Part 4
Disclaimer: All people you recognise from the books belong to JK Rowling. I own this plotline, Rosie Potter, Aurora Black and Brad and Lucas Lupin.
Author's Note: Okay, most of you guys wanted 'Rora to be Harry's girlfriend, so she is. Also, this is just a transitional chapter. Harry's B-day...heheheh...
"Happy Birthday Harry!" Lily said as Harry came down from breakfast a few days later, "Your friends will all be here soon."
"Who?" Harry asked.
"You really were sick." Rosie commented.
"Well, there's the guestlist over there." Lily pointed to a piece of parchement on the counter.
Let's see...of course Aurora's on here...Brad and Lucas? I still have to find out who they are...he went down the list, then a name made him stop, Draco Malfoy?!?!?!?! As in Draco MALFOY, my mortal enemy!?!?!?!?! What the hell is HE doing on MY birthday guestlist? Oh God...don't tell me he's my FRIEND!?!?!?! Harry thought dazedly. I hate this place.
"Uhh...can I have breakfast a little later?" Harry asked.
"Sure. It won't be ready for another fifteen minutes, anyway." Lily shrugged.
Harry turned and sprinted up the stairs to his room. He sat in front of the crystal ball on his desk and tapped it.
"Wizard Communications, who would you like to be in contact with?" a cheery voice asked.
"Albus Dumbledore, please." Harry said.
"One moment." the voice said.
"Hello?" Dumbledore's voice came on a bit later.
"Professor, what is Draco Malfoy in relation to me?" Harry asked anxiously.
"Why, he's your best friend. You two are inseperable." Dumbledore said.
"Well, in my world, he hates me with a passion." Harry said.
"Very peculiar." Dumbledore said.
"And who are Brad and Lucas Lupin?"
"Two of your friends. They're Remus' nephews."
"And Aurora?"
"Well...she's your girlfriend."
Harry sat in shock. "I have a girlfriend?"
"Yes. You two are inseperable." Dumbledore said, a cheery note in his voice.
"Oh God..."
"Harry, I have to go now, but call me any time you want. And Happy Birthday." Dumbledore said.
"Bye." Harry said as Dumbledore cut of their conversation.
The rest of the morning passed in some sort of daze. He ate, got dressed, helped get ready for his party and other stuff.
Then the doorbell rang around three in the afternoon.
"Harry, can you get that?" Lily asked.
"Yes, Mum!" Harry said, walking to the door. He opened it to see Aurora standing there.
"Happy Birthday!" she said and hugged him.
"Thanks." Harry said, hugging her back. Great. I have a girlfriend. And I only know her name. Oh this is great, this is just peachy.
Rosie came running into the hallway, "Hi, Rora! I'll see you at Hogwarts this year!"
I guess I made a big error on her age. She's not eight, she's eleven...but she's awfully tiny. Harry thought.
"Brad and Lucas said they'd be here soon. They're getting Draco and Samantha first." Aurora said, putting a package on the nearby table.
"Samantha?" Harry asked, Who's she?
"Draco's sister, you dumbell." Aurora laughed.
"Right." Harry nodded, Help me! Somebody let me go home! Please!
The doorbell rang again, interupting his inward pleas for help. He opened the door to reveal Draco, a girl with white-blonde hair who Harry assumed to be Samantha, two identical boys that Harry presumed to be Brad and Lucas, recognising them from the pictures in his room.
"Happy Birthday!" Draco exclaimed enthusiastically, a giant grin on his face.
Draco? Grinning? Scary...Harry thought as he led them in.
"Here's your present." one of the identical twins handed Harry a gift-wrapped box.
"Exactly what kind of hex did you put on the box this year, Brad?" Aurora narrowed her eyes at the boy who had handed Harry the box.
"Brad didn't put any on it." the other one said, running a hand through his sandy-blonde hair.
"Lucas!" Aurora wheeled on the other twin, "What did you put on it?"
"Nothing." Lucas said innocently.
"I don't buy that for a second." Harry said.
"Are you gonna make us stand here, or are you gonna let us actually make it past the front hall?" the girl with the white-blonde hair and icy blue yes asked. Must be Samantha, Harry thought.
"Come on in." Harry shrugged.
"Hi, Brad, Lucas, Draco and Sammie." Rosie chirped.
"Samantha, not Sammie." Samantha corrected the little red-haired girl with a smile on her face.
All of a sudden, there was a loud pop and four figures appeared in front of them.
"Hi Daddy!" Rosie said happily.
"What're you doing here, Dad?" Aurora asked Sirius.
"Yeah, I thought you had to work today, Uncle Remus." Brad said to his uncle.
"Yeah!" Lucas chimed in.
"What, we cant come to wish Harry a happy birthday?" Sirius asked, a wounded look on his face.
"Oh, come off it, Sirius." Lily walked in.
"Lily, I need to talk to you." James said, a look of urgency on his face.
Oh no...Harry's stomach felt like it had dropped down to his knees.
"About what?" Lily asked, confused.
"Can we talk in the kitchen?" James asked.
"Sure." Lily allowed herself to be led into the kitchen.
Voldemort...the name came unwittingly to the front of Harry's mind, It has to be...he raised a hand to his forehead, to the spot where his scar was in his own world. However, in this world there was no scar, as Voldemort hadn't attacked them...yet...he thought.
"Earth to Harry! Come in, Harry!" Aurora waved a hand in front of his face.
"What?" Harry was jolted back to his senses.
"Off somewhere in outer space?" Draco laughed, "Or just lost in some complex Quidditch trick?"
"Something like that." Harry said, casting a worried look at the kitchen.
"Well, I should really be going. I'm supposed to have something done for today and I didn't finish." Pettigrew spoke up, rubbing the inside of his left forearm. Harry watched him closely and saw him wincing a bit. "Happy Birthday, Harry." he said, taking out his wand and Disapparating.
He's gone to give information to Voldemort...Harry thought, I wish I could do something about it...but no one'll believe me...
Lily and James came out of the kitchen then, identical expressions of worry on their faces.
"What is it, Mummy?" Rosie asked, looking at her mother's face.
"Nothing, Rosie, it's just...nothing..." Lily foced a smile.
No, it's not nothing...it's Voldemort...Harry thought.
"Well, we have to get back to work." Lupin looked at his watch.
"Yeah." Sirius said vaguely.
"See you later." James hugged Lily before he, Sirius and Lupin Disapparated back to the Ministry.
