Chapter one
The O.W.L. results
Harry had had the worst summer, and that was defiantly saying something for him. He was finishing up a potions essay that wasn't going very well, if only he had the results of his O.W.L.s back, he'd know if he had to do it or not. He'd also know if he had any chance of becoming an Auror, which he thought he had no chance of even if he did get into the N.E.W.T.s potion class he'd probably fail anyway, he thought.
"Well, that's as good as it's gonna g-get" said Harry in a yawn. He rolled up the parchment and threw it into his trunk, and then fell onto his bed.
Before he could close his eyes, the window of his bedroom was thrown open and three owls emerged, one very official looking barn owl, that he had never seen before, one that he knew as Errol, and one that he knew as Pig or Pigwidgeon. He went over to the barn owl and pulled off the letter, and opened it, it was his O.W.L. test results "Finally" he mumbled as he opened it, it said
Dear Mr. Potter,
We are pleased to inform that your O.W.L. test results are in, and these results are enclosed along with this letter, I hope you pleased with your test results.
Sincerely,
Professor Vanessa Marchbanks
Head O.W.L. Examiner
"Please let me pass, please, please" he chanted as he pulled the second paper out of the envelope
Defense against O Care of magical E the Dark arts Creatures Potions E Divination D Astronomy A Charms O Transfiguration E History of A Magic
A step closer to becoming an Auror, he thought then moved on to the next owl, Errol. He took the letter from the owl, the second before he hit the ground, Harry figured that this was from Mrs. Weasley because Pig, Ron's owl was also here, he was right it was Mrs. Weasley.
Dear Harry,
I hope your well, I know it will sound a tad strange but we are still at headquarters sorting out some affairs there is some here you need to meet, she is going to start her sixth year at Hogwarts along with you and Ron next year, it's sort of a surprise, but I'm sure Ron will tell you more about her than I. We are coming to pick you up tomorrow at 12 noon, if the muggles like it or not, the ministry lent us cars because the floo-network is down, so they agree to lend us some cars. See you tomorrow dear.
Love, Mrs. Weasley
"A surprise?" he repeated. He took the final letter, the one from Ron and opened it; it was in Ron's messy hand writing so it was hard to read.
Dear Harry,
How you doing mate, I reckon mum's told you there's a girl here I'm not aloud to tell you too much about her all I can is she's like you in more ways than one, Hermione's coming tomorrow too, Harry you are really going to like her, I know you'll like her at least I think I do, she's had a hard life like you, well you'll see what I mean tomorrow.
Ron
Harry was more confused than ever, he ran around his room throwing almost everything he owned onto the floor in front of his school trunk. He was leaving privet weeks earlier than he intended but he was going back to Sirius's house.
Before he started to put everything in the trunk he saw the mirror Sirius had given to him the previous year. He found the stray pieces and put them in the trunk pocket he turned the mirror over and read the inscription "this is a two-way mirror. I've got the other. If you need to speak to me, just say my name into it; you'll appear in my mirror and I'll be able to talk in yours. James and I used to use to use them when we were in separate detentions. This is what I should have used to get in touch with him"
He threw every thing into his trunk closed it and collapsed onto his bed, he fell asleep within seconds, and slept the whole night.
When he woke up the next mourning he got dressed quickly and ran down stairs to tell the muggles he'd be leaving much earlier than they could have imagined but when he got there all he found was a note.
Potter,
Went out be back around 9 tonight don't touch anything, we'll know if you do
Uncle Vernon
"Well, that went well" he said. He looked at his watch "9 o'clock, 3 hours". The rest of the afternoon passed quickly. By 11 o'clock his trunk was down stairs and he was sitting on top of it. At 11:30 he wrote a short note to the Dursleys that said....
Left for my "world" be back after school next year
-Harry
He figured out that he had forgotten Hedwig, his snowy owl, upstairs in his room. He got half way up the stairs when he herd a knock at the door "Harry, it's Lupin, can I come in?" said Lupin. "The door's open I have to get Hedwig I forgot her upstairs" said Harry. He ran up the rest of the stairs when the door opened.
He opened the door and their was Hedwig sitting in her cage on his desk, he dashed over to her and picked up her cage and ran down the stairs again and there stood Lupin, Tonks, and Mad-Eye Moody looking around the hall way.
"Are you ready Potter?" asked Moody. "Yeah" said Harry sighing. Lupin looked happier and healthier than he had ever looked before. "You really er- happy, can I ask, why?" asked Harry. "Well- you'll see why, Harry" said Lupin mysteriously.
Harry looked at Tonks whose hair was now dark blue and curly, who was now carrying his trunk out the door. "Are you coming Harry?" she asked. "Yeah!" he said quickly shifting Hedwig cage under his arms. "Harry, Ron, and Hermione are in the second car we are in the last and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are in the first car."
Harry walked over to the second car and opened the door. It was a large blue room with six beds in it. Ron and Hermione were sitting on a bed talking to a girl he had never seen before on the opposite bed with Ginny. He walked in and closed the door, when the door opened all their heads turned.
"Harry!" yelped Hermione "it's so good to see you!". "How are you, mate?" Ron asked. "I'm fine" he answered "er- who's that?" he asked. "This is Colleen, Colleen Black" answered Hermione. "Black?" Harry asked. "Yes" she answered simply. "Are you-?" but before he could finished she interrupted "related to Sirius? I'm his er- daughter". He felt his mouth open in astonishment.
Just then did he realized that she had Sirius's shaggy black hair, A remotely sunken-face (like Sirius had when he had just gotten out of Azkaban), and jagged lightning bolt scar, like his own. Suddenly he felt a pleasant prickle, he put his hand on his forehead to sooth it and when he looked up he saw Colleen was doing the same to her own scar.
"Is yours prickling?" she asked him quickly. He was shocked; could we possibly be connected by these scars? "Yeah" he said quickly "that's really weird". She nodded but stayed silent.
They walked over to the beds, she resumed the place were she was sitting and Harry sat down next Ron. "Sirius never told me he had a daughter or that he was married for that matter" said Hermione. "Well he was told I was dead, every one in England thought I was dead, except Dumbledore, it was for my own safety, for the world's own safety-" Ron cut her off. "The world's own safety, what do you mean?" "You don't know about the prophecy?" she asked.
"I do but it concerns only Voldemort and me, or I thought" he asked confused. "Didn't you hear the whole prophecy?" she asked. She looked through her robes for something, she gave up and pulled out her wand and held out her other hand "Accio Prophecy" a scroll of parchment flew into her hands, "I'm not registered in England so I'm not breaking any laws" she said. "Where are you registered?" asked Harry. "America, that's were I was sent after my mum died, because my dad was in Azkaban" she said as she opened the scroll.
"Do you want to hear the prophecy?" she asked. "Alright" they all said together. "The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches....Born to those who have defied him thrice, Born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal" she pointed to Harry's scar "but he will have powers the dark lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives....The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord will be born as the seventh month dies....The one marked with a great scar from birth...born on the ninth day in the fourth month will be marked as the prize with a scar from the dark lord, to bare the child of greatest magic known to wizard kind..."she looked up they were all looking at her in disbelief.
"Harry you're the...you're going to...?" said Ron confused, Harry nodded his head then gazed at Colleen. "Marked with a scar at birth?" he asked "where?" "here" she pulled down part of her skirt and revealed a scar that looked like a sun over a grave stone. "What is that?" asked Hermione. She pulled her skirt "I'm a resurrector" she said with a sigh. Ginny and Ron both opened there mouths Ginny spoke first "but there is only one resurrector a millennium" she said. "Resurrectors are only in the-the Snape line" Ron said quietly.
"You know my uncle Severus, don't you?" she asked with a laugh "all Snapes aren't bad, just most of them, my mum, Severus's sister Serena Snape, was very kind, and a really great person" she said quietly. "Just wondering but how do you know my uncle?" she asked curiously.
"He's potion master at Hogwarts" answered Hermione. "Always potion masters Snapes, you know, it's in our blood, but I want to be like my dad, defensive magic, I'm good at that too" she said quickly
"Good qualities for someone who wants to become an Auror" said Harry quietly. "I know that's what I want to be when I get out of school" she said. "Harry what did you get on your O.W.L.s?" asked Ron. Harry shuffled through his robes to find the results, when he found them he handed them to Ron then turned back to Colleen.
"Resurrector doesn't that mean you can bring someone back from the dead?" he asked. Everyone was now looking at her. "Er, yea" she said slowly "I've come to help you and me too, I couldn't do it where I was because I didn't have the proper potions and equipment, but now I will Harry, you will not just have Sirius back" she smiling at him "you'll have your parents back too" she said. He smiled, stood up, walked over to her, and hugged her.
"Do you want a taste of I mean?" she asked. They all nodded
"Harry do you have the mirror my dad gave you last year?" she asked
"Yeah" he answer
"Could you give it to me? Please?" she ask quickly
Yes he wanted to answer but before he could the door opened and he heard a voice called "we're hear" the voice was Lupin's.
They all stood up. Ginny, Ron and Colleen moved toward the door Harry (who was still smiling) found his trunk and Hedwig and edged toward the door.
When they entered the Black house Harry noticed it was much cleaner than when he had last been there.
"Harry, Hermione put your things upstairs and come back down for lunch" whispered Mrs. Weasley not wanting to wake up Mrs. Black.
They nodded and Harry and Hermione headed upstairs Ron, Ginny, and Colleen headed for the kitchen, for lunch.
By the time Harry and Hermione got down to lunch everyone was down there waiting for them before they eat. Ginny was sitting on the right of Colleen; Harry took the seat on the left side of Colleen, next to Tonks.
Lupin was across the table from Colleen next to Ron. Lupin said "You are so much like your father, Colleen". She laughed and said "what do you mean this-" she turned into a Grim, a great black dog, and then turned back into a person again. Lupin laughed "didn't know you could do that, another way you're like him". "Well, that's in my blood all I had to do was endure taking the first potion and the pain of transformations".
"It's nothing like becoming a werewolf, once a month, becoming something you can't control" said Lupin. "I'm sure, but it does hurt and that potion is so viol." "Wait" Harry interrupted "my dad was an Animagi, too" he said. "That means you need to do the beginning steps and endure the transformations" she said. He nodded and began to eat his food.
"When is my uncle coming?" Colleen asked Mrs. Weasley. "He's coming with Dumbledore right-" they were interrupted by a distinctive crack of someone apparating "now, I think dear" the kitchen door opened and there stood Dumbledore and Snape clutching a pouch in his left hand. Colleen ran up to him and hugged him, for the first time he saw Snape actually feel emotion, because he hugged her and held her for a moment then let go of her.
"Did you bring them?" she asked quickly. "Of course" he handed her the pouch "but I don't know why you want to bring black back". She gave him a hard cold stare "he's my dad and I want to meet him". Harry had never heard anyone talk to Snape like that before.
He sat back down and whispered to Harry "he's really going to go berserk when he sees your dad" they both laughed.
They went to the drawing room after lunch were they sat down on couches Colleen opened the bag finally and pulled a piece of parchment out of her robes, and rummaged through it until she found what she wanted, "hair of a sphinx", she set it down on the table. She read further on, on the list "Hungarian Horn tail horn" she placed it on the table, she made her way down the list and pulled everything out of the bag, and was ready to make the potion.
She started to pour the potions in carefully and drop the other ingredients in one by one and then stir it slowly. "Done!" she said quickly. "Can I see that?" Hermione asked quietly. "Sure" she said handing the parchment over Hermione. "This is so difficult" she said reading it quickly, "more difficult than polyjuice potion" she looked at Professor Snape. "She has Snape blood, potions is our..." "I have Black blood too" said Colleen lighting and arranging candles on the floor in front of the only bare wall.
"Four candles Colleen? no not Potter, I won't endure that again" said Snape quickly. "You will endure Potter and Black because they are becoming teachers at Hogwarts, joined defense against the dark arts teachers, Serena will assist you in potions, and if I remember correctly Lily was rather skilled at Charms" said Dumbledore. Ron, Ginny, Hermione, Harry, and Colleen looked at each other with a very pleased look.
"I need their wands, all four of them" she said quietly. "I'll call for you're father's dear" said Mrs. Weasley "Accio Wand" she called and Sirius's came flying threw the window and landed in Mrs. Weasley's hand "there you go dear" she handed her his wand. "Here" Lupin showed her two wands "James" he gave her the one in his right hand, "Lily" he said as he handed her the one in the left. She turned to Snape "where's my mum's?" he shuffled through his robes and her Serena's wand.
"Draw a door to the other side" she said as she dipped two fingers into the potion and drew a door on the wall behind the candles. "Knock three times and call the person's name, she knocked three times and yelled "Sirius Black".
When the door opened and Sirius walked out Colleen ran into his arms. "Colleen, I haven't you since you were a year old!" he said. Harry was astonished, it was Sirius, the man he saw die only a month earlier.
"Alright" she said letting go of Sirius "I have other people to rise from the dead." She knocked on the door three times and shouted "Serena Black!" the door opened and a pretty black hair witch, who slightly resembled Snape walked out. She ran to Colleen and hugged her "mum!" Harry now smiling again because he knew the next person who walked out of that door was going to be his father.
"Nervous, Harry?" Sirius asked "You shouldn't be, he's been wanting to meet you....since you were born, so has your mum she loves you, more than anything." "Dumbledore wants you and my dad to teach Defense against the dark arts this year" said Harry Sirius raised his eyebrow "That's great!" he said.
Harry heard Colleen shout "James Potter!" Harry's stomach lurched when he saw the door open and someone step out. He then heard him talk for the first time "Harry, let me look at you!" Harry walked over to his father and then heard Sirius say "what did I say does he look exactly like you" he nodded and then said "except the eyes" he said smiling "those are Lily's eyes, speaking of Lily where is she?"
"I'll bring her back to life if you would just shut up!" screamed Colleen. "All right all right" said Sirius laughing. For the final time he heard Colleen knock three times and then shout "Lily Potter!" The door opened one last time a witch with thick red hair and electric green eyes. She walked out and closed the door, the second her eyes met Harry's she ran over to him, and hugged and kissed him until he was soar. "Harry, I love you so much, I missed you. Oh my Sirius you were right he looks just like James!" she whined. "Except the eyes" added Sirius "those are your eyes, Lily."
The O.W.L. results
Harry had had the worst summer, and that was defiantly saying something for him. He was finishing up a potions essay that wasn't going very well, if only he had the results of his O.W.L.s back, he'd know if he had to do it or not.

"Dumbledore wants you and my dad to teach Defense against the dark arts this year" said Harry Sirius raised his eyebrow "That's great!" he said.
Harry heard Colleen shout "James Potter!" Harry's stomach lurched when he saw the door open and someone step out. He then heard him talk for the first time "Harry, let me look at you!" Harry walked over to his father and then heard Sirius say "what did I say does he look exactly like you" he nodded and then said "except the eyes" he said smiling "those are Lily's eyes, speaking of Lily where is she?"
"I'll bring her back to life if you would just shut up!" screamed Colleen. "All right all right" said Sirius laughing. For the final time he heard Colleen knock three times and then shout "Lily Potter!" The door opened one last time a witch with thick red hair and electric green eyes. She walked out and closed the door, the second her eyes met Harry's she ran over to him, and hugged and kissed him until he was soar. "Harry, I love you so much, I missed you. Oh my Sirius you were right he looks just like James!" she whined. "Except the eyes" added Sirius "those are your eyes, Lily."
