A/N Steph, on your thought for longer chapters- there's only so much that one 11 year old boy can write!!! Here's Chapter Three- don't worry- Sirius gets to court soon enough and I'll promise you this- there's going to be a load of twists in the plot!
CHAPTER THREE
The Unknown Cousin
Harry opened the package as though he was a racoon clawing through rubbish with it's paws. There was yet another note and Harry read-
Dear Harry,
My name is George Merryweather. I am about to tell you something unknown to you. I am your long lost cousin!
Harry dropped the letter. His cousin? How? His curiosity urged him to read on. He picked up the note.
If you can read this I presume you have picked up the note. I am a Seer. Anyway, your dream was about me as well. I strapped an Owl Treat to a broomstick and Hedwig followed it and so I sent this to you. I hope you like this present. And I will be at my father's trial too. So why don't we meet in the Leaky Cauldron on the 19th?
See you soon,
Yours truly,
George.
A secret cousin! So many questions were buzzing in Harry's head! But then something caught his eye. "My father's trial"! If Sirius was George's father and George was Harry's cousin. Then that meant Harry's father's brother was Sirius and Harry's uncle was... Sirius!
*
Harry couldn't sleep that night at all for thinking that Malfoy was dead, Sirius was his uncle and he had a previously secret cousin. Not the kind of thing you would sleep through at all. The next morning he remembered. George sent him a present too! He opened the small hamper that the note was tied to. It had four Chocolate Frogs in and another note which read-
Do not think this will empty because every time it's empty, the next day it's full again.
*
On the 19th, Harry set off for the Leaky Cauldron, very eager to meet his cousin as he had so many questions. Harry took the Underground, preferring not to travel via Floo powder. When he got there, the usual hush fell as he entered.
"Which room, Tom?" he asked as he strolled past the bar.
"No. 3, Mr. Potter" the barman replied.
Harry took his things to his room, dumped them there and then returned to the bar to sit and wait for his cousin.
One hour later, there was no sign. Suddenly there was a large crack of thunder outside. The door opened. Everybody froze.
A/N "Who is it?" I hear you whine. Don't worry, all will be revealed ... if you send four reviews and then I'll send Chapter Four, which is called "The Meeting". Bye!
