Chapter Four-The Discovery

Arella then ran into the black haired boy again. He had a red haired boy with him this time. She walked up to him and waved. "Fancy meeting you here." Harry said. "I was just about to say the same thing." Arella said. "Hey, I want you to meet my best friend. Ron, this is Arella....Hey I never did get your last name." He said. "Oh It's Potter." She said with a grin. Ron and Harry looked like each other at the same time with an odd expression. "You've got to be kidding....right?" Asked Ron with the same expression. Arella shook her head. "No, I'm serious." Then a voice came from behind her. "You're not Sirius, I am." Ron snickered at that remark. Arella turned around to see who spoke. She noted that he was taller than she was and slowly looked up. "By the gods!" He said breathless. "You are a splittin' image of your mother indeed." Sirius said. "Forgive me for not introducing myself. I'm Sirius Black. You must be their daughter." Arella just stood there, dumbfound, not realising what he was talking about. "I'm Arella Potter. Is there a problem with who I am?" Harry shook his head, and Ron nudged him. "Well, then, you obviously don't know your parent's names do you?" he asked. Arella quickly shook her head. "They were James, and Lilly Potter. And this," Sirius motions to Harry. "Is your brother." He said. Arella turned to look at Harry. She gasped, then suddenly everything went white, and she hit the floor with a thud.

Lyndell ran over to Sirius and Harry. "What happened?" She asked. "She met her brother." Sirius said as he leaned over to check out Arella's pulse. "She's alive." He said. Lyndell glared at Sirius. "Not funny." She said. "Come on, lets get her to the local healer." Ron suggested. And with that, Sirius picked up Arella, and all four of them walked over to the little hospital like building. Immediately the nurse started to work on reviving Arella.

Arella finally woke up after being unconscience for ten minutes. "Are you alright?" a voice asked. Arella blinked a couple of times to clear her vision, only to find Lyndell, and Harry standing over her. "Hi.." Harry said quietly. "Can you understand me?" Arella nodded. "I'm alright now. What happened?" She asked as she sat up. "You fainted." Said Sirius. Suddenly it all came to her. Arella looked right at Harry. "So...your my brother? The one Lyndell told me about?" She asked him. Harry looked up to Sirius. "Was there something you forgot to tell me?" He asked. Sirius sighed. "Sorry Harry, I guess it just slipped my mind. I'm so sorry for not mentioning her. Frankly, I didn't know about her, until Lyndel sent me an owl a few months ago." He said. Harry nodded then looked to Arella. "Yeah, I guess I am your brother." He said with a smile. "Can you stand?" He asked. Arella got up and walked around for a few moments. "Yeah I can." She replied. "Come on Harry, we can talk later, we got some arrands to run." He said. "But..." Harry started. "You can send her an owl as soon as we get home, I promise." He said. "School starts in a week, so you'll be able to catch up at school." He said. They then left Lyndell and Arella behind. "I got everything, lets get home, and get you packed for school. It's a year round school, so you'll need to pack a whole lot of things." She said. "Alright mum." Arella replied. "Oh by the way, Arella, here's your birthday present." She said, handing her a bird cage. Inside was a black owl with yellow colored eyes. "Oh wow. Thanks." She said with a smile. "Does he have a name?" She asked. "No, not yet. I figured you'd want to name him." She said. "Well, I think.. I'll name him Stardust." She said with a statusfied grin. Later that day, they made it home.
