My name is Hazel: The story of Harry Potter's twin

What Dumbledore proposes

Hazel had been listening intently. Her mother had already told her about the act that had saved her brother. She had known that their mother loved them dearly so it was only natural that her love was so strong but now he was telling them that this protection of love was in the blood. Because of this he had placed Harry with their aunt.

He chose her aunt over her. Dumbledore had believed that her Aunt Petunia was a better ward against magic than she was. This was not the only thing that had her perplexed and a bit infuriated.

He was now asking Shyla to protect Harry.

"I already know Harry is going to want to live with Sirius but I feel this should be delayed. I feel that we should have Harry with the Dursleys for one more year. After this he can live wherever he wants.

"But I must ask you, Miss Shyla please protect him as you have protected Hazel all these years. I know that this is a lot to ask and everyone has already sacrificed so much but I only want what is best for both Harry and Hazel"

He paused and smiled at Hazel. A smile that begged her to forgive him. Before she spoke Shyla began to giggle. An actual human sound and it made Hazel smile because she knew that Shyla was about to do something she rarely did. She was about to speak directly to Dumbledore.

Her beautiful tail feathers moved up and grew long as she grew tall and her bird face became more human like. The process was over in a matter of seconds and as she stood tall before Dumbledore Fawkes flew to land on her shoulder and sang a soft pleading song.

This beautiful angelic creature smiled and it was like the sun had risen in the room. She ran a hand along Fawkes' flaming feathers and she spoke and it was like needed water on a scorchingly hot day

"Do not worry little sister. I only want him to understand fully. How could I hurt someone you love?"

She looked to Dumbledore and he smiled. She met that smile with one of her own.

"Albus Dumbledore. The wisest of them all. You have misjudged. I am a Star Bird. I live amongst gas and fires unforgiving and it has made me the same." She smiled at Hazel and then stroked her hair as if she were her little sister.

"This one is strong. I saw it in the stars. She has always been strong and a beloved of fate itself.

"Do you understand that? This precious being is loved by something that knows nothing of love. She is so special she is cherished and that is her importance.

"And it is most important because she knew this almost from the start. She knew she was favored and protected. Because she saw it. She saw it even before she was supposed to be able to see. Before she walked the scapes of dream and consciousness."

She shook her beautiful head.

"I never protected her. How do you protect someone more powerful than a star? I befriended her and she allowed our friendship because this is who she is. You have made a grave mistake Mind Mage. From the very beginning you missed the truth of it.

"This is the fabled Dimension Breaker. The one prophesied to break and then re-combine the dimensions into one plane of reality.

"The one called Spirit Seeker, Truth Sage, Time Maker, and more. Her brother is famous in one dimension, she is known, by one name or another, in all. I chose to walk with her because I knew that I would never be bored. And she has treated me as a sister and a confidant."

She smiled again, cocked her head and stepped behind Hazel.

"Fawkes was concerned because I hate this appearance and I kill most who have seen it. But I have no intention of killing you Mind Mage. You are important to this as well. I just want you to understand your flaw. You missed something with Tom Riddle and you missed something with the Potter twins."

"That's enough Shyla."

Shyla smiled sweetly and slowly reverted back to her original form. Dumbledore looked to Hazel, a bit of shock on his face. Hazel half smiled at this.

"I am still upset about this but it will have to rest between us. You acted without full understanding and I stood still with knowing enough to change the outcome.

"Shyla is my friend and she has protected my brother since before I even knew her. She will continue to do so because that has always been her role. What is your role Headmaster? Do you know? Do you believe you will ever know?"

As Hazel faded from his room Dumbledore didn't even wonder how she broke his wards. He didn't think about her connections to fate. He didn't ponder obscure truths. All things that he would normally do, no, he only wondered how he missed it and why Fawkes had not told him.

In the end he knew the answer to both. En separated themselves from other dimensions, to their own detriment, and Fawkes wasn't allowed to.

Everyone sat in silence on the dreamscape. George sat next to Hazel, a bit too closely for Harry's liking. Did he not know how old his sister was?? And Fred and Angelina were next to them.

Harry felt too many people knew too much of his business.

"So I can't stay with Sirius for another year?" Hazel didn't respond and he knew that she was upset. He looked to Sirius and Remus and they both shrugged.

"As soon as I am able you will be with me. The Ministry of Magic is still in denial even after they spoke to that rat and then lost him."

With that Hazel sighed deeply but continued to look blankly ahead. Everyone looked to her and George put an arm around her and pulled her closet, eliciting frowns from Both Harry and Sirius.

"We will just take shifts monitoring the home and if we detect a problem we go in… How do you in En say? … Guns blazing."

"I think that's just people in the United States Evey."

"Really? You don't all say that?"

"I don't even think they say it. I think it is something from muggle television."

Evervine shrugged at Hermione's comment and looked at Hazel.

"We will need surveillance and looking glasses for everyone. I will set up a schedule for all of us. Who wants to be on rotation"

Everyone raised their hands, everyone except Hazel and Evervine nodded in satisfaction.

"Are you okay with surveillance?" Harry looked at his sister with a smile. This was the most she spoke since they had been there. He nodded and she nodded in return and looked off into the distance again.

"I will have everything set up by tomorrow night. I will leave the looking glasses in your beds. Bring them with you next time we meet and one of us will teach you how to use them."

"Marcel and I will teach them."

"I will?" Evervine gave him a hard look and he nodded. "I will. And with great joy."

Hazel stood and looked at her brother. "I need to speak to you Harry."

He frowned. He heard the seriousness in her voice as he nodded.
