In just the few moments that it had taken to apparate back to her "home", Melody already had tears in her eyes and was on the verge of sobbing. She felt like she understood everything now. She could tell that Harry felt at home; she knew he would because she had always felt that way. Hogwarts was more of a home to her than her real home. She could also tell that he was lonely, but she figured now he would try and use his connection to Albus to find her. But now she knew that Harry would never look for her and that he would never even try to reach her.

'I knew that the separation would cause problems,' she frantically thought. 'I just knew it would. I don't know what I'm going to do now. It'll take a lifetime to get Harry to accept me as his sister.'

With that, Melody got up and made a very rash decision. The very next day she left for the Ministry with only one thought on her mind: 'There are some things that need to change. Now.'

That was a year ago. Harry's first year at Hogwarts had passed and now he was back at Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia's house, well, stuck was more like it. It was times like these that Harry wished his parents hadn't been killed. Now he knew that truth about everything; his powers, his parents, He-who-must-not-be-named, Hogwarts, everything! Except one thing; He had a feeling that whenever he talked with Professor Dumbledore that there was something more he wasn't saying. And there was too. Albus desperately wanted to tell Harry about Melody and right the wrong that he made 10 years ago, but he knew it wouldn't be right. It wasn't his place to spring something like that on him; he knew Melody would try and find a way and he was right. Melody had taken her case to Cornelius Fudge almost the very next day and demanded that hers and Harry's case be re-examined. Fudge declined at first- it was too much of a risk for the Ministry to expose them as a fake like that. But that definitely did not stop her. She appealed the case everyday for months until, finally, in the summer, Fudge gave up and reopened their case.

Melody had been in court almost every day since the end of May and seemed to be making some headway; she hadn't gotten full custody of Harry, but things were still going very well and it seemed like the Potter family might finally be reunited after ten years. And what a chilling reunion it would be; especially since one of them didn't even know the other one existed!

It took quite a while to figure out their case. There were way too many details to be fixed to make sure they could cover their tracks. After all, the Ministry had given Melody a funeral! How could they just make her reappear after all these years as if nothing had ever happened and they had known she was still alive? Most of the magical world had forgotten about Melody to be truthful. After she "died", everyone got so caught up in Harry and his defeat of a great, powerful, evil wizard when he was only a small baby that no one seemed to fret about her death. Of course they were sad and everyone mourned her death (She had almost three thousand people at her funeral) but they just all got so busy in their non-dark arts lives that they just let her rest in peace. Of course there were the few that knew she was still alive and the few that still mourned her death even today.

Some friends of the Potters had never forgotten about little Melody, mostly because they knew the potential she possessed. Most normal magic people didn't know all that Melody could do; they never understood why Voldemort had been after her. Most had just assumed it was to try and get to Lily and James Potter; they never thought that Melody could have a destiny to be a great wizard. Now everyone thought that was Harry's destiny, but Harry was quite, quite less powerful than Melody was. There was also one family who had never forgotten Melody: The Weasleys. But they remembered her as a wonderful friend. Ron and Ginny had never gotten to know her and the twins had only been two years younger than she had, not old enough to become close with her. Molly and Arthur felt like they had lost one of their own and mourned every year on her birthday. Bill and Charlie had loved Melody like the little sister they didn't have (yet) and missed her terribly. They always kept a picture of her on them somewhere and scolded themselves if they ever left it anywhere.

But most of all, her best friend missed her like a flower misses the sun. Percy and Melody were the same age and Percy had always felt so comfortable around her and really cool too. Melody had entered Hogwarts when she was three years old and Percy had been so jealous, but so happy for her. They were so close and spent all of their free time together. When Melody went to school, they wrote to each other every day and sometimes even a couple of times a day! Their owls would get so tired that Melody would have to send a school owl every couple of days because her owl would be so tired, it would refuse to go anywhere! Unbeknownst to anyone, Percy had cried himself to sleep every night for four years after Melody "died". But he had always felt that something wasn't right; he always got the feeling that he would see her again. He used to tell his family this but they would just laugh or tell him he was silly and foolish; Melody was NEVER coming back, she was dead.
