Ok I know it's been awhile since I last updated but school and work and my stupid laptop got in the way. Now all is well and I shall continue.
Regan wondered what Dumbledore possible could want from her as she carried Liam up the stairs to his office. To her surprise when she got there she not only found Dumbledore but also another man that she had never laid eyes n before. "Ah Regan I see you also brought Liam, very good." Dumbledore said as she walked into his office. The strange man looked at her with surprise and Dumbledore continued "Cornelius this is Regan Potter twin sister to Harry Potter and her son Liam. Regan this is Minister Fudge, Minister of Magic. "
"Pleasure," She said sarcastically.
"The pleasure is all mine," Fudge said hiding his immediate dislike for her with false cheer.
She looked at Dumbledore and asked "is this all? The Feast is in an hour and we have to get ready."
"You may go," Dumbledore consented. "I just wanted to get you and the Minister acquainted.
"Alrighty then, bye" she said curtly before leaving.
"She has a child?" Fudge demanded.
"Yes she has a child." Dumbledore replied calmly.
"That little whore is sister to our savior?"
"Yes she is, and she is far from a whore, she's a little girl who had it rough just like Harry."
"You do realize that people will not be pleased when they find out she has a baby. Does she even know who the father is?" Fudge sneered.
"Yes," replied Dumbledore.
"I demand to know where he is so that he might make an honest woman out of her and quench the uproar that this is bound to attract."
"Nonsense," said Dumbledore. "You will do no such thing, certainly you making this into something greater than it is."
"We need Harry more than ever now that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back. She will distract him, take him away from his studies."
"Cornelius, that is complete and utter nonsense."
"you do realize that the Daily Prophet will have a field day with this."
"Yes I do, and there is nothing we can do about it."
An hour later Harry and Regan watched from above as the students made their way to the Great Hall. Harry was about to join the Gryffindor table then he turned to Regan and asked "aren't you coming?"
"No," she replied "Dumbledore wants to properly introduce me and Liam to everyone."
"Oh, ok. See you at the feast."
"Bye Harry."
As everyone settled at their respective tables, and the First Years were sorted Dumbledore cleared his throat and began announcing "before we begin I have a few announcements. First off the Forbidden Forest is forbidden to all students. Secondly I'd like to welcome back Professor Lupin, who has graciously accepted the Defense Against the Dark Arts position." Remus stood and gave a little smile, there were several cheers from the students. As Remus sat down Dumbledore continued. "I'd also like to introduce his assistant Sirius Black," Sirius stood up. "Whom you all know is an innocent man. And lastly I have the great honor of introducing Regan Potter and her son Liam. She is the twin sister of Harry Potter she will be joining the Gryffindor house, now give her a warm welcome. The entire hall although confused by Liam exploded in applause, with Gryffindor being the loudest. Harry moved over so that Regan could sit besides him.
"Let the Feast begin" proclaimed Dumbledore.
The food appeared and everyone started to dig in, almost every Gryffindor appeared to be interested in Regan. "So Regan," started Dean Thomas. "You're a mum?"
"Yeah," she replied slightly annoyed. "is everyone going to ask this question? God can't you think of something original?"
"Sorry," he replied.
"So what was growing up in America like? I've always wanted to go there. " Asked a bold Neville."
"It was growing up, I don't know how it differs from growing up in England."
"Oh-okay" replied Neville.
As the feast continued Harry notice that several of the Gryffindor boys were taking a good interest in Regan, he wondered if perhaps they thought that she might be an easy sort of girl. Just then he noticed Snape staring at the Gryffindor table, "I wonder what Snape could be planning?" Harry thought out loud.
"Oh you know," said Ron. "Probably more ways to give us homework, its terrible to think we have to take advanced Potions this year."
"Why?" asked Regan. "I think Potions is fascinating and I cant wait to start.
"Your sister's bonkers Harry." Replied Ron. "To think that Potions is fascinating."
"Actually I've found Professor Snape to be most helpful with my Potions. He's even allowed me to go to advanced Potions even though I haven't taken my O.W.L.s." Said Regan.
"Snape helpful?" Exclaimed Ron. "But you're a Gryffindor and he hates Gryffindors."
"Well you see," said Regan. "I'm not really a Gryffindor, I wasn't sorted, Dumbledore just thought it best with everything that's happened that I be placed with Harry."
"That's absolutely fascinating," said Hermoine. "Dumbledore has never done anything like that for anyone before."
"Well I'm special," replied Regan she didn't really feel comfortable with all the attention that she was getting.
At the Professor's table there were three sets of eyes watching the Gryffindor table. One in particular was Professor Snape who had his eyes on Regan, he noticed that she wasn't comfortable with the rest of the table, that she found their idle chatter useless. He knew that she was going to spice things up for the Gryffindor house and couldn't wait to see what happens.
"Harry no!" Regan said as Harry tried to slip Liam another chocolate tart.
"Aw, but he likes them." Said the aforementioned Harry.
"I don't care, all that sugar is bad for him and you're not the one that has to deal with the consequences if he gets sick."
"You're no fun," said Harry with a mock look of disappointment.
"You're right I'm a mom."
AS the feast ended and everyone going to their houses, Hermoine began to lead first years towards the Gryffindor Tower. Harry went with the Gryffindors and Regan went back to their quarters.
So as Harry and Ron began to share their summer experiences Ron asked a question, "so are you staying here in the tower?"
"Harry replied by saying "No I'm staying with Sirius and Regan, despite having the summer together we haven't gotten to know each other as well as we like.
"All right then Harry. Good luck."
Harry left and made his way back, making sure not to been seen. As he entered their apartments he found Regan in Liam's room unaware that he was watching her she was singing, "you are my sunshine my only sunshine, when you're not happy my skies are gray. You'll never know dear how much I love you so don't take my sunshine away." he felt a small twang of jealousy towards his nephew because he had never had that. He had never had any one to tuck him in and sing him to sleep. Harry watched as his sister kissed her son on the top of the head and told him that she loved him. She came out and was surprised to see Harry standing there, "oh hey."
"Hey," said Harry. "You know I envy him."
"And why is that?" Regan asked with a small smile.
"Because he has you, his mother. I was never tucked in like that or at least I don't remember."
"Aw Harry, go get you jimmies on."
"What?" He asked credulously.
"Go and put on your pajamas and wait for me."
"Ok," he said and went to his room to comply.
A few minutes after he had on his pajamas Regan walked in with a class of milk. "Here, drink this."
"What is it?" He asked taking the glass and surprised to find it warm.
"Warm milk," she said. "Now come on it will help you sleep. I give it to Liam when he cant sleep."
"Ok" he said before drinking it in three large gulps.
"Now get into bed," Harry did what he was told and Regan sat next to him on the edge and began to hum Bram's Lullaby.
"Regan what are you doing?" Harry asked yawning.
"Tucking you in, you never had it so now I'm giving it to you. Now shhh and go to sleep." She continued with her humming and soon Harry was fast asleep.
