I just read some reviews and they asked some questions I think should be answered. Now I made Hermione average. She isn't weak just average. Hermione is the smartest witch at Hogwarts but all Hermione really has is brains. She knows all these things but she isn't powerful enough to do the more complex ones. Say an average witch or wizard can transfigure a chair into a dog for an hour. If Hermione did it her dog would last an hour while Harry's dog would last 3 or 4 hours. I did this because people think if your smart your strong for wizards and witches. Just because you know a lot of spells and curses doesn't mean you can cast them all. You understand right?

Second I made Ron as strong as a warlock because well let me put it this way. Ron is usually portrayed as a average brain, slow, averaged power jealous git. I decided to let Ron shine, to live up to his family. Remember in the first book he says "You could say I've got a lot to look up to. Bill and Charlie already left....... Everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, it's no big deal, because they did it first." Well no one in Ron's family has ever been a warlock. So this way Ron is paving his own path in the Weasly family name. Besides Ron is funny, with his stupid comments and besides his jealousy, is a cool character.

Chapter 15 Lost Relatives

Harry awoke on Saturday morning to Ron's constant babbling about the tryouts. He just wouldn't shut up! Harry groaned and pulled his pillow over his head. "Come on Harry try-outs are in an hour!" he could hear Ron say.

Harry grudgingly got out of bed and stumbled into the shower. When he finished washing he put on some clothes and went to breakfast. Feeling so tired Harry fell asleep in his porridge. "Get up Harry!" Ron shouted in his ear. The few people who were up looked at the-boy-who-lived. His face was covered in porridge. And it was dripping out of his hair.

"Scourgify!" Hermione said pointing her wand at Harry. Instantly his face was cleaned. Harry grinned at Hermione

"Forget breakfast Harry let's go to the pitch. Can you get Ginny and Katie please?" Harry nodded and got the two pretty Gryffindors.

When the three members of the team walked out onto the field they saw basically the whole house.

"Alright everyone!" Ron said. "Now if you wanna try out for the open chaser position go to Katie and Ginny. All people who want to try out for Beater come to me and all those who want to be reserve Seeker go to Harry!" soon the people trying out split up. About 10 came to him. He guessed around 30 went to Ron and around 15 to Katie and Ginny.

"Alright. You guys want to be reserve seeker?" he asked them as he surveyed them. One of the students was a 7th year. "Uh...guy in 7th year I think you should leave. No offense or anything but I want a reserve Seeker who will still be here when I leave." The 7th year left reluctantly leaving Harry with three 2nd years, a 3rd year and two 4th years. "Alright you guys. Hope on your brooms. I want you guys to take a lap around here for warm up. Then I want you to race back and forth between the goal post twice. You got that?" they nodded. "Alright go!"

The hopeful did their warm up lap. "Alright" Harry looked at his list. "Euan Abercrombie your up" Harry said. A small 2nd year stepped up. He hoped on his broom and raced back and forth between the post.

"Geoffrey Hooper" Harry said as a 4th year and the boy who tried out for keeper last year stepped up. (Doesn't say how old in OotP)

Soon Harry had the results for all the people trying out for seeker. He eliminated 4 of the slowest flyers out of 9. Harry pulled out a bag of golf balls and grinned. "This is how I was tested when I became Seeker. I'll throw them in you try to catch them before they hit the ground got it?" they all nodded.

After half an hour Harry's arm was killing him. He threw 20 golf balls for each one of the Seeker wannabe. Soon Harry eliminated two more. He was left with a 2nd year girl, Kristen Riley, Dennis Creevey, and Euan Abercrombie.

Several more test later and Harry had made his decision. "I'd like to thank you all for trying out. However only one of you can make it on the team. I would like to welcome Kristen Riley as the reserve Seeker and soon to be permanent Seeker in two years." People around cheered and the two "not winners" trudge into the locker room. Kristen had brown hair with brown eyes and a lot of freckles. Harry led Kristen over to where Ron was.

"Hey mate!" Ron said. "So you got your reserve then?" Harry nodded.

"She was the fastest one there. Though Euan Abercrombie did better with catching the golf balls, she has faster reflexes and better agility." Harry told him. Ron nodded his head.

"Can you help me with this?" Ron asked. "My arm is sore from all the hitting and I got a couple of bruises that are killing me."

"Sure what do I got to do?" Harry asked.

"Just fly around and let them shoot bludgers at you." Harry hopped on his broom. Just as he reached about level with the goal post he had to dive to miss a bludger. The "Beater" sent another bludger at him and he did a barrel roll to avoid it. After more dives, loops, flips and barrel rolls Ron called a stop and Harry, happily, returned to the ground.

"Alright. I have made my decision. Congrats Neville and Sean!" Everyone cheered for the two new Beaters. Neville was blushing and Sean was jumping in the air excitedly. Sean Monroe is a 3rd year and we all know who Neville is.

Katie and Ginny came walking over with two girls. One was a fellow 7th year of Katie named Erin Lavery. The other was a 3rd year named Samara Jordan. "Well" Katie began, "Erin did better but she is leaving next year so she will only be playing this year and Samara will be the reserve." Ron nodded his head. Erin was pretty with black hair and grey eyes. Samara was Lee cousin. She too had dark skin and black hair.

They all walked to the locker rooms. After a quick shower and changing his clothes Harry walked back up to the castle. The whole Gryffindor house walked into the Great Hall at the same time. When they sat down Professor Dumbledore stood up. "Harry Potter after you finish lunch meet me in my office" he sat down again. Harry looked at him curiously.

When he finished his lunch Harry walked to the all familiar stone gargoyle. Remembering the password from last time harry said "Cauldron Cakes" and ascended up the steps.

"Come in Harry" Dumbledore's voice said.

"You wanted to see me sir?" Harry asked.

"Yes Harry. Yesterday I was brought news that a group of Death Eaters was going to attempt an assassination on Amelia Bones" Harry looked at him shocked. "So I sent several Order members to guard her. That night the Death Eaters came but luckily all were captured with no casualties on either side. We brought all Death Eaters too the Ministry where we then proceeded to take off their mask. Imagine everyones surprise when they saw Peter Pettigrew sitting right in front of them"

"You mean it?" Harry asked.

"Yes Harry. Peter Pettigrew has been given a trial under the influence of Veritaserum. He has confessed to all of his crimes"

Harry let out a whoop. "When can I see Sirius?" he asked.

"You can go now and you have been excused from classes on Monday as well. Just come here when you finish packing and you can floo there." Dumbledore told him. Harry ran down to the Great Hall. Thankfully lunch was still going on.

"Hermione, Ron! It finally happened! I'm going to be going to see Sirius until Monday!" Hermione and Ron looked shock that he just told the whole school he knew where Sirius Black, Azkaban escapee was. "Sirius is free you guys! They caught Pettigrew!" Hermione squealed and Ron let out a whoop of joy.

"This is great when are you going to see him?" Ron questioned.

"I'm leaving now until Monday night." Harry told them.

"But what about classes?" Hermione asked

"Well I don't have Potions so that is a free Double period and I'm ahead in Dueling in DADA so it doesn't matter as much" Harry explained.

The Gryffindor Trio, Golden Trio, Golden Gryffindors, Infamous Trio, what ever you wanted to call them walked out of the Great Hall talking happily. When they reached the Common Room Dobby approached Harry. "Master Harry sirs we have finished the room!"

"You guys finally did it?" Dobby nodded excitedly. "Alright Dobby! Thank the other house elves for me alright?" Dobby nodded again and left.

"What did they finish Harry?" Ron asked curiously.

"You'll see" Harry said. Instead of checking out the room Harry went upstairs and packed. After he finished packing Harry bid farewell to Hermione, Ron and the other Gryffindors.

"Ready Harry" Dumbledore asked when Harry stepped into his office. He nodded his head and grabbed some floo powder out of the pot offered.

Harry threw the powder in the fireplace and shouted "Grimmauld Place!" He tripped over the bag carrying his clothes but a pair of arms stopped him. He looked up into the grinning face of his godfather.

"Padfoot!" Harry shouted happily as he gave him a big hug.

"You know you need a name! Become an honorary Marauder! Wreak havoc on Hogwarts!" Sirius said.

"What about..." Harry trailed off thinking. Which animagus form should he take his nickname from. "Uh...What about Grif?" he asked.

"Grif" Sirius questioned.

"Yeah you know after my griffin form." Harry explained.

"Well it isn't the best but it will have to do" Harry nodded in agreement.

"So what should we do?" Sirius asked.

"I say tomorrow we explore the neighborhood. I mean I know I don't know anything around here"

"Neither do I" Sirius said

"Then tomorrow we'll explore. Now we'll just talk about our adventures at Hogwarts. You wanna start?" Harry asked.

"Sure. I remember....." and so Sirius and Harry spent the whole night sharing stories. Sirius were generally about the pranks they pulled which had them both cracking up and Harry filled Sirius in on what he missed in Harry's first 2 years at Hogwarts.

When they stepped out of the house the next day Harry was double checking to make sure Sirius had no magical pranks.

"Come on Harry. Quit being a worry wart." Sirius whined.

"I'm not being a worry wart. I'm looking out for the well being of these muggles!" Harry exclaimed.

Soon they were on their way. They walked a couple of blocks where they finally came upon a park.

"Yes!" Sirius shouted. "Something other then houses!" Sirius ran into the park and started running and jumping around.

"Oi! Padfoot don't make me hurt you!" Harry yelled as he ran and tackled Sirius. The two started wrestling on the ground, unaware of the hill they were about to roll down. Soon they were tumbling down and landed right in the pond that lay at the end of the hill.

The people who were watching the two wrestle laughed at their misfortunes. Sirius started to trudge up to the shore of the pond but Harry jumped on him from behind making them crash into the water again.

Another wrestling match broke out. "Watch out Padfoot!" Harry said. "Don't want you to break a hip"

"Hey I'm not that old!" Sirius said mock offended as he picked Harry up and threw him farther into the water.

Harry got up spluttering. He took off his glasses, wiped them off and shook his head. While doing so saw something peculiar. Standing at the bank of the pond feeding ducks with a group of blonde hair kids was a woman with black hair. "Padfoot!" Harry shouted.

"What?" Sirius shouted back. Harry pointed at the woman. Sirius looked at her and gasped.

They both ran to the shore. They got out and shook their bodies dry off some. Then they sprinted to the lady. When they reached her they both stared at her in shock. She had curly black hair and hazel eyes. With a slightly cleft shin, small lips and a light tan.

"May I help you two?" she asked bewildered at their behaviour.

"M-Michelle?" Sirius asked.

"I'm sorry. My name is Melissa" the woman said.

"Padfoot she looks just like my aunt in the pictures Remus showed me!" Harry said. "Sorry to bother you ma'am but by any chance does the name Potter mean anything to you?"

"Not that I know of why?" the woman questioned.

"Sirius" Harry whispered. "Can you get a picture of her and do a spell to make it a muggle picture?" Harry asked. Sirius nodded his head and ran out of the park.

Harry looked at the kids she was with. One was a little girl with blond pig tails and brown eyes. The other was a bot around 11 with curly blond hair and brown eyes. The last was actually a teenager around his age with shoulder length blond hair and brown eyes. She was looking at Harry appreciatively and Harry just raised an eyebrow at her. The girl blushed and looked away.

About a minute passed until a panting Sirius returned. "Here look!" he pointed to the picture he had. It was the same one Remus showed Harry except the picture wasn't moving.

"She looks just like me!" the woman exclaimed.

"Could it possibly be you?" Harry asked.

"It couldn't be" the woman said.

"It couldn't?" Harry asked rejected.

"Well.....All I remember is waked up on a boat to America. I had no clue about my past. I wondered around the town the ship docked in for hours. I got hit by a car and when they realized I had no family the nurse their offered to rake me in."

"Sirius could it be the Memory Charm?" Harry asked.

"I have no clue. The only way to find out is to do the counter charm though it is hard." Sirius explained.

"Ma'am would it be possible if we could come over to your house?" Sirius asked her nicely.

"Well it isn't my house. It's my step sisters house. She moved here a couple of months ago and I decided to visit. Oh these our her children. This is Madeline" she pointed to the young girl. "Jonathan" she pointed to the young boy "and Cindy" she pointed to the teenager.

"Would we still be allowed over?" Harry asked.

"I guess so" She led them down a couple of streets where they came upon a nice light blue house.

"Judy we have company!" Melissa shouted as she walked into the house.

"Sirius do you think it wise to expose ourselves?" Harry asked.

"Won't matter. If we're wrong then we can always Memory Charm them." Harry nodded.

"Well helloe there!" a plump blond haired woman said. "My name is Judy Fawker"

"I'm Harry Potter and this is Sirius Black" Harry introduced.

"What brings you here?" she asked.

"Oh mom they think Aunt Melissa might actually be this boys Aunt who disappeared a while ago" Cindy said excitedly.

"Really?" she asked.

Harry nodded. "Now in order to prove this where going to have to let you in on a little secret. We're wizards!" Harry said brightly.

The others all laughed, except Melissa. "Why do I have a feeling you're not lying?" she asked.

"Because we aren't" Sirius said. He pulled out his wand and transfigured the coffee table into a pig. The others looked at him in complete shock. He transferred the pig back. "See we weren't lying. Now we believe a Memory Charm was placed on you" here he pointed to Melissa. "We were wondering if we could try to reverse it" Melissa nodded, still in shock. "Dorso di Memoria" Sirius said with a look of pure concentration on his face. A pale blue light hit Melissa, who fainted.

The muggles in the room screamed and rushed to her side. "You killed her!" Judy shouted..

"She'll wake up soon" After a minute Melissa opened her eyes. She sat up groggily and looked around the room. When she saw Sirius she jumped up.

"Sirius!" she shouted as she pulled him into a hug. "Oh Sirius to long have I had that charm on me!" she exclaimed. "Tell me where is James?" she asked.

Sirius went quiet and a look of sorrow came on his face. "He died" Harry said. Michelle/Melissa looked at Harry.

"You look just like him!" she exclaimed.

Harry nodded and told her about how he became famous.

"So Voldemort is gone?" she asked tears in her face.

"No he's back" Harry said.

The woman nodded her understanding. "Oh my Remus!" she said. "Where is he?"

"He is at Hogwarts teaching." Harry said.

"Nothing to worry about though. He never moved on. Always hoping you would return to him." Sirius said sadly.

"Well we're going back to Hogwarts on Monday." Harry said. "How bout you sort everything out here at home and then we come here and bring you with us."

"I'd love it" Harry's aunt said.

Harry and Sirius gave her one last hug and departed home.

I know I said there would be 4 major parts but I shortened it to 3. The other one will be in next chapter. This one is long.
