Chapter 4: First Sight

"What?" Said Harry startled.
"You're…my…brother…" Artemis stuttered.
"I don't have any sisters."

Artemis blinked, she wondered what to say, when there was a knock at the door.
The bedroom door opened and there stood a man who looked really pretty, but he seemed a right mess.

"Hello Remus, what are you doing here?" Hermione said, standing up.
"Hello everyone, I am here to see the wonderful Artemis." Remus replied.
"I don't know about wonderful..." Laughed Artemis.
"Ah you must be the delight I have been told about, I would like to speak to you please, I believe you would like a lot of questions answered, and I am here to answer most of them."

Artemis felt a few butterflies in her stomach; Remus was the most beautifulest man she had ever seen! A bit old, but perfectly sculptured.

"Umm, ok." She replied.

Remus took Artemis into his bedroom (as he was staying at the Weasley's until the start of school), Artemis sat down next to Remus on his bed, and she crossed her legs and put her arms down beside her.
"Let me introduce myself better to you, I am Remus, but at school I am known as Mr Lupin, I am the defence against the dark arts teacher, I'm a werewolf and I am 42 years old."

'Just a bit too old for me then huh.' Artemis thought to herself.

"That's nice; can I ask my questions now please?" Artemis answered.
"Fire away."
"Ok question one: am I Harry's sister, question number two: why do I have the thing on my arm, question number three why didn't you let me join Hogwarts at 11 like you're supposed to?"
"Lets take it a question at a time now hey, righto question one, yes you are Harry's sister, question number two you have a pentagram there because you are special, Harry has a lighting bolt on his forehead, nobody knows the exact reason why you two got these marks but you will eventually find out, and question number three the answer is because we didn't know if it was safe for you to come to the school just yet, Voldemort is after you and Harry, its been his mission for over 3 years now to kill you both, he just hasn't had the strength, we believe its safer for you to come to Hogwarts now than it was before, for reasons will be enclosed." Remus said.

Artemis just stared at him, how could he sound so calm about this prat called Voldemort coming to kill her?

"Oh ok then." Said Artemis.

She felt some tears leaking out of her eyes, she didn't like the idea of being lied to for 14 years, even if it was for protection, she wished she got to know her parents before they died.
Remus leaned over to Artemis and hugged her, even though she was crying she felt her heart pound against his, she felt a little flushed, he was so soft, so gentle, she rested her hair upon his shoulder and cry on it for a little while, now and again Remus would whisper; 'shhh, its ok now' 'let it all out' 'I know how you feel' ect ect ect.

It was dinner time, everyone was round the dinner table scoffing down their meal, Fred flicked some mash at George, while Artemis and Ron were talking about Snape.

"He works at Hogwarts?" Artemis said, a little surprised.
"Yeah, he's so moody, nobody likes him." Ron said, putting some peas in his mouth.
"Hmm, I'm still mad at him, but I do like him, he's my uncle after all."
"He's you're what? You're related to Snape? Ha-ha sucker!"
"He's a nice guy once you get to know him."
"I bet you will get put into Slytherin."
"What's Slytherin?"
"Its one of the four houses at Hogwarts, you have Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin." Replied Remus.
"Wow, what lot are you guys in?" Artemis asked.
"We are all in Gryffindor, nobody likes the Slytherin's apart from the Slytherin's themselves."
"And yet you say i might be in Slytherin."
"Well you might be, we don't know how evil you are, as long as you don't team up with Malfoy, your ok." Said Harry.
"Malfoy…"
"Arge, Draco, he has smooth blond hair, and he's a bastered."
"OI, no swearing at the table!" Shouted Molly.
"Sorry, but it's true."
"I think I've seen him before, I was getting some robes and he was looking at me through the shop window." Artemis said.
"His farther is worse, everyone in Draco's family is evil, don't go near them." Hermione said.
"Meh." Said Artemis.

Everyone continued eating their dinner.
