Again, I do not own Harry Potter or anything that is related to Harry Potter. This is simply a hobby to pass time. We all know J.K. Rowling owns it and one would be quite conceited to even think they were to amount to the genius of J.K. Thank you. Please read and review!
Chapter 4
Previously:
"Harry if you could," Sirius motioned for Harry to sit in the chair across the table from Arylla, "there are some things of great importance that you need to know before you go back to school. You see Arylla here, well she is... how do I put this? She is..."
"Well, Harry, how do I put this? Well you two are cousins. Sorry you are actually second cousins. Harry your father and Arylla's mother are cousins." Sirius addressed the two very wary of how they would react to this news. He was well aware that neither of them would fully understand why they were not told this earlier but he was prepared as much as he could be in this situation. Harry was the first to react to this, "okay, well how come no one has told us before?"
"Well you see Harry, Arylla's mother is a squib, this putting Arylla in enough danger with Voldemort as it is we tried not to bring too much attention to her. I know what you are thinking; Voldemort probably already knows that she is related to you. He however, does not. Seeing as Emila is a squib there is no record of her anywhere is the wizarding world. Not to mention that they live in Ireland. Now since Voldemort is back Emila has asked if Arylla were able to stay here with us for added protection. We have also put the rest of the family in a safe house seeing as none of them have magical powers."
"Well, it is very nice to offically meet you, Arylla. How about after dinner Ron, Hermione and I show you around Grimmauld? Unless of course you have already seen it all?"
"Oh! That would be lovely, thank you very much. I have only seen the kitchen and the corridor from the front door to here." Arylla giggled a little as she glanced towards where Ron and Hermione were standing. "I have seen you both at school before right?"
"Yes probably. You are in Ravenclaw correct?" Hermione, of course knew this already but felt as though she should be couteous. "Yes I am. I know you of course Hermione, brightest witch of our age. You are almost gaining as much popularity as Harry." Hermione blushed a little and Arylla giggled again. Ron just stood there and continued to stare, until she addressed him. "You must be Ron?"
"Umm... uhhh... yes, yes I am; nice to meet you." Ron stuck out his hand in a very professional manner. Arylla giggled again and shook his hand right back giving him a sly grin. "It is nice to meet you all! I am very gracious that you have all welcomed me into your home and I hope that we will have a good year."
"Well now that all the introductions are done, what say we eat?"
"Good idea Sirius and how about you help me to put the food on the table?"
Dinner was exceptionally lavish tonight, and by the time everyone was finished eating it was around 9 o'clock. "Well children, seeing as all the cleaning in the house is finished and there is still some time before school, I was thinking that you may all enjoy a night out? In the muggle world of course. What is it called, a movie, you know in a theatre with popcorn? Is that right Harry?"
"Yes Mrs. Weasley. That sounds wonderful, who will be coming with us?"
"I think Lupin and I will accompany you guys. If that is alright? We will keep out distance and try not to embarrass you too much." Tonks laughed knowing that the children would much rather be on their own but knew they couldn't and would rather have herself and Lupin as their escorts.
"You guys will not embarrass us, no one knows us in the muggle world." Hermione was excited about going to a movie; she had not been to one for a while.
"Well then, you four head up to get ready and are down in 15 minutes. We do not want to be late. Hurry up! Molly, need any help? Oh gosh sorry! Perhaps I will just go in the living room and wait." Tonks had knocked over the ceramic dish from their pudding causing it to crash to the floor. She blushed and left the kitchen.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Arylla were ready in 5 minutes and were waiting for Lupin and Tonks now.
"Lupin, Tonks? Come on we don't want to be late!" Hermione yelled from the front door. Lupin and Tonks came around the corner both looking a little flushed. The four kids all glanced at each other before bursting out laughing.
"Uh... sorry we were... uh... helping Molly finish the cleaning. Yeah, we were helping clean. Oh alright enough from you lot. Let's go" Lupin knew the kids did not believe him but at least he tried. So the six of them left for the theatre.
A/N: Sorry nothing overly exciting in this chapter but time has to pass somehow. I promise next chapter will be at Hogwarts. That is were the juicy stuff begins! Please read and review!
