Here you will find out all the details as to how this all can actually make sense! The italics in the story are what Ally is saying and the rest is Sirius explaining.
(C) Refer to prologue
"First off, your name is Alexandria Lilith Potter. Your nickname, at least the one Harry and I call you, is Ally. Harry is your twin brother. I'm Sirius Black, your godfather. You and Harry live with me because your parents were killed by an awful wizard when you two were both only a year old."
"Well how are we still here then?"
"When that wizard tried to kill you two, the ancient magic placed on you to protect you by your parents' love reflected the spell back at him. As soon as that spell hit you two, his powers were transferred to you two and he was left powerless. His immortality left him too and he died by his own spell. The strain of your powers being drained into two different people was enough to kill him."
"We have his powers? What are they?"
"Both of you have different powers, some of which probably haven't even shown yet. Harry is a parseltongue, meaning he can talk to snakes. You, however, have the power to retain knowledge. It sounds basic, but really it's the greatest power anyone can have. You can read a book just by putting your hand on it and saying a simple spell. All the knowledge will be etched into your memory. It's like having a photographic memory. It is thought that you two are both immortal, since that was the wizard's greatest power, but of course no one has tested that theory."
"What was that wizard's name?"
"Even though he is gone, he did so many awful things while he was alive that most wizards and witches fear to speak his name. If anyone talks about him you'll hear them call him "You-know-who" or "He who must not be named." The name he went by to his followers and to the people he scared and tortured was Voldemort."
"Wow..."
"I know it's overwhelming to learn this all in just one day. When I rode on my flying motorcycle to your parents' house and saw it in ruins, I almost crashed into a tree. I came down and Hagrid, the grounds-keeper for Hogwarts, was bawling. He was holding you and Harry in his arms. I took you and he took Harry and we found Dumbledore and told him what we found. At first I was a suspect myself for their betrayal which led them to be killed, but after I told them that Peter Pettigrew, another of their old friends, was the actual secret-keeper, I was declared innocent. Do you need me to explain anything else?"
"No, I think I'm good. I feel really...priveliged to be here. To be alive and to have you and Harry. Where is Harry by the way?"
"He's asleep still, he usually sleeps until about one in the afternoon since you haven't been up to wake him. You two have to leave for Hogwarts in a couple weeks. It's really lucky that you woke up when you did. If you missed the beginning of the year you'd probably have to be a year behind next time around. I'm just so glad that you woke up. We weren't sure if you'd make it..."
((A/N: Okay, no more italics for Ally's questions and such, hope you liked the explanation.))
Sirius trailed off as a groggy Harry came downstairs with his hair in a mess and still in his pajamas. He saw me sitting across the table from Sirius and practically jumped on me in an attempt to hug me.
"Ally! I can't believe you're finally awake!" he said happily as he hugged me.
"Harry...I'm glad to see you to but can you please stop strangling me? I'll end up going into another coma," I gasped. He let go and stood back to grin at me.
"Did Sirius already tell you about everything?" he asked.
"She's got amnesia, Harry," Sirius said in a solemn tone. Harry nodded and kept the grin plastered on his face.
"At least she's awake now. I'm going to write to Ron and Hermione!" Harry said excitedly and ran back up the stairs. Sirius and I shook our heads at him and Sirius finally went to making breakfast for the, once again, full family.
Well, whadya think? Review if you've got the time!
