Thankfully for Al the bell rang as soon as Zabini was starting to speak and all he had to do was fill up his potion in the test tube, hand it Zabini and run out. As soon as he reached the ground floor (first floor) he stopped rested against the wall and thought; life at Hogwarts was strange, magical, but strange. He couldn't help remembering Prof. Abercrombie's face go white when he called out Zach's name, were they related and how? And then the way James had shouted at Charlie, the day before in the common room. What was that all about? Rose soon appeared around the bend, "Al! There you are I thought you were in the common room"

"Rose, have you thought about that letter...yet?"

Rose looked down at the ground, of course she had, but there were more important things to worry about. Grades and points for instance, and the house cup and maybe not the Quidditch cup. Rose was about to reply when Hagrid appeared with Zach and Ariana. He waved at them and smiled.

"Hey Rose, Al! Coming down tonight right, I don't want nuttin going wrong"

"We'll be there Hagrid" Rose smiled as she hugged Hagrid.


Harry looked over his papers as he walked into his office that Friday night. His best friend and coworker Ron Weasley had fallen asleep on his desk over the Daily Prophet. Harry gently pulled the newspaper away from him and set it on his own desk; he dropped his papers and sat down on his seat.

"OI!" Ron woke up with a snap and grabbed the newspaper from Harry's desk much to his amusement.

"Ron, you okay mate?"

"Yea, I was...how did the trial go?" Ron had been referencing to the trial of Yaxely, a death eater who had been arrested right after Harry defeated Voldermort. Yaxely had spent nineteen years in Azkaban before he was given a trial, like all the others, Yaxely was convicted to death.

"Yea, Guilty, they're going to give him a Dementors kiss" Harry shuddered as he mentioned the name, he had never liked dementors. He didn't like them when he was thirteen and he didn't like them now. Ron shook his head while pulling out a piece of parchment and quill.

"Harry, you told me that you wanted to ask Hermione and me something."

"Oh, yea...I'll tell you tonight as soon as we reach home; I want to go home, coming?" Harry got up readily from his seat, picked up his briefcase, wand and coat and walked over to the fireplace.

Ron followed him, holding a pot of floo powder.

"Potter Residence"

Harry hated the feeling of traveling with floo powder, but it was either this or use the phone booth, which was hard with many witches and wizards looking at him as he left the building.


The Potter residence was a small cottage in Godric Hollow. It was far from the cemetery and Harry's Parent's house, but close enough, so he felt home. The house was made of redbrick and had ivy growing on its front half. Their front yard, was full of shrubbery and flowers, tall fern arched over the path way while butter flies and other magical creatures such as gnomes and nifflers hidden by the long untamable grass. Their backyard was a huge lawn, suitable for playing Quidditch and a small set of swings in the corner.

"DADDY!" Lily ran into Harry's arm as soon as he walked out of the fire place.

"Hey! Lilikins! Dinner ready, I'm starved!"

Harry picked up his daughter and was soon followed by Ron to the dining room. "Harry JAMES POTTER!" Ginny was standing behind the stove, where the soup was boiling, her hand akimbo and her face scarlet red.

"Yes dear?" Harry tried to grin as he avoided Ginny's bat bogey hex,

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" She threw his letter to the children back at him.

"Um, it's a letter to Al and James"

"Harry darling, what do we have to tell them, what big secret?"

"I just wanted to tell the kids about what happened...my real childhood"

Ron looked at Harry with shock

"But, But we decided, not to...why?"

"Yes why harry?" Asked Hermione.

"I have my reasons guys, but right now I'm hungry, lets eat please." With that Harry Potter left the kitchen with his wife and two friends looking at him with suprise.


(AT HOGWARTS --- The same night)

"So uh... Abercrombie, eh? Well prof. Abercrombie's first name is Euan"

"That's a strange name" remarked Zach, for the last half an hour the four children had been sitting in Hagrid's hut talking about Quidditch, School and of course care of magical creatures. Finally Zach had blurted out his predicament and Hagrid's face had turned sour.

"He joined Hogwarts, when your dad, Harry was a fifth year... uh, horrible, year... the ministry was against your dad because he kept on saying, Lord Voldermort had returned. Blimey poor boy and Euan believed---"

---"Who is lord Voldermort? What are you talking about?" The four children responded in unison and Hagrid clamped his hand over his mouth.

"Um... uh nuffin, I didn't say nuffin! Any how, Euan started to believe some rumors about your dad, and even though those rumors were cleared after the war, Euan still hasn't apologized to Harry."

"So, he couldn't be related to me could he?"

"Well, I've talked to him a little...never mentioned a family. Ask if you must and Al and Rose discard what I just said"

"But why? Who is lord Voldermort!" demanded Al, he had heard the name before and just like before the adult in question had told him not to worry about it.

Hagrid sighed and told the four to leave, it was starting to get dark and they needed to be in bed.


Back in the common room, James was sitting in front of the fireplace with the maurders map. He watched as four dots called Zach, Ariana, Albus and Rose walked from Hagrid's hut all the way to the Gryffindor tower. Just as Rose spoke the password, James whispered "Mischief managed" and hid the map in his cloak.

"James, is Victoire still up?" Rose asked as soon as she stepped into the common room.

"Yes, I'm right here, I wanted to talk about..."

"Hagrid told us something about someone related to Dad!" Al butt in, before Rose could respond.

"See James, even Hagrid knows the truth; your dad is a legend"

Everyone turned around and looked up at Charlie, but before any one spoke, James got up hastily and left.

A/N – I know i said chap 6 is in progress. But I just had to post this.

Take this as the end of Chap 5.

The real chapter 6 will most probably come after Aug 14th...because I'm going on vacation!
