12th Chapter – Reunion with Friends and Seeing the Castle

Harry Potter was sitting in the Dursley's living room, eagerly awaiting the arrival of some Order members that would come to get him to Grimmauld Place. Even though he wasn't very fond of the idea of going back to the old Black Mansion where so much reminded him of Sirius, he was looking forward to leaving the Dursleys and seeing his friends again. He just hoped that they wouldn't try to console him, because in his opinion he was almost over Sirius' death and didn't want to think about it during the time with his friends. He was wondering how they would get to the Order's Headquarters, hopefully not by riding on broomsticks like the last time. As he heard the bell ringing, he jumped up to open the door. Nymphradora Tonks and Professor Snape stood in front of him. Tonks, whose hair was orange and shoulder-length this time, smiled broadly and greeted him warmly while Snape only nodded and growled quietly. The Dursleys stayed in the kittchen and out of the way while Tonks and Snape got Harry's things downstairs. When Harry's heavy trunk, his Firebolt and Hedwig's cage stood in the Hallway, Tonks said:

"Well, Harry. You might want to say goodbye to your relatives. And then we will use a portkey, Dumbledore made us one."

Harry nodded and poked his head in the kittchen saying: "Bye. See you next summer."

When he touched the worn-out sock, that was used as a portkey, he felt the familiar pulling at his navel and shortly afterwards appeared in front of the old house that was Grimmald Place 12.

Slowly, he went up the stairs that led to the old black door. After Snape had slightly tapped the door with his wand in order to open it, Harry took a final deep breath and entered. Once inside, he didn't have much time to look around the familiar hall because Molly Weasley hugged him tightly and ushered him inside the kittchen where Ron and his sister Ginny were already sitting. Ginny blushed a little and nodded greetingly while Ron smiled warmly and said:

"Hi mate! Good to see you again. Hermione will arrive soon, too. Ginny and I could convince mum to let us all stay here again, for the Burrow isn't safe for you anymore and you shouldn't stay here all alone. I hope, your summer wasn't too bad?"

Harry was just starting to answer when the door burst open again and Hermione appeared in the kittchen. After she had greeted everyone, she sat down between Ron and Ginny and said excitedly: "Sure, you all read about that wandless magician in Diagon Alley? I investigated a bit, of course only with the help of my own books, and found out that Merlin was the last known wizard who could do real wandless magic. Imagine, a witch of our age doing magic not even Professor Dumbledore is able to do!"

"Would somebody inform me please of what happened?" Harry interrupted her.

Hermione looked at him feeling guilty and explained: "Yeah, right. You don't get the Daily Prophet. I will give you a summary. As I said, some days ago a young witch did wandless magic in Diagon Alley. She was stealing books from Flourish and Blotts and fled using wandless magic. One day later, she returned to the alley, but Professor Dumbledore got her and talked to her. What they talked about or who she is wasn't written in the Daily Prophet"

"The Order knows it, of course." Ron added. "But nobody tells us anything."

"Do you know what she looks like?" Harry asked. Ginny got up to get the Daily Prophet from some days ago and showed him a picture that showed Starlett and Albus Dumbledore in Diagon Alley. Thoroughly looking at the photograph, Harry mumbled: "Starlett. The scar is missing, but this is definitely her."

"What did you say?" Ron asked curiously.

"I know this girl, I've met her twice. Her name's Starlett. I've been wondering about her." He stopped and looked up at his friends who were leaning foreward on the table and looking at him expectantly. So, he continued: "The first time I met her in the little park near the Dursley's house. She knocked Duldey out magically and then disapparated. At least, that's what I think, she did, because when I met her the second time and asked about her Apparating Licence she didn't know what I was talking about."

"Well, maybe she's never done one. I mean, nobody can have taught her how to do wandless magic so maybe she taught herself how to apparate. And besides, she hid herself very well from the ministry so I don't think she cared about an Apparating Licence." Hermione offered as an explanation.

Ginny, who had been silently watching the photograoh, suddenly said: "What do you think, doesn't she look a bit like Harry's mum?"

All of them gathered around the picture again and Harry found some similarities. A thought came to his mind but he quickly pushed it aside. It couldn't be, it was impossible. His sister was dead. He didn't even want to get his hopes up.

"Must be a conicidence." He quickly said and settled back in his chair. He had been going to tell his friends of his lost twin sister but he didn't want them to think the same as he did and therefore he said nothing about it. He would tell them later, when they'd know for sure that it wasn't her. After dinner, they all went upstairs to their rooms and kept talking about OWLs, school and their holidays till midnight.

Albus Dumbledore was showing Starlett and Zaza, who looked around in astonishment, the Great Hall and explaining about the House Tables, as they met Minerva McGonnagal.

"Ah, Minerva." He greeted her. "May I introduce you to Starlett, originally Elisha Potter, and Zaza. Starlett, Zaza, this is Professor McGonnagal, Professor for Transfiguration and Head of Gryffindor House."

McGonnagal looked a bit surprised and asked: "So, it really is her?" Dumbledore nodded confirmingly and explained to Starlett: "Professor McGonnagal was the first one to suspect that you might be the missing Potter."

"I've seen you on my first time in Diagon Alley." Starlett addressed the Professor who nodded and replied: "Yes. That's right."

Starlett was a bit shy in front of this stern witch, but she still asked: "You were reading books about Transfiguration and you teach it. I've been wondering, what is that, Transfiguration?"

"Transfiguration is the Art of Changing the Outer Form of Things, for example turning shoes into hats or tables into pigs. You look a lot like your mother, but you have your fathers eyes, Miss Potter." Then she directed a question at Dumbledore: "Do you have any idea why she wasn't listed?"

"She hasn't had a regular home. Maybe that's the reason, but I'm not sure, yet. I will investigate exactly how the spells on the school lists work and hopefully I will find an explanation by doing so."

Professor McGonnagal accompanied them on the rest of the tour. She wanted to get to know this girl. Many things, she did, reminded her of young Lily Evans, less of James Potter. But some things were also completely different. For example, she was always watching her surroundings very carefully and though she was curious and wanted to know things like Lily did, she never forgot that she was in a completely strange surrounding with people, she didn't know and whom she probably didn't trust, when learning new things. She hoped that Miss Potter would decide for Hogwarts. She was a powerful witch and she would have the chance to develop her abilities and her personality at Hogwarts. The street wasn't a favourable place for a young girl to grow up. Besides, this girl could become really dangerous if she fought for Lord Voldemort. As long as she was in Hogwarts, Voldemort couldn't reach her.

At the end of the tour, Albus Dumbledore said seriously: "I've tried to explain the wizarding world's current state to you. Lord Voldemort will try to eliminate you for your powers are a real danger to him. At Hogwarts, you are safe. Please, I ask you to come to Hogwarts, to train your magic and learn about it and to stay safe."

"I will think about it, but I think I will. I want to learn" Starlett answered honestly. "And I would like to meet Harry."

"I will arrange for him to be there tomorrow. We will meet in the Leaky Cauldron again." He smiled. Harry would be overly excited to meet his thought dead twin sister.

Like the last time, Starlett and Zaza flooed to the Leaky Cauldron from where they entered Muggle London.
