A Rose and a Lilly

Disclaimer we don't own Harry Potter.

Chapter 2

It was a short walk to His Office. You know how when you're about to get a death sentence or when your in trouble it seems to take forever to walk to your doom? Well that didn't happen to me. It seemed to take seconds.

His office was apparently behind a stone gargoyle and we pause at the base.

"Gobstoppers." Fleur said and the gargoyle moved revealing a set of stairs. We swiftly mounted the steps and were outside the door to his office in no time at all. Respectfully, Fleur knocked.

"You may enter", Dumbledore's warm voice said. I pushed Rose in front of me and entered the office last, shutting the door quietly behind me. Among a very impressive collection of portraits, instruments, and books sat Dumbledore behind a large desk. Four chairs were positioned in front of the desk, one of which was already occupied by a confused and surprised Harry Potter.

We each took our places Fleur on the end followed by Rose then me next to Harry Potter.

Rose leaned close to me and whispered, "Now, if Harry speaks to you do not shout out 'your Harry Potter' like you did earlier, oui?"

In answer I just glared at her, promising with my eyes that she was going to get it after we got out of here.

"I am sure you all are wondering why I have asked you to come here. The answer is quite simple." Dumbledore looked at each of us before addressing Harry. "Harry, you know that you were two when your parents were killed. You do not know, however, that you had siblings." He paused for a moment as Harry digested the news that he wasn't an only child as he had believed he was. Dumbledore continued before Harry could ask questions,

"You had two sisters that were both a year younger than you. When they were born I took them, to the dismay of your parents, and hid them in France. I did this because I was already aware of the prophecy and I didn't want to take a chance on there safety. I tried to talk your parents into coming and hiding again with them or at least let me take you as well but they wouldn't here a word of it. It's a wonder I got the twins out at all. I decided that it was time you all found out who you really are. Harry, you're a big brother and the two lovely French witches sitting next to you are your younger sisters. Oh, I almost forgot" He held out a small bowl of colorful round candies. "Anyone care for a Gobstopper? They are a muggle candy that I am quite fond of." Harry's mouth was agape with wonder and I am sure that Rose's and mine were in a similar state. "Harry, please show your sisters the way to the Gryffindor common room the password is Patronus. You can get to know one another on the way. Be sure Ms. Granger knows that the girls will be staying in her dorm and therefore following her schedule. Now, you are dismissed, but, if you would, Ms. Delacour please stay behind. I believe we have business to discuss." We all stood, Harry, Rose and I, in a daze. With a wave of his wand, Dumbledore changed the four chairs we had been occupying into a large, comfortable looking couch. Harry opened the door and we all filed out, past the stone Gargoyle and into the now empty corridor. An uncomfortable blanket of silence fell over us as we were walking down the corridors and I found myself grasping hands with Rose as a sense of reassurance.

"So you're my brother?" I asked Harry.

"Seems like it to me. I had my suspicions since dinner, as did Hermione, but I never thought that it was true."

"Well, we never thought we had any living relatives so this is really shocking to us." Rose said icily.

"You know it look likes we have the same color of hair Rose." Harry said a little uncomfortably. I guess he heard the tone of Roses voice.

"So where is this Gryffindor common room?" I asked trying to ease the tension.

"It's just a little farther down the corridor and up a couple hundred flights of stairs." Harry said with a slight smile on his face.

"So have you pulled any good pranks?" I asked.

"No. But if your into pranks then you want to see Fred and George." He said with a shake of his head, "They will probably be doing a prank soon. They always do one at the beginning of the year."

"Oh. I suppose we will have to get to know our opponents." I replied with a wink to Rose.

We stopped out side a portrait of a fat lady, instead of turning around, Harry stepped forward "Patronus" He said. The portrait swung forward revealing a stone archway into a comfortable looking gold and crimson common room.

"Welcome to Gryffindor common room." Harry said with a smile.

"Oh Harry what happened? Are you in trouble? What did you already do?" Hermione said as she rushed forwards. It was obvious that she had been pacing the floor in worry.

"Give him room to breathe Hermione." Ron said.

"Oh right sorry. So what did Dumbledore need?" She asked after she had backed off a little bit.

"Um he just wanted to tell me that I had sisters." He replied with a small sheepish grin.

Hermione stood there with her mouth agape.

"What was that?" She managed to get out.

"I have sisters, two of them."

I looked at Rose and could feel that in some odd way, she didn't believe it. Hermione looked at us. "I guess this is them? They definitely look like you. You know, because you and Lily both have your mom's eyes and you and Rose have the same hair. Wow! Sisters! This year is going to be very interesting. Where are they going to stay?"

"Actually, they are staying in your dorm" Harry said.

"Only if it's not any kind of intrusion," I added.

"Of course not! Don't be silly! We have plenty of room in there!" She said in a don't be silly voice that I could easily tell meant if your Harry's sisters you're my new best friends.

Hmm I wonder if she likes him. I thought to myself.

"Come on I'll show you the dormitories." She said and offered her hands to us. I placed a hand in hers and looked towards Rose, waiting for her to do the same. However, Rose just shook her head in rejection and crossed her arms. A brief look of hurt flashed across Hermione's face but was son replaced with the glowing smile she'd had since meeting us.

"Those over there are the guys dormitories." Hermione said while pointing to the staircase on the left.

"Ours is over on the right." She said and we walked forward.

"Is everyone from your school staying with Gryffindor fourth years?" She asked with a slightly worried tone.

"No just us." Rose answered. I could so hear the untrusting in her voice only because I heard it before.

A few years ago I had my first boy friend, what really made him break up with me was the glares that Rose would give him every time she saw him, which was a lot. I would hate it if she ruined the friendship that I could feel growing between Hermione and me.

"There is one more person but I'm guessing that she will stay in the third year dorms. She didn't study ahead like us. No one did actually." I said with a little extra warmth then usual.

They went up the stairs and came to a door that opened to a circular room with five beds.

"Hermione!" a girl shrieked." There are extra beds that means…" She trailed off when her eyes landed on Rose and I.

"Lily, Rose meet Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil," Hermione said gesturing to the two girls who were lounging on there beds. Lavender, who had shrieked, stood immediately and crossed the room.

"Which one of you is Lily and which one is Rose," she asked. At first, I was surprised thinking she could tell we were twins, which didn't make much sense since we don't really look anything alike and then I realized Hermione hadn't made proper introductions.

"I am Lily Rose Maria Evans," I said "and this is my twin sister Rose Lilly Marie Evans" Lavender nodded and then returned to her bed.

"Twins huh? I have a twin to," said the other girl, Parvati, "She is in Ravenclaw though, her name is Padma. Remind me to introduce you to her later."

I nodded "I will."

Rose and I walked over to the two beds that weren't occupied. They had scarlet hangings that matched the sheets that were in the worst fabric imaginable. Rose ran a hand over the sheets and immediately pulled it back as it had done some personal wrong to her.

"There not silk," she whispered in tearful French.

"It's ok, We packed our own sheets, remember" I gently rub a hand in small circles on her back as she attempts to recover from the awful realization that not every school had silk coverings.

She took a small breath and walked over to a large black trunk that had many locks, a rose engraved in gold on the lid. She leaned down and spoke the word 'Chocolate' to the first lock. It popped open and the lid sprang up to reveal an assortment of toiletries and bedding. She lifted out carefully folded midnight blue silk sheets. She took out her wand and with a simple spell had done away with the atrocious crimson things and replaced them with the very welcoming silk ones.

"That's better." She breathed.

I then after watching and being a mused by the looks on my new friends faces, crossed over to my trunk that was exactly like Roses except that it had a lily on it. I spoke the word 'Butterbear' to the first lock and like Roses, it popped open and revealed toiletries and bedding. I carefully lifted out my white silk sheets. I waved my wand and the sheets were instantly on the bed along with matching silk blanket.

"Well now that we got are beds made I guess its time for bed?" I said turning around to look at the other girls.

"I guess so." Hermione said. I thought a little reluctant but oh well.

I opened the next lock on my trunk by saying "Pumpkin Juice." It popped open to revel nightgowns and other bed cloths. Quickly I picked my favorite nightgown and noticed that Rose had done the same.

Mine was a spaghetti strap emerald green dress that matched my eyes. It was a little longer than floor length and silk.

Roses was a purple dress that looked beautiful on her. It accented her curves perfectly and her hair as well looked perfect with it.

I had a robe to mach it but that would only be used when necessary.

I helped Rose pull all the bobby pins out of her hair and let her wavy hair cascade down her back. Both our hair was wavy. Mine was a little curlier than hers was though. It reached the bottom of my back and it was very difficult to brush. We were soon ready for bed and I remember my last thought before I drifted off to sleep were

"I cant wait till I can get my soft fluffy bed back."
