Chapter 2
Back From The Dead
Everyone was now staring at Harry with an utmost serious look on their faces.
"Are you sure that's from Sirius, Harry?" Asked Hermione.
"Well it's signed Sirius Black ain't it?" Harry replied pushing the letter towards her.
Dear Harry,
I'm sorry I haven't wrote to you all this time but I had to keep quiet until I knew for sure that Voldemort was gone and that it was safe to contact you. I have been staying at my ex-girlfriends house in France and while I was with her we had a child but she never told me until I moved here. My daughter's name is Lynn and she is currently enrolled at Beauxbatons. But her mother recently past away and since it's now safe we have decided to move to London. We will be arriving at Number 12 Grimmauld place in a couple of days. And as your rightful Guardian you have the option of living with me after everyone else leaves. And since Draco's dad is now in Azkaban and his mother missing he can live with us too. I have contacted the ministry of magic and they have cleared me of all charges, also they have offered me a large sum of money for their wrongful accusations against me.
On a happier note there is also someone else coming with us, you will find out who they are when we get there.
-Sirius
"Bloody Hell!" Yelled Ron "You mean he didn't die in the Department of Mysteries?"
"I guess not." Said Neville. Harry who was unable to speak, did not know if this was some sort of sick joke or his best dream come true.
"Well I guess we better get going to Diagon Alley for your robes and school supplies," Said Ms. Weasley. "Neville honey we can meet your grandmother there."
"Oh I almost forgot we got a new subject this year for 6th and 7th year students who want to learn professional Quidditch, so we will be needing brooms," Hermione informed them. As she proceeded to reading the booklist to herself.
"So what classes have you all taken this year?" Ms. Weasley asked.
"Well Harry and I are taking the same, as usual, Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, Transfiguration, DADA. Not that we need it anymore. Umm, Professional Quidditch, - " Ron said.
"Finally a subject you can't fail." Said Ginny and then everyone broke out laughing.
"Well, I'm taking Arithmancy, Potions with Draco, Professional Quidditch, just cause Ron doesn't think I can also I'm taking Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, Transfiguration, DADA, oh and muggle studies." She finished.
"Well," said Ginny "I'm taking mostly the same as Hermione. Except for muggle studies. I get enough of that from dad."
Just then Mrs Weasley decided that they should get ready to go into town so they cleared there plates and went upstairs and got dressed.
Once in town they were greeted by hundreds of witches and wizards all of whom wanted to shake there hands. After about twenty minutes of this Mrs. Weasley reminded them of why they came and much to the crowds despair they went into Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions. Once inside they were fitted for both there school robes and their dress robes for tonight. Although Ron and Ginny's parents now had some money there robes were still not as nice or as expensive as everyone else's. Even Hermione's were nicer.
Once they had gotten all of there stuff from Diagon Ally they went back to Grimmauld place which as it happens was right across from the Leaky Cauldron. They changed for the ceremony and sat around doing things to keep busy, Harry and Ron played chess, Hermione and Draco were deep in discussion about how to make the perfect polyjuice potion, when a owl came in and landed on Hermione's lap. Just as Ginny was putting away her books, Hermione came in and buried her face in her pillows.
"What's the matter" Ginny asked as she saw her come in. "Are you okay?"
" No" Hermione said, in between sobs. "I just got a letter from my father."
"Well that's good isn't it?" Ginny replied, felling really concerned.
"No, he's been sent to Azkaban!" She replied. "Look." Ginny reached out for the letter and began to read.
Dear Hermione,
I regret to inform you that I have been sent to Azkaban, I was spotted with a known Death Eater, Lucius Malfoy. As it turns out they suspect me of being a Death Eater as well. I must now tell you the truth before you will find out on your own. I have another daughter. Her name is Goldie, she has been living with her mother and half sister Lynn, who is of no relation to me. They are coming to London with Lynn's father, you may know him as Sirius Black. I'm sorry for not telling you this sooner but as we have just met, I didn't want to spoil your perspective of me being unfaithful to your mother. Goldie is in the same year as you, and will be enrolled in Hogwarts this year. Her mother recently passed away and as I can no longer care for her either, she has chosen to live with Sirius till the semester starts. I hope you two will get along and I think you'll find you have a lot in common. I will write again soon.
Love,
Michael Bowmann
