Chapter 3: Unexpected News

Harry tightened his grip on Ginny and looked at the others. He had a very determined look on his face, he took and deep breath, "I'll do it."

OOOOO-OOOOO

Everyone seemed to freeze as Harry finished, he looked around and clarified, "Look. Everyone is depending on me to kill him…if I don't then…n-no one will. So it's up to me. And if I don't do this…chances are that I will die. So I will do whatever is necessary to defeat Voldemort." Harry finished with a deep breath.

Lily looked at her son with a new sense of respect, "Sweetheart…we…w-"but Harry interrupted her.

"NO! I am doing this!...I have too!" Harry released Ginny and stepped to where he was standing just in front of his mother and father. "I am doing this for everyone I love! That includes you! I just got you back! And I will be damned if I let you get taken away again!" He looked turned to Dimitri, "Including you too." He smiled.

Dimitri smirked, "Well that's just because I am an adorable half demon who makes you smile without even trying!"

Harry chuckled, "Dimitri, seeing as how they probably won't support my decision. How long will it take to prepare for the blessing?"

Dimitri looked thoughtful for a second, "Well the blessing requires a certain amount of magic and…well like I said, the will to live required to survi-"

Harry held up his hand, "How soon?"

Dimitri flinched, "Right now, if you so choose!"

Harry smirked, "I so choose."

Dumbledore coughed, "Harry you need to listen to reason."

Harry barked with laughter, "Your reason! Not this time! It was your reason that got Sirius killed! It was your reason that put me in the oh so loving care of the Dursleys! No! Your reason is shot."

James and Lily visibly tensed, James was wearing a grim expression, "Harry, Sirius' death was a tragic accident. I regretted not being here sooner so I could help him. Harry what you need to understand is that people make mistakes. And Albus made one. To say that we were a little upset that you had to live with the Dursleys…is an understatement. He isn't perfect, and there is definitely some room for improvement in the decision making department..." James looked at Harry and smirked, "You know…Growing up with Sirius and now Dimitri, has trained me well at being able to tell whether or not someone is being serious or not…And I look at you…" He glanced toward his wife who nodded hesitantly, James continued, "I can see that you are serious and that you won't take no for an answer. I will help you."

Harry's eyes snapped to his mother, who also nodded. He then looked nervously toward Ginny. She met his eyes with hers and was surprised to find that she was staring at him with a very serious face. She took a step toward him and lifted her hand. Harry flinched slightly thinking she was about to slap him, when her hand came down in front of his face pointing at him.

Harry sighed in relief, Ginny smirked, "I believe in you, and I will support you in whatever you do, but if you die or even think about dying I will kill you myself! Do you hear me!" Ginny snapped.

Harry flinched back, then laughed, "Yes ma'am!" said Harry, saluting.

Harry glanced at Dimitri, and then blushed. Dimitri was leaning on James as both of them were howling with laughter, waving their hands in little whip lashes. Lily was giving them a reprimanding look. Even Dumbledore had a smirk on his face.

Harry was smiling but his face slowly faded into a frown. He turned toward his parents and walked up to them glaring. James and Lily looked at him curiously, then seemed to understand what was about to be asked. Harry sighed, "So…what took you a month to finally come see me?"

Lily was about to start when James cut her off, "Look…Harry, you need to understand that coming back from the dead isn't something that can be accomplished in one day. You see…we were afraid that if we came straight to you…well…that we would scare you sense-less."

Lily decided to continue, "So we figured it would be best to explain ourselves to Albus and find out what happened while we were absent. That was when we heard about you being sent to live with my sister. I wasn't at all happy to hear about Sirius getting accused for betraying us. And needless to say, we were even more shocked to hear that he was killed just 4 days before we got back…that took some time to settle with. But what took us the larger half of the month was the Ministry."

James chuckled, "Yeah. Apparently they like their dead people to stay dead. Oh they were happy to see that we were alive and well…but that didn't stop them from putting us through every screening known to man. We were in custody for 3 and a half weeks until they finally believed us. And meanwhile we had Dimitri come keep you company sense we weren't able to make it."

Harry listened to their story, then smiled, "Thanks, I should have known that there was a good reason…um…does uh, Remus know?" Harry asked hesitantly.

James was sporting a gigantic grin at this point, "The look on his face was priceless…He came into Dumbledore's office while he was filling us in and well. Let's just say that he fainted…It took us a few hours to get him to listen. It was interesting. But needless to say, we ended up convincing him and got him to help us set up our house again. Which, by the way, you may come live with us for the remainder of the summer if you would…you know…like?"

Harry stood frozen, 'did they just ask what I think they asked!' Harry thought excitedly. He took a breath and smirked, "I would love to!"

James let out a sigh of relief, "Oh thank god! For a second I thought you were going to say no."

James was looking fondly at his son, as another grim thought came into his head. He looked at Lily who simply nodded, before he spoke, "There is something else. Something that happened to our family that should never have happened…" He looked at Harry before he continued. "Harry…when you were born…you had a twin sister." Harry's eyes widened with shock. There were tears in Lily's eyes as she continued for her husband.

"While we were at the ministry, an old acquaintance stopped by and told us that they had finally gathered the information that we had required so long ago. She was kidnapped from the nursery the night you two were born. It didn't seem like they were going for anyone in particular, they just grabbed a baby and ran. James and I were extremely upset. So we took you home after that and tried to piece our lives back together. We had many searches for her but none of them ended with her being found."

James pulled his wife close, "Harry. We found her. We had hired an investigator to look for her, and even though we died, he didn't give up." He held up his hand so he could finish the story, "It turns out that whoever kidnapped her had died somewhere in the states after we had been sent to the demon realm, because she was put in an orphanage. She lived there for 2 years by the name of Emily Liz. She was adopted at the age of 3 by a muggle family, the Harpers. They cared for her until they found out that she was a witch. So she was kicked out of their house at the age of 11." James was getting angrier as he spoke. "She became a ward of a wizarding school in the states and has lived there for the past 5 years."

Harry was visibly shaking with anger. 'HOW COULD SOMEONE DO THAT TO A LITTLE GIRL! HOW!' Harry looked at Ginny who seemed to be pretty pissed off as well. Ginny looked at James, "So when are you going to get her?"

James looked at Ginny and sighed, "We have been thinking about it and we wanted to tomorrow. Oh, there was also something that the Headmaster at the school in the states told me that…well I am a bit curious to see what he means."

Harry looked at his Dad with curiosity, "What did he say."

James smiled at his son's curiosity, secretly hoping that the blessing would be forgotten to Harry. "He said that she doesn't have any friends, and because of that, she is really quiet and has a lot of time to herself. She is the top student at the school, and he said that she is very well mannered. But what really poked at my curiosity was what he said her odd talent is." He looked around and noticed that everyone was leaning in; he continued "She plays a guitar, and from what the headmaster told me…she is amazing. But the most interesting part about this talent is…that she can make the sound produce spells. She casts spells with her guitar."

Everyone gasped. Harry looked shocked, 'Cast spells….with music….wow'

James looked at everyone's shocked faces and smiled, "I know. I am interested in seeing this too. But that ritual is going to take 24 hours, so afte-"

Harry cut him off, "Piss on the ritual! This is way too important to put off any longer!"

Dimitri looked at Harry fondly, 'he really does put everybody before himself.'

Dumbledore was smiling at the exchange that had just occurred. Not only did they get Harry to post pone the ritual, they were going to get his sister back. 'I am still curious as to how this will affect Harry's and Emily's power. If I am right…and I hope I am. Harry won't even need the ritual.'

Harry looked at Ginny who nodded her approval. He then looked back to his parents, "When can we go." James was about to answer but before he could, Dumbledore had stepped forward.

"Ah. I was hoping we would reach this conclusion. I took the liberty of making a portkey for just such a trip to a certain school in the states united."

Harry smiled at Dumbledore, 'I gotta give it to him. He is right more often than he is wrong.'

Dumbledore smiled back at Harry, "I am assuming this means you all want to join me on a little trip to save a young girl from a lonely life in the states?"

James and Lily looked at Dumbledore and nodded. Harry pulled Ginny closer to him as they both nodded. Dimitri just smirked, "Are you honestly asking me if I am coming?"

Dumbledore chuckled before drawing his wand, "Expecto Patronum" a silvery phoenix shot out of the tip of his wand. "Tell the Weasley family that I am borrowing their daughter for a special mission. She will be back tomorrow at the latest." As he finished, the phoenix zoomed off.

Dumbledore reached into his pocket and pulled out a small iron chain. "Ok everyone, grab on. We have a long port key ride ahead of us."

Everyone moved forward to grab the chain. Harry and Ginny grabbed the chain and before they disappeared Ginny kissed Harry on the cheek.

OOOOO-OOOOO

In a small mountain range somewhere in the northern part of Washington State, there was a special school for wizards and witches alike. The halls of the small building which would normally be crowded by students trying to make it to class on time were now empty.

Summer vacation had arrived for the small private school in the north. It's only occupants were the grounds keeper, the kitchen elves and a lonely just turned 16 year old girl by the name of Emily Liz. She had shoulder length black hair with a red streak in her bangs. She wore her hair layered to accent her bangs. She had a heart shaped face; her skin was a delicate shade of ivory. She had a thin athletic figure, with bright emerald eyes.

Her last name had been dropped when she was disowned at the age of 11 and became the ward of the school. She was sitting on the edge of her bed, guitar in hand. The room was silent, except for a very soft and slightly eerie tune filling the air. For the past 5 years, Emily's only friend had been her guitar and she let all of her emotions lead her fingers across the fret board. She remembered the first time that she ever played; it was the happiest day of her life, until now. The letter informing her that her birth parents were alive lay open on the bed beside her.

Dear Miss Emily Liz,

We are pleased to inform you that your birth parents are alive and will be coming to see you as soon as possible. They were believed to be dead for the past 15 years. They will tell you their story, but it all checks out. You will have the choice to either stay under the ward-ship of the school, or you can take your place as the daughter of one James and Lily Potter.

Respectfully,

Amelia Bones

Minister for Magic

London, England

Emily just couldn't believe it; 'My parents are alive?' She got up from her bed and slid her guitar on her back, she didn't go anywhere without it. She decided that she would take a little walk around the school. She made to step out of the common room when an elf popped up in front of her.

Slightly startled, Emily backed up a bit, "Dink! You scared the shit out of me! What do you want?"

Dink smiled, "Dinky has been told to fetch Miss Emily he has. So here I am." Dinky held out his hand and Emily grabbed it. They both vanished with a small pop.

They reappeared in a small conference room. Dinky motioned for her to take a seat and vanished. She sat there for a few minutes taking in her surroundings. There were 7 other chairs around a circular table. The room was dreadfully boring as there were no windows and the walls was painted a dull grey. Emily moved in her seat a bit as her headmaster entered the room.

She looked at him with a confused look, "Professor Dechlaman? What's going on?"

The Headmaster smiled warmly at her, "You shall see in a moment my child. Just keep an open mind and don't get too angry with them. They could not help what happened."

Emily smiled back at her headmaster, "I am sure they couldn't….at least. I hope they couldn't."

With that, the headmaster left the room. A few seconds later there was a knock at the door.

Emily waited for a second, nerves getting the best of her; She pulled her guitar in front of her and began playing a beautiful melody, she took a deep breath and sighed, "Come in."

The door opened slowly to allow 6 people to enter, the first, Emily noticed was a tall and slender old man with half moon glasses and a very amused look on his face. The second was a young man with sandy brown hair and extremely dark eyes. Following him was a redhead girl about the same age as her. Holding her hand was a boy with raven black hair like hers, and a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead. He also had piercing green eyes like hers as well.

After they were all seated, another couple entered. A woman with red hair entered. She also had piercing emerald eyes. She was being held by a man with raven hair and a scar across his eye. His eyes were a light brown. They all took a seat around the table, looking at her disbelievingly. The man and woman had tears in their eyes, she put two and two together, 'My parents.' She stopped playing.

The old man cleared his throat, "Emily Liz, I presume?" After Emily nodded he continued, "Ah, good. Emily. I have a few people here that I would like you to meet. First, I am Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland. This man to my right is Dimitri, and since you will be filled in on the whole story, you might as well know that he is a half demon." Dimitri smirked at Emily's un-phased expression.

Dimitri leaned over the table toward Emily, "Don't worry. I am house trained." Emily giggled.

Dumbledore chuckled, "The young woman to his right is Ginny Weasley, and with her is your brother. Harry Potter." Dumbledore paused for her to take in what she had just heard.

Emily seemed to accept the information as if she already knew it; she looked at Harry and smiled, "I thought that's who you might be. And to save time Headmaster, I am assuming that these two that you haven't introduced yet are my parents, James and Lily Potter." As Dumbledore nodded she continued, "Good. Does this mean I can come and live with you?"

Lily was slightly shocked at the immediate acceptance, "Yes sweetheart. It does."

Emily set her guitar down, stood up and walked over to her new found mother and hugged her. "It's ok. You don't have to explain. Just knowing that I am wanted by someone is enough to make me happy. Oh. And if you don't mind…ya'll can call me Liz."

Harry was trying to hold in his tears of his own. He couldn't help but think 'This girl must have felt unwanted for most of her life. She is so accepting.'

Liz smirked and looked at Harry, "And I am guessing that we, Harry, are twins?" Harry nodded so she continued, "Well that makes since then. I am guessing that you are the one that has been having all of the bad dreams about people dying and a snakelike man that laughs a lot?"

Harry visibly flinched, "Y-you saw my dreams?" Harry looked at Dumbledore who simply nodded.

Liz smiled sadly, "I am sorry that you have been having such bad dreams lately. Hopefully the love that Ginny here has for you will be more than enough to put the demons at bay."

Dimitri chuckled at her analogy, she blushed when she realized what she had said, "I am sorry, I didn't mean any-"Dimitri waved her off.

"Ah don't mention it. It's just fun to mess with people, only demons aren't so bad. But they can be a bit cranky in the mornings."

Liz giggled, she looked back at Harry who was blushing, "Love isn't something you should hide, and the future of our world is going to depend on the very love that you two are capable of."

Everyone's eyes snapped to Liz, she looked around curiously, "What did I say?"

Dumbledore decided to speak, "What did you mean that the love between Ginny and Harry is what will save our world?"

Liz looked at Dumbledore like he should be ashamed of what he just asked, "'the power he knows not?' What did you think it was a bomb?" Liz threw her hands up at the end of the sentence.

Dumbledore was shocked at what he had just heard, "How did you know about the prophecy?"

Liz smirked, "The dreams. He had quite a few pertaining to the prophecy you told him."

Everyone was openly smiling now, Dimitri chuckled, "I like this one already! Everyone is so serious but her, she is just awesome!"

Liz blushed at Dimitri's praise; she looked at Harry, "I must admit I am happy that I have a sibling. I think it will be good for the both of us." Harry smiled and nodded.

Lily smiled at Liz, "So you have a choice Liz, you can stay here or you can come home with us. We haven't shown Harry the house yet either so it will be a new experience for the both of you."

Liz smiled and picked her guitar up and played a very difficult sounding melody that was strangely soothing, as she played butterflies started flying out of the hollow of the guitar. Liz smirked at everyone's obvious shock, "I would love to live with you."

A/N: Boom! So Emily Liz Potter has been introduced! I hope everyone likes her because she is making this story a lot more fun for me to write! R&R Please!
