Chapter 2 - Sister?

Ginny came up behind Harry.

"Harry?" He jumped up from his place in the garden, and pulled out his wand, only to lower it as he came face to face with his best friend.

"Ginny, Please don't scare me like that again." panted Harry, clutching his chest.

"Sorry, Harry." Said Ginny, looking down and feeling her face heating up. Harry had worked in the garden for a time and he had removed his shirt, leaving his upper body naked. He didn't look bad, only a bit too skinny.

"Ginny, Why do you have your trunk with you?" Asked Harry, seeing Ginny standing there in the full sunlight. She wore a simple plain skirt, and a top that made her developing body look extra good. "Can we go inside Harry? There is something I need you to tell" Said Ginny, as she looked around. Harry nodded and led her into the house. The Dursley's were on an extended Holiday, and left Harry alone. He promised that he would take care of the garden and to do several chores every day. For that, Harry was allowed to walk free, as long as he didn't do and 'freaky things'.

Ginny sat down on one of the sofa's that were in the house. Compared to the Burrow, this place looked like it had never been lived in. Everywhere were sheets of plastic, that covered every square inch of the room and furniture.

Harry sat next to her and Ginny started to talk. "Harry, I've decided to go against Professor Dumbledore's orders, of not contacting you. I've found out that somewhere in America, a Potter still walks around, who is your older sister."

Harry looked at her, his eyes searching her face for any trace of lies.

"I-I-I have a sister?" Harry asked, his voice betraying his confusion, hope and fear.

Ginny nodded and removed from her trunk a piece of parchment and gave it to Harry.

Harry started to read, with Ginny looking over his shoulder.

Birthcertificate of:

"Ginny, I don't care what Dumbledore thinks, I need to find her. She's all I've got. She's my only family" Harry wanted to say more but Ginny placed her finger on Harry's lip and Harry stopped talking. "Harry, there is something else that you need to see." She pulled her finger away from his mouth and gave him a second piece of parchment.

Harry again started to read:

"Ginny?" Harry asked. It seemed that he and Ginny were in some sort of magical bond,. But he didn't understand one bit of it.

"Harry, listen to me. I'll try to explain it all, but right now we're running out of time. Your guard is showing up any moment, so please hand over your wand, so I can remove the trace." Not understanding what she meant by the trace, Harry simply held out his wand and Ginny waved her own over it, mumbling a bit. Harry's wand started to smoke a little and he could see something coming out of it.

With a snap, Ginny removed the trace, and told Harry that he now could do magic insid eteh house, and not be caught by the ministry.

"Harry, pack everything, except for your broom, wand and your cloak. We're leaving and we'll try to get to America."

Harry nodded and a few minutes later, appeared back downstairs, levitating his trunk with his wand.

Climbing on their brooms, Ginny and Harry took off. Their invisibility cloaks tight around them and a sticking charm on their trunks to stick them to the brooms. Their get-away couldn't be better planned, as a minute later a small team of people popped into existence. One of them, a young woman with pink hair started to use magic to scan for Harry Potter, but found nothing. The group started to run around like chickens without their heads, while one sandy haired man, who was going grew smiled. He knew that Ginny and Harry were gone, but he could still smell them. Remus Lupin, werewolf, and member of the order of the Phoenix smiled again as he sent his own patronus, to his best friend and troublemaker in crime, Sirius Black with a message. The cuckoo has left the nest.

Harry and Ginny had flown for an hour before they were touching down. They landed on a pier, overlooking the ocean. They met there with a man who was riding a very strange looking creature. Half horse and half bird. Harry and Ginny both knew that it was a hippogriff. The rider of the hippogryff was also well known to Harry, and Ginny had known him for two weeks. Sirius Black was behind some of the more powerful muggle repelling charms, that he and Remus had placed. Giving them a small parcel and a tissue, he waved and soon soared through the air on the hippogriff's back.

Looking at the tissue, Harry could see a few words on it. Telling Ginny to hold on tight, he whispered the worlds. "Dumbledore is losing his marbles" Feeling the pull behind his navel, Harry held onto the tissue, and he could see that Ginny did the same. He just hoped that he could find this Charles Xavier, and his sister.
