Chapter Elven:

Thankfully I didn't pass out, dad had everyone sing us happy birthday and two separate cakes were brought out, mine was a large sketch pad with my name written in red and gold writing, Al's was a huge golden stich. Mine was vanilla his was chocolate. I hugged dad when all of that was over, "Thank you so much for this daddy, it's so much, you went all out." I say pulling back. He grins at me his emerald eyes shining, Oh how I wish I had been a real part of this family, I knew I was part of it, but I wish I really was Al's twin, I wanted to look like mom and dad. "You are so very welcome sunshine, I hope you have a wonderful night my dear, your mom and I have a big surprise for you later." He smiles at my, I could see a hint of mischief in his eyes.

Albus drags me onto the dance floor and we dance together, he tries his best to keep me from fainting knowing I hate crowds, "So loving the dress, dad said you designed everyone's, well moms, Lily's, Claire's and yours." I nod.

"That's cool, it looks amazing on you sis, and I'm sure you well catch the attention of a certain someone." I shrug, I didn't care, and I just wanted to have a good time with my family and friends.

After several hours of dancing with many different friends from Gryffindor mom and dad call me up to the stage and everyone comes up to see what was going on. "As everyone knows by now, we adopted Sarah when she was four, the same age as Albus. We knew nothing of her real parents so we felt as though we would be them, but now that you have entered Hogwarts Sarah, I want you to be a real part of the family." He takes a vile of purplish liquid from his suit pocket.

"This is a blood adoption potion Sarah, with both mine and your mother's blood dropped in, when you take this you will officially be a Potter on paper and by blood. You don't have to take it now, but I wanted to give this to you because I want you to be a real Potter not just some signature on a piece of paper stating that you are." My eyes well up with tears as I hug him.

I take the bottle and stick it into my purse to take after the ball was over before walking back towards Albus who was grinning from ear to ear. "You knew about this didn't you?" I ask him as I sit down, he grins and nods, "Yup, dad told me when we arrived at grams and gramps' house, I'm ready for you to take it now, but you can wait, you might pass out from the pain you will go through having to change features and all." I smile though, even though it did sound rather painful.

Scorpius and Rose walk up together and hug me, "We are so excited for you Sarah." Rose says Scorpius nods "I can't wait to see what you look like, not that I don't like how you look now." Albus shakes his head as I smack him.

Finally it's time to open our presents, we each sit by our table both piled high with presents, mom helps me with mine, I open several to reveal new sketchbooks and large sketchpads, I also receive a paint set with magical paint, some Weasley products, new clothes, and many new books. By the end of the night though, I knew I wouldn't ever run out of sketchbooks or sketchpads until at least the end of Hogwarts.

Once the party was over and everyone had left for home except for family and a few friends, we change and hang out in the family room, I grip my potion in my hand, the thing that would change how I looked, "Are you ready?" my mom asks, I nod as everyone watches me, they knew I would be in pain, Draco and his wife were even staying so he could brew me a pain relief potion for when I woke up but he wanted to be here, he had grown fond of me in potions class.

I down the vile and feel it rushing down my throat and feel it reach my gut, once it does the pain hits but I'm knocked out and all I see is black.

I wake up aching, I groan and realize I'm in my room although I had taken that potion on the couch, I try and sit up but every move shoots an electric shock through me making me scream a little, I hear footsteps thudding my way and Scorpius pokes his head in "Your up, here, dad wanted you to take this as soon as you got up." He wasn't look at me more like above me, "How do I look?" I ask him as I take the potion from his hand, finally he looks at me, making eye contact, "You look amazing Sarah, I can't wait for you to see but dad says you need another day before everything is set, here let me help." He says noticing I can hardly move the pain was so intense.

After taking the potion a fall back asleep when I wake again it's nearing midnight because the moon is high in the sky, I'm no longer hurting anymore and I was guessing that I was done with the whole transforming thing, I was scared I'll admit it.

I slowly stood up and notice that my complication had changed to fair with scattered freckles, I get up slowly and while grabbing holding of things I walk into my bathroom and flip on the light, I take a few deep breaths before looking into the mirror, I gasp in shock, I had black hair now and emerald eyes like my dad but fair and freckled skin like mom my eyes well up with tears as I stare at myself, I was so happy to finally look like my parents, I finally felt like I belonged.

I leave the bathroom and walk downstairs slowly I can hear adults whispering in dad's office, I bit my lip and knock loudly, I hear a soft come in and open the door, a hear two sharp inhales before dad walks over, "How are you feeling sunshine?" he asks with a smile, I smile back with matching eyes and say, "I feel amazing dad." Before hugging him
