The Start of Everything BOOK 2 {Harry Potter Fanfiction}

Chapter 9.

Lectoras pov~

It's me and Florries 16th birthday! I awoke early and grinned to myself. 16, at last. We would also be getting our final power today...I wonder what they're going to be?...

I grabbed my pillow and hit Florrie, waking her up. She jerked awake and looked around in a panic. I laughed softly bwcause it was early and everyone was still asleep.

"Happy birthday, Florence Lily Black." I grinned.

"Happy birthday, Lectora Siri Black." She said back then she stopped.

"Lily.." she mumbled softly.

"Lily?" I repeated, "what're you going on about?"

Florrie began telling me about her talk with Snape.

"I think Lily Potter was friends with our mum and Snape." Florrie said. I wrinkled my nose.

"Wow. Well, anyway..."

Florrie and I took a seat at the Gryffindor table and began getting breakfast. Only a few people were up, such as Dean, Seamus and Lavender Brown.

Hermione, Ron and Harry came in first.

"Happy birthday, twins!" They said, handing us a book called 'how to handle your unusual powers' .

"Thanks! This is great!" Florrie said, answering for both of us. I grinned to show I love it.

Later that day, Neville came up to me and he gave me a black owl for my present. I hugged him tightly (Neville, not the owl) and promised to spend time with him later.

Florrie came up to me, a silver charm bracelet on her wrist and a note in her hand.

"Dumbledore wants to see us." She said. We ran to the phoenix statue and said the password.

"Firstly, happy birthday twins." Dumbledore said as way as greeting. We both said thank you simultaneasly.

"Well, let's see what your last power is. Florence, you first." Dumbledore said to Florrie.

Florrie closed her eyes then suddening her hair began to glow. It turned red and when she opened her eyes they were red too. She opened her palm and a fireball shot out and landed on Dumbledores robes. He calmly put out the fire.

"Well done, Florrie. Your final power is fire. You are an elemental." He said. Florrie grinned and turned to look at me.

"Lectora?" Dumbledore said, looking at me then. I closed my eyes and waited. Nothing happened for a while then I felt myself wishing I was more like Florrie. She got her power so easily.

I heard gasps and opened my eyes.

"It's not working." I said miserably. My voice sounded different.

"It did work, Tora. Look.." Florrie said, using her water powers to make a mirror. I looked down and saw I looked identical to Florrie. I gasped and stepped back. I'd turned into Florrie.

"It seems, Lectora, you are a ... shapeshifter. You should be able to turn into animals as well as humans." Dumbledore said. I nodded and imagined myself turning into a cat. I felt myself shrinking and soon I was a little cat.

I meowed and imagined how I normally look. After a few seconds I was back and I stood up, dusting off my jeans.

"Cool!" I said. Florrie grinned again and we both turned to look at Dumbledore.

"Well done girls. I shall see you later." He said.

~1 hour later~

"Hermione? Exactly how many people have you invited to this meeting?" Ron asked, as he came and sat down with his butterbeer.

"I don't know. A fair few." Hermione replied. I chuckled and took a sip of my own butterbeer.

We were in the HogsHead, waiting for people from Hogwarts to come for a meeting at starting up the DA. Neville sat next to me and wrapped his arm around my waist. I snuggled into him and smiled.

We waited. And waited. And, ooh guess! We waited. I was beginning to lose hope when a group of Ravenclaws walked in. Then some Gryffindors and a Hufflepuff. Soon the Hogshead was full to the doors. My mouth fell open and Hermione grinned smugly at us.

"So...uh...." Harry began.

Then it really began.
