They turned as one to gaze at the sneering face of their potions professor, he looked down on them with his lifeless eyes and Sasha found herself longing to look away. "No!" she thought furiously, "I won't let him win, I won't!" Snape's eyes widened slightly at this but he said nothing.

"You will meet Mr Filch outside the great hall tomorrow night for your detention. Do not let me catch you firing jinxes in my class again or else you will risk expulsion."

Sasha lifted her chin and stared at the potions master's face defiantly, she had figured he must be proficient at legilimency and decided to test her theory.

"So… you didn't notice a certain slytherin on our side then? Interesting." The slender girl sent her older man a smirk identical to her father's as she saw him register her thoughts. He sent her a blank look and dismissed them hurriedly sweeping back to his rooms fuming inwardly. The 1st years left the room as fast as they could and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, we made it! But we'd better hurry if we wanted to get to History of Magic on time." Elliott began to drag Ember up the corridor and, looking at each other and shrugging Sasha and Harry followed suit. The rest of the day seemed to pass in a blur of new teachers and piles of homework and Harry was relieved when dinner came around. He sat with the other three, a tall red-headed boy called Ron Weasley and a brunette named Hermione Granger who seemed to really antagonise each other with a passion. The entire meal was spent with the two arguing and Harry and Sasha attempting to ease the tension. The twins finally stepped in after a silent conversation and fixed the two with stare's that could have scared a troll. They two new comers wilted under the combined glare and fell silent, picking at their food. As pudding was cleared away the Weasley twins walked up to the group with Lee Jordan and squeezed into the space between Ember and Ron who gazed at their bravery in awe. Lee laughed and greeted them introducing himself to Hermione who went bright red and looked down at her hands, Elliott laughed and nudged the 3rd year who grinned good-naturedly and winked at the blushing girl.

That night Ember insisted everyone do their homework in a circle on the floor and mention something about themselves as they finished an essay or task. She was bored of not knowing everyone well and knew there was something Sasha had found out in potions. It made the copious amounts of homework seem less dull and helped them bond in a way only 11 year olds could.

Elliott watched as his little sister (by 6 minutes) arranged everyone into positions to explain parts of their past to the others. He noticed Sasha cringe and sidled up to her smirking as she jumped when he appeared behind her. "What is it?" he murmured his eyes taking in every inch of her beautiful face.

She smiled sheepishly "Aah, I should have guessed you'd notice. I'm just worried about Harry's reaction, what if he hates me because of what my father did?" Elliott looked at her incredulously,

"He wouldn't! He thinks of you as a sister and he loves you! Trust me and him, Harry will accept you for who you are, not what your dad did." The girl nodded and turned to face the raven haired boy.

"Harry?" her voice trembled slightly but her gaze was steady "my past isn't pretty and my dad did something I can never forgive him for, that's why he's in Azkaban and that's why I haven't seen him since I turned 1. Harry, Sirius Black was the one who betrayed your parents to Lord Voldemort." She looked at him beseechingly, her indigo eyes full of tears.

Harry stared at her! Her dad had helped to kill his parents. Her dad was the reason he had spent his life with his aunt and uncle! But how could he blame her? He had caused her to lose her dad! He cleared his throat and hugged her. She was his god sister, and his only family! He pulled back and looked her in the eye, Sapphires and Emeralds burning into each other. "You are the only family I have now." Harry said simply "We are going to stay together until the very end, you hear me?" Sasha nodded and grinned. Ember spoke up at that moment, her melodic voice washing over them, "You're wrong you know?" Elliott nodded with her "she's right, we're all family. You have us as well." Harry laughed and beckoned to them to join the group hug. Half an hour later Harry had related his tales of his childhood. His job now was to calm Ember down as she stared at the door, pure hatred clouding her eyes. Elliott had just enough time to spit out the words "get out of here" as he moved to block his sister from springing. The boy-who-lived grabbed Sasha and pulled her out the door slamming it behind him as two crashes sounded. For the next 10 minutes Harry and Sasha listened at the door as Elliott tried to pacify his enraged sister, finally the male twin opened the door and let his classmates back in. Ember was sitting on her bed sucking a blood pop manically and glaring at the floor. She looked up as they walked and muttered "hi." Then she shook her head and turned to her brother for help. He looked back at her, encouragement showing clearly in his golden eyes. "I'm sorry." She whispered "I should never have lost control like that. I didn't mean to scare you." Her brother smiled at her and she looked at him gratefully as he suggested everyone went to bed. As Sasha lay in bed that night she realized the Lupin twins had never told their story, apparently their father had known hers and Harry's, who was he? Elliott was thinking about his sister; he couldn't let her lose control like that again. It was too dangerous, what if he wasn't there to stop her? Harry was picturing his parents, sighing he rolled over, they were gone and nothing would bring them back. Ember gazed at the ceiling another blood pop in her mouth, she had to be more careful, or else.

There it is. Kind of rubbish I know but I need inspiration. Please? Oooooh and thank you to Sophia Gray for the AWESOME review. Please review.
