Chapter 15: A Secret Worth Keeping

The next day, Maria came to see her daughter to fill her in a secret that is well worth keeping, until the day that it is perfectly safe.

"Buenos Dias, mama' (good day, mama)," Christiana said.

"Buenos Dias, mija," Maria answered.

"Como estas (how are you)?"

"Mas o menos, y tu? (so, so, and you)"

"Bien. (well)"

"Mija, there's a secret that you must know."

"What is it, mama'?"

"First, Harry Potter has yet to return from fighting Voldemort."

"Oh god. How is Ginny?"

"She doesn't know yet."

"Is he still alive?"

"I can still tell that he is alive."

"Good. I hope he gets back soon."

"Me, too, mija. Secondly, Voldemort didn't succeed in killing his parents."

"What?"

"His father is the only one that died that night."

"Why doesn't Harry know this, and how did Lily survive and keep hidden?"

"Harry doesn't know for his own good. Lily was pregnant at the time, and that's what kept her alive. But, she had to hide as a muggle or Voldemort would kill her."

"Oh my."

"She's still alive living with the twins that she was pregnant with, Kevin and Katie."

"When can Harry know about his mom being alive?"

"If he comes back alive, he can know next school year."

"Was Lily able to teach the twins magic?"

"Yes, but see Harry has an older sister, Hope, too."

"What happened to her?"

"Voldemort didn't know that they Potters had a daughter older than Harry, so Sirius Black got out with her in promise to meet Lily soon who would have Harry. Lily couldn't get out of there, and Sirius came back to find James dead and Lily near death with little Harry crying for his mum."

"Where's Hope now?"

"Hiding on the grounds of Hogwarts."

"You've got to be kidding me."

"I'm not. Next year, she'll be Madam Pince's apprentice in the Library going by Hope Evans until her mother can reveal that she is alive."

"What about bringing James back? Can we do that?"

"I'll use the potion to bring him back and reunite him with is wife and children."

"Ok."

"You are not to tell a soul about this, mija."

"I won't, mama'. I promise."

Her mother left, and she sat there and thought about what she had just been told, and realized that it truly was a secret worth keeping because Harry would be reunited with his parents very soon.

A few hours later the entire Order walked in with an injured Harry. Christiana was holding Isabel watching Harry and Ginny together. They were so happy, and soon they'd be much happier, especially now that Voldemort as dead and all the death eaters were slowly but surely being sent to Azkaban. Life was getting better, and soon it would be even better with the entire Potter family reunited.
