A life that was never lost

Chapter 1: the Girl who lived

As always, the brown with flaming red highlights hair in the mirror was uncontrollable. Neither straight, nor curled, just fizzy hair. Her eyes were deep green, with a dash of brown on the edge. But she liked it, cause it was her natural appearance that she discovered at an early age, very hard thing for a metamorphmagus, tough she wasn't like others, she was the strangest witch to ever walk on Earth: she was imune to all poisons, basilisk venom, stare and others. She was a Parseltongue, metamorphmagus, could do very powerful wandless magic and other incredible things. And although she didn't understand her immunity, she was happy because of it.

The story of the girl started nearly 11 years ago. She was born in a wizard's family, a strange little creature, the new master of death, since she got the powers of the Deathly Hallows when she was born. Few people knew about her, including her parents' best friends, the Hogwarts staff, her godfather and twin brother. One night, when she was 1 year old, not knowing about her, Voldemort came to their house, killed her parents and tried to kill her brother too. Unaware about the little master of death, he was terrified when the girl came in front of the bed, caught the killing curse in her little hands and handed it to him. Of course, her powers weren't trained, so a little bit of the curse went to the twins' birthmarks, shaped like lightning bolts. The girl, catching it, got twice as much as her brother and, unknowingly, the three people that were still alive in that room connected forever. She was taken away by her godfather and lived at Hogwarts ever since.

Since nobody knew about her, the whole wizarding world assumed that her brother defeated the Dark Lord and called him " The boy who lived". All of them thought that his birthmark, that she also had, was a scar from the curse. But how wrong they were...

While little Harry was taken away to live with the Muggles, because he had only the ancient love magic to protect him, she was taken to Hogwarts, having also her never before possessed magic, the 1 year old master of death, taken to train her powers and mind.

And she also had the soulmate thing. When she was three, she started noticing the color stains on her body and the fact that she had moments when she saw another's mind, what he was thinking. She also felt an intrusion in her mind regularly and heard someone in her head and could talk to him. So, when she was seven, she finally went to Dumbledore and McGonagall and told them. She was told that it was about ancient magic. Everybody has a soulmate, but the ones with the mind seeing thing are each other's significant other too. Also, the color stains on her body meant the emotions that the boy had. She also found out that he could only hear the thoughts she wanted him to hear, and the other way around.The boy too told her that his mother told him that and they decided not to reveal their identity untill they eventually meet (fate was gonna bring them together) . She appreciated him very much, because although he was a pure blood from an ancient family and his family hated muggles and muggle-borns(she knew that due to her powers), and he thought that she was muggle-born, he was friends with her and loved her. She remembered happily the day when he told her about magic...

FLASHBACK

"I didn't know that wizards can talk this way" he said.

She decided that everyone should think that she is a muggle-born, because it gave her the opportunity to make real friends and to change her surname so nobody could know about her ancient powers and her connection with Harry.

"Wizards? "she replied " what are you talking about? Wizards and witches don't exist"

"Oh, so you're a muggle-born..."

She thought that was the end of the conversation cause she knew that he was pure blood and hated Muggles.But, happily, she was wrong.

"But that doesn't matter. It's even better. That means I get to tell you everything about the wizarding world".

And so their conversation evolved and their friendship too, they got to know each other truly(maybe without the blood status), and she already had a friend in the wizarding world, other than the Hogwarts staff and other adult friends.

END OF FLASHBACK

The girl's name was Selene Alia Potter (Alia from the Latin word 'alium' that meant different, not like others). She was the twin of Harry Potter, she was the true "Girl who lived", and this is her story...

A/N: The italic words is when she talks to the boy. I hope you like the story and the idea. I got the idea weeks ago but I only put it on paper some days ago. English is not my first language, but I did my best to spell all the words correctly. If you want, feel free to give me suggestions, and constructive criticism is appreciated.
