The Continuing Scar
Chapter Two
The Time Has Come
Daisy stared at the people in front of her…her "parents" and Albus Dumbledore.
"So let me get this straight…you expect me to believe that I'm the daughter of James and Lily Potter AND the twin sister of Harry Potter?" Dumbledore nodded his head. "Not to be rude or anything but…Do you think I was born yesterday? That is completely insane!"
"Young lady you are very gifted in the magical arts…the necklace around neck open it." Daisy looked at Dumbledore puzzled,
"It can't…I've tried to open it before."
"My dear this time don't use your head…use your heart." Daisy took the necklace off and placed it on the table in front of her. Closing her eyes she placed on hand over the necklace and thought about her heart opening the locket. She felt heat blaze under her hands. She lifted her hand to see the locket slowly opening…
Inside there was a moving image of James, Lily, Harry and herself in a hospital. She closed the locket quickly.
"All right so maybe I am a Potter…why then was I not there when you know who killed them?"
"To protect you and Harry your parents split the two of you up at birth…they gave you to the care of your Godfather…Sirius Black. The scar on your forehead I believe it to be the continued scar of Harry Potter's. I believe the two of you mentally combined that night each taking half of the curse…it is the only way I can think of that made Harry survive." There was an awkward pause throughout the room,
"Does Harry know?" there was another pause
"No he does not."
"When do you plan on telling him?"
"When you arrive at Hogwarts on September first." Daisy nodded her head and clipped the necklace back around her neck,
"All right then…September first."
The rest of August seemed to fly by all too quickly for Daisy. She made several trips to Diagon Alley to pick up things that she would be needing…each trip was different from the last, she kept on finding new and interesting things. After a quick trips to Gringotts the Wizard Bank, she discovered that her parents and left her and her brother quiet a bit of money for their future. It was difficult for her to remember not to spend all her money on everything that she wanted…she needed that money to help her get through the rest of her years at Hogwarts and her brother as well. Before she knew it, it was the day before she needed to be at platform 9 ¾. She spent the day with her brother and sister, they both whished her lots of luck. Gerald would most likely be starting at Hogwarts next year so he made her promise to tell him every little detail about it. That night as Daisy lay in her bed, she began to wonder what it would be like…she would be arriving at the school by this time tomorrow…she would have a new last name and a brother she never got the chance to know before now. It was making her kind of nervous. What if he didn't believe her? What if he thought she was just some fan that wanted an excuse to talk to him? Or worse…what if he thought she was lying. It was hard enough for her to hear the news by herself, for crying out loud she was still trying to digest everything that happened. She took several deep breathes to calm herself. No sense in getting nervous now…she could do that later. She needed sleep right now and she could worry about what will happen tomorrow.
"So let me get this straight you want ME to RUN into THAT wall?" Daisy asked as she stared up at her parents.
"That's the only way to get onto the platform, dear."
"No there has to be another way. I'm not running into a wall."
"Excuse me." A tall redhead pushed past them.
"HEY!" Daisy yelled as the second one almost knocked her over.
"Sorry" he yelled back. The first redhead turned and yelled over his shoulder
"RON! HARRY! Lets get a move on we're gonna miss the train." From a couple of feet back another redhead and a boy with black hair came running,
"We're coming." The redhead pushed his way through with the black haired kid right behind him.
"You guys ready?"
"Right with you George."
"Harry you ready?" However Harry wasn't looking at them, he was to busy looking at Daisy, the four boys were now staring at her.
"Um Hello?" Daisy asked. The three redheads shook there heads,
"Hey Harry if I didn't know any better I would say that was a female version of yourself." Harry shook his head and smiled at her.
"Yeah, too right George." The boy named George motioned towards her.
"Ladies first." He said, taking a deep breath Daisy ran at the wall and suddenly she was on platform 9 ¾.
Daisy sat in one of the trains many compartments alone. In the background she could hear laughter of her future classmates. The atmosphere was so beautiful outside, it almost made her forget about what she was about to do. She sighed, it had a very calming affect. She then noticed that there was another person in the compartment with her. She turned slowly to see none other then Harry Potter standing there looking rather uneasily at her. Without any warning he sat down next to her. "Who are you?" he blurted out.
"What do you mean?" Daisy countered. He stood up again and began pacing back and fourth in the compartment,
"You look to old to be a first year, but I've never seen you before so you must me new." He sat down across from her, "And you look almost exactly like me," he looked her over, "That is in female form," he locked eyes with her again, "So I'll ask again…who are you?" Daisy took a deep breath, she wasn't suppose to tell him until they were with Dumbledore.
"I can't tell you everything right now," she said, unclasping her necklace, "But maybe this will help explain a couple of your questions." She held her necklace out to him, "But your hand over it," Harry looked at her strangely, "Just do it," she said smiling, he smiled and put his hand over hers, Daisy then placed her other hand over his, "Now close your eyes and think with your heart not your brain," Harry took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Daisy watched him as she felt the heat from their hands radiate of the locket, Harry's eyes flashed open.
"What's happening?" he whispered. Daisy grasped his hand with her and removed it. The locket slowly opened revealing the family inside. Harry stared at it dumbfounded, "How?" he started, "When?...Why?" he couldn't take his eyes off the locket.
"Dumbledore said that when we got to the school he would explain everything to you." Harry tore his eyes away from the locket and looked at her,
"How long have you known?"
"About a month now." She looked at Harry, "You can't tell anyone unless Dumbledore says its all right." Harry clutched his head. "I know it's a little hard to grasp all at once isn't it?" he nodded his head.
"Are we interrupting anything?" Harry and Daisy both looked to see the Weasley twins and Ron standing in the doorway. "Not at all." Harry said motioning for them to sit down.
"So Harry who is your look a like friend?" One of the twins asked sitting down next to Daisy.
Harry looked up, "O um this is uh…"
She smiled at the boys, "Daisy. Daisy Black." Harry's head shot back up and looked into her eyes, "I told you it will be explained later." She mouthed to Harry and he nodded in understanding.
"I don't know what going on between the two of you, but you know we will eventually find out so you might as well tell us." Said one of the twins,
"I see mischief makers you must be Fred and George Weasley then." The last red head looked at her,
"How did you know that?"
Daisy looked over at Harry, "I don't know…" she whispered touching her forehead, just then a girl entered,
"There you guys are. Ginny and I have been looking every where for you guys." She sat down next to George and across from Ron, "Who is your new friend?" she asked.
"I'm Daisy." She said smiling at Hermione. A through crossed her mind 'why is George looking at Daisy like that?' the voice sounded to be Harry's.
"What do you mean?" Daisy asked turned to Harry.
"What? I didn't say anything." Daisy looked at him puzzled. 'I could of sworn he did…' she thought.
"But I didn't!" Harry looked at her shocked, "You didn't say that did you?" Daisy nodded her head. The both reached up and touched their foreheads. Harry for the first time noticed the scar on her forehead, "O my god…" he whispered. Then they both screamed,
"Get out of my head!" Daisy screamed at him.
"ME! You stay out of my head!" he yelled back, 'I didn't do it purposely' he heard her voice whisper across his brain.
Her eyes lit up, "SEE! You did it again! Get out of my head!" she started banging her head against the window. Harry clutched his head,
"Daisy stop that hurts!"
"GOOD! Maybe you'll stay out of my head then!" she continued to bang her head against the window. Harry grabbed her shoulders and pulled her down on to the floor holding her down.
"STOP! We need to stay calm."
"CALM! You can read my mind!" she yelled back 'Where's Madam Pomfrey when you need her?' his eyes lit up,
"GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!"
"I CAN'T HELP IT!"
"STOP IT!"
"THEN STOP THINKING SO LOUDLY." Someone in the background cleared their throat. They two looked up to see, the twins, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny looking at them strangely. They both sat up quickly, Harry and Daisy glared at each other before crossing their arms and looking out the window.
"Does anyone know what just happened here?" Ginny asked.
"Not a clue." Ron said scratching his head. Just then the Witch with the trolley came by,
"Anything off the trolley, dears?"
"NO!" Daisy and Harry yelled at the same time, the glared at each other again, "STAY OUT OF MY THOUGHTS!" the glared and turned away again.
"Any one else completely lost?" George asked looking back and forth from the girl next to him to his little brother's best friend, five people raised their hands and the Hogwarts Express continued its way to Hogwarts.
When they got to Hogwarts Harry and Daisy practically flew off the train, when they got out Hagrid was waiting for them. He smiled at the two, "There is a special coach that is to take you two directly to Dumbledore." He pointed them towards it and then started calling the first years to him. Daisy and Harry hurried over to the coach and soon it was heading towards the school. When they got there Professor McGonagall was waiting for them.
"If you two will please follow me." She said, Harry and Daisy exchange nervous glances, nervousness creeping under her skin, 'You nervous?' she asked Harry in her mind, she saw Harry jump a little when she said it, 'Yeah, a little, you?' he said looking back at her, 'Do I even have to tell you?' her mind asked smiling at him, 'You know this reading minds thing is pretty cool once you get over the initial shock of it all.' Harry said in his mind again, 'sorry about the thing on the train' she said back to his mind, nervously Harry took her hand 'No worries…we're in this together now.' Daisy squeezed his hand.
"Right." She said out loud.
"We're here." McGonagall said, "What were you two talking about back there?" she asked looking at them suspiciously.
"Nothing." They both said at once.
"Go on up you go." She said motioning them up, still holding hands Harry and Daisy slowly began to climb the stairs to Albus Dumbledore's office.
