Being a Potter
Hermione groaned and rolled out of bed. The sun shone in on her face as she looked around her dormitory room. The curtains were pulled closed on all the beds except for one. It was one of the new transfer twins, Christine Potter(yes, there is a relation, but you don't know it yet), from America. Hermione stumbled to Christine's bed and smiled. Christine was flipping through her muggle photo book. Christine looked up and smiled at Hermione.
"This one's my mom." Christine pointed to a picture of a woman with green eyes and brown/red hair. Hermione blinked.
"She looks familiar. Did she take you to the train station?"
Christine swallowed heavily, "She died a month after I was born. She was murdered."
"Oh my God! I'm sorry!" Hermione sat on Christine's bed and hugged her. Christine smiled weakly.
"It's okay… I don't remember her anyway…." Christine trailed off. She paused then pointed to a picture of a tall man with black hair(he is NOT Harry's dad), "That's my dad… he died too."
"He looks familiar too…" Hermione paused, "… What's his name?"
"Tom Riddle."
Hermione gasped.
"What?" Christine looked up.
"You're father… did he have another son?"
"Yeah… his name was Tom Riddle too…"
"Oh my God…."
"WHAT?!"
"What was you're mother's name?"
"Lily Potter…"
Hermione started.
"Um…. Chrissie, dear?"
"What?"
"You know Harry Potter?"
"Yeah…"
"He's your half brother."
Christine and Hermione thundered into the common room and straight to Harry. Harry looked at them.
"Hi Hermione and um….. Christine?"
"Harry… I have to tell you something. Christine is your half sister."
Harry looked around. "No… Potter's just a common name…."
"Not this common." Hermione turned to Christine, "Name your mother and father."
"Tom Riddle and Lily Potter"
Harry passed out.
By lunch time, everyone knew that Christine and her identical twin, Monica, were half sisters of Harry Potter. They also knew who the father was. Students were skirting around them in the halls and whispering about them as they passed. Harry was pale when Christine and Monica joined him at the lunch table.
"So… you two were born a month before my- our mom was killed?" he spoke softly
"Looks like it…" Monica sighed
"So that means she cheated on my dad with your dad."
"Look… I'm really sorry… we didn't do any of this…"
"I know… it's just…"
"We were the result of cheating?"
"Yeah… I guess…"
"So who is this Voldemort guy everyone's talking about?" Monica looked around.
"Only the baddest wizard of them all."
"What does he have to do with us?"
"He's your other half brother."
There was silence. Hermione and Ron sat next to them and two other girls, Kat and Katy sat on their other side.
"We're half evil?" Christine asked.
"You're also half Potter." Kat said
"You're a combination of the two greatest wizarding families ever…" Katy said.
"And the most famous" said Ron
Hermione was silent. For the first time in her life, she thought it better not to speak.
