CHAPTER 3

"MY COUSIN?!?!?!?!"

"Yes Harry, your cousin. Your twin cousin to be exact. She was born on the 31st of October, exactly at midnight, like you. We knew that Voldemort was trying to kill your family, so we sent Raven to Egypt. She was cared for by crypt keepers, and studied advanced spells when she was 10. By this time last year, she had already finished her education, can apparate, can do wandless magic, and is also a multiple animagus."

Dumbledore stopped speaking to let what he said sink in.

Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Parvati, Padma and Ginny had a hard time taking what Dumbledore had just said, but not as hard as Harry did. He didn't know what emotion he was feeling at the moment. Was it anger, was it surprise, what? He had just gotten over Sirius being gone, and not once for his whole life, did anyone say a word that he had family, apart from aunt Petunia.

"ALL THIS TIME, AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!?!?!?"

"Harry, it was strictly on a need to know basis. We weren't sure if Raven was ever going to come to England, let alone Hogwarts.

"OHHHH! AND NOW YOU TELL ME THAT SHES COMING TO HOGWARTS ASWELL!!! WELL WHOOP DE DO!!!"

"Harry..."

"NO IM NOT LISTENING TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS, WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE OR TRUST YOU. SINCE I CAME TO HOGWARTS, YOU'VE DONE NOTHING BUT ONLY TELL ME ΒΌ OF WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW, BECAUSE YOU THINK THAT IM TOO DELICITE FOR THE TRUTH." Harry couldn't take this anymore; he stood up, and left for Sirius' mothers' room. No one tried to stop him, as he had his wand, and his seeker senses were quite fast, so no-one would have had a chance to stop him going up the stairs anyway, apart from Dumbledore.

As he opened the door quietly, as not to disturb buckbeak, he herd a little voice from within the room. On further inspection, he noticed it was raven talking quietly to buckbeak.

"Oh sorry about intruding raven........"

"No No it's all right. Come in. I see that you've walked out on Dumbledore. I did the same thing when I found out. No one had mentioned it before so I yelled at every one and took to my room for 6 weeks, along with the silent treatment."

"Why are you here, in England I mean, by the sound of it, you have a perfect life back at Egypt. Why come here?"

"Well, apart from finding you of course, I am also here for Headquarter business, and to teach you to become an animagus and to do wandless magic. Oh and also to teach you some more curses to teach to the D.A."

"Wow, you must have had a very good teacher for you to learn all of that so quickly."

"Thanks. So I hear that you can perform a corporal patronus. What's your animal? Mine's a Norwegian Ridgeback."

"You can perform a successful patronus?!?! Cool! Mines a stag, like my dads animagus was." Before long, they had started talking about everything imaginable. Quidditch, Hogwarts, Headquarters, Family, etc.

Soon, it was about 8am the next day, and Hermione and Ron found the two of them sleeping on the bed together with buckbeak as well.

Hermione had decided not to wake them because they needed to get to know each other better. They had 16 years to catch up on.

Ron however had a different plan. He had told Fred and George that they were up in 'buckbeak's room'. The twins carefully crept up the stairs, trying not to get busted by Hermione or their mum.

"They look so peaceful............... Let's do it"

"Your right dear brother lets go"

"But wait, buckbeak."

"Well we'll just have to be extra quiet"

They crept in and started to spread this sticky, stuff all over where they would move when woken up.

When they were done, George crept beside Harry, and yelled

"DEMENTOR!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

But he didn't stir, raven however, had woken up because she had heard their footsteps and breathing from out side the room, and said, that if they didn't get rid of this gunk, she wouldn't be held responsible for her actions. And that she knew how to circumcise a man.
