A/N: Come on people! Review! I'll put this up because I know some people want to know what happens next. Please! I really want to know what you have to think.
Five days later, Audrey stepped into Grimmauld Place. She was feeling better than she had in weeks. After Harry had told Hermione and Ron that she could be trusted, she was allowed in on all their secret meetings in the corner of the common room. Over the course of the next five days, Audrey learned piece-by-piece, Harry's story. It amazed her to think that one person could handle all that hardship. She had also attended her first D.A. meeting. Everyone was surprised when she picked up a difficult spell with ease.
Now, the four teenagers were up in Harry and Ron's room looking up new hexes and charms for the D.A. Audrey pointed out a few she had learned that were useful in Bogar's unsupervised duels. Before they knew it, it was time for lunch.
When Audrey entered the kitchen, she got an unpleasant surprise. She stared straight into the face of Professor Snape. Sadly, they were the last four in the room and she had to sit across from him.
Halfway through the meal, Snape said, "Hadley, heard from your mother lately?" Audrey glanced up and shook her head no. She almost expected him to ask her something else, but he didn't.
Hermione and Audrey were the ones "volunteered" to help clean up supper. Mrs. Weasley and Hermione left the room for a couple minutes so Audrey was all alone.
Suddenly, someone said from behind her, "Audrey." Whipping around she stared into the eyes of Snape. She realized she couldn't look away. Her mind was racing through past memories. Her birthday in July, her first year of school, and then memories she didn't remember! Arriving in America and the weirdest one of all...She was staring into the eyes of a beautiful woman who looked down at her with motherly affection, but it wasn't her mother. Another face she saw was of another baby being held by the same woman. The presence in her mind left as her eyes refocused.
Snape's eyes still glared down into hers. Before she could ask him what he did, he stalked off. 'What just happened?' she thought. 'Who were those people?' Shaking her head, Audrey decided that Snape was just being a nuisance like always.
Later that evening, when everyone was in bed, the Order was meeting in the kitchen. Barely anyone was talking and Dumbledore had not yet arrived. Snape look practically murderous and McGonagall was twiddling her thumbs in nervousness. Suddenly, Dumbledore walked in the room.
Snape jumped up to say something, but Dumbledore silenced him with his hand. "Wait, Severus. You will have your answer shortly." Turning to the whole group, "I have an announcement to make...Harry Potter has a twin—"
Everyone immediately turned to each other in astonishment. Dumbledore continued, "Before you all start asking questions, let me explain from the beginning...Audrey Hadley, who is staying in this house, is Harry's twin...Before either of them were born, Lily and James knew that Voldemort was after them. They were so afraid that the whole family would be killed. The perfect solution presented itself when Lily had twins, a baby boy and girl. They decided that the baby girl would be given away...
"This is where Margaret Benton comes in. Because of an accident during school..." Everyone involuntarily glanced at Snape. "She could never have children. Because the Potters and Margaret were such close friends, they decided the baby should go to her. As I pointed out to them, that decision could pose a problem. Voldemort would notice immediately that Margaret had a child and it wasn't hers. Because Voldemort did not like the Bentons, he would make it his business to find out.
"It was decided that Margaret would take the baby to the United States before anyone noticed she had a child. It worked. In the chaos that reigned, no one noticed that Margaret had disappeared...It was actually expected after she turned in a close friend of Voldemort's that she go into hiding...Everyone forgot about her entirely...even I as the years went by. Then, four months ago, I received an urgent owl from Margaret.
"Voldemort was in America gathering supporters. That's when I remembered Audrey, the unknown factor. She changed the entire situation. You see Audrey had a cloaking spell placed over her. Unless if someone were to look carefully, no one would know that she looks almost exactly like Lily Potter. When Voldemort rose again with Harry's blood, Audrey's cloaking protection worked no longer because they now share common blood. It is direly important that Voldemort never come face to face with Audrey. Even better if he never becomes aware of her at all
"If he ever sees her, he will know immediately that she looks like Lily Potter. Voldemort will kill her first and ask questions later. Her life will be in danger..." Dumbledore paused to let this all sink in. "That is why I must ask you, Severus, to continue Occumulency lessons with Harry and begin them with Audrey...It would be a disaster if Voldemort were to look into Harry's mind and see Audrey." Dumbledore gave a huge sigh and sank into a chair looking drained.
As other members stood up and gave reports, Snape looked more murderous than ever. All the Hogwarts teachers looked like they had just been handed their death warrant. Now, they not only had to watch Harry, but Audrey, too!
Three days later, Audrey wandered down to the kitchen earlier than usual. She had had trouble sleeping that night. There had been more weird dreams about a man hunting down her mother. That morning, she had another episode of an extreme headache. But this time it was different. It seemed that the man was trying to probe inside her mind. Panicking, she had awoken. Three other times Audrey had to force out the probing mind. By six o'clock in the morning, Audrey was exhausted. There were dark circles under her eyes and she moved with a slight shuffle.
Absentmindedly, she wandered into the kitchen and sat down. She didn't notice that Snape was sitting across from her. Audrey laid her head down and fell instantly asleep. Almost immediately, Audrey felt the probing in her mind. She formed a mental barrier and attempted to push it out.
The man's voice said, "Now wait a minute. Don't push me out yet." The probing became more insistent on Audrey's fatigued mind. "Relax and open your mind. I won't hurt you. I just want to know who you are."
Not realizing she was speaking aloud, Audrey thought, "No...No..." It was getting harder and harder to resist. "I don't want you reading my mind...It hurt...No...Go away...Must...wake up..."
"But you don't want to," the voice persuaded, stripping away her first barrier. "Just relax. I'll be gone before you know it."
As Audrey struggled to wake up, she realized that she was being shaken. With one last gigantic effort, she shoved the mind out and opened her eyes and look at Snape.
Shaking her, he snapped, "Whom were you talking to?" Audrey shook her head and started to close her eyes. Fiercely, "Don't fall asleep! Who were you talking to? Who?!"
Audrey, who was very tired and confused, muttered, "Won't leave me alone...Wants to know who I am...Don't like...He tortures people...After...after" Her eyes started to drift closed again.
Snape swore and shouted at her, "Stay awake!" He muttered, "Legilimins." He needed to know what was going on. Feebly, Audrey tried to fight him, but Snape, too, got through the first barrier.
Audrey felt this next intrusion. Because of her fatigue, her mind went into panic mode. She gave an almighty shove and before her focusing eyes, she saw Snape fly backwards into the wall. A loud smack filled the air. Now wide-awake, Audrey stared at the unconscious Snape slumped on the floor and fled from the room.
Snape was gone when Audrey returned to the kitchen for breakfast. That day, she had a restful nap, and by the evening she was back to her perky self.
That evening at dinner, Audrey spotted Dumbledore when she walked into the kitchen. "Hello, Audrey. May I have a word?" Dumbledore motioned for her to take a seat beside him. "Did you know that Voldemort and you mother were enemies?" Audrey shook her head no. "Because of that, Voldemort may try to get in touch with you to see if you know where she is. At the beginning of next term, you will start Occumulency lessons to seal your mind off from Voldemort. Every Tuesday evening, you'll report to Professor Snape's office at six o'clock."
Audrey's face fell and with resignation evident in her voice, she murmured, "Yes, sir" Dumbledore nodded and walked out of the room.
