A New Beginning

Chapter Two: Difficult Changes

Harry left number four private drive forever, hand in hand with his parents as they apperated to his home, his home. A true home. Where he would be surrounded by love and joy always, never neglected, never scorned, never abused. His parents were alive and they had whisked him away from the Dursley's forever. He knew he was probably dreaming, but he didn't care, he was actually going to live a normal life, and even if it wasn't real, he was going to enjoy it while it lasts.

They had left a note to the Dursley's saying that Harry was going to spend the remainder of his adolescent life with the Stranons, the wizarding family they thought they had met. No doubt this would cause a great celebration to be held, for they would never have to look at his ugly face again.

They arrived at a lovely house in the country; it was slightly larger than the Dursley's and clearly the home of wizards. There were several old racing brooms lined up against the shed, several old caldrons, and an old wand sitting by the steps. Harry was thrilled my his new home. It was quiet and secluded, a beautiful place to live, he only wished he had spent more time there. This would have been the perfect place for a young wizard to grow up.

Harry was so preoccupied by his new home that he did notice a small girl of about twelve walk out of the house. She was the spitting image of lily down to the last freckle nad playful red curl, except for her large brown doe eyes, which were clearly form her father. She slowly walked over to her parents and Harry. She quietly stood next to him. When he realized they were no longer alone he quickly looked down. He new in an instant that she had to be his sister, he didn't even need to notice how much she looked like his mother, or that she had his fathers eyes. When he looked down at her he could feel it. He slowly bent down and encircled her in his arms, raising her to his face. Tears were beginning to spill out of her eyes and soon they were both hugging and both their faces were shining brightly with tears of joy.

His parents looked on in ecstasy, afraid that he would not accept her, or be angry that their life had carried on without him. They were overjoyed at having there family together once again.

Without a word Harry started making his way to the house, he sister still nestled in his arms. Lily and James followed him. Even thought he had never stepped foot in to the house before, Harry was able to find his way to the living room. He sat him self down on the couch and placed his sister in his lap, Lily and James sat on opposite sides of him.

They sat that way for a long time, just enjoying each others silent company. But soon the silence was interrupted by a small voice that sounded like tiny sliver bells, coming from the small girls in Harry's lap.

"Harry, I'm glad your home. I have waited for this for a long time now we can all be a family together. I love you." She turned around and hugged him as tight as her arms would let her. "My name is Rose, just so you know." Her voice was shy this time, almost apprehensive.

"Well Rose. I love you to and I am very glad I'm finally home as well." He looked to each of his parents in turn, making sure they saw the love and compassion in his eyes. So that they knew he truly meant what he said.

"Harry, I am so very happy you have come back to us, and I would love this moment to last forever. But we have some things we must tell. This will probably answer many of your questions." His mother reached out and gave his open hand an affectionate squeeze.

"Well for starters, we saw you many times, and you saw us. We visited you and talked and you knew us, and important event in either your's or our lives were shared together as a family, very one of your birthdays, and holidays, everything, we were a family in those times. I know this all sound very confusing, but you must keep listening." His mothers eyes were pleading with him, she wanted him to hear her out, he agreed and she carried on/

"When ever anything like this happened you were sent to Ms. Figgs. You are aware now that she is a squib, and was in contact with Dumbledore." At this Harry shook his head in confirmation, but his eyes were laden with disbelief. "Well when you were sent to Ms. Figgs you actually were sent to us nad we were together as a family. We would came and get you nad remove the memory charm that was on you, you always loved coming out of it, and you would remember our last meeting, but when the time was up, we would reinstate the memory charm and replace that with and unpleasant visit with Ms. Figgs, you were always very understanding of the situation and would say you couldn't wait until next time.

"I'm sorry those memories were suppressed, but it was for your safety, we hated to do it, but it was necessary. But now that you are with us, we can permanently remove the charm and you will once again have the memories of past times spent with us." At this Harry shook his head in enthusiasm; he was still too stunned to speak.

"Alright, it will be a very odd feeling, you will regain the most recent memories first and those that were the longest like the time your sister was born. Do you remember when you were five and your aunt and uncle took Dudley to Disney world and left you with Ms. Figgs because they had won free tickets; that was arranged by Dumbledore so you could spend a long time with us. He is such a good man. With out him none of that would have been possible. We all miss him so, and I know you must miss him as well, we know you were very close.

"Are you ready Harry?" He shook his head again, trying not to get his hopes up, not wanting to be let down if it didn't work, but he wanted it to so badly, he wanted those memories, of family and love, of a some what normal childhood.

"Alright, Stay still, and you will feel a slight buzz all through you head, this is normal, it is the releasing of your memories." She counted to three and a purple light shot out of the end of her upraised wand and went striate into his eyes.

His eyes snapped shut and a buzzing sensation moved through out his head, he saw images of himself and his family, the love and laughter. His birthdays and Christmases, his sister's birth. One after another they came to him, filling him to the brink with love, he remembered, he knew his family. It was as if he had a normal life and had span every day with them. His eyes filled with tears of joy, the memories played over and over in his head again and again, until he knew tem truly, he was part of the family. They were part of him.

He slowly opened his eyes to see all three most familiar faces looking up at his.

"I remember." He croaked out, they all hugged together as a family often does in times of joy. "I remember everything, the day rose was gone. My birthdays Christmases. The time I broke my arm and spent half the summer with you while the Dursley's went to Cancun. It's all so wonderful, I love you all. I love that we can be a family again." Harry now understood why he often came back from Ms. Figgs to have dreams of his parents and what life would have been like to live with them, because he had tasted it and experienced. This was the happiest moment of his life.

"Harry, more memories will come to you as time goes in, but most will come to you tonight as you sleep. You should have all of them back by a week. Now we have something very important to talk to you about." At this she looked down at Rose. "Rose sweet heart, we need you to give us a few minutes alone with Harry, I promise after this we can all be together and do things as a family, but this is important, and you need to leave." Rose looked sad but obediently left the room and preceded upstairs to what Harry could only guess was her room.

When they heard the echo of her door closing Harry's parents turned to wear they could both see him and he could see both of them. "Harry," His father spoke. "We know you are probably very excited and want to tell many people but you can't we know it will be hard but this must be kept a secret. You are allowed to tell Ron and Hermione because we know they are trust worthy, but we ask that you tell no one else. It is just to dangerous, and we don't want anything to happen to you or Rose, we just can't take that risk." Harry looked both of his parents in the eyes.

"I understand, and I wont tell a living soul, except Ron and Hermione, and thank you for allowing me to tell tem. I understand it is to dangerous and I don't want to endanger any of you. I love you all and I don't want to loose you know that I finally have you."
