You were a new student but not just any new student. You were Dianora Potter. Harry Potter’s twin sister. Heads turned as they whispered. “Did you see her?” “She looks just like-” “But how? She’s just showing up now?”

Your eyes searching for a familiar face among the sea of robes and house banners. And then you saw him. "Dianora!” Harry waved from the Gryffindor table, a hopeful smile lighting up his face. “Come here!” You began walking over but People stared like you were a ghost. A Potter twin? Suddenly appearing? You sat quietly beside Harry.

Then you heard a voice“Pottah! Pottah!” It was a boy’s voice you turned your head toward the Slytherin table. That’s when you saw him. He had striking features silver-blond hair with bangs, pale skin and piercing blue eyes, his jawline was sharp, his cheekbones high. A Slytherin. Definitely a Slytherin. He smirked at his friend, but his voice was clear and meant for Harry. “Who’s this girl, Pottah?” Harry’s eyes darkened “None of your business Malfoy, she’s my sister my own sister. You better stay away from her." He said.

“Hooo hoo hoooo!” The Slytherin table burst into laughter and mocking sounds. Draco leaned back dramatically, clearly enjoying the show. “Isn’t she new Pottah? What makes you so sure she’s a Gryffindor?” he said. Ron jumped in already irritated. “She’s Harry’s twin sister obviously she’s just like him! No doubt she’s not a slimy Slytherin like you!." Draco raised his chin slightly, his expression smug and theatrical. “Oh professor’s definitely going to want the hat on her." he said almost like he knows you are not a Gryffindor. Harry turned toward him, jaw clenched. “We’ll see" he said angrily. At that exact moment, the doors creaked open. Professor Snape walked “Sorting hat,” he said in his low unbothered tone “We have one more to sort.” All eyes turned to you.You stood. Snape gently placed the Sorting Hat atop your head . And then.

“SLYTHERIN!”

Gasps filled the room. One of the loudest came from Harry. “What?!” he half shouted. “It’s not possible we’re twins!” Even Snape looked startled. He adjusted his sleeves before answering “Twins or not Mr. Potter it’s a common mistake to believe twins are exact copies. Clearly they are not.” You sat still heart pounding, until you felt a sharp gaze on your skin. His gaze. You looked up and Draco Malfoy was already walking toward you. His smirk was back this time wider. “You heard the professor, Pottah” he said like he was enjoying this way too much. He reached out a hand, eyes not leaving yours. “Let me take my fellow Slytherin,” he said sweetly mockingly his fingers closed gently around yours.

And before you could knew he was already pulling you away from the Gryffindor table. Toward his own.
