-Author's Note-

Hello. This is the rewritten version of Chapter 1 of Potter's Secret Sister. I am making Isabella completely different from before and I have written the whole Chapter again in third person as I personally think this is better than before. Please comment and vote on the rewritten verison of Chapter 1. I am going to be doing the other chapters as well when I have the time. At the moment this story is my priority so the others will be rewritten and uploaded soon. All character belong to JK Rowling expect Isabella Potter, Joe and Sue Wolf. Enjoy :)

-End of Author's Note-

Isabella Potter was an orphan and ever since she could remember she had been different. She never fitted in and was only interested in her studies. Isabella had one friend his name was Joe, an older boy, the son's cook. Last year he went away to a boarding school called Hogwarts. Joe claimed they taught magic and one day she would go there and she would be able to meet her twin brother, Harry Potter. Apparently he was famous. Isabella believed the stories Joe told but she didn't think she was a witch, she didn't even remember doing magic at any point. 

Isabella knew that it was true, she was a witch, even though she didn't remember doing magic but weird things used to happen.  The only belonging she had been given while she was at the orphanage was a letter explaining the events of the past, and telling her who she really was. The letter read:

Isabella Lily Potter I am writing this letter to inform you that when you turn 11 years old you will get a letter asking you to Hogwarts. Unfortunately your parents sacrificed themselves so you and your brother could live. Your brother is living with your Aunt and Uncle for his protection as your parents were killed by a dark wizard. Joe and his mother Sue, know of the wizarding world and will explain everything to you when you are old enough. I hope you grow up to be a wise, clever young girl.

Albus Dumbledore Headmaster of Hogwarts.

The letter was brief and barely explained anything but luckily Joe had. Today was the 31st July 1991. Isabella had turned 11 years old and had gotten her letter through the post. She sat with Joe in the kitchen and carefully broke the seal. Opening the letter it read:

Dear Miss. Potter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

 Joe gave me some parchment and a quill and said "Go on write your reply. Saying you accept. Then we can go to Diagon Alley and get all of your supplies, including your wand." He grinned. Isabella dipped the quill in the ink and wrote a replying informing Professor McGonagall she was going to go to Hogwarts.

Both of them sat on the kitchen floor all day while Joe explained adventures and tales of his first year at Hogwarts.

"There are four houses, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff. Gryffindor is the house for the brave, Ravenclaw for the smart and logically people, Slytherin the cunning and the sly while Hufflepuff is the kind and loyal. As you already know I am in Ravenclaw, top of my year." He spoke, grinning broadly as he said the last part.

Isabella replied "I hope I am in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw as they sound the best by far." 

Every single day of the summer the two of them would sit in the kitchen and talk about Hogwarts. Isabella would read all of Joe's books. Until it was near the end of August when Sue took both of them to gather there supplies for the new year at Hogwarts.
