Disclaimer: Whether I want to admit it or not, I do not own any Characters that you may recognize. I have an imagination; however if I had J.K. Rowling's I wouldn't be posting Fan Fiction. There may be some new characters that I of course made up but then who knows I may have picked up them some place too. I am also sure the plot may be somewhat different but not completely original.

Chapter 2 Our summer

"Ok on to the important things. Your trip this summer. The last letter I received from you said that it was successful. What happened?" Hermione was always on to get right to the point.

"Well..Wait a minute Mione," Harry said. They watched as he took out his wand and cast a silencing charm on the door. "Okay her we go. AS you know Ron and I were sent to America, by Professor Dumbledore. We were looking for a Native American artifact that is said to be able to prophesize events that will happen within the next year form the time it is activated."

"Yes Harry I know all this. I also know that it only prophesizes events in the holder future. What I want to know is what happened when you got there."

"Jeeze Mione a little impatient?" Harry mumbled under his breath. "What Dumbledore didn't tell you was where this artifact could be found. Ron and I were the only ones who knew. Not that he didn't trust you" he said hurriedly seeing as she was getting angry, "It was because he didn't want you to be burdened with this information. Anyway we flew to the States and ended up in a town called Erie, Pennsylvania.

Ron had to interject at this point. "I don't know how you people can travel the muggle way."

"I've heard of that place" said Hermione. "It was home to the Eriez Indians and Oliver Hazard Perry. My favorite quote come forms him. 'We have met the enemy and they are ours'.

I think I would have more impressed if she never heard of it thought Ron.

Harry continued. "The artifact that we were looking for was Part of the Eriez tribe. That was basically all we knew. Dumbledore had secured us a place to stay with a muggle family. Now I know how your mind works Mione so don't ask I will tell you. It was ok to stay with them because when the Children were born they all had special abilities. Things we know as magic. The ministry in the States was alerted some many times by this family that they felt it would be better to explain what was going on instead of hiding it. The family learned to accept this and learned how control the children's powers. When Dumbledore contacted them they were more than happy to let us stay."

Now Hermione was a little confused. She of course heard of non wizarding families who bore children with magical abilities. She herself was one. But she had never heard of more than one child per family. As Hermione processed this information Harry continued.

"We had the address so we called a muggle taxi from the airport and were there in about 20 minutes. When we got there a woman answered the door and introduced herself as Shelli Keller."

*******Flashback*********

"Hello my name is Shelli Keller. You must be Ronald Weasley pointing at Ron and you are Harry Potter."

"No offense Mrs. Keller but how did you know which was which?" Harry asked.

She though about it for a moment and the said, "You know I have no idea. It's almost like I know you two. Hmm weird. But then again what do expect form this family."

Now for my rules not many of them. First thing today you are my guest we will help you find anything you need. Tomorrow you are family you don't have to ask for anything. Just take what you need. Also no Mr. and Mrs. crap just call me Shelli and my husband is mike."

Mrs. Kell.. I mean Shelli, where is your husband? I also heard you had children but I don't see any.

Well Harry my husband is working an early shift today so he could be home to meet you and the children are at their Grandmothers. Mike will be picking them up on their way home. Are you boy's hungry?"

Harry and Ron both nodded.

"Well then let me give you a quick tour and by the time we are done then everyone should be home."

"This is our living room"

"Wow what is that?" asked Ron.

"It's a Television Ron I told you about them. However this one is larger than usual. Are you rich?"

Shelli laughed. "No Mike just likes his toys."

"Up here are the bedrooms and the family room. I hope you and Ron don't mind sharing a bed. The futon is quite roomy and comfortable."

"Not a problem it's bigger than my bed at home. Ron's too."

As they were finishing the tour they heard a lot of racket coming from downstairs. "Ah I see everyone is home. Let's go and meet them."

"Mike, this is Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter. They are the boy's professor Dumbledore wanted to stay with us."

Mike looked at the two boys carefully. "Have we met before? You look awfully familiar. "

"No sir" Harry said. "I don't remember meeting you. Have you ever been to London?"

Laughing, "I wish."

Shelli looked around and saw Ron staring open mouthed at the kids. "Oh let me introduce the children. This is Aaron he is the oldest. Hess 11. He will be attending Hogwarts this year. I would like to talk to you about that tomorrow. These two are Joshua and Stephen both 9. This is Tyler who is 7 and his twin Tarra our only girl and youngest."

Ron started laughing. "You know Shelli if I didn't know better I would say I walked into my house except everyone has blonde hair instead of red." Harry nodded his head in agreement.

"Ok everyone dinner time." Shelli called as they all gathered around the table.

"I'm sorry it's not a very fancy meals but around here the similar the better."

"That's ok Shelli; I love Mac-n-cheese and hamburgers." Harry said with a smile.

"Oh my God this is so good. I've never tasted anything like it." Ron said in between bites.

"What?" said Aaron? "Mom there is no way I am going to a school where they don't have Mac-n-cheese."

"Don't worry Aaron," Harry said in a mock whisper, "Hogwarts serves it all the time. Ron is just afraid to try anything new. Not as brave as he thinks he is."

Everyone laughed as Ron's ears turned red and he mumbled something under his breath.

After dinner Mike Shelli Harry and Ron sat down to discuss the reason they were there.

"You're headmaster Dumbledore; right, said you were looking for an artifact held at one time by the Eriez Indians. If I am not mistaken my wife knows of some people who could be a great help to you."

"Of course I do. Tomorrow after the kids go to their various activities I will contact a few people."

"Thanks we can use all the help we can get." Harry said seriously. Almost in unison the two boys yawned.

"Off to bed I didn't realize how late it was. We will see you in the morning. Sleep well."

"Night"

End flashback

Harry was about to continue when the door slammed open. They all turned to see Draco Malfoy sneering at them. "Potty, Weasel I am looking for granger where is she." Ron and Harry looked at each other in shock. She was right Harry thought he doesn't recognize her.

"What do you want with Mione?" Ron demanded.

"As much as it sickens me, she is Head girl, I am the Head boy. We need to go to a meeting." Malfoy saw a third person in the compartment. He recognized her as the girl from earlier. "Well hello there beautiful. Didn't notice you. Why are you sitting in here with these two gits? You could have been sitting with me so we could 'discuss' what I said earlier.

Hermione started giggling and Ron nearly jumped on Draco. Harry pulled Ron back and put his fingers to his lips indicating that they should just watch.

Assuming she was giggling because she was enjoying the flirting Draco continued saying "Come on let me take you away. Let's have some real fun." Hermione started laughing harder and was almost in tears. She raised her head and looked directly into Malfoy's grey eyes.

"Why is she looking at me like that?" he thought. "Wait a minute. I know those eyes. It can't be. OH MY GOD , I was flirting with the mudblood.
