Chapter 1

"Wake up now!" Lizzy's sister yelled to her from the bathroom.

Slowly Lizzy made her way out of bed. This was the fifth time her sister had yelled for her to get up. Not two minutes later Beth, Lizzy's sister barged into the room demanding why she was not up yet.

"Why aren't you awake? If you-"

"I'm Awake!!" Lizzy yelled, cutting off her sister.

"Good," Was all her sister said. Lizzy and her sister were very close, even though sometimes you couldn't tell. Lizzy and Beth were twin sisters. They had simmering green eyes with light brown around the pupil. Their hair was waist length and dark blonde. Both were quite skinny, but still had a lot of muscle. They were not athletic at all, but did run around a lot.

Lizzy's room was a mess, and as she was getting out of bed her foot landed on a very sharp object.

"OUCH!" she yelled moving her foot quickly. Where her foot had been their lay a small but pointy hair claw.

"Are you okay?" Beth called to her sister from the bathroom.

"Yeah I just stepped on my hair clip is all." Lizzy replied.

"Well if you would clean you room once in a while you wouldn't have that problem now would you? I mean look at it. It's a mess!" Beth scowled.

"Its not messy!" Lizzy retorted, "Its creative!"

Beth gave a snort of amusement. "What?" Lizzy asked.

"Nothing at all darling sister. Now get dressed!"

Lizzy looked over the floor to find something to wear. Clothes littered the ground. Finally she found what she was looking for. She picked up a pair of jean shorts and a black muscle shirt she had nicked from one of her guy friends. She was all set for the warm weather that had seemed to come over night.

Lizzy walked down the spiral staircase that was in the two-story house. Beth was on her way down as well. They both made their way to the kitchen for some breakfast. Lizzy grabbed some bread for toast while Beth opted not to have any breakfast.

While Lizzy put her toast into the toaster her sister started to ask her a question. Lizzy didn't hear what she was saying because she was staring out of the window. Daydreaming about nothing in particular.

"Lizzy? Lizzy are you listening?" Beth asked her. "LIZZY!" she finally had to scream.

"What? What is it? What's wrong?" Lizzy asked a bit panicked.

"Nothing. I was trying to talk to you but you were ignoring me."

"Oh, what did you want?" Lizzy asked.

"I asked you if you wanted to come to the park with me today."

"Sure when did you want to go?"

"Ummm...how does after you finish eating sound?" Beth asked.

"Sound fine to me, but should I ask mum?"

"No need to worry. I told her you might be coming with me." Beth reassured.

"Oh, ok. Well I'm done here. What say we leave now?"

"Alright, let me get my bag. Did you want yours?"

"Yeah I might need it. Did you want to go shopping too? I need to get a few things. If not its ok."

"Its fine. Lets go."

With that they both headed out the door, but only after saying their goodbyes to their parents. They were headed off to the park right next to their house. It was a few blocks away, but still very close. There was a rain the night before and the sidewalk was a little damp. The air smelled freshly washed and the sun was bright. They didn't notice a lot of what was happening around them, they just enjoyed the time outside.

They rounded the corner of the last house on the block and made the short walk to the park. The park was not too full, as it was still pretty early in the morning. The swings were their favorite place to sit and watch people. Even though people thought they were too old for things like that they both still enjoyed it. At the age of almost 11 they were still allowed, in their mind, they were allowed to act like adults when they needed to, and also act like they didn't have a care in the world, which, at the moment, they didn't.

"I'll race ya!" Lizzy told her sister.

"Very well, I accept!" Beth said in an over serious manor that made Lizzy laugh.

Both took off like a shot! They were gaining speed by the second, the swings coming closer to the both of them. Just as it seemed they would crash into the swings, they both jumped over the swings and did a summer salt landing on their backs. They both got up and laughed, not noticing a pair of eyes watching them. The person was doing a bit of people watching themselves.

The park was slowly filling up, and the twins decided to forgo their swings and sit on a park bench. They started to talk about quite trivial things as most teenagers do only noticing a few people here and there.

About an hour went by, and by that time the twins had stopped talking and were now watching the people. They weren't very interesting in most of the people who were there, they had seen them all before. Just as they were about to leave to go shopping, Lizzy saw a boy about 17 or 18. At least 190cm in height, pitch black hair, bright emerald eyes, and an odd shaped scar on his forehead. He was walking what looked to be the biggest dog Lizzy had ever seen. Right before Lizzy was going to point him out to her sister he looked right at her. He looked as he was staring into her soul. Lizzy found she couldn't look away. She was lost in those eyes. He was the first to look away. Lizzy felt her sister get up and she quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her down.

"Look! Do you see that guy over there? The one with the huge dog and black hair."

"Yeah, what about him?" Beth said while looking at the guy.

"There is something about him. I can feel it. I don't know what it is, but there is something about him." She said still staring at the boy.

Beth wasn't sure what to say. She also stared at him, like her sister. The boy was walking on the sidewalk and it looked as if he was talking to his dog, and the dog seemed to understand him. He was headed right toward them. He turned his head from where he was looking across the park at the pond and looked at the two girls. They felt nervous under his gaze but not threatened. The boy held the gaze while he walked over to them. He got right in front of them and kneeled down to face them.

"Are you Elizabeth and Bethany O'Brien?" the Boy asked in a soft and smooth voice. They nodded. "My name is Harry Potter." He paused for a moment to get something out of his pocket. When his had emerged he held out two envelopes and handed them to each of the girls. He smiled at their hesitancy.

They both stared at the letters dumbly. "Aren't you going to open them? Or are you going to stare at them all day?" Harry asked with a smile. Both of the girls looked sheepish and Lizzy opened her letter, and read hers out loud for her sister to hear.

Lizzy stopped there and looked up to Harry who was still knelt down in front of them. "Go on." Harry urged. Lizzy moved the first page of parchment behind the second and began to read out loud once more.

And Lizzy read off all the books that they would need, and all the additional items, most importantly a wand. The letter also said that she could bring with her, if she wishes, an owl, a cat, or a toad.

"A toad?" she questioned out loud.

Harry gave a lighthearted laugh. "Why don't we go to your house and talk to your parents about this eh?" Harry suggested. Beth and her sister both nodded and headed off their home.

They all three turned the corner to the road that their house was on. At a sharp gasp Lizzy tilted her head up from the ground she was looking at. She stopped dead in her tracks. Their house had been demolished. Lizzy took her sisters had as the tears started to pool in her soft green and hazel eyes.
