I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER

So before I say anything more, I'm just going to give everyone a run down on who I am.
My name is Aurora Black and I have a twin brother called Hunter. We have been living with my Aunt for as long as we can remember, and we've never had a father figure in our lives. Our birthdays are different, and I was born on the 31st of December near midnight while my brother was born on the 1st of January in the early morning. We were immediately taken away from our mother and haven't seen her since. I don't even know who she is yet, or my father. When I asked my Aunt about her, she grimaced and said that I look like my mother but my brother is a mixture of our mother and father. I was delighted that I looked like her and so my brother and I sketched a portrait of what we thing our parents looked like. Our mother had long, black ringlets, light pink lips, and big bright blue eyes. Her face was quite thin and she had dark, well-shaped eyebrows. My father on the other hand, we drew as golden brown hair, with blue eyes. We couldn't figure out anything else.
Hunter has dark blue eyes, and his skin colour is a bit lighter than tan. His hair is unlike mine, and has brown hair with bits of natural blond streaked through it. He has a mysterious look to him, if you know what I mean.
When we were six years old, we were more mature that most kids. My Aunt decided to tell us that we are in danger and we actually need training before Hogwarts. We didn't fully understand this, but we knew we had to do something. From that age on, we were trained in combat. This may sound harsh, but it is to ensure our survival. We trained most days and found we had a talent for wandless magic. Also, what surprised us is that we have power over two of the elements each. I have water and fire, and can control earth and wind to an extent but no where near as much as my brother. His is vice versa. We usually play around with these powers and experiment with them. I have learnt how to squirt jets of water out of my fingertips, create fireballs, use water as a shield and engulf myself in a ball of water, as well as cover myself in flames so no one can touch me. I have also learnt how to create a fan type thing with air and make myself fly, but I haven't been able to do anything with the earth. Yet.
So that's about it, really.
My snake was drooped around my neck, and my owl was sitting on his golden perch I had bought for him. I sat there, in complete silence reading through my book. It goes through what the dark witches and wizards did and when they did it. So far I've seen people like Voldemort, Grindelwald, and some of their followers. I was astonished at how many people joined them. Especially Voldemort.
Oreo hooted loudly and I looked over to him puffing out his feathery chest and displaying a brown rat on my floor. I groaned. "And so it begins" I scowl at him and grab the rat's tail and throw it out the window while mumbling thanks to Oreo. He narrowed his eyes and I narrowed mine. These are the type of things that makes me wonder whether animals actually know and understand us. I decided to pull a prank on my brother as he still was oblivious to the fact that I had a snake. I grabbed Nika and told her my plan. She hissed appraisingly and I wrapped her around my body and she turned invisible. I jumped out my window and with my weird power things I blew air under me which made me fly. I floated up towards by brothers window which was just above mine and opened it about halfway. I noticed he was lying on his bed turned away from me. I grinned evilly and felt Nika slide off me and I knew she was going through the window. I kept floating at the same level until I saw Nika appear on the bed next to him. She poised in an attack position and I knew she was gonna scare him good. I looked at Nika and mouthed the countdown and she nodded. On one I let go of the window so it hit the edge with a bang, which was enough to wake Hunter up. He quickly rolled over to see what had banged, and was greeted with the sight of Nika hissing and drawing back. Needless to say, he screamed like a little girl, jumped off the bed and started running. I knew he would come to my room because I love snakes and so I quickly grabbed Nika and floated back down into my room, and I just got onto my bed and picked up my book when Hunter ran in, panting. I acted like nothing was wrong and asked him what was wrong.
"There-! I-! Sleeping-! Snake-! Help!" He got out while trying to catch his breath. I internally laughed but kept a straight face.
"Theres a snake in your room?" I asked innocently. He nodded frantically. "Oh, you mean this snake?" I grabbed Nika from beside me and pulled her into his view. His face was etched with confusion until he looked over to my window which was still wide open, and put two and two together.
"You!" He pointed at me accusingly. I burst out laughing as he grumbled and made his way back to his room.
"That was perfect!" I said to Nika and held my hand up for a high-five, and she swung her tail around and high-fived my hand with it. "His face was gold!" We were laughing for at least ten minutes and even Oreo who had figured out what I did looked amused. I don't know how he looked amused, he just did.
After we had stopped laughing, I had gone back to reading my book and stroking Oreo's feathers. I came across some dark witches and saw one that looked a lot like me. I studied the face for a while and decided to ask my Aunt why. I ran down to the kitchen where Aunt Andy was having a cup of tea.
"Aunt Andy, why does this person resemble me?" I asked her. She looked at the photo, horrified. She had a deep breath.
"You might want to get your brother down for this." She said to me. Confusion plastered itself onto my face and I called down Hunter.
"If this is another one of your jokes Aurora, I swear-" He stopped halfway through his sentence as his eyes caught the photo. "Woah, she looks like an older you!" He tells me.
"I know, and that's why your down here." Before my brother could say anything, my Aunt cut in.
"What I'm about to tell you will come as a shock. But I want you both to remember that you are your own people, and who you're related to has no effect on who you truly are. Do you understand?" We both nodded, bracing for what she was going to tell us.
"This witch here, her name is Bellatrix Lestrange. She is my sister, and your mother."
