A/N: Hello! Do you like it so far? If so, read! Oh, Harry is in his fifth year (so is Claudette), Miranda and Colette are in their fourth year. It starts at the end of the Sorting, and Dumbledore explains to them about their new DADA teacher. On with the show.
I thought I had explained what the Flowers were. If you see the Disclaimer and look at the Flowers' names I think you can see why they were called the Flowers. They were all buddies with the Marauders, and hence they became the Marauders Flowers. They were basically a female version of the Marauders.
Disclaimer: I own Daisy, the Flowers (actually I think Daisy is the only one left who is still alive. Originally there was: Lily, Iris - see prologue - Rose and Daisy.) Miranda, Claudette and Colette. Erm, I think that is about it. Just a little reminder: Daisy and Sirius were engaged, had Claudette, then expected Colette, then Sirius is taken to Azkaban, then Daisy finds Miranda, adopts her (Miranda is Lily and James' child). Everything that belongs to JKR.believe it or not, belong to (drum roll please) JKR!
As I said earlier. on with the show.
Chapter Two: Another Potter at Hogwarts.
Harry, Hermione and Ron were watching the Sorting with feigned interest, waiting for the feast. Finally it ended, and Harry and Ron picked up their knives and forks expectantly, ready to tuck in.
But Dumbledore stood up to make an announcement, probably very important, and possibly very long. Harry and Ron groaned, but their stomachs rumbled more audibly. Hermione frowned at them, and listened intently to Dumbledore. They stared at the blonde woman at the table, and at the three girls who stood behind her. One was about Harry, Ron and Hermione's age and had blonde hair. Another had black hair, and looked a year younger. The third looked the same age as the second, but had sweeping auburn hair and chocolate brown eyes.
"We have yet another new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher- Professor Fletcher." There was polite applause, and Harry thought he had seen the woman somewhere before. Then he remembered. In a photo from the photo album Hagrid had given him, which had pictures of his parents. There had been a few with the Marauders, Lily, and three other girls. There was one girl, who Harry didn't know, and two twins. He recognised Professor Fletcher as one of them. He didn't know if she was the one hugging Remus or Sirius.
"And also, Professor Fletcher has brought her three daughters. Two of them will be Sorted in a minute, but the third one is only two, and we would like it if you were as kind as possible. I can't remember the last time we had in Hogwarts, but any of you might have to help Professor Fletcher. I will introduce you to the three girls, I'm sure all of you have noticed. The first one is Claudette Black, the eldest of Professor Fletcher's children." Here, a girl with blonde hair, and eyes and a smile Harry recognised as Sirius' stepped forward. "Claudette is fifteen, and will be joining the fifth years. Her other daughter is Colette Black." One of the girl's who looked about a year younger than Harry stepped forward. She had Sirius's hair and eyes. They all stared at the third girl. If the other two were Professor Fletcher's daughters and she had only one other child, a two year old, then who the hell was this. The girl stared around her.
Dumbledore was silent for a while, apparently in an internal debate. Everyone stared at the third girl, until Dumbledore cleared his throat and began again.
"This girl will be with the fourth years. We don't really know how she actually managed to make it to being born." Then he said something incoherent, which sounded bizarrely as if he had said, "her parents are dead." Everyone was still and silent; even more so than the silence last year, when they were about to find out who was to become the Triwizard Tournament champions.
Everyone wanted to know who the mystery girl was; the teachers were looking at each other in disbelief, in shock, as if they still weren't sure if they could believe it.
"You may all think I'm totally mad, and maybe I am. But on this matter, I assure you all I am completely sane." People shifted in their seats, standing up to have a better look at the girl, the silence ever sharper, wondering what on earth Dumbledore was talking about.
"You may not believe this, but her name is Miranda Potter; the daughter of the late Lily and James Potter."
Silence. Harry felt a sea of faces stare at him, too. He felt strange; he had always thought he had been an only child. He felt angry; why hadn't anyone ever told him?
He didn't know what made him do it; he never would have usually. He stood up, and shouted at Dumbledore: "Why didn't you ever tell me?"
Perhaps he still hadn't got over the horrors of the third task, perhaps it's because he felt it was a cruel trick. Didn't anyone know how lonely he was? Without a wizard relative? Just the Dursleys, who hated him. He stormed off to his dormitory. He was now a Prefect, so he knew the password. He lay on his bed staring at the ceiling.
He heard footsteps half an hour later, and was surprised to find that girl standing there, silhouetted in the doorway. She looked just like his mother in the photos he had of her.
"Hi Harry," the girl said awkwardly. "I'm Miranda. I'm also your sister. You're not angry at me, are you?" Harry shook his head, and sat up, looking at her. "I never even saw mum and dad, you had at least one year with them. I was found in mum's coffin. I always knew I had a brother. Daisy always told me about mum, dad, and you. I've always wanted to meet you."
"Daisy?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, Daisy. Professor Fletcher. She was one of mum's best friends. She took me in, raised me up. She's also your godmother. Sirius was her fiancé. She's always saying stuff like: 'If only I could change it all,' and 'Why did it have to happen to US?' She's very nostalgic. I've always wanted to meet you. Tell me about yourself."
So Harry told Miranda, his sister, about everything that had happened to him, his friends, enemies, everything.
"Daisy said Mum died to save you. She must've forgotten about me, but then again, I guess it's fate. Daisy always goes on about the Norns, and she says she and the Marauder's Flowers should never have meddled in fate."
"The Norn's? The Flowers?"
Miranda looked at him. "The Norns, well I don't know anything about them. Daisy is always careful to not talk about them. And the Flowers were the female equivalent of the Marauders. I assume you know about the Marauders."
Harry nodded, and brought out the Marauder's Map and showed Miranda how to use it. "I was never told about the Flowers, though."
Miranda shrugged. "I guess it's because you've never met a Flower. Well, there was Mum, then there was Daisy, Iris and Rose."
"Iris and Rose? Who the hell are they?"
"Iris is Daisy's twin. She was married to Remus. She had a miscarriage, and then killed herself, because she was so depressed about everyone she had lost. Rose had been Sirius's stepsister, but she was murdered years and years ago. Daisy is the only survivor. The Flowers ended up worse than the Marauders."
Harry nodded. "I've always wanted a brother or sister, and now I have one. I just wish someone had told me before."
