Love and lies- The story of a forbidden love

The Hogwarts express was standing in front of me, red and gleaming, with smoke issuing from its engine. Mine was an unusual case. My name was Noelle Potter. I used to go to Durmstrang but recently had gotten a letter from a man named Dumbledore, claiming that the people I thought to be my parents really were not and that my twin brother was still alive- someone called Harry Potter. He had included a whole story about Lord Voldemort, my parents death, and my supposed relations, the Dursleys. He told me I had been sent away for safety purposes and now that I was in my fifth year, I was old enough to return. The news fillied my chest with an aching- i had a brother. He had only just recently found out about me too and I was most excited yet nervous to meet him.
I was standing at the platform waiting for a bunch of people with ginger hair to walk by, as informed by Dumbledore- the school's headmaster, and I was safest in his care, now that Voldemort was back.
I had waist length wavy, glossy, black hair. I had a heart shaped pale face, with gray eyes. I was rather tall and slender features.
As I glanced around I saw a crowd of people with ginger hair walking toward me. There was a rather plump woman, twins, a tall ginger boy and girl, and a boy with black, untidy hair, round glasses, and green eyes. At that moment, without saying anything, I just knew it was Harry, and my heart contracted. I was seeing an actual family member for the first time. His eyes met mine and time froze for a second. Then he walked up and said awkwardly, "Um, hello. Are you Noelle by any chance?"
"Potter. Noelle Potter. I presume you are Harry."
He nodded.
After that, we stood in awkward silence for a minute until he said,
"So um these are the Weasleys. They have been like a second family."
I smiled at them and did the introductions.
I noticed Fred, George, and Ron were staring at me with their mouth open.
Beauty always helps.
I said to Harry, "It is so great to have family after living under an illusion for so many years. I'm happy to have met you."
Harry said



" Same here. I'm happy to realise I have a family, however small, left."
At that point the train whistle blew, and Ron helped me put my luggage onto the train. He invited me to sit in their compartment and I agreed. I could hear whispers all around and I knew everyone was looking at me.
As we slid into the compartment, a girl with bushy hair joined us and started talking rapid fire, "Hi I'm HermioneoneofHarry'sbestfriendsyouhavenoideahowexcitediwastoseeyouyoulooklovelyfinallyharryisntaloneanymore." and she paused for breath.
"Nice to meet you too."
After that we all settled down and started chatting like we had known each other forever, bout stuff like quidditch, my family, durmstrang, hogwarts, what house I might get sorted into, and chocolate frogs.
After a while, a boy with white blonde hair and a rather pointy face opened the door of the compartment. Ron immediately said,
"What do you want Malfoy?"
Malfoy said,
"As I'm prefect, it's my duty to bully newcomers an....." he stopped midspeech.
I noticed he was staring at me, looking slightly surprised. I blushed and looked down, and Harry was staring at me like I had grown warts all over my face.
Then Malfoy said in a charming voice,
"Well I never expected the new girl to be so lovely."
Ron made a gagging sound which Malfoy ignored.
"Would you like me to give you a tour and ditch these losers?"
"I would love to but this loser is my brother and these are my friends."





















This is how long Malfoy was quiet.
"Very well. I, I'm....sorry. And you can call me Draco." and he retreated.
Ron said, "Knowing you keeps getting better and better. This is the first time someone bowed over Malfoy." he grinned.
I smiled and easy conversation went on but the whole ride I was thinking of Draco until the train halted and we had arrived.
I was ready for my first look at Hogwarts.
