The New Arrival
Chapter 2
Harry hadn't been able to sleep since the incident in his fifth year. If only he had... no it was pointless to think about it. He opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings. His room was a lot better then it had ever been. His aunt and uncle had been terrified by his new friends, especially Mad-eye Moody. They had given him a few luxuries and had practically avoided him all summer. Right now the room was dark, it was still very early in the morning. Harry looked over at his clock - 3am - he rolled over and tried to get back to sleep, but every time he closed his eyes the events from the previous year flashed before his eyes. He went through them all, the visions to the death of his godfather, but suddenly out of nowhere a flash of a new face came to his eyes. I t was a girl about his age with dark chestnut hair that went just past her shoulders and ivory skin. She was glaring at him, and that is when he noticed her eyes, they were as green as his own, maybe even more so, and they burned with a fire he had only seen in the eyes of another. And the other was Voldemort. As she stared at him with those eyes, he saw a snake wrap itself around her, and as it reached her neck she grinned and the snake jumped at harry, fangs beared and ready for the attack.

"What did you just say!?" Said Erin's Aunt Lucretia, finally noticing her. Erin looked at her aunt wearily and repeated her question a little more hesitantly.
"What's a muggle?"
Her aunt just stared at her in disbelief, until Tonks spoke, breaking the unbearable silence.
"This is... Erin Lulu. Lana's Daughter, from Canada. She's been, uh... a little sheltered lately." (A/N: Ye she's Canadian, and Damn proud of it!!! ^_~) Aunt Lucretia, or Lulu, looked at Tonks and then back to Erin, and her stern face softened in a large smile as she grabbed Erin and pulled her into a suffocating hug.
"Erin! Oh my goodness, I haven't seen you since you were born my dear." She released me and held me in front of her. "Look how you've grown, and I bet your magic is just as strong as your mother's was." The last line was said with such sorrow that Erin nearly missed when she said magic.
"Excuse me, Aunt Lucretia..."
"Please call me Lulu." she interrupted.
"Yes... Well Aunt Lulu, What did you mean when you said my 'Magic'?" Lulu's smile vanished and was replaced by a scowl.
"Erin dear why don't you go up to your room and unpack. It's upstairs, first door to the right, by the window, the door should be open. Tonks, may I speak yo you, about just how sheltered she has been." Said Lulu as she led Tonks into the sitting room.
Erin gathered her things and made for the stair case, trying to remember just what her aunt had just said. *Now was it upstairs and to the right, no there was something else.* She was so deep in thought that she didn't see the large silver blur under her feet. She heard a hiss and felt claws tearing at her leg and stepped back. A large silver cat stood before her, fur on end and tail puffed out, it glared at her then relaxed and began to lick at its tail. Erin dropped her things a knelt down beside it, stroking it apologetically. When Her aunt and Tonks appeared.
"What's going on here?" he aunt asked sternly, the cat mewed and Lulu's face changed once again, so a kind one. "I see you have met Hermes, he must be up to his old tricks again. Hermes, upstairs." the cat started to trot up the stairs "Just follow him dear, he'll lead you to your room" Erin followed obediently, and the cat lead her to a room by the hallway window. She walked in and gasped.
The room looked exactly like the one she had, had back home. The walls were a pale lavender, and the carpet was a rich purple. Everything was almost identical. Except for one, the cat, Hermes, lay across her bed, in all his glory. She sat beside him and while petting the animal admired his beauty , he was a silver long hair tabby, with flecks of gold in his fur. She looked as his eyes to see the exact startling shade of green as he own. He was bigger then an average cat, and had huge paws, with were very cute. Erin began to play with the cat, then looked over at the night table and saw a picture, that drew her attention from Hermes.
I t was a picture of her mother when she was Erin's age. She was very beautiful, she had pale skin, with greenish-blue eyes, and dark hair. Erin resembled her a lot, except for the eyes. Beside her was a young man, maybe a year older then her. He had dark hair as well, but the most noticable thing about him were his eyes. They were bright green, but she could see almost a tinge of red slowly making its way to the entire eye. She jumped back sitting on poor Hermes, and getting a slashing, as she stared at the picture. The picture had Begun to move.
"What the hell is going on?" she squeaked at the couple hugged, and the young man grinned slyly at her.
