A/N: I have nothing to say so let's just get on with the story.
…Rosemary ignored everyone and put the sorting hat on her head, she barely put it on when It yelled 'Griffyndor!' and she hurried to the table as quick as she could sitting with the new first years, as far away from Harry as could be. Soon all the quiet and surprise died down and the noise of the term start began again, everyone joking and eating.
"Who is she?" asked Ron.
"Rosemary Potter." Harry murmured.
"I know the girls' name, what's her relation to you!" he asked again.
"I dunno." He said, honestly he didn't know her, before then he hadn't known there was another Potter left in the world.
"She's probably your cousin." Said Hermione.
"How would you know if he doesn't?" asked Ron.
"It's obvious Ron, for one her last name is Potter. That's his dad's last name, his mother's maiden name was Evans and it was her and Petunia that married away. We KNOW it's not Petunia. We don't know if James Potter had a brother, do we?" she made it sound so simple.
"I guess you're right." He gave in.
At the end of the feast Harry and Rosemary were kept behind by Dumbledore and McGonagall, they waited until everyone had gone before they spoke.
"Rosemary is your cousin, Harry." Dumbledore began with. Rosemary smiled awkwardly at him and he tried to smile back, she was still hiding her hand.
"Come now, show the scars." He said. Both revealed their scars, as their scares met one another they glowed. "Both Potters survived attacks by Voldemort that their parents did not, both of you were babies too. Rosemary…" he was interrupted.
"Rose, call me Rose." She said.
"Rose grew up in a muggle orphanage, like you she received the letter, she never read it, the carers disposed of it. She developed her powers in secret on her own and we rescued her. Her father is Greg Potter the younger brother of James. Her story is much the same as yours, she survived the curse used to kill her parents as you did yours. That was the first and last conference she had with Voldemort unlike you Harry. However since now you two are together, you make a very easy target, so we are warning you now to be careful. Professor McGonagall?" he handed her over.
"Many of the Griffyndor's will be asking questions, don't feel you need to answer them if you feel uncomfortable but then again they will help you with the Slytherins which will undoubtedly be causing trouble…as usual. The password is fizz rain. Go to bed! Rose I'm sure Miss. Granger will show you everything." As soon as she finished talking they walked off quietly. As they got to the picture frame, Rose, without a word shoved a screwed up piece of paper into his hand and then they went in.
Rose did the wise thing and went straight to bed, only having to explain to 4 other girls. Everyone else pestered Harry. He sharply told them to mind their business and went to bed saying he'd tell Hermione tomorrow. Ron followed him closely and he told Ron everything. Late at night when everyone was asleep he took the letter and read it:
To Harry,
My name is Rosemary Ann Potter. Please call me, if we ever speak, Rose. I am writing this letter, the day before I get to Hogwarts. I'm sure Dumbledore would have told you everything he knows before you get this letter. Harry, you're my cousin and we have the same blood, I haven't known any family before not even your aunt, uncle or cousin which really are nothing to do with me. I really would like it if we could at least be friends. That's why I'm writing you a letter because I can't tell you face to face without bursting into tears. Please at least owl me back and don't tell more than those close friends of yours about me, it's my life. I have read a lot about you in my week in the wizarding world, staying at the Leaky Cauldron. That's it for now.
Your cousin,
Rose.
As he read the last few words a tear leaked out of his eye. Sure he would write her back, sure he would be her friend, but was anything ever that simple in his life?
A/N: REVIEW PLEEEEASE! Or I'll turn you into a toad! I think it's good, what do you think?
