Harry was due to start his fifth year, hell already breaking loose. Harry had been attacked by Dementors and forced to use magic in order to protect him and his cousin, resulting in him being expelled from Hogwarts. Anastasia had gone on another mission and was due to return shortly after around two years of being gone, meanwhile Allison and a few overs from the order were sent to collect Harry who was now allowed back in Hogwarts.

"Hey kiddo," Allison smiled,

"Hiya, Al"

"Been told to collect you early this year," She wondered over to the others, "Moody, Tonk's ready?"

"Hey Harry" The purple haired girl smiled,

"Hiya Tonks" The Order and Harry followed Mad-Eye towards a street, empty and blacker than the dark mark, Mad-Eye stood in front of the gang facing the tersest house, he tapped his stick on the cracked concert three times, the houses began to separate revealing a small alley leading to number 12, Harry looked around astonished with the sight, he noticed Tonk's with a ducks beak and backed up a slightly.

"Don't worry, it's just Tonk's using her gift." Allison giggled. They all wandered into the house, both Sirius' and Harry's face lit up brighter than neon lights. Smirking as Harry gave him a hug his attention was quickly turned Allison,

"Harry, Ron and Hermione are right upstairs, why don't you go on up and see them" Sirius smiled.

"What's the matter?" Allison asked looking at him with a serious expression.

"We've got some news to tell you" Sirius said through a heavy breath

"What's the problem with that?" She raised an eyebrow

"Just come, he needs us all" He faded into the far end of the house, Allison trailing behind him frowning in confusion.

"Allison... Take a seat" Dumbledore gestured, Allison walked over to the empty seat in the room, her heart pounding in her chest and the sound of bloody rustling in her ears as many dark, gloomy thoughts crossed her mind.

"You're aware that your sister has been away for the past two years" He began.

"Yes..." The words crawled hesitantly out of her mouth, so desperate to know but dreading the response. Silence entered the room causing everyone to shift in their seats. No one dared make eye contact with anything but the floor. McGonagall fiddled with her fingers to distract her mind from the unwanted moment.

"I don't wish to... be the barer of bad news..." He paused and took a deep breathe in before continuing. "She won't be coming home." Confusion slapped her in the face as the words rolled off his tongue.

"What do you mean?" She regrettably asked.

"Your sister died during a raid... two days ago" Mad eye explained.

"Have you known the whole time?" Allison whispered.

"I'm afraid so" Dumbledore bowed his head in shame.

"Why wasn't I told?" She said through gritted teeth.

"Your sister has left you a letter" Mad eye handed her a letter, fancy swirls reading 'Allison Teddison Lastella'.

Allison took the letter and barely brought herself to open it.

'To my dearest twin, Teddy.

If you are reading this it means I am dead. I know this isn't exactly the news you wish to receive, especially during these dark times, and I know you've had it rough, so I truly am sorry I had to add to the list... I also know that it took all you had to open this letter, so I just want to say a few things. I'm sorry I was never there after the death of your best friend, I'm sorry I was never the sister you ought me to be. I wish there was a way to make amends. You may hate me right now, so I know I am currently asking a lot of you but please find it in your heart to look past the pain I've caused and please take care of my baby. She is only 15 months old... Her name is Samantha Allison Lastella after you... I'm sorry I was never there like I should have been.
