Everyone knows the story of James Potter and his gang. What if James had a twin sister who was also part of the gang. Follow Liza Potter's journey from childhood to adulthood. All the characters except mine belong to JK Rowling.
My name is Elizabeth Potter but most people call me Liza. I am the twin sister of the infamous James Potter, my older brother by 5 minutes. James and I have always been inseparable. Thus, we were always the ones wrecking havoc around the house. We earned the nickname: twin devils, by our parents. Today is a special day for the two of us. Today we both turn 11 and can begin proper training at a real magical school. Let's hope that our new school can withstand the pair of us.
The early morning light crept into our gryffindor themed room through the openings in the red and gold curtains. As the light entered the room, I heard my brother groan in response from above me. I immediately jumped out of bed. However, I landed on the floor a bit too hard since James lazily threw a pillow in my direction. The pillow hit my head and made a soft thump on contact. Now, this was war.
I quickly muttered a freezing spell and directed it towards his pillow. James shrieked from the suddenly icy pillow and fell off the top bunk. A loud thud registered throughout the house that would wake everyone.
"Liza I swear I'm going to hex you to oblivion for this!!" James exclaimed as he tried to search for me. He was blind without his glasses which I levitated into my hands. I watched as he stumbled around the room and groped the air to find me. It was hilarious seeing him mistake me for our desks or a night stand.
"Oh but sweet big bro. You have to find me first and we both know that it's pointless without your glasses." I replied with a giant smirk on my face. With that remark, I bolted out the room and down the stairs to hide from a steaming James. As I reached the ground floor, I ran into the kitchen and shoved myself into a cupboard. I used an enlargement hex so that I could comfortable camp out. Thankfully, I managed to hide just as James reached the ground floor.
"Good Morning and Happy Birthday Master James. I'm surprised that you are up this early on a weekend" said a sweet voice.
"Hi Miss. Lola and thank you. I'm only up since my baby sister was too excited for today." replied James.
"Ahh. Of course, she would get you up as well. I assume that your parents will be down soon. I should start breakfast now. I promise that I'll make you something extra special for being up too early" replied lola.
"Thank you Miss. Lola. Now I have an impatient sister to find." replied James. I heard his shuffling footsteps get softer as their conversation ended. I let out a soft snicker since he was always oblivious to my hiding spot, but my victory was short lived.
The cupboard door opened and I saw my mother's face. I looked a lot like my mum who had violet eyes like mine and a petite oval face with strong cheek bones. She had tan skin like me and I would always joke that I stole all the color from James.

"Now I've found you. I assume that you were our alarm clock this morning, little devil #2." my mother teased.
"Ah yes, you have dashed my plans to cause sleep deprivation. Darn you mother." I sarcastically replied as she scooped me from my hiding place and onto the counter
"I see that you've found her love. I thought that I would have to bring some aurors." My father chuckled as he came over to us. My dad had big hazel eyes that could melt anyones heart. James was often called the carbon copy of our dad. However, we both inherited our mother's hair and a roundness to our noses. He gave me a peck on the forehead and gave my mum a tender morning kiss. I loved that my parents were so openly affectionate with each other. At that lovely moment, James rounded the corner and sent the expelliamus spell at my butt. I was sent flying off the counter and landed onto the hard tile.
"Aww. Really Prongs. All I did was ice your pillow and you send me flying off a counter?!" I shouted at him with crocodile tears.
"Haha, wings. I know that you're not hurt. Besides, I could have done worse and you know it. I'm just being easy on you since it's our birthday. " replied James. He quickly pulled me off the floor and into a bear hug.
"Now that you two have made up. Let's enjoy a nice and CALM family breakfast." my mum ordered in her sweet voice.
We all sat at the kitchen table with my dad at the head. My mum was to his right and we were on his left. The remaining two seats: one at the end and one next to my mum, were for our house elves. Miss Lola set the table with a snap of her fingers and a bounty of food appeared. The table was filled with strawberry pancakes, chorizo omlets, eggs benedict, potatoes, toast, sausage and grilled vegetables. I filled my plate with my mum's amazing pancakes, a sausage, half an omlet and some vegetables. I gave the other half of my omlet to james who was already taking one of everything. As James was wolfing down his plate, I stole some of his chocolate pudding. My mum had a plate like mine while my dad's was comparably light with an eggs benedict, toast and sausages. As we dug into our food and pumpkin juice, an owl came into the room and dropped two letters into our laps.
The letters were addressed to james and I in fancy cursive. In the upper right was the hogwarts school crest and both of us shrieked with joy. Our parents had grins on their faces since they knew our hogwarts letters had finally arrived. Both of us tore open the letters and began reading our acceptance letters. Once we were done, we handed them to our parents who read them over.
"Oh, Masters I am so proud of both of you. I know that you will make the family proud." Miss Lola said in between her sniffles. Her daughter Keci joined into the conversation as well.
"Mum, of course, they will do great. They are potters and my siblings. So you two better make us proud" Keci commanded with her giant grey eyes twinkling. Keci was born around the same time as us. Naturally, we grew up around each other and became close like siblings. This meant that she was as troublesome as us and was called little devil #3.
"You two have nothing to worry about. Your father and I will be proud of you no matter what. Hogwarts is an amazing school and they don't take in just anyone" my mother consoled. James and I both sent her an appreciative smile.
"Well, now that you two are starting school. We will need to get your supplies from..." my dad told us in his husky voice.
"Diagon Alley!!!!!!" Both of us screamed at the top of our lungs.
"Well you two just took the words out of my mouth. I know what we're doing today." My dad replied as he smirked.
