Harry Potter's Twin Sister

Chapter 5: Aboard the Hogwarts Express

'Woah!' Era said, looking astonished, 'Let's go find a compartment, Harry!' They pushed their trolley off down the platform to find empty seats. They finally found an empty compartment and put their owls inside first. Era tried to lift her trunk up the steps, but she dropped it painfully on her foot. 'Ouch!' she shrieked.

'Want a hand?' It was one of the red-haired twins.

'Yes, please,' Harry and Era said together.

'Oy, Fred! C'mere and help!'

The twin named Fred helped Era tuck away her trunk.

'Thank you,' said Era to Fred.

'What's that?' said the other twin suddenly, pointing at Harry's scar. Harry had pushed his sweaty hair out of his eyes, revealing his scar.

'Blimey,' said Fred. 'Are you -?'

'He is what?' Era asked.

'Harry Potter,' chorused the twins.

'Oh, him,' said Harry. 'I mean, yes, I am.'

The twins gaped at him, and Harry went red. Era coughed. They turned to her.

'That means you are his twin,' said Fred.

'You are not identical at all,' said the other twin.

Era nodded. 

'What's your name?' said Fred. 

'Era Potter,'

Then a woman called from out of the train, 'Fred? George?'

The twins hopped off the train. Era and Harry sat down on their seats. Era started rummaging in her trunk and pulled out Hogwarts: A History. She kept it beside her and peered outside the window. Then she heard the whistle, and the train began to move. Era felt a great deal of excitement. The door of the compartment slid open and the youngest red - haired boy came in.

'Anyone sitting there?' he pointed at the seat opposite Harry. 'Everywhere else is full.'

'No,' said Harry and the boy sat down.

The red-haired twins came back and introduced themselves as Fred and George Weasley to Era and Harry. 

'Are you really Harry Potter?' Ron, the youngest red-haired boy, blurted out as the twins left.

Harry nodded.

'And have you really got - you know... a scar,'

Harry pulled back his fringe to show the lightning scar.

Ron stared and said to Era, 'So, you are his twin?'

Era nodded.

'Your name is...?' Ron asked awkwardly.

'Era,' replied Era.

'You guys really don't look like twins,'

' Yeah, it happens in rare cases,' said Era.

Era didn't know what else to say and opened her book and started reading. Harry and Ron talked as the train carried them out of London. 

Around half past twelve, a woman slid back their compartment door and said, 'Anything off the trolley, dears?'

Harry got a few of everything and they had a feast. Around one o'clock, Era decided to go look around the train. She headed out of the compartment and decided to walk towards the middle. She looked through the windows of every compartment she passed until she passed a compartment and saw a girl with bushy brown hair, her head buried in a book. And there was only one boy with her in the compartment. Era slid open their compartment door, and the girl looked up.
