"You're my cousin???" Harry asked.
"Yes" Arthur simply replied.
"So does that mean Dumbledore is my grandfather?" Harry asked.
"No, he is my mother's father, where we are cousins through our my father's family." Arthur said.
"On a more personal note, do you know why Snape hates me so much? I mean Professor Dumbledore must know why, and he surely told you." Harry said.
"Well... yes, I do. It goes back a long time, back when your parents were in school. At the start of the fifth year, Snape began a crush on the red-headed, green-eyed girl that was your mother. Due to 'rough treatment' by the Maurauders..."
"Wait a minute how do you know that there was a group of Gryffindors that called themselves the Maurauders?" Harry asked in curiousity.
"Grandfather... As I was saying, your mother started to 'return' the feelings Snape had for her. Near the end of the fifth year, your mother lured Snape out to the lake where.... where Sirius, James, and Peter were waiting for him and as James and Sirius held him down, Peter took a paintbrush and painted GO GRYFFINDOR on his robe. They also dyed his hair scarlet, and then with Peter and Sirius catcalling James kissed Lily right if front of Snape. The look on Snape was pure hatred at James, and started to pull out his wand. Sirius noticed this and grabbed his own quicker, he then casted the full-body bind on him. They left him there until the next morning when Hagrid discovered him on his rounds feeding the Grindylows in the lake. He then swore to himself to not let any Gryffindor escape his wrath."
"How do you know all this??" Harry asked.
"Well, in my younger years, I was allowed to stay at Hogwarts for the summer. During my time there I discovered many secret passages there. I stumbled onto one by accident and found out that it led to Snape's office. I was about to leave until I could return with the proper tricks to play on him but, I noticed a jar in the corner. It was a Pensieve, poking my wand in it made all the memories, one that I recognized as my Uncle James from the pictures I saw of him, made me jump in. I was present in this memory until it ended where I exited, Snape has always been suspicious of me since, he must have had a ward on the Pensieve. All I know is that he hates me throughly, even though he had no proof of me entering his office. Any other questions you need answering?"
"Yes, I..." Harry stopped as a knock on the door prevented any more talking.
(A/N: The silencius charm prevents any body hearing them speak but, allows them to hear anyone else speak)
"Harry, Arthur, lunch. Are you there???" Hermione called from behind the door.
"Finite Incantatum" Arthur quickly said, "Yes, Hermione, we will be out in a sec," and when he was sure Hermione had left, he added in a lower voice. "Harry remember, don't tell anyone about this conservation, if they ask tell them that we were talking about.... Quidditch and our favourite teams okay?"
"Sure Arthur, but why can't I tell Hermione and Ron?"
"Well, you could but if you do, Voldemort is planning to capture one of them to get at you, if they know these facts then they would be in great danger, even more than you Harry." Arthur's tone harden, "So you must not tell them a thing, okay"
"Sure, Arthur." Harry said
"Let's get something to eat." Arthur's grin returned to his face.
THE NEXT DAY
(At Flourish and Blotts)
Hermione took the books she needed for Arithmancy, Defense of the Dark Arts, Potions, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, and Herbology. Harry noticed with great amusement, that Arthur picked up the same books as Hermione. However, Harry and Ron picked up books for Divination, Defense of the Dark Arts, Potions, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, and Herbology. As they paid for their books, Arthur insisted on treating them all to a ice cream from Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour, but before they could enter they heard a yell from behind them. It was Mr. Weasley and family, Mr. Weasley immediately pulled Ron and Ginny away and pulled them towards the Leaky Cauldron. Hermione shouted to them to meet them in the Apothecary for their Potion supplies.
"Well, well, well look what the mudblood dragged in, and who are you one of her friends...." came a lazy drawl from behind them.
Turning around they saw Draco Malfoy standing there, Arthur turned around with a grin. "Why, hello Draco" he said in a innocent voice, "Haven't seen you in ages. How are you doing?"
Draco turned even whiter than Harry thought was humanly possible, "You can't be here, not you" with that Draco turned and ran away from them, screaming like mad.
Harry was puzzled, "What was that about?" he asked Arthur.
"Well, Draco was visiting Hogwarts with his father about 5 years ago and left him there for a week to see how well he could fare against the ghosts of Hogwarts and see how weak his son was. Although Dumbledore disapproved of this, he allowed by 'special permission' by Fudge. However, I was there visiting with my parents and Dumbledore thought that I could stay to keep Draco company. So he asked my parents to let me stay." Arthur paused to eat some of his ice cream. "In the first ten minutes Malfoy insulted my parents beyond forgiveness, so I started to make life worse for him in return. I put all of my tricks together and let Malfoy wander into every trick I laid. Malfoy started to cry until he was found by Filch who heard the noise and went to investigate. Malfoy's dad was barely home when he recieved a letter from Dumbledore requesting to pick up his son, that is why Malfoy fears me so much."
Arthur turned to Harry and frowned as Harry was on the ground laughing uncontrolably and Hermione was fighting to laugh too. After getting all their supplies, Ron and Ginny met them in the Apothecary 30 minutes late. After appoligizing many times, Harry shut up Ron by inviting Arthur and Ron to Quality Quidditch Supplies, and Hermione and Ginny left to talk about their subjects as Ginny on the advice of Hermione, signed up for the same things as Hermione. Although a year younger she was tutored by Hermione and was the brightest 3rd year last year. Two hours later the group met up to leave for Hermione's house.
JULY 31st
Harry came down for breakfast still tired, he fumbled for the light switch but as soon as he switch on the lights, many voices cried out "SURPRISE!" Harry fell down in shock as he saw many Gryffindors there from his own year. Seamus and Dean were having a agruement about Soccer and Quidditch in the corner. Neville was about to sample some food from the Weasley twins before Ron smacked Neville's hand away, warning him not to trust them. The twins cursed at Ron, Mrs. Granger gave a disapproving stare at the twins, pretending not to notice, the twins left for more prey. Parvati and Lavender were talking about makeup when Harry came round. Parvati immediately stopped talking to wish Harry a happy birthday and Lavender was about to follow suit when something caught her sight. Turning around to see look at what Lavender was looking at he only saw Ron raiding the cookies Hermione's parents left on the table, turning back to Lavender. He shrugged and was about to leave when Parvati hit Lavender's arm and she automatically said "Happy Birthday" before turning to Parvati who questioned her stare at Ron. Turning to look at Ron he was staring at Lavender and as Lavender looked up, Ron turned away blushing furiously and so was Lavender. Harry made a mental note to hook the two up, but Arthur came over, "Harry, someone wants to meet you in the backyard. Don't worry I'll cover for you."
Puzzled, Harry left by the back door into the yard. He saw a big, black, shaggy dog. Recognizing it, Harry ran over to pet it. As Harry checked behind him to see if anyone was coming, Sirius transformed into his human form, "Harry, unfortunately I cannot stay long. Fudge refuses to believe that Pettigrew is still alive despite Dumbledore's assurances that the letter was authentic. So I am still on the run, Buckbeak is now at Hogwarts again, we gave him a new coat and a new name, Hagrid knows this but, does not know of my existance so keep him in the dark, okay?"
"Harry? Are you out here?" came an unknown voice. By the time it took Harry to turn towards the voice and then back to Sirius, Sirius had left him but also left him a present. Harry picked it up just as Dean came round the corner, he said, "Harry can you help me out here, Seamus thinks Quidditch is better than Soccer, correct him please?"
"Sorry Dean, personally I think Quidditch is better than Soccer, sorry." Harry left Dean open-mouthed in amazement. Harry joined the party just as the dance started. Arthur had already made his way to Hermione and started to dance, Ron shyly asked Lavender to dance and she accepted, Harry looked for a partner, and saw only one girl that wasn't dancing, Ginny. He went up to her and asked her to dance, she blushed like mad. As they switch partners, Harry's next partner was Hermione, as they danced to the music of popular artists. (I don't want to specify any artists okay) They started to talk, Harry asked why she threatened him to come. Hermione looked confused, then she remember what she did and started to laugh, she said that she couldn't stand Arthur at the beginning of the holidays because he was correcting her wand movements. So she sent the letters to Ron, Ginny, and Harry, She couldn't get any work done, and by special permission for Dumbledore, she was praticing her magic in her house. As soon as she started to use the new movements taught by Arthur, her spells were better, so she asked Arthur to tutor her. And according to Hermione he was eager to tutor her, so he started to become bearable.
The party lasted throughout the night and as the parents and grandparents came to pick their son/daughter the Granger's offered to take all of the kids to King's Cross, and in the case of Neville's grandmother she even cried that Neville found such good friends. The parents would drop the trunks of their children to King's Cross and they would meet at Platform 9 and three-quarters.
