{Two years later}

It's been two years since Nat started Hogwarts. Two years since she was sorted into Slytherin. Two years since she stopped talking to the twins.
But what's exciting is that Harry Potter who happens to be her brother is joining Hogwarts along with Ron and she was very excited to see him again after ten years but she is also terrified. What if Harry hates her for not being with him? She didn't know what to do or say but she really wanted to be with Harry which was brilliant as she get to go with Hagrid to pick her brother. Little did Nat know that Harry was dying to meet is big sister.

She was all ready to meet her brother as Dumbledore stood in front of her to take her to where Hagrid was waiting for her. After giving Remus a hug she left to Hagrid's.

Natalie was with Hagrid on a boat during a storm in the middle of the Ocean and she wondering why in world would her uncle and aunt go to a dirty broken-down house that's going to collapse any moment for a vacation? Like of all the places to go for a vacation they come here? Maybe her grandmother must have dropped her aunt on her head when she was born. 'Okay. That was rude. They are family Nat' she told herself.
Soon they reached the house (Nat wasn't sure what to call it) and Hagrid gave a knock. (Hagrid's knock go BOOM! Incase you're wondering).
No answer.
BOOM!
Still no answer.
She heard a few muffled voices and then a man's voice said "Who's there? I warn you – I'm armed!' but Hagrid didn't give a Fu- A damn. He didn't give a damn. (Remus has been trying his best to make her stop swearing, but it's Remus we are talking about. That man uses almost one in each sentence and he wonders where Nat learns them from. He tried to reduce them when Nat was with him. But she did pick a few good ones from him.).
So Hagrid just knocked the door down with a SMASH! With that Hagrid walked in as if he didn't knock the door down. Nat followed him quietly , she doubted if anyone would notice a 13 year old girl behind a eleven foot tall man.
'Couldn't make us a cup o' tea, could yeh? It's not been an easy journey ...' Hagrid said striding over to the sofa where an extremely plump blonde boy with blue eyes. According to Nat he looked like he's been eating like it's his last day on earth. Mahn! He was almost three times the size of Ron and five than Ginny. What has is aunt and uncle been feeding him? "Budge up, yeh great lump".
The boy gave a small squeak and ran towards two adults who were his parents . Which means that boy was her cousin and the adults were her Aunt and Uncle. But all she cared was to look for a 11 year old boy who was her brother. 'An' here's Harry!' Hagrid said gaining her attention. That's when she saw him. A skinny boy with messy black hair, and beautiful emerald green eyes like her's behind his glasses and lightening Bolt Scar on his forehead. She couldn't believe it! That was Harry! The boy who lived! Her brother! She didn't what Hagrid said because she was looking at her brother taking him all in. He was so skinny . 'Was he starved to death or what?' she thought.
"Anyway – Harry, I want you to meet a very special person. Natalie?" he said looking at her.
Natalie's green eyes met her brother's . Words were at loss for her. "Hi Harry... umm...Ehm…" she stuttered. She never stuttered!. "It's okay Nat. Harry I would like you to meet Natalie Potter Your sister" Hagrid told him gently. She gave him a nervous smile and looked at him for his reaction. Harry was shocked. Frozen.
"You... Your the voice... My sister!" Harry whispered.
Nat don't know why but tears came to her eyes and before she couldn't even think her legs carried herself to the boy and soon she hugged her brother. She hugged Harry so tight afraid to let him go thinking that he'll be snatched away from her again. Harry hugged her back with equal force whispering "You actually exist... I thought I was dreaming...I heard your voice in my dreams." .
"Wha'! Yer did?" Hagrid asked him.
Harry nodded at him and Hagrid exchanged glances with Nat who was shocked.
"What did you hear me say Harry?" Nat asked him.
"Well I remember the first time I heard your voice it was at Christmas . I wrote it down and kept it with me just in case" and with that he extracted a piece of paper from his pocket unfolded a piece of paper and read out ""Harry! Wherever you are know that I love you. Your big sister is there for you sweetheart. You are loved! Mum and Dad loved you too. Merry Christmas!" . Nat stood frozen as those words sunk in. "I did say those words!" she told Hagrid.
"We'll see that later shall we. Now Harry a very happy birthday to yeh. Got summat fer yeh here – I mighta sat on it at some point, but it'll taste all right.' From an inside pocket of his black overcoat he pulled a slightly squashed box. Harry opened it with trembling fingers. Inside was a large, sticky chocolate cake with Happy Birthday Harry written on it in green icing.
Harry looked up at the giant. He meant to say thank you, but the words got lost on the way to his mouth, and what he said instead was, 'Who are you?'
Hagrid chuckled. 'True, I haven't introduced meself. Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts.' He held out an enormous hand and shook Harry's whole arm. 'What about that tea then, eh?' he said, rubbing his hands together. 'I'd not say no ter summat stronger if yeh've got it, mind.' . Nat giggled at that comment.
With that Hagrid bent down over the fireplace; they couldn't see what he was doing but when he drew back a second later, there was a roaring fire there. It filled the whole damp hut with flickering light and Nat felt the warmth wash over her. She sighed contentedly "That's better!" . Harry smiled at her. He was so Happy that he had a family apart from the Dursley's. He couldn't believe it! For ten years he thought he was all alone and then as if someone heard his sorrow's had gifted him a sister and he was beyond excited to have her.
Hagrid then sat on the sofa and started making some sausages for them. In the meantime Nat walked over to the three Dursley's for the formality of introducing herself.
"Hello Uncle ! Aunt Petunia and Couz! As Hagrid said I am Natalie Lily Potter which means I am your niece. Nice to meet you!". The three of them just stood frozen. Her uncle and her couz looked very cautious wjile her aunt had a very unexplainable look. She didn't know her aunt was thinking of her deceased sister who's daughter looked like the younger version of her. Nat met her aunt's eyes and soon felt a tingling sensation on her head and a prickle down her neck. 'Are you kidding me? Now?' And soon everything dissolved.

Nat found herself in a nearly deserted playground. A single huge chimney dominated the distant skyline. Two girls were swinging backward and forward.

"Lily, don't do it!" shrieked the elder of the two.

But the girl had let go of the swing at the very height of its arc and flown into the air, quite literally flown, launched herself skyward with a great shout of laughter, and instead of crumpling on the playground asphalt, she soared like a trapeze artist through the air, staying up far too long, landing far too lightly. Nat couldn't believe her eyes. She was seeing her aunt's memories of her mother. She walked near her mother to get a better look. She looked exactly like how Nat had looked when she was nine. Her red hair covered her beaming face and her green eyes were shining. Nat wanted to look at the younger version of her mother and get lost in those loving eyes.

"Mummy told you not to!"
The elder girl shrieked stopped her swing by dragging the heels of her sandals on the ground, making a crunching, grinding sound, then leapt up, hands on hips.
"Mummy said you weren't allowed, Lily!"
"But I'm fine," said Lily, still giggling. "Tuney, look at this. Watch what I can do."

Tuney glanced around. Nat guessed that girl must be Aunt Petunia. The playground was deserted apart from themselves. Lily had picked up a fallen flower from a bush nerby. Petunia advanced, evidently torn between curiosity and disapproval. Lily waited until Petunia was near enough to have a clear view, then held out her palm. The flower sat there, opening and closing its petals, like some bizarre, many-lipped oyster.

"Stop it!" shrieked Petunia.
"It's not hurting you," said Lily, but she closed her hand on the blossom and threw it back to the ground.
"It's not right," said Petunia, but her eyes had followed the flower's flight to the ground and lingered upon it. "How do you do it?" she added, and there was definite longing in her voice.
And the scene dissolved as she snapped out of her still state. Hagrid was infront of her trying to snap her out of her trance. "Right! Sorry had a vision that's all. What were you saying Hagrid? "
"Harry." He replied as if that answers everything and it did. She forgot about Harry for a few minutes and then realised something. 'It was his birthday!'
Facepalming herself she walked upto her brother with a huge smile on her face and said "Happy Birthday Harry! Hope you like it?" handing him a small wrapped present.
"You didn't have to! Seeing you is the greatest birthday gift." Harry told her. Her heart melted at his brother's comment. She hugged him and said "That's so sweet Harry. I love you. "
"But it's not everyday you turn eleven and the day you turn eleven is important." she told him ushering him to open her gift. She was nervous of his reaction but at the same time excited.
Slowly he unwrapped his present and inside was a photo. A beautifully framed photo and inside was a picture of a man and woman holding two children. The man had jet black hair and lovely brown eyes and he was holding a three year old toddler girl who had red hair and bright green eyes. The woman too had red hair and bright green orbs and a loving smile. She was holding a baby boy was about a year old with little black strands of hair and green eyes. Harry realised it was a family photo. His family's photo with his parents .
Harry was at loss for words and he gazed at the picture. He could look at it all day. This was the first time he's seen his parent's photo and he was extremely thankful to his sister for getting him this.
He hugged her tightly with tears streaming down his face thanking her profusely to which Nat laughed with tears down her face as well.
"Happy Birthday. Merlin! You're so skinny did they starve you or what?" she exclaimed.
By that time Hagrid was done and before Harry could reply he heard his uncle say sharply,''Don't touch anything he gives you, Dudley.'' The giant chuckled darkly. "Yer great puddin' of a son don' need fattenin' any more, Dursley, don' worry." He passed the sausages to Nat and Harry, who were so hungry.
"Anyways Harry like I told yeh, I'm Keeper of Keys at Hogwarts – yeh'll know all about Hogwarts, o' course.'
"Er – no," said Harry.
Hagrid and Nat looked shocked.
"Sorry," Harry said quickly. '
"WHAT?"
"'Sorry?" Hagrid and Nat yelled at the same time. Furious Nat looked at her uncle and aunt but it was Hagrid who said "'It's them as should be sorry! I knew yeh weren't gettin' yer letters but I never thought yeh wouldn't even know abou' Hogwarts, fer cryin' out loud! "
"Didn't you wonder where Mom and Dad learnt it all?" Nat asked him.
'All what?' asked Harry.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Nat asked her brother.
'ALL WHAT?' Hagrid thundered. "Now wait jus' one second!" He had leapt to his feet. In his anger he seemed to fill the whole hut. The Dursleys were cowering against the wall. "Do you mean ter tell me," he growled at the Dursleys, "that this boy – this boy! – knows nothin' abou' – about ANYTHING?"
"'I know some things,' Harry said. 'I can, you know, do maths and stuff."
Nat gave him a 'Are you kidding me look?" , she had both her eyebrows raised in question and told him.
"No Harry. What Hagrid is that you didn't know anything about our world, I mean. Your world. My world. Our parents world."
"What world?"
Hagrid looked as if he was about to explode and Nat was loosing her temper too.
'DURSLEY!' he boomed. Uncle Vernon, who had gone very pale, whispered something that sounded like 'Mimblewimble'.
"Come on Harry! You must about mom and dad. You really don't know what we are talking about do you?" She asked looking at his genuinely blank and questionable look.
Harry gave a nod that made a 'no'.
" I mean they're famous. You're famous."
"What? My – I mean our mum and dad weren't famous, were they?" He asked Nat.
"Oh no! So you don't know anything!" Nat said panicking.
Even Hagrid was muttering "'Yeh don' know ... yeh don' know ...'"
"So you mean you don't even know what you are?" Nat asked him with her eyes pleading for him to say yes.
Uncle Vernon suddenly found his voice. 'Stop!' he commanded.
"Stop right there, sir! I forbid you to tell the boy anything!".
A braver man than Vernon Dursley would have quailed under the furious look Hagrid now gave him; when Hagrid spoke, his every syllable trembled with rage.
"You never told him? Never told him what was in the letter Dumbledore left fer him? I was there! Nat was there too! I saw Dumbledore leave it, Dursley! An' you've kept it from him all these years?"
"Kept what from me?" said Harry eagerly.
"STOP! I FORBID YOU!" yelled Uncle Vernon in panic.
Aunt Petunia gave a gasp of horror.
"OH SHUT UP!" Nat yelled at the man with equal amplitude.
"'Ah, go boil yer heads, both of yeh," said Hagrid ignoring Nat's yell. 'Harry – yer a wizard.'"
There was silence inside the hut. Only the sea and the whistling wind could be heard.
"I'm a what?" gasped Harry.
"A wizard Harry. Just like me though the female word is witch. I am a witch and so was mom. And your a wizard like dad!" Nat told him with a huge grin on her face her green eyes looking at his.
"I'd say, once yeh've been trained up a bit yed be a thumpin' good wizrd. With a mum an' dad like yours, what else would yeh be? An' I reckon it's abou' time yeh read yer letter."
Harry stretched out his hand at last to take the yellowish envelope, addressed in emerald green to
Mr H. Potter,
The Floor,
Hut-on-the-Rock,
The Sea.
He pulled out the letter and read:

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

Dear Mr Potter, We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress

"What does it mean, they await my owl?" asked Harry
"Gallopin' Gorgons, that reminds me," said Hagrid, clapping a hand to his forehead with enough force to knock over a cart horse, and from yet another pocket inside his overcoat he pulled an owl – a real, live, rather ruffled-looking owl – a long quill and a roll of parchment. With his tongue between his teeth he scribbled a note to Dumbledore. Hagrid rolled up the note, gave it to the owl, which clamped it in its beak, went to the door and threw the owl out into the storm.

"Where was I?" said Hagrid, but at that moment, Uncle Vernon, still ashen-faced but looking very angry, moved into the firelight.
"He's not going," he said. Hagrid grunted.
"I'd like ter see a great Muggle like you stop him," he said.
"A what?" said Harry, interested.
"A Muggle," said Nat. "It's what we call non-magic folk like them".
"An' it's your bad luck you grew up in a family o' the biggest Muggles I ever laid eyes on." Hagrid finished.
"We swore when we took him in we'd put a stop to that rubbish," said Uncle Vernon, "swore we'd stamp it out of him! Wizard, indeed!"
"You knew?" said Harry. "You knew I'm a – a wizard?"
"Knew!" shrieked Aunt Petunia suddenly. "Knew! Of course we knew! How could you not be, my dratted sister being what she was? Oh, she got a letter just like that and disappeared off to that – that school – and came home every holiday with her pockets full of frog-spawn, turning teacups into rats. I was the only one who saw her for what she was – a freak! But for my mother and father, oh no, it was Lily this and Lily that, they were proud of having a witch in the family!" She stopped to draw a deep breath and then went ranting on. It seemed she had been wanting to say all this for years.
"Then she met that Potter at school and they left and got married and had you and your sister, and of course I knew you'd both be just the same, just as strange, just as – as – abnormal – and then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up and we got landed with you!"
Hearing that made Nat's blood boil to a hundred an thousand degrees. She was furious at Aunt Petunia to talk like that about her parents.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT! SHE WAS YOUR SISTER YOU...!" Nat yelled at her anger taking out her anger at each and every word. She stopped herself from saying anything stupid and tried to calm herself which seemed to be failing.
Harry had gone very white.
"Blown up? You told me they died in a car crash!" Harry said.
"'CAR CRASH!" roared Hagrid and Nat together. They were both purple with rage.
"How could a car crash kill Lily an' James Potter? It's an outrage! A scandal! Harry Potter not knowin' his own story when every kid in our world knows his name!'" Hagrid said angrily.
"'But why? What happened?"Harry asked urgently.
The anger faded in matter of seconds from Nat's face and was replaced with nervousness. She turned white . How could she tell her brother what happened that horrible night. She could hear her mother's screams in her head as she replayed that scene in her head. She still had nightmares from it and she was wondering how to break it to Harry. She felt a lump on her throat and tears threating to spill.
"Harry. I don't know if I can say anything. It's too much to bear. We don't know if we are the right people to tell you this." Nat whispered to him her eyes refusing to meet his.
"Please Natalie... Please Nat?" Harry asked his voice was dying to know which made her heart wrench.
She closed her yes as she let a few tears roll down her cheek.
"I never expected this," Hagrid said, in a low, worried voice. "I had no idea, when Dumbledore told me there might be trouble gettin' hold of yeh, how much yeh didn't know. "
He threw a dirty look at the Dursleys.
"Nat? Should I say? Or do you..." Hagrid started asking.
"It's okay Hagrid. I'll tell him." she said her voice barely above her whisper.
She took a deep breath and wiped her tears away and started " I can't tell you everything because I don't remember much of it also I think Dumbledore would want to tell you this himself."
"It all started when this man ….. he was evil. Very evil. He was murderer . He was one of the worst villain's in wizarding history. His name was Voldermort." Nat said. Hearing his name Hagrid gave a shudder.
"Well.. people of our world are terrified of him so terrifies to even say his name. But I don't care. Fear of the name increases the fear of the thing itself. But yeah.. people called him You-Know-Who. So about a few years ago he started gathering followers and soon everything became dark. You couldn't trust anyone. One of the safest places was Hogwarts because he was afraid of Dumbledore. Only Dumbledore I think. " Nat said.
"So yeah , there were people who were against him obviously. So Mom and Dad -They were amazing people Harry. So loving and caring. They were so brave you know, very brave." Nat said fondly. She missed them but she had to stay strong for Harry and she wondered if she could.
"So yeah. After about a year you were born, he started hunting us down . I don't know why maybe to recruit them I think. So he came to our house on Halloween and..." she started sobbing, she couldn't bear to say it. It hurt too much. "He … Mom and dad they were... He killed them." she whispered so softly that she started too doubt if Harry heard especially between Hagrid's sobs but he did. Heard every word of it.
"So yeah... he tried to us too …. Everyone thought I died too with them but you survived. We both did. Never wondered where you got scar from? That's no ordinary cut and it definitely cannot be made that clean from a 'car crash' . That mark only comes from a very dark curse and that's why your famous. You survived the Killing curse Harry something that never happened. Usually Voldermort swipes clean of the people who fight against him. Uses the killing curse to finish the job. But you survived and so did I though I never got that mark and I don't know why." Nat finished telling her brother the story.
She saw Harry's expressionless face but she understood how he was feeling because she was in the same situation. "It's okay Harry, Mom and Dad will always be there with us. And I will be here for you always. Maybe not for the past ten years but from now on I will be there for you no matter what."
"Took yeh from the ruined house myself, on Dumbledore's orders. Brought yeh ter this lot …" Hagrid told him sadly.
"Load of old tosh," said Uncle Vernon. Nat forgot they were there all together.
"Now, you listen here, boy," he snarled. "I accept there's something strange about you, probably nothing a good beating wouldn't have cured – and as for all this about your parents, well, they were weirdos, no denying it, and the world's better off without them in my opinion – asked for all they got, getting mixed up with these wizarding types – just what I expected, always knew they'd come to a sticky end –".
But at that moment, Hagrid leapt from the sofa and drew a battered pink umbrella from inside his coat. Pointing this at Uncle Vernon like a sword, he said, "I'm warning you, Dursley – I'm warning you – one more word …".' Go Hagrid!' Nat cheered internally happy that her pig of an uncle finally shut up.
"'But what happened to Vol– sorry – I mean, You-Know-Who?" Harry asked his sister.
"I don't know Harry. Vanished I guess." Nat said gravely.
"'Good question, Harry. Disappeared. Vanished. Same night he tried ter kill you. Makes yeh even more famous. That's the biggest myst'ry, see ... he was gettin' more an' more powerful – why'd he go? Some say he died. Codswallop, in my opinion. Dunno if he had enough human left in him to die. Some say he's still out there, bidin' his time, like, but I don' believe it. People who was on his side came back ter ours. Some of 'em came outta kinda trances. Don' reckon they could've done if he was comin' back." Hagrid told him.
"I think he's still out there somewhere but lost his powers. Too weak to carry on. 'Because something about you finished him, Harry. There was something going on that night he hadn't counted on I don't know exactly what it was, no one does but something made him disappear." Nat spoke.
"'Hagrid, Nat' Harry said quietly, 'I think you must have made a mistake. I don't think I can be a wizard."
Nat was shocked. Are you kidding? He was her brother and she was sure because those green eyes that were just like her mother's was looking at her with reason but also hope.
"Harry! You are my brother. I know those eyes anywhere!" Nat explained.
"'Not a wizard, eh? Never made things happen when you was scared, or angry?'" Hagrid asked him. Nat looked at him with questioning eyes. Seeing Harry did not respond immediately as if he was thinking of every magical accident and adding them up thinking of a logical reason why it happened. Nat gave him a proud smirk.
"See?" said Hagrid. "Harry Potter, not a wizard – you wait, you'll be right famous at Hogwarts."
"Haven't I told you he's not going?" Uncle Vernon hissed. "He's going to Stonewall High and he'll be grateful for it. I've read those letters and he needs all sorts of rubbish – spell books and wands and –"
"If he wants ter go, a great Muggle like you won't stop him, ' growled Hagrid.

She turned to her uncle and aunt and stood tall and proud "He is my brother, and if he want to go to Hogwarts he will because I will not stop at anything till I make him happy and loved. You've tortured him enough. If you do anything more I will personally make sure your lives will be hell. " she told them fiercely.

'Stop Lily an' James Potter's son goin' ter Hogwarts! Yer mad. His name's been down ever since he was born. He's off ter the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world. Seven years there and he won't know himself. He'll be with youngsters of his own sort, fer a change, an' he'll be under the greatest Headmaster Hogwarts ever had, Albus Dumbled–'"
"'I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!' yelled Uncle Vernon. But he had finally gone too far. No one insults Dumbledore especially in front of a eleven foot giant and that's when Nat knew this is the part where Uncle Vernon is going to get hurt and it made her happy for some reason. But it was Dudley who got the hit.
Hagrid seized his umbrella and whirled it over his head. "NEVER –" he thundered, "– INSULT – ALBUS – DUMBLEDORE – IN – FRONT – OF – ME!".
He brought the umbrella swishing down through the air to point at Dudley – there was a flash of violet light, a sound like a firecracker, a sharp squeal and next second, Dudley was dancing on the spot with his hands clasped over his fat bottom, howling in pain. When he turned his back on them, Harry saw a curly pig's tail poking through a hole in his trousers. Nat almost laughed out loud but snorted instead. Harry gave her slight smirk seeing he was enjoying the scene himself. Nat gave him a wink. That boy deserved it probably. According to Nat her cousin looked like a pig with a wig anyways, so having a pigtail made her entertained. She wished she could tell Fred and George seeing that they enjoyed all this but not talking them for almost two years made her started hating them especially Fred. He was the ruder and meaner twin according to her. But Cat thinks that it's George who's meaner. So in a nutshell she hater Fred and her partner-in-Crime hated George.
Since they started pranking each other back and forth , keeping the 'Pranking kings' and the 'Pranking queens' in the same room is dangerous.
"'Shouldn'ta lost me temper,' he said ruefully, "but it didn't work anyway. Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was so much like a pig anyway there wasn't much left ter do." Hagrid told them.
Nat covered her mouth to actually stop herself from laughing so badly at that moment and gave Hagrid a wink.
"Be grateful if yeh didn't mention that ter anyone at Hogwarts,' he said. 'I'm – er – not supposed ter do magic, strictly speakin'. I was allowed ter do a bit ter follow yeh an' get yer letters to yeh an' stuff – one o' the reasons I was so keen ter take on the job –' " Hagrid said.
"Are you kidding me Hagrid. That just made my day!" Nat said with glee her eyes sparkling.
"Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry after laughing at his sister's comment.
"'Oh, well – I was at Hogwarts meself but I – er – got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wand in half an' everything. But Dumbledore let me stay on as gamekeeper. Great man, Dumbledore." Hagrid answered.
"It's gettin' late and we've got lots ter do tomorrow," said Hagrid loudly. "Gotta get up ter town, get all yer books an' that."
With that Hagrid gave Nat his coat which was big enough for both of them. Nat smiled at him and motioned him over "What are you waiting for? Come here lil' one." Nat said with a smirk.
Harry gave a huge grin and walked towards his sister and the both of them cuddled themselves to sleep, Harry safe and secure in her arms thinking that she will never let him be alone ever again.
