Disclaimer: You know the drill. I only own the plot and a few characters I created. I do not own Harry Potter.

A/N: Finally. It took me a long time to actually want to write this. There will be French in this chapter. After each bit of French I will translate it. May not be exact translation. But maybe only for this chapter, 'cause even though it's fun to have the French there, it's a pain in the butt to translate and write both. But anyways here it is! R&R!

Chapter 2-One confusing family

"Hurry up, Potter," spat Snape. "I haven't got all day. Where are your things?"

"Just there," said Harry grimly, pointing to his trunk.

Snape stalked over and grabbed one end of the trunk. He began to drag it then changed his mind. He pulled out his wand and cast a levitation spell so it followed along behind him.

"I don't see why I have to have an escort. And to be the first off the train. It is not my-er-wish to be coddled," said Harry darkly. "And I don't see why it had to be you."

"I know you do not want an escort, Potter. I have better things to do to. Hurry up. Coming Granger? Weasley?"

They walked out into the still deserted corridor in a very subdued matter. The moment the train stopped at the station, they moved off of it, Snape in the lead.

Upon reaching the platform, the mood brightened considerably. Snape would be leaving them as soon as they met Mrs. Weasley.

Without a word, they passed through the barrier and into the station. They wandered aimlessly for several minutes before they found the Weasleys. Ginny had already found her mother, Fred and George.

Mrs. Weasley smiled. "Thank you for delivering them safely to me, Severus. Let's go find your uncle, Harry dear."

"Hiz uncle iz not coming," said an alien voice behind them. They whipped around in surprise. Upon seeing the speaker, Harry's eyes widened in apparent delight.

"Sarah!?" he gasped.

The girl who had spoken was several inches shorter than Harry. She looked to be about Ginny's age. Her hair was a reddish-gold and fell to her mid-back. Her eyes were bright blue and full of mischief.

"Sarah?" questioned Hermione. "Who's that?"

"Me," said the girl, before turning to Harry. "Ton oncle a un chose pour son travaille. Nous te cherche aujourd'hui. Maman, Becky, Lauren, Alysa et moi. Nous habitons à Privet Drive encore!" 'Your uncle had this thing for his work. We came to get you today. Mom, Becky, Lauren, Alysa, and me. We live at Privet Drive again!'

The Weasleys looked slightly confused. Especially when Harry replied.

"Ah, oui? Lauren et Alysa, aussi?" 'Really? Lauren and Alysa, too?'

"Oui, Harry!"

"Yipee! C'était un longtemps! Où sont les autres maintenant?" 'Yes! It's been a long time. Where are the others now?'

"Elles viennent en quelque minutes." 'They're on their way.'

"Uh, Harry? What's going on? Who the bloody hell is she?" asked Ron. His mother never thought to scold him for his language.

"Whoops. How silly of me," he replied. "This is Sarah Milton. She lived next door to me until I was 8, moved away to Germany then came back after my second year. She moved to France in mid July that year…Wait…Je suis très stupide!" 'I am very stupid!'

"What?"

"I'm stupid. I missed that?! How?! Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"Uh…Why are you stupid Harry?"

"Cause I missed some-Lauren!" He flew away (well practically) towards an approaching group of girls. One of them gave a small shout of joy.

"Harry!" she cried. "I thought you said you would write, you…you…petit fou!" 'Little fool' She had a distinguished French accent. She gave Harry what must have been a bone-crushing hug as they approached.

"This is everyone else-" he was cut off by the excited girl.

"Speak properly. It iz not good to hide what you are."

He continued as if no one had said a word. "This here is Lauren. She's Sarah's cousin." He pointed to the girl who had hugged him.

She had thick, wavy black hair that fell just past her shoulders. Her eyes were a vibrant hazel that was just about green. Her complexion was pale and she was very fragile looking. She was smiling just ever so slightly and her eyes were alight with happiness. She really was quite beautiful.

"This is Alysa," Harry continued, pointing to a pretty girl beside Lauren. "She's Lauren's sister."

This girl had iron straight auburn hair that fell to her waist and pale hazel eyes brimming over with dreams. She was a little stockier than her sister, but she still had the same petite and delicate look. Her mouth was curved in a frown.

"And this," said Harry, pointing to the youngest girl, "is Becky. She's Sarah's little sister. She'll be coming to Hogwarts in September."

The little girl had curly red-gold hair and brilliant violet eyes. She was clutching Lauren's hand in a shy fashion. She looked quite frightened, actually.

Hermione looked confused. " You…you're witches?" she stammered.

Lauren's smile widened. "Yes, we are. Alysa et moi, we are transferring to 'Ogwarts in September. Our uncle feels we should be closer to him. Our guardian, Morgani agreed."

"What about you, Sarah? Aren't you a witch too?" Hermione was growing more confused by the minute.

"Moi? Oui. I am a witch. But I can no longer use magic. I lost that ability years ago…"

"Lost your magic?" scoffed Hermione. "Isn't that impossible?"

"No," said a silky voice behind them, making Ron and Hermione jump. They had not realized Snape was still there. "Magic can be lost in…many…" his voice trailed away.

Harry smiled as a woman approached, presumably Sarah and Becky's mother. She gave him a quick hug. "Long time no see, Harry," she said.

"Long time no see, Aunt Lucy."

Hermione raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth to speak, but she was interrupted before she could even begin.

The woman, Lucy Milton turned to Snape and continued. "Been even longer since I saw you, Severus. To think, my own half-brother's been avoiding me."

A/N: Whew. Anyways…Yes Snape did stop using magic when he got onto platform 9&3/4. I just didn't mention it and don't feel like changing it. Next chapter you will see some of the connections between my characters and Harry. Snape, too. These connections are very important. But remember, not everything will be revealed. The chapter is already written, I just have to type it on the computer and post it. Shouldn't take to long. Anyways, please review!
