Wormtail's twin

1- "You're not a squib

8 o'clock in the evening, and Aline woke up. Today was the day, the great day. Today, July 18, she was finally 11 years old.

Or that was what any other witch would think in her case. Any witch else would excite, jump, cry, waiting to the Hogwarts letter to appear on the window. But for Aline, this day would mark her life.

For the day, she had never brought any sign of magic. Everybody (including her family) thought she was a squib. Also she thought the same.. But, in the bottom of her heart, she had hope, praying with all his soul for them to be wrong.

She stood up and looked around. Peter, her brother, was sleeping, snoring as a walrus. The snores, his appearance... he do looked like a walrus

Aline turned to the mirror. Her blue hair was a messy disaster. She had always loved her hair, blue as the ocean, literally, with the different tones and gradients, from marine blue to green.

In the muggle school, she always had problems with the headmasters. They didn't wanted her to enter because they didn't admitted "extravagant" colours of hair. Aline needed a lot of hours and photos to assure that, for strange that it seemed, that was her natural colour. She was born with that strange hair.

She passed her hands through her hair, and decided to wake up her brother. Jumping on his bed.

"HEY PETER, wake up you little slug!!! It's today, can you believe it?!?!" she screamed very excited.

"Mmmmfff, to more hours mom..." he whispered sleepy

"Well, so I'm supposed to eat all the cookies??"

He woke up as if his butt was on fire

"I'M AWAKE!! COOKIES?!?! Where??"

Aline exploded in laugh and took his hand

"Hahaha...ha.. R-right, Put up your fat butt and let's go to have breakfast" she said stopping the laughs.

Peter sniffed loudly

"Soooo, there's no cookies??" he asked sadly. Aline thought he looked very adorable.

"Let's go Pettie, the cookies are waiting for us"

***

"The cookies are delicious mommy" sighed Peter

"Pet, stop staring at them like that! You look like a cookie violator.." said Aline funnily

She noticed her mom looked very worried

"What happens mommy??"

"N-Nothing sweetie" she said, but then started to murmur worried "It's late... They aren't here yet..."

So Aline remembered. Today was coming her Hogwarts letter, well, if there was a Hogwarts letter for her

They finished the breakfast in silence, well, without counting Peter's cry when there were no more cookies

Minutes passed, making hours and they didn't move or talk

But a "tic tic tic" interrupted the silence. Aline moved her head as an old muggle movie (Exorcist, she remembered its name) to the window.

The was an owl pecking the window

A huge happiness filled Aline's heart as she ran to the window and let the owl enter the house. The owl flew and alighted on the table.

Peter ran to open the letter

"It's mine, mommy, It's mine...!!!" he shouted

The happiness in her hearts went completely away when she noticed there was only one owl

Minutes passed and no other owl came. Was official, she was a squib

"Darlin'... I..."

Aline didn't wanted to hear more. With tears in her eyes, she ran to her room, the one that she shared with Peter. There, she cried for what seem to be hours. But then, she heard someone hitting the door.

She stared at the door

"Please Peter, leave me alone.." she said

The sound continued, and a few minutes later she realized that the sound wasn't coming from the door. It was coming from the window

She immediately opened it, and a beautiful brown owl entered flying and positioned under Peter's bed. She got excited, but the she realized it could be a letter saying she hadn't been accepted

Anxiety filled her body, but she didn't want to read it

So she took the letter and ran down the stairs

"MOM!!!" she shouted entering to the kitchen

"What happens, sweetie?" her mom asked with inflamed eyes, clear sign of crying.

"Please read this, I don't want to do it" she said giving her the letter

Her mother took the letter with shaky hands and opened it. Aline was just waiting the reaction

Tears appeared on her mother's eyes, and she realized it. She was not going to Hogwarts. Sadness filled her body, and she was going to start crying when... her mother hugged her

"Darlin', my beautiful daughter... I'm so proud..."

"Mom, w-what happened?" Aline asked nervous

Her mother just smiled with teary eyes

"You're not a squib"
