Chapter Seven

After finding nothing of importance Kingsley departed the ministry and made his way to Grimmauld Place. He had decided to speak with Minerva after the meeting, he needed to find the real reason why this was never entered into the ministry records. It couldn't just be because she is a seer, it had to be something more.

One by one members of the Order and the DA trickled into Grimmauld Place. As everyone arrived they made their way to the kitchen to greet Harry and Ginny. As the library was the biggest room in the house since the renovations the meeting was to be held in there. Once everyone had arrived, Harry walked into the library to see them all sitting comfortably on the chintz arm chairs dotted around the room. George Weasley sitting on the floor in front of his wife Angelina who had grown into an amazing woman, Ron on the chair next to him with Hermione perched on his knee.

Looking around the room before he spoke, Harry felt a rush of love and admiration run through him, these people were all his family. Only a few of them knew about Novella and now it was his duty to fill them all in on everything they knew so far.

Taking a deep breath he started. His voice was strong and it rang out around the room as every one quietened down to listen to him. Even the portraits listened intently Sirius, Albus and Severus watched and listed to what Harry was saying. They each would have their say at some point during the meeting, and they would tell their part in the story. But for now it was Harry's floor.

'Thank you all for joining me here today, it has been a while since we held a meeting. But times have changed, things have changed and now I need you all, my sister needs us all.'

Exclamations spread throughout the room. 'SISTER!' One of the Weasley members shouted out.

'Oh no, another Potter to deal with' George said jokingly.

'Yes' Harry said after everyone had quietened once again. 'I have a sister. I received an owl on October 31st telling me to go to Godrics Hollow. The owl was from an anonymous sender, so I threw caution to the wind and went. As I walked down the lane by my parents wrecked home I heard them telling me to look for a diary. So I looked threw what was left of the weather worn wreckage of what was my home and found this leather bound book.' Harry held aloft the leather bound diary to show everyone the book he had found.

'Now to some it is just a book of scribblings but to me, this book gave me a whole load of insight into my parents lives before me.'

Harry opened the book 'This is from a few months before my mum had me.' He said before starting to read.

'May 1980

I can feel the baby moving around so much right now. We have decided on the name Harry. When we decided what to call him I could hear Petunia in my head saying how common the name was. But our little boy will be here soon, only around 2 months left to go now hopefully there wont be any problems, and all will go well when his time comes to be born. I'm finding Novella difficult right now, being so heavily pregnant with the little man but James Albus Minerva and Sirius of course are all on hand for any help that I need. James has been working hard on the bedroom changing it from a girls room to a girl and boy room. We chose a pale pink for one side and pale blue for the other side. On the main wall muggles would call it a feature wall he has spelled paint brushes to paint a beautiful sunset mural the pink and blue set it off brilliantly. But going back to Novella, it seems like her powers are coming in far too early. She can hover things a few feet above the ground, she is so young too young to have powers like this. Albus said we may have to enroll her into Hogwarts before she is of age, I don't really like that idea but if we must then we must.

She is scaring me a little though, every now and then when her seer powers come into play, she closes off and her eyes go blank, even though she cant talk properly yet, she starts to talk with this weird voice. Hissing out words that make no sense. She is a beautiful loving child, but so strange. What magical child at this age can do magic, I ask you. Albus has done a lot of research into both the Potter and the Evans line but apart from one family member in James' family tree there are no other people who are as magically talented as our daughter. We were hoping that something would pop up but only one family member a great great aunt on his fathers side was a celebrated seer. Her name was Ariella Potter. On my side, we are all a bunch of muggles. My great great great great grandmother Arianna was in fact a witch and she married my great great great great grandfather and so the line continued, but I have been the only witch since. It is unknown why her powers have come in so early. Albus seems to think she will be a very powerful woman but I'm not sure. He has been doing a lot of work in the hospital wing at Hogwarts, my thoughts are that he is researching to create a potion that will suppress her powers until she is older. He does have his fears about her.
Harry is kicking again, I cant wait till he arrives. I do hope he looks like James, well Novella is so like me with her auburn hair and bright green eyes. I hope our little man inside me takes after his dad. I must sign off now, little miss Novella has woken up from her nap, and demands attention. I am growing to love my family even more that I ever imagined, every day it grows so much more.

Lily.'

'From reading what is written in this diary.' Harry spoke, when he had finished reading the entry written by his mother. 'I have come to realise that love knows no bounds. Our parents loved both of us, but now, my sister needs our help.' He sighed deeply before carrying on. 'On the night of October 31st 1981 when our parents died. Before Hagrid had taken me away, and when Severus Snape was cradling my mothers body in his arms, crying for her life my fathers life, and the lives of myself and my sister, Novella Potter was kidnapped by Lucius Malfoy. She has been kept prisoner these last twenty-five years. She has been tortured into telling Voldemort what visions she has had, abused in ways we don't even know of. But above all that we don't even know where she is. Severus can confirm that she spent the years leading up to Voldemort's second demise in the dungeons of Malfoy Manor. But now we don't know, she was moved. Before Severus died, before the battle of Hogwarts commenced he spoke to Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy er the three of them decided that Novella was to be moved, because there was a risk of us finding her throughout the coming battle. Before any of you ask I don't know why my sister is still under the so called protection of the Malfoy family, but I do know that we will find her. I have sent a letter with Ophelia to her hopefully she can find her, and maybe she will be able to write back if she understands my letter. I don't know, but what I do know is I need all of you to help us. It may come to a battle it may not, I don't want any of you to do this if you don't want to do this, but she is my family, and all of you are my family as well. It is totally your choice.' He finished his speech to the whole group and looked around the room hesitantly but with a confident grace.

The faces of his family looked shocked at the revelation they had just heard. Who had known that James and Lily had another child. Sirius made a little coughing sound in his portrait, and smiled down at Harry from where he was placed on the wall.

'If I may Harry.' He said graciously.

'Of course Sirius, I know you have your own thing to put in on this. I have heard Albus and Severus but I have not had a chance to speak to you about the whole situation. You were around when my parents found out about Novella, and you were there throughout the first year of Novella's life, and mine. Please, say what you need.'

'Thank you Harry.' Sirius started. 'first of all, this was so secret to everyone, if you look at the front of the diary, Lily wrote that it had been given to her and James by Mr and Mrs Potter. That was not true, Albus wanted them to document everything, but because Novella was to be kept secret from the world, even though it was spelled to show to people of Potter blood she didn't want to risk anything. On the day that Lily found out she was pregnant with Novella, everybody was shocked to say the least. James and Lily had only been married for a few weeks, they were still young, still trying to get used to married life and living together. To throw a baby into the works was a bit of a mishap. But watching them in the nine months until her birth, I found that they thrived on the chance to be parents. Yes they were scared, as every young couple is being first time parents, but they thrived. Lily went through her pregnancy with grace, she went through it with wonder, of what her baby would be like, who would she favor more. Then the visions started, Novella was sending visions to her mother even from the womb.'

I watched in wonder as Lily came out of yet another vision. This child she was carrying was magical even in the womb. It was beyond fascinating. Looking over at James who had his arms wrapped around Lily. 'It's OK sweetheart' he was whispering over and over in her ear. I could see just watching that term of endearment towards Lily, how much James loved her.

'The visions that Lily described to us were amazingly accurate even I knew that, she talked about rooms and dungeons and battles at Hogwarts. Things that hadn't happened yet but will happen in the future. She kept seeing one vision of a messy haired bespectacled man, and a red haired woman in a pink room. This one vision was played over and over in her minds eye. Albus has his suspicions about Novella being a seer, and went over and over the family history many times. The gift was usually carried into the next generations but it seemed like we had hit a brick wall on the subject.

That was until Albus found something in the records office at Hogwarts. About 6 weeks after Novella was born, Albus found a file hidden away at the back of a large cabinet at Hogwarts it had been reduced in size considerably so it was a known fact that only one who was searching for something would have been able to find it. After restoring the file to its proper size, he came rushing to the cottage. We were all there sitting talking while Novella was having a nap in the basket in the sun room. Albus came bursting through the flames in the floo, and scared us half to death, he was smiling brightly and waving this file around. He had found the answer. Novella was the product of a history going back hundreds of years, throughout that history there had been a handful of seers, that were unimaginably powerful in their craft. They had rid of the magical world of an evil that was not spoken of in the history books. Blood sisters, all five of them, and they came from the Potter line. Their mother had been called Agnes Potter. She was a Potter by birth, and had married a wizard by the name of Barnaby Deveraux, but she had remained a Potter throughout her married life. Her children, were five daughters who took their fathers name of Deveraux. Eden, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Esther and Eunice Deveraux came into their powers at birth, showing signs throughout each pregnancy their mother knew she was carrying powerful children.

During the reign of the muggle King Henry Tudor in 1509 these five sisters where all students at Hogwarts, it was there that it was discovered the sisters where very powerful indeed. Their professors reveled in teaching them each how to hone their power and control it in the way they needed. Each girl knew that they would need to be at full power as an evil was growing in the South of England. Not much was known about this power, but I helped Albus do some digging around before Harry was born. We found that when together Novella and Harry may become the Ultimate Power, they should be able to do so much more than they can separately. But this wouldn't happen until they had both reached the age of adulthood or seventeen years old, when they reached the full potential of their powers.

We wouldn't discover the rate of their powers though because of what happened, but now that Harry knows about Novella we can discover the things that were set out in their destiny before they were born.' Sirius finished.

The room was deathly silent as everyone took in what they had just heard. Harry coughed, and some jumped as others turned to look at him. 'I am by no means powerful Sirius. I don't understand what you mean but I will. I feel that there is something you are not telling me. I will find out what it is eventually, just like I did with Albus.' He said.

Minerva looked intently at the man she had come to see as a son over the years. She had never been blessed with her own children but throughout her teaching years all of her Gryffindor subjects she saw as her children as she molded them into the people they would become in their adult years. Out of all her students the ones to stand first and foremost in her mind was that of the trio Harry Ron and Hermione, along with their friends.

She felt she had to break the conversational vow she took with Albus and Severus' portraits last night. Harry needed to know what left Lily's mouth the day she gave birth in Hogwarts hospital wing.
