"We have double potions again?" Ron muttered darkly, glowering at the schedule. He glanced over at Hanna who was nibbling on her breakfast. "It's gonna be hell, especially if it is with the Slytherins!"

Hanna just nodded in agreement, staring at her own schedule. It was similar to last years, just with fifth year classes. She had Astronomy, Care of Magical creatures, Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology, Divination, Potions, History of Magic and Defence against the Dark Arts. The new Defence teacher was from the Ministry of Magic, Dolores Umbridge.

Apparently, Umbridge was appointed to be the 'Hogwarts High Inquisitor' by the Ministry. Rumour had it that they believed that Dumbledore was no longer in his right mind and should be wary of him. They sent her to 'protect' Hogwarts and their students. Hanna had a bad feeling about her, especially after the look Umbridge had given her last night. The woman clad head to toe in pink with the toad like features instantly made Hanna uneasy.

It was almost like she knew.

But of course, that would be impossible! Dumbledore assured her only he, Remus, Sirius and she knew. And they intended on keeping it that way.

"Hanna!" Fred and George exclaimed, popping down on either side of her, pushing Ron out of the way.

"We were wondering-!" The twin on her left started.

"'Cause you look like him-!" The twin on her right continued, and Hanna's stomach drooped.

"Are you related to Harry Potter?" They asked simultaneously. Many people around them froze. All eyes found Hanna, who looked relatively calm, though slightly pale.

"Yes. I don't know how directly we are related, but we are related," Hanna murmured. Yes, that lie was much more convincing.

"So you're like his sister? Or Cousin?" Ron asked. Hermione nudged him in the side.

"She just said she didn't know!" Hermione scolded him.

"If you don't know, how do you know you're related?" Ginny asked.

"Umm… Well," Hanna stuttered. She hadn't thought of that… "I inherited all of his things…"

"Why don't you ask your parents how you're related?" She asked.

"Their dead… I don't know any of my family." Hanna said with finality. No one asked her anything, and Hanna silently half thanked Ron when he changed the subject.

"So Hanna, do you play Quidditch?" He asked. Hanna shook her head. She would love to play Quidditch again, but she didn't want to seem that much like Harry.

"Do you?" She asked with a sweet, but fake, smile.


Hanna followed Ron and Hermione to potions class, pretending to have absolutely no idea where to go. Once inside potions class, Hanna suddenly remembered why she hated it. The greasy haired teacher that stood at the front of the class glared at her.

"He just hates all Gryffindor's, don't let him bug you," Ron whispered in her ear. Hanna rolled her eyes, but nodded slowly.

"Everyone take your seats!" The teacher suddenly demanded, and everyone hurried to their seats. Snape hurried to set them to work, and they were to make a potion with the rest of class. The strengthening Solution was not exactly a difficult potion, but Hanna was constantly getting distracted. Although she loved being able to live with Sirius, she still loved Hogwarts. Snape was constantly glaring at her, and she stared back with equal intensity, drawing her attention away from her potion.

At one point she had almost poured Pomegranate juice into it, but Hermione had stopped her just in time.

"Honestly! You're just like Harry!" Hermione complained looking at Hanna's ruined potion. Hermione suddenly covered her mouth with her hand. It hit her again that Harry was no longer with them. Hermione bit her lip and willed herself not to cry. She had cried all summer, and now it was time to go on. Harry wouldn't want her to cry over him.

Ron looked up from beside them. He almost wondered over and wrapped his arm around her, but stopped himself. Luckily, no one noticed Hanna's guilty and nervous expression.

"I expect an essay on how to correctly complete the strengthening potion on my desk tomorrow morning," Snape sneered. Hanna glanced up at him in shock as he made the ruined potion disappear with a flick of his wand. "Are we clear, Miss Potter?"

Hanna glared at him stiffly than nodded. "Crystal clear, sir."

Hanna knew she had to act like everyone was a stranger. She had to act like didn't hate Malfoy. This was probably the hardest part of the entire change. She couldn't imagine how she was going to pull it off.

"We have Defence next," Hermione murmured, grabbing Hanna's hand and tugging her out of the room. Ron followed after a few moments.


School passed like it had before. Hanna felt… away from everyone. She had re-befriended Hermione and Ron, but it just wasn't the same. And she knew it never really would be. She felt more apart from anyone then she ever had before.

She wasn't even the 'Famous Harry Potter' and she had a thousand rumors about her.

At first she was Harry Potters long lost sister, but that idea was thrown out the window when people couldn't figure out why she hadn't grown up with Harry. After about a thousand other rumours they all settled down and agreed that she must be Harry's cousin. At the very least, second cousin.

It had been a whole month since school started. She was extremely thankful when the rumours died down. And now she was sitting in Professor Umbridge's class, copying off a board. She, or anyone else for that matter, hadn't learned a single defence spell this entire year. Hanna hated the woman. She should be teaching them defence spells. If Umbridge said 'Leave it to the ministry' one more time, she was going to snap.

"Hanna!" Hanna looked up wildly, Umbridge was hovering over her. "Why aren't you taking your notes?"

"Umm I got distracted," Hanna winced and returned to her work.

"Well, don't get distracted again. You will need to know these things for your O.W.L's."

Hanna snapped. She didn't even want to get started on the OWLS.

"OWLs are the last thing we need to worry about!" Hanna exclaimed, abruptly standing up and knocking her chair up. Many of the students looked up to watch the scene. "Voldemort is out there! We need to learn defensive spells! We aren't learning how to survive if we spend all day taking these blasted notes!"

Umbridge turned and glared at Hanna. The two were about the same height (Umbridge was very short) so they glared at each other evenly.

"Hanna Potter, detention tonight at eight. Now continue with your work." With a wave of her wand, the chair was standing upward again.

Hanna sighed and slipped back into the chair. She glared at the notes. If they kept up like this, Voldemort wouldn't have much of a problem destroying them all.

Short chapter, sorry. Next one will have detention... and *gasps* the beginning (hints) of Draco x Hanna!
