Dudley sat watching his TV as Katie stared at the wall. She was getting quite bored, Harry was standing at the window looking out into the street.

"Another one." Harry said, Katie merely glanced at him. Another deatheater had been seen, they'd been spotting them now for hours. It was nearly completely dark and Harry's uncle and Aunt were in the kitchen.

"How much longer do you think until April comes to visit?" Katie asked casually. Harry turned to Katie.

"I have no idea." He sat down next to her and got out his wand. Dudley stiffened and Harry smirked slightly.

"Harry," Katie said noticing Dudley's discomfort, "Put that away until we need it."

"Why? It's fun watching my relatives squirm." Harry said. He did have a sadistic pleasure for seeing Dudley hurting himself or finding something he didn't like. After all the years of bullying and tormenting it was finally Harry's turn to get payback but he had more important things to do and Katie was with him and Harry was not about to curse his family in front of one of his former Quidditch captains and good friend.

"Fine." Harry said putting his wand away. Dudley visibly relaxed but Harry saw him checking out Katie. She absently played with a lock of hair and sighed.

"Why did you become an auror?" Katie asked Harry.

"Because I wanted to be something, also it seemed kind of cool." Harry said, "Why'd you become an auror?" Katie shrugged.

"I don't know. I guess I had all the right grades and after what happened to mum and dad I wanted to help out. April was really sweet, she took on almost all the people who applied to be aurors from my year." Katie said, "And I don't really need the money, I mean I live with George now." Harry looked at her with this new piece of information.

"You moved in with him? Does Mrs. Weasley know?" Harry asked. Katie went slightly red.

"Um, no she doesn't know. You're the first person who knows. I only moved in with him the other day." Katie said. She dropped the lock of hair she was playing with. "He's moved out of Fred's place because apparently he can't stand being with Angelina and Fred when they're together." Katie smiled. Harry rolled his eyes. "I heard that Lavender Brown was staying with you this Christmas, I thought you were going out with Jenny Marsden." Katie said cheekily. Dudley stared at Harry.

"Who would want to go out with you?" Dudley scoffed.

"Shut up Dud," Harry snapped, "Yeah, I am still going out with Jenny and Lavender was staying with me until her parents found a new house. It got destroyed by Voldemort remember?" Katie nodded.

"So the Patils are staying with her?" Katie asked. Harry nodded.

"Why didn't you carry on with your quidditch?" Harry asked.

"I really don't know." Katie said frowning. "After my parents died it didn't hold the same appeal it had before and I know I'm a good chaser but Quidditch is really competitive." Katie looked at Harry and he gave her an understanding smile.

"Yeah, I didn't think I would carry on Quidditch outside school." Harry said, Katie let out a short laugh for no reason. Dudley shifted his enormous bulk and Harry watched him. Dudley scowled and shook his fist at Harry. Harry sneered and made a slight face.

"Harry." Katie snapped.

"Sorry." Harry said. "You know he keeps checking you out." Dudley's attention immediately went to the TV. Katie smirked and leaned towards Harry.

"I did notice, that's why I started talking about George." Katie whispered. Harry nodded. Did girls think that boys should immediately lose interest as soon as they found out about competition? Harry never did and never felt he would understand girls. Katie let out another sigh and got up to go to the window.

"I'll go and check around the house." Harry said, getting up as well.

"Ok." Katie said, she moved the curtains slightly and peered outside. Harry left the living room and went to the kitchen.

"I don't know why you let him come back in. I thought we were rid of him and all his funny stuff when he left in the summer." Vernon growled. Harry rolled his eyes.

"Don't you remember the letter when we took him in. As long as we have him we'll always be involved in this freaky business." Petunia said. Harry went in and gave them a pleasant smile.

"Just checking on you." Harry said, "Never thought I'd say that did you?" There was a crack from upstairs and Harry immediately got out his wand and turned towards the door.

"What's going on?" Vernon asked, his face growing redder by the minute

"Sh!" Harry said waving a hand. He went to the door and saw Katie with her wand out at the bottom of the stairs.

"Someone is up there." Katie said. Harry nodded and joined her,

"I'll go up." Harry said.

"Boy, what is going on!" Vernon asked.

"Shut up!" Harry snapped. He looked at Katie and she nodded and left to silence his uncle. Harry walked up the stairs and onto the landing. April stood there looking like she was counting in her head.

"April?" Harry said uncertainly. April looked at him and smiled.

"About time. I have to say you're doing very well. How are your family?"

"Katie's gone to silence Uncle Vernon."

"Yes, he was a bit loud." April said, "So, anything?" She asked as the two began to walk down stairs.

"Quite a few deatheaters but no one's noticed the house yet." Harry said, "But other then that everything's been really quiet. A bit too quiet if you ask me."

"So he knows roughly where you live" April said with a frown. "I don't think the spell that bind you to your family will last much longer to be honest. As you know nothing is certain anymore, with Dumbledore gone and Voldemort in charge of the school. We've been following people all day but every time we try and capture someone they just get broken out of Azkaban. The guards there are very ferocious but something keeps getting past them-" A pained scream cut April off.

"Katie." Harry said jumping down the remaining few steps. He turned sharply around the stairs and went into the kitchen. Katie lay on the floor of the kitchen. Her hand was outstretched slightly and her wand was a little way off. Harry looked up to see Bellatrix grinning at him.

"We meet again." Bellatrix said. "Where's Emma Malfoy, Potter?" Harry held his wand tightly.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because she is as good as dead." Bellatrix said, "No one turns against the Dark Lord once they've been taken under his wing. She's betrayed us all."

"How would you know?" Harry asked.

"Because she fought against us in the school, now tell me where Emma Malfoy is." Bellatrix ordered.

"Her name is Emma Potter!" Harry said forcefully, "and you're not going to hurt her. Stupefy!" The red light shot out of Harry's wand and crashed into a jar a few inches from Bellatrix Lestrange's head. She didn't flinch but raised her wand as April walked into the room. Bellatrix saw April then lowered her wand.

"You'll share the same fate as your parents Potter." She snarled before disapparating.

"They found the house." April said. "Well your family is safe. Katie managed to get them into the living room."

"Katie!" Harry shouted. He turned and fell to his knees. "Katie!" He shook her gently. She let out a soft moan and Harry let out a relieved sigh.

"Harry, She'll be alright, I'll get her to St. Mungos. You stay here with your family." April said picking up Katie's wand and gently picking her up. Harry nodded gravely and stepped aside.

Emma sat on her bed flicking through a book that she'd found on April's bookshelves. She chewed a piece of carrot and read a page about some thing about Harry. Now that she'd accepted that she was Harry's sister she was intensely curious as to what the good side's thoughts on Harry were. She'd only ever heard people curse Harry to hell and worse. She finished her carrot and drank some butterbeer.

Harry Potter is considered to be one of the greatest wizards in history, with the hopes of the entire wizarding world resting on him. Many people have argued over whether Harry Potter will be able to defeat the Dark Lord but many feel that with the help of the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore at his side he will be able to defeat the Dark Lord.

Emma threw the book at the end of her bed. That was obviously an old version of the book. Emma leaned back and listened to the music that filtered into the room. She knew the tune and started humming along with it. There was a sudden burst of sparks and Emma let out a cry of surprise. She looked at the source of the sparks to see an elegant looking phoenix with red and gold feathers holding a letter in it's beak. Emma watched it hesitantly and reached out for it. The phoenix gave her the letter and Emma looked at the name of the person it was addressed to. The Potter Children. Emma turned it over in her hands and saw a seal on it with an elegant and elaborate looking D on it. Curiously she opened it and pulled out the letter. The letter was written with light blue in and the writing was small and slanted but very neat.

Dear Harry or Emma (Whom ever may receive this letter first)

If you are reading this letter then I am dead. I have been aware for a long while that my time has been nearing an end and I hope that I have died an honourable death. I do not know if you two have met each other or whether you are even friends but I hope that one day you will find each other and become the close siblings you should have been.

The bird that has delivered this letter now belongs to whoever is reading this letter. Should this sibling die then he will belong to the other. This bird is my Phoenix Fawkes though I call him mine he does not belong to me. He belongs to the line of Gryffindor and he has finally decided to return to his rightful owners. He will have picked the sibling that he may feel needs him most, the one he feels may do more good with him. Fawkes will remain in your families until there are no more Potters or you line has died out. He is very loyal and devoted. Please take the greatest of care of him and he will stay your friend forever.

I have a few more things that I would like to say though I am afraid I cannot put it into this letter. To Emma, I hope that you one day find your true self, to Harry, remember all that I have ever taught you and you will succeed.

The best of luck

Albus Dumbledore

Emma looked at the beautiful red and gold phoenix and smiled. That bird was hers, it was so beautiful. She never thought she'd own something so amazing. Emma put the letter down, making a mental note to tell her brother about it later. She held her arm out to stroke the bird's head but Fawkes took flight and landed on Emma's outstretched arm. Emma stroked Fawkes' head with her free hand and smiled. Fawkes let out a few melodious notes and Emma opened her mouth to speak.

"I guess the good really do forgive everyone don't they?" Emma asked sombrely Fawkes as she remembered when she had said she wanted to kill Dumbledore. Fawkes let out a few more notes and flew to Emma's shoulder. She felt the Malfoy influence washing out of her with every note that Fawkes let out. It was very refreshing, to feel happiness, kindness and love. Not that the Malfoys were all that bad. Narcissa had always been very nice to Emma and Draco was still Emma's brother. He had always watched out for her until Lucius announced that Draco would not be getting the Malfoy fortune. Emma promised herself that she'd resolve whatever issues lay between her and Draco. She wanted to be on good terms with him again. Her real brother and her adopted brother, could they ever be friends? Emma hoped so. She took a sip of Butterbeer at her new goal and looked at Fawkes.

"This year is going to be good I think." Emma said, "You know, relationship wise." Fawkes let out a small song. Emma let the song flow through her and closed her eyes.
