Iris finished cleaning up when a knock came to the door. When she opened the door she was engulfed by the twins in a hug. "*laughs * I missed you guys too." She said happy to see her favorite goofballs.
"Hello Iris dear how are you?" Molly asked warmly though she has only met her a few times over the summer. "Well we need to get going before the train leaves without you." She said telling the boys to help with my trunks. The train station was huge on the muggle side. When we arrived at the destination I saw him. She couldn't mistake him for anyone else because he was her baby brother Harry Potter.
Harry looked at Iris with a weird look like he was trying to place her face with a name. Fred and George ran threw the portal followed by Iris. When people saw Iris and the twins they came up saying hello and how was the summer. Iris liked having people talk to her growing up was a bit to lonely.
When they got on the train Iris pulled out her wand and spelled her business cards to everyone on the train.

Fred and George joked about my advertising methods. "So you went with Wayward Pines as the name?" Fred asked looking at the card. "Yeah its better than what your brother came up with." I laughed George knowing I was just poking fun punched my arm lightly. "I actually need you two for a demo." I said going in my napsack pulling out the oak amber bottle.
"You hear that Gred she wants to slap something smelly on us." George joked "Your right Forge how do we know its not a prank." Fred laughed the three of us knowing full well that is not possible. I hold the bottle to them and they smell it. They look at eachother than at me. "Its my latest body wash for men." I said excited to see what they think.
"It smells nice but aren't you worried about it being a distraction?" I shook my head. "No because I have a sent for ladies too. It's Birch water with lavender. I am whering it now." The got close sniffing me. It felt odd having them this close. It never bothered me before why is it now. "It's smells lovely on you." George said looking a bit shy. "It suits you nice warm spring sent."
Fred said the same way his brother did. What is going on with them its just a body wash. "So with you do the demo with me?" I asked wait now I'm being shy the hell. What the bloody hell is going on?! "You know we will."
They were be so off why stop it. "Oh well I will see you tomorrow in the seventh floor bathroom then." I said wanting to end the awkwardness. "So you going to sign up for quittage?" I asked even though I knew the answer. "Of course we are." They said in unison
making me giggle.
"Your dad still mad about you being a Gryffindor?" Fred asked the twins watch me fro a few minutes.
"He never was mad just disappointed. The ones that are mad about me being a Gryffindor are the Malfoys. " I said before looking out the window. "Can hardly believe it's our third year." I whispered in astonishment not knowing how this year would pan out.

I was sitting in the train car with Ron that girl at the station. She feels so familiar like I know her or at least should know her. "Ron who is that girl your brother's are around?"
I asked and he looked at me. "Oh you mean the girl Fred and George fancy? Her name is Iris Elizabeth Snape. She is the daughter of the potions master not much else I can tell you sorry."
He said before going back to stuffing his face. "It's just I feel like I know her from somewhere." I said and he shrugs. "Maybe you seen her when she was walking around in the muggle world. She does that sometimes to gather ingredients for her inventory."
He said making me feel crazy but I can't help but feel connected to her some how. We got off the train and stood at the entrance to the grate hall. This is where I met the snake known as Malfoy. We were ushered in and I noticed Malfoy looking at Iris who sat between the twins. He blushes when she waves at him. It was a freshly gesture but made him embarrassed and me upset. Why am I upset over it I don't know her.
I was sortted into Gryffindor because I asked. The Gryffindor table chanted we got Potter. Iris had a look of pride about something. Is it because she is happy I am a Gryffindor? I need to find out but that can wait for another time.

Iris was asked for by Dumbledore. When she arrived her father had an apologizing look on his face. Dumbledore was the first to speak. "I'm sorry its so late Iris. I promise it won't take to long please sit." He said having the young lady sit by her father.
"Iris I know you are excited seeing your brother. I also know the cruelty of what I'm about to ask. Iris I need you not to reveal who you are to him. For now its better that he doesn't know."
When he said that the girl wanted to cry. "Has he not suffered enough?! You really want to ask me not to tell my own brother he has a sister?! He feels no one loves him! He feels alone Dumbledore! Why put him threw more emotional pain?!" She was about to say more but her father stopped her.
"Iris sweetheart I know its not fair but Harry is in danger. This is not forever just till the danger has passed. Dumbledore and I understand how you are feeling right now. But Iris honey its for not only his safety but your own as well. " Severus said pulling the now crying girl into his arms. When she calmed down she agreed to staying quiet about it.
That night she sat in the astronomy tower looking out into the sky. "Mom I promise you and Dad I will protect him." She said before seeing a shooting star shoot across the sky. Tears streaming down her cheeks knowing they heard her. She knew her father didn't like it when she called James dad but to her that's what he was. She missed them terribly Halloween is not a favorite holiday for her. That day is a reminder that she will always be missing her parents.
