulding. That was also were a slight dome was and in the centre of the dome was a beautiful window that let plenty of light in but there was also gold design with a beautiful diamond chandelier dangling from it.

The floor of the room was beautiful dark hard wood flooring while the walls were a light cream colour. Floor to ceiling windows were on two sides of the room, facing each other with darker cream drapes on each side of every window. The back wall had two doors on either side of the King sized bed. The King sized bed was white and four-poster style with beautiful design carved into it. The drapes covering it were white and cream with some cheer. The bedding was cream with white Victorian detail all over it. The pillows were all white and there were many of them. Where she stood was two chairs and a fireplace. The fireplace was also in plain view of the bed as the chairs flanked each side with a beautiful white table. The chairs were high back and were a dark cream with golden studs.

Walking into the room, she made her way to the double doors on the right. The doors were white and had glass rectangles showing that inside was a beautiful bathroom. The bathroom had beautiful grey tile floor and walls while a white Victorian claw tub was placed in front of a window. There was large walk in closet with pure black glass tiles and a rain shower. The counter was white marble and had black glass sinks. The toilet was in its own room with a window. On white velvet bench was pure white towels with the Potter Crest incrusted on them.

"You know I'm wondering how on earth I could ever get used to this." She whispered before swiftly undressing and filling the tub with worm water and bubbles.

When it was full, she climbed in and let a sigh leave her lips as she relaxed. Great Merlin this was blissful. Closing her eyes, she relaxed against the tub and let her mind wonder to everything she had learned today. One she had a twin; two she was not actually born a Potter but a Dumbledore and was still slightly an orphan considering her parents were dead. Three she was related to Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall.

"OH hell yes! I won ten gallons by betting that McGonagall and Dumbledore were together and probably had a kid and a grandchild!" She exclaimed before laughing.

To think she was just thinking about gallons when she should have been thinking that she had family, family that wasn't the Dursley's but a sister and Grandparents. Take it that her grandparents didn't know about her but still.

"I have a family." She whispered before shaking her head and getting out of the tub.

Drying off she made sure to get dressed in a pair of white baggy pyjamas pants with a light blue tank top before walking out of her room and into the sitting area between hers and Tempest. Sitting down on the sofa, she spotted a cup of hot cocoa and swiftly took it. After a few minutes, Tempest joined her.

"Alright so what should we be talking about?" Tempest asked.

"What about ourselves. I mean we should get to know each other as twins." Storm suggested and Tempest gave a bright smile.

"Alright um you want to go first?" She asked but Storm shook her head.

"I have a lot to tell so I should go last, you go first." She answered.

"Alrighty then, well I attend Salem Academy of Magic because well I'm Albus Dumbledore's granddaughter. I think he is afraid that if people know about me they will use me to get to him. He just doesn't understand that I can fight my own battles and that I don't need big grandpa to save me." She started earning a smile from Tempest.

"I could imagine his thoughts if he knew about me. I would so be grounded if I lived with them." Storm joked but that just made her sister more curious about her sisters' life.

"Anyway Salem is all the way in America and it's a pretty cool school. I have a group of friends and I don't have a roommate. My favourite subject is Transfiguration but I'm pretty good in Potions. Um let us see my worst subject, Charms. As for that, nothing much really." She said and Storm took a deep breath before starting on her own life.

"I attend Hogwarts as you well know; I was raised by Petunia and Vernon Dursley. Petunia's thoughts are that a young woman should be seen and not herd and that we should always be proper. Somewhat funny considering she gave me boy's clothes to wear. Anyway didn't have a great life with them but then Hogwarts started. My first real friend was Hagrid than he gave me my first birthday gift, Hedwig. She's my snowy owl that I'm sure you'll get to meet soon. Um on the train, I met my best mate, Ronald Weasley. He and I have been friends since the day we met. Then we got Hermione Granger. Our friendship happened in a unique way. It was Halloween and well a troll was let loose in the castle our first year. We realized that Hermione wasn't in the Great Hall and went to look for her. Somewhat stupid now that I think about it but thankfully we found her. The only thing bad about it as that the troll was in the same bathroom she was in. Well we knocked the troll out and saved her which started our relationship as friends." Storm announced and Tempest just looked at her in complete shock.

"A troll, you fought a troll!" She screamed and Storm laughed.

"Yes, quite scary at the time. Anyway, after that we had a pretty good year with the exception of saving the Philosopher stone from Voldemort's hands." She stated earning a scream of rage from Tempest. "What's wrong?"

"Why do you get the exiting life?" Tempest whined earning herself a soft laugh from Storm.

"Perks of being the Girl who lived I suppose." She answered.

As Storm, continued telling her twin about her life at Hogwarts her twin listened with a baited breath about all the adventures Storm had gone through during her years. She told her about Sirius Black's innocence and about the tournament. She told her about how she despised the fame that came with her name. In return, Tempest told her about their grandparents and parents about some of her own adventures at Salem and when they finished they agreed to do some bounding time the next day, as they were both tired.

Later that night, Storm was fast asleep in her own bed yet Tempest was in a fitful sleep. Suddenly she woke up and a smirk appeared on her face. Swiftly extracting herself from her blankets, she made her way to Storms room. Walking in, she was captivated by the room's grandeur but swiftly got to work. Jumping on her sister's bed, she had to stop herself from smirking as her sister groaned.

"Storm wake up!" She shouted while shaking her sister's shoulder.

"Don't want to, to early." Storm groaned.

"You are no morning person, but it doesn't matter as it's not morning yet as it's still dark. Anyway come on wake up I have an idea!" Tempest whined causing her sister to groan yet she opened her eyes and looked up at her.

"Why can't you tell me tomorrow?" She asked sleepily.

"Because it's all fresh in my mind, it's really cool plan to." Tempest answered before climbing under the covers with her sister.

"Okay what's your plan?" Storm asked while rubbing her eyes and sitting up.

"It's simple you're always wanted to have a normal school year right, one without the fame of being Storm Potter, the girl who lived, and I've always wanted to attend Hogwarts. We are twins, identical twins. They would never know the difference." Tempest started but Storm caught on and turned to her sister.

"NO! I'm the bloody Girl who lived, Voldemort is after my hid and with the Ministry trying to call me an insane attention seeking brat this year at Hogwarts will be the worst! I won't have you go through that!" Storm cried her anger coming to the surface.

"Oh but please Storm! I can handle it, I am your twin after all and anyway if we learn as much as we can this summer then we can be at the same level for school. Moreover, Voldemort wouldn't try anything at Hogwarts. Only the Ministry and I can keep my temper in check. They won't be able to get anything on me and I'm sure I can handle it. Please Storm, I have always wanted to attend Hogwarts and if I can't attend as Tempest Dumbledore then what better way than to attend as my twin sister that nobody knows about Storm Potter." Tempest stated but still Storm looked hesitant. "You'll be able to attend Salem as Tempest Dumbledore, you won't have people looking at you as if you were famous, or like you are a deranged attention seeking brat. Salem isn't like that. Moreover, you can have a normal year. We could switch for our exams and send each other our notes from classes so if we learn different things then we can still keep up with our normal studies."

"Oh fine!" Storm agreed causing Tempest to squeal in excitement. "But things will have to change. Look at us, you have longer hair then I do, you have pierced ears and I don't." "That can be easily changed, all we need is a hair growing potion for your hair, and we could easily pierce your ears. We can teach each other how to act like the other." Tempest stated.

"You can really get somebody to do what you want when you really want to do that something you know that right?" Storm asked and Tempest only gave her a bright smile. "I can teach you how to do that." She chirped causing Storm to sigh yet a smile was fighting her lips.

After their slight argument, the sisters started to talk a bit more and then started to relax into the bed until finally both fell asleep, curled together, smiles on their lips. One dreamed of a peaceful year while the other dreamed of a year at Hogwarts.
