Summary
Harry and Willow Potter are twins, born seven minutes apart on July 31, 1980. Eleven years later, they discover they are no ordinary twins, but magical (and famous?!). Follow them as they journey to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn spells, potions, and how to ride a broomstick. But something sinister lurks in the shadows. A dark wizard is rising once again, and only Harry and Willow can stop him. They must band together and fight to protect each other and the very world they've just learned existed.
This is the first book in a total rewrite of the Harry Potter series. Starting with Philosopher's Stone, I plan rewrite each book, exploring how different the world could be if Harry Potter had a twin sister. Expect canon divergence, exploration of dark themes, and strong family, and found family, bonds. This is Harry Potter, but not like how you've read it before.

Summary
Harry and Willow Potter are desperate to return to Hogwarts, determined that this year will be better than last. They have each other, their friends, and none of the professors will be trying to murder them, so what could go wrong? Apparently everything. The mysterious Heir of Slytherin is attacking students and turning them into stone. With only a handful of clues as to who it might be, the twins must rely on each other and their friends to solve the mystery before the worst happens - a student dies and Hogwarts is shut down, forever.
This is the second book in a total rewrite of the Harry Potter series, imagining the world if Harry Potter had a twin sister! I've already completed Philosopher's Stone, so I highly recommend reading home is behind (the world ahead) before jumping into this.
