A/N: Hey peeps! I'm sorry if you liked the Draco series I was writing, but I didn't like that one very much. So instead I'm making a whole new series! This is SUPPOSED to be book 5, but of course it is anything but accurate. However it is a practically a fact that Hermione will be made a perfect (as if you couldn't have figured that out yourselves) and that the Arabella Figg that Dumbledore talks about in the chapter "Parting of Ways"(Book 4) is the Mrs. Figg who babysat Harry. Anyway, it is also known that Book 5 will be called "Harry Potter and Remus Lupin's secret, Professor Lupin will make another very important appearance and that we will learn about Lily potter, Harry's mother. Okay, that was a mouthful, now on to the story!
Disclaimer: Everything except: rainbottlers, some charms, and anything you haven't heard of in the Harry Potter books belong to J.K Rowling, the rest belongs to me. All the 'muggle songs' belong to their singers and the sorting hat poem belongs to me.

She wins my arguments with yelling and because she's popular.
Chapter 1:Arabella Figg
Harry was running, harder than he had ever run in his life, faster than he had ever been on a broomstick, and then he was flying, over mountains and lakes and green hills; but why? Harry looked around him, there was nothing but blue sky and clouds, then a sharp cackle, a flash of green light, someone yelled, "Harry!", and then everything went black. A flash of red appeared before him, and eyes…hideous red eyes….
"Ahhhh!" Harry woke with a start, what had he been dreaming? He remembered only a flash of green light and a cackle, or maybe even those facts were brought up because Harry had often woken up like this after dreaming of his parents' death. He shuddered, his room was dark, but a quick glance at his bedside clock told him it was 6:00 in the morning. Harry got up and dressed into jeans and a t-shirt; hearing a faint tapping at the window, he opened it and let Hedwig, Pigwideon, and four other owls in.
"Wow!" Harry exclaimed, very surprised, "I don't think I've ever got this many owls before!"
He opened Hedwig's first and read:
Dear Harry,
Guess what! I have been made a perfect!("Big surprise" Harry thought observing Hermoine's neat handwriting) I can't wait until the school year starts! In my letter from Hogwart's I was informed that we will be having yet another exciting event this year! They said that because I am a perfect they will let me in on a bit of the information, and that it has something to do with quidditch. I'm sorry my letter is short, but I have to go and do an essay on the rotation of Mars for Astronomy, see you soon! And don't open my present until you are officially 15 years old. That part is very important
Love,
Hermoine
"I wonder what she meant in see you soon?" Harry thought, "It's only July, maybe it has something to do with Hogwarts, or maybe she's also coming to visit Ron this summer. And I wonder what my birthday present is?"
Next he opened Ron's and read:
Dear Harry,
I can't believe what mum said, she said you nor Hermoine nor anyone else can come and visit this summer due to dad's and Percy's "private" work. As far as I'm concerned it has been nothing but private since we left Hogwarts, Fred and George are really getting into this Joke Shop of theirs and they spend most of their time making different devices. I don't know if Hermy told you this, but we're going over to her house this summer. She says that she dumped Krum, so her house will be krum-free when we're there! Yahoo! She also says Rita Skeeter is under the threat of being squashed if she tries to use any sort of magic while in that bottle. I hope can come soon.
Your best friend,
Ron
Harry guessed that the private work had something to do with Voldemort. Voldemort? Wasn't there a cloaked figure in his dream? Harry shuddered a bit then opened the letter from a small tawny owl, only a little bit bigger than Pig. It read:
Dear Harry,
I'm sorry, my note is short, but I am on the run again, Fudge has been rumored to go mad, and is now on my tail. He says he wants to catch me and "feed" me to those damn dementors before he has to dismiss them and make an alliance with them. I want to wish you a very happy birthday and to say that even if my present is not too big, I know you'll enjoy it. Sirius
Harry opened Sirius' present, and at once his eyes filled with tears, there was a picture of Sirius, Remus, James, and Lily(who was holding harry) all together laughing, and there were two pieces of paper. One said that Sirius would be cleared if there was enough evidence found that he had indeed fought against Voldemort. The other paper said that as soon as Sirius was cleared Harry could go live with him! Harry was so overjoyed he got up and did a jig. He couldn't believe he was actually going to go live with Sirius! He was so happy he practically flew down the stairs and started making just as the Dursleys came in. Harry set a BIG pile of food in front of Dudley who looked at Harry for only a second, and then started eating. Mrs. Dursley however, grabbed the food from under Dursleys nose and threw it away. Then she started screaming like a Banshee and hit Harry on the head with the plastic plate. Harry couldn't have cared less, he bolted up the stairs so happy he didn't mind the big bump forming on his scalp. He sat down and opened Hagrid's letter and the usual one from Hogwarts, which also gave him a surprise. He had been made a perfect! It also said that there was going to be a Qudditch match with a wizarding school from Egypt during this year. After that there was the usual books, and the perfect's pin. He hoped that Ron wouldn't regard him as he did to Percy. He opened his presents and cake which consisted of:
A book about invisibility cloaks from Ron and a cake from his mother
A pack of dungbombs and trick wands from Fred and George
A wand polishing kit from Hagrid
And of course he had already opened Sirius'
He obeyed Hermoine's orders and didn't open his present, he also set his alarm for 1:00 in the morning. After placing all his presents under the floorboard, he went downstairs to eat.
"Harry, you're going to stay with Mrs. Figg while we go to London to bye Dudley a new Smeltings uniform. I will have no complaints AT ALL."
Harry sighed, another day with Mrs. Figg, whoop-de-doo. If he hadn't gotten that great present from Sirius, he would have probably dropped dead right now. Not that Mr.s Figg was mean or anything, but here cats were VERY annoying. Nevertheless, he finished his breakfast and climbed into the Dursleys new peach colored Mercedes. It diddn't take long for them to reach Mrs. Figg's house. They stopped for only a short second to let Harry stumble out of the car then drove off like the devil was after them. Apparently, they too didn't like Mrs. Figg that much. Harry had always thought that the Dursleys didn't like her because having too many cats was VERY abnormal, he had no idea there was a reason other than that, And of course, he had never asked either.
Mrs. Figg was exceptionally nice that day, she offered him some lemonade(which was too sour), and some cookies(which were a bit stale, but still good). She didn't speak until quite some time later when harry was sitting down at the TV watching jerry Springer, which he found extremely funny.
"So dear, did dear old Albus tell you about Arabella Figg yet?"
"What!?" harry yelled, choking on a sugar cookie.
"Oh my, I suppose that means no doesn't it? Must have forgotten with the death of poor Cedric Diggory I'm sure. Well then, I suppose I will have to explain myself….Now where shall I start?"
"Ex-excuse me…but are you a witch?"
"Oh! Of course I am! Graduated from the Salem's Witch Institute I did, all the way in America. Now I think I'll start with the death of your parents." Harry was too shocked to do anything but gape.
"Oh my, oh my, I didn't think it was going to be so hard to tell you. Well I'll tell you the reason. Since Lily Potter, your mother, used a bonding charm on you to make you forever connected with your family, you will be safe as long as you are with your family. The Dursleys are your only family left so it was obvious you would have to go live with them. Knowing that they were of the "abnormal" sort, he stationed me at this house near them to make sure you didn't get into trouble. It was I who always helped you with those tiny problems. For example, I grew your hair back when your aunt chopped it all off. I also caused you to summon the night bus when you decided to leave the Dursleys. It has been hard not to be caught you know. I had to bewitch my wand, make friends with the Dursleys, and the like."
Harry now finally found some words and said, "Why couldn't I just come live with you?"
"As I said Harry, you had a bonding charm in you, as long as you were with family, you would be safe."
"But what about at Hogwarts? You can't have followed me there."
"I never did, but Voldemort's spirit is forevermore lurking in the underground of Hogwarts."
"But Voldemort isn't my family."
"This is getting harder and harder to tell you! You see, Voldemort did his curse as soon as your mother did the Bonding Charm, because of this, your mother's life was given to save you and you lived, when Voldemort's curse backfired, the Bonding Charm did too. So you are, and always were, connected to Voldemort."
"That is-it's-it's unbelievable!"
"Yes I know dear. In fact, it was so unbelievable that only four people know what really happened that night."
"Who are they?"
"Albus Dumbledore, myself, Sirius Black (as he is your Godfather), and…"
"And who else Mrs. Figg?"
"Please call me Arabella or Abie dear, and what was that?"
"And who else knows about the night my parents died?"
"Severus..Severus Snape."
"Him! Of all the people I know HE has to know about my parent's death!"
"He was the first to know it, Sirius thinks he was there himself, but Albus believes he got the information from Karakeroff after you defeated Quirrell."
"Was he really that helpful? He was a death eater though. I think Sirius is right in saying he was there himself!"
"Nonsense! Everyone knows that Voldemort would want to kill you, but he wants the glory of it all for himself. He is very proud indeed, and he would kill anyone who tried to assist him in killing you."
"But why?"
"Because he wants to kill you all by himself and…"
"And what?"
"Never mind, that is a matter bettween yourself and Dumbledore. Now if you'll exscuse me, I think I have some Bertie Botts every flavor beans in my cupboard I'll go check."
"Wait!"
"Yes?"
"Why do you own so many cats?"
Abie laughed, "Well, I think I'll save that story for another time, it all started many years ago when I graduated from the Salem's Witch Institute in 1675. Actually, now that I think about it, it was all Agrippa's idea."
"Agrippa?"
"Yes, she was my sister. Very dear, but she died 50 years ago, she was a hundred years older than me, she was."
The rest of the afternoon passed with the two talking about witchcraft and eating Bertie Bott's every flavor beans. On the drive back home to the Dursleys, Harry kept pondering on her words. Was Voldemort really related to him? And where in the world had he heard the name Aggripa before? It was 7:00 when the Dursleys finally drove into their garage. All Harry could do was sslouch upstairs and fall asleep. He did so immediately.
Chapter 2:A week at Hermione's
Harry opened his present from Hermione the next morning, it was a big model of the galaxy, it showed which star you were born under depending on when you opened it. Except for that the next few days were uneventful, harry got most of his homework done, and he got an owl from Hermione saying that her family would come and pick harry up at 11:00 on Wednsday. Uncle Vernon was overjoyed to see that Harry was going to his friend's house and that they wouldn't have to worry about him any longer. He was also happy that Harry was going to stay at a normal human's house. He regarded witches and wizards as "a disarrayed abnormal unknown species". Of course he didn't know that most muggles did know about the wizarding world because their sons/daughter's were witches/wizards. Harry hadn't needed a second bidding to leave the Dursleys' house. He had all his trunks packed well before Wednesday came. When it did come, harry was all ready to go. Aunt Petunia had forced him to cover Hedwig with a blanket or something or to pack her in the trunk. Since the Granger's didn't want to shut Hedwig in the trunk, harry draped a black sheet over Hedwig's cage instead. As soon as they could, Hermione and Harry (Ron wasn't there yet) urged Mr. Granger to put the petal to the metal. Harry was a little sad however when they passed Mrs. Figg watering her garden. She waved at Harry and he waved back. He was planning on telling Hermione all about her. But he decided to wait until Ron was there too.
ddddd
"…and then she told me that I was connected to Voldemort!" Harry finished, Ron had arrived a few days after Harry, and now he was telling the two his tale about Mrs. Figg.
"But that is so scary!" Hermione squealed
"Oh my god! No wonder you have so many weird power like being a parselmouth and stuff."
"She also told me that she has a sister named Aggripa. Doesn't that ring a bell?"
"It sure does!" answered Ron, "I'm missing that chocolate frog card. I suppose she's very rare, because I haven't gotten her at all. I have more than a million of Merlin now. Well, I had them. Mum used a sending spell to send all my extra cards to a recycling center for wizards and witches."
"You're right!" Harry yelled, very excited indeed, "you said that on the first day at Hogwarts, when we were on the train! I remember it now!"
"Do you think it's possible to go to a chocolate store and say "Accio chocolate frog with Aggripa card"?"
"I don't think so…" said hermione
"Hey isn't there a chocolate shop in Diagon Alley?"
"There is! It's called the "Big Cauldron of Chocolate"!"
"The what are we waiting for? Let's go!" And with that Ron flew downstairs and yelled "Accio Broomstick and Invisibility cloak!" Harry's Invisibility Cloak and their three broomsticks race forward and landed with an "umph!" into Ron's arms. Hermione enlarged the invisibility cloak so they could all fit under it, and then they flew off to the "Big Cauldron of Chocolate" after leaving a note on the table. Mr. and Mrs. Granger were still asleep. Hermione was against their trip from the start, but she helped them anyway, she was very curious to see if Ron's idea worked, and she wanted to know who Aggripa really was. A short time later they landed in Diagon Alley, and the trio raced towards the chcolate shop. Ron took the honors, and muttered, "Accio chocolate frog with Aggripa card". It seemed to work, a chocolate frog sped towards them and Ron caught it quickly, Hermione paid the 11 knuts at once and they hurried out to unwrap it. They were quite dissapointed at what they saw on the card. It said:
Haha! You are fools for trying such an easy trick! Aggripa was a master of wit, you will need the same if wanting to get her card. So answer this ridle and she will be yours. The one who muttered the spell must figure it out. The one who bought it may help ONCE. The riddle goes:
Listen my friends
And you shall hear
A bottle of singing butterbear
But the bear isn't yellow
Nor is it mellow
It comes in shades of gray
Nay a stray
And older than a piece of hay
Aggripa and Abie
Loved this tabby
Named her after education you see
And they called her a bumble bee
Here are that words that you seek:
Raeb
Ybbat
Redlo yah
"What is that supposed to mean?" Ron whined,
"I get it!" yelled hermione, "Harry, did you say that Arabella loves cats? And that Aggrippa was her sister?"
"Yes."
"It's easy the answer is..."
A/N: And I leave you hanging in mid-air on a cliff! These are chapters 1-2 and ½ and I'm need atleast a few good review's from everyone to go further because these take a long time to write. This one took 3 hours and I'm a fast typist too! See ya peeps! J
