Chapter 12:

Family

The next few days went well for everyone. Harry and Rhea spent a lot of time together and the entire gang got together to hear all the secrets of the trio's 7 years at Hogwarts. Ariadne and Rhea became great friends. They also found out Rhea could do wand-less magic, a power that was very rare, like parcel tongue. Dumbledore guessed she got the power from Voldemort and that he no longer had it.

It was now Christmas morning everyone woke up in the head dorm common room. They had transfigured the floor into one huge mattress. The entire group was opening their presents when Sirius Black came running up and hugged Harry.

"Happy Christmas Sirius!"

Rhea got up and stood beside Harry. Hermione and Ron joined her. Sirius let go of Harry and moved to hug Ron and Hermione when he got to Rhea he said,

"You must be Rhea, I'm so happy to finally meet you."

"It's good to meet you too. Now that I actually have a family to meet!" she said close to tears.

Sirius walked up to her and hugged her. She hugged him back. Draco, Ginny, Lavender, Ariadne, Mantha, and Lyric had no doubts that he was innocent now.

Sirius let go of her and said "I can see that the trio has grown, who are all of you?" Harry walked over to Ginny and put his arm around her,

"This is my girlfriend Ginny Weasley; Ron's sister."

Hermione walked over to Draco, "This is Draco Malfoy, my boyfriend."

"Really? After all the things you guys have told me?" asked Sirius.

"I wasn't that bad was I?" asked Draco.

"Yes, you were!" said Ron as he put his arm around Lavender,

"And this is my girlfriend, Lavender Brown."

"Oh, these are the new students from Scotland: Ariadne, Mantha, and Lyric." said Hermione.

"Well, it was mice to meet you all, but I have to go and see Dumbledore." said Sirius as he left.

They went back to opening presents. Mantha had just opened a gift from Hermione. It was a picture of three fairies dancing in the moonlight. She jumped up and hugged Hermione. As she was saying thank you, she jumped and got a glazed look in her eyes.

"Are you OK?" Hermione asked.

"Yea, yea, just holiday jitters I guess!" Mantha replied.

Mantha decided she would have to talk to her later. Draco got Hermione a Wizard camera that could become invisible for candid shots. She got him a CD player of his own.

After a snowball fight and lunch, Mantha asked Hermione to speak with her alone. Once they were away from the group Mantha said,

"You remember when I jumped earlier?"

"Yes,"

"Well, it wasn't just holiday jitters, I get premonitions."

"like a seer?"

"No, I only get good visions, and only through contact with someone."

"OK, so you jumped because you had a premonition?"

"Yes, and I don't know exactly how to say this, but I think you're pregnant." Mantha said hesitantly.

"I thought you only saw good premonitions?" was all Hermione said before she passed out.
