Chapter 3
Surprises in Diagon Alley
That morning, Rose and her parents left for Diagon Alley. Lots of people stared at her and greeted her. She was confused as to why, and she made sure to ask her parents later, but as she was the heiress to the ancient and most noble house of Black, she had to be lady like and formal to everyone she met.
After they got through the crowd, and were out of ear-shot, Rose asked her parents.
"Why am I famous?" she asked. Her parents exchanged looks, "we'll tell you after we get your things."
"alright, but I'll hold you on to that."Rose replied.
As they made their way to madam malkins Rose noticed Draco and a black haired boy talking.
"Hello Draco." She said from behind. Both boys turned around.
"Oh hello Rose. Rose this is... What did you tell me your name was again?" Draco asked the boy.
"Er I didn't" said the boy.
"Oh well, what's your name?" Rose asked sweetly.
"Harry. Harry Potter" he said. He had expected reactions from the two but only the Draco kid gasped.
Rose raised her eye brows. "Pfft.. Please. YOUR not a Potter. I am. My mother and father were killed on halloween night when I was only one. Voldemort killed them. I'm the only remaining Potter left. Next time, try pretending to be someone else". Rose stated, a bit angry.
Draco stepped down and let Rose get measured. When she did stand on the stool, she noticed they looked a lot similar. They both had black hair, it was definitely not tame, his eyes... They had the exact green eyes.
Harry went through a lot of moods. First he was shocked, then naive, then annoyed and then finally angry.
"Well, you know what. That's what's happened to me to okay! My parents are just like yours! My parent.. Lily Evans and James Potter are dead, and it's all because of Voldemort! so don't you yell at me! because I'm 100% sure I know who I am. You're the one that's lying. My au-I was told I was an only child."
Harry said, clearly hurt.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't know-" Rose apologised.
"No-no I'm sorry I've never shouted like that. Who are you with?" asked Harry.
"Oh. I'm with my parents by the way." Rose replied, shaking Harry's hand.
"But didn't you just say..?-"
"Oh they're my adoptive parents. Regulus Arcturus Black and Sophia Jane Black." Rose smiled. They were both done.
"Where do you have to go now?" Rose asked.
Harry thought. "I don't know but I'm with Hagrid, he' the groundskeeper at Hogwarts." Harry said.
They left the shop together and Rose's parents were talking to a huge guy.
"Oh, thos're my parents over there." Rose pointed.
"And that's Hagrid. It seems like they're talking to each other." Harry said.
"come let's go tell them we got our robes." said Rose.
"Mother! Father!" Rose shouted to her parents. They turned around and embraced their daughter but then they both had a serious look on their face.
"Rose who's this?" asked Regulus.
"oh yes. This is Harry." said Rose.
"Harry who?" asked Sophia.
'Thas' Harry Potter, Sophia." said Hagrid.
Rose's parents looked extremely shocked.
"There's something he didn't tell us. He never told us she had a..." regulus muttered to himself.
"I'm confused Hagrid." Harry said.
"Hagrid, how about you and young Harry shop with us and then you can both join us at our house and we can properly discuss things?" Sophia asked.
"That'd be great" Hagrid said cheerfully.
Rose and Harry looked excited.
"Well lets go then, I spect' you haven' been to gringotts yet?" asked Hagrid.
"No, we haven't." said Sophia.
"Well lets' go then. Me an' Harry didn't pull out enough anyway." Hagrid chuckled.
Rose, Harry and their guardians entered Gringotts. They walked up to a counter and Sophia cleared her throat.
A goblin looked over and saw them. "Yes?" he asked.
"We'd like to access Ms Rose Lilian Potter nee Black's vault and Mr Harry James Potter's vault thank you." said Regulus.
"And the keys?" the goblin asked.
"Here, Ms Rose Black's key." Regulus handed over the key.
"And Mr Harry Potters one." said Hagrid, handing over the key. The goblin inspected the key and then nodded.
"Griphook!" shouted the goblin and returned to the counter.
A small goblin came in, he led them to the cart and they rode, passing vaults and vaults. Rose even heard a dragon roar.
Finally they reached Rose's vault. Which, was surprisingly, right next to Harry's one. Rose opened her vault, she had a lot of money.
She entered and there sat a note. She stuffed it in her pocket, and grabbed nearly 300 galleons until her father told her that she only needed about 1 or 2 hundred. Rose nodded and left her vault.
She looked at Harry's vault and it seemed exactly like her's. She saw a note behind some Sickles. It mus have fallen.
"Look you have a note too." she said pointing to it. Harry picked it up and placed it in his pocket.
When they were done from the vaults, Rose waited until they were in Gringotts when she decided to read the note. It was short. But it was extremely shocking. She looked up to see the group walking ahead of her.
"Father." Rose said.
Regulus stopped and turned. "Yes darling?"
"I'd like a blood test." She said.
This surprised Hagrid, Regulus and Sophia, but they got over it.
"Of course sweetheart, but why?" He asked.
"Read this note father." Rose handed her note over to him.
Regulus read it. And when he was done, he was extremely shocked. Sophia took it off him and read it as well. She was also in a deep state of shock.
"Hagrid, I have one too." Harry said showing it to Hagrid, Regulus and Sophia looked over it and their eyes widened.
"Oh my, oh my." muttered Sophia.
Regulus motioned the group to follow him, as he turned around and went back to the counter.
"I'd like to have a blood test arranged right now." Regulus said.
The goblin at the counter looked and nodded.
He led them to a room and motioned for Harry and Rose to sit.
"I'll need either a small vial of their blood, or I can extract it with a needle." said the goblin.
"extract it please, I wouldn't want to mess anything up." Regulus stated.
The goblin nodded, he took out two needles, extracted both their blood and then left the room.
A few minutes later he walked in with 2 folders.
In one folder, contained Harry's results. In the other folder, contained Rose's results.
"We should open them at home." said Rose. Everyone agreed.
When they left Gringotts, they decided to go to the pet shop. Rose was literally bouncing up and down when they entered.
All the animals stopped what they had been doing and stared at Rose. And if they weren't in cages, they came to her.
Hagrid got Harry a beautiful snowy owl, which he named Hedwig.
When everyone came around, Rose was still talking to a owl about flying. They made her hurry up and she did.
When she looked around, she felt something pulling her closer. She followed her instincts and went to it. There at the very back she found the most beautiful serpent she'd ever laid eyes on. It was the Inland Taipan snake, the worlds #1 most venomous snake ever! She spoke to it.
"hello there. What is your name?" Rose asked the snake.
"Hello, human. I do not have a name. I feel a strong bond between us. What is your name?"
"Rose Lilian Potter nee Black."
"Uh.. a Potter. Yes, that would be why you can speak and understand me. you are a parseltongue, they are extremely rare."
"yes I know, you are quite intelligent."
"Thank you. You are very powerful, I can sense a great aura coming from you."
"Really? Well, I'd like to ask you if you'd come home with me."
"Hmm, you are the first human to actually ask. But then again you are the first human ever to speak to me, I accept."
"I'll let you out, but promise you will not attack Anyone or Anything."
"I promise Miistres"
Rose cast alohamora on the lock and allowed the Inland Taipan to slither onto her shoulder.
"Get ready for a scream, they'll definitely be surprised with whom I have chosen."
"Do not worry, I'm used to it."
Rose smiled, and the snake smiled back.
"Rose are you nearly-.." Sophia looked at her daughter and nearly screamed. Calming herself down. she said,"Rose that is the world deadliest snake."
"I know mother." Rose said continuing to walk to the counter.
"But-"
"Mother, it's alright, I spoke to them and they agree to be my familiar."
"Fine." said her mother, defeated.
They walked together to the counters, and Harry nearly fell.
"Oh my gosh, thats the-"
"-most deadliest snake in the world. Yes, I know."
"ARGHH!" The shopkeeper fainted.
A few minutes later she awoke, and screamed.
"HAVE IT FOR FREE! TAKE IT JUST TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed getting as far away as possible.
"Why thank you. I'd like to inform you this snake costs 100,000 galleons, you are so generous. You kept my family and I wealthy." Rose smirked cunningly.
"I think Draco was right. You'd make a god Slytherin." said Regulus.
"I still think she will be in Ravenclaw" said Sophia.
"I think she'll be in Gryffindor, quite brave to go near an Inland Taipan. she is" said Hagrid.
After they were done shopping, they all took to the floo to Black mansion.
"I'll take my things to my room. Come Harry, we'll put your things away too in the guest room, unless you end up leaving." said Rose.
"Sure" harry brightened up. He had a new friend, who could possibly be a relative, he has a chance at moving out from the Dursleys and he'd be leaving to go to a magical school. Could life get any better?
Harry moved his trunk and things to the guest room.
Ater he and Rose did that, they went downstairs to the Living room were Hagrid was sitting with them.
"Well, Harry I'm gonna go now. If you need anything just tell Mr or Mrs Black. If not, just owl me." Hagrid smiled at him before taking the floo to Hogwarts.
"Alright, Harry, Rose sit down and we'll tell you everything we know." They both nodded, sitting down.
"So, The potters had a daughter, that's what everyone knew. Voldemort, one Halloween night, went to their house and and murdered the parents. He would have let them lived, but they were loving parents and died to protect their child. Then one known as Albus Dumbledore, picked up the little girl and sent her to live with someone. And that someone is us. Rose, your the Girl who lived, that's why your'e famous." said Regulus.
"And as for you, Harry. We owled Dumbledore at Gringotts, we got the letter back while you were all putting you're things back. This is what happened, James Potter owned an invisibility cloak. He covered you both, but obviously as babies, being fidgety and everything, Rose accidentally removed the cloak but harry still had it on him, everyone knew it was a girl Lily had, no one knew she had a boy, but since they went into hiding, they weren't able to tell anyone, and even Dumbledore hadn't known. anyway, later the cloak was somehow removed, and some muggle authority called "Pol-ees" who are in charge in crime, they're sort of like muggle aurors,they found the child and tracked down his family tree, they found his only relatives the Dursleys. They sent him there telling Lily's sister what happened. Dumbledore only recently found out when he saw one of the letters addressed to the boy. That, that boy Harry, was you."
There was silence. Then Harry broke it.
"So me and Rose are siblings?" he asked.
"No." said Regulus.
Harry and Rose looked astounded, they had to be! or else the story didn't make any sense.
"You're not just siblings, you're twins." said Sophia
There was another silence. Then it was broken by the twins cheering. "WOOO! WERE TWINS!" They jumped up and down hugging each other for the milliont time.
"So who's older?" asked Rose.
"Harry is." said Sophia.
Harry stuck out his tongue teasingly.
"So anyway, lets look at those files from the blood test!" said Rose, grinning.
"Oh yeah!" said Regulus nearly forgetting.
"Harry can go first as he is oldest" Said Sophia.
Harry took his folder and opened it. He laid it on the table so they could all see.

"wow" Said Rose. "Me and Harry Make up the four founders of Hogwarts..."
"we have wandless magic, plus elemental magic..." Harry said.
"Together... we're more powerful than Voldemort.." Said Rose gasping.
"wow..just wow..." said Sophia.
"Father..Can I ask you a few questions..?" asked Rose. "Who is Sirius Black? And will Harry still live with his,I mean our aunt and uncle, they must be horrible father! please don't let him go back!" said Rose
"Sirius Black is my older brother. He was framed by Peter Pettigrew, who is a supporter of Voldemort. Peter is the reason your parents are dead." Regulus said darkly.
"And yes, Harry is going to live with us if he you like us to adopt you Harry?"
"Yes!" He said nearly jumping. "I mean, yes, that would be lovely thank you."
"Your welcome dear," Sophia said smiling. "Tomorrow Regulus and I shall go to the Ministry-"
"No, Sophia today. We need to do it today. I can't stand the thought of my brother living in that horrible place for even a minute longer." said Regulus.
"Alright then, we'll go right now. Rose show Harry around, We'll also stop by and get all of Harry's things from the Dursley's.
"Ofcourse, Mum, dad. Bye!" Rose exclaimed.
"Bye!" said Harry.
"So let's get started" said Rose.
"Woah. This house is big, is it a castle or something?" Harry asked having a glass of water once he'd been shown a full tour.
"Actually, it's a mansion." said Rose simply.
"Now i'll show you too your room. There are heaps of choices, where do you want yours?" asked Rose.
"Dunno." said Harry.
"I'll ask Trippy to help us.". said Rose.
"Who?" asked Harry.
"Trippy, our House Elf. look, Trippy!"said Rose.
There was a loud crack and a house elf appeared.
"Yes Mistress?" asked Trippy.
"I'd like you to meet my brother. Harry." said Rose.
Trippy looked. "Trippy did not know Mistress had a sibling."
"Yes, you see, we were seperated when we were babies."
"Oh. Trippy apologises, I is being nosy."
"no no, you have every right to know, you're the most trusted one in this family." Rose smiled at Trippy. "Anyway, I'd like you to show Harry to a room near mine, the largest one you can find."
"Yes Mistress. Come sir." Harry followed Trippy.
"Oh I'll be in the library." Rose shouted out to them.
Rose sighed. She couldn't wait for the adventures she would endure with her brother. Afterall, they had a crazy, powerful mad man after them.
