Ashley Potter

Summary: What would have happened if James Potter had a twin named Ashley? When James dies what would have happened if Ashley stayed alive? Harry would have a family and he would be loads nicer. This is set in the time of the marauders but I don't like Wormtail so he isn't included in it. I hope you like it!

7. Who Am I?!

"You don't know who I AM?" The stranger exclaimed.

"Well, duh! We just asked you who you were! Of course we don't know!" James exclaimed.

"Don't you guys read?" The stranger asked them.

"Yeah… I guess we do…" Sirius said slowly.

"Then, have you read The Lightning Thief?" The stranger exclaimed.

"Well, not necessarily… why is that important?" Sirius asked.

"Why is that important!?" There is a pause. "Are you to tell me that you have no idea who Percy Jackson is?"

"Well, yeah!!" Sirius and James both exploded while Remus sat back quietly, watching.

The stranger turned away from James and Sirius, shaking his head. "Do you know who I am?" He asked Remus.

"Yes," Remus responded stiffly.

"Do you mind telling them who I am or do I have to tell them?" The stranger asked.

Remus heaved a deep breath and then pulled a copy of The Lightning Thief out and handed it to James, then said, "This –," He said as he gestured to the stranger, "Is Percy Jackson."

"Who's that?" Sirius asked, starting to calm down.

"Read that book," Remus said as he nodded towards the book James was holding, "And you will find out."

Then, Remus got up and walked out of the dormitory, straight into the hall, and then down to the common room.

Sirius and James exchanged looks, and then both started to read the story—taking turns reading out loud. The cloaked figure—Percy Jackson—sat down and made himself comfortable. This was going to be a LONG night.­­­­­­­­­­­

Lily finally climbed through the portrait hole and then, quietly made her way up the stairs leading to her dorm; hoping not to wake her friends.

She walked into the dorm room with all the lights off and started getting ready for bed when all of a sudden a light was switched on and she sees three faces peering at her; Andrea, Amber, and Cherry.

Lily backed up to the wall and then realized that her shirt is only half buttoned up and starts re-doing the buttons. Andrea stares at Lily with her patronizing eyes.

"What were you doing?" Amber asked Lily, looking her up and down and pausing to watch Lily's attempt at buttoning up her shirt.

"What do you mean?" Lily asked sounding confused, "I was getting ready for bed until I got interrupted.

"I think you know what we mean," Cherry exclaimed as she grabbed Lily's wrists and held her against the wall.

"I actually have no idea what you mean! So, go on. Tell me what you mean!" Lily exclaimed as she started to cry.

"Well, here is a starter. What were you doing with Remus?" Andrea asked.

"Studying," Lily answered quietly.

"Studying what?" Amber asked.

"Potions! Duh!" Lily exclaimed impatiently as she started to struggle.

"LILY!" Amber yelled as she walked down to the common room and found Lily asleep on the couch; obviously having a nightmare, "Wake up!"

Lily blinked open her bright green eyes, and looked around the room, and then she calmed down.

"Amber do we have to take her to the hospital wing too?" Andrea asked while Cherry tried to calm Lily down.

"I think we need to," Amber said, "Two of our friends have had nightmares in the past 12 hours! WE need to figure something out, this one looked just as serious as Ashley's was,"

Cherry and Andrea picked Lily up and followed Amber through the portrait hole and then all the way down to the hospital wing where they would visit Ashley and drop off Lily. But, when they arrived at the hospital wing, Ashley already had a visitor; Thierry.

He was sitting there holding their friends hand as though it was the most special thing in the world and it could break in two seconds. Then when he thought no one was looking he leaned over Ashley and kissed her, softly at first, then more fiercely even though all she could do was feel it and not respond very well. For a nightmare it had taken most of her strength so Cherry, Amber, and Andrea were hoping that this might not be the case with Lily. Although they weren't so sure that it would be any different.

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Ashley woke up at midnight and sat up. She looked around and saw that Lily was in the bed beside hers. "That's normal," she thought. Then she saw all of the other beds with other students from different houses and realized just where she was. "The hospital wing," She remembered Thierry visiting her and holding her hand and then suddenly kissing her, she smiled at the thought and tried to picture it in her mind.

Her jet black hair flowing on the pillow underneath her, and Thierry's blonde hair looking as messed up as ever; like he had learned the trait of running his fingers through his hair from James. Then, Thierry leaning forward as he held her gaze intently with his emerald eyes, her similar eyes not being able to look away. Then Thierry's lips on hers, a few seconds later his hands positioned themselves slowly, one moved to her stomach and started stroking softly while the other moved to her neck holding her still. She felt the urge to reach up, wrap her arms around his neck, and pull herself entirely against him; every curve hitting him in just the right spots.

The sound of footsteps woke her from her imagining and she quickly lay back down and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. The footsteps got closer until she knew they were passing the front of her bed then they kept getting closer to her ears. Her heart was pounding and then she felt someone's breath on her face and before she could open her eyes, the person's lips against hers. Then just as quickly as the kiss had started it stopped and she opened her eyes and gasped.
