Harry Potter's sister ~~~ Fanfiction

"Harry this isn't working." Said Hermione in frustration.

"That's because you're trying to conjure a shield. You need to learn the wand movements first." Said Harry

"But whenever I practise spells I just try the whole process until…"

"Until you get it right. Yeah I know the best way to learn to swim is to jump in the water, but the wand movements are too complicated for you to do that. Now focus less on the incantation and the will and more on the movement."

"Maybe you should take over from Lockhart?" said Neville

"There is no maybe." Said Ron "Just tell McGonagall you're better than that twit and we'll be rid of him."

"Better idea how about you do it. Hermione and I already faced McGonagall in the eye at the opening feast while you cowered off."

"Oh come on Harry, when're you going to let that go?" said Ron

"I wonder if my sister has modified some of that hair tonic for your food." Said Harry

While Harry was thoroughly torturing Ron with threats regarding spiked food, Emma entered the portrait hole after having a thoroughly disturbing talk with Madam Pomfrey about potential growing up issues. She finally understood the reason the matron was doing this was because Emma didn't have a mother figure to talk about these things and while some of it was disturbing she could also see why it was necessary.

The youngest Potter noticed her friend Colin sitting by the fire with an envelope and a photo album book. "Hey Colin, what are you doing?" she went over to him.

"Hey Emma!" he said brightening up when he saw her "I'm trying to decide what photo's to send home and what to put in the Album book."

Emma then noticed the stack of photos. Colin had been taking photographs ever since he arrived at Hogwarts.

Emma sat down and looked through them all. "Well this is one that needs to go in the book." Said Emma picking up the one of him under the Sorting Hat, "Although maybe you should copy it and send one home too."

"Can you make copies?" asked Colin

"I can't but I'm sure it's possible." Said Emma, then she saw Percy coming in "Hey Percy? Can we ask you a question?"

Percy looked irritable but when he saw Emma he smiled "Sure, what can I do for you?"

"Uh well my friend Colin here wants to send home some pictures but he doesn't want to send any of the one he's taken. Is there a way to magically copy photographs?"

"Yes a simple Gemino Charm." Said Percy "It not that hard to learn, in fact I'll teach you both right now." Percy sat down and pulled out a quill and pointed his wand, incanted "Gemino!" and the quill duplicated.

After a few minutes coaching on wand movements and will of the caster, Emma and Colin were able to successfully duplicate enough photos to send home. Included was of course a picture of Colin in the Sorting, Colin and Geoffrey in the Boys Dormitory, Colin and Geoffrey in the Boys Dormitory after attempting to unpack, a group photo of the five Gryffindor First Year Girls, Luna, Geoffrey and Colin in the Great Hall, a picture in Harry's Defence Sessions of Colin and Emma throwing Flipendo Jinx's at the wall and another of Harry's first Quidditch Practice back to school.
