A group of four stared at each other. Proffessor Snape looked at the other three newly returned adults with a calm facade. Lily carefully looked between her husband and his best friend between her husband and his best friend to her friend.
"How" Professor Snape asked quietly.
Lily was the one to answer with a small smile and a small laugh "I honestly have no idea Sev".
"That would be in a prophecy" Dumbledore said. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Draco and Luna all groaned "Not again" at that.
"Is everything from a prophecy Professor" Harry asked looking annoyed.
The adults all laughed and Dumbledore said "It seems like that doesn't it Harry" with a small chuckle.
The group of teens all gave him a 'No Duh' look. The adults all laughed at that again and the teens glared at them.
"Anyways" Dumbledore interrupted. "The prophecy was made by a not very well known seer a few years ago".
"Well, what did it say Albus" Minerva asked.
"It said:
Four reunited with their pasts, presents and future,
New loves found, families reunited,
Friendships renewed and the fall of the Dark will happen." Dumbledore said.
The group stared at Dumbledore silently processing what he had just said.
Suddenly Hermione said "That doesn't make any sense"
"Why is that Ms. Granger" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"Only three were returned and a family was reunited not families" Hermione said
.
The group looked at each other, realization on their features.
Suddenly a voice came from the front hall "Hello, is anybody home. Hello?".
Sirius looked shocked "No way, it can't be" he muttered. "He's supposed to be
dead. Reggie" he called back the last part.
"Sirius" the voice called back. The door opened and there stood a somewhat tall man, with short black hair and the same blue eyes Sirius has stood in the doorway. The two brothers hugged and grinned at each other. The group started talking amongst themselves.
"Now there is four" Dumbledore said quietly to Hermione with that annoying twinkle in his eyes.
Hermione nodded her agreement. Suddenly she felt pain shooting through her. She yelped from the pain and as suddenly as it came it was gone. She put her hand to her head and noticed her hair felt smoother.
The whole group present was staring at Hermione.
"What" she asked angrily. Her head hurt and everyone was staring at her like some type of freak.
"Well, Hermione" Harry began.
"Out with it already" Hermione said uncorking her bottle of headache reliever and gulping it down.
A mirror suddenly appeared in front of Hermione. The girl staring back in the mirror looked nothing like Hermione Granger did. This girl had black hair that fell in smooth curls, the same bright blue eyes Sirius had and pale skin. She looked like well, a Black.
"Professor Dumbledore what is going on" the girl in the mirror asked looking at her headmaster.
"Seventeen years ago the Lord and Lady Black of the time came to me for help" Dumbledore began.
Everyone by now was looking at Dumbledore and listening intently to what the Headmaster was saying.
"It was not very well known that the Blacks had given birth a little less than a year prior to a third child. That child was a baby girl named Hermione Elizabeth Black. She was very powerful for being so young and Tom had ordered her to be killed because the Blacks had refused to hand over their only daughter to him. They brought their daughter to me to try and save their little girl. I placed a glamor charm, a few blocks on her powers and a number of other things on her. I then placed her with a muggle family who was unable to have children. This family promised to raise the baby as their own until she turned 11 where she would be sent off to Hogwarts" Dumbledore
finished.
"I'm sorry sir, but what on earth does this have to do with me" Hermione asked looking at him.
"That baby girl was you Ms. Granger or should I say Ms. Black" Dumbledore told her with a twinkle in his eyes.
"So we have a baby sister, that happens to be Hermione who I have known for close to 4 years and you never told me" Sirius asked looking at Dumbledore and then to Hermione.
"Yes" Dumbledore answered calmly sipping tea that he had just made appear.
"Awesome" Sirius said. He and Regulus exchanged looks and then dashed over to their sister. There was a group hug with Hermione trying to hug them both at once.
The others could only stare at the newly reunited family. Who had finally broken apart smiling.
"Well families have been reunited" Dumbledore said with a small smile.
Suddenly the fire flared up and Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy stepped through. "Sorry we're late" Narcissa began. "We had a bit of an issue at the manor" Lucius finished. "What did we miss" Narcissa asked. Then she looked at the Potters and then the Blacks. "We missed quite a bit huh" she asked.
The group nodded and Lily said "It won't take that long to explain Cissy, Lucius".
The group chuckled at then set off to explaining what had happened earlier that day.
"So, the million galleon question is how" Lucius asked.
"Yeah" James said nodding his head.
Narcissa looked at the three Blacks and said "So, I have my third cousin back and the Blacks are all together again?"
Hermione nodded her head and Narcissa gave her a quick hug and said "Welcome back to the family". Lucius nodded in agreement.
"I say we have a party" Sirius said excitedly. The group laughed at the oldest Black and Reggie said "Actually a party sounds like fun".
"How about after we get Sirius freed and then we think about a party" Lily said
looking at the group.
"Good idea" Sirius said and the Potter couple with the two oldest Blacks went off to the Ministry,
The group of teens left the room and headed upstairs to let the adults talk amongst themselves. Harry walked off into the Library and turned on a CD and began singing along to it.
"Friday night I crashed your party Saturday I said I'm sorry Sunday came and trashed me out again I was only having fun Wasn't hurting anyone And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change I've been stranded in the combat zone I walked through Bedford Stuy alone Even rode my motorcycle in the rain And you told me not to drive But I made it home alive So you said that only proves that I'm insane You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for Turn out the light Don't try to save me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right."
The others had sneaked into the room and had sat listening to him sing. When he finished that part the group started clapping and Harry stood there staring at them.
"You were really good Harry" Ginny said breaking the silence looking impressed.
The rest of the group murmured their agreement and Harry grinned at them and said "Thanks you guys".
"Harry, Hermione, Draco, Luna, Ginny and Ron come downstairs please" Lily called. The group of teens ran down the stairs pausing in line which just so happened to be the order she had called them in.
Lily shook her head silently laughing at the way the teens were lined up. The kids looked at the group of adults expectantly.
"You are now looking at a newly freed Sirius Black" Sirius said with a grin.
"Yes" Hermione and Harry said in unison punching the air. The group dashed down the stairs and hugged him.
"I need to breathe everyone" Sirius managed to gasp out. The group let go of him and took a few steps back all smiling.
"Now, how about that party" Sirius asked with a grin.
