Miley James Potter & the Lost Sibling

6| The lost sibling

"In," Snape- the Potions teacher said in a cold voice indicating the start of class. The third-year Gryffindors and Slytherins quietly walked inside. Marcus Flint shot the twin's a glare because they hexed him at the end of last year when he picked on Miley for being muggle-born.

"He clearly hasn't forgotten the warts you gave him," Miley said with a dreamy look that made the twins and Lee Jordan snort. 

"4 to a table," Snape ordered. Miley shot Angelina, Katie, and Alicia apologetic looks as she joined the twins and Lee Jordan. They waved it off and just grinned at her.

"Now, can someone tell me what-" Snake began but Miley couldn't focus because her vision was getting blurry again. 

This time there was a weird flash of green light and a screech that made her want to curl up in a ball. 

What Miley didn't know is that she was not the only one who was experiencing weird things with her head. 

"Ms. Waters please take these ingredients and carry them to your table," Snape said and went off to Angelina's table. Miley's vision was still blurry but she tried to get up anyway.

"Miles!" Fred and George instantly got out of their stools and helped her up before she could fall.

"I'll get the ingredients," Lee Jordan said quickly.

"Sorry, I got a little dizzy," Miley said telling a white lie. "I think I'll be fine," she added. Fred hesitantly let go of her waist so Miley could sit properly on her stool.

"I think it's because I woke up so early and I barely ate," Miley said mostly to herself. She was trying to convince herself that these dreams and voices are hallucinations and that she should get sleep and eat.

"Waters- you forgot the cauldron," Snape said holding it up and Miley sighed as she tried to get up without falling.

But she fell- well fainted anyway.

"She said she barely had any sleep,"

"I should've forced her to eat,"

"I think she was scared Snape would yell at her,"

"My Miles isn't scared of anything, Ronald,"

"Fred?" Miley's voice croaked. She knew he was the one who said the last thing- and the part about forcing her to eat.

"Miles!" Fred said and tried to hug her but Madam Pomfrey had to stop him with her wand.

"Don't touch the patient!" she barked at him.

"Couldn't help myself," he grimaced.

"I'm fine. I should get to class," Miley said with a groan. "You'll be fine by dinner but I think Professor Dumbledore needs to have a word with you," Professor McGonagall said and appeared into view.

Harry appeared behind her, looking confused.

"Lunch is about to end. You lot better get going to class. Tell your teachers Ms. Waters is at the hospital wing," she said strictly and the twins nodded.

"Albus," Professor McGonagall said and Dumbledore appeared into view. "I think... I think Poppy you should leave," he said to Madam Pomfrey.

She nodded and left in a rush but not before giving Miley a potion to increase her energy.

"Now... I believe you two know each other?" Dumbledore asked Harry and Miley. His eyes were twinkling and Miley immediately knew something important was going to happen.

"Well we met on the train, sir," Harry said fixing his glasses. Miley's throat hurt so she nodded in agreement. 

"But I believe you met... before the Hogwarts Express," Dumbledore said gently. Professor McGonagall gasped.

"You can't be serious, Albus," she said and Miley noticed she looked pale. 

"Miley Stefan Waters?" she added and shook her head in disbelief. "Minerva I believe I am correct," Dumbledore said with a nod. 

"What- what's going on? What do you mean?" Miley asked. Her throat was hurting even bad but she had to ask questions. She had too many.

"I am going to just tell you- Miley your not an only child," Dumbledore said looking at her.

"But-" Miley cut herself short. She and Harry made eye contact.

"I was never told I had a sister, sir," Harry said. His voice cracked a bit.

"If Miley was able to get up, I could show you but I'm afraid I cannot," he said with a sad look.

"But... how do I have a brother if-" Miley stopped herself again. She couldn't make out the words. She had plenty to say but her throat hurt so bad and she didn't frankly know how to word her questions and thoughts.

"I know this is a lot of information but you two are siblings," he said softly looking at the two of them.

Harry looked like he was processing this information and Miley looked like she had a billion questions but was in pain at the same time.

"Is there... proof?" she asked after a few long seconds.

"I would love to show you but Poppy wouldn't be pleased with me if I took her patient," he said and Miley could truly sense he was sorry.

"Well than... hello... brother," Miley croaked. She reached over to the potion Madam Pomfrey made her and drank a huge gulp, praying it would help.

"Hello... sister," Harry said with a nod.

This is getting awkward. 

"I'm sure the two of you have a lot of questions but we need to contact... some wizards and witches that we have finally reunited the Potter's," Dumbledore said and Miley's heart sank.

"What about my foster mum and dad?" she asked.

The potion seemed to have helped a ton. Her throat didn't hurt as much.

"They will be informed. You have a choice- you can stay with them or the Dursley's," Dumbledore said and vanished within a second. Miley noticed that he looked down when he said the Dusrelys but couldn't quite figure out what he meant. 

"Trust me, you don't want to live with the Dursleys," Harry said with a groan.

"The Waters are muggle-borns too," Miley said and drank another huge gulp from the cauldron.

"These muggles are terrible. I don't think it would help very much if they found out I had a sister," Harry said.

"The Waters have been there for me for my whole life. I can't just leave them like that," Miley said mostly to herself.

"Your right but I hope you know from now on we can call you Miley James Potter," Professor McGonagall interrupted.

Miley and Harry flinched. They forgot she was here, she had been so quiet and was getting more and more paler. 

"I supposed that's true," Miley murmured. 

"I think you should rest on this... Ms. Potter," Professor McGonagall said and she led her and Harry out of the hospital wing.

Miley didn't know if this was real or if she dreaming again but she knew she was hungry and couldn't wait to tell Fred and George what she just went through. 

So... yeah...
