I awoke to someone shaking me. "Lira! Lira get up! Your letter is here!" Lila said as she woke me up. I groaned but got up.

Lila was older than me by one year. We are identical. When I got down there was a letter on the table that had a Hogwarts seel. I opened it and it said that I had been exepted into the school.

Suddenly, the door flew down and in came about 12 Death Eaters. "What do you want?!" My dad yelled. I grabbed Lucas and Luca, my baby brother and baby sister, and went over to Lila. I gave Luca to Lila and held onto Lucas tightly. Our parents are called Lola and Luke. They like 'L' names for some odd reason. A Death Eater then pointed at me, Lucas, Lola and Lila. "What do you want with them?!"

"Easy. Its not us who want them." One of the Death Eaters said "the Dark Lord wants them. Not us. We don't want to do this, trust us. We have no choice."

"Lira. What do I do? Lola's crying." Lila whispered to me. I managed to get Lucas to sleep and gave him to Lila then I took Lola and held her close.

I may have lied about two of my siblings. I have two other older siblings. Liam and Louis. Louis is a Death Eater and Liam is a Ministry worker. Suddenly, Liam burst in and ran over to us. "Lira!" He called.

"Liam!" I called back. Me and Liam were really close after an accidnet happened in my past. Somehow me, Liam, Louis and Lila were witches and wizards but the others aren't. We are muggleborns. The type of people that some pureblooded families despised.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"I'm fine. I got accepted into Hogwarts." I told him. He hugged me and I heard him mumble "well done". We stayed like that until a curse went over my head. "Louis?" I asked knowing the colour of that magic wand.

"Come here. Leave that Muggle there." He ordered. I did as he told since he was the cause of the accident almost 5 years ago. Louis was practicing magic one day and the spell went terribly wrong and hit me in the head and I went into a magical coma. We became distant after that. But me and Liam became closer since he explained everything to me and helped me when I learnt about magic. "Turn around to face Louis." Again I did as I was told.

"Tell him that you wish he was dead and you'd rather be killed than to see him in front of you." He whispered in my ear. I gulped but did as I was told.

"Liam!" I snarled, "I wish you were dead! I'd rather be killed than see you in front of me!"

"W-what?" He asked. Then realization doomed on him. "LOUIS!" He snarled and ran at him.

"LIAM! STOP!" I cried out and fell to my knees.

Liam turned to me "WHY SHOULD I?! YOU HATE ME! NO WONDER YOU BECAME DISTANT YOU JUST WANTED TO GET CLOSE TO ME SO YOU COULD BREAK ME DOWN!" He yelled at me.

"N-n-no its not l-l-like that." I sobbed.

"Liam. I made her say those things. I didn't expect her or you to react like this." Louis told him.

"DONT YOU DARE TRY AND COVER UP FOR HER, LOUIS!" Liam snarled/yelled at Louis.

"He's t-t-telling the t-tr-truth." I sobbed again.

"STOP LYING TO ME, YOU FILTHY LITTLE MUDBLOOD!" Liam shouted at me. I didn't expect it and at the sight of my face he tried to take it back. "Lira, I-I-I didn't m-m-mean it. I-I-I'm so-"

"Save it!" I snapped and went to my room. As I entered I saw an owl that was black with a little white love-heart on the wing. I realized that it was one of my friends. "Hey, Mike." I said to the owl and took the letter gently from the leg.

I opened it and it read:

Dear Lira,

Can't wait to see you at Hogwarts. It will be amazing to see you. Hopefully we get into Gryffindor. Like my dad. See ya around, Lira.

Love from
James Potter

I smiled to myself as I read the letter. I had met James Potter when I was walking around the park near his house.

AT PLATFORM 9 3/4

As I got onto the Hogwarts Express, someone with blackish hair and grey eyes bumped into me. "Watch it." He yelled and ran off. I found an empty compartment that soon filled with four boys and a girl.

"Hi I'm James Potter. Who are you guys?" He asked.

"Sirius Black." A boy with blackish hair replied.

"Remus Lupin." A boy with sandy blonde hair also replied.

"Peter Pettigrew." A boy with a high pitched voice answered.

"Lilly Evans." The girl answered.

"And you, mysterious girl?" James asked.

"Lira." I replied.

"Lira...?" Sirius asked.

"Lira Hemsworth." I answered.

"L-Lira H-H-Hemsworth?" Sirius asked.

"Yes." I said "why?"

"S-sorry for bumping into you earlier." He appologised.

"Its fine." I told him.

All of a sudden, Lila appeared at our compartment door. "Something wrong, Girl?" I asked menacingly.

"Actually there is, Lira. I wanted to tell you that Liam wanted me to tell you that he's sorry. He keeps beating himself up over it." She told me. "Also, dont call me 'Girl'. You know my name." She added.

"If he didn't mean it, then he wouldn't have said it would he?" I aksed her.

"He didnt mean to call you it! But I think he was right calling you it! Stuff it, MUDBLOOD!" She yelled and ran off.

I sat down next to the window, leaned against it and started to cry.  I felt a pair of arms around me and saw that it was Remus. I leaned against him and fell asleep.

"Lira. Lira, come on wake up. We're going to be at Hogwarts in an hour or so." I heard Remus say gently as I started to wake up. As I woke up I saw that James, Sirius and Peter were alseep. Remus looked to be half asleep and wanting to sleep.

"Remus, go on and sleep we'll wake up. Don't worry." I told him. He nodded and rested his head ontop of mine and slowly fell alseep.

It was about two hours later that we got to Hogwarts. "Remus. We're at Hogwarts." I told him. He woke up and helped me to wake the others.

Once we got off, we headed towards the boats and went towards the castle.
