Forests aren't the only places in which children can become lost...

Handsome can taste luck on his tongue. His sister, Egret, can levitate. But these powers  don't spare them from the difficult life they live in the middle of an urban slum known as the Maze. When the people who should care for them most abandon the siblings to a heartless man, they find themselves on the run through twisting streets that seem to have no end. 

Until one road does end... at a house that promises both safety... and something far more sinister.

Standing Alone by beedreamer36

My first ever fanfiction! I wrote years ago but was too insecure to let anyone else see it. **Disclaimer** I do not own any of the characters, events, plotlines etc.. They belong to JK Rowling. My story line is completely based of the movies and partly my own imagination, just in the point of view of my character. I wrote this for just for myself as a way to cope with trauma. This is an alternate version of Harry Potter. What if Harry had a twin sister. What would happen?
