Full Summary: That night on October 31st, 1981 was forever imbedded in magical history, baby Harry Potter survived the killing curse, while his parents were killed. What if there was another child living in the Potter household? The story of the forgotten Potter.
Dedicated to SachiNyoko who inspired me to dust off my notebook and write this.
It also gets dark ahead. Abuse. Abuse. If you cannot guess who is getting abused I think you have some serious issues. ;)
You know I thought that people would get tired of my Rei-centric fics. Really. I must say I think its time for Ami to rise from beyond the shadows.
Woah, that was weirdly deep.
CHAPTER FOUR
A HERO TO SAVE ME (I'M NOT GOING TO STAND HERE AND WAIT)
When Sirius Black received Arabella Figg's owl, he was surprised that one of his old school friends actually trusted him, after all it had only been a couple days since he had been cleared.
When he read the contents of the letter he was furious, and at the same time so guilty, before he stormed off to save them he needed to tell someone where he was just so the Ministry didn't get too suspicious, that's when he contacted Meioh Setsuna (coincidentally an old flame), who he had suspected had a hand in him finally capturing Pettigrew.
So he had flooed to her mansion in Japan, boy had that been awkward, and informed her of the current situation.
He was now very antsy.
He had done something responsible and now it was time for him to do something rash and kill the Dursleys.
He was currently waiting for the go ahead from Setsuna, who upon his arrival had told him he looked like shit and then began formulating a plan.
"We have to contact the Ministry." She said softly.
"What? Why?" Sirius asked indignantly.
"They could arrest you for kidnapping, you don't need to spend more time in Azkaban." she reasoned somberly.
Sirius glared at her.
"Don't try that on me, it doesn't work." Setsuna said in response.
Sirius continued glaring.
"Fine, go get them, but don't scare them. They've been traumatized enough as it is." she said seriously.
Sirius schooled his features into a hard and stony glare, before he flooed out Setsuna said to him, "Once you've got them bring them back here."
Sirius looked at her funnily.
"Lily and James didn't only treat you as family, it's the least I can do." Setsuna said as she smiled grimly.
Sirius made a move to say something, "Shh, go they need you. It might be a good idea to ask Arabella for help, she's the only reason that Dumbledore isn't deciding 'the proper course of action' return the favor why don't you."
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Rei sniffled pathetically as she curled up in the corner of her closet.
Where was Harry?
Was he alright?
More tears made their way down her face as pain lanced through her, hunger growled in her stomach and dominated her thoughts.
She hadn't been fed in three days.
Although, Dudley had poured cold water through the slats in the door, which maybe wasn't the best thing.
Rei coughed, smothering the sound in her elbow, they couldn't hear her now.
"Harry, I hope you're alright." she murmured hoarsely as the door opened to reveal blinding light.
Rei was too tired to scream any more.
There's a place so dark you can't see the end
(Skies cock back) and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again
Arabella wasn't surprised with the speed of Sirius' arrival, she merely grimly bade him inside and sat at her kitchen table.
"That's the house." she pointed out of the window over the sink.
"Is it?" Sirius asked darkly.
"It is, I expect you'll be going over there, do you have a wand?" Arabella asked somberly.
"Yes, the Ministry finally released mine."
"Then we'll be going."
"We?" he asked curiously.
"Yes 'we', someone has to help you move the bodies." Arabella said firmly.
"As you wish, just don't get in my way." Sirius said acidly.
Arabella rolled her eyes, "Lead the way Belly."
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed / but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
And watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me / right underneath my skin
Harry vigorously rubbed at the stains on his worn glasses, he needed to get out of the cellar so he could find Rei and run away from here.
He hoped to God that she was alright.
But then again, God had never answered many of his prayers.
He nearly jumped ten feet in the air when he heard the door being kicked open.
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
Vernon Dursley had not been scared many times in his several years of obese existence, mostly because of aforementioned obesity.
But when a haggard looking man, with someone who suspiciously reminded him of Mrs. Figg, burst into his house with their freakish wands at the ready he was scared.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" he bellowed, his face coloring a fantastic currant purple.
Sirius smiled a sinister half-smile, he moved across the carpeted foyer like a Dementor of old, "Oh, Vernon I believe the question is what did you think you were doing when you laid one pudgy finger on my godchildren?" he leered softly.
Arabella took this time to bypass Vernon's (now) frozen form, and went upstairs, ignoring the shrieking Petunia, and the blubbering Dudley, who seemed to have wet his pants.
Carefully knocking on the walls, she finally found the concealed pantry that Rei occupied.
"No…don't hurt me…it wasn't my fault…Harry…where's Harry?" Rei said weakly, barely able to lift up her head.
Arabella hid her disgust at the Dursleys' treatment of a nine-year-old girl and took off her coat and after gently propping Rei up, wrapped said girl in it.
The most depressing thing was that the coat seemed to swallow her, Arabella frowned, that coat was small on her and Arabella was a very slender woman.
"I hope Sirius kills the Dursleys." She murmured as she picked up Rei and carried her out of the room.
"Sirius?" Rei asked dazedly from Arabella's warm shoulder.
"Yes, Sweetie, your godfather has come to beat the bloody stuffing out of your Uncle, so don't you worry poppet." Arabella said soothingly.
"He came, he came, I didn't even write him and he came." Rei said pathetically before losing consciousness.
Arabella frowned before walking into the kitchen to glare at a subdued Petunia, "You! You were supposed to be their aunt! Family! What kind of filth are you?" she asked accusingly.
"Don't you come into my house you little freak--"
"I'm the freak? Who's locking up nine-year-olds in storage closets?" Arabella said dangerously.
Petunia had nothing to say in response, "While you're standing there why don't you do something useful and make some tea, and crumpets, seeing as you're too normal to feed your own sister's children." Arabella snapped angrily, pointedly ignoring the loud yelling happening in the den.
Petunia stood stock still, "What are you just standing there for? Snap to it!"
Tending to Rei she, waved her wand several times, "Bugger! I still need to find Harry!" Arabella eyed Petunia, who was gathering crumpets, suspiciously, before she waved her wand once again, "Protego." A bright blue light erupted from her wand tip.
Before Petunia could complain Arabella said, "Where's Harry? Never mind I'll go find him, if you touch one hair on Rei's head I'll know, I could go to the corner store on the street or to the continent of Africa and I'd know, got that?" Petunia nodded.
Arabella walked through the den, ignoring the things that were flying through the air and splattering on the walls, she checked all the walls, and closets, and linen chests.
She frowned, what was the banging sound coming from the basement?
Seeing as that was the only place she hadn't looked, Arabella safely assumed that Harry was being imprisoned there.
When she kicked down the musty door she was assaulted by a very springy, malnourished nine-year-old boy, "Easy there, Harry boy I'm not going to hurt you." She said putting her hands up in surrender.
"You're not Aunt Petunia." Harry said disbelievingly.
"Thank god no, did you see the woman on that neck?" she said, smiling tensely.
Harry clambered off Arabella, "Where's Rei? Who are you? Where's Uncle Vernon?" he asked agitatedly.
"Easy does it, I'm Arabella Figg, Rei's finally getting some food in the kitchen, Uncle Vernon is getting his arse kicked by Sirius Black, who happens to be your godfather by the way, and I'm old Mrs. Figg from next door minus about twenty years."
"Huh." Harry said tiredly.
"I'll explain later, let's get you upstairs, how's the food around here?" she asked conversationally.
"My food or the food that's served to the Dursleys?" Harry asked.
"Either is fine, I have crumpets and tea being made." Arabella said as she herded Harry past the den and into the kitchen, where Petunia was huddled in a corner all the while Rei was emitting a soft blue light.
"What happened to her? Why is she glowing? What's happening? Did you do something to her? TELL ME--" Harry's frantic rant was cut off by Arabella calmly smacking him, "Relax, Harry my boy, Rei is fine, she's just sleeping, tea?"
Sister, I'm not much a poet, but a criminal
And you never had a chance
Love it, or leave it, you can't understand
A pretty face, but you do so carry on,
and on,
and on
A rather haggard Sirius walked into the kitchen, looking very much like the cat that ate the canary, "Are you alright?" he asked somberly, addressing Harry.
Harry's bespectacled eyes went very wide, "Are you?"
Sirius looked to the floor, "Yes I am."
Harry then promptly kicked him in the shins, "What took you so long?" he demanded, Sirius returned his gaze to the puke green linoleum tiles.
"Stop looking so guilty! Smile!" Harry demanded irately, "You know for such a shrimpy kid you sure do make a lot of demands." Arabella noted as she sipped her tea.
"James' blood is finally kicking in." Sirius grinned wolfishly; actually the proper word would be doggishly, Arabella smiled it had been a long time since she had seen that grin.

Kikiyo- Really? I'm getting new reviewers…ha!
SachiNyoko- When are you UPDATING? Eh? Anyway, I'll be skipping forward and then probably flashing back occasionally, by the way I have money either. I blow it all on manga and overpriced coffee from Barnes & Noble. Heh. I delayed this chapter mostly because the only computer with internet access was always occupied and I had school. Yeah, now no one's home and I can update…would you have any feedback on when I should introduce the G-boys? Help me out here. Tell me some of the weird ideas in your head. Great minds think alike, ne? Plus I'm a weirdo so I won't be confusing. :p
Raine of The Darkness Clan- I'm your hero? Aww, thank you maybe I shouldn't be telling you this, but I'm not going to kill him off either. TAKE THAT JKR!
Taeniaea- I think I misspelled your name again, sorry. Really, you loved that chapter? Very dark. Oh well.
Rena H. M.- Well, they didn't leave yet, but next chapter will go through a lot of things and explain the dark stuff.
Princess Ren- …hi.
mae-E- Do you read Harry Potter?
Raining Silver- I manipulate characters well. YEAH!
Tainted Spirit of Life- Isn't she? Isn't it odd that Serena was the only one with a set future, with a daughter and husband, how come the other senshi don't? I'll tell you why its because they're supposed to spend their whole lives protecting her and her family. How do you know Selenity isn't evil? We only see her interacting with Serena we don't know how she would treat the others. We don't know how she treated them on the moon, so I took some liberties, because I find the whole situation with the senshi and Princess Serenity to be very unfair. Serenity gets everything that equates to a happy life and they get diddly squat…thanks for your review. It will be nice to read your next review. Peace!
