Harry decided dinnertime would be the best time to ask the Dursley's
about using their fireplace on the fifth.
"Uncle Vernon, I have a question to ask you." Harry said timidly.
"What is it boy?" Asked Vernon harshly.
"Um...well... you see" stammered Harry.
"Spit it out boy I haven't got all day."
"Yes well, I need to use the fireplace on the fifth of August."
"Why in heavens name do you need that for?!"
"Because I have to use floo powder to get to the Burrow."
"The what?! What in the bloody hell is The Burrow?"
"It's where the Weasley's live."
"Who... oh those bloody red heads. No I don't think so."
"But I have to. I'll be out of here a full month earlier."
"That is good, but why should you have any fun?"
"Because I just... well that's none of you business, and if you don't let me go they'll just have to come and get me and I don't think Dudley wants another overgrown tongue!" Harry said with a laugh at Dudley.
At this Dudley covered his mouth and did a sort of run down the hall. This was a big deal since it's very hard to run at his size. Uncle Vernon studied Harry for a few minutes.
"Ok fine you can use it, but if I see absolutely anyone come to our house through that bloody thing you'll be staying under the stairs till your 70!" Said Vernon.
Harry jumped out of his seat and ran up stairs jumping for joy. He couldn't believe it, he was leaving the Dursley's one month early and he is no longer alone. He has a sister, a twin sister. He just couldn't believe his luck. Just to pass time he started to gather all his papers and books and put them in his trunk. When he picked up the envelope that had held Madame Maxime's letter another letter fell out. He hadn't noticed this before. He picked it up off the floor. On the front it said to Harry from Alexis. HE opened it up and began to read it.
Dear Harry,
I know this has to be a complete shock to you. I know it was to me. I mean I've been living with the Declares since I was a baby. Now all of a sudden they are dead and on their deathbed they reveal to me that I was kidnapped and I have a bother, a twin brother. Who is this twin brother? The one and only Harry Potter, who put he-who-must-not-be-named out of commission, I couldn't believe it. The last thing they said told me was to look in the lock box for a journal. After they had died I went home and look for this journal, in it had everything about me and the entire story of how I came to be with them. I'll let you read the entire journal once I meet you. Pretty much it says the magical black market stole me and then sold me to the Declares. It gets pretty complicated that's why I'm not putting the whole contents in this letter.
I've heard that the Weasley's are great people. I can't believe how many kids they have! But I always wanted brothers or sisters so I guess they've had a good life. Fleur has told me some about you. She says you are a very kind and good-hearted boy and you'd do anything in your power to help other. She also said that you're pretty cute, although that was totally from her and not for me, seeing as I am your sister and all. Well I can't wait to meet you. I don't know if Madame told you or not but I'll be arriving on the sixth of August a day after you so you will have time to get settled. Well I'll see you then. Also, Fleur says Hi.
Your Twin,
Alexis Marie Declare
Harry was speechless. He couldn't believe this. A letter from his sister and she had been sold on the magic black market. At least she had been saved from Voldemort. He couldn't wait till the fifth. He had real relatives that didn't hate him. He had a sister.
