Chapter 2

The members of The Order of the Phoenix were sitting around the table at Number 12 Grimuald place, waiting for Dumbledore to arrive and tell them why they were having an emergency meeting. Many people who had been here all day, such as the Weasleys and Tonks, were really intersested as to what had happened. Mostly because they had been at the house late last night when Sirius and Remus had come back from a meeting with Dumbledore looking absolutely furious. Despite many questions, they refused to tell anybody what had happened. Saying that they would find out soon, as Dumbledore was calling a meeting the next day. Most of the younger people in the room looked furious, as this meant that they would probably not end up finding out what had happened.

They all heard the front door open and close, then the footsteps that led Dumbledore to them. When he finally sat in his seat at the table, he greeted them all and then turned to Molly Weasley. "Molly, if you would please bring down our younger guests from upstairs. I have no doubt that despite our best efforts they are listening to this conversation and I would rather they hear it from me then to make their own assumptions when they hear parts of this conversation.

Molly looked shocked that he would ask for them to become involved in anything with the Order. "Dumbledore, they have nothing to do with any of this, they do not need to be down here,"

"On the contrary, Molly. This has a lot to do with them. Harry is their friend and they need to give me a judgement of if he can handle knowing what I am about to tell you. " His voice was soft, but firm. Giving her the assurance that this was needed. She gave him a shocked look at the mention of Harry, but quickly exited the room to get her children. She was not alone in her confusion. Most of the Order members were staring at Dumbledore in confusion.

When the Weasley children and Hermione came into the room, with the apprehensive Molly Weasley shutting the door behind them, they too looked confused as to why they were finally allowed to hear what was said at Order meetings. And not even through Fred and George's Extendable Ears. They got to sit in the room! Dumbledore gave them a reassuring smile as they sat in the extra chairs that he had conjured while they were on their way down. He looked down at his hands and then prepared himself for the anger that was sure to be directed his way.

"The night that Lily and James Potter died, Harry was not the only person to survive. Sirius was first to arrive at the ruins of their Cottage in Godric's Hollow. There, he found three children. Harry, Joey, and Danny. Joey and Danny were the twin children of James and Lily. They were six when this happened." Many looked horrified at what Dumbledore was saying. Harry had siblings? How come nobody had ever heard of them? "As you know, because of their involvement in the Order, the Potters kept themselves well hidden. Which would explain why most of you have never heard of them. The only people who even knew that they existed were myself, James' parents, now dead, Lily's Parents, now dead, Marlene McKinnon who you all know was Lily's best friend, now dead, and Sirius and Remus. When I went to check for myself whether or not the Rumors were true, I found Sirius with Harry, Joey, and Danny. For what I thought was the best, I left Harry with Sirius, as Hagrid would come for him soon to take him to his relatives. I erased all memory he had of finding the twins and took them with me. I put them both in different homes and promised them that one day they would all see each other again."

"You mean that all this time, Harry had siblings, and you never told anybody! You let everybody assume that they had died!" Ron shouted. Hermione looked too horrified to speak and on the verge of tears. They knew how much Harry hated knowing that he had no family.

"I had my reasons, Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore said sadly. "When they turned eleven, they went to Beauxbatons together, meeting each other for the first time in five years. They both left school three years ago and have situated themselves in their grandparent's old manor. They are stable financially and have asked me if Harry would be able to come and live with them. More like demanded actually. They have the tempers of their parents. They have been demanding it for years and I have been waiting until I thought they were ready. Now I ask you, who are closest to Harry, to go there and meet them and tell me if you think that Harry would be ready to meet them and it they would be ready to meet him. So I am sending you and your family, Molly, Arthur, you Hermione, and Remus and Sirius." Everyone looked like they agreed with this arrangement so said people immediately rose.

"Where do we go?" Asked Arthur.

"Sirius and Remus will know that. I wish you luck, they are very different people from what you might expect." Dumbledore said, walking out of the room. They heard the door close behind him and most of the Order followed.

"All this time we could have gone to see them." Sirius said, shocked. "They were right there." Remus looked shocked as well, but he quickly stood. Do you still have your portkey Sirius?

"I would never dare get rid of it. It's still up in my room." He hurridly left the room. They all heard him hurrying up the stairs and searching through his room.

"He has a portkey to Harry's grandparents house?" Hermione asked confusedly.

"He used to live there during the summers while we were all still back at Hogwarts. As you can see, Sirius didn't get along with his parents too well." Remus smiled wryly. They all gave each other knowing looks, the woman in the portrait in the entryway didn't seem like a cheerful person to be around.

"I've got it." Sirius said, running into the room. In his hand he was holding a small granite statue of a lion. Placing it on the table he gestured everybody to come and get a finger on it. Once everyone was on the portkey Sirius tapped it with his wand and they were spinning through the air.
