Chapter 2- Harry Finds Out
The silence in the Weasley's kitchen was painful. The girl's ears were ringing. 'Maybe I shouldn't have told them that my brother was Harry Potter.' she thought to herself. Ron stared at her with his mouth wide open. "Harry's my best friend! He never told me that he had a sister!" he said dumbfounded. Ariana stared at him. "Harry's your friend?! I can't believe this!" she exclaimed happily.
The ring glinted all the while; twirling around with the girl's every movement. "Wait, wait! You can't be Harry's sister because Lily and James Potter only had a son! You must be an imposter or something. You say that your ring is the same color as your brother's eyes and that it is the only possession that your parent's left you. That can't be true because Lily died with her wedding ring on!" Mr. Weasley said. Mrs. Weasley looked at her. The girl looked desperate to meet her brother. The ring looked too big for her finger….
"Arthur, wait. Can't you see that the ring is obviously too big for her finger? And what about James' ring? Did he have his ring on or not? Harry always said that Sirius could kill himself because he doesn't know what's become of his ring." Mrs. Weasley said, getting up to serve breakfast. Mr. Weasley contemplated that. Ron still looked dumbfounded. "But how do you not know your name? And if you are his sister, why did you decide to show up now? We're in the 4th year already!" Ron said. The girl glared at him. "I never went to a magical school because the man who enslaved me kept me home all the time. I don't know my name because he always called me 'girl' or 'wench'." she said through clenched teeth. Ron's mouth shaped into a little 'o'. "I'm younger than Harry by a full year, so that means that I'm 13." she explained. Ginny jumped up. "I'm thirteen too!" she exclaimed. "I finally get someone my own age." she sighed happily.
Just then, the flames in the fireplace roared to life. Hermione Granger stepped out with her school trunk and her hairy orange tabby cat, Crookshanks. "Good morning everyone." She greeted them brightly. "Hi Hermione." Everyone said back. The girl just stared at Hermione. "Hi." she echoed softly. Hermione glanced at the girl, and then did a double take. "No way! Are you Ariana Potter?!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
Suddenly, the ring around the girl's neck glowed green and a hologram appeared. Lily and James were standing side-by side. Lily was holding a little baby girl and James was holding a miniature Harry's hand. "Hello Ariana. If you see this message, then someone has found out your name. We're really sorry that we gave you to Tyfirious, but we had no choice! Voldemort would surely think that you'd be with your brother, so we had to separate the two you. Harry probably doesn't remember you, but don't worry. We'll come back and remind him. But for not, we always want you to remember that we love you!" Lily said. Ariana's eyes filled with tears. "I love you too, mama." She whispered. Ron, Ginny, and Mr. Weasley watched on in disbelief. "The Potter's really did have another child!" Mr. Weasley muttered. Mrs. Weasley smiled triumphantly as Ariana silently cried in happiness at the finding of her name.
But little did they know, Harry DID remember. "Ariana? Is that really you?" he asked. Ariana looked up and saw her brother standing in the kitchen doorway.
