It was a night blurred by drink when Harry gave away his innocence to an older woman, a veela named Sasha Pontmercy to be exact. When he awoke he was terrified. How could he have cheated on Ginny? The woman he had loved since he was sixteen? He looked down at the beautiful witch lying next to him. A small cat like grin on her red lips. Sasha Pontmercy had got what she wanted. For the next week when Harry was long gone she took the test. Sasha was pregnant!
Harry went back to Ginny after his night with Sasha and the red haired beauty had no clue and married The-Boy-Who-Lived in ignorance of his terrible betrayal. She soon fell pregnant with Harry’s child. But then tragedy struck…
Sasha died in childbirth, just as she has expected. Leaving Harry with two newborn babies to see about. One boy and one girl. When Harry came to collect them he was handed a note in Sasha’s handwriting.
Dear Harry,
If you are reading this it means that I have died in childbirth as my mother before me. In the crib are the two children that you helped me to create. Please love them with all your heart. I know that they are twins, one boy and one girl. I took the test to find out a few weeks ago.
You may christen the boy what ever you wish. But the girl, the girl is to be called Elizabeth. It means ‘God’s Promise’ and it was my mother’s favourite name apparently. My father gave me my name and so I want my child to be blessed with the name I was meant to receive. This is my final wish.
I have left them much money in my vault. I was rich in my life and they deserve all of it. The vault number is 128. The key should be in this very envelope.
As for me I do not regret having your children. It was what I always wanted. To bring something so innocent into the world and let it be loved, even if it was not by me. Don’t feel guilty about how they were conceived. Just think of them as your little reminder of the night we spent together.
Tell them who they are when they reach seven, they will be old enough to understand then. I want nothing more than my children to live, long, happy lives. I hope you can give this to them Harry.
Give my love to little Elizabeth and I’m guessing James or Sirius.
All my love
Sasha Pontmercy
Harry read the note through again and again. Tears beginning to prick at the back of his eyes. He stared down at the two children and noticed the way the brother had his little arms clasped protectively around his sister, who was much smaller. Asking the nearest Medi-Wizard they answered that she had had a lack of oxygen at birth because her mother had been fading so fast after the sons birth. Elizabeth had been born with Sasha’s dying breath. Harry simply nodded and took in the two before him. So young, so innocent and he felt something grow in his chest. This was the reason he fought now, so he could protect them and his unborn child from harm, he would fight for a world where they could grow up unafraid, free to love and live.
He took the two children home to Ginny and answered that they were two orphans he had found all alone in a basket in the middle of town, obviously dumped by their own mother and father. Ginny had her mother’s heart and so instantly took them in. Determined to raise them along with her expected child as Potters. Little did she know they truly were.
Everything was peaceful in the Potter household. Until Elizabeth’s hair colour became as clear as day. By the time she was three Elizabeth had a full head of raven black hair and her eyes were a sparkling emerald green. She was almost identical to Harry but she seemed to exude a beauty that was not normal. People were drawn to her and Ginny when they wandered down the street and they cooed over her more than was usual.
Gin confronted Harry on the night he was due to leave and fight Voldemort. She had just put her son to bed and the two twins were once again nestled in their crib. James always seemed to become agitated when separated from Elizabeth. He was going to be very protective when he got older.
“Why does she look like you Harry? Why?” She asked as she looked over at the tiny sleeping forms.
“Does it matter?”
“Yes Harry! I want to know. Where did you find them? Who are they?”
“How should I know… I just found them in a basket. I’ve told you this already.”
“Harry don’t lie to me… WHO ARE THEY!” She screamed and he snapped up to his full height as he roared back his response.
“THEY’RE MY CHILDREN! Alright?” He asked as he slammed his case shut and bent over the crib. It broke his heart to leave them more than it did his wife. He stroked Lizzy’s hair, then James and said goodbye to them. He wandered into Sirius’ room and said good-bye to him as well before turning back to Ginny. “I’ll see you soon Ginny, then I’ll explain everything. But if I don’t come back. There’s a letter in the bottom draw of my clothes dresser. It will explain for me.” And with that he swept from the room. That was the last time anyone saw Harry Potter alive. He had tracked down the Dark Lord in the cover of darkness and killed him that same night. Dying in the process as well. Dying for his children.
Ginny heard the news of his death a few days later and she barely stopped crying long enough to take care of the three children she now needed to raise alone. Her mother Molly helped her a lot until she was ready to read the letter he had told her about.
Dear Gin,
If you’re reading this is means I’m dead and haven’t yet explained to you about the twins. Their mother was a veela named Sasha Pontmercy, she died in childbirth three years ago and I took the children in. Her final wish was taken care of the minute I christened our little girl Elizabeth.
I did not love her when we went to bed. I was hurting from the fight we had had that night and she was there to comfort me. I was drunk and that is the only excuse I can make.
Now I know you will be angry and disappointed but I beg of you, please do not take it out on my twins. Let them remain under yours and yours family care. But if you don’t want to there is a clause in my will. As long as the twins live there the house is yours. If ever they choose to leave then the house reverts to them and they have every right to turf you out, the same with my fortune. It is all theirs. I’m sure if you’re nice they’ll let you keep living the way you have become accustomed.
But please for my memories sake love them. They are dear innocent children that did not choose to be born to a woman that was not the one I loved. For I do love you Ginny, I always will, even in death. Their only crime was being born and that is not a punishable offence.
Tell them who they are when they are seven. That is what Sasha wanted and I want you to stick to that agreement.
All my love goes to you, Elizabeth, James and Sirius. I will watch over you from wherever I end up.
Harry.

And thus was the fate of Ginny Potter. To raise her husband’s love children. But even though they were not her’s she loved them with all her heart. There was no reason for the Claus in Harry’s will, she wouldn’t have dreamed of getting rid of the children. They were Potter’s no matter of what blood that ran through their veins.
Gin told James and Elizabeth who they were when they were seven years of age. James clung to his sister as she sobbed into his shoulder. He was protective and always would be. He hated to see his own blood weeping and he guessed this came from being twins. She was after all his only living relative. A small innocent child who he had found was so very easy to hurt. Outside and in.
When they stared Hogwarts there were whispers of who their father was and why the girl was so beautiful at such a young age. They were quickly raised to the top of the pecking order at Hogwarts after proving themselves to be as brave and prone to bringing danger as their late father. They were of course Gryffindors and acted like it to. But there was one thing that people noticed, they were always together. James always watching over his sister like a hawk. Elizabeth was popular but James often reacted badly if a guy even looked at her in the wrong way.
The came Sirius’ turn to arrive at the school. When his name was called a hush came over the crowd as every eye followed him. But the silence that ensued from the Hat’s decision was not one of relief, it was one of shock. Sirius had been sorted a Slytherin. He seemed proud of his achievement and walked to his place with a saunter.
James and Lizzy were very disappointed in their brother but they still tried to be nice. But Sirius didn’t seem to want to know them. After all they were only half-bred brats. He was full Potter. He was the important one, or that’s what he thought anyway. James and Elizabeth simply brushed it aside; they had each other and their hordes of fans.
James soon began to ease off the protection slightly and Cosette got her first boyfriend a few weeks into her third year, about the same time that James got his first girlfriend, and Sirius got the dark mark on his arm.
Elizabeth was the Queen Bee before she was in her fifth year of her schooling but for some reason she seemed unaware of this fact. She was more interested in making some of the Slytherin’s lives as hellish as was humanly possible. And James was more than happy to help her. He rallied the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs to the cause with his winning smiles and careless charm. He was almost identical in personality to his namesake. James Potter was a heart breaker and the most popular guy in school. His gang began to wage war on the Slytherins of the school, pranks in the halls, fart powder in their food. It was full-scale battles sometimes. Often the night sky was lit up with flashes of light as Gryffindor and Slytherin fought.
Lizzy’s two best friends were Marius Krum and Cole Weasley all the way through her schooling. It was only natural that her and Marius were soon a couple. It was the summer before her sixth year when that all went wrong.
During a rather heated argument with Marius he hit her. He hadn’t meant to but it was still enough to change Elizabeth’s opinion of him. He wasn’t who she thought he was and she dumped him almost on the spot
But that was also where her friendship with Cosette began. And thus the new golden trio was formed. It consisted of Elizabeth, Cosette and Cole. Elizabeth could get a new boyfriend whenever she wanted. She just didn’t feel like it. Marius had hurt her and it would take a lot to get over him. She even considered taking him back simply to stop the ache.
Meanwhile James has been out breaking hearts. Quite a few in fact. There is a string of girls crying in their bedrooms as he works his way through the school like a no good Casanova. But as they say ‘If you’ve got it why not use it?’ James doesn’t like the idea of settling down to one girl. And the only person he trusts completely is his sister Cosette. They’re still best friends even though they’re older and wiser now.
Sirius is playing the ‘Bad Boy’ around Hogwarts later. Has the girls, mistreats them, and then dumps them in a heartbeat. At least James has the heart to let them think he cared to begin with. Sirius doesn’t even do that, he just drops them in the pile. Hence the group now forming with the slogan “Sirius. Potter. Must. Die.” They consist of girls in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff for the girl’s of Slytherin don’t seem to care about his caddish ways… I mean they’re just as fickle as he is.
The Potter’s accepted Cosette into their home when she turned against her own. Even James didn’t care and soon began to trust her.
