Chapter 2

"Well, hello young Harry Potter." Ms. Figg said in a very misty voice, and as soon as she saw Harry give a weird look she said. "Sorry, I've been sick, taking care of my um…..well….a….friend. So just follow me and I'll show you up to your room."

When Harry got up to his room he unpacked all of his stuff when a very beautiful familiar white owl soared through the window, and Harry looked at Ms. Figg very weirdly again. 'Please, oh please, don't let her suspect anything,' Harry thought to himself.

Seeing that Ms. Figg noticed the note on Hedwig's leg she responded, "Harry, why don't you read that letter. It seems one of your friends needs you, and this would be one of your school friend, am I correct?"

Harry just nodded his head and untied the note and began to read it:

Harry,

Hope your having a good time at Ms. Figg's house. Does it still smell bad? Does she still have all of those cats? We all know how much you hate cats. Anyways, Mum and Dad said it would be okay for Hedwig to stay with you at Ms. Figg's house. If you ask me I think they've fallen off of their rocker. (Don't ever repeat that to mum. Thanks.) Hermione showed up here last night and all I've been hearing from Ginny's room is the both of them giggling non-stop! I have no clue how I'm going to make through this summer without you here to keep me sane! Dad says we should be getting our Hogwarts letters soon, and so be on the look out.

Ron

P.S. You would not believe how incredible Hermione looks in a bikini!

P.S.S. Please don't ever repeat that to anyone that I said that!

Ron

Harry was laughing hysterically until he looked up and actually noticed the room he'd been standing in. The room was sky blue with Quidditch things all over it, a double four poster bed with scarlet draperies, a wardrobe, and a drawer for him. This bedroom explained Harry down to every part of him and he looked at Ms. Figg in awe, trying to figure out how she knew…especially about Quidditch. Ms. Figg pulled out a long slinder wand and tapped the top of her head and all Harry could think was, 'How did she get a wand? How does she know how to use it?' The ugly, old lady Ms. Figg began to fade away and a beautiful woman appeared in front of Harry's eyes, in which made his jaw drop. She had long blond hair that fell to the mid section of her back, and her hair was in layers which framed her beautiful face. The woman in front of him had ice blue eyes and a kind very kind smile, a smile he could have sworn he'd seen before. Harry was about a head taller than she was, but he had to admit he had grown a lot over these last two weeks.

Harry looked at her astonished, "YOU'RE A WITCH!" She nodded her head and Harry went on, "BUT…HOW….WHEN…WHY DIDN'T YOU EVER TELL ME?"

"Harry, now wait a minute let me explain…"

"Wait! Does Petunia know?"

"No, she doesn't Harry but let me start from the beginning. Oh yeah and you might want to sit down for this," she motioned to the bed, and Harry obeyed by sitting down.

"In case your wondering, yes, I did go to school with your parents." 'I knew it,' Harry thought to himself. The woman in front of him continued, "I was Lily's, your mother, best friend and I met her on our first train ride to Hogwarts, on our first year. We were both in Gryffindor and we shared the same dorm together. Although, I dated your father our first and second year, then I was with Remus during our third year, I didn't have anything to do with…my true love until fourth year." She looked on the verge of tears, "Your mother dated Remus our first and second year, and finally before summer of our third year your father got up the guts and asked her out. They were together until the day…that Voldemort showed up at your house on Halloween, that night." Harry felt a his heart jump.

She continued once again, "Then they took Sirius away to Azkaban as he was to be the Secret Keeper, and Peter was dead…"

Harry jumped in right then, "NO HE'S NOT! Ms. Figg he's alive." She held up her hand.

"I know that now, Harry. Remus and I have talked since then, and I've seen Peter already, in Romania. I recognized him as that disgusting Rat that he IS!" Ms. Figg screamed, "Oh." Ms. Figg blushed, "Sorry Harry, I never really liked Peter as a matter of fact neither did you, as a baby, you'd never let him hold you. You'd scream and cry and Lily became worried, she said it a few times to James, but he told her she was just imagining things."

Harry found his voice finally, "So you know my godfather? You know, Sirius Black?"

At the mention of his name tears began to leak down her face, "Know of him, of course I know of him…Harry he was my fiancée, we were to be married on November 2nd, two days after your parents were killed. They took Sirius away to Azkaban, and I never got to marry my one true love. So I came to the Muggle world as your secret keeper and I transfigured my self into an old pitiful woman with many cats. I introduced myself to Petunia after I moved here and that's how I started caring for you."

"Have you heard anything from Sirius since he's left Azkaban?"

Ms. Figg sniffled again, "Why, yes I have. If only his name was cleared, then we would be married." She said with a gleam of hope in her eye, "You see Harry, we are both your godparents. But…I just can't raise you."

"But, why can't you?"

"Dumbledore says it's safer for you to be at your aunt Petunia's house. Voldemort would never think of you being there, but he'd most likely find you here…easily."

"No, he won't! You look nothing like yourself! I want to live with Sirius, my godfather, or even you, my godmother!" Harry yelled.

"Harry, we'll talk about this tomorrow. Wow, how time has past, it's now 30 minutes after midnight, and I am tired. Please be up early tomorrow we have some errands to run tomorrow and we're going to Diagon Alley to get your school supplies. Good night, my dear." She kissed him on his head, and with a swish of her wand all of his Hogwarts stuff was in his room and she smiled at him lovingly like a mother would do. With one last swish of her wand the lights in his room turned off and she walked out of his room and shut the door.

'Wow!' Harry thought to himself. 'My godmother is Ms. Figg, and she was engaged to Sirius before my parents were killed. I've got to write Ron and Hermione!'

Dear Ron and Hermione,

I'm not as bored as I thought I'd be at Ms. Figg's house. You have no clue who she actually is! Snuffles' fiancée, or since he's on the run would that be considered an ex? She's also my godmother! I'll be here for two weeks and she's going to help me with my school work. We're going to Diagon Alley tomorrow to get my school stuff, do you think you'd be able to go? Hope to see you then.

Harry

P.S. Hermione hope you and Ginny aren't giving Ron that hard of a time with me not being there.

Harry went over to Hedwig's cage and tied the note to her leg. Hedwig looked at him and gave him a loving nibble on his finger.

"Hey girl, try and get this to them before the morning," she cooed as if she knew how important it was.

As she left the window, Harry took his glasses off set them on his bed side table, closed his eyes and fell asleep happily thinking about his godmother.
