'Pop.'


"Never have I ever considered apparition to be this difficult to recover from." Professor Dumbledore apparated me to the train station an hour early. I almost collided with a wall upon arrival. My head was spinning, and I felt a strong urge to vomit.


After a few moments, I returned to my normal state. I settled into a random compartment I had chosen. A few weeks ago, I had apparently finished reading all my school books for the entire year, so I ended up reading advanced potions and astronomy books for half an hour.


My head snapped up when I heard voices. I looked out the window, secretly hoping to see my brother soon. The train station started to fill with people, the sound of chatter and compartment doors opening.


My compartment door opened, and the familiar white-blond boy entered, taking a seat beside me. A dark-skinned boy sat by the window opposite me.


"Fancy seeing you here," I said with a neutral expression, facing the blond boy. "Y/n, meet my friend Blaze," Draco introduced us. Blaze took my wrist in his hand and placed a kiss on my knuckles.


"Y/n Lily Cullen-Potter, a pleasure," I replied, pulling my hand back. His facial expression changed completely from a calm, blank gaze to a look of shock and curiosity. Draco sat, crossing his legs, with a smirk growing on his face.


"So..." Draco began, turning to face me. "You left me in the shop without answering my question. I'm still waiting." A smirk played on his face as he glanced at his friend, who still seemed shocked.


"I think a straightforward answer would be easier, in my opinion. Currently, I live with my godparents, as you know that my biological parents were killed. Carlisle and Esme are my godparents. Alice, Emmett, Edward, Rosalie, and Jasper are like my siblings," I replied as the train started moving.


"Excuse me, I'll be back in a moment. I need to check something." I walked out of the compartment, leaving my belongings behind. Amelinda remained hidden under my robes, resting on my shoulders. I walked down the compartments, searching for a specific person.


"--I'm Hermione Granger, by the way. Who are you?" I overheard a girl asking. As I walked near their cabin at a slow pace, my ears perked up. "I'm Ron Weasley."

"Harry Potter," came the response. At that moment, I froze in place.

I took a step back, knocking twice to gain their attention. The three of them turned towards me. "I apologize for interrupting your conversation. I accidentally overheard the name of my brother, whom I haven't seen in years. Could you please repeat the names?" I asked, my expression pleading but still calm.


"Um... yeah, sure... I'm Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter." I locked eyes with my brother, who had been separated from me when we were just children. A genuine smile graced my face.


"Y/n... Lily Cullen-Potter, finally I have a chance to meet you, my brother." Silence filled the compartment. All three of them were shocked, their mouths hanging open. Harry was the first to react. "Yo- you're my sister?" I simply hugged him in response.


He didn't expect it at first, hesitating for a moment before hugging me back. A sob escaped my mouth, my eyes becoming glassy with tears. I pulled back, tears streaming down my face, but still smiling.


I turned to Ron. "Ron, you'll catch flies," I said, and we started chuckling. "Harry, how did you survive with our aunt and uncle? I was scared that I wouldn't be able to see you anymore," I said, laughing through my tears.


"Wait... you were separated?!" Hermione exclaimed. "Ugh... yeah, I'm living with my godparents now, and he's with our aunt and uncle," I answered, addressing Hermione's question.


"I didn't know I had a sister until a wizard stormed in and informed me about my parents and my twin," Harry said, looking down.


"I still remember and I still have nightmares about that night. Our mom lying on the floor, him disappearing, Harry crying, and me sobbing... sorry, didn't mean to change the mood," I said, my voice trembling as tears filled my eyes.


Harry stood up and gave me a brother hug. "I'm happy to know that I have someone to call family," he whispered. "You should meet my godparents! They are the best. Emmett can be annoying, I won't disagree, but they'll be more than happy to meet you!" I exclaimed. "Maybe if I 'accidentally' get kicked out of my uncle's house, I'll have a chance to see them."


Harry stood up and gave me a brotherly hug. "I'm happy to know that I have someone to call family," he whispered. "You should meet my godparents! They are the best. Emmett can be annoying, I won't disagree, but they'll be more than happy to meet you!" I exclaimed. "Maybe if I 'accidentally' get kicked out of my uncle's house, I'll have a chance to see them."

He chuckled to himself as I playfully hit his hand. "I hope you 'accidentally' don't turn any of the family members into pigs," I teased. Ron joined in our laughter, while Harry froze for a moment before awkwardly continuing to laugh. The thought of being able to introduce Harry to my loving and supportive godparents brought warmth to my heart. It was a glimmer of hope in the midst of our challenging circumstances.

As the train continued its journey to Hogwarts, we chatted excitedly about our expectations for the school, the different classes we were looking forward to, and the adventures we hoped to have. It felt like the beginning of a new chapter in our lives, and together, we were ready to face whatever awaited us at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Harry, I need to inform you about something before I leave," I said, sighing and looking down.


"A few weeks ago, I decided to use my time wisely at school, and I mean not just studying. I made a plan, and I need a decent amount of information to succeed. The only way for me to obtain this information is by becoming one of the Slytherins and gaining their trust. This 'mission,' should I call it, can save people's lives. I've thought it all through, and I've read about 21 books this month. I just want you to know that I'll be with them not because I don't care about you, but because I want to save you."


"But... the Dark Lord himself was in that house. What information do you need that only they have?" Ron asked, sounding suspicious.


"That's the point. I'll tell you after I confirm my suspicions about that matter. I hope we can still be friends," I replied, looking down and feeling the weight of my decision.


"I hope you'll stay safe. Keep an eye on them. I really hope your 'mission' will work," Harry said, concern evident in his voice.


"Thank you. I was afraid that you wouldn't consider me your sister after I become one of them," I said, hugging him tightly. "I need to go before they start looking for me," I added, trying to lighten the mood with a laugh.


"Who are 'they'?" Ron asked, confused.


"My first targets: Malfoy and Zabini," I said with a smirk, opening the compartment door. "You two had better change, you know. I expect we'll be there soon." With that, I closed the door and made my way back to my compartment, preparing myself for the challenges that lay ahead.
