Author's Note - Hey, it's again me Keara Jordan. I took a break from my other stories to try and write a new one. I won't tell you much of the plot. It may get confusing at times but hold on and it will come clear in the end. If you need anything explained just ask in an email or review. I hope you like this new story. It's detected to anyone who has a dream in this world, and to my friend Amy who is always there for me. Ok the title is sister and brother, this is not about Harry having a sister!!!!! I like those kinds of stories but it's just not possible. I like to right about things that have a chance of happening. Here's the story:
~Harry and the gang in the Great Hall for the Start of Term feast~
The last first year, Conor Zacnity, had been sorted into Ravenclaw. Harry, Ron, and Hermione eagerly awaited the feast. Ron had been complaining he was starved. "When will it start," Ron moaned. Harry sighed and looked at Dumbledore who stood up.
"Welcome, welcome." Dumbledore started. "To a new year at Hogwarts School. I would just like to remind you all to be extra careful this year." His eyes darted over to Harry and Ron. "Especially with the Dark Lord rising again. Also as you all have heard Merlin's School of Magic in America was attacked over the summer. There were few survivors, but still they need a new place to learn magic. So we will be getting three new students this year. If they would please come to the front of the hall."
A door off to the side of the hall opened. Three people walked in, two of them, both boys, were most likely seventh years the other one, a girl, looked about 14-15 so Harry wasn't sure. The first ones to reach Dumbledore were the boys. They looked identical, both tall, wavy black hair, dark colored eyes, and light brown skin. The girl quickened her pace and reached the boys. She was about Ginny's height, with long brown/black hair, light green eyes.
Dumbledore smiled at them and the girl relaxed a little. "I'd like to welcome Mr. Davis Rancher and Mr. Devon Rancher to seventh year and Miss Morgan Black our new fourth year."
Everyone clapped politely. Hermione leaned over to Harry and Ron. "You know Morgan la Fay was a dark witch. She practiced dark magic and was an enemy of Merlin. Just to be safe I think you should watch out for her Harry."
"Do you think she's related to Sirius? Her last name is Black," Ron said. Harry hadn't thought of that. He looked at her. Morgan sort of looked like Sirius, when he was younger.
"You shouldn't ask. If she is she won't want to talk about it to a stranger." Hermione replied. Ron glared at her. Harry turned his attention back to the front of the hall.
Davis was being sorted. After a minute the hat yelled, "RAVENCLAW!" Devon went forward next, the hat yelled, "RAVENCLAW." Devon sat down next to his twin and Morgan put the hat on her head. Morgan sat under the hat thinking about what house she'd be in. A voice said in her ear. "Hello. Now, I have to sort you don't I? Hmmmm....difficult...very difficult. Just like your brother, you are. Your parents were much easier, both fit into Ravenclaw. Though I can see you in Gryffindor like your brother was. How is he by the way?"
Morgan shrugged and thought. "I don't know. I never met him."
"Quite sorry," The hat answered. "You would have liked him. Oh well, let's get to the sorting. You are trustworthy but no Hufflepuff not patient enough. You are smart like a Ravenclaw, but not the study type. You rely on what you know and never study. You are loyal and brave but not all the time, so not all around Gryffindor. You have alot of ambition but aren't a Slytherin person. I'd say Slytherin or Gryffindor. Your gift would be honored in Slytherin but unless you let them know you'll be shunned. You'd make fast friends with Gryffindors."
"People are starting to get impatient. Can you please choose quickly?" Morgan asked politely.
"Oh, of coarse. I'll put you in.....GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted the last word to the listening hall. The Gryffindors clapped as Morgan came and sat down next to Ginny.
"Hi," Ginny said. "I'm Ginny Weasley. We'll be fourth years together. I was so glad when I heard you were in fourth year. I'm the only fourth year Gryffindor girl. Other than me there are six boys. So it's nice to have some company."
"Really?" Morgan asked sounding interested. "In my old school there were only four boys in my year and like twenty five girls! I was so sick of the girls. I hung out with the four boys in my year to get away from them. I'm not really a girlie girl, though I'm not a Tom boy either. I'm in the middle you know."
"Cool," Ginny exclaimed. "I'm in a way like that too! I love to get dressed up and stuff, but I hate make-up and all that other girl stuff. I don't play sports but I love to watch them. Most of my friends are boys, and seeing as I have six brothers it helps."
"You have six brothers cool! I had one but I never met him." Morgan replied sadly.
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok. So what kind of place is Hogwarts?"
Dinner went pretty much like that. Morgan and Ginny talked all through dinner about this and that. Harry told Hermione and Ron about Sirius and soon everyone found themselves in the common room. Harry and Ron went up to their room and immediately fell asleep. Hermione went up to her room to read. Big surprise there. Ginny and Morgan went up to their room to talk about some of the cute guys at the feast.
"I couldn't stop staring at Harry!" Ginny exclaimed. "I want to ask him out so badly but am way to chicken."
"I liked the boy next to Harry," Morgan
said blushing. "You know your brother...Ron."
Ginny and Morgan went in to a fit
of laughter. "Oh! If you married Ron you'd be my sister!"
Morgan laughed. "Yeah that would be cool! I'd like to get to know Ron before asking him out. I'm still a little attached to a boy from my old school." Morgan got a far away look on her face and snapped back to reality. "But, you know Harry and should ask him out. Just go up to him and say Harry would you like to go to Hogsmead with me. If you want we can make it a group thing. You, me, Ron, Harry, and their friend....Hermione I think. Hermione can bring a boy and we'll go in couples."
"Ok," Ginny replied. "Thanks Morgan. Good night." Ginny climbed into her bed, as Morgan climbed into hers.
"Night Ginny."
(Author's note - This story will at the moment center around Morgan and Ginny.)

Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked down together to breakfast the next morning. They took seats across from Ginny and Morgan. "So, that's Snape," Morgan was saying. "Creepy. He looks like he needs a shower." Ginny laughed into her pumpkin juice. "I'm not joking," Morgan said laughing. "You said there's a Defense Against the Dark Arts Class where's that teacher."
"I don't know," Ginny replied, still laughing. "Dumbledore said last night that he'd be arriving today. We have him at the end of the day so we'll see."
"We have Snape first." Morgan groaned. "What a great way to start the day! He's like this teacher I used to have Mr. Tamagini. Everyone hated him! He was also a potions teacher. I'm great at potions, but he tried to give me an F!"
"What's give me an F?" Ginny asked.
"Oh it's different here isn't it. Er.....it's a zero, a failing grade."
"Oh ok. Sounds just like Snape."
The rest of breakfast was quiet until the owls flew in. Hedwig soared over to Harry. Harry quickly untied the letter and read it to Ron and Hermione.
Dear Harry,
How are you? I heard you'd be getting
some new students this year. I know one of them is in Gryffindor and a
year under you. I've heard some rumors that she works for Voldemort. I
don't know for sure if they're true but just keep clear of her. I'll be
there if you need me. I'll see you much sooner than you think so look out
for me. Watch out and be careful. Best of luck in your fifth year. Send
my best to Ron and Hermione. Buckbeak and Remus say hi. See you all soon.
With Love,
Sirius
"Well," Ron said breaking the silence. "That's good I guess."
Harry nodded and watched as a tiny brown and black owl gave Morgan a letter. He also listened as she read it to Ginny.
Dear Little M,
Hey guess
who? It's me Owen! I can't believe you got into Hogwarts! I'm at Ami's
University of Sorcery and the Magical Arts. Logan is here too. It's in
Australia! Everyone here talks WAY different then us, Dude! They don't
even say DUDE! Logan and I think they're nuts! But the Headmistress let
us keep our Nintendo system. My mum wanted me to go here and Logan to go
to Hogwarts! I was all like MUM we're twins we're supposed to be together.
So she put us here. Dad didn't care but he's a muggle so he wouldn't know.
Any cool Dudes or Chicks over there? I know you hate the word Chicks but
Logan wanted it in there. Any good sports? I hate this place no snow boards!
You would hate it here! NO SNOWBOARDING!I can't believe it! THEY WANT TO
KILL ME!!!!! ~-^ Ok, maybe not kill me but.....god I just miss you girl.
I'll try to sneak over during winter break with Logan. The whole gang will
try to meet up at Hogwarts. You, me, Logan, Cam, and Zac. The Rebels all
together for Christmas! Cam and Zac went to some place in Mexico called
Mexicans and Magic Society. Zac nick named in M&Ms! HA! He must
really miss America, I think we all do. :( I still can't believe Tommy's
gone.....I keep expecting him to just come bounding through the door talking
yelling about the newest color of boxers he got from you. I still laugh
every time I put on underwear! I gotta go. Logan said hi, we miss you.
Hope to see you soon.
Sending love, friendship, and tears,
Owen and Logan(Who is snoring like a hippogriff right
now)
Morgan smiled as she read the letter. Harry saw a tear run down her cheek, Ginny saw it too. "Are you ok," Ginny asked. "What's wrong? Who's Tommy?"
Morgan nodded. "Yeah....Tommy was my best friend. He and I grew up together since birth. We were born on the exact same day and time, in the same hospital, in the same room. My mum is his mum's best friend. My dad is his dad's best friend. So it was like fate. We grew up, rarely ever leaving each other. Tommy and I went to school together....and after we turned eleven we were NEVER apart. I was even with him the night our school was attacked."
"Woah," Ginny gasped.
"I know. He had realized what was going on and ran to wake me up. Tommy had already alerted everyone else and wanted to make sure I got out alive. He and I were running down a hallway and a death eater came up to us. Tommy jumped in front of me. The death eater told him to get out of the way and to hand me over. Tommy refused to. The death eater hit him with a spell that sent him crashing into a wall. The death eater turned his wand on me and yelled AVADA KADAVERA! Tommy......he...he leapt in the way and was hit with it. The death eater stepped forward and fell into a trap door. So, I was left alone in the hallway with Tommy." Morgan stopped her, she had a look that said she was in her own world.
"Tommy had fallen into my arms. He wasn't quite dead yet. He stayed alive long enough to say his last words to me. They were....'Morgan, I want you to know I love you more than life itself. After I die I'll be your guardian angel, I'll watch over you and make sure you're ok. Take care of the gang and yourself. Don't worry, we'll still be together. Tommy and Morgan Together forever." Morgan let a couple more tears run down her face before brushing them away with her hand.
"I'm...really really sorry Morgan." Ginny said.
Morgan nodded. "Just like Owen said...I some times expect him to come bouncing into the room babbling on about something. I dream about that night all the time. I can still hear those words some times. If I could even have five more minutes with him I'd give anything for it." Morgan sighed. "I'm going to go get my books. I'll see you in class." Morgan got up and left the table leaving Ginny, Ron, Harry, and Hermione in shock and amazement.
"That's so sad," Ginny said.
"I know," Ron added.
"RON! Was she talking to you?" Ginny practically yelled. "I don't think she wanted you to know that so don't say anything! But, you're right that's so sad."
"It might have been an act," Hermione pointed out. Everyone glared at her. "WHAT! Morgan la Fay was a dark powerful witch. She said any child given the name Morgan would turn out dark."
Ginny stood up. "So what Hermione? Does that mean Morgan is dark? A crazy old cow said that thousands of years ago! I doubt it would matter now! How would Morgan la Fay even know that unless she was a diviner? I thought you were better than that!" Ginny then stormed out of the hall, leaving Hermione stunned.
"Ginny's right," Harry whispered. "I don't think Morgan is dark. That look....in her eyes when she was saying that stuff.. it had to be true. I just know it come on we'll be late for Divination, and I have to stop by Dumbledore's office."
Harry walked to Dumbledore's office. Ron walked to divination. Hermione walked to Arithmancy. Ginny and Morgan met up and walked together to Potions. Ginny and Morgan took seats together near the back on the Gryffindor side of the room. The bell rang and Snape swept into the classroom. He began quickly taking attendance.
He stopped at Morgan. "Well, well, well Miss United States will be joining us today." He walked and stood in front of Morgan. "You will not be getting any special treatment in this class. Let's test the little Americans knowledge. You know you'll be representing Americans every where. So you better give them a good reputation."
The Slytherins snickered but Morgan nodded. "Tell me American what do I get when I mix Dragon heart strings, and oak wood?"
"Er....a wand," Morgan suggested. The Slytherins snickered even harder. Morgan blushed bright red.
Snape smirked. "Let's try again. Where do I find a telephrone?"
"A...a muggle house." Morgan tried.
"I said telephrone not telephone!" Snape yelled. "How about how to locate a suffocating potion in a drink?"
Morgan smiled. "There is usually a smell of lilacs or roses in the drink. If the smell is covered, it's harder to tell. Though if you add a drop of water and the drink turns yellow with blue swirls it's a suffocating potion. The only other way is to drink it."
Snape glared at her. "I guess Americans only know how to suffocate people because they've had practice. Ten points from Gryffindor for your lip."
"I got it right though!" Morgan said.
"Quiet girl!"
"But, I got it right and you took away house points! That's wrong! I should be getting points for that! It's a seventh year level potion and question!" Morgan said jumping to her feet.
Snape looked her in the eye. It couldn't be her....how could she be here? Yet....she is the right age and she looks so much like her brother. She....IT'S HER!!! No....there is no way I'll be teaching the younger sister of a man who tried to murder me! Snape grabbed Morgan's arm and started dragging her towards the door. He yelled to the class. "Stay put or you'll all get a detention!" He slammed the door behind him and started off up the stairs.
"LET ME GO SNAPE!!" Morgan shouted.
"SHUT UP!" He yelled back tightening his grip on her arm. They were heading straight towards Dumbledore's office. They reached the gargoyle and Snape shouted the password. "Sour Frog Spawn!" The gargoyle stepped aside and Snape dragged the girl up the stairs. He threw the door open and walked in front of Dumbledore's desk, taking no notice of Harry and the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher sitting in the corner.
"Severus will you please let go of Miss Black." Dumbledore said. Snape did so, Morgan rubbed her arm. It was red from where he had been holding it. "Severus what is the matter?"
"SHE IS!" Snape yelled pointing at Morgan. "I will not teach her! You know what her brother did! He almost killed me twice! And yet you expect me to just go and teach her! SHE IS JUST LIKE HIM! I REFUSE TO TEACH BLACK!"
"MY BROTHER DID NO SUCH THING!" Morgan yelled back.
Snape leaned forward and glared at her. "And how do you know that?" He asked evilly.
"I....I just know." Morgan replied. "Besides you have no proof!"
"PROOF! HE KILLED FOURTEEN PEOPLE WITH A SINGLE CURSE! He also betrayed his two best friends! I think that's proof enough." Snape sneered.
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Morgan I know for a fact that your brother twice tried to kill Sirius. Though I also know that Professor Snape once tried to kill him back. Yet I don't see why to judge you for the actions of another." Morgan nodded but Snape looked murderous.
"I will not teach the younger sister of Sirius Black! It's bad enough teaching Potter but with her....NO NO! Dumbledore there is no way I'll teach that....that....that girl."
"HELLO! I'm standing right here! Don't talk about me like I'm not even here!"
Dumbledore again cleared his throat. "Severus we will solve this later, please return to your class." Snape nodded and left. "Now Miss Black, why don't you return to the common room until lunch. Then you mat proceed on to your other classes."
Morgan nodded and started to leave but then turned around. "Professor? Will everyone here judge me because Sirius is my brother?"
"I hope not." Dumbledore replied.
"Do you know.....what I am, sir?" Morgan asked cautiously. "Will it be a problem having me here?"
Dumbledore smiled. "I do know about you Morgan, and I assure you it is not problem having you with us. It, in fact, is an honor." Morgan smiled and left softly closing the door.
Sirius, in the disguise of the new
Defense Against the Dark Arts teach, stepped out of the shadows with Harry.
"Dumbledore...is that girl really my little sister?" Sirius asked.
