Chapter 4. The Family Reunion

Harry thought that they would not be able to bring back Moody, Sirius, and Hedwig, but it turned out, Nagini only needed memories of them; memories that revolved around them. Hermione let the memories from a pensive be used to retrieve the necessary memories.

They decided that Angela would stay in the shadows. She never looked at any of them, afraid that she would kill them. The people that Harry and Nagini brought back dressed in black robes with hoods.

Harry actually hugged Snape when he came back. The skin stretched over their bones when Lily and James, Dumbledore, Lupin and Tonks came back. The people from the memories appeared like a telegraphic projector had made a live image of them.

Harry and his friends strode into the Great Hall happily. Harry wanted to scream that his parents and other were back, but he held himself back. Professor McGonagall was standing at the staff table in front of the throne chair where the Headmaster or Headmistress sits. She was talking to the students as they walked in. "What has happened here Potter? And what-" McGonagall and several other people gasped and had their wands out at the sight of Nagini and the hooded people. One of them had an awkward walk.

"Potter, why did you bring Death Eaters to our school? And how is it that Nagini is alive when I know for certain that she was killed? Also what is that creature?" she finished pointing at Anna.

Anna stepped forward and spoke softly as to not seem threatening. "I am a unestral." she said. "A what?" asked McGonagall, who was confused and wanted to take out her wand in addition to staring at Anna.

"A unestral." Anna repeated patiently. "A cross between three magical creatures: A unicorn, a Pegasus, and a thestral. I have the unicorn's horn," she said, moving her head (rhyme!), "The strength and independence of a pegisi," she continued moving her legs, "And the navigation skills and immortality of the thestral." But I have magic that is only possible of the three of them. I also have two things that they all have: An immensely pure heart, and loyalty. "But how did you get talents form all of them, you cant have 3 parents." Stuttered McGonagall. "My mother's mother was a unicorn, her father a pegisi, so she is an alicorn. My father is a thestral." She finished answering the question.

"What kind of nonsense is this Potter?" asked Professor McGonagall very annoyed. "This isn't nonsense professor." Said Harry.

"Are you all finished eating dinner?" asked Harry. Several yes's answered the question.

"All right then." Said Harry "Can all of you line up against that wall please?" he finished pointing his wand tip to the empty wall on his right.

The students all rushed over to the wall once Anna and Nagini had nodded, afraid of their power. Harry then waved his wand and used a wordless spell Anna had taught him quickly in the forest before they came back to Hogwarts. The House tables all rose up and disappeared, leaving several chairs in their place.

Each were together so that they formed a square, and there was a space between them that was wide enough to walk in single file. There were more chairs in the student's part of the square than the hooded part of the square. You could tell it was different; the chairs were gray instead of the house colors. This was because there were more students than hooded figures. Everyone sat down.

Harry then walked up to the throne in the middle of the staff table. Professor McGonagall stepped aside with no objection. "How many people here, honestly think that Severus Snape can be trusted?" Harry asked raising his own hand. Only about 20 people raised their hands, including the hooded people, so only 5 students, Harry included.

Hermione, Ron, Luna, and Neville were the only students who raised their hands. Harry had told them the truth after the war. Many people started shouting objections like "Snape killed Dumbledore!" and "Snape is greasy!"

"Why do you think that Snape hated my father so much?" asked Harry as he waved his wand, so that the Pensive floated over to him, and landed on the staff table.

"I think you will all change your minds when you see these memories." said Anna, walking up next to Harry, her horn glowing cerulean; with a long white tube floating above her head.

As she dropped the white tube into Harry's waiting arms, she turned around to face the spare above the staff table, where there was a huge square window. As everyone watched, she tipped her head forward, and her horn glowed cerulean. A screen replaced the window Harry had the tube connected to a projector. "There. Now I think we're ready." He said.

Thank you for reviewing and looking and following this story. I have written 8 chapters, and will try to type them up as quickly as possible.
