A/N: Hey thank you all so much for reading, favoriting, following, and commenting. Your support is awesome and I hope you've all been enjoying this as much as I have.
In response to some commentary I have received, the timeline was more to establish how the book timelines mesh more than anything. Although you are correct, Dobby's magic and the dementors should have been there.
For those who found it too confusing here's some clarification. Lily and James graduated and got married, then had Percy a year later. After a year Percy disappears, another year and he is declared dead a week before Harry is born. The events of the two book series take place. This story of course takes place in fifth year, because I love the drama, and after the both wars.
Chapter 2 - It's Quite a Curious Predicament
He sat at the head of the table and waited till all had arrived and the room had settled past the friendly hellos that were customary upon greeting one another. Soon enough the room came to order.
Albus Dumbledore was a bit hesitant to share this information. Make no mistake he was not by any means nervous, I just hesitant. As far as informations sakes, it would be quite an effort to keep the attentions of everyone present long enough for them to get all the facts. It was actually quite exciting.
"Well Albus are we just going to sit here all day?" Came the voice of Sirius Black "What was so important that a meeting needed to be called so immediately?"
Of course with a question like that from the owner the residence they were currently in, immediately came the derisive snort from one Severus Snape along with the snarky comment of, "Honestly, as if it is much inconvenience to those of us who do nothing but laze around." While the banter could be entertaining enough sometimes, Albus cut them off this time. He needed to get this out.
"Please settle down. Thank you." Albus stood and all went silent. "Molly you have secured the impenetrable charms on the doors and windows of the room correct."
The red headed woman binned her head. "The last time I forgot, well, the boys with their inventions. You all remember." The room nodded. It had actually been quite lucky they haven't heard anything of great importance. "Yes well the charms are up on all doors, windows and vents." Molly assured.
"Good good, because I have news that is to be very strictly guarded." That garnered attention easily. "As you all know, the ministry's department of family records keeps the history of the pureblood lines." Nods "And also as I'm sure most of you know, the Potter scrolls were up for record update yesterday." More nods. "As the administrator for the Potter estate until Harry is of age, I was made aware of this information, James Sirius Potter is alive."
A/N: Was going to end here but it's way too short. :)
The room was silent for a moment before the inevitable noise began. Albus only sat down and waited until the Order members realized they would get nothing from him in this manner.
When everyone calmed down again, he continued, "For those who need to be caught up, there have always been tumors in the mill about the Potters having another child, many confuse the gender and age. What I am doing is confirming these rumors. Lily and James"
"Had an older son." Sirius cut Albus off in a voice of stone. Upon looking at the man, one would think he had no emotions at all. He sat stiffly, though for those who knew him well, they could tell he was barely holding it in.
Remus Lupin, in the chair beside Sirius, held rather the same emotion, though maybe a bit more cracked. "James Sirius Potter. James, my best mate, he named his son for me." Sirius couldn't seem to continue beyond that so Remus continued, "He was born in 1978. August 18th. Lily and James had only been married a year. It nearly destroyed them when…he...just...vanished. No trace. They declared him dead only a week before Harry was born. They wanted a fresh start. And they didn't want the sadness to hang over Harry. Sirius and I, we've both remember James. He looked so much like Harry did as a baby. I'd imagine they look similar now." Remus finished wistfully.
Molly, as well as several others, some of whom would never admit it (Moody), were in tears. "Well you know he's alive now so you can find out." The redheaded mother assured. She turned back to Albus, "Where is he now? When will he be coming?"
Before Albus could answer another question was asked, "Does the boy have any magical ability?" Came the slick voice of Severus Snape.
Albus was amused, though it didn't show. This was going exactly as he had predicted. "To answer all questions. It would seem that he spends most of his time in New York City and on Long Island, which is part of New York State."
This of garnered the question, "How on earth did he manage to end up there?" From several people.
Albus jumped on this before any more questions could be asked. "Ah yes, this question can answers by answering Severus' question. You see in June of 1989 James' magical signature was detected in New York City. From there it has been detected in quite a few places in the United States as well as for a period of time last summer in Italy and Greece. More specifically Rome, Epirus, Olympia, and Athens." This was sobering. There was so much turmoil with the magical governments of those countries lately. It was worrying to think that James had been mixed up in all of it. "Don't fear, his signature is back in New York as of now. From the amount of time he is there I'd say he lives there. But we will see when we go to collect him."
"We? Who's going?" Asked Molly.
"Myself along with the small party of Sirius, Remus, Minerva, and Severus." Albus replied. "Please be ready to leave soon. We shall depart first thing in the morning." Albus was at the door when he turned around. "Oh yes one more thing. The boy has spent the last 17 years under the impression that his name is Perseus Jackson. It would do well to remember this." And with that he left.
A/N: Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! Please leave comments!
Next chapter will have the group going to NY to find and collect Percy. Boy are they are in for a shock.
