In the months after the Battle of Hogwarts and school having finished Imani and the others were finishing patching up Hogwarts, their lives and their homes. Although Imani felt slightly out of place when she saw the Weasley's together rebuilding and grieving. She to was grieving for the less of close friends, Fred Weasley and Collin Creevey being two of them, but she didn't have any real family to be around. Harry and her were alone.
"Harry." Imani said one day when they sat on the stairs of the repaired Weasley Burrow.
"Yeah?"
"I've been thinking..." she trailed off. She was having conflicting thoughts about what she was about to say.
"Imi you know you can tell me anything." Harry said grabbing her hand. She smiled and gripped his hand back.
"Remember 4th year? In the graveyard? When we saw mum and dad?" She said
"Yeah..." Harry said confused as to where his almost sister was going with this.
"Mum said my parents, my biological parents, live in America." She said looking down not bringing herself to look at his face. "I want to find them Harry but... I feel so guilty. You don't have any parents and here I am wanting to find mine." Imani gushed out finally looking at Harry. She didn't find the anger or disappointment she expected, she saw understanding.
"Look I'm surprised you haven't wanted to go find them sooner." He said.
"I haven't really had the time, between homework, death eaters and Voldemort." Imani chuckled, together they shared a good laugh at all that had happened in the past 7 years. When the two really thought about it, it seemed utterly ridiculous they even survived. As the laughter died down Imani got serious again.
"Harry just don't forget that you'll always be family to me."
"Of course sis." Harry said hugging her tightly and she hugged back just as tightly. That's how their two best friend Hermione and Ron found them.
"What's going on?" Ron asked.
"Imani wants to find her parents." Harry said with his arm draped brotherly over Imani's shoulders. The two were taken aback.
"Come on guys you've both known that Harry and I aren't actually biological siblings." Imani said seeing their faces.
"Yeah but to be honest I thought you were... well... an orphan." Ron said. Hermione whacked the back of his head.
"Ron!" She exclaimed.
"Oof! Sorry!" He said rubbing the back of his head. The two Potter's chuckled.
"I think it's great you want to find them. Any clues?" Hermione asked turning to her friend.
"All I know is their last name started with an 'S' and they live in America." Imani said shrugging. Ron's face looked confused as well as Harry's.
"Where?" Ron asked. Imani chuckled.
"They live in a town in California... America." Imani said trailing off looking at Harry. All three were shocked at how far away Imani's family was.
"Woah that's a long way." Harry said. Imani nodded.
"Well it's good then that we can all apparate." Hermione said lightening the mood. Imani smiled at her.
"Now what's this? You four aren't planning something are you?" Mrs Weasley asked seeing the group huddled together.
"No Mrs Weasley we were just talking about finding my family." Imani said smiling.
"Oh?" Molly said not expecting that kind of answer.
"It's kind of obvious Harry and I aren't biological siblings."
"Oh yes I knew that dear. So do you know where they are?" She asked instead of asking the same thing Ron had.
"Yeah I've got a few clues. But they live in California, America."
"My that is quite a distance isn't it?" Molly said sighing and smiling her cheeky motherly smile that Imani had always loved. "I think you are very brave in wanting to find your family after such a long time." She said pushing some hair out of Imani's face.
"Thanks Mrs Weasley." Imani said.
"No need to thank me dear. Now I'll go get Arthur and see if we can't help you out somehow." Molly said before bustling off.
