"Harry Potter, the boy who survived. " But he's not nearly as unique as everyone thinks. I'm Elis, his twin sister, a little older than him. But after the intervention of Lord Vold... we know who, my brother was sent to live with Aunt and Uncle Dursley. But instead, I went to the most feared teacher at Hogwarts, Severus Snape. I didn't even know until I was 12 that he wasn't my biological father raising me, and I love him very much. And even though he told me, nothing's gonna change that.

The day of departure to Hogwarts was approaching. And so was my 15th birthday.

My father took me to the nine-three quaretr platform. I got into an open compartment, thinking I'd have peace of mind. But the opposite was true. A curly-haired girl came into the compartment followed by a redhead and a black-haired man.

"Hi, can we sit down, it's full everywhere" the brown-haired girl said.

"Sure, come on in" I sounded too sweet, but it wasn't like that at all.

The three of them sat down across from me. I looked over at the brunette. He had messy black hair, round glasses, and a scar on his forehead. I could tell he was Harry Potter. He looked different from the pictures in the album I got from my dad.

"What's your name, anyway?" the brown-haired girl asked.

"Elis Snape," I replied curtly.

"Like Professor Snape?" The redhead asked this time.

"Yes that's my father. But I still don't know your names. "

"Sorry, I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley and this is Harry Potter." The brown haired girl caught the word and pointed at the boy next to her.

An old woman walked past our compartment with a trolley full of various goodies.

"Would you like something, my dears?" She said.

"No, thank you I have mine." Ron said. Hermione just nodded while Harry said we'll take everything.

I  didn't pay them attention, I was just watching the road. We were almost at the school, I started to change into my robes.

"What are you doing?" Ron asked.

"Changing into my robes we'll be there soon." I replied.

They didn't say anything in response and changed as well. After about ten minutes we arrived. We got off the train and Hagrid was waiting for us on the platform.

"Hi Hagrid." I greeted politely.

"Good to see you Elis." He greeted me back.

Hagrid led us to the boats that would take us across the lake to the fairy tale castle.

At the castle, just outside the entrance to the large dining room, Hagrid stopped us and told us to wait a moment. Professor McGonagal came to see us.

"Now the wise hat will place you in your dormitories, which are called Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and Slytherin." she left us standing there again.

After a while the big door opened and we entered. On the tables were place settings in the colours of the dormitories. In front was another long table where the professors sat. I looked for my father and smiled at him, he smiled back. In front of the professors' table was a desk with Professor McGonagal standing at it, holding a hat and a paper with all the freshmen's names on it.

I wasn't aware of my surroundings until the moment the professor said Hermione's name.

Hermione sat down on a chair and the professor placed the hat on her head.

"You're a smart girl and you have courage, that's why I choose Gryffindor!" the hat shouted. Ron was next.

"Another Weasley, Gryffindor!" Harry went next.

"Interesting, what to do with you, you've got it all lined up in your head and you've got talent too, where to put you." Harry said "Not, Slytherin. Not, Slytherin." "Not, Slytherin, are you sure? Well, then, Gryffindor."

Now it was my turn. The professor put the hat on my head and it came off, "You're a smart girl, you're confident, You go all out, but if you don't want to do something, you just won't do it. Well, the way I see it, I'm gonna put you in Slytherin." I went to the Slytherin table. Hermione was looking at me so I smiled at her, she did the same. I walked over to the table and sat down next to a blond guy.

"Hi I'm Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Elis Snape."

"Nice to meet you, too."

We introduced ourselves to each other and a lavish dinner lay before us. After dinner the Slytherin prefect took us to our rooms. Slytherin was in the basement, we entered the common room and the prefect told us that the girls dormitories were up the stairs and to the right and the boys dormitories were the same but to the left. I went to the rooms and found everything was already upstairs. We each had our own room. It was all furnished in green and the wardrobe, the bed with the green canopy, the desk and even the box in front of the bed were ebony wood. I liked it here very much. I unpacked my things in the closet so they wouldn't be crumpled out of the suitcase.

As soon as I was done, I decided to go see my father. I got to the door that said: Severus Snape (Headmaster of the Slytherin house and Potions teacher). I knocked, and after being prompted, I entered.

"Hi, Dad."

"Elis I'm glad you came. So you see I told you not to worry about being in Slytherin. You're a really smart girl so don't worry and give the studio all you can. And make some friends, too."

"And Dad, how do I tell Harry I'm his sister?"

"Don't tell him yet, it's time we explain."

"Okay, Dad."

"Then get some sleep, tomorrow you'll be studying in the morning and you'll have a schedule on your desk."

"Good night, Dad."

I left my father's office and bumped into someone in the hallway.

"Sorry I didn't notice you." I sounded apologetic.

"It's okay" another redhead smiled at me.

"I guess you're a Weasley too huh?" obviously he was a little taken aback by my question but so what am I supposed to do.

"Oh yeah, why do you ask? I'm Fred Weasley."

"Well I was talking to Ron today and you two look pretty similar. Otherwise I'm Elis Snap."

"Nice to meet you Elis."

"Same here, Fred."

"You've been to see your father now, I guess?"

"Yes and I should be going to my room so if you'll excuse me I'd like to go. Good night Fred, I hope to see you again."

"Okay, I'll look forward to it."

I walked silently across the common room. Finally she got to her room where I got my clothes ready for the day ahead, showered and was about to go to bed when at that moment there was a knock on her door.

"Come in." I said sleepily. No one came in so I got up and walked to the door there was no one in the hallway. I was beginning to think I was crazy, but when I got back to bed and finally fell asleep something started licking my face.
