It had been weeks into the New Year and Harry was in his last class, charms, helping professor Flitwick with doing family trees. "all right class, the charm for checking your ancestors is," Flitwick began to say the spell and show the wand motions over a blank parchment and soon writing appeared to show his family tree. "Now, if your tree is huge the paper should automatically enlarge. Good luck in finding your ancestors."
As the class did the charm it took awhile for each to get it right and to no one's surprise, Hermione was the first to get her spell right. Soon her parchment grew so large it overflowed the entire desk. "Professor, is this suppose to happen?" Hermione said, looking shocked to see so many unknown people on her tree.
"Hmm, yes you did it right," Flitwick answered, looking at the parchment. "But looks to me like you have some wizarding relatives. I know a few of those names."
Everyone looked interested in Hermione's discovery and started looking. "What this?" Flitwick, began, following a number of branches. "It looks like the Weasleys are distant cousins of yours. Yes, about fifteen generations removed."
"What, I am related to Hermione?" Ron asked, shocked.
"Yes, and also the Longbottoms which are another twenty generations removed," Flitwick said as Neville came over.
"Wow, the three of us are related!" Neville said, looking excited at this discovery.
"Hey wait, what is this?" Hermione said, trying to check a certain area. "Potters, we all are related to the Potters. Looks to me like about fifty generations back and also the Evans about sixty generations removed."
"Wow, we're distant cousins," Harry said then spotted a name he couldn't believe was on the tree.
At the far corner of the tree the three friends couldn't believe it. "Malfoy, we are related to the Malfoy's!" Ron said, looking at him.
"What, I can't be related to a mudblood," Draco said, coming up to look.
"Actually you can, if one of your ancestors was a squib," Flitwick said but another name caught his attention. "Hmm, interesting! The Dumbledores are also on this, and from what I see, almost all powerful wizards and witches are in this tree, interesting very interesting."
Flitwick made a copy of Hermione's tree and place it on the black board so the whole tree could be seen at the same time. "Yes, I recognize many of the families to be powerful families. From what I can tell, it dates back to a thousand years ago up to only one couple," Flitwick said as he followed the branches to the top Harry fainted. The names were Harry and Shawnie Evans.
Those who knew about Harry could only stare at the two names. "Hermione, Ron, Professor Flitwick, what is going on?" Neville asked since they weren't doing anything.
"Ah, class is dismissed except for Ron, Hermione and Harry," Flitwick said, his eyes had not left the parchment.
Once the class had left Hermione revived Harry. "Did I just see what I thought I just saw?" Harry said, still not believing it.
"I'm afraid so, my so many great grandfather," Hermione joked.
"He is also our distant cousin, Hermione," Ron said smiling. "I think I'd better get Dumbledore, he really needs to see this." Flitwick left for Dumbledore's office through the fire place.
In a few minutes Dumbledore was examining Hermione's family tree and was lost in thought. "So Professor, what do you think?" Hermione asked.
"Well, it is strange that all of us are Harry's so many great grand children, including Harry himself," Dumbledore said, still looking at the tree.
"But how is that possible Sir?" Harry asked.
"One theory is that Shawnie was supposed to have a child from someone else and you were a descendant from that person but when you went back in time you changed that and now you are our ancestor," Dumbledore said, turning to Harry.
After a while Harry spoke again. "Sir, is that a bad thing or a good thing? I did change history," Harry said, now worried.
"Well, look it at this way, your descendants were very powerful and a great deal of them fought for the light side except for a few who turned dark. The few wizards and witches I recognize helped turn the tide against dark times," Dumbledore said, placing a hand on Harry shoulder. "So you may have helped history more than you think," Dumbledore said, smiling at Harry, and Harry too smiled.
"I guess I did, didn't I?" Harry said, finally accepting it.
"So what are we going to do Professor?" Ron asked.
"Well, we can hold a family meeting and invite our new found families that we can trust and tell them," Dumbledore said.
"No, I only want Neville, the Weasleys, and of course us five to be there and also the Order members, since they should know," Harry stated as Dumbledore nodded.
"It will be held tomorrow at dinner in your room since you can enlarge it." Harry nodded and they made plans for it.
After the meeting with Dumbledore Harry, Ron and Hermione headed to Sirius and Remus' office to pick up Shawnee. "I just thought of something, would Shawnee be considered our so many great aunt?" Hermione asked as she smiled at the thought.
"Wow, a four year old who is our so many great aunt, it is almost as weird as a sixteen year old who is our so many great grandfather," Ron said, looking at Harry.
"Enough of calling me that! I'm starting to feel old," Harry said while sounding old, making the others laugh.
Once in Sirius and Remus' office Harry picked up Shawnee. "Hello sweetie, I hope your Uncles behaved themselves," Harry said as he hugged her.
"Hey, we always behave when there are no Slytherins around," Sirius said.
"Sirius is right, we were perfect angels around her," Remus said.
"Yeah sure," the teenagers said as Hermione came up to Shawnee.
"Hello Aunty Shawnee, how have you been?" Hermione said to a confused looking Shawnee.
"I'm not your aunty, I'm too young," Shawnee said as Ron came up next to her.
"Actually Aunty Shawnee, yes you are. We are direct descendants to your father," Ron said, grinning.
"What are you two talking about?" Sirius and Remus said and Harry explained what had happened in charms class.
Before dinner the next day Harry had enlarged his room and placed a table to seat everyone, including Sirius and Remus. Then he created his family tree which was exactly like Hermione's and set it up next to the tapestry. "There, now the story is almost complete. I just need to deal with our current problems then the whole story is over," Harry thought as he waited for his family, to arrive.
All in all dinner was great and as soon as Molly learned that Harry was now more family than they had first thought she was very happy.
