When Anastasia woke the next morning it took her awhile to remember the events of the preceding day. She looked around the lavishly decorated room and rolled her eyes. It reminded her of many of the rooms in Brian and Cecile's house. She sat up and looked around the room; she was astounded to see her trunk and other personal belongings sitting in the corner of the room. Following her usual morning routine Anastasia got up, washed her face, and put on her bathrobe.

Anastasia stumbled down the stairs. She found Sirius and Remus sitting in the kitchen, one reading the paper and the other finishing off a late breakfast.

"Morning." Anastasia mumbled as she reached for the coffee.

"Not much of a morning person are we Blondie?" Sirius commented smiling at his sister.

"As I remember Sirius, you were quite the grumpy one in the mornings also. Come to think of it you still are." Remus joked.

"Sleep well?" Sirius asked as Anastasia sat down at the kitchen table.

"Yup, like a baby." She replied stifling a yawn.

"Hey, I wanted to ask you something?" Sirius asked.

"Sure, go ahead."

"Well, I don't know if you know this, but Harry is my Godson. His dad, Remus, and I were best friends at school. Anyways, I was wondering if it would be alright with you if I had him, Ron, and Hermione over for the last two days of summer break. Ironically Harry and his friends had a sneaking suspicion that we were related."

"Well, sure that's fine I suppose." Anastasia replied getting up from the table, "I'm going to go wash up, let me know when you think they'll get here."

After Anastasia had left Remus looked at Sirius and shook his head.

"What!" Sirius asked indignantly.

"Sirius, you're so unobservant, she's been her less than twenty-four hours and you're having more people. Plus, how exactly are you planning on telling Harry, your not just going to let him connect the facts when he gets here are you? Remus questioned.

Sirius ran his fingers through his shaggy black hair and sighed. He had no idea how he was going to tell his Godson about Anastasia. He looked at Remus and shrugged.

"Alright Sirius, here's what we'll do." Remus began. "Since you very well can't go see Harry and tell him and it's not proper for him to come here and just find out; I'll go talk to him and bring him, Ron, and Hermione back with me. That will give you and Anastasia some time to talk and such, how does that sound."

"Well, I guess that's the best I, we I mean, can do." Sirius replied.

"I guess I'll get going then." Remus said standing up. "Don't worry Sirius, it'll be fine. She's your sister, remember." And with a tiny 'pop' he was gone.

As she pulled on her bathrobe and put her hair in a towel Anastasia heard a knock at her door.

"Hey there." She smiled opening the door.

"I, umm, just wanted to let you know Remus went to go talk to Harry, they should be back in an hour or so. I'll be downstairs." He said looking slightly flustered.

"Okay, just let me get dresses." Anastasia said closing the door behind him.

She opened her trunk and began to sort through he clothes, trying to find the appropriate thing to wear. To her own surprise, she caught herself thinking about Harry, she couldn't help but smile at the fact that she was going to see him today. Anastasia finally decided on a white mini skirt with a blue halter and sandals. Sensing the humidity that had already begun to build in the air, she pulled her hair back.

"What are you wearing?" Sirius demanded as Anastasia entered the kitchen.

"I think they're called clothes last time I checked." Anastasia smiled.

"You know exactly what I mean!" Sirius shot back. Surprised by the twinge of protection he suddenly felt toward his little sister.

"Sirius, come on, they're nothing to get all worked up over." Anastasia replied giving her brother a hug and smiling.

"Anastasia, you can't, I mean it's not . . ." Sirius struggled. "I think you know exactly what I mean."

Anastasia simply smiled at her brother and winked. "Sirius, there is nothing to worry about my boyfriend is like 3,000 miles away in America."

"Boyfriend, what do you mean boyfriend."

"Bret, my boyfriend; he graduated from school last year. He's working for our Magical Ministry in the law enforcement area." Anastasia smiled.

"He graduated last year! That makes him what 17?"

"Actually he turned 18 last week."

"Brian and Cecile approved of this?"

"Of course they did! His parents are some of the most influential people in America."

"Anastasia, there is no way you can carry on a long term relationship, it never works."

"Oh Sirius, trust me. Tell you what, I'll send him and owl and see if he wants to pop in for awhile."

Sirius opened his mouth in an obvious attempt to protest this. However, as it usually happened, Sirius was silenced by the sound of someone at the door.

Sirius rose from the table to answer the door, but Anastasia remained at the table sipping her tea. She strained her ears to hear the voices coming from the entrance way.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, how are you doing?" He brother's voice filled her ears.

"Good, Sirius. Surprised to see Professor Lupin this morning though, he didn't tell us a damn thing though." Harry said indignantly.

"Harry, Ron, Hermione, there's really no to many ways to tell you what I am going to tell you." Sirius began; Anastasia sensed the stress in her brother's voice. "Anastasia, your new school mate, well she's related to me. She's actually my sister."

Anastasia would have traded her new Coach bag to see the looks that must have appeared on the trio's faces. She didn't have to wait long to see them though. It little more than a few seconds the trio along with Sirius and Remus had appeared in the kitchen.
