Chapter 1

Changes in Appearances

Disclaimer: Anything you recognize from the book is JKR's. Anything unrecognizable is mine.

It was 1 am at 4 Privet Drive, everything looked normal to most muggle eyes, but is it? Everyone in 4 Privet Drive was asleep except for a skinny boy of fifteen. He'd turned 15 exactly one hour ago and was working on an essay. A wizard or witch would recognize this boy as Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived. He was working on his Potions essay on the Misty Potion. Why, you may ask is he up at this hour doing homework? Mainly it is because of his muggle relatives, the Dursleys. They despise anything magic. If they knew he was doing his homework, he would receive a beating from his uncle. At that moment three owls flew in his window. Each carrying packages and letters for harry. You might think he doesn't have any siblings. But you are wrong. His twin, Molly was in America at the moment. Dumbledore thought it would be best if they were separated for the summer because of Voldemort's rising last June. Harry decided to open the letter bearing the Hogwarts crest first as that would tell him what he would need for his fifth year.

Mr. Harry J. Potter,

I'm pleased to announce that you have been made prefect. Here is a list of the other prefects.

Gryffendor- Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.

Slytherin- Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Pansy Parkinson.

Ravenclaw- Terry Boot, Cho Chang, and Sarah Ward.

Hufflepuff- Hannah Abbot, Ernie Macmillian, and Matt Malfoy.

Enclosed you will find your school supply list, your prefects robes and your prefects badge. Hermione will tell you the passwords, as I cannot hold a prefect meeting because I must do the sorting. You shall see why. I will see you at the start of term feast on September 1.

Professor M. McGongall

Deputy Headmistress

PS. Molly is head prefect of all houses so she is not on the list.

Next Harry opened a letter from Ron and Hermione.

Harry,

Hermione said this letter should be from the both of us because we are both at my house. So it is. Since Dumbledore will not let you visit us this summer, we hope that you can meet us at Diagon Alley on August 31. Happy 15th birthday. I hope the muggles are treating you ok.

Ron and Hermione

He opened his last letter. It was from Snuffles.

Harry-

Happy Birthday. If your scar hurts write to Dumbledore immediately. Do not try to write me until you get another letter from me. Enjoy you present.

Snuffles

Next he turned to his presents. Ron had gotten him a mini-Qudditch set with a short note saying: you might need this, this year- Ron

Hermione had given him a 150-galleon gift certificate to Quality Qudditch Supply in Diagon Alley. Snuffles had sent him a lifetime supply of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. Remus had sent him a lifetime supply of dungbombs to be used on slytherins only. After opening his presents he fell asleep on his bed. In his dream he was back at the graveyard. A voice surrounded him "Harry you killed me!" Harry recognized it instantly as Cedric's voice. The voice kept repeating, " You killed me! I hate you" He woke up after Cedric's voice repeated it for the tenth time. He looked at his clock it said: 2 am. He decided to finish his potions essay on the Misty potion, which disguises a person's true identity right after they are born. It starts to wear off when the person turns 15. After finishing it he wrote Dumbledore about his dream. He was really worried about his godfather who had told him not to contact him. He decided to see what books he needed:

Defend Yourself Against the Dark Arts by Remus Lupin

The Standard Book of Spells Grade 5

Crystal Ball by Sybil Trelawney

Monster Book 2 by Newt Schmander

Useful Charms by Lindsey Finnigan

Harmful Charms by Lily Potter

Advanced Potions by Severus Snape

Yuck he thought we need a book by Professor Trelawney and Professor Snape. Disgusting. The rest of the summer flew by and soon it was August 31. After saying good-bye to the Dursleys he took the Knight Bus to Diagon Alley where he meet the Weasleys and Hermione. After they got their school things, Harry used his gift certificate to buy everyone who wanted one, including himself, a Firebolt 2001. "Wow, Thanks Harry!" Fred, George, Ginny, and Ron said in unison. The next day they took Ministry cars to Kings Cross-Station. After going through the barrier they ran into Molly. "Harry!" she said. "Hey, Molly how was America?" "It was ok, but I missed England, and my friends and brother terribly. When they got on the train, Hermione told them the password:

Snape Sucks. " You changed, I didn't notice it before but your hair is longer and you're taller then Ron now. Oh___My____God, Harry you look like Snape. And so do you Molly.

"What?" Harry snarled. "You even sound like him. Hermione said handing them a mirror.

They looked into the mirror…

A/N my first cliffie. HA HA HA. Read and Review I had this idea in my head for a while. Ever since I read Sveritus's Challenge, and her story A Father's Sin and since I read Snake and the wolf: the finding and its sequel by Saerry Snape. Tell me what you think. At least 5 reviews and the next chapter goes up after I write it.
