Warning: SLASH...yummy

Love, by Accident: Rayne

Harry sighed, laying his books out on the table after their first day back in classes. "Figures we would miss double Potions." He groaned, plopping down onto Draco's lap.

"I'll help you," Draco said, stroking Harry's hair.

"Mmm, yeah, I bet you will, you're bloody wonderful in that class."

The blonde smiled and pulled Harry closer to him, "It's good to be back," he said.

"Yeah..." There was a banging noise from the closet. "Um, Draco?"

"It's Blaise." Was all he said.

"Oh...kay?"

"I locked him in there, I thought we could use a little privacy."

Harry laughed, "You're such a good friend."

"Don't I know it."

There was a knock at the door before Snape burst in.

"Severus?" Draco asked, a bit confused by the state of the Potions Master.

"Potter, come with me, now." Snape said.

"What's going on?" Harry asked, standing up.

"We're going back to Grimmau-"

"Shh," Draco said, "Blaise is in the closet." He mouthed.

Snape nodded and dragged both boys into the bedroom. "Harry, we're going back to Grimmauld Place."

"Why? We just got back."

"I know, but there are bigger things happening than school right now."

Harry looked at Draco, then back at Snape. "I'm not going anywhere without Draco." He stated.

Severus nodded, "Very well, take this and Dumbledore will meet you there." He handed Harry a piece of old parchment and Draco instinctively grabbed onto his boyfriend's waist, and they were ported to No. 12.

The welcome crew was anything but cheery (Though Harry noticed Sirius and Lupin holding hands on the couch). Tonks stood glumly in the doorway and there was a woman neither Harry nor Draco recognized seated in a chair.

"Harry," Sirius stood much to Lupin's disappointment. "There's someone we would like you to meet."

The new girl, with hair strangely resembling Harry's and eyes glinting an unusual shade of purple stood and walked over so she was facing Harry. "Harry," she spoke softly, Harry noticed tears welling in her eyes. She cupped her hands over her mouth to stop herself from sobbing. "Merlin you look just like them!" Sirius put a hand on her shoulder to calm her, a single tear slipped down her cheek.

"Harry, this is Rayne...Potter. She's your father's sister, you're aunt." Sirius informed him.

"Forgive me," Rayne stuttered, "It's just," she looked back at Harry. "You're in every way James and Lily, I can just see them in you." She threw her arms around him then in a tight hug.

"Wait, if you're my aunt, then why haven't I heard anything about you before?" Harry asked after Rayne had led him over to the couch, she was gripping both his hands as if when she let go, he would never come back to her.

"Safety issues," she said, "I'm an Auror under the name Gekozen, your Grandmothers maiden name. But for the last sixteen years I've privately worked for Dumbledore. You could never know about me because, well frankly, I'm assumed dead."

Harry blinked several times.

"After the fall of Voldemort," Remus continued. "And the death of your parents Harry, everyone assumed you would be put in Rayne's care, not your mother's relatives. Well that was too obvious, Voldemort's remaining, free, followers could easily have found you."

"So we faked my death...but now, you see, I've been spying on the Dark Lord for some time, and we've obtained a lot of useful information-"

Lucius came down from upstairs then. "Well unfortunately the damn hippogriff is immune to telepathy..." his words trailed off when he realized the room was now buzzing with activity. "Okay, I guess I missed something here."

Rayne stood up. "Malfoy?" she whispered.

Lucius looked from Rayne, to Harry, then to Rayne again. "Rayne Potter died sixteen years ago." He said.

Sirius laughed bitterly. "That's what they said about Peter...and then me."

"He has a point," Rayne smiled. "Wait, Luc, what do you know about the war?"

Lucius went quiet.

"Luc?" she repeated.

He looked at Harry, "They know what I know," he spoke keeping eye contact with the younger Potter.

"Well it's begun," Rayne said, turning back to Harry. "Voldemort has the Dememtors on his side again, and all the criminals in Azkaban have been released. In three days time, we'll be at war, light against dark, an ancient prophecy fulfilled."

Harry gapped at Rayne, this woman he was supposed to be related to. He heard what she said, but all he could think about was her eyes, they were just so surreal.

"Harry," Draco put a hand on his shoulder, speaking for the first time since they left school. "Do you know what this means?"

"It means I have to kill Voldemort, or die trying. It means I have to be the savior of the Wizzarding world once again. It means I could die and lose you forever. It bloody well means my destiny is almost done."

No one said anything. Harry stood, looked around the room then left, heading up the stairs and out of sight. Draco followed a minute later.

"Poor kid," Rayne muttered. "He's sixteen, in love, and shouldn't have a care in the world. But that's not part of being a Potter."

"Nope," Sirius chimed in, "He gets all the hard jobs."

Rayne smiled at him, "I missed you Sear, and you as well Remmy."

Lupin smiled at the old school nicknames.

"I'm going to go talk to him," Rayne concluded. "Don't wait up."

"Harry?" Rayne called softly, opening the door to his bedroom, after, of course she'd stumbled in on Buckbeack, and Sirius' room.

Harry looked up from where he lay on the bed with Draco. Draco made to move but she shook her head.

"I don't mind. Tonks told me about you two. But Harry, I thought it would only be fair if I were to explain some things to you." She sat on the edge of the bed.

Harry looked up at her, "Can you start with my dad?" He asked.

She smiled weakly, almost forced. "James was two years younger than I, you remind me so much of him, just when I look at you," Rayne began. "We got along quite well growing up actually, then I got my Hogwarts letter. Mum and dad were so proud when I got sorted into Slytherin-"

"You were in Slytherin?" Harry interrupted, a bit shocked.

She nodded, "Me and James got along, that doesn't mean we were exactly alike. Anyway, in Slytherin house I met your father Draco. Yeah, Luc and I were best friends, along with Victor Zabini."

"Blaises' dad?" Draco asked.

"Mhmm, it was the three of us for as long as I can remember, we sort of thought we were better than all the other Slytherins. Anyway, then James came in my third year and was sorted into Gryffindor. Then he met Sirius and Lupin, Peter soon followed. A lot of the time I had to keep him from getting expelled or suspended, though I couldn't save him from the many detentions that followed." She smiled, going a bit dreamy.

"What about after school?" Draco asked. "My father's never mentioned anything about you before."

"After school I went to study to be an Auror, Lucius decided to work for the Ministry, we kept close to each other for the most part, living in the same parts of London, going to schools near one other. Everything was fine...and then Voldemort came into his life. He got Vic to join with them, but when he came to me, I just couldn't."

She looked down at her lap. "After that it was over between us," she continued. "There was no Slytherin trio anymore...then James and Lily died. Anyway, just call me Auntie Rayne." She smiled.

"So...I have to defeat Voldemort?" Harry asked after a time of silence.

"We're all here for you Harry." Rayne said standing up. "I'll leave you two alone now."
