Chapter 4

An unsettled wind washed through the dark damp corridor in the bowls of number twelve Grimlaud Place. Albus Dumbledore walked down it seeking one of his most gifted charges. He knew that Harry wanted answers for his recent changes, answers that he could not yet give.

"Why didn't you tell me Albus?" Harry's voice ripped through the silence.

The elder wizard could see two brightly flaring emerald eyes watching him from the depths of the darkness. He could feel the power flowing through the young man. Only one thought ran through his mind…

It is too soon he isn't ready yet. I should have seen this coming.-

"Please Harry, my memory is not what it used to be, could you remind me of what I have apparently neglected to tell you?" An innocent smile played itself across the old man's lips.

But this light humour, apparently, did not go down well and only served to anger the teen even more.

"You know exactly what I am referring to old man," his voice echoed in a deadly whisper, "WHYDIDN'T YOU TELL ME I HAD a TWIN BROTHER!"

His voice ringing clearly through the whole house/mansion (which is it?) waking the inhabitants. A tremor ran through the building with it.

Dumbledore stood completely unfazed by this display of anger and power. The younger wizard continued on.

"I trusted you. I always trusted you, unquestionably." His voice remained calm, all most as if he was talking about something as menial as the weather, "First, you kept the knowledge of the prophesy from me. That I am beginning to understand and to an extent am thankful to you because of it. But this…this is different. He is my only remaining family. How could you keep this from me?"

As Harry regarded his mentor he noticed a look that he had only seen a select few times before. Albus Dumbledore, one of the most powerful wizards in history, looked old and tired. This unnerved Harry as it had the last times he had seen this.

The older man sighed.

"I believe it is best if we continued this conversation in the sitting room." He followed Dumbledore back up stairs. He would be patient; the answers he sought were coming.

At the top of the stairs there waited a worried group of Weasleys with Hermione in front. Remus was also there with Tonks standing remarkably close to him (wink).

"Professor is everything ok?" a worried Hermione asked.

"Everything is just fine Ms. Granger. I just have a few things to discuss with Harry. There is also something you need to hear on this matter as well. Though I don't doubt that Harry may need your support. The rest of you should go and get your sleep."

With that everyone trooped back upstairs to their respective beds.

When they were seated the headmaster spoke.

"I believe that it is safe to say that Ms. Granger heard what this is about." A smile crossed his face, "If you do not mind I will deal I would like to address Hermione first, seeing as the information I have for her is remotely shorter than it is for you."

Harry only nodded at this. His hand holding Hermione's.

"Well, Miss Granger, I have some very good news for you. Another member of your family has been discovered with magical abilities."

Hermione's face lit up when she heard this. This was something she had hoped for a long time to have someone else in her family like her.

"Really! Who…who is it?" she asked giddily.

"As late as is in awakening…" That was all she needed to guess who.

"Charlotte?" Dumbledore nodded, "oh my god, I can't believe it." She shrieked like a little on Christmas day. She hugged Harry then ran and hugged a surprised Albus Dumbledore, tears in her eyes.

"Thank you professor you don't realise how much this means to me."

When she had calmed down slightly the elder wizard spoke again.

"Before you ask me how this happened, Ms. Granger I would like to discuss Mr Potter's situation." His expression became more serious as he turned to Harry, though not by much.

"I will start from the beginning of this story to best explain what happened. One month ago two new magical signatures appeared on my devices. Not an uncommon event, it happens all the time, this is how the new students are found. Though these new signatures were odd, for lack of a better word. Each was perfectly identical to another signature that is already in existence. These signatures are yours and Ms. Granger's. I went to personally investigate this anomaly. What I found was yours and Hermione's twin siblings. Though I had suspicions on the fact that Charlotte Granger was the cause of one of the signatures, your brother caught me off guard. He was believed dead that fateful night fifteen years ago, his body missing. It appear that a married couple who were friends of your parents found him and believing he was in danger went into hiding like James and Lily. Jean and David were not able to have children so did not want to part with him. They fled into the muggle world. There he grew up as Nathan James Hunter."

As he said the name Hermione's head shot up. While Harry looked deep in thought.

"I believe I have struck a positive note with you Ms. Granger." Pride shone in Dumbledore's eyes.

"Yes, Professor that's the name of my sister's best friend. But how come it took this long for their power to awaken?" She asked confused.

"That I cannot tell you because I really don't know the answer." Came his reply.

They both turned to look at the remaining inhabitant of the room. A lost expression. When he spoke it held that same quality never even changing note.

"Why didn't anybody tell me he existed in the first place…actually don't answer that." He whispered. Then he found focus and spoke more boldly, "I want to meet him."

"Of course, I shall bring them both tomorrow by portkey." A twinkle came to the old man's eyes.

Oh god what is he thinking now? - Harry thought.

"There is just one more thing I want to talk about." Harry groaned on the inside. "Nathan has shown that he has elemental abilities. I have a theory but I want to test it first."

Out of his robes he pulled six one inch tripods, he placed these on the coffee table in front of Harry. Next he out a rectangular box. He also placed that on the table. He opened the box, not showing the teens the contents. Then one by one he took out six spheres, each one would fit into a cupped hand. The first was a deep blood red, the second a deep blue, the third emerald green, the forth milky white, fifth looked like it was made from iron or steel, then finally a bluey-silver.

They all appeared like they were made of liquid rather than stone. Harry could feel a force drawing him to three of the six stone.

As Albus watch Harry he noticed that his eyes took a glazed look. This was a good sign.

"Which one are you drawn to? Move it away from the others." His was voice calm and soothing.

Harry reached towards the table, and then hesitated; this was very good Albus thought. Harry then moved three out of the way leaving three in front of him. As he touched each one it glowed.

Deep sapphire.

Deep emerald.

And Milk white.

Perfect. - Was Dumbledore's thought.

"Do you know what this means Harry?" He asked.

At first the boy…no man in front of him did not answer.

Hermione squeezed Harry's hand bringing him out of his reverie.

"Water…Earth…and Air." He said in realisation.

Dumbledore nodded and placed the spheres back in the box. The moment they were out of sight the glazed look vanished and Harry snapped out of his daze.

"Which one did my brother select?" He said quickly.

"His were the others. Together the two of you hold nearly the entire elemental spectrum. You with water, earth and air; and Nathan with lightening, fire and metal." He paused and look at the two tired teens, "Well enough talk, it is very late. We can speak more on this tomorrow."

He stood. Turning to the two.

"They will arrive at 08:00 tomorrow in the entrance hall. I will see myself out."

When he closed the door to the sitting room he heard Hermione finally burst with speech.

"Harry, this is amazing, you're an elemental. Not just that but with three elements. To be to use just one is rare enough, we need to read up on…" That was all he heard as he left with a chuckle.

"I still say she should have been a Ravenclaw."

The next day, both Harry and Hermione were up early while everyone else slept in.

They had breakfast and sat eagerly in the hallway waiting.

At 07:45 Harry had a thought.

"Don't you think that Remus would like Nathan when he gets here?" He asked Hermione.

"Yea, I should have thought of that. Go and wake him up." She said giving him a quick kiss.

Harry ran upstairs to his old professor's room. When he got there he knocked.

There was no answer.

He knocked again.

There was no answer. This time he put ear to the door. Inside he could hear a faint snoring, so he decided to go make Remus up the old fashioned way.

He carefully opened the door and stepped into the room. The site that greeted him was one that he would not have expected in all his life.

There, asleep, lay Nymphadora Tonks in all her glory.

Being a teenager, Harry didn't know whether to thank Merlin or to run and hide, because if she woke up right now he was a dead man.

He stood there for a whole minute in shock and also drinking in this once in a lifetime sight. Then another reaction took hold, the fight or flight response, and with that he backed out of the room quickly and closed the door silently. Once he was out all he could do was stare at the door. He stood there for another minute until he shook himself out of his reverie. Then he turned to leave.

"Were you looking for me Harry?" Remus' voice spoke out from behind him.

Scared out of his wits Harry spun round to see Remus Lupin In a bath robe towelling his wet hair.

"Are you ok you look like you have seen a ghost?" the former professor asked.

"Erm…Remus…yes I was looking for you. Erm…I came to ask if you wanted to meet my brother."

"He's alive! Of course I'll be right down."

With that the older man ran to his room and closed the door.

When he got back down Harry had managed to get all thoughts of the pervious encounter out of his mind. He was now completely focused on meeting his brother and Hermione's sister.

He looked at his watch and saw that there was only thirty seconds until their siblings would arrive. He took hold off Hermione's hand as they stood looking at the spot where they would see them.

Harry nervously looked at his watch again, 10 seconds. Next to him Hermione squeezed his hand reassuringly and gave him a smile then looked back to the spot.

They felt the familiar build up of magic that made the hair on the back of their necks rise.

Then with a thump there they were.

It was looking into a mirror. The only difference they could see between them was the clothing.

Ron came down stair yawning.

He walked past Harry and Hermione on the way to the kitchen.

"Hay Harry, Hay Herm."

Then he past another Harry and Hermione.

"Hay Harry, Hay Herm."

Then continued into the kitchen.

To say they were amused by this would have been an understatement.

As a tired Ronald Weasley walked past them greeting both pairs in the same way, it was all they could do not to burst out laughing.

Then Harry brought up one hand and began counting down with it. When he dropped the last finger there was an explosion of sound from the kitchen.

"WHAT THE FUCK!"

And a confused red head came running out of the Kitchen.

A.N. I am so sorry that it has taken this long for me to update this one. But I have put my other FF on hold for the moment so that I can do this one. LOVE YOU ALL. Hehehe. PLS PLS PLS leave a review.
