Lupin-Black Twins

This is my story.

You may have heard the story about Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived. This isn't his story. It's mine. Well me and my twin sister, Rhea.

It all started when my dad and Rhea's dad, met at Hogwarts. They were friends that fell in love. They dated up until their last year. They broke up for some reason, no one bothers to tell me about. When they were on their break, they met our mother (separately). I don't really know much about her, Moony nor my dad talk about her at all. She died, I think. I don't really know, back to the story.

Me and Rhea are twins. Her father is Remus Lupin, or as I call him, Moony. My father is Sirius Black. I guess you can put two and two together. After our mom died or left, our dad's realized they were meant for each other and got married. We were happy, I think. I was only one at the time. We lived at Lupin cottage, still do, but it always felt empty without him.

My father got sent to Azkaban, for a crime he didn't commit. The death of Peter Pettigrew and telling Voldemort of the Potter's whereabouts. I know he didn't do it. He sends me letters from time to time, but he and Moony always say I can never write back, that it isn't safe. It tears me apart every time. I wish he could escape or prove to the ministry that he was framed.

Rhea is exactly like Moony. We both did not get our appearances from our mother. Well at least from what I can tell. I found one picture of her in a dusty box in our attic. I think it was her. She was extremely beautiful. Long dirty blonde hair, average height, light brown eyes, smile that could light up a room. Rhea looks exactly like Moony. They have the same chocolate brown eyes, reddish brown hair. They even have an almost matching scar on their faces and they are werewolves. They both have a affinity for coffee, reading and chocolate. They are so alike and happy together it hurts. I know Remus loves me. I am emotionally as much of his daughter as Rhea is but they have a connection. Something that can't be broken or traded in. I am not jealous she has that. I want only the best for her, I'm just sad I can't have that with my dad.

I, on the other hand am exactly like my father. Dark brown, medium-length curly hair and dresses in mostly black. I have one eye grey, like his and one eye light brown, like my mother's, I guess. Mischievous, don't give a crap about what anyone says attitude. I'm proud that I'm like him. I became an animagi for Rhea when she starting turning into a werewolf. I turned into a grim or big black dog. Moony says we even have similar personalities. He always talks about how they were at Hogwarts. All the pranks they created with the other marauders. I love those stories.

Rhea is my person, and I am hers. It's us against the world. We are always together. We don't really have friends. Actually none at all. We live pretty sheltered.  Moony home schooled us until this year in fact. We are heading to Hogwarts because he has a teaching job there. Rhea and I are really excited to meet new people. Our last name is Lupin-Black but have to change it for Hogwarts to just Lupin. Moony doesn't think that people should know Sirius Black is my dad because of the whole psychotic Azkaban situation. I'm not ok with it, but I have to be.

Rhea doesn't necessarily understand how I'm feeling, but she tries. I love that about her. She has everything she needs. She loves Sirius just as much as I do, but she's ok without him. I am an empty shell. The one piece of the puzzle that you lose. I need my dad soon or I am going to fall apart. And I can never tell her that.

I am on the train to Hogwarts with Rhea and Moony. He fell asleep already. I guess he was tired with the full moon a few days ago. Rhea and I are talking about Hogwarts and what houses we might get sorted into. I feel like Rhea might be either a Gryffindor, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff. She is brave but also really smart and loves to read. Also extremely loyal. She would do great in any of those house I believe. I'm like 99.9% sure I'm going to be in Gryffindor, like my dad.
