Chapter 29
Harry woke up in his bed, unable to remember how he had even gotten there. He sat up and stretched and looked around. He was not alone. Ron was still asleep in his bed too. The others had already gotten up. Harry rubbed his eyes and reached for his glasses. He put them on and realized that they were not the same ones that he had had the day before. They were much nicer and did not have any tape on them. He looked over at his stuff and found that he had pictures; pictures which he had never seen before.
There was a picture with himself, a young girl, a younger boy, and his parents. He blinked as they looked up at him and smiled. He touched the picture in disbelief. Who were the other two people and where was he. He rushed over to his mirror and lifted up his hair. Yes, there was a scar there as normal. He was who he thought he was, but something was entirely different.
"Ron," Harry tried nervously. He wasn't sure this was the Ron that he had known.
"Mmmmm…." He replied.
"Do you know Voldermort?" Harry blurted out. Ron rocketed up and looked at Harry.
"Yeah. What is he here?" Ron asked. Harry let out a sigh of relief.
"I don't think he has ever been born," Harry replied.
"What? Have you gone starking mad Harry?"
"No. I wished it last night."
"You wished it."
"Yes and then I blacked out."
"Hey that's funny so did I."
"Who else blacked out with you?"
"I think Hermione and Ginny did."
"That is great."
"How is that great."
"We are living in a time and place where Voldermort doesn't exist!"
"Are you sure."
"Positive."
"How do you know?"
Harry grabbed the picture and rushed over to Ron.
"Look! I'm not one in this picture. Those are my parents. They're alive!" Harry exclaimed excitedly.
"Who are the other two?"
"I think those are my siblings."
"You have siblings?"
"Yeah."
"That's great Harry!"
"What's different for you?"
"I don't know," Ron stated as he got up out of his bed. Instead of his hand-me-down clothes he was wearing very nice pajamas.
"Hey, these are expensive looking."
"Ron. I think you guys aren't poor."
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!" Ron bellowed. At that moment the door opened to reveal Hermione and Ginny.
"Hey guys!" the two boys said together.
"Hey. Um, do you know. . ."
"Yep we blacked out. Voldermort was never born!" Harry said excitedly.
"That explains the differences," Ginny said.
"WE'RE RICH!" Ron yelled. Ginny laughed.
"So I noticed."
"What's different for you Hermione?" Ron asked her as she closed the door behind them.
"Nothing really. I am the same here it seems," she replied.
"That's awesome," Ron told her. Then he noticed that she wasn't wearing the regular Hogwarts robes. She was wearing jeans and a soft pink sweater top. Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail.
"How come you are not wearing the regular robes?" Ron asked her.
"There are no robes in this world," she stated. Ron nodded.
"You look really great," he told her.
"Oh. Thanks," Hermione replied, her facing started blushing.
"Oh Harry is that your parents?" Ginny asked as she picked up the picture. He nodded.
"Yep and I have siblings!"
Hermione noticed a book sitting on the dresser. She grabbed it and started flipping through the pages as she sat upon the edge of Ron's bed.
"What is that?" Harry asked.
"I think this is Dumbledore's doing," she said as she scanned the pages.
"What is in there."
"It tells about this alternate universe. Harry you have two siblings-as you already figured out- their names are Violet and Sirius. Violet is a year behind you, she's 15 and Sirius is three years behind you- that makes him a third year and he is 13," Harry told him as she returned to scanning the pages.
Harry sat on his bed. This is what would have happened. He would have had two siblings, a brother and a sister. He had always wanted a sibling and now he had two!
"It says that Mr. Weasley was offered the Ministry of Magic job and he accepted it. That is how you two are rich. Yes, this is Dumbledore's doing. He must have know what Harry had wished."
"No. I think this is something entirely different," Harry replied.
"What do you mean?"
"I think that at that moment in time when I wished that we fell into this other dimension. I think Dumbledore had nothing to do with this."
"Are you sure?" Hermione asked him.
"I can feel it," he said softly.
"You sound like Professor Trewlany."
"Yeah I know," Harry said with a laugh.
"Well it is Saturday. Get dressed and we will go down to the Great Hall to eat," Ginny said. The boys nodded as the girls left.
Harry kept looking around, trying to get a glimpse of his siblings. He went all the way down to the Hall without seeing any of them, but once inside he could pin point them anywhere.
They were sitting at the Gryffindor table eating breakfast, talking and laughing with Dean and Seamus. Harry came up, his heart soaring.
"Morning!" He greeted.
"Morning Harry!" Violet said brightly. That's when he got to take a real look at her. Her eyes were this amazing blue, the color he assumed was his father's color, but her hair was extremely curly and red. Harry looked his brother. His brother was a mirror image of himself, except his eyes where blue like Violet's. Harry knew that his brother was probably the mirror image of their father.
"Hey Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny. Boy did you guys sleep in today," Seamus said.
"Yeah. We were tired," Hermione lied.
"That's okay. So what are we going to do today?" Dean asked.
"I have no idea," Ron said as he started piling food upon his plate. Dean and Seamus' mouth's dropped open.
"What?" Ron asked them.
"You guys always have a plan for every Saturday," Dean answered.
"Oh," Harry said. Violet gave him a look. He had to turn his eyes away from her as she studied his eyes.
"Well we decided that for once that we were just going to go with the flow," Ron bluffed.
"Weird," Seamus said.
"Yeah, super weird," Dean replied.
"Why don't you plan out something?" Hermione suggested.
"Um, right now?" Dean asked.
"Yeah," Ginny said.
"We're going to have to think about that," Seamus said. Hermione giggled softly as Ron's hand found hers underneath the table.
"What are you two doing?" Seamus asked suddenly.
"Um. . ." Ron said, his ears turning bright red.
"Are you guys dating?" Dean asked.
"Yes," Hermione replied.
"Wait! When did this happen?" Violet asked.
"Yesterday," Ron said.
"Really? Because yesterday you had this big huge blow out fight and weren't speaking to each other," Sirius replied.
"Well, we. . . we made up and discussed it and found out that we liked each other," Hermione saved. Violet's eye brow went up in disbelief and Harry had to suppress a laugh. He knew that he did that too, it was just that he had never seen it before.
"But you hate him," Violet replied.
"I don't hate him," Hermione protested.
"You told me yesterday that you absolutely one hundred percent hate that stupid, ignorant prat Ronald Weasley and that you didn't want to ever see him again as long as you live," Violet retorted. Hermione fell into silence, unsure of what to say to that.
"Well she told me before that the reason why she fights so much with Ron is because deep down she really loves him and that she was unsure of how it would all work out and she was afraid of losing him," Ginny spoke up.
"Since when does she tell you stuff that she doesn't tell me?" Violet asked, hurt evident in her voice and eyes.
"I told her because I couldn't find you," Hermione lied. Violet gave her another questioning look.
"Yeah. She does that some times," Ginny agreed, her eyes looking down slightly. Harry knew that the lie had hurt Ginny somewhat. He took her hand and gave it a squeeze. She looked up and gave him a smile.
"Will you two stop being mushy!" Dean exclaimed at Harry.
"What?" Harry asked him, slightly dazed.
"We know that you guys have been going out since your second year and her first, but that doesn't mean we want it displayed at meals!" Seamus replied. Harry blinked. In this world he had been dating her since his second year! He looked over at her and could see the slight surprise in her face. That was something that hadn't been in that book, or at least that Hermione hadn't found yet.
"Why do you two look surprised by that?" Sirius asked them as he ate some of his toast. Harry swallowed hard. His siblings were observant, too observant just like him. It was something he knew now that he would have to watch for.
"We aren't surprised by that, we just didn't think that we were being as mushy as we could be," Ginny saved, giving Harry's hand a reassuring squeeze. Harry smiled at her mischievously.
"Oh my gosh, shut up. Shut up!" Sirius exclaimed, slightly gagging at the thought.
"Soo what are we going to do today?" Violet asked, giving Harry a final look.
"Stuff," Ron replied.
"How about a snowball fight?" Harry suggested. Violet smiled.
"That's a great idea. We haven't had a decent snowball fight since last year," Dean replied.
"Well, let's all meet in the Gryffindor common room in one hour. Um, Gin and Ron and Hermione and I need to do something," Harry said. The four got up, leaving the rest of the gang completely confused.
"What's it say Hermione?" Harry asked as he slightly paced.
"Well, it says that you and Ginny are the greatest couple here. Ron and I hate each other, but we just messed everything up since we held hands. They absolutely hate each other. It doesn't seem that there would be any chance for them. Harry you are famous just because you're the Seeker, still youngest in a century, and because you are James Potter and Lily Evan's son. And.. wow," Hermione breathed.
"What?" Ginny asked, bouncing on the bed next to her.
"It says that even though I am a muggle born I saved a village. Because of that I won the First Merlin award for bravery," Hermione told them, her eyes looking up in surprise.
"Wow," the three others said together. They remained silent for several minutes, unsure of how to proceed from them.
"Violet and Sirius suspect I think," Harry blurted out.
"Should we tell them?" Ron asked him.
"No. Let's keep it to ourselves right now. Let them come to us," Ginny suggested.
"It's the best thing really," Hermione replied.
"Do you think that we will be able to keep up this charade?" Ron asked.
"I think that we need to tell Dumbledore," Ginny said.
"No," Harry said promptly.
"Why not Harry?" Ginny asked.
"I want to meet my parents. I want to get to know my siblings," he replied. Ginny took his hand.
"Knowing them may not help the pain," she told him softly.
"I know that, but I still want to know what I would have had. Is that too much to hope for?" He asked angrily.
"When will you meet them?" Ron asked him.
"I'm going to write them."
"And tell them what? Hello Mum and Dad, this is your son, but I'm from a different universe. Your other son is there in my place with this mass murder that in my universe killed you and now I just want to know you?" Hermione asked him.
"No I'm not going to tell them that. I'm just going to write them and tell them that I need to see them. That's all. I just want to have a memory of them. One that doesn't consist the murder in it," Harry replied softly, his cheeks going red.
"I think that you should tell Violet and Sirius. At least they will be on your side when you tell them," Ron suggested.
"I'm not going to tell them. The hour is up. Let's go."
Together they went down stairs and found the rest of the group waiting for them.
"Done with what you guys needed to do?" Violet asked.
"Yep. Let's go! BOYS AGAINST GIRLS!" Ron bellowed as the boys ran out of the portrait hole. The girls sighed and rolled their eyes.
They ran down to the field and made snow forts. The boys started making snow balls and flung them at the girls.
"No fair we aren't ready!" Hermione yelled at them.
"All is fair in war!" Ron yelled back.
"Then all is fair in love too!" Hermione yelled back.
"What the heck are you talking about?" Ron bellowed, but he was clobbered in the side of the head with a very large snowball.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA RON I GOT YOU!" Hermione's voice yelled across the snow.
"I'M GONNA GET YOU FOR THAT!"
As Ron chased after Hermione, Ginny and Harry were having their own fight.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOVED SNOW DOWN MY SHIRT!" Harry was yelling as he ran after her.
"I can!" She yelled back
"I'm gonna get you!"
"Just try!"
After a few hours of the fight they stood around the field soaking wet and laughing. They went up to the castle to get warm in the common room.
