The Fourth Potter
By: Emerald May
Chapter 9
Lily looked at her son with wide eyes, hardly able to believe that her daughter was alive. "A-are you sure Harry?"
"Yes," Harry replied as he fumbled through his muggle shorts for the parchment he was looking for. "Read this," He said, handing the paper to his parents. "I forgot to tell you this, but this dropped from the girl while she was walking out of The Three Broomsticks. I tried to give it back to her, but she was gone, along with her two friends."
James and Lily read the parchment. James looked at his wife, open-mouth. "B-but why did Dumbledore keep this a secret from us?"
Sirius couldn't take the tension any longer. "Give me that!" He said as he snatched the frayed parchment out of his friend's hands. He quickly scanned the parchment.
On July 31, 1980, Harry James Potter was born. Three years later, Lily Evans Potter gave birth to Sakura Lily Potter, born on April 1, 1982. On October 31, 1982, Lord Voldemort attacked the Potter household. He said the Killing Curse which backfired as it hit Harry, who was amazingly unharmed except for a thin lighting shaped scar upon his forehead. As the curse came towards Sakura, who was held by Voldemort, Sakura began emitting a silver glow, and the curse hit them. Sakura Lily Potter is rumored to be currently living in Tomoeda, Japan, under the care of Fujitaka Kinomoto. Sakura has taken the name, Sakura Kinomoto, to conceal her identity from Voldemort. Sakura Lily Potter will be attending Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on September 1st, 1993.
Sirius looked up bewildered. "Sakura is alive and Dumbledore never even told us?" His stunned expression was quickly replaced with outrage. "How could he?"
Harry timidly spoke up. "Um, maybe he didn't want us to get hopeful on getting her back."
The three looked back at him. "What do you mean?" Lily asked, keeping her tears, which were no longer sadden but now filled with hope, from falling down her cheeks.
"Well, it says here," Harry jabbed his finger at the sentence, " that Sakura was brought into the family of the Kinomoto residence and everyone that knew them thought Mrs. Kinomoto had a child."
James looked thoughtful. "You know, you might be right."
"Oh James! I can't believe it!" Lily's eyes shone. "Our daughter is alive!"

Hermione Granger dragged her trunks down the train, hoping to find a not-too-crowded compartment. She saw Harry in one and motioned Ron to bring his things in.
Ron, his back facing the compartment called, "Hey Harry. Took awhile to look for you."
"Um, sorry, but my name isn't Harry."
Both Hermione and Ron turned to look. "Oh, I'm sorry!" Hermione exclaimed. "I thought you was our friend." She studied Sakura for a second. "You look so much like him." Ron nudged her side.
"It's his sister!" Ron whispered into her ear.
Realization crossed over Hermione's face as she remembered Harry's comment and Draco's seeing her.
"Do you mind if we sit here?" Ron asked, breaking up the awkward silence.
Sakura waved her hand at the empty room. "Sure." She moved her shoulder bag to make room for them to sit. They sat down next to her and Ron to ask questions.
"Are you really his sister?"
"Where were you all this time?"
"Where did you live if you weren't with Harry and his parent's?"
"RON!" Hermione shouted, shutting Ron up, and making Sakura chuckle.
He shrugged his shoulders saying, "What? Just asking some questions."
Hermione gave Ron a Look. She then said, "Speaking of Harry, where is he?"
"M-my blood brother?" Sakura asked quietly. Hermione nodded.
"Yeah, where is he?" Ron also wondered out loud. He looked outside the compartment, hoping to see his best friend coming down the train's corridor.
Hermoine looked out the window. "There he is! Harry! Hurry!" Hermione said as the train began to speed up. Ron ran to the window shouting, "Run Harry! Come on!"
Well, I guess here is the time I come face-to-face with my real brother, Sakura thought with a jumpy feeling in her stomach.
