The Forgotten Twin (Harry Potter/Doctor Who)

Hogwarts Hogwarts Hoggy Warty Hogwarts (1)

I woke up on the morning of the 1st of September at 5am, today was finally the day I was going to Hogwarts! It's my first year, even though I'm 14. I'm short, but just under average for my age. I have bright green eyes with gold flecks. My hair is black, straight and long. When I say long, I mean to my lower back. I got my clothes out for today and got changed, doing my hair afterwards.

'You excited?' Uncle Remus asked me.

'Yeah.' I said. 'I finally get to go.'

'You look nice.' Uncle Remus said.

'Thanks.' I replied. I was wearing a floral dress that was pale blue with pastel pink flowers, a black leather jacket and peach coloured flats, along with the necklace that I've had all my life. My hair was out, I had curled it a little to make it look wavy.

'Are you only taking that?' Uncle Remus questioned, looking at my trunk, which wasn't very big. It was about the third of the usual size of a trunk.

'Yeah.' I said.

'Let's go, we have to be on the train by 11.' Uncle Remus said.

We went and packed my trunk and owl, Lani, in the car, then hopped in and we drove off.

Later, I was sitting on the train, in a compartment by myself, no-one had come to join me yet, not that anyone knew who I was. The train wasn't moving yet, and Uncle Remus was still waiting on the platform. Suddenly, the train began to move and I started waving out the window.

'Have a good year Cat!' Uncle Remus called and I grinned.

'See you at Christmas!' I called back, waving. The train rounded a corner and the platform disappeared.

I pulled my iPod out of my pocket and put my earphones into my ears, turning on some music and looked out the window. I was snapped out of my trance 5 minutes later when the compartment door opened. I paused my music and looked in the direction of the door, seeing there were 4 people standing there.

'Hi.' The girl in front said. She had flaming red long hair.

'Hey.' I replied.

'Mind if we join you?' The girl asked and I shook my head.

'No problem.' I said, moving over to make room. They sat down and we started talking.

'What's your name?' The girl with long blonde curly hair asked.

'I'm Laura. Laura Lupin, but my friends call me Lara. I don't really like my formal name.' I said.

'I'm Luna Lovegood, that's Ginny Weasley,' Luna pointed to the girl with the flaming red hair, 'that's Cho Chang,' she pointed to the girl with straight black hair, 'and that's Neville Longbottom.' She pointed to the boy.

'Nice to meet you all.' I said, smiling.

'So, Lara, what year are you in?' Cho asked.

'Fourth.' I said.

'Cool, you're in my year!' Cho said, excited. 'But how come I've never really seen you around before?'

'Oh, I'm starting this year.' I said. 'But I can already do magic. Magic without a wand to be exact.'

'Really?' The four all said together.

'Yeah.' I replied, grinning.

'Show us, please?' Neville pleaded and I nodded.

'Okay, so no wand right?' I said, showing my hands and they nodded. I closed my eyes and focused on changing my hair colour to blonde. I heard gasps from all around me and when I opened my eyes, my hair was a dirty blonde.

'Cool!' All four exclaimed. I focused again and changed it back to black.

'Hey, I just realized, you look like Harry!' Ginny exclaimed and my heart skipped a beat. I can't tell these guys just yet.

'Who, Harry Potter?' I asked, trying not to stumble over my words.

'Yeah.' Ginny said. 'You have the same eyes, except for the gold in yours and your hair is very similar to Harry's.'

'What's very similar to me?' I heard a voice ask. I looked at the compartment door to see that a girl was standing at the door with two boys. One of the boys was a red-head, and the other had jet black hair just like mine.

'Oh, Lara's hair.' Ginny said, indicating to me.

'Oh, hey.' The guy with the black hair said to me. 'You must be new. I'm Harry.'

'Laura. Laura Lupin.' I introduced myself.

'I'm Hermione Granger.' The girl said.

'I'm Ron Weasley.' The red-head said.

'Are you Professor Lupin's daughter?' Harry asked.

'Do you know my dad?' I replied, surprised.

'Yeah.' Ron said. 'He was our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher last year. And a bloody brilliant one at that.'

'So that's where he was last year.' I said.

'He didn't tell you?' Harry asked, surprised.

'No. Anyway, Ron, you and Ginny are siblings?' I questioned even though I knew the answer.

'Yeah.' Ron said. 'So, can we join you?'

'Sure.' The five of us said.

'Hey, Lara, your eyes have changed colour!' Luna exclaimed and I tensed up. Oopsy daisy.

'What colour are they?' I asked Ginny quietly as she was next to me.

'Gold.' Ginny whispered.

'Crap.' I muttered but Ginny heard me.

'What's wrong?' Ginny asked.

'Nothing, I was just thinking of the colour gold, so...' I said. I closed my eyes, focusing and when I opened them they were back to their normal green and gold.

'Wait, how did you do that?' Hermione asked suddenly. Oh no. She'd seen me do that.

'I can control my magic without a wand.' I told the group nervously.

'Whoa!' Hermione exclaimed after a few seconds of silence. 'Some older and advanced wizards can't even do that!'

'I know. It's a gift.' I smiled.
