Family ties Summary- (kinda AU but not really) Harry's got family. In fact he has one known relative. His father's sister. She tells him of her childhood and he gets to know his parents. Oliver Wood did not graduate. I'm making him a 7th yr. The rest of them are 5th years. Yea crazy but it will get dramatic!
Disclaimer- I own nothing, Review!

Chapter 2 Learning the story.

"Harry, Hun, wake up" he opened his eyes to see his aunt. His aunt! That's
right.
He sat up quickly.
She smiled "We meet after so many years Harry." She hugged him and he
looked around. He was in a room. Not his but a room, He assumed hers. "I'm sorry not to be rude or anything but could you maybe explain exactly
who you are, I mean like how.Why didn't I know about you?"
She nodded a little. "Ill start from the beginning. Your father was one grade ahead of me. One
grade ahead of him was Tom Riddle. You know who that is."
He nodded " When I came to school I was put into Gryffindor. James was here as well as Sirius and Remus (not sure if that's right). Tom was in Slytherin. With
Severus." She smiled "James was very protective of me. What shocked the school most was I was
the only Gryffindor that could hang out with the Slytherin and not be
hurt." She laughed.
" Maybe it was because my boyfriend. I was in love with.." She was
hesitant.
"I almost married Tom Riddle"
Harry almost jumped up
"Let me explain Harry"
He sat down and gulped letting the fury slip away.
"Well. Not to sound vain but. James loved me because I was his sister. Sirius loved me for James but he did love me. Tom loved me I know he did
before he. and Severus." She laughed at Harry's face. "Severus loved me because maybe it was I was the only one who showed him
any attention"
She sighed inwardly
"I was loved. Harry you don't know but Tom was a great man.. he was. In
fact he even once tried to be nice to James for me.I guess it was his
destiny to hate him because that day ended with him and James in the hospital. See Tom proposed to me James 7th year. So he didn't go here any
more. Of course I accepted and we were engaged."
Tears had filled up her eyes " I was so in love I couldn't see what he was becoming. James warned me. Even Lily tried but I shrugged them off. We were engaged for four years. I kept stalling I knew deep down I couldn't he had turned so cold. By that
time you were born, Gawd your parents loved you so."
She gulped "That day.That day.." She started crying. "Harry I can't..Would you like to
see it yourself? I can let you see but I can't explain"
He nodded quickly.
"Please I want to know."
She nodded and placed her hand against his forehead
The scene played before him
Acacia walked into the house smiling as Harry sat on the floor. Lily
smiled.
"Katie. There you are darling. Watch Harry for a moment my dinner is
burning" She ran into the kitchen.
Acacia laughed "oh Lily..Hi Harry" She picked him up with ease. "How is my baby?" She spoke to him with love. "Oh lets go see Jamesy." She
turned to see James there smiling.
"Katie don't drop my son." He took Harry from her. She leaned back against a wall. "I wouldn't leave my god son" She smiled James looked at her. "You know Sirius is Harry's god father.I mean ya know
if things don't work out with Tom."
She cringed. "He doesn't call himself that anymore James." James frowned "For Merlin's sake Acacia! Don't you see how evil he is? You
know he's been killing wizards. Why do you stay with him!"? He started
yelling. Lily walked in her face soft. "James calm down." She took Harry from him.
"Katie darling. Its just we worry so."
"I know Lily its just.." She stopped abruptly and her eyes grew wide.
James looked out the window. He saw a hooded figure walking towards the
house.
Acacia looked out as well.
"Voldermort" James said.
Acacia grew fearful. "Lily take Harry upstairs. James stay inside"
James opened his mouth
"Do as I say!" Acacia yelled and walked outside and towards the figure.
"Tom I-"
"Do not speak that nasty name!" The figure hissed.
"Why are you here?" She looked at him strangely
He smiled thru the clock and she instinctively backed up. "To show you what you need most is me. I will not have others in your life.
Plus your fool brother is against me. I shall give him one more chance. Then I will kill his son" His voice sounded of rotting and decay. His last statement made something in Acacia snap and she lunged at him. "Touch Harry and Ill kill you!" she outreached her hands to strangle him but he caught
her easily.
"James!" she screamed Voldermort struck her. "You will die for him!? Then do it" He pushed her
away and pointed his wand at her as James ran out.
"James save Harry!" She screamed as she was hit by a deep red light.
James took off back inside.
Voldermort looked at her in pain. "I may be evil Katie.but my heart is still for you. You will not die. I will freeze you and when they can heal you they will. Dumbledore and his little followers. But the Potters wont be here and you will come to me!" He muttered a spell and she stopped moving.
She stared at the house her right hand outreached for it, as if she was willing herself to help. Her mouth stuck in an "o" that how she was frozen. Only she was alive and she could see everything. She tried to scream but couldn't as Voldermort swished past her and headed into the house. She saw James and him fight. Saw James fall to the floor lifeless. She couldn't do
anything. She watched as for some reason she could see Lily and Harry as Voldermort opened the door. As Lily begged for Harry's Life. When he struck down Lily,
Still Acacia could not do anything. When he walked to the crib and leaned over. When the curse was mentioned and the light filled the house. Acacia screamed. Her scream could be heard for miles. A tear went down her cheek and froze. That's when she went into
a deep sleep for there was nothing left for her. That was how
Dumbledore found her and how she stayed for 15 years.
