Ok, my second fanfiction with Harry Potter as a girl. Now this is another twin fic where one twin is the child who lived but the other is ignored. Now there's no real abuse in this fic, but there is neglect. I'm not trying to copy anyone's ideas, I've just read so many of these I wanted to make one myself. Now here's the actual summary, sorry if it's different from the one below the link:

Angelique Potter and her twin brother Charlus both survived that night on Halloween, but everyone thinks Charlus is the Boy-Who-Lived when Angelique is the Girl-Who-Lived. Her parents constantly compare her to him, and ignore her as does her godfather Sirius. Remus Lupin and her younger sister Abigail really love her, and so when it's time to start school Angelique takes control of her life regardless of what her family thinks. Graduating from school at thirteen, and apprenticing under Snape, could her life get any better?

This is co-written by my fic friend AnnaBoleyna1536, my character is Angelique, and hers is the baby sister Abigail.

We don't own Harry Potter.

Enjoy!

A dark event had occurred nearly ten years ago, a dark even that changed the lives of two twin babies from the Potter household. James and Lily barely survived that night, but they were most relieved that their twins, mainly their son, had survived as well. No one knew at first which twin defeated the dreaded Dark Lord, but when the son first performed magic they knew it must've been him all along.

They were wrong, seriously wrong. The wrong twin was proclaimed the child who lived, while the real one suffered in the background. The poor child had the mark, but they still believed it to be the son.

Their children had grown up in the same household, their twins and their youngest daughter Abigail Anne Potter. Charlus Sirius Potter, or Charlie, was proclaimed the Boy-Who-Lived, and his twin sister Angelique Dorea Potter was cast aside. The Potters spoiled their son, but their daughters hardly had any attention, not even from their godfather Sirius Black. The youngest one had some attention, but she still wasn't the favorite like her older brother.

The two girls stuck together ever since Abigail was born, and though neither girl was abused, they might as well have been. Their parents never said, 'Well done' or 'Good job' or even 'Thank you' to them, it didn't matter what they did; they had to suffer for the reputation of their pathetic older brother. True they had been given an education, food, and clothes, but they were ignored no less. The only figure who seemed like a parent to them was Remus Lupin, and he was the father the girls wanted. He loved them, told them how proud he was of them, gave them gifts, and treated them like his own cubs unlike Sirius who treated Charlie like a bloody prince.

"Did they go out again?" seven year old Abigail, or Abbey, as Angelique called her, came into her sister's room after their parents left with their brother that afternoon.

"Yeah, they're getting a new broom for Charlie; whoopee." Angelique's sarcasm was her best insulting charm, she used it a lot especially around her parents. Charlie had been begging his parents for a new broom after breaking his fifth one they gave him on their birthday last month. He got a new broom and a Quidditch uniform, but all Angelique got was a pair of gloves for the winter.

Remus had given her a bracelet, sterling silver with animal charms including a wolf, a horse, a falcon, a cat, a fox, and a rabbit. The bracelet looked expensive, but Remus had said it belonged to his mother and since he didn't have any daughters he gave it to Angelique; she never took it off, unless she bathed.

For Abigail's birthday she had gotten a journal from her parents, a ratty old one that belonged to James but he never used it. Remus of course gave Abbey a cute little butterfly hairclip that was his grandmother's, made of hand-painted silver, with colors of a monarch butterfly. She took good care of it, and wore every time he came to visit. Sirius hardly gave them anything, instead he wrote his name on the lame presents from their parents. It was the same with Christmas too, Charlie got the good presents and they got hand-me-downs.

"Why do they hate us Angie?" Angelique stared at her seven year old sister, surprised she would ask such a question.

"I don't know Abbey, I don't know." Abbey got up onto Angelique's bed and sat on her lap, her sister held her close and they sat there for thirty minutes before hearing the floo go off. "Must be them." they walked downstairs to see who came, and saw it was Remus. "Moony!" both girls ran down and hugged the man tight.

"Hey girls, where are…?" they pulled away and shook their heads. "Again?" Remus knew how the girls were treated, and he told them if he could he would get custody of them but since he was a werewolf the Ministry would just send them back to James and Lily. Times were hard, but at least Remus was there when they needed him.

"Not worth it Moony." Angelique whispered to him, so Abbey couldn't hear.

"Well, what's say we have some chocolate and play a game of ladders and snakes? And then a game of slap jack?" the girls both nodded, Remus played muggle games with them often, but they liked them even if Charlie didn't. "Here you are." He handed them both chocolate frogs, which they ate down in no time.

"Hey I got Merlin!" Abbey said showing Angelique her card.

"I have Morgana…again." Angelique had lots of chocolate card frogs, but she barely used them.

"Ah don't worry Angelique, you can trade with me." Abbey held out her card.

"Nah, I know you wanted Merlin so you keep him."

"You sure?"

"Yes I'm sure, go on." Abbey smiled and put the card back into her pocket. If Charlie saw it he would take it, he'd been looking for Merlin for months.

"Anyway, before we begin the games Angelique I think you're due to start school next year correct?" she nodded. "Well, I know you told me you don't want to go to Hogwarts, so I brought this." He handed her a brochure and an envelope full of admission forms on an American magic school. "You just have to fill this out, which I'll help you with, and then you write an essay on why you want to attend. That's where the brochure comes in."

"Is it like Hogwarts?"

"Sort of, it's not as ancient but it's an old school that's been around for centuries. Rumor has it the wizard who created it was a protégé under Merlin himself though it's never been proven."

"But how will I afford it? James and Lily won't pay." He knew their parents wanted the kids to attend Hogwarts, but if it meant the same treatment there as at home Angelique wanted no part in it.

"You can get a scholarship, if you take this test here." Remus pulled out a folder. "Once you fill out the admission forms you take this magical test and depending on your score they will decide if you are eligible for a scholarship. That could cover your tuition at least." Angelique looked over the form, it seemed simple enough to fill out, and the test looked like basic math and science.

"Let's see, Charms class, Potions, Medicine, optional courses, Magical History, these all sound good. It even says for students out of state or continent they will provide transportation. Travel three days ahead of time, room and board, you're even allowed to have your own broomstick during your first year." Angelique knew Hogwarts wouldn't allow first years to have their own brooms; she could probably buy one in America.

"What do you say Angie?" Abbey wanted her sister to be happy; she actually hoped that when she was due to start school in four years she'd be able to go to school with Angelique.

"I'll do it, but there's no guarantee that I'll get in." she looked at Remus.

"You're very smart Angelique, I say you will get in and you can have as much fun as you wish when you get there." Remus winked. "So do you want to fill it out now?"

"Oh yes, before they come back."

"Then let's get started, Abbey do you want to help?" Abbey nodded. "Alright then." First they filled out the form, basic information regarding home address, birthdates, family members, etc.. Once that was done Angelique took the test but finished in less than ten minutes. Her quick ability to learn stunned all her tutors, but didn't settle well with her parents whom assumed she was bragging about it to make Charlie feel bad. Charlie didn't help either, he claimed she cheated on her tests but her tutors had put charms on the quills to prevent cheating.

He was such a huge sore loser, whine whine whine whine all the bloody time.

Filling out the forms and test only took an hour all together, so Remus used the family's owl to send the mail out. James said he was allowed to when he needed, and within a week or two Angelique would get a response back. She actually hoped the school accepted her, anything to get away from her parents and stupid brother.

"OK girls, how about a game of…cat and mouse!"

"YEAH!"

Three hours later:

After many games and playing together Angelique and Abigail were both exhausted from the day with their favorite wizard. Remus had really made the day good for them, far better than them staying in Angie's room bored and angry with the others.

"Mooney?" all three were in the den just talking after an hour outside, when the rest of the Potters and Sirius came through the floo.

"Oh hello James." Remus tried to keep his composure; he didn't want to lash out at James in front of the girls.

"Hey Moons, what're you doing here?" Sirius embraced him.

"I came to see Angelique and Abigail."

"Oh, did you have fun?" Lily looked at the two, who only nodded. "Oh well go wash up for dinner."

"We already ate thanks." Angelique answered her. "Uncle Moony gave us pizza."

"Pizza? That's not fair!" Charlie whined.

"It's ok son we can get pizza too, Moony would you like to join us?" Remus shook his head.

"No, I have to go but thanks." Angelique and Abbey hugged Remus tight, as if they didn't want to let go. "It's alright girls, I'll come back this weekend and we can play some more." They let go and he kissed their heads. "Goodnight." He left after giving Charlie a hug goodbye.

"Well…I'll order the dinner, Charlie why don't you go try out your new broom?" Charlie's face brightened up but he stopped when he stared at Abbey's pocket, with the card slightly sticking out.

"Hey what's that?" without an answer he pulled the card out getting a protest from Abbey. "Hey cool it's Merlin! I've been looking everywhere for him!"

"Give it back that's mine!" Abbey tried to grab it but Charlie pulled away. "Uncle Mooney gave it to me!"

"Give it back Charlie it's not yours." Angie knew this would happen, and she wasn't about to let Charlie take another one of Abbey's things.

"Oh come on girls you can share with your brother." James said and Charlie looked pleased and smug. "Let him take it for tonight."

"No, then he'll wreck it like he did the last ones." Angelique walked up and pushed Charlie before taking the card and handing it back to Abbey.

"Do not push your brother young lady!" Lily scolded her.

'Oh shut up.' She glared at the woman who was supposed to be her mother.

"You better give that back!" Charlie tried to grab the card again but this time Angelique shoved him so hard he actually bumped into the wall.

"No, now back off."

"Give it back!" he shouted again.

"I said back off Charlie." He tried again but she shoved him again.

"That's it, Angelique Potter go to your room, Abigail give me the card." Lily held out her hand.

"NO!" Abbey ran with the card trying to reach the stairs. James caught up with her and took the card from her hands, then handed it back to Charlie. Charlie stuck out his tongue, and both girls knew they'd never see that card again.

"Both of you go upstairs, you're grounded for the rest of the week and you can forget about going shopping with us tomorrow." James pointed upstairs.

"Like we were gonna go with you anyway." They would've forgotten them again; James looked at Angelique sternly.

"Upstairs now!" Abbey started crying, but Angelique led her upstairs anyway. They would take baths, and then go to their rooms not getting a goodnight or anything from their parents. Angie would tell Remus about this later, but for now they just had to keep quiet.

"Abbey you go ahead and take your bath, I'll go after you." Abbey nodded and grabbed her pajamas from her room. Angelique waited and looked through her cards, hidden in a spot under her bed where Charlie would never look, and found another rare card that Abbey would like better than Merlin, Salazar Slytherin. It wasn't very rare itself, but this card had the colored effects that made it shine brightly in the sunlight.

"You can go in now Angie." Abbey came into her room looking shower fresh.

"Ok, here." Angie handed her the card, and Abbey's eyes widened.

"But…but this is your favorite one." She tried to hand it back.

"No Abbey you keep it, since you're not going to get Merlin back you can have Slytherin. Just make sure you take good care of it ok, it's a very special card to me." Abbey smiled and hugged her.

"I will thank you."

"You're welcome; I'll be back in a little while." Angelique grabbed her own pajamas and went to shower. The water heated up immediately, and she washed her long wavy dark red hair which grew down to her waist. She had her mother's beauty, but her father's dark eyes, which she hated about herself. Abbey on the other hand had dark brown hair but wavy, and Lily's eyes; whereas Charlie looked completely like James. Angelique always wanted to make herself look less like her parents, maybe darken herself up a bit. If she got into that school she could change her look, maybe give herself a haircut and oh she couldn't wait to start wearing makeup.

The only mark Angelique loved about herself was the lightning bolt shaped scar on her forehead, it told her that despite what her family knew and thought she was the one who defeated that wizard years ago.

'This isn't a family, it's just three people so stuck up they'd drown if it rained.' Soon enough Angelique was finished; she dried her hair, and went back to her room seeing Abbey still there on the bed.

"Should we go to bed now?" Angelique looked at the clock, it was nearly nine. Nine was their bedtime, but of course Charlie got to stay up late whenever he wanted.

"I guess so, we can't go downstairs."

"Can I stay with you tonight?" Angelique had only a single bed, but she made room for Abbey whenever she slept in her room, and that was often.

"Sure you can." Angelique pulled the covers up and covered Abbey and herself. They slept together often; though they were only three years apart you'd think they were twins.

Tomorrow was another day though, and Angelique just hoped that school responded soon.

Well what do you think? Good start? Bad start? Anything confusing? Please tell me so I can improve the story as best as I can. Next chapter is where Angelique hears back from the school two weeks later, and there will be some drama.

R&R Later!
