Georgia Potter

Chapter One

Harry Potter is not the only Potter, he has a twin sister called Georgia and that is me. Unlike Harry, I have got red hair and hazel eyes. I am the younger of the two of us. I grew up with my aunt and uncle, I was treated more harsher than Harry and it was hard work to make sure no one knew what was going on, Uncle Vernon said he would kill me if anyone knew. Uncle Vernon likes to touch me and Aunt Petunia use to hit me and burn me as she was jealous of my looks, I have got scars that will not fade. On the days leading up to Harry and I's eleventh birthday weird things started to happen. Owls were crowding the house trying to send us a letter, Uncle Vernon had enough and took us somewhere in the middle of the sea. Harry and I were laying on the floor whilst Dudley snored away on the sofa. Harry was drawing a cake on the floor, his alarm went off "Happy Birthday Georgia, blow the candles with me?" We blew it together "Happy Birthday Harry" we cuddled up together then we heard a loud noise coming from outside. Dudley was up in a flash, Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia was down the stairs "Who's there I'm armed I'm warning you!", all of the sudden the door came smashing down off its hinges with a deafening crash. A huge man was standing in the doorway, you couldn't see his face as it was hidden by a long, shaggy mane of hair and a wild tangled beard. He squeezed his way into the little hut, stooping his head to avoid hitting the ceiling he bent down and picked up the door fixing it back into the frame. He turned towards us all, "Couldn't make us a cup o' tea, could yeh? It's not been an easy journey..." He strode over to the sofa where Dudley is sat completely frozen in fear "Budge up, yeh great lump" Dudley decided to get completely off the sofa and run behind Aunt Petunia who in turn was cowardly hiding behind Uncle Vernon. "An' here's Harry and Georgia!" Harry looked towards the giant I didn't know what to do, the giant have a huge smile "Las' time I saw yous, yous was only babies, Harry you look a lot like your dad but yeh've got yer mum's eyes and Georgia you look a lot like your mum but yeh've got your dad's eyes" Uncle Vernon made a funny rasping noise, "I demand you leave at once sir! You are breaking and entering"
"Ah, shut up Dursley, yeh great prune" I couldn't help the laugh that left my lips, the giant reached over the back of the sofa, jerked the gun out of Uncle Vernon's hands and twisted it into a knot as if it was a bit of string before handing it back. Uncle Vernon made a weird squeaking sound the giant turned back to us "Anyway happy birthday you two got summat fer yeh here. I mighta sat on it at some point. But it will taste alright" He pulled out a slightly squashed box from an inside pocket of his black coat, Harry opened it with trembling fingers inside it was a large, sticky chocolate cake with Happy Birthday Harry and Georgia written on with green icing. Harry and I were lost for words we have never had a cake for our birthday Harry looked up at the giant "Who are you?" The giant chuckled "True, I haven't introduced meself, Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds and Hogwarts" He held out an enormous hand and shook Harry's whole arm before doing the same to me "What about that tea then, eh? I would not say no ter summat stronger if yeh've got it mind' No one moved, The giant looks at the empty grate with the shrivelled crisp packets and snorted, he bent over the fireplace we couldn't see what he was doing but when he drew back a second later there was a roaring fire. It filled the little dump but with flickering light and warmth washed over me. The giant sat back down which sagged under his weight, he started to taking all sorts of things out of his pockets; a copper kettle, a squashy pack of sausages, a poker, a teapot, several chipped mugs and a bottle of amber liquid which he took a swig from before making the tea. The hut soon was filled with the smell and sizzling of the sausages, nobody said anything to the giant and nobody moved well apart from Dudley who fidgeted. Uncle Vernon piped up sharply "Don't touch anything he gives you, Dudley" the giant took no offence to the comment "Yer great puddin' of a son don' need fattenin' any more, Dursley don' worry" He passed the sausages to Harry and I, I eagerly ate them no questions asked I have never tasted anything much better than these normally I just get horrible left overs "I'm sorry but I still don't know who you really are" Harry asked. The giant took a gulp of tea and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand "Call me Hagrid, everyone does. An' like I told yeh, I'm keeper of Keys at Hogwarts. Yeh'll know all about Hogwarts o' course" Harry and I look at each other completely confused "Er, no" Hagrid looks at us in shock "Sorry" Harry piped up quickly "Sorry?!?" Hagrid turns quickly towards the Dursleys who shrank back into the shadows "it's them who should be sorry! I knew yeh weren't gettin' yeh letters but I never thought yeh wouldn't know abou' Hogwarts, fer cryin' out loud!" Did yeh never wonder where yeh parents learnt it all" I couldn't help but feel more confused "All what?" This seems to set Hagrid off even more "ALL WHAT?" I couldn't help but cower a bit in fear "Now wait jus' one second!" He leapt to his feet, in his anger it seemed like he filled the whole hut at this point Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon was cowering against the wall "Do you mean ter tell me that they knows nothin' abou', about ANYTHING" I didn't know what to say but Harry looked quite embarrassed, "I know some things! I can you know do maths and stuff" Hagrid simply waved his hand and said "About our world, I mean Your world. My world. Yer parents world" At this point everything was just getting more and more confusing I zoned out not knowing what to think I hear them talking but not really processing what is being said before I hear the word witch this makes me zone back in "We are what?" gasped Harry
"Your a wizard Harry and Georgia is a witch" Hagrid thumped back down onto the sofa "an' a thumpin' good'un, I'd say, once yeh've been trained up a bit. With a mum an' dad like yours, what else would yeh be? An' I reckon it's abou' time yeh read yer letters" Hagrid passed us a yellowish envelope, addressed in emerald green to Ms G Porter, The Floor, Hut-on-the-rock, the sea. I pulled out my letter and started to read:
