Harry screamed and laughed in delight. It was July 29, 1991, two days before his birthday. Just a minute ago he was peacefully asleep in his bed but now he was being viscously attacked or tickled in this case, by his "sister" Alexia. Leila was finishing of Azi. That night was one of the many that Azi and Harry had shared together. It had started when Harry had first seen one of the tornados that swept close to the island.

The storms had come once or twice a month but once or twice a week in the summer that year. Every first flash of purple lightning, Harry would jump out of bed and run for Azi's room. But Harry was no longer afraid of the lightning. Azi and he had grown very close. They would spend every minute together and refused to leave each others side. The second time that they had spent the night together ran clearly through Harry's head.

Flash Back

Harry shook in bed as the storm of the century raged outside. He whimpered when the lightning flash but cried out as the thunder rattled the windows. Hail and rain fell endlessly outside and a tear slid down his pale face. Sobs echoed around the room as they did for every storm, but these ones were more persistent and more terrified then the others. After about five minutes of crying, Harry finally got the courage to take his head out of the covers and go get Azi. He jumped out of bed and sprinted down the hall to Azi's room.

He slowly opened the door, hoping that it wouldn't squeak, and stared into darkness. He got on his hands and knees and crawled over to Azi's bed and peered over. Azi was sound asleep, drool and everything. Harry, as slowly and soundlessly as he could, crawled in next to Azi. When Harry turned to face him, Azi shifted slightly, moving his hand to Harry's waist and opening his eyes a little. Azi, just thinking it was another one of his dreams, pulled Harry closer and sighed in contentment.

When they woke up in the morning, they decided to keep this a secret but continued on meeting up at night, switching off between Harry and Azi's room.

End Flash Back

Of course, now Alexia and Leila knew. Actually they had known for a while but didn't tell anyone. They had thought it was "cute", "sweet", "adorable" or any other disgusting girly word they could come up with.

"Uncle! Uncle!" Azi yelled through his laughter. Leila showed him mercy and stopped her attack. Azi stuck out his tongue and climbed under the covers.

"Aww, Lexi, leave him alone. We should get breakfast started anyway." Leila said, smiling at her twin and Harry. Alexia let him go with a pout.

"And I almost had him." She said. The twins left the room, promising to be back to get them for breakfast. Harry slowly crawled under the covers, trying to catch his breath. Azi leaned over and wrapped his arms around Harry, who let himself be pulled into Azi's body. Harry felt Azi's hand stroking his hair and let himself fall asleep.

Albus Dumbledore sat in his office, stroking his beard thoughtfully. He had just finished sending out all the students' letters but one. He was trying to figure out how to reach this student and the idea reached his as his phoenix thrilled beside his desk.

He smiled at it and held out his arm for the bird to land on.

"Fawkes, do you think you could do a favor for me?" He asked the bird, eyes twinkling. The phoenix thrilled again. "Will you find Harry Potter and give this to him?"

Fawkes flew over to his arm, took the letter, and disappeared.

The Devono family was having dinner when a loud popping noise echoed through out the room. All the sudden a beautiful gold and red phoenix appeared on the table, right in front of Harry. The phoenix stuck out it leg and the letter tied to it fell in Harry's plate. Harry, who was too shocked to do anything, just stared at the bird. So Alexia took it upon herself to do something. Unfortunately that something was to reach across the table a poke the phoenix with a fork. Fawkes looked at her but didn't do anything.

"Well..." Aziraphale broke the silence. "What does it say?"

Veronica looked at him disapprovingly.

Harry looked at the address on the letter only to find his name. He slowly opened it up. His heart rate rising every second.

HOGWARTS SCHOOL
Of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
Supreme Mugwump, Internationl Confederation
of Wizards)

Dear Mr. Potter,
We are glad to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed list of all necessary books and equipment .
Term begins on September 1. We await your owl no later than July 31.

Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall.

After Harry was finished reading the letter out loud, the family started yelling. Harry just sat in shock about what he had heard, the rest of the kids were yelling reason why Harry shouldn't go, Aziraphale scratched his head nervously trying to calm his kids down, Fawkes just sat there, and Veronica stood up, gently took Harry by the shoulders and led him out of the room to calm him down.

When they got to Harry's room she laid him down on him bed and got a cool washcloth to put on his head. When she got back in his room, she found his curled up into a small ball, crying loudly. Veronica sat down beside him and rubbed his back until his breathing was more regular and he spread out more. She turned Harry over and place the cool cloth on his forehead.

"I don't want to go." Harry said through his tears.

"Shh," She soothed. "I know you don't but it will be fun and you'll make new friends, get to learn magic, and you will see us during Christmas, Easter, and summer."

"But I'll still miss everyone." Harry said sadly.

"Yes, but knowing Azi, he'll probably sneak over to your school everyday to see you." Harry smiled slightly at her answer. "Now go to sleep, you've had a rough day." She kissed Harry on the cheek and left to go sort out her kids.

" "8" "

"But I don't want him to go!" Azi yelled hysterically at his father. Alexia and Leila had long since given up and left to go sit on the beach to watch the sun set.

Azi knew he was going to lose but it was worth a try. His father had already sent the reply with the phoenix, saying that they accept. Just then his mother walked in, she gave him a sad smile and a hug and sent him off to bed too. Aziraphale wiped sweat off his brow and sighed.

"He had me for a minute there. Definitely your son. You do know were to get Harry stuff, right?" Aziraphale asked uncertainly.

"Of course I do, I am a witch you know, or have you forgotten already?" Veronica said with a wink.

"Oh, trust me, I haven't forgotten." He turned toward the open door just in time to see his son run past over to Harry's room.

" "8" "

It was 11 a.m. on July 31, Harry's birthday, and Veronica and he were headed to Diagon Alley. Harry still didn't know he was famous but Veronica would tell him before he went to school. Hopefully no one would see his scar and they wouldn't recognize him because everyone thought he was dead except the teachers at this school, and because of his eyes.

An hour later they had gotten everything but Harry's robes and Veronica was already in a bad mood because of that creepy wand shop guy. He knew that that was Harry so she had to get him out of there as fast as possible. When they got to Madam Malkin's Veronica sent Harry upstairs with the woman and sat down and tried to relax.

She didn't know why, but she had a bad feeling that something was about to make her day a lot worse and those feelings were always right. She looked up to see Harry talking to another boy his age that look oddly like...

The bell on the door sounded and see looked over. Yep, those feelings were always right. A man and a woman had just walked in. Both had light blond hair. Veronica grabbed a magazine and put it over her face and stuck out her tongue to the picture in side because standing beside her was her brother and sister-in-law.

Her brother's name was Lucius Malfoy and his wife's name is Narcissa Malfoy or in her and Crowley's books, slut of the month. Her and her brother had been in a family feud since Azi and her nephew, Draco, was one years old. She wasn't against him; just their parents were fighting over the fall of the dark lord. Her brother and herself had gone into hiding and hadn't seen each other since and to tell the truth, she missed him, but she just didn't need this right now.

"Draco." Lucius called into the store, stepping in front of her, but was still turned around. Veronica tried hard not to laugh. Between the tight pants, gelled hair, and fake voice, she almost couldn't help it, but then she saw his son up close and the snake head cane, then she couldn't help herself. She burst into laughter.

Lucius turned around sharply, he could recognize that laugh anywhere. He knew who it was before he even saw her. Veronica stood up to meet her brother in a hug, when she pulled back they both had tears in their eyes. They laughed and Veronica kissed him on the cheek.

Narcissa scowled. She knew it had been ten years since her husband had seen his sister, but she still hated Veronica, actually more like the entire Devono family. Thirty minutes later, the Malfoys, Harry, and Veronica had gone over most the stuff that had happened in the last ten years. Veronica had told Harry that he was famous but didn't explain why or how, but said she would before school.

A few minutes later Narcissa left and Veronica and Lucius were in a heated discussion about boring grown up stuff, so Harry and Draco were left in an awkward silence and Harry noticed that Draco kept glancing up into his eyes, fascinated with the two different colors

"So," Harry started, finally breaking the silence. "You're going to Hogwarts this year too?"

Draco looked up from the table. "Yes, I want to be in Slytherin. What house do you want to be in?"

"Um, I'm not really familiar with all the houses." Harry said. So Draco began explaining. They argued about what house would hold the best people and what house was better at what. Pretty soon the discussion went to Quidditch but was cut short as Veronica and Lucius said good bye. Harry promised Draco he would see him on the school train and Lucius promised Veronica he would see her more often.

Thanks every one for waiting and yes whitewater rafting was great. I did three class fives. Woot. Thanks for the reviews. Just to let you know, if you've noticed. The Devono children do not go to Hogwarts even though they have wizarding blood. This is because

1) They're half angels and it's a "sin" to be magic

2) They're in hiding

This will be said in the next chapter but incase you were wondering now. Oh, and what house should Harry be in?

Luv ya,
A.J.
