Chapter 3 – the prank
They both woke up in the hospital wing at the same time. (Harry put on his glasses) they sat there staring at each other until Camellia stood and walked up to the end of her bed and seemed hesitant to go any further. Harry got up and did the same. She held out her right hand and smiled "I'm Camellia", her smile was infectious. He smiled and said "I'm Harry" taking the hand. She smiled again and playfully teased "you fainted" "I did not Harry said indignantly "I passed out" he smiled again damn you could not be cranky around this girl and then thought "you were stunned how did you know?" "I heard Poppy and Sev talking" she replied "Poppy, Sev?" Harry questioned "madam Pomphry and professor Snape" she smiled "oh" "I didn't think the git would let anyone but other teachers call him by his first name" he said almost to himself. "He has been teaching me since I was 3, I used to call him Uncle Sev but now it's just Sev ." "How long do you reckon we were in here?" "From what I gather 3 days, I'm hungry wanna eat?" Camellia asked "sure why not" Harry smiled he was gonna get along with his sister.
-TWO DAYS EARLIER – The Most Noble and Ancient House Of Black- "WHAT"! Ron, Hermione, Fred, George and Ginny yelled. "Harry has a sister and you didn't tell him!" "Bloody hell" "Ronald Weasley wash your mouth out!" his mother said getting angry. "What's her name?" Ginny interjected seeing her mother's mood change. "Camellia" Molly said huffily and proceeded to explain the circumstances in which Camellia came to be in Dumbledore's care "can we go and see her?" Fred asked. But before Molly could answer Remus Lupin entered the convocation and said "I don't see why not" they all proceeded to go up stairs to pack chattering loud enough to set Mrs Black off again. They took the knight buss to Hogsmeade with an order guard of Lupin, Moody and Tonks because four out of the five children could do magic outside of Hogwarts. (Although Fred and George could hardly be considered children for much longer) the ride was relatively uneventful. When they arrived they stoped off at the hogshead for a butter beer and then they went up to the castle as they were passing the lake they saw two people playfully wrestling and splashing. And then they saw - or rather herd- professor Snape "stop splashing you two it's bad enough that I have to babysit both of you, but I refuse to get wet!" "Oh really" Harry muttered "expelearmus!" he yelled suddenly disarming his potions master "wingardim leviosa" Camellia yelled brandishing her own wand. "she wouldn't" Ron muttered "I think she would" Hermione said, by this time Snape was hanging 10 feet above the surface of the lake and bellowing to be put down. Harry and Camellia had swum to the edge of the lake and were laughing their heads off. Finally Camellia said "as you wish Uncle Sev" and lifted the incantation while he was still hanging over the water, then she and Harry ran. (a very smart idea, the look on Snape's face was enough to make a first year cry) he swam to the bank and sent a curse towards the two running Potters, but before it hit Camellia tunned around and shouted "reflector!" and the curse bounced back and nocked Snape back into the water. By this point Ron was Rowling on the ground laughing so hard that he was crying, Fred, George and Ginny were doubled up clutching their sides while Hermione was clutching her mouth trying not to let her hysterical laughter escape. The adults were trying to set an example, but failing miserably. Even old madeye Moody was having a good chuckle "constant vigilance" he suddenly bellowed at Snape. He stalked away furious.
