" What do you make of all that, " Ron asked Harry and Hermione
" Just that Harry's the heir of Gryffindor and that he has fantastic power, " Hermione summarized.
" What about you Harry? " Ron now asked him.
" Harry merely shrugged at the question not knowing what to say, He just wanted to get to his dormitory, they walked in silence for a few when Hermione spoke up:
" Um Harry are you going to show us that picture " She asked him hoping to get him off the subject of his powers for the time being.
" Yeah I was.. er am " Harry suddenly remembered. " Come on let's hurry. "
Breathing out a sigh of relief Ron and Hermione as they accompanied Harry to the portrait of the Fat Lady in a silk pink dress.
" Password " She asked them.
" Er… " Harry said blankly " Any one know the password. "
" Um… No " Hermione and Ron said in unison.
" Great how are we going to get into the common room " Harry said angrily
" I can help you there " said a feminine voice behind them.
Turning to see who said that, they saw Aliea Potter walking up behind then, Her long auburn hair flowing behind her, as she neared, Harry gazed into her eyes and staring back at him were the same green eyes that he looked at over the years countless times from his photo album.
" You can? " Ron asked.
" Yeah I can help you, the password is Hungarian Horntail, " she told them, when she did the portrait swung open to reveal the Gryffindor common room.
" Thanks a lot, I'm Hermione Granger by the way, " Hermione said introducing herself.
" Oh sorry, forgive me I'm Aliea Potter, " Aliea said.
" I'm Ron Weasley, " Ron said as he introduced himself as well.
" I'm Harry Potter, " Harry said cautiously not knowing how she would react.
" R-r-really " Aliea stuttered her green eyes went wide in shock.
" Really, really " Harry confirmed.
" Um, what year, are you in three in " Aliea asked changing the subject.
" We're all in sixth year " Hermione answered her " And your first year right "
" Yeah I am " Aliea told them.
" Its getting late we better get inside before we get in trouble " Hermione advised.
All three of them agreed, walking thought the doorway into the common room. Taking seats at the far end of the common room the bid Aliea goodnight as they took their seats next to the fire.
" I like her " Ron said.
" Don't get any ideas Ron " Hermione told him.
" Whatch ya mean ' don't get any ideas ' " Ron said innocently.
" You know what I mean, " Hermione said sarcastically.
" I'll be right back, I need to get the picture " Harry said getting up.
Harry walked toward the boy staircase, up the stairs and through to the boy's dormitory, their luggage had already been brought up. Harry dashed over to his trunk, rummaging through it he found his photo album. Slamming his trunk lid down, he dashed back down to the common room and took his seat again and began to flip through it finding the picture of his parents wedding then handed it to Ron and Hermione.
All they could do was gap at the picture, then at Aliea who was still down stairs then back to the picture.
" This is unbelievable, your right she does look like your mother " Hermione said. Ron just didn't say anything.
" This is too weird, I mean this girl comes to Hogwarts, with the same green eyes same last name, and she looks just like your mother, like you look like your father " Hermione stated
" What should I do? " Harry asked.
" I dunno maybe you could contact Sirius about this " Ron finally spoke up.
" Good idea, I'll do that tomorrow after classes " Harry said " Now lets get some sleep its gonna be a long day "
" Right goodnight " Hermione agreed getting up, Stretching then heading for the girl's staircase.
Harry closed the photo album, got up and waited for Ron to accompany him, almost reaching the stairs he heard someone call his name turning to see who it was.
" Hey, Harry " Aliea said " Turning in so early "
" Yeah I'm beat " Harry said
" Really, too bad, " Aliea said, " Well good night, "
" Night Aliea " Harry told her then went up stairs with Ron.
" So… Starting a friendship now are we " Ron teased.
" Yeah, yeah " Harry said yawning
Going over to his four poster undressed and got into his pajamas got into bed took off his glasses set them on the beside table laying down he pulled the hangings closed and the covers up. Closing his eyes Harry drifted in to a peaceful sleep.
