Harry watched anxiously as April took Katie to St. Mungos after her failed attempts to revive her. As soon as she left Harry locked the back door with a spell then started for the front door.
"What is happening boy!" Vernon bellowed. Harry locked the front door, "What are you doing?" He asked. Harry looked at Vernon and ignored him and went straight into the living room.
"I'm asking you a question." Vernon said.
"And if you want it answered call me by my proper name. I'm not a boy anymore and I'm more powerful then you'll ever be, richer and more successful as well." Harry said.
"What makes you think that!" Vernon growled. Harry tightened his grip on his wand. He saw Dudley slipping his hands behind his back and Petunia was looking frantically from Harry to Vernon.
"Vernon, don't push him, you don't know what kind of things his people are capable of." Petunia said in an unnaturally high voice.
"She's right, uncle Vernon." Harry said. He didn't even know why he still called him uncle.
"You will answer the questions I have for you boy and then get the hell out of this house." Vernon said. Harry turned around and peeked out of the curtains. A few deatheaters strolled by but Harry thought he could see them glance at number four occasionally. Vernon was about to shout again when Harry turned and pointed his wand at Vernon.
"Silencio" He said. Vernon was rendered silent. Petunia squealed slightly and Dudley went a few shades paler. "Will you just shut up for once in your life? You're always going on about how I would amount to nothing, how I'd end up like my parents and that I didn't belong. You were wrong, I have amounted to something. Something my parents would be proud of so just back off and do as I say because if you don't you'll be dead in a few blinks of an eye. I'm one of the only ones who can protect you and if you want me out of the house then I'm afraid I can't do that because as much as it pains me to admit it I do care about you and your family simply because my mother was related to her." Harry pointed his wand at Petunia, who made her self slightly smaller, "If you hate me that much then why did you take me in? You must have some feeling and I know you don't want to die so if I take this spell off you you'll do as I say and as April says otherwise I'll have more deaths on my hand. Something I don't particularly want." Harry said, his voice getting softer as he finished. He lifted the silencing spell and turned to the window again.
"What do you mean more deaths?" Vernon asked, he sounded slightly calmer. Deaths? Harry could think of people who had died in his lifetime for the fight against Voldemort. He didn't answer the question, instead he went to the door of the living room and checked the hallway.
"April should be here soon again." Harry told them.
"Bo-Harry" Vernon said stiffly. Harry turned to look at his uncle. "What do you mean by more deaths?" Harry looked at him considering whether he should tell Vernon.
"Many of my friends have died while fighting for the same cause that only I can destroy." Harry said, "I don't want to add my only family to the number that already contains my parents and grandparents." Harry said. There was crack behind Harry. He whipped round with his wand in his hand.
"Hi." Said Pavarti. "April said you might need me here with you." Harry lowered his wand.
"Who's this?" Vernon demanded.
"This is Pavarti, my friend." Harry said. "You really shouldn't be here." He said to Pavarti.
"Nonsense, I fought against the deatheaters at school with you didn't I? Oh, and Cho might be coming as well." Pavarti told Harry. Harry frowned.
"Cho is coming?" Harry asked scowling. Pavarti opened her mouth in mock hurt.
"So you don't mind Cho coming but you don't want me here. Charming way to treat a fellow Gryffindor!" Pavarti said pretending to be offended. Harry gave her an unamused look. "Jeez, who died!"
"Katie just got hurt and I've been in a bad mood for a while." Harry said. "I've had to spend all Christmas here instead of with my girlfriend."
"I'll go and get Jenny if you want." Pavarti said.
"I'm not having anymore freaks in this house." Vernon said. Pavarti turned to Vernon.
"I am not a freak!" Pavarti said. Harry smirked, "I am a witch and a good one at that!"
"To me you're all the same, just as worthless as my nephew and sister-in-law" Vernon said. Pavarti's mouth hung open in shock at this comment. Harry grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the way and made sure she didn't draw out her wand as Vernon sat in a chair next to the TV. He faced Petunia who was shaking in fear and Dudley was looking a bit like a giant fat mouse that was hiding in fear.
"He is so rude!" Pavarti said. "You can't be related to him can you?"
"I'm related to her." Harry said nodding to Petunia, "We have to protect them."
"Why?" Pavarti scoffed, "I think they're better off dead."
"That's only my uncle." Harry quickly corrected, "And that's how a Slytherin thinks. We're Gryffindors" Pavarti nodded and took a deep breath.
"Ok, I think I can just restrain myself." Pavarti said, she looked at Harry's relatives and sneered at Dudley, who was looking Pavarti up and down. "That boy there is just a sick pervert." Harry turned and looked at Dudley. Dudley quickly looked away and stared at the black screen of the TV.
"He was eyeing up Katie earlier. I think he's a bit girl deprived." Harry said. Pavarti smiled.
"Must be." Pavarti said. "Not that you have that problem." Harry looked at Pavarti slightly confused. "Ok, lets see. There's Jenny, Ginny, Cho" She counted off her fingers as she went through the list, "Hermione, Lavender used to like you a bit, I used to like you, I'm aware that Susan Bones once had a crush on you."
"Ok, shut up." Harry said smiling in spite of himself. "They all like me?"
"Well we already know for the first four. I've just told you about me, so yeah." Pavarti gave Harry a smile. She hit his arm gently. "I'm a bit hungry, I was dragged away just before I had dinner."
"In the kitchen, help yourself to the food in the fridge." Harry said. Pavarti scowled.
"I know I had Muggle relatives but what's a fridge?" Pavarti asked.
"I'm not having your people eating from my fridge" Vernon said standing up. Pavarti, out of irritation pointed her wand at Vernon and he immediately sat down again. Harry rolled his eyes and led the way to the kitchen and showed Pavarti the fridge. Pavarti's eyes widened at the fridge and she found the light inside the fridge highly amusing.
"We're on a job." Harry reminded her as she opened and closed the fridge for the sixth time.
"Oh, right, sorry, it's just…it's so cool" Pavarti said opening the door and reaching in to get something to eat. When Harry returned with Pavarti to the living room Cho was standing uncertainly in front of Petunia. Petunia looked like she had just been talking to Cho.
"Harry." Cho said relieved. She went to him and hugged him. "Your aunt is scary." She whispered. Pavarti smiled slightly amused.
"Yeah well." Harry said as Cho gave Pavarti a friendly hug.
"You look so familiar." Petunia said to Cho.
"Aunt Petunia, this is Jenny Chang's niece, Cho." Harry said.
"Oh, that Chinese girl." Petunia said. Cho turned around at this and stared at Petunia,
"Excuse me!" Cho asked very offended.
"The Chinese girl that used to hang around with my sister." Petunia said, "The know it all." Cho nodded slowly,
"That would be her." Cho said dangerously. So far Harry's relatives had successfully managed in insulting all his friends they had met so far and he found it slightly amusing. Petunia looked at Cho, Pavarti then at Harry before sitting down. Vernon was mumbling something about those stupid freaks and Dudley was now eyeing up Harry's ex-girlfriend. Harry didn't feel anything about it but he felt slightly annoyed that Dudley was eyeing all of his friends.
"Dudley, close those eyes of yours. You have no chance with any of my friends." Harry said. Dudley glared at Harry before reaching for the TV remote.
"I'll go and check upstairs." Pavarti said as she strolled out of the room and headed up stairs.
"I checked in at headquarters. You remember Dumbledore's phoenix, well Emma's got it. She said to give you this letter" Cho said handing Harry a letter. "I'll check around the garden and I'll check outside."
"You might want to go and check with Mrs. Figg. She's a squib and has been keeping an eye out for the Order." Harry told Cho. She nodded and apparated out of the house. Harry went by the window and sat down in a seat and he opened up the letter and read it.
"Who's Emma?" Vernon asked.
"My sister." Harry muttered.
"You have a sister?" Petunia asked.
"Do you want to meet her?" Harry asked, looking at Petunia. Petunia looked at Dudley and Vernon. Vernon was giving her a warning look but Harry could see that Petunia was curious to see her.
"Maybe some other time." Petunia said. Harry nodded and looked at the letter. He recognised the handwriting instantly and looked at the bottom of the letter to where Albus Dumbledore had signed his name. Harry read the letter immediately.
"Remember all I have taught you?" Harry muttered, "Which bit?"
"All safe." Pavarti said walking into the room. Harry nodded and looked at his relatives.
"You know you can do anything you want except leave the house." Harry said. With that Dudley got up and headed to his room. As he passed Pavarti he must have done something because Pavarti took a startled step forwards and glared at him. Petunia stood up and headed towards the kitchen but Vernon just sat in his chair with his arms crossed.
"I'm going to keep an eye on you boy." He growled. Harry shrugged.
"Fine. Pavarti, keep an eye out I want to talk to Emma." Pavarti nodded as Harry apparated to 12 grimmauld place. He startled Hermione and Ron who were sitting at the kitchen table. Hermione quickly leapt off Ron's lap and she smoothed out her hair.
"Harry, I thought you were working." Hermione said. Harry smirked as both his best friends went red.
"If you want some privacy I suggest you use the music room if it's empty or the study." Harry said smiling.
"Um…thanks." Ron muttered. Harry laughed,
"Have you seen Emma?" Harry asked.
"She's in her room." Hermione said quickly. "Aren't you going to talk to Jenny, she kinda wants to see you."
"I would love to but I have to talk to Emma about something." Harry said, "I want to introduce her to our family." Ron and Hermione nodded.
"Then go and get her then." Ron said a bit too quickly. Harry laughed and left the room.
"Emma!" Harry called. There was the sounds of several doors opening and Jenny rushed out of one of the rooms.
"Harry!" Jenny said, obviously relieved to see him. "Mum and Cho came by earlier, what's going on?" Jenny asked, she looked into Harry's eyes but he tried to look away. He didn't want Jenny to get into any danger and she was the only person he couldn't keep out of his mind.
"Nothing, um, I need to talk to Emma." Harry muttered. Jenny scowled slightly and pointed upstairs. "Thanks." Harry gave Jenny a kiss and went to find his sister. Jenny scowled at him, she didn't like being left out of anything and her mother had always told her what had been going on. She stormed back into the music room and flopped onto a bean bag.
Harry opened the door to April's room. The room was empty of people except for Fawkes, who stood perched on the back of a chair.
"Hi Fawkes." Harry said stroking his head. "Where's my sister?" Fawkes nodded towards the Pensieve that was sitting on the desk. Harry touched it and went tumbling into the pensieve.
"I can't believe him." Lily ranted as she paced her Dormitory. A young looking April Marsden and Jenny Chang sat on a bed watching Lily.
"Less then an hour and she's already at it" April muttered. Jenny laughed slightly and Lily turned to them.
"It's not funny." Lily said.
"Lily, get a grip, it's just Potter" April said. "When did he annoy you so much?"
"Since he turned up at Petunia's party." Lily said sitting on her bed. "And then he tried to kiss me outside the common room." Jenny looked at Lily interested.
"What happened?" She asked Lily eagerly.
"Nothing, well I did slap him" Lily said with a slight smile. April rolled her eyes.
"Emma." Harry said looking away from the scene in front of him. Emma turned to look at him.
"Oh, I thought you were out." Emma said, "Did Cho give you that letter?"
"Yeah, she did and I want to take you somewhere." Harry said. Emma nodded and looked at their mother before they were outside the pensieve again.
"Where are we going?" Emma asked.
"Aunt Petunia's. Hold onto Fawkes." Harry turned to Fawkes. "My aunts house." Fawkes gave the slightest of nods and disappeared in a flash of gold and red, taking Emma with him. Harry apparated away feeling bad about not being able to spend any more time with Jenny. He apparated into the kitchen to find Petunia looking deathly pale.
"Lily!" Petunia exclaimed. Harry turned to see Emma standing behind him with Fawkes on her shoulder.
"No, Emma." Emma said, "Emma Potter" She looked at Harry and gave him a smile, he grinned back and looked at Petunia, who had just fainted.
