Chapter 4: The Burrow

Harry did not see Katelyn again. Mr. Weasley and Ron showed up at 10 in the morning. Uncle Vernon was mad because they had just appeared in the living room holding an old pot.
"Hi, Harry," Ron said, "Ready to go."
"Yes," said Harry, "Here's my trunk, and here's Hedwig."
"Let's get out of here," said Ron, "I get the feeling they don't like us here."
"I wonder why?" joked Harry.
"Bye," said Mr. Weasley, "nice seeing you again. Grab a hold of the pot Harry."
Harry did and it felt like something pulled him around the middle. Then he arrived in the Weasley's kitchen.
"Oh, Harry, it is so nice to see you," said Mrs. Weasley giving him a hug, "Did you have breakfast?"
"No," Harry said, "I'm starving."
"Good, I just got it finished."
After breakfast, Harry and Ron went upstairs to Ron's room. They got Harry settled. Then Ron handed Harry his birthday present. Harry opened it and found a photo album of the Marauders. Wormtail had left all of the pictures.
"Wow," said Harry, "How did you get this."
"Sirius had a box full of pictures, so Mom told me I could put them in an album for you," said Ron.
"Thank you so much," said Harry.
Harry and Ron looked threw all of the pictures. They laughed at many of the things the group was doing. Then Ron told Harry about his whole summer. To Harry's surprise, Ron had asked Hermione out and she had accepted. They were now girlfriend and boyfriend. "I hope you won't feel left out," said Ron looking a little worried.
"Left out," Harry laughed, "Are you kidding? This is great!"
"So do YOU like anybody, Harry?" asked Ron.
"Errr," said Harry, "Sort of."
"Sort of," laughed Ron, "What do you mean sort of."
"Well, I know she likes me, but she is going out with Dudley," said Harry.
"WHAT?!" said Ron, looking very confused.
"As far as I know she is a muggle," Harry explained. Ron laughed.
"But I have my doubts," continued Harry.
He told him all about Katelyn. When he had finished Ron had a very confused expression on his face. "You mean you think she is Sirius's daughter?"
Harry nodded his head.
"But why didn't he tell us he had a wife and daughter?" asked Ron.
"I do not know," said Harry.
"May be Mom and Dad would know," said Ron.
"May be," Harry said.
They went downstairs to find Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
"There you are," said Ron finding them in the living room, "We have a question for you."
"Well, what is it?" asked Mr. Weasley.
"We would like to know if Sirius was ever married," said Ron.
"Why do you want to know that?" asked Mrs. Weasley surprised.
Ron started to answer, but Harry interrupted, "We were just curious."
"Well, he did have a wife," answered Mr. Weasley, "her name was Mary. Peter killed her just before he went after Sirius."
"WHAT?!" said Ron.
Harry elbowed him. "Thanks for telling us," said Harry looking sad, "Come on Ron." Ron followed Harry back upstairs.
"Why didn't you tell them?" Ron asked Harry.
"Because, if she is dead then she can not be living near the Dursley's," said Harry, "but that would explain why Sirius did not tell us."
"Yes," said Ron, "It most certainly would."
Harry just thought of something. "I wonder how your Mom and Dad found out that she was killed."
"Why does that matter?" asked Ron.
"Well, maybe someone lied about it," said Harry.
"They could have," said Ron, "but I am sure they would have found out by now that she was alive."
"I guess so," said Harry. Thank you so much for reviewing Blazin-Phoenix, orligurl88, and Diosa Alexia. I hope to update every day or two, but it will be a little harder now because school starts tomorrow. Please review.
