Harry Potter's Twin

Chapter 6

The day after I arrived at the leaky cauldron, I was laying on my bed looking at the cealing, when Dumbledore showes up in my room.

"Hello Miss. Potter. How are you doing today?" He asked.

Just fine thanks. Everyone is so nice here, but somehow they all know who I am. Just like when we came through here the first time. It's just a little bit creepy. I stated.

He just chuckled. "You will have to get used to that." He said. "So, I come here bringing you good news and bad. Which would you like to hear first?"

Bad. I said hesitentally. (sp?) Still looking up at the celing.

"Ok, so you know that you have a brother right? The Ministry of Magic has decided that you cannot tell Harry who you are untill later. They have overrulled my decision of letting you two know about eachother." He said in that same calm voice. " You will not be able to tell him untill the Ministry says it's ok. Do you understand that?"

I shot up off the bed.Yes sir. But why. Why can't I tell Harry that we are twins? We havn't seen eachother since we were 1 year old! I think that's long enough to wait don't you? I thought very angrly at Dumbledore.

"It is not my choice Leighlah." He tried to soothe me. "Now for the good news. You will not have to stay here for the rest of the week! A very close friend of mine has offered to take you in untill school starts. Her name is Molly Weasley, and she is very nice. She is married to a man named Arthur Weasley, and they have 7 kids. 6 boys, and 1 girl. Their names are Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred and George, Ronald who likes to be called Ron, and finally Ginny. They have all been informed that you will be staying with them for the week, and are excited to meet you. So, what do you say? Would you like to stay over there, or meet them first? Either is fine."

Could I meet them first? I'm not so good with people. Especially when there are a lot of them. I asked.

"Of course. I figured you would like to, so I brought along a couple of them." Dumbledore told me. "You can come in now Molly!" He yelled at the door.

The door slowly creaked open, and in walked a short red - haired women with a kind smile. Behind her were 4 boys and a girl.

"Hello there! I am Molly Weasley. It is so good to finally meet you!" The women who I guess is Molly said. "These are 5 of my kids. Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny. Percy will be a 5th year, Fred and George are twins and they will be in 3rd year, Ron is the same age as you, so first year, and Ginny is a year younger." She explained.

I waved a small hello to them and gave them a shy smile.

Did you tell them about my little problem? I questioned Dumbledore.

"And what problem would that be Leighlah?" He asked.

You know, like how I can't talk or make any sound? I said, frusturated.

"No, I figured that you would tell her in your own time." Dumbledore said.

Ok. But what if she asks? What do I do then? I thought.

"Well, then you tell her! I must be off now, so I'll leave you 7 to get to know eachother. Take as long as you would like." And with that, Dumbles poped away.

"Well then Leighlah, tell us a bit about yourself. That way we can get to know eachother." Mrs. Weasley said.

I opened my mouth, but no sound came out like always.

Should I tell her? I mean, she will be housing me for the next week. But even so, they might judge me. I don't know...

"Should I go first and have my kids tell you about themselfs first?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

I nodded.

"Ok. So who wants to go first?" She asked the kids.

"I will!" One of the twins said. "Ok, hi! I am Fred weasley! I'm 13 years old, and in Griffindor at hogwarts. I love to prank people, and one day would like to open a joke shop like Zonko's. I was born on April 1st, 1979, a couple minutes before George." He said.

I nodded.

"I'll go next!" The other twin said. "I'm George Weasley, Fred's twin. I am also 13, and was born on April 1st 1979. I am in Griffindor at Hogwarts too, and want to open a joke shop with George. Pranking is what I do best, all the time. I was born after Fred, and am obviously the better looking twin." He joked.

That made me smile. A true smile the world hasn't seen in a long time.

"Percy! You go next!" Molly said.

"Fine. I'm Percy Weasley, the 3rd oldest. I'm in Griffindor with these 2 dorks, and am a 5th year this year. I want to work at the Ministry of Magic ( I sneered at this part), and I am going to be a prefect this year. I love to study and I don't really like to be around people." He said in a monotone voice.

"Ronald, your turn!" Molly said, not pleased with how Percy had acted.

"I am Ronald Weasley, but you can call me Ron! This is going to be my first year at Hogwarts, and I am really excited! I have a pet rat nammed Scabbers, and all he does is sleep. Nothing much about me." He said.

Without even needing her mom to tell her to go, Ginny started to talk.

"Hi there! I'm Ginny Weasley. I am 10 years old, and will be going to Hogwarts next year. I am the youngest Weasley, and the only girl besides mom. I really want to go to Hogwarts with you guys, because it sounds amazing. Maybe when we are at home we can hang out and do some things together?" She questioned.

I nodded my head enthusiasticly. (sp.?)

"Ok, so now that that is out of the way, would you like to tell us about yourself?" Mrs. Weasley said.

I nodded my head, and turned away to grab the notebook on top of the dresser. I started to write.

My name is Leighlah Ann, and I will be going to Hogwarts for my first year this year, and I am 11 years old. I don't like to be around a lot of people at one time. My life has not been the easiest, but I am willing to keep trying, and to not give up. I am also willing to stay with you guys if you will let me.

"Of course we will!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed. "But why arn't you talking? You don't have to tell us if you don't want to, but if we knew, we might be able to help you."

I can't make any noise. I never have been able to.

"Thank you for telling us, but is there any way we could communicate besides writing on a pad of paper?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

I nodded, and focused on getting my thoughts inside her head.

Can you hear me now?
