Saturday 7th of September 1993
Ethan, Dylan, Rav, Astra, Nay, Dav, Araya, Harry, Terri, Matt, Luke, Jayden, Pace, Xav, Volya were all sitting down at Gryffindor table eating their breakfast and waiting for their family. They had bought their familiars with them. They said they wanted their Uncle's to meet them. They told their friends what they were doing today and they said it was fine to go that they would catch up with them later. After all they can't spend all day with their Uncle's they had homework. That's when Lily, James and the rest of their children come in smiling and looking around excitedly at finally seeing Hogwarts. The older children stand up to go to them. Bryan runs and Ravenna scoops him up.
"We missed you all", Ravenna says kissing Bryan's cheek
"We missed you", Cheryl says hugging all of her older sibling
Once all the kids had hugged their siblings James steps forward.
"Alright Harry?" James asks his son
"I'm alright. Thanks for asking. How are you?" Harry asks accepting the hug from his father.
"I am good. But I have missed all of you", James replies
"We have something to tell you before we meet your Uncle's", Lily says
"What is it Mum?" Ethan asks Alyssa in his arms
"We have just found out yesterday that you have blood related Uncle's and Aunt's and cousins", Lily replies
The older kids gasp. They had more relatives?
"Do we get to meet them?" Terri asks
"Yes they are waiting outside the Great Hall for us. We will introduce you all together with your Uncle Moony and Uncle Paddy", James replies
"Well then let's get going", Dylan says with Kalyana in his arms
Nayeli has Fitz in her arms. He was holding on tight.
They follow their Mum and Dad out of the Great Hall there they find a woman with Black long hair and Hazel eyes like their father. The man by her side had blonde hair and blue eyes. Next was a woman with red hair and green eyes like their mother and the man by her side had brown hair and brown eyes. The next woman had brown eyes and red hair she was standing with 4 children. The last couple was a man who had red hair and brown eyes looking like their mother but without the green eyes the woman had brown hair and blue eyes.
"Let's get going. We will introduce everyone when we get to Remus and Sirius's quarters", Lily says leading the way

They had permission from the Headmaster so they went with their family all the others wishing Harry luck. And that they will see them soon. Tomorrow was going to be a long day for Harry…
