Nava sat down on the chair next to Harry. She then slumped over starring at the picture of her relative. Was it a cousin? Sibling? She looked up from the photo; Dumbledore had been trying to search for an answer to her questions. He was asking any relative of the Digory family, Nava only hoped that an answer would be given.

"Harry, did you know Cedric?" She glanced over at Harry, who was still looking around the room. His body stiffened at her question, almost like he was stunned. After awhile he settled his expression as Nava grabbed his hand, "Please Harry, tell me." She never really was that compassionate before but this was someone she was related to, it meant a great deal to her. She couldn't help but feel that Cedric was of some great importance, and she needed to know more.

"He was a great friend Nava, strong, brave, and very smart, probably one of the kindest guys I knew." Harry gave a calm smile towards her and awkwardly placed his arm around her. He seemed like he was trying to comfort her. She had to admit though, it felt calming to know Cedric had a good heart, and he seemed pretty well known for his nobility.

Minutes later Dumbledore emerged from behind the door of his office smiling. "Nava, I have someone here to see you." Behind him a man with glasses stared at her. Nava furrowed her brows when she caught his glance. She didn't recognize the man.

"This here is Mr. Digory, Cedric's father." Dumbledore's eyes were fixed on her which only made her feel slightly more uncomfortable. Nava stood up in response to his announcement. Mr. Digory gave one glance at her and smiled.

"My darling Nava!" She nervously glanced sideways towards Harry. As soon as she turned back towards the man he was already running towards her. She was still slightly confused. The man quickly enveloped her in an embrace. She never experienced such a loving embrace, at least not with this much emotion. She stood there for second with her arms at her sides, still trying to register the proper response to his embrace. She slowly and softly wrapped her arms around him. Who ever he was, it felt right. She closed her eyes just to take in the moment of being held so tightly.

Softly he pulled away and looked her in the eyes, observing her thoroughly. "You look just like your mother, you know she would be so proud of how far you've come." Realizing what he said, her heart plummeted. She tried to hold her composure. Closing her eyes she began to think to herself 'Come on Nava. Stay strong. Don't let your emotions get the best of you.' It was all she ever knew. Well, all she was ever taught. Giving the exception of what she had just found out, she knew she couldn't hold it all in.

She only allowed one tear to fall when she realized this meant Cedric was her brother. She looked up at him, her eyes continued to water, emotions strung through her like they never have before. She rubbed her eyes to clear her vision.

"Father?" He nodded slowly. She could no longer hold in her emotions. So she gave him the biggest embrace she could give. Nava couldn't believe she had finally met him, her real true Father. Finally, she knew where she belonged. She was now Nava Digory, long lost daughter. No mater how cliché it sounded, it was true. Setting her down on the chair, he looked at her in the eyes.

"Dear, we have so much to talk about, so much" Nava nodded with a soft smile towards her father. Father. It was something she was going to have to get used to, because this just didn't feel the same when she spoke those titles to her adopted parents.

Dumbledore allowed Nava to go off campus to Hogsmade to catch up with her father. They found themselves at the entrance of the Three Broomsticks. As soon as they entered Nava and her father sat down. He ordered her a butterbeer and then looked at her once more.

"Nava, you look so much like your brother and your mother, oh, they would be so happy to see you…" He trailed off, and a tear rolled down his cheek. He wiped it away quickly and smiled once more. She smiled back and only wondered one thing.

"Where is my mother?" She truly wished to know. He placed his hands over Nava's, which were on the tabletop.

"She passed away soon after giving birth to you…" He took a breath then continued "You see, her body wasn't strong enough and giving birth put to much strain on her… they told us that they were taking you to check your vitals but when we came looking for you, the whole nursery was disrupted; the nurse laid dead and the only baby missing was you…"

Nava looked back up towards her father. His life seemed so full of sadness. She gripped onto his hand trying to show that she was there.

"You know Nava, Cedric always believed you would come home, I just wish he was here to see you, he adored you so much… he couldn't wait to have a baby sister to care for. He had a picture when you were born in you mothers arms and that smile that laid on his face never came back after you were gone." Nava couldn't believe what she was hearing… her brother never gave up on her. "Oh Nava, I can't believe you are here right in front of me!" His smile was so calming. As Nava looked at him, she spotted a tear beginning to fall and quickly wiped it away before it furthered its trail along her father's cheek.

"Dear me! I think its time that you went back to school you still have a lot to do before school begins." Right as he got up out of his chair, he gave her a kiss on her forehead and walked her back to Hogwarts.

Dumbledore was already expecting their arrival and was waiting at the front entrance. Her father gave her one last hug, "See you soon." He smiled at her while cupping her cheek then walked away. Dumbledore nodded at Mr. Digory and guided Nava towards his office once again. Entering Nava spotted a hat on his table; he walked towards it and spoke to Nava.

"So, would you prefer being called Miss Smith or Miss Digory?" He turned to face her with a welcoming smile. Nava softly smiled back,

"You may call me Miss Digory, Headmaster."

"Very well then, Miss Digory please sit down so I can place the sorting hat upon your head," He pointed towards the chair near his desk. Nava walked towards it and sat down; awaiting the hat to be placed on her.

She had heard about the enchanted hat that would place her in her rightful house depending on her qualities, it was quite interesting. Dumbledore walked towards her and placed the hat on her head. Without notice it began to speak.

"Ah, this one is tough such potential for all houses…" Its whispery voice echoed in her ear. "Courageous, pure, loyal, kind so many qualities, but which house to place you…"

Nava sat waiting for the hats response, just thinking about wanting to make her brother proud, after all the waiting he did for her arrival. "Hmmm…. Gryffindor! Yes that is the perfect house for you!" Nava smiled proudly and allowed Dumbledore to take the hat off.

"Ah so Gryffindor." Dumbledore smiled and spoke again, "I guess you will be spending a lot of time with Mr. Potter then, well Miss Digory go along classes start on Monday you must get a lot of rest." Nava walked out the door heading towards the Gryffindor common room.

Walking around the corner swiftly Nava, bumped into something hard and fell backwards. Trying to get her vision straight she realized she didn't bump into something but someone. Holding her head into her hand she looked across towards the person she bumped into, he stood up and walked towards her giving her a hand. She looked up as her vision cleared she realized that it was Harry.

"Nava are you alright?" He looked at her with worry.

"Yeah I am thanks Harry, sorry for running into you." She looked back up at him as he lifted her up off the floor, "Again I am so sorry!" She turned and began to walk away but Harry grabbed her hand.

"Wait…" He took awhile to complete his sentence "Where are you going?"

"Heading to the Gryffindor common room." She could feel the warmth on his hands and a tingling feeling gradually disperse within her body.

"Oh, I just thought you'd like to go for a walk with me… there's something I need to tell you." Nava looked at him; she could tell it was something that troubled him. She wasn't sure if she should get involved but she knew she had to be a better person. Being confined to herself wouldn't do her any good any longer.

She nodded and followed him. She looked down at her hand noticing he hadn't let go of her. She slightly smiled, although it was a bit weird, it felt good. They approached a bridge and she could see the shine of the moon along the lake, it was beautiful. Harry stopped at one of the arches, and Nava leaned on the arch to examine the view.

"It's so beautiful." She whispered. Harry didn't respond.

"Nava…" She looked at him trying to observe his expression. Only concern filled his eyes, "Have you heard of Voldemort?" She furrowed her brows; she didn't understand why he was asking her this question. She relaxed and then responded.

"No, I have not, but I'm guessing this has something to do with Cedric doesn't it?" Harry ignored the question once more. Looking out on the lake he began again.

"You see he killed my parents, but my mothers love towards protecting me gave me this scar." He showed her the lightning bold on his forehead. "This scar, it's a symbol of my mother's devotion to protecting me…." Harry continued to explain all that has happened to him to Nava. She could see multiple emotions flash through his eyes. He had gone through so many difficult things in his life and Nava respected him greatly because of how he surpassed them.

After explaining the past, they came to discussing what had happened to her brother and how he tried to help but wasn't able to. Nava's grip onto his hand weakened. He was there while Cedric died, Cedric was trying to protect Harry but he was no match. That was something she wasn't sure she was ready to hear but in a way she was proud of Cedric, protecting someone who needed protecting. She was okay with what was said, he was protecting someone who was younger than him. Something that he could have done to her, protect her from danger. Like a big brother should. She shed a tear but quickly wiped it away. Harry seemed to notice this and pulled her into a hug.

"I am so sorry Nava, I really am, and I tried so…" Nava placed her finger against his mouth she didn't need any more explanations or any more apologies since it wasn't his fault. "I believe you, Harry, I really do, its just good to know someone knew him and to know he was always there to protect people that needed protecting… thank you Harry." She hugged him once more. This time she closed her eyes, knowing the truth made it a lot more bearable for her to be here.

So tell me what you think about this chapter and review! Chapter 3 is coming soon!
