When the four of them arrived to where Harry and Hermione were they became lost for words. These two 15 – year – olds were staring relentlessly at each other…with love in their eyes?
Dumbledore made the first sound, "Er, Harry? Hermione? …… I'm back."
While Sirius, Minerva, and Arabella were cracking up in the background, a blushing Hermione and a stammering Harry tried to cover up what they were really doing, and what had somewhat exchanged between the two of them.
"P-P-Professor! Ummmm, Hermione has s-s-something stuck in, in, in, ummm, in her eye."
"Well then Harry, did you find it or do you need to continue looking?" Dumbledore asked this as innocently as he could manage at that time.
"Ummm, n-no sir, I, I, found it. Right H-Hermione!"
"Er, yes, I do believe that you, that you did, H-H-Harry. Why yes, silly me, you did! T-Thank you."
"Well, I am glad that… ordeal… is over with but onto the reason in which we all are here for." Proclaimed Dumbledore. "As you know, the Order of the Phoenix is well under way. All of us are included in its being, even you two."
Minerva interrupted, "So in other words, both of you are needed for the Order."
Hermione gave a small smile, "Oh, that's all? Well, I know I speak for both Harry and I when I say that it will be our pleasure to support such a noble cause such as the Order."
Sirius looked down at his shoes. "There is more to it than that. I wish this was easier." Sirius solemnly looked over to Dumbledore with a pained look haunting his eyes. "But it isn't."
Harry looked up warily at the four adults in the room. "What are all of you going on about? What is so damn hard about this 'joining of the Order?' What are you keeping from us?" Harry directed the last question to his headmaster, Dumbledore.
Dumbledore looked first at Harry, then at Arabella … Ms. Figg???
"Ms. Figg? My babysitter? No way!" Harry looked at Arabella with complete shock written all over his face.
"Hi Harry. Surprise?" she managed weakly.
Harry's mouth opened and closed a few times but no sounds were made. He was in shock but a little voice in his head was saying, you did suspect something, did you not? You just don't want to believe it. "Secret keeper?" Harry asked Arabella in a tight and very unlike Harry voice. Hermione could definitely tell that he was not happy, but then, neither was she.
"Yes. But we can talk about that more later. Right now you and Hermione need to find out the truth about yourselves. Try not to interrupt me. I would rather it if we received this information all in one grouping. It will be easier on you both in the long run that way." Arabella gave Harry and Hermione sympathetic yet stern looks. She really didn't want to see the hate she knew that she would see after this particular revelation.
"Harry, Hermione," she continued, "You aren't who you think you are. You have been raised in false pretenses by all of those who know who you two actually are. Your names, your parents, and your powers are not reall. They are merely glamours. Your real names are – Ryan Potter Dumbledore and Hedwig Granger Black." Arabella paused here looking at the two teenagers before her. Poor dears. Nevertheless though, I must continue on. "You can probably guess who your real, biological fathers are by your real last names. Harry, you are the son of Albus Dumbledore and myself. Hermione, you are the daughter of Sirius Black and Minerva McGonagall. You are both elemental mages with powers beyond even the great wizards of Merlin and Gandolf combined. You two have what is considered to be raw magic. Raw magic is a highly rare and unusual gift. It means that you do not need a wand or any other device to draw your magic from. It also means other things that you will learn about later on in your training." Arabella decided that this was enough for the time being.
"Holy shit!" was the only sound that came out of Harry's mouth before he fainted from shock.
Ditto was the thought of his best friend beside him before she too fainted.
Sirius chuckled a bit. "Well, that wasn't so bad now was it?"
All he received was an icy glare from his love, Minerva.
