Emilia listened intently waiting for Bill to continue.
"The family you live with is not your real family. You were placed with them to keep you safe. Your real parents names are Lily and James you have a twin brother named Harry." Emilia was again dumb founded at what Bill had told her.
"Why was I taken away from my parents?" Emilia asked, confused.
"There was an evil wizard who killed your parents and tried to kill your brother." he replied. "Where was I?" she asked again.
"You were in the hospital with a cold and He Who Must Not Be Named didn't know you existed." Bill answered. The soup arrived and the remainder of the evening was spent in silence.
The next morning, Emilia woke up and got dressed in the clothes she had on the day before. When she arrived down the stairs Bill was waiting for her.
"Ready to go." he said, enthusiastically.
"Where are we going?" Emilia asked.
"Diagon Alley." Bill said, as he led her out the door. They arrived at a brick wall and Bill pulled out a stick from his pocket. He tapped the bricks and they began to form an arch. Emilia looked wide-eyed from the wall to the stick in Bill's hand. She then realized that what she thought was a stick was actually a wand. She followed Bill took her by the hand and led her to the bank. It was large, white, and had gold letters that spelt out "Gringotts Bank." Emilia waited outside the bank while Bill went into the bank to get her money. As she waited outside a tall man and a boy exited the bank and walked down the alley. As they passed, Emilia caught a glimpse of a lightning shaped scar on the boys forehead. Bill came out a few minutes later and led her to a book shop. He bought a big stack of books, which were her textbooks. Next she went to a clothing shop that was very different to the ones she had been in. On the walls hung robes and mirrors, and in the middle stood a short lady. She sized her and made the robes with a flick of her wand. They exited and headed across the alley to a small dusty looking shop. Emilia entered and Bill continued down the street, he said he had business to do.
"Hello?" she said, looking for some form of life. From around the corner an old man stepped out with an arm full of boxes.
"Hello." he said, replying.
"Are you here for a wand?" he asked her. Emilia nodded her head and the man pulled out a number of boxes. He handed her the wand from the first box and told her to flick it. She flicked it at the lamp beside her and it smashed.
"Nope, not that one." the man said. She tried a couple more, but they also didn't work.
"Try this maple and mahogany, phoenix feather, 10 inches." he said. Emilia took it and she felt a breeze blow around her and a warmth radiate through her whole body.
"Interesting…" he said.
"What is?" Emilia asked.
"You have the same wand as your great grandmother. She was the greatest witch of her time." he replied. Emilia was amazed. There was knock on the window behind her and she turned around. There in the window stood Bill holding a cage. In the cage was a small snowy owl. Emilia thanked the man, stuffed her wand in her pocket, and ran out the door.
"You got me an owl!" She exclaimed. Bill smiled and said,
"What are you going to name her?" Emilia thought for a second and then said,
"I think I will name her Elli." Bill agreed that it was a good name and so they went back to the Leaky Cauldron.
The next morning Bill woke her up early.
"Time for school." he yelled through the door. Emilia pulled her trunk out of the back of the cab put it on a trolley and pushed it through Kings Cross Station. When they got to the bridge Bill stopped and passed Emilia her ticket.
"Go to platform 9 ¾." he said, then disappeared. Emilia headed toward platform 9-10 and as she headed down the causeway she overheard a conversation. She walked over to the girl and her parents.
"Do you know where platform 9 ¾ is?" she asked them.
"In fact we do." said the girl. As they continued toward the platform the girl introduced herself as Hermione. Emilia and Hermione ran through the passageway to 9 ¾ and made it just as the train was about to leave. Hermione and Emilia jumped on and with a blow of the whistle they were off to Hogwarts. They walked down the length of the train to find a compartment to sit in. they reached the last compartment and saw two boys about the same age sitting there. Hermione opened the door of the compartment and stepped in.
"May we sit here?" she asked them. One of the boys nodded, since he had a mouth full of candies. Emilia stepped in and sat down. She looked across at the boy in front of her. She felt like she was looking in a mirror. She looked to the boy's forehead and saw a small lightning shaped scar. Slowly things began to click in her mind.
"I'm Emilia." she said, holding out her hand to shake his.
"I'm Harry, Harry Potter." the boy replied. Emilia's eyes glazed over for a second, she couldn't believe it was happening.
"Harry?" Emilia said.
"Yes" Harry said.
"I don't know how to say this but I'm your twin sister." she said. The compartment was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
"What?" the boy next to Harry said. Harry thought for a second and then looked Emilia straight in the face. Emilia began to cry. Harry leaned over and the two hugged. For 13 years there had been a piece missing from herand in one day it had been filled beyond capacity. When they had finished hugging,one of the school prefects came past the compartment.
"You should get your robes on, we will be arriving at the school shortly. O, and Ron you have chocolate on your nose." The prefect left them and continued into the next part of the train. From what he had said, she guessed that the orange haired boy was Ron.
"How did he know your name?" Emilia asked Ron.
"He is my brother." Ron replied. The four of them got their robes out and their trunks and waited for the train to stop. Emilia followed the flow of students out of the train and was greeted by a cold wind as she stepped onto the stone.
"First years this way!" A voice boomed over the talking voices. Emilia followed the voice and found herself standing in front of the man she had seen in Diagon Alley. Here though, he looked much bigger.
"Hello Harry." he said, as Harry came and stood beside her. Hagrid, as she would learn, led them down the hillside to a large lake.
"Groups of 4 please!" he said. Emilia, Harry, Ron and Hermione grouped up and stood by Hagrid. He led the groups to large boats and they stepped in. Once they were all in, the boats began to move across the lake by themselves. As they reached the other side, a fog that had hung, lifted and before them stood Hogwarts. It was a huge castle, bigger then one she had seen before. She looked at Harry and he smiled at her. When they docked, the first years jumped out and followed Hagrid up the stairs and into Hogwarts.
