FLASHBACK TO 1990…
"Oh Thomas, look at our beautiful twins," a woman gushed, having just given birth. Her Husband held their son while their daughter was in her arms.
"Yes, my love," Thomas said. "They are the perfect heirs." Thomas was a person who was feared by all. To everyone but his wife and children, he was known as Lord Voldemort, the Dark Lord of the Wizarding World.
"Mother, Father, may I come in," said a man at the door. This was Severus, Tom's older son. He had shoulder length black hair, black, shining eyes, and pale skin. All in all, he was a perfect mix of his parents.
"Yes Severus," Tom replied. "Come in and see your twin siblings, Erin Necole and Alexander James. The Dark side's newest additions." Erin looked like a female Tom while Alexander looked like a miniature Severus, right down to his dimples. They were an adorable pair.
Suddenly, the wards went off around the house.
"That is not supposed to be going off," shouted Tom, upset that his family moment was ruined. "Which alarm is that Severus?"
"It is the ward for intruders," Severus told his enraged father. It only goes off if a person without your mark walks through without a Death Eater with them."
"Damn it," Tom bellowed. "It's the Order following that bloody Dumbledore. Severus, run and hide with the twins. Dumbles must not find them."
Sadly, Severus did not have the time. At that exact moment, aurors stormed the room with Dumbledore behind them.
"Surely you know that I will not let you raise them, Tom," Dumbledore said looking Tom straight in the eye. Dumbledore was an older man with long gray hair and a long gray beard and twinkling blue eyes behind half-moon shaped spectacles. Normally, the twinkle in his eyes could enthrall even the strongest of wizards, but it never worked on Tom, especially not today.
"Albus, put that twinkle away," Tom said as calmly as he could. "You are not getting my twins. I swear it, you won't."
"Yes I will," Albus said. Turning towards Severus, he whispers 'Imperio' and tells Severus to take the twins and kill his mother.
"Severus darling, what are you doing," his mother asked him. "Stop. You can fight this…"
"Avada Kedavra!" Severus spoke the awful curse and kills his mother before running out with the twins.
Two weeks later, Harry James Potter and Erin Necole Gray were born into two different families in two different countries.

"Erin, honey, we need to talk to you," Henry, Erin's adopted father, said. "Come into the living room please."
'Okay, I wonder what is going on.' Erin thought. 'He only talks like that when I am in trouble.' Betty, seeing the look on Erin's face when she walks in the room says "No Erin you are not in any kind of trouble. We just wanted to tell you about your real family."
"Oh…" Erin started. "Do you know who they are and if they are alive? I want to meet them and any siblings I might have. Tell me, please."
"Okay. The easy answer first," Betty began. "You really have an older brother and a younger twin brother. Sadly, your older brother was brainwashed into killing your mother before taking you and your twin away from your father."
"Who is our father and who would take us away from him," Erin asked, starting to cry for the family she had lost.
Have you heard of Lord Voldemort any at school?" Henry asked.
"Yes, why?" Erin asked. Then she gasped. "He is my father isn't he? My god! I have been called mud blood at school but no more. You two better tell me how to find my dad. NOW!!" Erin was pissed. Her home life was grand but at her school, Mount Zion School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she didn't really have many friends. Most of the purebloods hated her because of the muggle family she lived with.
"Alright," Henry yelled. "He is in England, living at Malfoy Manor. Dumbledore never wanted you to find any of this out. Besides, your father has almost killed your twin, Alexander."
"WHAT!" This surprised Erin greatly.
"Yes," Betty said. "Albus put your brother with James and Lily Potter. Your twin is hidden as Harry Potter."
"Thank you! Avada Kedavra! Avada Kedavra!" Erin screamed the killing curse at them both. "You have helped me greatly." She then walked to the fireplace to floo away.
"Malfoy Manor, here I come," she said before flashing away.
