As he walked up to Harry, He was going over in his mind how to tell him. He didn't know if it would upset him or not, but he believed they deserved a chance to meet each other after so many years, plus he wanted to see the expression her face when they met, if in fact she didn't pass out. He also had to tell them of his plans to accompany Harry to Australia.

"Harry, could I talk to you for a minute. I think it time for your mom and my mom to meet."

Harry looked At Dudley for a minute as if he were insane, then he started to laugh. He laughed so loud, Ginny had to see what was so funny. "Harry, what are you laughing at? Can you let me in on your joke? Dudley, can you tell me what struck Harry as so funny?"

"I just told Harry it was time for both our mothers to meet."

Ginny started laughing as hard as Harry.

Harry gained control of himself, and said, "Sorry Big D, it's just that the thought of mom and Aunt Petunia meeting, with your mom being what 39, and my mom being 22, can you see why it's not funny?"

"I was thinking of the look on mom's face when she saw Aunt Lily, and if she would pass out or not. So, ya, I can see where it would be funny. But I still think they have to meet, plus I have to let her know what we are planning on doing. So do you think we should ask Aunt Lily and Uncle James if they would come with?"

"Oh ya, D, I think we should, and if you didn't mind, I think Sirius would like to visit also."

"Why Sirius?"

"He deserves a good laugh right now, don't you think?"

"He seems like he is in a pretty good mood to me, why would he need a good laugh?"

"Two years ago, Sirius never got a chance to see Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, to scare the living hell out of them for their treatment of me. I just think, this would be even better than what he had planned to do to them."

"Now I get it, you want him to see my parents think they are seeing ghosts. You do realise that my dad could have a heart attack seeing them, don't you?"

"You're the one to suggest it D, not me. Besides, if anything should happen, my mom would be there to take care of him. Ginny, do you know how to get ahold of Colin. This sounds like a Kodak moment?"

"I believe I can get him, just give me a minute."

Harry then called for his mom, dad, and Sirius. "Mom, Dad, Sirius, Big D thinks it is time for you to meet Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia, and I agree with him. I think we should all go over and see them. Uncle Vernon is probably working, but he might be able to take off to talk to D, if he thought it was important."

"Why are you including me Harry?"

"Sirius, two years ago, you planned on meeting them to put the fear of God in them. Don't you want to be there when it is a 22 year old Lily that does it instead? Besides what else have you got planned?"

"Hey. I might have some big plans for Amelia and I, that I just couldn't break. you never know"

"Do you?"

"No, but I might have. But, yes I would love to be there when old Blubber Puss, sorry Dudley, Vernon, busts a gut when he sees James and Lily Flower in the flesh and blood. Oh I wish I had a camera."

"Already taken care of, Ginny is getting a hold of a friend who happens to be an expert photographer. And speak of the devil, Colin how are you?"

Ginny and Colin were just walking in on there conversation. "I'm fine Harry, how about yourself?"

"Great, listen, I don't know how much Ginny told you, but all we want you to do is take pictures. And if we like them, we will give you 100 galleons for you time, plus, if you want, a job offer to come to work for us. What do you say?"

"I could really use the galleons to get my books for next year, so yes, but what was that about a job offer?"

"You do a good job with this session, and we will talk about it, OK?"

"Sure Harry."

"Well is everyone ready to go then?"

"Harry, can I come?"

"Ginny, it was already decided for you to come. Sorry if I just didn't come out and ask, but if you are to be a part of my life, which I pray to God you will, then you don't have to ask me, just do it. you can believe me when I say, you are a part of my life, and I never want you to feel unwanted."

"Thank you Harry, I just didn't want to intrude in your family time."

"You are a part of my fmily, so there is no intrusion, now let's go see the Dursley's Minus Big D or with him which ever the case may be."

And with that they departed Black Manor and reappeared in the park near where the Dursleys lived.

Dudley walked up to the door of his house and walked in. he called for his mother and she came rushing in to the hallway to give him a big hug. "Oh Dudders. We missed you. Did you have fun? Did Harry give you and Lisa a hard time, because if he did, I will get your father after him."

"Mom, I'm fine, and no, Harry treated me very good. And Lisa and I had a splendid time. Now, I was wondering if you could see if dad could come home early, as I have something very important to ask you both, and I want you both to meet someone?"

"Alright Dudders, I call and see if he can take off."

Petunia made the phonecall and told him he would be home in 20 minutes.

Then she asked who it was that he wanted them to meet?

"Mom, I believe you should sit down, because this may be kind of hard to take. If you could see anybody from your past right now, who would it be? Anybody at all."

"My mom and dad, and my sister, your Aunt Lily, although, I don't believe she would want to see me. None of them would. I may not have been on the best of terms with them."

"So you would like to see Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Lily. Well I'm sorry, I can't help you with Grandma and Grandpa."

"Of course you can't dear, they are all dead, so it is pointless to wish for something you just can't have."

"Mother, did you hear what I said?"

"Yes, you said you couldn't help me with Grandpa, Grandma and Lily."

"No I didn't, I said I couldn't help you with Grandma and Grandpa."

"Dudders, that is what I just said."

"Mom, listen to me, ok, I have brought someone here to see you. You haven't seen this person in over 16 years, and would like to get to know you again. Would you like to get to know her as well?"

"That's an awful long time for us to be apart, what if I don't know her?"

"Trust me mother, you will know her instantly. Now would you like to meet her?"

"If you are so sure I will know her, Dudders, then yes I would like to meet her."

Dudley went to the door, grabbed a hand and pulled her in.

Petunia looked at her and said, "Dudley, I haven't the faintest idea who this person is, although she does look familiar."

"Oh shit, wrong one."

"Dudley, watch your language." This came from Petunia and outside the door. To Petunia, the voice sounded to familiar, but that couldn't be. But yet she knew that voice. She started to get up, when Dudley put a hand on her shoulder, to keep her in place. He then walked back to the door, and brought the next person in. With this one, Petunia looked at her and screamed. "No, it can't be, your dead. Oh please take this imposter away. Dudders, why are you playing this nasty trick on me. You knew who I would say, and had it all set up, didn't you. Please stop this lie."

'Tuney, this is no lie. I am your sister Lily. Ask me anything that only you and I would know."

"What did I sing to Dudders to get him to sleep, and who sang it originally?'

"Wow that is a toughy. Hold on a minute, let me think. Oh ya, now I remember, Dolphin's Lullaby, and I believe it was sung by a group called Firelight."

"Fall, the group was Firefall, but you're right. Lily is that really you. Oh God please let it be you. I couldn't take it if this was a prank."

"Tuney."

Lily went flying into Petunia's arms and they danced around the hallway, laughing at nothing as they hadn't said another word. This whole time. Colin had been taking pictures. From the time Lily walked through the door to the dance in the hallway, taking pictures of Petunia, Lily, Ginny, Dudley, James, Sirius and Harry. He got them all together for a group picture, and then another.

Then there was a shout from the door way, "What the bloody hell is going on in here. And what is the freak doing in my house. Who are the rest of these freaks. Get them out, all of them, right now."

Sirius had his wand pulled and pointed up under Vernon's triple chin, resting between a fold.

"You ever call my godson that name again, you will not live to regret it, do you get me fat ass. I have been in prison once, and I will go again if you continue this degrading demeanor towards Harry, James, Lily, Ginny and me. Do I make my self clear?"

"You can't threaten me in my own house, I know the law, and you......"

The next thing Vernon knew he was in the same storm drain that Harry and Dudley met the Dementors.

"We are not in your house now you over sized pile of horse shit, and now I am putting my wand away. We are on even terms, now as you were saying."

Vernon was shaking like a leaf, this was the same man who had killed thirteen people at on time, and then escaped from a high security prison. Vernon, all of a sudden, felt wet down below, as his bladder let loose with a full stream that didn't stop until it was empty.

"I didn't think so, your only strong against people you know can't stand up to you. But if I ever hear that you are bullying anyone, and I mean anyone, at home, work or anywhere, I will find you, and you will pay the consequence for your folly. Now get going, before I lose my temper."

Vernon started walking back to his house, shamed by the fact that he voided his bladder in his clothes.

As soon as he got in his house he went upstairs aand never came back down while they were there.

Sirius got looks from everyone, but he swore that he never touched or jinxed him once. All he did was talk.

It was getting late, and there was an important event taking place tonight, that everyone wanted to be there for. Dudley told his mothert of his plan to go to Australia with Harry's family, and Petunia started to cry.

"Mom, I'll be coming back, it's not like I'm moving there, it's just that Harry's brother is getting married and I want to be there for it."

"Harry's brother. When did Harry get a brother, and how come he didn't go live with him when.."

The silence lasted for a few minutes.

Harry spoke up and said, "Dobby has only been my brother for a few days, he was sort of adopted."

"What do you mean sort of. And if he was adopted then isn't he kind of young to be getting married?"

"It's a long story, and right now we don't have that much time. We have to get going for a very important ceremony. We will watch out for Dudley. Nothing will happen to him while he is with us, except for some pranks, which he has already been a part of. Nothing serious."

"What about me?"

"I was not talking about you."

"Then why did you say my name?"

"I didn't say your name."

"You most certainly did so. I heard you say nothing Sirius. "

"Grow up you old mutt."

Giggleing, Lily walked over to Petunia, and wrapped her up in a hug, and said they would have to meet up when she got back.

"You Promise."

"I promise."

"I love you Lily, you have got to believe me, I really do."

"I believe you Tuney, and I love you too, but it may take a while to trust you to the extent of being a family again. You treated Harry like shit, and that is going to be hard to get over. The only thing that I can say, is that Harry has turned to be a perfect gentleman, and I don't know if you had anything to do with it or not, but for now I will give you the benefit of the doubt."

They all left, leaving Petunia crying, fearing that she got her sister back, only to lose her again. And then it hit her, why was Lily so much younger looking than her, she only looked about twenty, how could that be. Oh she hoped she would see her again, there were so many questions she wanted to ask her. She walked over to the desk, and started writing down questions, so that she wouldn't forget.

When they got back to the manor, dinner was being served. Hermione asked the question every body was wondering about. "Where have you all been, and why is Colin here?"

Ginny started the explaination and the reason why Colin was here. They all laughed when Sirius told them about Vernon, even Dudley. He was starting to fit in well with this family, and if it wasn't for his mother, he could see himself living here and loving it.

Colin said. "If it is alright, after dinner, I will develope the film and show you guys my work. And I do hope you like it, as the job Harry talked about could come in handy, as I could always use a few galleons."

"That sounds fine, Colin, but I never said anything about pay."

"Oh."

"Cheer up Colin, I'm only pulling your leg. If these pictures are as good as they were in school, I am sure we will be talking about a job. And by the way, Ginny, Hermione, Luna, Ron, Draco and I will be going back to school next year, and I am going to talk to Minerva about allowing Dobby to attend 7th year to understand the wizarding world better in order to perform his duties better. Oh one more thing, if those pictures are of the quality that I suspect, you might want to pack your bags, because you will be coming to Australia with us."

"Why is that?"

"Dobby will be getting married, and we will need wedding pictures, so hurry up and eat, so that you can develope that film."

"Aye Aye sir. And might ask who the lucky lady is?"

"You might."

"Well, who is it then?"

"Why don't I ask the lucky lady herself to answer you?"

"Harry, if you don't mind, I would like to be the one to answer him."

"Sure Dobby, go right ahead."

Dobby got from his chair and started walking around the table. He stopped at Narcissa, and she looked up and smiled at Dobby. He leaned over and kissed Cissy, came back up and said nice, but not her. He then went to Ginny, and she pulled him down into a kiss, and then released him, "OH boy, if only, but that's private stock of one H.J. Potter and not to be messed with. He then went to Lily, leaned over to kiss her when James' hand came between them, Lily looked at him and said "Spoil sport, taking away all my fun." James said. "OK fine go ahead and see if I care. You show your tounge and your dead elf, got me."

Dobby stuck his tounge out at James, leaned over and kissed Lily on the cheek, and said, "I might be crazy, but I am not stupid. Although you might want to watch her like a hawk as she is prize material for any carefree gent who comes along."

Next was Tonks, as he bent down to kiss her, she changed her appearence to look like Dumbledore. After he had kissed her he started spitting hairs out of his mouth and yelling "Gross, that tasted like lemons and old age. Remind me to never to kiss you again. Blehhh."

Lisa was next, and he kissed her and she faked passing out, having Dudley catch her. "Yup that there is a definate possibility."

Luna was next, and leaned over and kissed her on the nose, and didn't say anything, and then moved to Susan. Draco was hiding his face in his hands, not wanting to look. Dobby leaned over and gave her a kiss, and held it longer than anyone he had kissed. "Yahoo, we have a winner, and he went back to Luna, and started to kiss her like there was no tomorrow."

"Uh Dobby, did you forget someone?"

"No, Hermione, I don't think so. Did I forget someone my Lunar love goddess?"

"I'm afraid so your Majesty. And I do believe you better apologise, or she might get pretty angry and hex your bits."

"How does she know I even have bits?"

Silence.

"OK that went over well, Hermione, I am sorry for passing you by, but you are three up on everybody but Luna right now, so I have to let the others catch up."

"Excuse, me. I hate to break this up, but I must adjourn to my room, as the time is drawing near."

Everyone looked to Remus, as he turned to go the stairs. Tonks came running over to him hugged and kissed him thoroughly and wished him luck.

He went on up to the room set aside for his transformation, Buckbeaks old room.

A half an hour later, They heard a howl. Tonks lowered her head and started to cry. Then they heard another howl, and then a laugh and another laugh and then a few minutes later another howl. Sirius looked up the stairs,and said, "What the hell is going on. He heard another howl, and then more laughter. That was it, he couldn't take any more, and before anyone could stop him he bolted up the stairs to Moony's room. "Moony are you all right?"

Nothing.

"Moony answer me."

A howl.

"Dammit, why couldn't this go right. Everything else has been so perfect, why couldn't this be also."

He sat down at the door, and was joined by James, as Tonks had to go to work. James looked at Sirius and was surprised to see tears forming in his eyes.

"Pads, it was only a possibility that he might have been cured, there was no guarantee. And he is still Remus the other 353 days of the year."

"It's not right Prongsy, he should be free of the curse. He should be just like us, and live a normal life."

"I am just like you, well not exactly like you, as I am smarter than you after all."

"Moony!"

"Yes Pads, it's me."

"But I thought you changed into, you know Moony?"

"Nope, I changed into Wolfy."

"Wolfy?"

"Well seeing as I can change when ever I want to, Not just on full moons, I don't think Moony is appropriate anymore, do you?"

James and Sirius jumped up and hugged him fiercely. "Lets all change and go see the family."

They did, and startled everyone in the sitting room when they appeared. Especially WOLFY.

Sirius had a thought, and asked Colin if he had developed his pictures yet. He had, and Sirius said, "Can you come with James, Wolfy and I, to take more pictures?"

"I guess, where are we going?"

"To the Ministry and see Tonks."

James and Remus looked at Sirius and laughed. It was a brilliant idea.

Everyone else wanted to go, but thought it might have been a bit too much. They did ask Dobby to go.

"Why just me?"

"Because we are going to need protection from Tonks when we scare her half to death."

"Gotcha."

They flooed to the ministry, and took the elevator to The floor that the Aurors were stationed at.

They then transformed to their animagus forms and paraded to the Auror station. Dobby asked if Tonks was here or on patrol, and said she had desk duty tonight. Perfect.

They went around the corner, and pulled up short of the control room where Tonks was. Dobby stood off to the side, and opened the door for Wolfy to go in. Colin took a position for taking pictures with no interference. Wolfy leaped into the room and on the desk infront of Tonks. Tonks screamed and pulled her wand from her holster faster than they could have guessed, and blasted Wolfy across the room. Luckily it was not a lethal curse, just a repulsor curse to get Wolfy away from her until she figured out why he was here and what he wanted.

Pads and Prongs bounded into the room and ran to Wolfy to make sure he was alright. Wolfy got up on his paws, shaking his head and growled, that sounded like a laugh. Colin had been taking pictures since the beginning, and was laughing so hard, Tonks noticed. "Colin what are you doing here, and Dobby. Are you here to pull pranks with Pads and Prongs and who's the new guy....Remus is that you?"

Remus changed back to his human form, and was attacked by the tonks and wrestled to the ground. "Does this mean what I think it means, hope it means."

"Yes my love. it means exactly that. You will never see or hear from MOONY again. From now on I am Wolfy. There is no more fear of full moons, except when Sirius walks around the the halls after taking a shower and forgetting his towel."

It was now official, they were all just one big happy family. "Dobby, have you got something to say?"

"You know I do, I have said it before, I'll say it again, and then again, If there is a luckier elf on this planet, I want to meet him, because I don't believe it. This family just gets more amazing all the time. That's probably the reason why I love them soo much. Oh and folks, no cliffie today."
