Arina Potter sat on the end of her bed, a letter in her hand. She had been learning magic all these years and she was finally going to get to go to Hogwarts. Maybe she would meet her brother there. She took out the tattered letter that her mom had written when she was a baby.
Dear Arina,
We are sorry to have left you, but it was the only way. You are a witch and will learn magic (if you havent already started) with your caretakers. You will go to school when you are needed there. You have a brother. His last name, like yours, is Potter.
You must find him. He wont know who you are. Or maybe he will, I can not tell. Have fun my darling. Enjoy life to its fullest. And remember, we will always love you. You have a vault at Gringotts, so use it wisely.
Love,
James and Lily Potter
Mom and dad
She had read that letter many times over. How she couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts! September first was only two weeks away.
Harry was lounging in the Burrow with his friend Ron Weasly. He had been here most of the summer. He had only gone to the Dursely's for a little bit, enough time to pack his things and get tortured for a day or so, but then he had left. And now, he was in the Burrow, trying and failing, to beat Ron in Wizards chess."your move mate." Ron said.
Harry moved his queen forward only to have one of Rons pawns smash her in half and drag her of to the side of the boerd. "no fair." He said to a grinning Ron.
Just then, a mass of brown attacked them, hugging them both.
"hello Ron, hello Harry? How has your summer been? I just got back from Paris! Oh, it was so much fun. I got you this for your birthday Harry, sorry its late." The girl shoved a book about Animagius into Harrys hands.
"Nice to see you to Hermione," Ron said. "maybe you could slow down a little."
Hermione blushed. "sorry. Harry, you might find that book to be useful."
Ron looked over at it. "All about Anamagi? Hermione, are you thinking of becoming one of them?"
"I don't know...it might be fun."
"Fun! It would be more than that!"
Harry looked at the book. It reminded him of Sirius.
"Harry, read this..." Hermione flipped to a page in the book.
Harry read it outloud. "Anamagi can mate with other animals of the same..."
"No not that this!" She tapped the page opposite the one Harry was reading.
"Anamagi can get in and out of places that humans would normally get stuck in. Not just nooks and crannys, but places that trap wizards and witches and wont let them out..."
"Hermione," Ron said slowly. "What are you thinking?"
"Sirius," Harry said.
"Exactly! I think we can find a way to get Sirius out."
Before they could continue talking, Mrs. Weasly came bustling in.
"Oh good, dear, you made it. We're going to go shop for some school supplies today, so I hope you brought money."
"I did."
"Good then are we all ready? Ginny! Are you coming?"
"Coming Mum!" Came a call from the top of the steps. "Hello Hermione!"
"Hello Ginny."
"Are you ready?"
"Yes."
"Ronnald?"
"Yes Mum."
"Harry, Hermione?"
"We're ready."
"Then lets get some floo powder and off we go. Harry first."
"Don't get lost Harry." Ron called at him as he stepped into the fireplace.
"I'll try not to." He replied, grinning before saying. "Diagon Ally!"
The rest of the group followed.
"Arina! We're getting your school things today. Are you ready?""Coming!"
Arina ran down the steps. "How are we getting there?"
"Floo powder. Its Diagon Ally. Say it?"
"Diagon Ally."
"Good, now you know what to do."
Arina stepped into the fireplace, dropped some floo powder and after screaming "Diagon Ally" was engulfed in flames and dropped off infront of Gringots. Her 'mom' came after her and then they looked at her list, and started shopping.
Harry was in the robe shop, getting fitted for a robe when a girl around his age walked by and looked in the window. She looked just like him, well sort of. Somewhere, in his heart, he felt like he knew her. He wondered if she was attending Hogwarts.
"We'll get your robes later dear," Mrs. Kaaian said as her daughter looked into the window of the robe shop.
Arina saw a boy getting fitted for a robe before she left. 'I wonder if he's my brother...'
Ron and Hermione glanced at the girl walking past the shop before going in."She looked a bit like you mate," Ron said.
"Yah," Harry said, lost in thought."Mums done buying everything and she said its time to go, if your ready."
"All done dear," the store lady said.
"Thank you," Harry said, taking his robes from the lady. "Now I'm ready."
With that they headed home, and Harry wasn't to think about the girl he saw in the window for another two weeks, until they got on the train.
wow, another long chapter. Again, review, and I'll put up another chapter!
