Some years later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
16 year old, Harry Potter sat pick nonchalantly at his breakfast. The kitchen was silent except the occasional rustle of a newspaper and a sip of tea. The only one eating was Harry and he could feel the silence closing in on him. He glanced up and saw Aunt Petunia glaring at him. Uncle Vernon was ignoring him behind his newspaper. Dudley was nowhere in sight. Probably hiding, Harry thought.
Dudley was now terrified of any sorts of wizarding stuff. After his encounter with Hagrid, he got scared. Then when Harry blew up Aunt Marge, he was panicked. After the Ton Tongue Toffee incident he was really, really scared. And after last summer he was terrified. He was especially terrified of Harry's room.
Last summer, when Harry was dragging his trunk up the stairs to his bedroom, Dudley kicked it down the stairs out of spite. When the trunk hit the bottom of the stairs, it split open, revealing a bag of chocolate frogs and Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. Harry had gathered it up and put the trunk unlocked in his room. Later that evening, Dudley had excused himself from dinner early, which surprised Harry, but he was too busy missing Hogwarts to care. A few minutes later Dudley had come running down the stairs looking like half a frog and screaming his head off. Apparently, Dudley had gone up to Harry's room and opened his trunk. When searching for the candy, he had accidentally come in contact with some of the Potion's supplies that had split open when the trunk was kicked down the stairs. Beetle eyes, dragon's blood, flubberworm mucus, and dittany had mixed together and created some sort of transfiguring potion. It had tried to turn Dudley into a frog, but all that happened was that Dudley got huge yellow eyes and webbed hands and feet. Also, his skin was a sickly green color. The Accidental Magic Reverse Squad had to come and reverse it. Ever since then, Dudley was terrified of Harry and avoided him whenever possible.
When Harry looked up again, Aunt Petunia was looking elsewhere, and Uncle Vernon was on the last page of his newspaper. Harry sighed, and picked up his empty plate. He put it on the sink and went upstairs to his room.
The first thing that Harry noticed when he got to his room is that he had several owls. Two of them were Hogwarts owls, and the other one he didn't recognize, probably from Sirius. He opened a Hogwarts owl's letter first, and realizing it was just a regular book list and ticket for Hogwarts train, he set it down. Then he opened the other Hogwarts letter. It was from Professor Dumbledore. Did something happen to Sirius, he wondered, and opened it.
Dear Harry,
What I am about to say will shock you very much. It is very difficult for me to write because I had difficulty believing it 19 years ago. I was very shocked when I first found out, and this new turn of events brings back the same shock because I had nearly forgotten it. You have a sister.
19 years ago, 2 years before they were married, your father proposed to your mother before they even graduated. They decided that they...er...couldn't wait until their wedding night. Uh...anyways, they had a baby girl, but they decided to give her up for adoption. Actually, at the time Voldemort was just starting after them, and they didn't want to risk the life of their baby girl, so she was adopted by an American muggle family. They figured that Voldemort wouldn't find her there, and he didn't fortunately. When they had you, they figured that you would be safe because of the Fidelis Charm. But, unfortunately we know that that backfired. Well, your sister finished Wizarding School in America, and she certainly takes after Lily in the Charms department. She will be coming to Hogwarts to teach Defense Against The Dark Arts. When she found out about you, she was eager to meet you. So I am asking that you go to meet her in Diagon Alley on August 29th. Pleasant holidays.
Albus Dumbledore
Harry sat there stunned. He had a sister. No way! How come no one told him about her? Not even Sirius. Then he got angry. It wasn't fair. All of his life he had wished that he had had a brother or a sister. Someone other than Dudley. He had been ripped off! At least, though, he was going to meet her. And in a week!
Harry sat wondering about her. What did she look like? What was she like? He wanted tomorrow to be August 29. He sat daydreaming until the other owl pecked at his leg. He picked it up and read Sirius's letter.
Dear Harry,
Read Dumbledore's letter first.
I'm sure you want to know all about your sister. I know very little about her except her name is Crystal. She looks a lot like your mom with your dad's blue eyes. She is a little headstrong, but very nice. She would make a good teacher. I only knew her for a few hours, but she was a pretty baby. Remember something when you meet her, she has had a tough life. Her adopted family hated wizards, just like the Dursleys, but at least the Dursleys haven't hurt you. When her family found out that she was a wizard, they began to be a bit abusive. She ran away when she was 13. She also had a hard time paying for her education, but she got by on all scholarships because she is smart. She has had a lot of pain Harry. Be forgiving of her. Try to get close to her. She is your only real relative. I will see you when you get to school; I'm coming for a visit to Hogwarts.
Sirius
Harry was surprised. Abuse? Suddenly living with the Dursleys wasn't so bad after all.
He wrote letters to Ron and Hermione to tell them about his sister and to tell them that he was going to be in Diagon Alley on August 29. He spent the rest of the day doing homework. When he went to bed that night, he happily awaited the meeting with his sister in a week.
