Saturday came and Harry decided to head down to Hogsmede. He wanted to do some shopping as well as visit Sirus who might know something about Kristen.

He donned his invisibility cloak and took the secret exit which took him directly into the villiage. When he emerged onto the city streets he met up with a familiar black dog.

"Hey Sirus," Harry whipered. The dog wagged his tail.

Suddenly one of the shops behind Harry opened its door. He found Kristen Sims exiting with a few books. She wasn't wearing her wizard cloak, just a pair of jeans and a regular shirt. She didn't see Harry but did notice the black dog. Thinking it was lost or a stray to went over to it.

"Hey there boy," she said kindly. "Where did you come from?"

Suddenly Sirus looked up and started growling at her. A look of panic came over Kristen's face and she slowly backed off and headed back for Hogwarts. When she had gone, Harry looked over at Sirus.

"What was that all about?" Harry said. Sirus motioned for Harry to come back to the cave where he was hiding out. When they arrived Sirus returned to his true form.

"Harry," said Sirus. "Do you know who that woman is?"

"Yes," said Harry. "She's Kristen Sims. She's a Wizard Muggle who is the new Muggle Studies teacher here."

"That's all you know?" Sirus said.

"That and she had a close friend who was a witch who was killed by Voldemort. After that, she moved to New York where she lived until the events of September 11 last year."

"Harry, there's something else you don't know about her," Sirus said. "She's your Godmother."

Harry couldn't believe it, "So the friend she was talking about was..."

"Your mother, Lily."

Harry sat on a rock, totally stunned for a moment. "But I don't understand. Why didn't someone tell me about her?"

Sirus took a deep breath. "Harry, she was there the night your mother and father died. She was in the house. She saw what happened. She could clear my name."

"Then why did she run away to New York?" Harry asked.

"Because it's believed that she's responsible for your parents death. While it hasn't been proven, on that fateful night, many think that You-Know-Who followed her in her car when she went to visit you and your parents. Harry, she practically lead him there! Harry? When this ordeal came to trial, they ruled that she wasn't aware of You-Know-Who following her, but she did violate her Wizard Muggle Contract in that she inadvertently lead a dark wizard to your parents. Seeing as how it was an accident, her contract was suspended from the wizard community for ten years and was denied guardianship of you. So she ran off to America."

Harry couldn't speak. He was overcome with several emotions-anger, fear, frustration and sadness. Sirus spoke again.

"Harry," he said. "I have an idea. You have Quidditch practice after school on Monday right?" Harry nodded. "Kristen likes watching the team practice. After you're done, find some way to lead her over to the edge of the Forbidden forest away from Hagrid's House. I'll be there and I'll handle the rest."

Harry agreed. As he left the cave, he thought about what Sirus had said about Kristen, but he didn't want to believe that Kristen was responsible for killing his parents. She seemed too kind to want to do anything evil. Still if she was his godmother, he wanted to know and he wanted to know exactly what happened on that fateful night.
