The Potters' and the Sorcerer's Stone
Author's Note:
Hey guys! So this is my first fan fiction and I had this idea for Harry Potter in which what if he had a sister? I have it planned out already so I'll be able to posts updates quickly :P thank you!
Character: Ashley Lily Potter. She has brown straight hair, slightly pale color and she has the same scar as Harry but hers is on her left side of the forehead because when Voldemort attacked them, Harry and Ashley were together. She's a little bit shorter than harry but has perfect eye sight.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter books, movies, characters, and anything that was created by somebody else.
Hope you guys enjoy! Now, let's start this unexpected journey!
Chapter 1- Brat Storm
If I told you I have a regular life, I would be lying. My life is nowhere near normal and I don't think it will be in the foreseeable future. To start off, my name is Ashley Potter. I have a brother whose the same age as me named Harry Potter. Our parents were murdered when we were little so we were forced to stay with our obnoxious aunt, uncle, and cousin. They don't really see us as family. And I'm not exaggerating, I live in the garage and my brother is in a closet! Anyways, I guess I should just go straight into the story...
My alarm went off rapidly as the daylight streamed in and stabbed me in the face. I groaned and stopped the clock so nobody else would be woken up. Today was Dudley's birthday and I honestly did not want to be a part of it. I mean honestly, if he is a jerk to us, why should we be nice to him? I sigh and get off my broken bed before heading inside. Everybody is awake; Dudley is being blindfolded by my aunt with her hands as she says sappy things for his birthday and my uncle is just sitting there saying happy birthday over and over again. I stand there utterly still so they wouldn't see me until Harry appears. He smiles at me and walks over.
"Good morning." I say with a grin.
"And morning to you." He says back with a grin.
I bite my lip and look up at him from my brunette colored bangs. "I have something for you..."
Harry rolls his eyes. "Come on sis you already got me those toy soldiers, what else did you do?"
I smile widely. "Well it was an early birthday present so I got you some dessert too! Except you have to wait for them until your actual birthday."
Before he could utter a thank you, our aunt turned to us with a scowl.
"Hurry up and make breakfast! Try and not burn anything while you're at it."
"Yes Aunt Petunia." We mutter.
Harry starts stirring the eggs while I cook the ham but then our uncle with his obnoxious voice yells at us.
"Bring me my coffee boy!"
"Yes Uncle Vernon." Harry says quickly.
I bite my tongue to not say anything harsh and Harry just nudges me to stay quiet as we run around the kitchen. I keep glancing over at Dudley as he stares at the gifts. Uh oh. I sense a brat storm about to explode.
"How many are there?" He hisses.
Yep, I knew it.
"36! Counted them myself." Vernon says with a sickening grin.
"36?! BUT LAST YEAR I HAD 37!" Dudley screamed.
I groan under my breath and Harry and I look at each other with annoyed looks as he keeps yelling and Petunia gushing over how he'll get two others.
And the day has just begun.
We all head out to the car to go to the zoo and as everyone gets in our uncle stops us.
"I don't want any funny business from you two, alright? Any business at all or you two will not have any meals for a week!"
I glance at Harry who is keeping a leveled scowl at him and I try and do the same but fail miserably. The ride is quick and soon we find ourselves at the zoo at the snake cage. I stare at the creature with a small smile and so does Harry as we both whisper to each other about how cool it is until Dudley begins throwing a hissy fit since it won't move.
"He's asleep!" Harry hisses.
"If you want to wake him up why don't you just crawl inside?" I say with a cocked eyebrow.
Vernon shoots me a look and I shuffle closer to Harry.
"He's boring!" Dudley exclaims as he walks off with Petunia and Vernon.
Harry stares at the snake. "Sorry about him he doesn't understand what it's like to be stuck in a room."
"While people put their ugly faces against the window." I say with a giggle.
Harry nods and all of a sudden the snake begins to move closer to the glass. I gasp and clutch Harry's arm.
"C-Can you understand us?" Harry questions.
The snake nods.
I surprisingly take it well and just step a little closer.
"Well, are we doing well? It's our first time talking to a snake. Do you talk to, uh, people often?" I ask intrigued.
The snake shakes his head.
I beam at it and so does Harry as we continue asking it questions until surprise surprise Dudley comes over and pushes me over. I yelp as Harry tries to catch me but we both end up on the floor glaring at him.
Suddenly something in Harry's eyes changed and soon enough the glass case vanishes and Dudley falls right in. My eyes widen as I laugh and so does Harry but then the snake slithers out and advances towards us.
"Thankssss." It hisses.
I just nod and harry whispers. "Any time."
As Harry looks back at the retreating figure, I smirk at the case and the glass reappears! I gasp and smack Harry's arm and when he sees he starts to laugh with me as Dudley and our aunt and uncle begins yelling since Dudley is stuck inside the exhibit. Suddenly Vernon looks down at us glaring. The car ride is fast and silent but as soon as we make it inside, he grabs us by the hair.
"What happened?!" He spat.
"I-I don't know! One minute the glass was there the next it wasn't! It was like magic!" Harry yells.
"It wasn't his fault!" I yell.
Vernon just pushes Harry back into the closet before locking the door.
He takes me to the garage and slams the door before yelling at both of us that magic isn't real.
The following morning, Harry and I are playing on the stairs with his toy soldiers before a couple of letters push through the door. I gasp, excited to see what it is, and we both bolt to it and pick them up.
Harry hands me a letter that says Ashley L. Potter with the address called Hogwarts. I stare at it and fiddle with the edges as Harry finds one with his name on it too. We both grin at each other before walking into the kitchen. We both begin to open our mail before Dudley the Dick jumps up and snatches them yelling we have letters.
"Give it back!" Harry yells.
"That isn't yours Dudley!" I hiss.
Vernon just laughs as he looks at the cards. "Who would be writing to you two?"
We watch helplessly as their eyes widen and soon enough they are trashing our letters. I bite back a yell of anger with some interesting word choices but Harry helps me by pulling me away to his room. I sit on one side of the edge with my legs tucked under me.
"I don't understand. They can't do that! What was so wrong about getting letters about a school!" I say as I fiddle with the hem of my t-shirt.
Harry sighs. "Well you know them, they hate it when good things happen to us."
"Amen." I growl.
As the next few days went by, we kept getting the same letter but Vernon would either tear them up, burn them, or be creative with it. It was quite sad actually. Not only were there hundreds of letters but owls too who carried them; and all we could do was watch.
Then Sunday came.
We were serving our family as Vernon continued to do his little happy moment since there was no post on Sunday's. As I was cleaning the dishes, Harry ran over to me and opened the window.
"What? What is it?" I whisper.
Harry points and I stare in disbelief at the possibly hundred owl's on our lawn. I let out a small laugh when I suddenly hear a rumbling from the chimney. We both look at each other before slowly approaching it. Then the best thing happened. Millions of letters flew out as we both jumped around trying to grab a card. I finally got a hold of one and so did Harry. We both make a mad dash for the door but Vernon grabs Harry and I by the waists. I kick at him and yell out until finally he screams.
"That's it! We are moving far away! Far away where nobody could find us!"
And he wasn't kidding.
Within hours we were at a stormy lighthouse on a rocky island. Harry and I slept downstairs but I just laid there watching Harry draw in the sand. I watch as he draws a birthday cake when suddenly I remembered.
"Wait!" I whisper.
Harry stops and looks at me puzzled. "What is it?"
I dig around my suitcase until I find it. I pull out a small case of cupcakes and hand it to him with a grin.
"Happy Birthday Harry." I say hugging him.
Harry burrows his face into my neck. "Thank you so much."
I just nod and sit up with Harry.
"Make a wish." I whisper.
Harry shuts his eyes before taking a bite, until there's a huge bang. My eyes widen and I shuffle over to harry who has his arm protectively across me. I flinch as the door bangs again and again until it crashes down. We are both up in a flash and hiding in the corner while the others, who woke up, just stare helplessly as a huge giant man walks in.
"Oops! Sorry bout that!" He says as he pushes the door back up.
I glance at Harry who seems just as confused and scared. The man stomps over to Vernon and bends his gun backwards before muttering something. He turns back around and advances towards Dudley.
"I haven't seen you two since you were babies, but Harry, where's your sister?"
"I-I'm not Harry!" Dudley stutters.
I grip onto Harry's arm as he walks out of the darkness. "I am sir. And this is my sister."
"Well of course you two are! Here, Harry, I got you something!" He says pulling something out of his back pocket. "I sat on it but I can imagine it'll taste fine!"
He hands Harry a box and on the inside is a heavily frosted cake. Considering the man had just stormed into the house, Harry puts it to the side and we walk over to the man.
"Who are you?" I blurt.
Harry nudges me in the ribs and I just shrug my shoulders.
"Willbius Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Graves at Hogwarts. Of course you two must know all about Hogwarts!"
We both shake our heads.
"Blimey! Well didn't you two ever wonder where your parents had learned it all?"
We both cock our heads to the side.
"Your wizards, Harry and Ashley."
"Excuse me?" I say as Harry says. "I'm a what?"
I shake my head while harry just stares at him perplexed.
"I-I can't be a wizard! I'm Harry! Just... Just Harry!"
"Same." I mutter.
"Not just harry. Ever wondered how you could something when you're angry or scared that you just couldn't explain?" Hagrid asks.
I just nod and soon he gives us both those familiar cards. We look at each other before opening them up.
I read it thoroughly as Harry reads it out loud. Once he's done, Vernon snaps.
"You two are not going to that school! When we took you two in we promised we would put a stop to all this nonsense."
I suddenly whip around and glare at him. "You knew about us being wizards? What? Did you not think that was something important to know!"
Suddenly it's Petunia to take a turn. She begins to circle us around, throwing insults about our parents. She called them names I would've slapped her if it weren't for harry gently grabbing my arm. She kept telling us how our mother was a wizard and so was dad.
"And you lied! You said they died in a car crash!" I growl in disbelief.
"A car crash?! Lily and James died in a car crash?!" Hagrid shouts. "That's an outrage! A scandal!"
"You will not be going!" Vernon exclaims.
"Oh and I suppose muggles like yourselves can stop them!" Hagrid yells.
Harry frowns at him. "Muggle...?"
"Non magic folk." He mutters quickly. "They had their names down ever since they were born and they will be going to the finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world and be under the influence by the greatest headmaster Hogwarts has ever seen; Albus Dumbledore."
" I will NOT pay to let some crack-pot old fool teach them magic tricks!"
Hagrid suddenly pulls out his magic umbrella and points it at Vernon with a venomous look. "Never. Insult. Albus Dumbledore in front of me."
Suddenly he turns and shoots Dudley in the bum creating a pig's tail making everyone scream except Harry and I since we were laughing.
Hagrid turns to us with a wink. "I'd appreciate if you two didn't say anything, magic outside of Hogwarts is kind of illegal." Hagrid suddenly stops and looks at his pocket watch. "Well. We are a bit behind schedule we best be off." Hagrid says walking to the door.
Harry and I just watch him.
"Unless you want to stay of course." Hagrid says as he leaves.
I turn to Harry and we look at each other with small smiles. I take his hand and nod. We both grin and run off after Hagrid as we embark on a whole new adventure.
