Harry sat on his bed taking a break from packing. He picked up the pictures of his sister that Dumbledore had taken.

He noticed that her shirt had a picture of Sirius on it, which made him smile in spite of himself since Dumbledore had said that he was her godfather too, along with Lupin.

He also noticed her eyes, they were hazel on the inside, then turned to his emerald green on the outside.

He finished packing and wrote two identical letters to Ron and Hermione that said:

Want to go on a trip?


Harry sat on the hot bench watching the six people play tennis, two years before he was suppose to be. He wished that he hadn't been stupid and worn a black shirt.

He sat there just watching her play for about an hour and getting a sunburn.

"Why does it have to be so bloody hot here?" he muttered under his breath as they all stopped playing and took a water break.

Finally, someone noticed him and it just happened to be his sister so he wasn't really worried about her seeing him. They both sat and just stared at each other till one of the other girls asked her a question and she looked away.

Alyssa sat very happily between Mandee and Gary eating her baked potato, but poor Alex ended up being their waitress ("Well it is her parents restraunt"Justin had said and Alex "accidentally" forgot to bring his food out to her for another five mins).

Everyone else ate and tried not to laugh at the looks Justin was giving Alex. After they finished eating they tried to pay but barley succeeded at it since Alex's parents were so nice.

On the way back to Alyssa's house Beth didn't talk much until Alyssa started a conversation very suddenly.

"So do you think there is any excuse that we could use to get out of band camp?"

"Erm…probably not."
"What about…..hmm…"

"Shingles?"

"NO! Trust me I don't want to go through that again! I'd rather have band camp all year instead – who's car is that?" she said looking at the car in her driveway as Beth pulled up to the sidewalk in front of her house.

"I don't know, but call me if you want to play before band camp tomorrow, k?" Beth said obviously not caring about the mysterious car.

"Kay…." Alyssa got out of the car and ran inside and into her room before her mom could stop her, changed into her jeans, and grabbed the first shirt she could find (which just happened to be her Sirius shirt), and went to the den where she could hear her mom talking to someone.

Alyssa walked into the room and her mom looked up at her nervously.

"Alyssa! There you are, I was about to call Beth's cell phone. What took you so long?

"We went to Alex's restraunt for lunch." She said looking at the older lady sitting on the couch.

"This is Mrs.Williams."

"Hi," she said shaking her hand.

'Hello!" Mrs. Williams said smiling at her.

Alyssa went and sat down at the computer but faced the couch.

"So what's going on?" she asked looking at her mom.

"Well some reason one of my friends from college, who I haven't spoken to in years said in her will that she wanted me to take her son in if she died so….do you mind?"

"Uh no!" Alyssa was really surprised and tried not to act it.

"Oh don't worry! You'll like him he is your age too." Mrs. Williams said smiling at her again.

"So when should he be getting here?" her mom asked.

"Very late tonight around twelve since he is flying from England and all."

"Where in England?" Alyssa asked very interested now.

"From a place near London," she said and then winked at her.

"I wonder if she knows more about me then I think…" Alyssa thought.
