The Dursleys were possibly the worst type of people one could ever meet. Not only were they loud, noisy and obnoxious, but they were reactionary, prejudiced, ignorant and prudish.

Not to mention narrow-minded.

Narrow-minded in the sense that they were completely, irrevocably and utterly against any sort of change or innovation.

So, naturally, when they found Harry and Calysta Potter on the doorstep of Number Four Pivot Drive, they threw a big hissy fit. Unfortunately, they had no choice but the keep the twins.


Now, however, nearly ten years had passed since the death of James and Lily Potter, and the house was getting a little too small for the three Dursleys and the two Potter twins.

Harry Potter, was a skinny boy with knobbly knees, having a mass of messy black hair and his mothers shining emerald green eyes. He wore a pair of round glasses, and had a bizarre lightning shaped scar on his forehead.

His twin, Calysta Potter, was completely the opposite. She had a vivid shade of red hair, just like her mother's, and her father's brilliantly hazel eyes, with a hint of gold in them. She was very tiny, much too tiny for her age, but her mind made up for it.

Being brilliantly smart, she was also notoriously bold and very, very mischievous, most likely having earned that trait from her father. She too, had a scar on her forehead, the same lightning shaped, but hers was very light, only slightly visible against her skin.

It was slightly curious how both her and Harry had identical scars, but she couldn't dare ask any questions; for that was the first rule in the Dursley household.


The funny thing was that the Potter twins shared the cupboard under the stairs. In fact, most of the neighbors didn't even know about their existence in the neighborhood, and that is how the Dursleys wished to keep it.

Every day was the same thing. Over, and over again.

The Dursleys' life was undoubtedly the most boring life one could ever lead, and as far as Harry and Calysta Potter were concerned, nothing would ever change any time soon. Especially for them.

How very wrong they were...


It all started when Dudley was due to attend his new boarding school Smeltings, which Vernon Dursley had attended in his day, and according to him, there wasn't a finer school anywhere.

Harry was supposed to be sent off to Stonewall High, the public secondary school down the way, and as for Calysta, she'd be attending an all-girls' boarding school.

Neither of the Potters had ever been separated during childhood, and this was to be a huge change for them, for they wouldn't be seeing each other much any more.
