Chapter 1

It had been a long, dull three weeks at number four privet drive. The sun was just setting as Harry Potter lay on his back on the front lawn. Harry looked back on these last three week's he'd been here; he smiled to himself. He was getting so paranoid that Voldermort was going to walk up their drive way he was cursing ready to curse everything that moved during the night. He laughed at himself quietly; he was turning out to be just like Mad-Eye Moody.

"POTTER!" a voice yelled angrily from inside the house.

Harry sadly stood up and began to walk inside; he knew the peace of being alone wouldn't last long.

"Yes uncle Vernon?" Harry said miserably as he stood before his uncle.

"Potter what is THIS?!" Vernon Dursley yelled as he held up a small envelope.

"Well from the looks of it being small and inside an envelope I'd say it's a letter."

"Don't be a smart mouth with me boy! It came with... with THAT!" he bellowed as he pointed to a very tiny little owl buzzing around the fireplace.

Harry looked at the tiny owl and then the letter, Harry could barley make out the writing on the back. But even if he couldn't see it very well, he knew who the letter was from and who the owl belonged to.

Ten minutes later Harry ran up to his small messy bedroom with the letter clutched in his hands. He ran inside his room and shut the door as fast as he could; then tore the letter open with both hands. Harry read the letter once, and then again to make sure he wasn't dreaming:

Dear Harry,
I hope Pig gets this letter to you; he's been getting lazy and dropping letters into bushes and rivers lately. Anyway, guess what?! My mum and dad talked to Dumbledore yesterday (Fred and George have made some extra extendable ears for us) and Dumbledore says that's its time for us to come and get you! We'll be coming a.s.a.p Harry. Make sure you've got your things packed... that way you won't be as late as last year! Can't wait to see you again mate!

-Ron P.S you better come soon; Hermione still won't give up this spew thing!

Harry began packing immediately, he threw everything into his old suit case; everything except his precious firebolt. He hid that in his closet.
Every night Harry would try and stay awake as late as possible, waiting for his friends to come and get him. But sadly after three days of nothing, Harry had given up on waiting. On the fifth night Harry sadly went to sleep in his room. He stared at his suit case as the voices of Remus Lupin, Mr. Weasly and Mad-Eye Moody lulled him to sleep. Just as Harry was about to fall asleep he realized that the voices were coming from downstairs. Harry sat bolt upright as the voices quietly became a little louder. He soon saw his doorknob turn and Remus Lupin's face appeared in the doorway.

Hours later Harry was back inside number 12 Grimhald Place. Ron and especially Hermione greeted Harry with hugs. Then they bombarded him with questions about everything that had been going on. Soon Ron's mother told them to go upstairs and get ready to eat, breakfast would be served soon. As soon as Harry and Ron got up the third set of stairs Ron stopped Harry and started to tell him about someone new in the order.

"You won't believe it Harry she is SO cool! She knows all about that dark arts and about You Know Who's supporters and everything. It's amazing! And she knows all about Muggle defense too." Ron bragged.

"Sounds really neat Ron" Harry replied, sounding like he was losing interest.

"And...oh my god! You won't believe who she looks like..."

But Ron was cut off by someone barging into the large hall/dining room. It was a girl, she looked like she was at least 25, and she looked oddly familiar. She walked in look very angry about something.

"SNAPE!! WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!" she hollered the second she walked in.

Snape walked in looking very smug with himself. He walked right up to her and said:

"Hello Liz... something wrong?" he said smugly.

"You damn well know what's wrong!! How DARE you talk to V---- I mean him without consulting me!! How dare you!!" Liz replied furiously.

Snape looked up and down Liz with a smug, happy look on his face. He looked up and down her a second time... stopping at her legs and breasts and then one last time at her face. As soon as his eyes met hers Liz lifted her hand and slapped him across the face hard.

"you haven't looked at me like that since back in school." She said.

Liz was about to walk away when she turned back to him.

"How DARE you even think of looking at me like that! Especially after what you did to my brother!"

"What about what he did to me!?"

"I couldn't give a damn what he did to you! Remember I was a Marauder too!"

"Yea I do remember I also remember when your brother almost shot..."

Snape stopped and looked up at where Harry, Ron and Hermione were standing. He then looked back at Liz.

"Another time Liz... I have to go now."

"Another time..." she said and nodded as he left.

The next day Liz met Harry while they were cleaning one of the old rooms. Ron and Hermione were helping set up lunch. Actually Harry was happy that he had time to talk to Liz without being interrupted. They were taking a short break from all the dusting. Liz collapsed on a chair wiping her forehead.

"This is more exhausting then I thought it would be!" she said.

"Yea... this place is really big" Harry replied nicely.

"So... you went to school with Snape... did you know my dad?" Harry asked carefully.

"Yea I knew your dad... he was really sweet, I giant trouble maker though... I think that's what made me go out with him once." Liz said matter-of-factly.

"You went out with my dad?!" Harry said stunned.

"Yea it was fun... but we only went out a couple of times though. It was a very short term thing." She said simply.

"Well if you went out with my dad... you must have known Professor Lupin, and Peter..." Harry lead on.

"Yea I knew them... Peter was the little follower... I hate it for not knowing he was a lying snake! I'll never forgive myself for not seeing what he was going to do..."

"Then you also must have known... Sirius...?" Harry asked sadly.

"Knew him?!?!" Liz said laughing.

"I didn't just know him... he was my brother!!!"
