Lying like a pro
Chapter one: What?
Summary:
Harry Potter, the boy who lived. Right? Wrong. What if everything we knew about him is a lie. That his parents were alive, and he grew up with them, Peter was never their secret keeper. But they faked their deaths and Harry had lied to everyone, except Neville, who knows because his parents were also in on it. Now after an attack involving Harry's cousin, Arianna, Ron and Hermione see his family. Will they be able to trust him again?
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were down in the Great Hall when Hedwig flew in with a letter for Harry. Harry took the letter and opened it, as he skimmed the letter his eyes filled with horror. He looked at Ron and Hermione and said, "I'm sorry but, I suddenly don't fill too well. I'm going to go lay down." Before either of them could response Harry stood up and took off. They watched as he ran out of the hall. Ron turned to Hermione and asked, "What the bloody hell do you think got into him?" Hermione shrugged her shoulders and said, "What ever it is I'm sure that it is something big."
Outside the hall Harry ran down the corridor and in the Gryffindor common room. He ran up to his dorm, searched through his trunk until he found a bag of floo powder hidden in a secret opening. He ran back into the common room throwing some floo powder into the fire place as he stepped in and said, "Potter mansion, 19020 Medline Dr. London." With a green flash he disappeared, not seeing the two shadows by the door. Harry stepped out of the fire place into a living room filled with people. He ran over to a lady with long deep red hair and said, "Mum, have they heard anything?" The woman turned to look at him and shook her head with tears in her eyes. She said, "No, Harry honey. We haven't heard anything." Harry gave a half smiled and asked, "Where's dad?" She looked towards the kitchen and said, "James. Harry's home." A man with messy dark brown hair came walking in followed by a man with medium length black hair and a man with blonde hair. James said, "Are you okay?" Harry nodded and said, "What about Arianna and Anthony?" James looked back at the two men behind him and said, "We don't know yet bud."
Harry walked over to the men and looked at the man with black hair and said, "Uncle Sirius?" Sirius looked at him and said, "Hey, don't worry they'll be fine." Just then the news cut in on the television and the reporter said, "In the past fifteen minutes we have just witness the destruction of Salems school of Wandless Magic. The Dark Lord and his followers have literally obliterated it, and as far as we know there are no survivors. That is it for now we will keep you updated every five minutes." Harry looked at Sirius as Sirius stood up he looked at Harry's mum and said, "Lily, where's Emma?" Lily looked at him as the tears in her eyes began to fall and said, "She's up in Arianna's room." Sirius run up the stairs as James walked over to Lily and said, "I'm sure that she and Anthony are okay. They're smart kids." Lily nodded and wrapped her arms around him as she started to sob. Harry backed away from his parents and sat on the couch letting his head fall into his hand.
Sirius ran up the stairs taking a right at the top and walked into the first door on the right that had a light blue 'A' on it. He walked over to the bed were his wife, Emma, lay crying. He sat down and said, "Emmie, Arianna is a tough girl. I'm sure that she is fine that she got a way and is on her way here." Emma looked up and him and said, "How can you be so sure?" Sirius laid down wrapping his arms around her and said, "Because, baby if we don't have faith in her. Who will?" That is all that was said, Sirius just laid there and listened to his wife sob. That is until they heard Harry say, "Uncle Sirius, Aunt Emma! Come down here!" Sirius and Emma jumped out of bed and ran down stairs.
James looked at Harry and said, "What's wrong?" Harry pointed at the screen and said, "It's Arianna!" They looked at the screen and sure enough there was a girl who had long black hair and bright crystal blue eyes. They watched as Med-witches ran to her and got her on a stretcher. A reporter said, "We have great news folks. A young girl has been found walking out of the rubble. It is very likely that she is the soul survivor of this incident. At the moment we can not say for sure who this survivor is, but from the way people are reacting I would have to guess that this girl was Arianna Black. Daughter of Sirius and Emma Black, and niece of James and Lily Potter." Everyone in the Potters' living room jumped up in excitement. Sirius looked at Emma and said, "Well, let's go!" Emma pulled away from Lily, who she had been hugging, and said, "Okay, just let me change. I can't go in my night gown." She ran up stairs to change and Sirius caught the glance of Remus who looked happy but still distraught. Sirius and James walked over to him and said, "Anthony's fine, Moony. He's a strong boy." Remus looked up and said, "I know. It's just that I'm not sure what I would do if anything happened to him. I promised his mother…" James held his hand out and said, "Come let's go see Arianna. I'm sure if she's awake she can tell us more of what happened." Remus nodded grabbing James's hand allowing himself to be pulled up.
They apparated to St. Mungos, as they arrived Harry noticed a tall figure with silver hair. Harry said, "Professor Dumbledore?" The figure turned around and said, "Harry! I figured I'd find you and your family here." From behind Dumbledore stepped out Ron and Hermione. Ron said, "Harry? Bloody hell is that your family?" Harry looked at them and said, "What are you two doing here?" Hermione said, "We were worried when you flooed out of the common room so we went to Professor Dumbledore. Ronald that can't be his family, his family is died." Harry stepped forward and said, "Actually this is my family, but I can't explain right now." Hermione said, "And why not?" Harry was getting frustrated and said, "Because my cousin was just sent here from the attack at Salems and I would like to see her before I explain." Ron and Hermione looked at him and said, "What?"
