The
London road was crowded as he walked down the sidewalk. Feeling followed the
hairs on the back of his neck raised up. Instead of looking behind him self to
see who was following him, he keeps waling head held high to the store at which
he intended to go. Just as he was about to enter he felt a hand on his
shoulder. He turned around to look into a pair of green eyes just as his...then
he woke in a cold sweat...
Harry tried desperately to remember who he
had seen but could only remember the eyes. All that he could recall was that he
needed a suit for some special occasion. Harry reached for his glasses on the nightstand
and looked at the clock, 6:30 A.M. He figured he might as well get up and go
for his morning run. At 16 with untidy black hair and shining green eyes,
beneath round glasses Harry looked like any typical boy. The Lightening bolt scar
on his forehead making him looks different. However, unlike most teenagers
Harry was different. Harry was a wizard. About to start his 6th year at
Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, The scar a reminder of the night
Harry's parents had been killed and the day Lord Voldemort the most evil dark
wizard of this century had been reduced to nothing, Leaving baby Harry with
nothing more then a scar and an orphan.
As
Harry set out for his run he couldn't help but feel happy for the first time in
his life Harry was free to do as he please. The previous year after Voldemort’s
resurrection, Peter Pettigrew the man who had betrayed Harry's parents had been
caught with his fellow Death eaters at one of the many massacre's that started
after Voldemort’s return.
Upon
capture by the Ministry of Magic, it proved that Sirius Black Harry's godfather
and parent's best friend was in fact innocent. After his pardon and retribution
in the sum of 200,000 galleons Sirius, relieved Harry of the Dursley's for
good. Sirius took him to his home in Coventry. Good morning Harry...Did I ever
tell you about Lily being a seer?"
"I
don't believe so," said Harry as he made himself a plate. He sat down at
the table and began to eat.
"She
was...although she couldn't control it...She would have these dreams...She
wrote them in a Journal she had with her at all times and ironically enough all
of them came true."
"What
else could she do?"
"Anything...Lily
was the smartest witch I had ever know...Along with looks, talents and athletic
abilities she ceased to amaze people with her mind...give her enough time and
Lily would have the answer. That is why I felt privileged to call her a
friend."
"You...Loved
her...?"
"Yes...as
a friend...there was no one but your father for her and her for him."
"How
and when did you meet her?"
“Third
year...Remus met her first then...James, Peter and myself. She was younger then
use by 3 years. She started the same time we did but never talked to her till
third year.”
“So
she was 8 when she started?”
“Yes...I
don't know the whole story behind it but it was clear to the M.O.M (Ministry of
Magic...that's my abbreviation) that she needed to start early. Although your
mother was a genius...she was never snotty, or snobby about it...in fact she
tried her best to hide it...Remus, James and I knew that if she hadn't such a
rough life things might have been easier on her.”
“What
do you mean rough?”
“Well
let see...she lost her dad after she graduated...both her mother and brother disappeared
after that...then there where other personal matters she couldn't talk about
and all of this before she turn 16. Had your mother not been so gifted I think
most of what happened would have made her go crazy...but like I said Lily was
on heck of a lady.”
“What
do you mean disappeared...My grandmother and uncle is alive, I thought Aunt
Petunia was my only relative.”
“No
she isn't...Listen Harry I hate to live you Like this but I got to get to
work...I'll be home at the usual time. I have the computer Hooked up to the
Wizarding Wireless Network...You can go find more information there...Are Ron
and Hermione coming over later?”
“Yes,
I'll be home around 4:00 p.m." I'll do that...Should I check the Muggle
internet too?”
“Yes...they'll
have info on your Mom's family too...OK see you later.” He walked out the door
and apatarated to work. As soon as Sirius left, Harry went to call Mione.
“Hello
Granger residence?”
“Hey
Mione...I was wondering if you can come earlier.”
“Sure
Harry no problem I'll be there in a couple of minutes.”
“Ok
thanks.”
He
took a sit on the couch in the den wait for her arrival. Since moving in with
Sirius, Harry had been learning a lot more about not only the way magically
people lived but Muggles too since he never had the opportunity. He played
sports like baseball...he had a PS2 gaming system...watched loads of T.V and
had His own computer. Mione being as smart as she was help Harry on the pc a lot
and showed him all kinds of different things he could do.
He
looked up as she arrived. Looking beautiful as ever with Waist long curly brown
hair and chocolate brown eyes, she had grown up over the past two years. She
smiled as she dusted herself over.
“Hi,
Harry did you need some help with something?”
“Yes
finding info on the WWN and the internet.”
“OK
let’s see what we can find.” She put her
over night bag on the couch and walked over to the desk where the computer was
located and sat down. Harry pulled a chair beside her. She signed online and
started searching. Harry giving her the info he had on his mother's family.
Mione and Harry found a lot. Within 10 minutes, this is what Mione had found:

this on the Muggle internet Mione went to see what she could find on the WWN.
“Are
you hungry...do you want to take a break?” asked Harry.
“Yes...Do
you mind if I cook...I want to try this new Fish recipe I found in a cook
book...Do you like fish?” asked Mione.
“Sure
you can cook and yes I like fish.”
“Good.”
Mione said with a smile as she walked into the Kitchen. At that time, Sirius
walked into the back door.
“Hi
Hermione how are you? How's your summer?”
“Lovely...How's
work?” Mione asked as she pulled out food from the fridge.
“Very
well where finally getting somewhere with the Death eaters and Voldemort,
tossing them to Azkaban.” Sirius said with a smile.
“I
saw in the Daily Prophet that you're running for the Minister of Magic in the
elections this fall.”
“Yes,
The order thinks it's a good Idea as do most of the Ministry Auror's...They're
very upset with Fudge for all the killings last summer and the way he handled Voldemort's
return.”
“Well
I wish you luck.” Mione said as she put a plate in front of him and Harry.
Mione had made baked cod in a creamy lemon sauce, asparagus, and steamed vegetables.
“A
lot so far...Mione’s been helping. We'll check the WWN after lunch. Which by
the way is great, I didn't know you like to cook,” said Harry
“Yes
I've been cooking for years. My parents are usually very busy at the office and
Helga and Janet our Cook and Maid taught me when I was young.”
“You
have a maid and a cook?” asked Harry.
“Yes
and Fredrik our Butler.”
“Wow...”
said Harry.
“Your
mother's a dentist right?” asked Sirius.
“Yes
both my mom and dad.”
“Do
you know your Mom's maiden name?”
“Spencer...Carol
Anne Spencer...Why do you know her?”
“That
name sounds familiar...”
“Well
if you did I'm sure she'd tell me because I told her about you years ago after you’re...”
“Escape...Don't
worry that word doesn't bother me.”
“Ok.”
“I
think it was Tara Spencer I knew.”
“Oh
ok...I think I'm about done...I'll clean up.”
“Don't
bother...I got It.” said Sirius as he cleaned the plates clean with a quick
flick of his wand.
“I'll see you two later.” Sirius said as he
walked out the back door.
Harry
was quite this whole conversation watching Sirius expressions on his face. Harry
had a feeling something wasn't right, but choose not to speak of this till
later.
“So
you ready?” asked Hermione as she stood up.
“Yes
I got it from here if you don't want to help.”
“Oh
that's ok I'd just be home Dissecting Frogs and stuff.”
“You
still were planning on going into medicine after you leave Hogwarts?”
“Yes...I've
been study like crazy and in between that and all my other obligations...I'd
look forward having an easy afternoon of just looking things up on the
internet.
On
the WWN an amazing large amount of information about Lily family. With the
exceptions of Ana, Frank and Petunia. Everyone else was a witch or wizard. Well
known ones at that. Harry's great-grandfather Joshua was friends with Albus Dumbledore
and they had defeated Thomas Moore a Dark Wizard as bad as Lord Voldemort back
in the 1930's. His Aunt Ally well known for all the Charms she had created. His
great-grandmother Tulip was a very powerful seer as was His Uncle Jeffery. As
for grandfather's mother, Helen She was one of the best Duelers in the world. Great-uncle
Fredrik worked with Dumbledore on the Sorcerers Stone and was an Auror too. He
found out that Both his great grandparents had died years before he was born so
had his Great-aunt Ally and Grandfather Frank both killed by Lord Voldemort in
the June following Lily's and Jeff's Graduation from Hogwarts. As for his
Great-uncle Fred, Grandmother Ana and Uncle Jeff, They had all disappeared.
Both Muggle and Wizards newspapers had stories on the front cover. All three
been assuming either Kidnapped or Killed. Current missing people files showed
that all three where still Missing. So what should we do?" asked Hermione
"When
Sirius get home” said Harry looking at the clock, which will be any minute,
we'll see what he knows, I can talk to Remus and owl Dumbledore too.”
“Ok...wow
its 5:30.I is going to run home real quick and get my Notebook. I'll be right
back.” Hermione stepped into the fireplace, shouted “Granger's residence” and
vanished with flash.
Harry
walked into the kitchen to start dinner. By the time, he had all the food out
Sirius was home.
“Where's
Hermione?”
“She
went home to get her notebook...What was with the questions this afternoon?”
“Oh
that. Nothing...Just remembering the past.”
“Ok”
said Harry not believing a word.
“So
what did you two find?”
“Plenty.”
said Mione walking into the kitchen followed by Ron and Cho.
“Hey
you two what's up?” asked Harry
“We
getting Married.” said Ron
“WHAT!”
said Sirius, Harry and Hermione at the same time?
“We...are...getting...Married”
said Ron
“Have
you guys lost your minds?” asked
Harry.
“No
they haven't. So are you going to have a combined Wedding and Baby shower?”
asked Mione with a grin.
“Separate.”
said Cho.
“Cool...so
when's the dates?”
“Next
Saturday for the wedding and I guess February for the Baby shower I'm due in
March.”
“May
I offer to help out with the wedding” asked Hermione.
“Yes...I
was hoping you'd be my maid of Honor.”
“Really...That
would be awesome, Thanks.”<For the next couple of minutes Cho and Hermione
made plans for the wedding.
“So
what's up with you and Hermione?” asked Ron.
“Nothing
just helping me with a project” Harry said with a shrug.
“Yes
and Monkey's are going to fly out of my Arse. I think I'd pay to see
that...here make your self useful and wash this and don't say anything to Mione
alright.”
“Hey
man no problem...I won't say anything...much...” said Ron grinning.
The
dinner past quite presently, Sirius told Harry and Hermione about Harry's
parents, grandparents, uncle, aunt, and great grandparents. As for where Ana,
Fred and Jeff where now no one knew, Both Muggle and Magical law enforcement
alike had been searching for the last 19 years to no prevail.
“Do
you think they are dead?” asked Mione.
“Honestly...No
I don't...Lily knew her family was in danger. I think she knows exactly what
happened and where they went. But unfortunately no one else does, But I have a
theory...I think they be back soon...Don't know when or how but I think Harry
will need them soon and that's when they'll be there.”
“And
if I want to find them...” said Harry.
“We
have looked Harry...everyone has looked, Please don't try. I know your parents
would want you to go on with your life that is why I...We all of use who knew
your parents avoided tell you this. Although I can't stop you...I can tell you that
your grandmother Ana won't want this for you.” How come?” asked Harry.
“Because
I knew your grandmother very well...She was amazing. She would walk into a room
and everyone would turn to stare. She had the vibrancy about her that just
shined. When I met her and your aunt Ally, it was like two peas in a pod. They
where Identical in everyway, Ana took Ally’s death very hard just as hard as
she took Franks, She Lost bother her Husband and Sister on the same night. I
knew your mother wanted the rest of your family safe. Therefore, she hid them
and very well and I believe if they wanted found they would have come out of
hiding. However, they're not safe just like you. You would be putting yourself
and them at grave risk if you went to find them. You should wait Harry. When
the time is right they are here for you.”
“Ok...I'll
wait...Is there anything else I should know?”
“I
think that's it.” Sirius said with a smile
“Harry
we hate to leave so soon but we still have a lot of plans to make for our wedding.
How about we get together this weekend and we can do something,” said Ron.
“Yes...Maybe
some Quidditch?”
“Sound
like plan.”
“Ok
well I see you two later.” Harry said as he stood and shook Ron's hand and gave
Cho a hug.
“Goodbye
Mione...call me later,” said Cho as she gave her a hug.
“I
will.” said Mione.
Sirius
retired to his study upstairs and Harry and Mione went to watch TV in the
family room. Mione had been quite all during the meal.
“Are
you ok? Sorry for dominating the conversation during dinner.”
“Oh
I'm fine just tired I guess.” said Mione softly.
“What's
really wrong?”
“Nothing...How's
your summer been...did you ever beat that game Grand Theft Auto?”
“Yes
and your avoiding the subject...Is everything ok...Are you having Problems at
home...with Viktor...how is he?”
“We
broke up as for home nothing new there...I have my dance recital tomorrow...Modern...would
you like to come see. If you don't that's fine.” said Mione looking down.
“I'd
love to...What happen with Viktor?”
“Nothing
we just grew apart...He was busy...we didn't get to see one another. It just
ended that all.”
“You
guys still friends?”
“Yes...his
team made the Championship he wanted to know if all of use could come.”
“Yes
that would be great...Unless you didn't want to go.”
“No
I was looking forward to it...We'll have top box seats again the game is in the
US...San Diego, California. So we can stay with my cousins and travel by floo
to their house then the pitch... they know I'm a witch and Mr. Weasley was able
to make the connection.”
“When
do we leave?”
“Day
after tomorrow,”
“Ok
sounds great. I’ll go tell Sirius.”
When
Harry got back, they watched "You've got Mail" and "The
Dreamcatcher" both courtesy of an unknown sources off the internet. Mione
burying her head in Harry's shoulder whenever something scary happened. It was
midnight by the time the movies where over. Neither feeling tired. They decided
to go for a walk to the lake, the woods where dark as they walked eventually coming
to the clearing. The moon shined brightly off the reflecting water.
“Why'd
you really break up with him?”
“We
both realized something...”
“What
did you realize?”
“He
loved me and I didn't feel the same way and as much as I cared for him and him
for me we just couldn't pretend anymore.”
“Is
there...someone else?”
“Yes...You.”
said Mione softly.
“Me?”
“Yes...You
know you're really a remarkable person Harry...If Viktor hadn't like you so
much or love me so much...he'd probably kill you, But he didn't want to hurt
me...So instead he gave me my freedom and told me to go to you...only.”
“You
where too scared to tell me.”
Mione
nodded and looked down.
He
put his arms around her and held. Not saying a word, they stayed like this for
quite a while. When she finally looked up, he kissed her softly on the lips.
“Let's
go back home...You look like you could use some sleep.”
“Ok.”
They
held hands as they walked back. Mione went to her room and Harry to his, not
believing his good fortune. He changed into a pair of sweats and then went to
Mione's room. She was already in bed.
“I'd
like to sleep here if that's alright...I promise I won't do anything.”
“Of
course.” she said as she pulled back the covers. He climbed in beside her
wrapped his arms around her and they both fell asleep.
The
following day Harry and Sirius went to see Hermione in her recital. Hermione
looked beautiful in her baby blue leotard and tights with silver sequence. Her
partner was a tall red haired man somewhere in his late 20's. He too was in a
midnight blue outfit. They danced devinely. When the recital finished and the
applause died down Harry and Sirius went to find Hermione back stage. It was
small area crowded with people. Harry and Sirius found Hermione talking to the
red haired person and another person. He was tall 6 ft 4 in black haired with
Silver running thru it. He was dressed conservatively in a navy blue pin
stripped suit. His eyes the color of faded blue, He was shacking Hermione's
hand. As soon as Mione stopped Harry and Sirius, she waved them over. She was
still in her outfit a towel around her shoulders, cheeks flushed and eyes
shining. He walked up to her and before he could say anything, she kissed him
on the lips.
&#hank
you so much for coming...I was so scared I'd make a mistake.
"You
did great...Why you don’t do this after you finish school."
"I'm
not that good Harry... medicine is a better choice. Harry, Sirius I'd like you
to meet my teacher and partner tonight, Bill Carter and his friend Mr. Kenneth
Richards."
Bill
and Kenneth Held out there hand to Harry and Sirius. All four shaking one
another hand and introducing themselves,
“Hermione
here has told me all about you. I hope that you two can persuade her to stick
with Dancing she has some real talent. I keep telling her any old fool can be a
doctor but only a truly special person can be a dancer. “Said Bill making Mione
blush.
“Bill’s
always saying that as does Madam Gloria.”
“And
I have good reason too...If you would just keep to practicing while you where
at school instead of doing whatever...you can come back next summer and not
have to start all over all awkward and out of shape...Are you her boyfriend?”
asked the women with the decidedly Scottish Accent.
“Yes,
I am.”
“Does
she have at least 2 hours in a day that she could practice?”
“Yes
she does.”
“Well,
then have her practice and I assure you, you'll be rewarded.”
“How?”
“By
saying that Hermione Granger the Best Modern Dancer in England is your
Girlfriend.” Madam Gloria said with a
broad Smile. She was a slender woman with a body like a dancer. Her golden blond
hair with a touch of gray at the temples bound up gently. She wore a white
dancer leotard with long flowing flowered skirt.
“Madam...I'm
not that good.” Said Mione blushing deep red.
“Yes,
you are my dear...You dance beautifully other wise Mr. Richards here wouldn't
be offering you a job in his company now would he...Kenneth leave my dancer
alone...I do not wish to relinquish her just yet.” Gloria said with a smile.
As
for you Bill...I will forgive you for your Mistake...Now come along we have other
guest to speak to....Mustn’t spend too long with group...It was a nice meeting
you Mr. Black and Mr. Potter...Keep Miss Granger in tune...otherwise you’ll
regret it.” said Madam Gloria as she, Bill and Kenneth walked away.
“She
right Hermione...I don’t believe there was another dancer out there half as
good as you.” said Sirius.
Mione
Nodded.
“And
I’ll help you practice all right...”
“You
can’t dance.”
“Well
then I guess you’ll have to teach me.”
“All
right,”
“Where’s
you Mom and Dad?” asked Sirius.
“They
made other plans,” said Mione looking down.
“We’ll
how about us three go out to for dinner...OK?” said Sirius.
“Sure
sounds great...thank you,” said Mione smiling brightly.
“Hey,
you deserve it. So come on lets go.”
Sirius,
Harry and Mione said goodnight to some people in the company, then left. They
went to The Ming Palace...Hermione’s Favorite...Sirius got a bottle of
Champaign for them. Afterwards they went back Mione coming too. Sirius bid them
goodnight. Soon Harry and Mione went to sleep too.
The
follow day was Friday. Harry and Mione woke up late. They packed their stuff
and set off to Ron's house. Having talked to Him and Cho the previous day, Harry
left Sirius a note giving the address and phone number as to where Mione’s
cousin lived. Cho and Ron where ready when they arrived.
“How’d
the dance recital go?” asked Cho.
“I
was so embarrassed...Madam Gloria and Bill both made A fool of me in front of
Harry.”
“And
for good reason...Both of them think she can go pro by the time she finishes
school...If she would just practice...So we all got to make sure she does all
right.” said Harry.
“Agreed,”
said Cho and Ron.
“What
this about a dance recital?” asked Mrs. Weasley?
“Mione
had one last night...she was awesome...so good that another company wanted her to
join them instead.”
“Oh
my god really?” asked Cho.
“Yes
this Mr. Richards fellow wants Mione for his company,” said Harry.
“Well
that’s wonderful my dear.” said Mrs. W giving Mione and hug as did Cho.
“I
haven’t made a decision yet...I’d still like to go to Med. school.”
“That
can wait Sweetheart...I look forward to telling everyone my girlfriend is the
best modern dancer in England.” said Harry smiling broadly.
“Oh
my god...you two...that’s so awesome...I always knew you two would make a good
couple, but how about....”
“I’ll
tell you when we get to my Aunt and Uncle’s Place.”
“OK.”
said Cho.
“Are
you guy’s ready?” asked Mr. Weasley walking into the room.
“Yes.”
said all four. They walked to the fireplace. Mione going first, followed by
Ron, Cho then Harry and Mr. Weasley.
When
they arrived, there was a house cleaner standing with a duster and washcloths
to rid themselves of the dust and soot on their clothes and faces. Judging by
the room they where in they could tell the house was a stately manor. When they
finished the house cleaner, (Nadine) took them outside with the rest of the
guest. The other room s they passed where just is big and decorated as nicely
as the parlor. When they got outside, they found themselves entering a party.
The house was on ocean front property. The beach in walking distance. There
where two pools, one kidney shaped one square each with diving boards and
slides on the left was a tennis court to the right a basketball court. At least
2 dozen round tables seating 12 apiece where around the Yard chase lounges
where by the pool. Mione looked around and walked to a petite blonde-haired
person in a pink and blue shirt and matching skirt. She smiled as she saw Hermione,
as did the man beside her. He was tall with graying black hair and hazel brown
eyes. Harry and the other assumed they must be Mione’s Aunt and Uncle. They
turned away from the people they where talking to, the women open her arms wide,
gave Hermione a big, and kiss, as did the man.
“You
become more beautiful every time I see you. These are your friends?” asked Aunt
Emily.
“Yes
Aunt Emma...this is Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Cho Chang and Ron’s Father
Excuse
Arthur Weasley. Guys this is my Aunt Emily and Uncle Aaron Hamilton.”
“Thank

“Thank

“My

“Certainly

and if you need to get in touch with me Hermione knows where to reach myself
And

“OK...good

“Thank
you.” said Arthur shaking her hand and Mr. Hamilton before turning quickly and
Leaving.
“Mina
is by the pool, Alex is on the courts, and Moonbeam and Matthew are somewhere.
Why
don’t you four change out of your robes then go find them.”
“OK,
we'll be right back.”
The
four of them went upstairs to their rooms changed and met back outside. Artemisia,
Alexander, Moonbeam, and Matthew turned out to be great. Misia and Alex both 19
where also a witch and wizard. Beanie being Mione’s age and Matt being a year
younger them being Muggles. Matt and Alex took Ron and Harry to the courts to
play basketball with there friends. While Misia and Beanie took the girls
swimming. Alex, Ron and Harry talked for a while getting to know one another.
Alex worked for the Ministry of Magic for Northern America. Misia was a seeker
like Harry for the Bangor Badger...who incidentally would be playing Bulgaria
in the World Cup tomorrow. Both Alex and Misia graduated Orion School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry in Denver, Colorado two years earlier. Alex being
impressed with both Ron and Harry...because of all that happened with Voldemort.
After a while, Harry went to find Mione. She was wearing a bright blue one
piece. She and the other girls, 10 in
all where talking. Harry snuck up behind her, and kissed her gently on the
neck.
“Ah
you two are going out that so cute. How long has this been going on?” asked Misia?
Two
days.” said Harry.
“Well,
that's great...I wish I was as lucky as is my schedule won’t permit it.”
“You'll
find someone Misia...Wait I know of someone...He’s a wizard too.”
“Who?”
“Victor.”
“Your
... ex?”
“Yes...You
both have the same schedule...both seekers...He’s really a great guy...both
The
same age...you two would be perfect...Do you want to meet him?”
“But
wouldn’t that be weird for you?”
“No...I
never felt that way for him and I don’t believe he felt that way for me
either...It was
More
friendly then anything else...I can call him right now...we can do something tonight.”
“OK...What
have I got to lose?”
That
night Viktor Apatarated to the Hamiltons'. Harry, Mione and the others decided
to go out to some local clubs. Thankfully Misia and Viktor Hit it off...Both
exchanging phone numbers and addresses. They both had to leave earlier because
of the Match tomorrow. Ron and Cho went home early because of Cho’s tiredness.
Harry, Mione, Alex and His girlfriend Ellen whom Harry and Mione met earlier
that evening stayed out late opting for less sleep and more fun. They got home
at around four. Both Harry and Mione and experienced the wonderful enjoyment of
IHOP. They Got home changed into their night attire. Mione joining Harry in his
room where they both fell immediately asleep.
The following Morning they where awaken at
7:00 much to their dislike by Alex...telling Mione to get out before his Mom
found them.
“Too
late...Alex out...Mione get up and come with me.”
Mione jumped out of bed and followed her
and to the room she was staying in. Mione went and sat in a chair her Aunt sat
across from her.
“Sweetheart...First
I'm not mad at either you or Harry...I just want to make sure you
OK...You’re
on the Pill?”
“Yes,
But Harry and I aren’t sleeping together...Harry isn’t like that.” Aunt Emma
laughed.
“Don’t
kid yourself dear...He’s 16, good looking, from what Alex and Misia tell me
he’s
Well
known and he’s sharing a bed with my 15 your old niece...My mama didn’t raise
no
Fool...and
I don’t believe your Mom did either... I just want to make sure your safe ok?”
“Yes,
Aunt Emma and Thanks.”
“No
Thanks necessary...I love you. I just want you to be careful OK.”
“OK,
I love you too Aunt Emma.” said Mione
“Now
why don’t you get dressed and packed and Come down for breakfast.”
She
said as she hugged her then Emily left.
Mione
took a shower, got dressed and went to find Harry. He found him in the kitchen
along with everyone else. Him and Aunt Emma where talking and by his expression
of relief on his face Mione knew he wasn’t in trouble and Aunt Emma smiling.
They smiled as they saw her. Harry took her hand kissed her softly on the lips.
“I
was worried for a minute that your aunt would kick me out.”
“No,
she cools.”
“Yes
she’s great...Too bad I don’t have a family like that.”
“You
will and I’ll help you find them.”
“Thank
you.”
“For
what?”
“For
helping me so much, I don’t know what I do with out you, I love you.” He
whispered.
“I
love you too,” she whispered back.
Both of them grinning like idiots. They took
their seats. Harry started talking to Ron and Alex about the game. Misia had
already left at dawn. Beanie and Matt excited too as was Aunt Emma and Uncle
Aaron.
“So
Mione how's your parents?” asked Uncle Aaron.
“Not
too good.” Mione said slowly.
“Is
everything all right?”
“Um...
well...” Hermione took a deep breath and said quietly.
“They're
divorced...as of Tuesday.” she said rearranging the food on her plate.
“Oh
sweetheart, why didn’t you say anything?” said Aunt Emma...everyone else going
quiet.
“Because
it’s been going on for so long I didn’t want to think about it anymore...I mean
You
knew about the fighting right?”
“Yes
but she never told me she was planning on divorcing your father.”
“Well
they always fought, but last summer.... Dad left, Mom went back to school, open
Her
own practice and has been Busy...I haven't seen or heard from my...Dad since
last
Year...I
just really don’t want to talk about. They’re finally divorced and it was
probably for
The
best.” said Mione sadly. By the look in her eyes Harry and the others could
tell
There
was more but that was for Mione to tell them when she was ready. Aunt Emma
Quickly
changed the subject.
After
breakfast Cho, Ron, Mione and Harry flooed to the Grounds, The rest went with
Alex and his friends by Apatarated. They all met at the Park...the game were in
Pluma's National Forest over 200 miles from Sacramento. Northern California was
ideal for the game because of all the Parks and forest. . The grounds around
the pitch where already crowded. The four stepped out of the fireplace on the campgrounds
and followed the directions Alex had given them to find the Tent where they
would be staying. Luckily, they found it quickly and put their belongings away.
The tent was Hugh with about 20 rooms all together. The four plus Mione’s
cousins and their friends went to explore before the game started. Mr.
& Mrs. Hamilton went to talk to their Wizarding friends. Harry and the
others meet allot of their Friends from Hogwarts. They saw Neville Longbottom,
Lee Jordan, Collin Creevey and his brother Dennis and many others. All stopping
to chat and Mione’s introduced her cousins. Unlike Europe, The US was more
liberal about Muggles...letting Wizards and Witches with Muggle family be able
to see and do things that Wizards and Witches. When the game started, it was as
amazing as before. The Bulgaria brought their Mascots, which had no effect on
Matt and Mr. Hamilton ironically enough. The San Francisco Lion’s had Wizard
and Witches Cheerleaders.
Which amazed Harry and the others having
never experienced an American Quidditch game? The game was long lasting 5 days.
The score was close on both sides...the lead changing every couple of hours.
All the Alternates where used most of the players being Injured at lest once a
day. Therefore, the medi witches and wizards had their work cut out for them
(no pun intended). Harry and the others slept in shifts of 4 hours so not to
miss anything. The last day was the best. All the original players back...both
Viktor and Misia where neck and Neck going for the snitch...When it dove so did
they...Misia catching it Just before pulling up 1 foot from the ground before
crashing...Viktor not making it as soon as she stopped she jumped off her broom
to check on Viktor. The medi people swarming around him luckily only his
shoulder and collar bone where broke. Misia breathing a sign of relief. When
the Lion’s came to get the Cup the roar from the crowd was deafen...Mione happy
for her cousin. Hugging her for a great Job and for winning for her team.
Afterward the game everyone went back to the Hamilton’s for a celebration
party. Viktor and some of his team mates where there too at Misia request. Much
to Mione’s surprise her mother was their as was her Uncle Erik and his family.
It turned out that Mione’s uncle and Family where Wizards and Witches too. Both
his sons Seth and Samuel going to school at Orion too. Seth being 14 and Sam
being 15. Erik was head of the department of Muggle Affairs His wife Sara was a
medi nurse at Mount Hope Hospital in Los Angeles. They had gotten there the day
before. Emily wanting to take too both of them took them to the Library.
The party lasted all day. After about an
hour Harry could tell Mione had wanted to see her Mom. Therefore, Harry being
the man that he was went to find her. He found Mrs. Granger and the others
still in the Library. Harry Knocked before enter. Emily telling him to enter.
They all smiled. Harry realizing how much they all looked alike. Both Carol and
Emily where the same height...5’ 7” All
of them had the same color eyes and Mrs.
Grangers hair being a darker shade of Blond like Moines’s there something you
need Harry?” asked Emily.
“Mione just wants to see her Mom?”
“OK,
where done here...So Emily tells me you two are dating?”
“
Yes,
Mama.”
“OK,
be good to her, Hurt her and I’ll hurt you...understand?” Carol said evenly.
“Yes.
Mrs. Granger. I’d never do anything to hurt her...I love her.”
“Good,
my daughter will do great things and I don’t want you messing that up for
her...She means everything to me, but I want you to know I like you Harry I
always have as does my sister here. Mione’s going to be going through many
changes and I know she’ll need someone like you in her life. So please don’t
cause her any distress.”
“What
kind of changes?” asked Harry?
“You’ll
find out.” Carol said as they walked over to where Mione and the girls where
sitting looking at Bridal books, magazines and catalogs. Emily and Carol joined
the girls in helping Cho with her wedding that would be in 2 weeks. Cho’s
Mother had come too Apaterating to the Hamilton’s. As did Cho’s younger sister Mavis.
Harry went to join Ron and the other people elsewhere’s.
The
Following 2 weeks passed quickly for everyone concerned. Both the bridal shower
and dress rehearsal went well. Both Cho and Ron’s parents splitting the cost. The
previous year Mr. Weasley was promoted. Along with the promotion came a rather
large raise. The Weasley making the most of it. Ron had also spent the last two
summers helping Fred and George with their joke shop, which they had opened this
past summer. The store was a success and all three of the boys benefited. The
day of the wedding was beautiful. Harry was with Ron at his house while Mione
was with Cho. Both had their work cut out for them. Cho’s dress was gorgeous.
White, Long sleeved with a high neck, 6 foot train and backless. The vale was a
wreath of yellow and white roses and a vale that reached her neck. Mione was in
a dress of Pale pink, short Just reaching above the knee, It had an empire
waist, the skirt loose and flowing, with spaghetti straps. Mavis, (Cho’s sister)
Fleur, (Cho’s friend) Misia, Sydney (Cho’s cousin) in the same dresses only in
yellow.
Cho
was especially nervous...getting sick every few minutes. Her mother made her a
potion that would settle her stomach and nerves.
Meanwhile at the Wesley’s Ron was driving
Harry, George, Fred, Bill and Charlie crazy. Ron was in a Black Tuxedo suit
with white shirt, black tie, pants and Cumberland and shoes. Harry in a gray Tuxedo
with white shirt, gray pants, Cumberland, and shoes, Ron’s brothers in Tuxedo’s
of navy blue. All five people decided to
put Ron in a full body Bind so that he could relax and shut up.
The ceremony was at 1:00 p.m. Ron and the
other’s appaterating to the Codswell Park. Where it was held. There where over
200 people there. Ron stood at the altar, looking green while Harry and the
others stood waiting for it to begin. Thankfully, the ceremony was short only
lasting about a 1/2 an hour. Relief showed on Ron’s face as he watched Cho walk
down the isle. Harry awed by Hermione’s appearance. Harry prayed his wedding day
with Hermione would be just as great. After the vows where said, rings
exchanged, and the receiving line was over. Ron and Cho set off in a black
limo. Leaving Harry and the other’s time to kill until the reception at 5:00.
The reception was at the Marquette Hall on
the west side of London. Most guests opting to arrive by car or apateration. It
was beautiful inside. The rooms hold over 200 people. There where chandlers
hanging from the ceiling and ornamental candles along the wall. The tables
where round each holding 12 people, white china flatware and real
silverware. The hall was done up with
White. Yellow and Pink roses of all assortment. The head table to the right of
the room and the dance floor and stage to the left. By 6:00, everyone was
there. In addition, they began to serve the food, which was delicious. Harry
stood up and said
Excuse me everyone can I have you
attention please...I’d like to say my toast for Ron and Cho.”
Everyone’s
head turned to look at Harry.
“I’ve
have known Ron for over 6 years now and in that time I have found out what a
truly brave. Intelligent and courageous person he is although his looks may
leave something left to be desired.”
Everyone
laughed
“I’ve
known Cho for 2 years now and in that time, I have discovered what an
Honorable, Caring and Understanding person she is and I know her looks leave nothing
left to be desired.”
The
crowd laughed
“Anyhow
I know that these 2 friends will have a great marriage, both will be on the
same side of the fence, both will have Joy, Luck and Success through out their
lives and I know that they will fill each other’s Desire to the fullest. May
all your days be filled with hope, love and eternal bliss, Congratulations Ron
and Cho...Cheer’s.”
Everyone clapped...Both Ron and Cho Kissed,
which made everyone happy. When Harry sat down. He turned and looked at Mione.
Tears where in the corners of her eyes she smile and mouthed, “I love you”.
Harry smile and Mouthed “I love you too.”
After dinner was finished, The DJ
Announced the Wedding Party to start the dance. Mione had been helping Ron the
past two week so that he could surprise Cho. They danced divinely, Harry and
Mione next followed by Fred and Sydney, Charlie and Fleur, George and Mavis,
then Bill and Misia, Followed by Mrs. and Mr. Weasley and Mr. and Mrs. Chang.
The following song Cho begged Mione to show her some of her moves and Mione
obliging. Everyone clapped when the song ended Cho giving Mione a hug. Earlier
in the Evening Sirius had arrived having missed the wedding because of work.
Harry had introduced Sirius to Mione’s family and something about the whole
scene had made him think something was going on. The way Carol, Emily and Erik
who had also come just didn’t sit right. Aunt Emma paled at first and Mrs.
Granger had a strange look to her eye, as did Erik. Later when Harry saw Sirius
and Carol dancing a sort of light went off in his head making him realize
something. Therefore, when he saw Sirius Look around and Him and Carol leave
the Hall Harry followed wanting to find out what was going on. Mione was
dancing with her cousin. Therefore, Harry went by himself. He found them outside
in the Garden. It was a moon less night with the stars shining dimly. They
where sitting on a bench talking quietly.
I
don’t want to tell her yet,” said Sirius.
“And
I feel the same way she has a hard enough time dealing with the divorce she
doesn’t need more turmoil. After her and Harry find out both will be upset with
you and myself...I can’t lie that burned on her shoulders I think we should
wait till they are back in Hogwarts.”
“Yes,
It’s for the best...But I’ve waited years Carol...I don’t want to wait for much
longer, Voldemort will be coming for them soon...He doesn’t know about Mione
but that won’t last much Longer...If you two could just leave I’d feel a lot
better. Neither one of them knows how important they are to one another nor am I
not sure how to explain it. Had I not gone too...?”
“Don’t
say it I hate to even hear that name...I’m just thankful that Peter was caught.”
“But
you where still with him...”
“Please
forgive me...I didn’t have a choose it was either be with you or have my
brother hate me and I couldn’t help but believe Erik...had he known the whole
truth...When Lily and James had Died the next year I couldn’t help but believe
what Erik had said...then Erik got the owl. How was I to know or any of us for
that matter...But your here now and there’s nothing to stop us from being together and I think
Harry is very Lucky to have you for a Godfather...not many people would face
danger for their friends they way you have and come out on top.”
After
that, Harry walked away... He sat down thinking about what Carol and Sirius said.
Realizing that both knew one another for a long time and had once been involved...But
what did they mean by him and Mione being important to one another. After
awhile Harry went back inside. He saw Mione talking to Ron, Cho and some other
Witches and Wizards. He walked up behind her Wrapped his arms around her and kissed
her on the neck. She shivered and turned to face him kissing him softly on the
lips. Her doe like eyes shining with love.
“I
want to get out of here...will you come with me?”
“Where
do you want to go?”
“I
want to show you something.”
“Trying
to take her away are you Harry,” said Ron with a grin.
“Yes
I want to get her alone so that I can propose.”
“Ha
very funny.” said Mione.
“Who
says I’m joking?” said Harry seriously.
“Really?”
“Come
on let’s go. Goodnight you two have a nice Honeymoon.”
“Thanks
we will,” said Cho.
Harry
hugged Cho and shook Ron’s hand. Mione hugging them both. They said goodnight
then left quietly. Once outside the building Harry put his arms around Hermione
and with a pop vanished. The Appeared in front of a large wrought iron gate. A
brick wall about 15 feet in height along both sides. The gates open, as they
appeared swinging open slowly.
“This
is my home. Come on it’s a bit of a walk as for apparating...I was taught how
last year. Dumbledore thought it best.”
“Because
of...V-V-Voldemort?”
“Yes.”
They
walked in silence for the next couple of minutes the House if you could call it
that was Huge. White stone, columns, porch, a large balcony from the second
floor that stretch across the entire front of the house. Several windows and
two large oak doors. With brass handles and knockers. Harry and Mione walked up
the steps and Harry pulled out a set of keys. He unlocked the doors and let
Mione enter first. The foyer was Hugh a staircase in the center a long hallway
to the right of it with doors on the left and right and one at the end of it.
On the left side was a set of double oak door the same to the right. On the left on the staircase were another
door and a table beside that with a phone on it and a vase full of fresh
Carnations of all colors in it. Mione stared in amazement. The door at the end
of the hallway swung open and a House elf came forward. She was dressed in an
emerald green dress that hung to the floor cover her shoes and had on a White
apron.
“Master
Harry...Web’s wasn’t expecting you till tomorrow...Is there something I can get
for you and your guest.”
“Yes,
Essie a pot of tea if you will and can you brings it to my office.”
“Yes
Master Harry, Mama.” she bowed as she hurried away. A look of Cold fury on
Mione’s face.
“Before
you start screaming first the entire house elf’s here are free to leave when
ever they want. Two, I pay them six galleons a week, which makes them the
highest paid house elf’s in England. Three they work 5 days a week and have two
days of plus 4 weeks paid vacation and I pay for all their expenses.”
“You
do all that for them?” asked Mione cautiously.
“Yes,
my family has had them for years they where my great-great grandparent’s and I’d
like to keep them even if they can’t cook as well as you. Come on lets go to my
office.”
Mione
smiled as Harry lead her to the door on the right side of the foyer. She walked
in a looked around. There where four tall windows across from the door. The
room was 30x15 a fireplace to the right and the left wall was completely covered
with books. A large Maple desk was in the left corner and Chairs, Sofas where
all around. A large maple table with 12 chairs was to the right of the room.
Mione took a seat on the sofa nearest the fireplace. Harry lit the fire as
Essie walked in the deposited the tray on the coffee table in front of Mione
bowed and scurried out of the room. Harry sat beside Mione. He turned to face
her taking her hands into his. In addition, kissed her softly on the lips. They
stayed like this for a few moments then Harry leaned back.
I
want you to know what I asked you earlier I meant it...There’s no one else for
me, but
Like
I said before I won’t rush you.” Harry said taking a deep breath.
“The
reason I brought you here tonight is because I need your help, but I want you
to
Know
that you don’t have too. I go to find my family. I know school starts in 3
weeks
and
most likely I won’t be returning till I’ve found them, If you want to stay
after that I
Would
really appreciate it, but if you go back to school that’s fine too. You have
time to
Decided
on that and everything else too for that matter.”
“Of
course I’ll help, as for school I don’t know Harry, I need to think about it.”
“OK
that’s cool.”
“So
where should we start?”
“Here...in
this house...This is the last place my grandmother Ana, Great-uncle Fred and
Uncle
Jeff where seen...Let me tell you what I know about my Mom’s family then you
Can
tell me what you think.
First
this house Belonged too my Great- Grandfather Lord Byron Thomas McReily and
His
Wife Lady Alchemillia Iris Faithaven. They had three children. Wilhelm Arthur
McReily,
Tulip
Hazel McReily and Lobelia Viola McReily. Will was the oldest, Tulip and Bella
Where
Twins. Lady Millie was a witch as was Tulip and Will. Bella and Byron weren’t.
The
Lord knew his wife was a witch and was cool about it. Twins run in the family.
Lady
Millie
had a twin brother Named Mitchell. Any way, Both Will and Bella where killed by
The
dark wizard at that time, as was Millia’s brother 20 years earlier. Tulip was
the only
The
only child left. Byron left her His title, Inheritance and Houses. As did
Millia. When
Tulip
was 16 she met Joshua Quinn McGuire he was 20. They Married 2 months after
They
met and twins nine months later. Anemone Lilac McGuire and Alyssum Delphinium
McGuire.
Ana was the only Muggle every one else Magical.
At the age of 16 she married
A
man named Franklin Edward Evans. They
had Petunia Holly Evans 2 years later Came
Lillie
Magnolia Evans and Jeffery Evans. Frank had a younger brother Fredrik Lee
Evans.
Both Frank and Ally where killed in May 30, 1984. Frank was a Muggle as was
Ana
but both Ally and Fred where magical. Something I have figured is one at least
one
Magical
and One Muggle of my Family Die because of the Dark Wizard of that time.
Two
is that at least one of the twins dies, Three that Muggle born’s and Wizards
run
Thought
out my family and lastly and this is really important is I need to find my
Grandmother,
Uncle and great Uncle is because either one, they have my twin and are
Protecting
him or her or my mom had twins before me and they have them and if that’s
The
case...I need to find them before Voldemort does.”
“Do
you really think so...?”
There’s
no doubt it all makes sense...From the time my grandfather died until she
married
My
dad and had me was about 3 years. Where did Ana, Fred and Jeff go why was she
missing and didn’t come back until December of 84? See here’s what I think
happened.
Voldemort was after my mom and her family. Therefore,
he kills my grandfather and Great Aunt.
My
mom knows she’s pregnant so she splits taking Jeff, Ana and Fred with her. She
has
The
twins. Leaves them with her Family comes back marries my day and has me then
dies
A
year later. The only part I don’t understand is how I survived or even Why Voldemort
is
After
me. There has to be something in my family that makes us...unique why else
would
So
many of us die because of Dark Wizards...I need to find out what before it’s
too late.
That’s
why I need your help I can’t do this alone and you’re the only one I can trust
besides
Ron.”
“First
I think we should make a list...We need to do a detailed Family history
covering
Both
your mom and Dad’s Family. Second, we need Journals, Newspapers, and History
books
Anything
you can find on your family and their past what they did, who they where with,
etc.
etc. this will take some work Harry but I think you can do it OK.”
Yes,
How about we sleep now and start on this in the Morning.”
“Sounds
good.”
They
both walked up the steps and went to the right. The last door down the long
hall
Harry
opened and Mione enter. The room was beautiful. Done in various shades of
green,
There
where Dressers, Chairs, Sofas all about the room and King size bed to the left
of
The
room. Mione realized she hadn’t any clothes. Before she could say something
Harry
Walked
to the armoire and handed her a pale blue silk nightgown.
“I
think this was my Grandmother’s is this OK?”
“Yes,
Fine thanks you.”
“No
thanks needed, I’ll go change in the other room. You don’t have too.”
“Are
you sure?” asked Harry seriously.
“Yes.”
she said as she began taking off her dress.
“OK.”
He said with smile.
That
Night both Harry and Mione didn’t get much sleep. However, neither minded too
much.
The following morning after a couple of hours,
sleep. Harry and Mione woke up. Harry kissing Mione awake.
“Good
morning.” said Harry.
“Good
Morning.” mumbled Mione.
“You
fill up to running?” asked Harry.
“Sure...I’ll
need some clothes.”
“I
have some you can wear.” He leaned over and Kissed her softly on the lips.
“I
love you,” he whispers.
“I
love you too.”
At that time, Essie came in carrying a Pot
of coffee two mugs and all the fixing. She asked in her high-pitched voice.
“Will
Master Harry and Mistress Granger being wanting breakfast?”
“When
we get back from our run Essie...I think in the garden...Have you and the others
Had
your days off?”
“Neither
Clara, Ralph, Snyder, or Myself.”
“Then
you for need too...today...here’s some money...go get yourselves something
Nice.”
“Thank
you Master Harry...Master Harry is too kind.”
“No
problem...Essie goes now...have a nice day.”
“Yes,
Master Harry...thank you...Will Mistress Granger be needing anything?”
“No,
Essie I’m good.” said Mione.
“Very
well...good day Master Harry, Mistress Granger.”
She
hurried out of the room. Harry and Mione dressed in their sweats and went for a
run around the property. Since it was dark last night, Mione couldn’t see the Yard.
It like the house was Very stately. Placed on the Southern tip of Scotland. The
property was a least
5
miles around. With archers upon archers of land. Their was a view of the ocean
on the left, woods approximately 2 miles from the house and a pond about a mile
away. The front Yard starting at the gate was about a 1/4 of a mile from the
house. The brink wall going all around the property in a 5-mile radius, turning
into wrought Iron to the left and right until it reached the woods. Directly
behind the House was a patio, Olympic size pool with diving boards. A covered
Patio with about 20 round tables each hold 10 chairs chairs and chase lounges
around the pool and a garden leading to right. There was a tennis court, to the
right and a place to play croquette. When they got back. They showered and
dressed for the day. They went out to the garden to find both Sirius and Carol
there.
You
2 have a nice run?” asked Sirius.
“Yes,
I’m sorry I didn’t tell you where I was going...I knew you where preoccupied
with something.” Harry said looking at Mrs. Granger.
“That’s
OK Harry, But in the future, don’t worry about interrupting Sirius, I have to
say you have a beautiful home here.”
“Thank
you Mrs. Granger will you be joining us for breakfast?”
“If
it’s not and Inconvenience?” said Carol.
“No
not at all.” Harry and Mione took their seats. Mione asking
“Is
everything alright Mom...I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I left...I wasn’t
thinking.”
“That’s
fine sweetheart...and yes we do need to talk to you both, but that can wait
till later.”
“OK.”
said Mione looking confused.
The
four ate breakfast quietly. Not really knowing what to say. Both Harry and
Mione feeling bad about not telling Carol and Sirius they left last night but
both wondering why They where together too. Sirius and Carol feel strange about
the News they had to tell their Kids. After Breakfast, they went back to Sirius’s
Carol and Sirius by appaterating. Harry and Mione by floo. When they got out of
the fireplace it was to find several people their. Dumbledore, Arabella Figg,
Remus Lupin and Many others that both Harry and Mione didn’t know.
Good
Morning Harry, Miss Granger...I trust you had a good time last night?”
Harry
and Mione looked at one another and both started laughing; fall off the couch
and on to the floor, staying like this for several minutes. When they both
calmed down. The other’s looking at them in surprise not knowing what to say.
Dumbledore spoke one more.
“Now
that you got that out of your...system. All of us are here to help you with
your search Harry. Now I’d like to introduce some of the people you don’t know
in this room. First I’d like you too meet, Beverly and Benjamin Lupin” A tall

eyes stood up both shaking Harry’s and Mione’s hands.
“Next,

Preston, Bill and Casey Pixel, Mike Zoloft and Adam Mitchell.”
Charlotte

The
group of people greeted both Harry and Mione. Telling both of them how happy,
they are to meet them.
“Now
that the intro.’s have been made let’s get started all the people here where
friends with your mother and Uncle Harry. Each will be able to tell you things

investigating...understood?”
“Yes,
headmaster.” said Mione and Harry.
Chapter
3: School Days Anew
Three
days before school began Mione made a rather interesting discovery. She had
been staying a Mc Reiley Hall for the past several weeks, with her mother’s
permission of course. When she walked into the closest to get her clothes for
the day, she accidentally stumbled over some shoes. Causing the wall to the
right too open. She walked over to the opening and looked inside to see black
metal stairs winding down into the darkness. She took out her wand and said
“Luminous”, lighting the end, then began to descend the staircase. It went down
a long way most likely to the basement. When she reached, the bottom there was
a hallway with three doors. One too the left, one too the right and one across
from where she stood. She went to the door on the left to find it locked, as
was the door in the center. She tried “alohamoria” but with no success. The
door to the right was unlocked. She walked in to find a room filled with books.
Two times the size of the library upstairs. Wall to wall books from ceiling to
floor. The room had one large wooden table with six chairs around it. Two
recliners and one sofa. Mione walked to the wall on the right a grabbed one of
the books. By the look of the cover, she could tell it was very old. She opened
it up and began to read; realizing soon enough that it was a journal. Not, just
any Journal but a journal of one of Harry’s ancestors. Belonging too Harold
Arthur Faithaven, Tulip’s grandfather. Mione went to the shelf a grabbed some
more books. All of them Journals and All of them telling about their lives and
family. Mione ending up reading four Journals in the 3 hours she spent down
there not realizing how much time had passed or even thinking about Harry. When
she finished reading the fourth book the Journal of Harry’s great grandmother
Tulip she saw Harry sitting across from her at the table reading a book as
well. She cleared her throat and he looked up and smiled.
“I
was wondering when you would find this place.” Said Harry with a smile.
“Are
there other’s?” asked Mione.
“Yes,
8 total…there’s another room like this... Journals are from the B.C. Time
period. As for the other 6, 3 are vaults and the other 3 are just regular
rooms, Essie told me having been here for the past 500 years…she knows every
nook and cranny of this place.”
“Who
built this house?”
“Lord
Macmillan Dylan McReily, hence the name McReily Hall. He would be my great
times 10 grandfather sometime in the 12th century. It was for his
Wife Julia. She was a Witch. Lord Mack was a muggle…he didn’t care though. He
loved her very much. I think of all the Journal I read I really enjoyed hers
the most. She was a poet and a seer…she wrote all her predictions in the form
of poems…here let me get the books.” Harry got up and walked to the wall on the
left. He grabbed four books and then went to take a seat on the couch Mione
getting up from her chair at the table and joining him and he began to read:
FLOWERS IN
THE WIND
The
Flowers of the wind Grow in time
To
evolve to become creatures of the Light
The
Light affecting their way of life
A
Cursed life one filled with Pain
In
addition, Misery that causes the Flowers to wilt
And
Die before ones Time
These
Flowers represent all that is Good
All
that is pure…All that is true…
With
The curse that cause all the pain and sorrow
One
can only hope that a cure can be found…
In
time a Generation of Flowers will release
The
magic that is inside all…Only then will the light be
A
source Of Good rather then evil…One hopes that all can be saved
That
the horrors that have controlled the Flowers for centuries
Will
be reversed by four exceptional Elements of the flowers
The
Dove who will heal all wounds
The
Goat who will resurrect
The
Lion who will change Time it self
And
the Sparrow who will unite them all
J.A.L
1223DEC23
“I
think the animals represent animigi…But it doesn’t say which generation…We know
your father was one but what about your mother or uncle or your grandmother or
grandfather.”
“I
don’t know…I’ve been trying to figure that out myself…I have a books on how to
become animigi so looking at that it means that the type of person your are is
the type of animal you will be…going by my profile I would be the Lion…I would
assume My brother and Sister would be the Dove and the Goat…as for the
sparrow…No clue…maybe another relative...In time I should be able to find out.”
“I’ll
help…I asked my cousin to help too…since your mom lived in the same area when
she was young…They wanted to Know if you wanted to get together tonight…Summer
ending and all…They have a beach party every year for labor day weekend which
starts today and last all weekend.”
“Sure
sounds Cool.”
“Ok…Did
you want to read some more books? I need to get dressed.” Said Mione looking at
her pink dressing gown.
“Need
help?” said Harry with a grin.
“Sure.”
Said Mione with a small smile.
It
wasn’t until late afternoon that Mione finally got into her day clothes. Her
and Harry Flooed to her cousin at 6:00 p.m. When they Arrived at the Hamiltons.
They found many people already there. Mione’s Uncle Erik and His family. Her
Mom and Sirius (who where now officially a couple) Alex and His friends. Misia
and her friends. All where out side the. The Adults would be stay at the
Hamilton’s while the Kids would be at Ensign Beach, which was about a 20
minutes away from the house. They would be taking four SUV’s to the beach. Ron
and Cho where back from their Honeymoon. So they were with the Group as well, As
was Fred and George. They left at 8:00 p.m.
And
Arrived at the Beach by 8:30 Harry Driving the Expeditor. Alex, Misia and
Beanie the other 3. There where approximately 200 people on that beach. Music
boomed from cars and radios. There was a large bomb fire in the sand, BBQ’s
with Chicken, Fish, Steaks and other meats. A long table piled with food.
People where swimming, dancing, Surfing, and Chilling. It amazed all the
Englanders. Not accustom to the American way of life. Mione and Alex changed
into wetsuits and took of for the waves. Harry, Fred and George ended up just
talking to Various Muggles, Witches and Wizards. Mione eventually took a break
and found Harry surrounded by a group of Older Wizard and Witches in their
20’s. She put her arms around his stomach and he turned around and wrapped his
arms around her. He put his Hand on her head and she rested it on his chest.
“I
love you.” He whispered in her ear.
“I
love you too.” She whispered back.
“Will
you marry me?” he asked as he released his arms around her and got down on one
knee in front of her. The other people look at them in amazement all quieting
to hear her response.
“You’re
serious?”
“Yes.”
He said as
her reached inside of his shorts pocket to pull out a small blue box. He opened
it up to reveal a four Caret Black Sabrina Diamond. Princess cut with four
Sapphires around it on a 24 caret gold band.
She
smiled as tears formed at the corners of her eyes and nodded her head too
stunned to speak. He Placed the ring on her finger, Stood up, put His hands on
the side of her Head, and kissed her gently on the lips. The others clapping
and cheering. Alex and Heather (Alex’s Girlfriend), Misia and Viktor.
“What’s
going on?” asked Alex looking at Harry and Mione who Where still kissing. Mione
pulled back and smiling at her cousin. Misia looked at Mione and noticed the
Rock of a diamond on her Finger and Squealed with delight. Running over to her
a giving her a big Hug before saying
“OH
my god did this just happen you’re not Pregnant?” she asked a worried on her
face.
“excuse
me… pause, rewind and freeze…Harry if you knocked up my cusp…I’m going to rip
you a new one.” Said Alex looking fierce. Ron and Cho Joining the group as well
as Fred, George, and some of Alex and Misia friends. All looking Ready to Jump
at the twins command.
“Alex
not that it’s your business, But I’m not pregnant…He just proposed alright. Even
if I was, Pregnant It doesn’t mean I have to get married. I’m not my mother.”
Misia, Cho and Heather All looking at Mione’s ring on her left hand. As did the
other Girls.
“What
do you mean by that?” asked Harry.
“I
know that’s why my parents got divorced…I don’t think my dad Charles was my
biological father.”
“How
do you know?” asked Alex.
“Blood
test…my mom is +A, I’M +AB, Charles is –O.”
“Do
you know who?” asked Misia.
“Yes…or
a least I’m waiting for him and my mom to tell me.” Mione said looking at
Harry.
“Sirius?”
questioned Harry.
“Well
unless my mom was sleeping with another wizard. I don’t know why they won’t
tell me or you for that matter, If Everyone will excuse us I’d like to be alone
with my Fiancée.” Said Mione taking Harry’s hand and walking away. They spent
the rest of the night together. Mione had set up a tent earlier; they stayed
there the rest of the night. Harry holding Mione in his arms until she fell
asleep.
Mione
woke to the sound of the waves and her Favorite song “Angel” By Amanda Perez
(here are the Lyrics:
ANGEL [3:38]
IT’S BEEN FIVE MONTHS
SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
LEFT WITHOUT A WORD AND NOTHING TO SAY
WHEN I WAS THE ONE
WHO GAVE YOU MY HEART AND SOUL
BUT IT WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU
NO, OH
SO I ASKED GOD
GOD SENT ME AN ANGEL
FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE
SENT ME AN ANGEL
TO HEAL MY BROKEN HEART
FROM BEING IN LOVE
CAUSE ALL I DO IS CRY
GOD SENT ME AN ANGEL
TO WIPE THE TEARS FROM MY EYES
AND I KNOW I MIGHT SOUND CRAZY
BUT AFTER ALL THAT
I STILL LOVED YOU
YOU WANT TO COME BACK IN MY LIFE
BUT NOW THERE’S SOMETHING THAT I HAVE TO DO
I HAVE TO TELL THE ONE THAT I ONCE ADORED
THAT THEY CAN’T HAVE MY LOVE NO MORE
CAUSE MY HEART CAN’T TAKE
NO MORE LIES
AND MY EYES ARE ALL OUT OF CRIES
SO GOD
NOW YOU HAD ME ON MY KNEES
BEGGING GOD PLEASE
TO SEND YOU BACK TO ME
I COULDN’T EAT
I COULDN’T SLEEP
AND YOU MADE ME FEEL
LIKE I COULD NOT BREATHE
WHEN ALL I WANTED TO DO
WAS FEEL YOUR TOUCH
AND TO GIVE YOU ALL MY LOVE
BUT YOU TOOK MY LOVE FOR GRANTED
WANT MY LOVIN NOW
BUT YOU CAN’T HAVE IT
OH, GOD )
Mione opened her eyes to see Harry awake too. He leaned forward and kissed her lips.
“I think this should be our wedding song what do you think?”
“Yes, It’s my favorite…It reminds me of you….I feel that you’re my Angel…When exactly did you want to get married.”
“I thought maybe a year from now. If that sounds good to you? Unless you want to do it sooner maybe Christmas breaks or Easter breaks.”
“Easter sounds good, But I don’t think my mother won’t let me till I 18.”
“Don’t worry I’ll convince her.” Said Harry as he leaned over her and kissed her gently on the lips. At that moment, the sounds of Shouting could be heard. A moment later Alex and Misia jumped into the tent and said:
“Harry you two need to get out of here. There’s Death eaters coming from the east side of the beach.”
Before
they could say, anything Misia put her arms around Harry and Alex put his arms
around Mione, with a pop they vanished. They Appeared in front of small stone
cottage.
“Where
are we?” asked Mione.
“Dumbledore’s
house… doesn’t ask just follow us,” said Alex walking up to the White wooden
door. He rang the doorbell and a few seconds later. Young women answered. She
was tall 5’ 8” with long curly black/brown hair that fell past her shoulders
and Midnight blue eyes, petite figure. She appeared to be in her 20’s. She
smiled:
“Hi
Alex what are you doing here?” asked the women.
“There
was an attack… we brought them here.” Said Misia
“Ok
follow me.” She pulled the door wider and let them pass threw. Unlike the exterior,
the house was larger then it appeared from the outside. The entrance hall was
large the ceiling at least 15ft high. The interior was wood paneled. There was
a door to the left a door to the right and a staircase in the center to the
left of the staircase was a hallway with two more doors one the left and one at
the end of the hall. The young women lead them down the hall and to the door at
the end into the Kitchen.
“By
the way I’m Bella…It’s nice to meet you two finally…Alby and the others have
kept me informed about you.”
Just
then, Alby, Erik, and a blond haired man walked into the room. Dumbledore
smiled as did Erik and the other man.
“Good
morning Alex, What brings you here on such a lovely day?” asked Albus.
“There
was an attack you said if anything happened to bring them here…that’s alright?”
asked Alex.
“Yes
that fine…Hello Mione, Harry. I trust you two are ok.”
“Fine
sir, But what may I ask is going on?” asked Mione.
“You’re
Cousins or shall I say Harry’s brother and sister were told to make sure
nothing happened to you,” said Dumbledore with a smile.
“I
think you two are ready for the whole story, let’s retire to the garden and I
can tell you two over Breakfast. Mione and Harry I’d also like you to meet My
Youngest son Benjamin and His wife Bella who is also Harry’s cousin. She is
your Great-Aunt Ally’s daughter. Follow me.” said Dumbledore. As he walked out
the sliding glass door. They others followed quickly. The gardens were
beautiful. There was a stone patio just outside the doors. With five large
round tables that held at 10-12 to a table. The garden to the left was done
entirely of white flowers, the one to the right was pink and center was a variety
of colors. Dumbledore took a seat at the closest one and the others followed
suit. A house elf came out carry a tray of Tea and cups. , another following
with a silverware and flatware. Then the first one went in a came back out with
a large platter filled with food. After they left, Dumbledore spoke,
“Now
I’m sure both you two are wondering what’s going on. All I ask is that you wait
until then end of the story before you ask your questions. All of us here will
try to answer them as best as we could. Ok so now I’ll tell you Harry about
your Family History as it was told to me by your Grandmother Ana. Around the
time of 300 B.C, there was a Great Wizard by the name of Damian Dade Holocaust.
He was able to learn spells, cast enchantments and do anything magical within
seconds. Like some gifted people. Dade became obsessed with Power. This
eventually turned him into the direction of the dark arts. Wanting immortality
and To be the most powerful was all that he lived for all that he strived for
and nothing nor anyone would get in his…If you did not follow him you where
then his enemy. From 325 B.C until 343 B.C. He killed over 3 million people…Not
just witches and wizards but muggles too. He also made the four of the five
unforgivable. And they are the following:
The
Cruciatus Curse…which is used to cause Physical pain to another by using magic,
The
Imperius Curse…Which is used to take possession of one’s mind by magic,
The
Damian Curse…Which is used to Kill a soul, and you can’t exist without a soul,
Lastly is the Warlock’s curse Although It does no Physical harm what is does is
invades one’s bloodstream and effect the DNA of it’s victim. How it affects
them is by making them and their decedents marked Target for Dark wizards and
witches. As for the other unforgivable Avada Kedavra…That is the killing Curse,
which kills both body and soul. Both Cruciatus and Imperius can be fought as
for the other 3 there is no defense.”
“Now
Harry what you need to know is that you have the Warlock’s Curse…Just as the
rest of your family was given this curse. It is for one reason and one reason
only…it’s because of you and your families are the Guardians of the Source. The
Source is what gives all magical's their powers. How you carry, it is in your
soul. That is why Dark Wizards are drawn to you. If you would ever turn to Dark
Magic…the Source would be dark too. Therefore making all magical’s dark. Do you
understand?”
“Yes
I think so.,” said Harry.
“Next
Miss Granger…The part you play in this is as great as Harry’s and His relations
if not more important. In the early 12th century, there was a Seer
by the Name of Julia Ellen McReily. You two might have read her works.”
Harry
and Mione nodded their head.
“Good
did you read the poem entitled Flowers in the wind?”
“Yes.”
Said Mione.
“Well
we believe and when I say we I mean myself and the rest of the order, think you
are the Sparrow. After what you said about reading, any Language there wasn’t a
doubt in my mind. Now I have a letter you can read…if you can translate it…it
will help solve some other mysteries that need to be addressed.” Dumbledore
pulled out a piece of parchment from his robes pocket. He handed Mione the
letter and she began to read.
Dear Sparrow,
Hello, my name is Julia McReily. If
you can read this letter…then I can assume you are the sparrow for only the
Sparrow can read this letter. I Hope this finds you well. The reason I’m
writing to you is to inform you of a task you must complete. The task must be
completed By October 30, 2004. The four Objects you need to find are as follows.
The Horn of a Unicorn that has given birth to twin Foals.
Two scales off a Hungarian Horntail
that has died in battle.
Three Pieces of Hair off a newborn
mermaid.
And Four Tail feathers of a 2000 year
old Phoenix.
Once you have the Objects you need to
combine them into a potion. , Using the tears of the Phoenix. This will need to
be done on the Dawn of All Halloo’s Eve. You, the Lion, the Goat and the Dove
must take it once it is done. Once you take the potion, you will be taken back
to where it all began. You have 12 hours to change History, as you know it,
put, and end to all evil. By doing this you will release the true Magic of the
Source for the greater good. I wish you four good luck and hope to see you in
good health.
Sincerely,
Julia Andrea McReily
“Can
you read it Miss Granger?” asked Dumbledore.
“Yes,
I’ll read it to you.” She read the letter and everyone listen then Harry said
dryly.
“Well
at least we still have one more year to find all this…Professor How old is
Fawkes?”
“He’ll
be 2000 in September 30, 2004 and I don’t believe he’ll mind parting with some
feathers or tears if that was going to be your next question also in light of
the recent events. I’ll owl the rest of your family and you can meet them
tomorrow. Do you two have anymore questions?”
“Just
one are Harry and I related?” asked Mione.
“No,
Since Sirius and Jon potter where half brothers. That’s how Mione is related to
Alex and Misia. Jon was the twin’s father.”
“Was?”
asked Harry.
“Yes,
he died soon after their birth. He was a death eater and James killed him.
James was an Auror, He tried to bring him in but Jon fought him and tried to
kill James, but wasn’t quick enough.”
“Who’s
Sirius and Jon’s father?” asked Mione.
“Tom
Riddle…which in turn makes you three heirs of Slytherin and Descendents of
Holocaust strangely enough the fact that both Alex and Mione are both 2 of the
four Flowers is even more puzzling.”
“Wait
don’t you mean 3?” asked Mione.
“No
I mean 2 Misia isn’t part…Bella is the Dove.”
“Wow
could this be anymore tangled…Next thing you’ll tell us is that my parent’s
aren’t dead.”
“Well.
. . Have any of you heard of cryostats?” asked Ben.
“Yes
it’s when a person body is frozen after death so as to be brought back at a
later time. Is that why there where no bodies?” asked Mione.
“Yes
. . . as soon as we find the soul retrieval spell we can revive them…but we may
never find it, but there’s hope. We’ve made significant gains in the past 1000
years…It’s just takes a lot of magic hopefully you four will be able to do it.”
For
the rest of the morning and afternoon Harry, Alex, Bella and Mione made plans
for their upcoming quest. Albus and the others provided them with the necessary
notebooks and works of their ancestors so as two find the answers for what they
needed to do. They had been working on a counter curse for the Warlocks Curse
Since they had been infected with it. Harry also found out a lot about his
family. It turned out that his Aunt Petty and Uncle Vernon had always known
where his grandmother and great-uncle, but it had to remain secret. Mione’s Uncle
Eric Knew where Jeff was hiding. Harry was a little upset by this but remained
calm. As for how the twins and end up with Mione’s aunt and uncle that was
Jeff’s doing since he was friends with Eric. Now that Mione and Harry found out
the truth, the rest of the order came later to help with the project. Harry and
Mione also told everyone else on their plans to marry in the spring. Carol and
Sirius took the news well. Everyone congratulated them.
~~~
The following day was very exciting. Bella, Ben, Misia, Alex, Petty and Dudley had stayed at McReily Hall last night. At Noon, the rest of Harry’s family would meet there. Dudley had been surprised that not only his mother was a witch but that her family was so rich. At 12:00 pm sharp, the doorbell rang. Harry went to answer it. Too his surprise he found not three people but seven instead. Harry has to meet not only His grandmother Ana but also his great uncle Fred whom she had married and their Son Kevin. His uncle Jeff came with his wife Beverly Lupin and their twin girls Magnolia Corrine and her sister Holly Viola. Keith was 15, Tall and gangly with Black Hair and Blue eyes. He was a wizard and went to Oleander’s in Nova Scotia. Maggie and Holly where both 14 years old. They had long blond hair and Bright green eyes like Harry's. They where both witches and went to school In Salem, MA. The day went well everyone talking and getting to know one another all over again. They told each other stories. Harry found out that the following day Keith, Maggie and Holly would be accompanying him to Hogwarts. Later in the evening Sirius, Carol and the other member of the order came to visit. They all had a great time catching up and telling old stories. Harry surprised to find out both his mom and uncle got into so much trouble when they where kids. The rest of the family congratulated Harry and Mione on their engagement. After a while, Harry and the other kids retired for the night so as to get up early for the next day.
~
The following morning came all too soon. Mione checking to make sure they had everything. Harry and the other had to floo to Faithaven Manor in London. From there take a car to King’s Cross to board the Hogwarts Express. The scarlet steam engine that took them to Hogwarts. By 9:30, everyone was ready after having a very large breakfast. Harry surprised by both his twin cousins who could out eat half the family. Jeff and Beverly would take them there. They got to Faithaven Manor. Like McReily Hall, the place was enormous. Harry, Mione learned that Jeff and Bev would be living here. Kevin, Maggie and Holly where impressed. After a quick tour, the group took off for King’s Cross-. They arrived by 10:45. They got trolleys for their trunks and went to the barriers to platform 9 3/4. They had a few minutes to spare in which Jeff gave a Harry a small brown book.
“This was your mother’s she gave it too me to give to you if anything happened to her. All you have to do is right in it and a response will appear on the page.”
“Thank you.” said Harry kindly. They hall hugged and kissed good-bye. Then the kids boarded the train. They found a compartment at the end of the train and started to talk.
“How many houses are there again?” asked Maggie.
“Four…Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin.” said Harry.
“Which one are you in?” asked Kevin.
“Gryffindor…both of use are.” said Mione.
“Slytherin is the bad one right?” asked Holly.
“Yeah… most wizards in there go bad…you three needs to watch out for Drano Malfoy the most…He’s the worst.
“Gotcha” said all three.
The next several hours flew by. Both Maggie and Holly where beaters for their team back in Salem. Kevin was a Keeper for his team in Drumstag. Draco and his cronies Crabbe and Goyle arrived about mid-afternoon. Both Holly and Maggie showed how knowledgeable of Jinxes they where. Making all three of them covers in boils, bodies disfigured and knocking all 3 unconscious. Harry was impressed by their abilities.
After a while, the sky turned dark and people began changing into their robes.
