Author's Note: Hey y'all! I just finished writing this... wow. Didn't mean for it to be so long!!! Oh well. I do own something in this story, though! J.K. Rowling owns Harry, Snape, Lupin, all Weasleys and Grangers, Tonks, and Moody. She DOES NOT OWN my characters such as Roxanne, Aidrienne, Bane, Chrystopher, Julianna, and Scott. No. Those are mine. Please do not use them. I had to come up with them all on my own. You'll know who they are by the end of this chapter. I promise you. On with the story!

Harry woke the next morning to the smell of breakfast cooking. He stretched and stepped gingerly out of bed. In the bed next to his, Ron was still asleep. Harry yawned and left the bedroom, shivering slightly.

When he reached the kitchen doorway, Harry heard low, concerned voices. He stopped and stood in the shadows listening carefully.

"He wasn't supposed to meet them!" said Snape's harsh voice. "They were supposed to be kept a secret from each other. And you just let it slip, Lupin?" Harry's fist balled up as he heard the disdain in his potion master's voice. Lupin's tired one responded.

"Snape, I know that. You think I don't? I'm guardian to both of them now. Don't you think I'd know? I didn't randomly tell him about them. He asked who they were. What was I supposed to do? Lie?"

"Yes," Snape said harshly. "Not let him know about them, at least. Tell him they were relatives that died, for all we care."

"Severus, I don't think Remus wanted to tell Harry about them," Mrs. Weasley said gently. "We all heard him. There was no choice in the matter."

Moody cleared his throat. "If we don't want Harry to know any more about them, we'd better shut up."

"Why?" Snape hissed.

"Because the lad is just around the corner." The room was silent, and, taking his cue, Harry entered the kitchen.

"Good morning, Harry," Lupin smiled. "How are you?"

"Good," Harry mumbled. He sat down and began to eat his plate of toast and scrambled eggs. Mrs. Weasley smiled and looked at the clock.

"Good Lord!" she cried. "It's already half past eight! They could be here any minute!"

"Molly," Remus said soothingly. "They said they would let us know when they were half an hour away from getting here. Don't worry."

As he said this, there was a sharp tapping on the window. Remus looked up and, looking at the window, his eyes widened. He jumped up and opened it, letting a beautiful bird climb onto his arm. He grinned as he turned to Mrs. Weasley.

"Get ready, Molly," he said. "They're on their way."

The house was absolute chaos. Mrs. Weasley was running around straightening chairs, pictures, anything she could. She woke up Ron and Ginny (the others were already up) and made them skip breakfast.

"We have to save some for our guests," she said as she slapped Ron's hand away from the plates of food. He moaned and slumped into a chair beside Harry.

"What a morning," he muttered. Harry nodded and continued eating his plate of food. Ron looked hungrily at it.

"Want some?" Harry asked. Ron nodded vigorously and snatched half the food off the plate. Harry grinned and glanced at the doorway where Lupin was standing.

"What's up, Professor?" he asked, looking curious. Lupin smiled.

"Just wondering what you'll think of them," he said quietly. He glanced at the window. Mrs. Weasley was just beginning to attempt to brush Harry's hair when a sharp knock came on the front door.

"Good Lord!" she cried. "They're here! Oh, Harry, brush that tuft down." Harry attempted, but to no avail. "Ron, wipe your mouth!" Ron pretended to put the napkin to his mouth and smirked when Harry saw him put the clean napkin back. "And Ginny! WASH YOUR HANDS!" Ginny scowled at her mother, but went to the sink and began to scrub. Mrs. Weasley straightened her hair and sashayed to the door. With a glance at Lupin, she opened it.

Harry and Ron gaped at the woman standing in the doorway. She had shoulder-length wavy black hair, some of which fell in her bright green eyes. She looked about as tall as Sirius had been. She smiled at Mrs. Weasley and said, "Molly. It's so good to see you again!" Mrs. Weasley's smile widened as she embraced the woman.

"Roxanne! It's been so many years! How are you dear? You look wonderful! Oh, come in, come in!" As the new woman entered, Harry noticed five teenagers standing behind her.

The one standing nearest the door was a girl about Harry's age. She had a flat looking hat that covered her short, feathery black hair. She had a long, thin face that looked identical to what Sirius' had been. She was long and lean, her muscles showing as she moved restlessly in the hall. Her bright blue eyes were sparkling mischievously as she looked around.

Directly behind her was a taller boy. He had the same face, but his black hair was curlier than hers. The longest lock reached the nape of his neck. He had dark green eyes that were glistening interestedly. He looked about Harry's age, too.

On his left was a slightly shorter boy who looked just like the one next to him, only his eyes were a deep purple. He looked as though he had not completely grown into his skin yet. Harry guessed that he would get as tall as the other dark haired boy. And behind him were two others.

The boy behind the dark haired children had curly golden-red locks. His eyes were not like the others', but a deep golden color. He had freckles that sprinkled his high cheekbones and nose. He seemed to be slightly uncomfortable.

Next to him was a girl who looked like his twin. She had the same golden-red hair, the same deep golden eyes, and the same freckles, but the boy was more leanly built than her. Where the boy had toned muscles, she had distinctive, but not extraordinary, ones. He was tall and thin while she was thin, but a bit shorter than him.

Roxanne turned to Harry and Ron. She smiled in an affectionate fashion and took them both into a hug.

"It's good to finally meet you, Harry," she said quietly. Her eyes were glistening as she looked at him. When she noticed he was still staring at the teens in the doorway, she laughed gently.

"Come in, all of you." The dark haired girl moved forward (she seemed to be the leader of the group). She stuck a thin hand out to Harry.

"Nice to meet you, Harry," she said in a surprisingly soft voice. "I'm Aidrienne. Aidrienne Black." He shook her hand and was surprised by her firmness. She motioned behind her as her companions slowly walked up to Harry.

"This is my twin brother, Bane," she pointed to the taller dark haired boy, "and my little brother Chrystopher." The shorter boy smiled. The girl pointed to her blond haired companions. "These two are my cousins Julianna," she nodded at the girl, "and Scott." The boy raised his hand in greeting.

Harry smiled at them, then heard a cough. He turned to see Professor Lupin smiling at the newcomers. Aidrienne recovered first.

"Uncle Remus!" she cried, and rushed forward to hug him. Bane and Chrystopher followed suit. As Lupin put them down, Julianna and Scott rushed forward. To Harry's surprise, they were also calling to him.

"Dad! Oh, Dad! We missed you so much!"

Author's Note: These kids have undergone so many changes it's not even funny. Aidrienne has been Aidrienne from the start. She was thought up by me after I read the third book. She is all mine. Lupin has had a daughter on and off, but I finally decided to keep it. After I read the fifth book, I decided there needed to be twins and such for prophecies and such (more on that in later chapters). Sorry there was no Lupin/Tonks in this one. This was basically the introduction to a new story that has not been named yet. In that story, however, there will be bits of Lupin/Tonks, never fear. Hope you liked this chapter! Please be on the lookout in the next few weeks for a new HP story by me! Reviews are appreciated!
