Chapter 10

Aeris Potter

It wasn't until the next day when Harry woke up. Dumbledore told him as soon as he got better to visit him in his office. When Dumbledore came back into his office he took out Gryffindor's sword from his case and destroyed the stone.

"Now the sword will be stronger." Dumbledore said and put the sword back into the case. He sat at his desk and poured himself a cup of tea. After a hour of me explaining about what Draco told me and how we saved Harry their was a knock at the door and Harry stepped into the room.

"Ah! Harry please take a seat next to Aeris." Dumbledore said as Harry took a seat in the chair next to me.

"Harry I bet you have a lot of questions to ask and so does Aeris here."

"Aeris? She wasn't there though." Harry said looking confused.

"Yes she was. She saved your life. Do you know why Aeris has that triangle scar on her hand?"

"No."

"Voldemort gave it to her. He tried to kill her the same night your parents died. He didn't kill her though. He tried to kill both of you. Well he took Aeris cause she thought she was more of a threat so he thought he could teach her dark magic and she'll become a Death Eater."

"But that didn't happen." Harry said helping himself to a cookie.

"Yes correct. Snape found her. Now Harry let me ask you something. Do you see anything that you and Aeris share?"

Harry looked at me. He studied me for a second.

"She has the same hair and eyes." Harry said.

"Correct. Now remember your mother's face and look at her again."

"Look Dumbledore this makes no sense. I don't see my mother-" Harry stopped and looked at me. He blinked and tears rolled down his face.

"Harry you have a twin sister." Dumbledore said. I looked at Harry.

"He's right Harry. I saw my mother and father. My dad looked a lot like you." I told him. I hugged Harry as he cried into my shoulder.

"Harry... I know your confused but I'll tell you what you should know. Is that okay?"

"Yeah Professor it's okay."

"Good now when you first met Aeris I'm sure you felt connected to her. Though you never met her. When she heard you were trying to save the stone she told me. I gave her a vile that will become 3 different potion bottles with 3 different potions that will save your life. One to help the pain in Ron's leg. One to get Hermione back so she could warn a teacher. The last one to get through the flames so she could save your life. Now how she saved your life is simple. She did the same thing you were trying to do. Burn Quirrell. When she touched him he burned but she also felt pain. She stabbed Quirrell with a pocket knife and killed him. Voldemort's spirit flew off. Now your probably thinking why you felt pain when you touched Quirrell and why he felt pain as well. That's simple. Your mother put her love in both of you. That is why Voldemort couldn't kill both of you. Lily Potter put a spell on you to keep you protected from Voldemort. You both felt pain cause you touched Voldemort." Dumbledore explained.

"I- I think I understand now." Harry said.

"Good then!" Dumbledore said and clapped his hands. "Now we better head down to the Great Hall for the final feast!" All three of us walked out of the office and into the Great Hall where a hundred eyes were on us. Both Harry and I ran to our seats next to Fred and Hermione and watched as Dumbledore got up to the podium and smiled. The room was filled with Green and Silver since Slytherin won the House Cup for the 7th year in a row.

"Another year it has been!" Dumbledore said smiling. The Slytherin table cheered.

"First though I want to hand out last minute points. To Mr. Ronald Weasly for playing the best game of Wizard Chess I give Gryffindor 50 points." Dumbledore said. The Gryffindor table cheered as Ron's face went purple.

"My little brother beat McGonagall's Chess Set!" Percy screamed.

"For Hermione Granger using her brains in a time of need I give Gryffindor another 50 points."

The Gryffindor table shouted louder this time.

"To Mr. Potter. For his brave and daring mind to save Hogwarts in a time of need. I give Gryffindor 60 points."

This time the Gryffindor table shouted so loud Fred covered his ears and cursed under his breath.

"To Mr. Neville Longbottom. For his brave heart I gave him 10 points."

Gryffindor was now in 1st place by 9 points.

"I also want reward another house. To. Mr. Draco Malfoy." The whole hall grew quiet.

"What?" Ron said looking angry.

"For his great flying skills and his last minute thought to save someone he never once thought he would. I give Slytherin 100 points."

Slytherin was now in first place which made the Gryffindor team moan.

"I want one last minute person to have points though. For her bravery, courage, and love of her brother. She saved her brother by using his method he tried to use. This girl is brave and was put into the correct house. She saved not only her brother but Mr. Malfoy, and a stone someone wanted very bad. I give 100 points to Gryfindor because Aeris Potter saved the day." Dumbledore announced.

The Gryffindor tabled screamed. It was like a explosion went off.

"So we have some things to change." And with a flick of his wand Dumbledore turned the Slytherin flags into gold and scarlet Gryffindor flags. The whole hall (except the Slytherin table) was shouting GRYFFINDOR!

"Let's Eat!" Dumbledore said. I have never tasted better food that night.

"Ow! Fred! You just hit me with your trunk!" Ron said angrily.

"Sorry." Fred said laughing. We all tried to fit into a train compartment but it ended with all of us sitting in the snack car drinking Butterbeers and eating cakes.

Hermione, Lavender, Fred, George, Ron, Lee, Harry, Seamus, Neville, Dean, and I were partying until the little old witch said we had to leave the car. We walked into the Slytherin car and as we passed most of the kids hissed at us but Malfoy opened the door and taunted Harry.

"So Malfoy what did you do to get house points?" Fred asked him.

"I told Dumbledore where all you guys were. Got a problem with it?" Draco said.

"Yeah. You saved my life. Why?" Harry asked.

"So I could make fun of you more. Now leave me be." Draco said and slammed the compartment door. We all walked into the Gryffindor and sat in the small hallway.

"He wanted to save Aeris's life not yours Harry." Fred said.

"Kinda figured." Harry said and everyone started to laugh. Only two people in this group knew the reason why. Neville and Hermione. After the feast I told Neville the whole story and he promised he would never tell anyone.

After a few hours the train came to a stop at King's Cross Station. We all said our goodbyes and started to walk off the train. When I saw Snape waiting for me he understood that nobody knew that he was like my father and started to talk to a lady with black hair and blond highlights and a man with really long blonde hair.

"Well have a good time in Rome! Write will you?" Hermione asked.

"I will!" I told her. She ran to her parents as did the Weasley's after goodbye hugs.

"Aeris!" Shouted Lee.

"Yeah?"

Lee walked over and handed me another picture. It was a picture of all of us laughing at the Feast the other night.

"Thought you might like it. Oh and take the Percy Article to. To remind yourself how awesome I am." Lee said and hugged me goodbye. He turn and ran to his parents and little sister.

"Have a good summer sister!" Harry said. I turned and smiled at him.

"From now on we write. All the time." I told him with Lynn on my shoulder. Harry had Hedwig on his and grinned.

"Sure. It can't be a lot though. My Aunt and Uncle aren't magic people. They hate magic." Harry said.

"I know. Dumbledore told me all about them."

"Have a good summer Aeris!" Harry shouted and ran over to the Weasley family. I turned and walked over to Snape and the Malfoy family.

"Are you finally done saying goodbye?" Draco said.

"Yes." I said laughing. Mrs. Malfoy gave me a hug and I shook Mr. Malfoy's hand. At that we were the last family in the station and walked out. Draco and I held hands and ran through the wall. When we were in the Muggle station Snape directed us to the streets where a Ministry of Magic car was waiting for us. We walked out of the station and I thought about all the lessons I sat in at school. All the friends I made. All the fun times I shared with Fred and George. All the Quidditch matches I watched with Lee Jorden. All the books I read with Hermione. All the times I play Chess with Ron and lost. All the time I talked about guys with Lavender. All the times I helped Neville out in Potions or Transfiguration with Seamus and Dean. The moment I realized Harry Potter way my twin brother. Then I looked back at the hour I skated with Draco Malfoy on the lake. The greatest hour of my life. I touched the silver bow in my hair and smiled. I was still holding Draco's hand as we walked out of the station.
