1Chapter Five: Discovering Demeter

Again, I only own the Character Demeter, no one else

Harry asked Hermione and Ron to help him find information about Demeter. It's been one week already since Voldemort has been spotted, and there has been no sign that Demeter has returned, and even Tonks is a little worried about her. Hermione looked at what was in The Heroic Tales of Young Aurors, but it only talked about how Demeter had fought off countless villians, was the youngest to invent seven spells of her own, and her life-long ambition is to have the whole good wizarding world reunited without any Dark Magic. That seemed to be all the information anyone could find, until Ron suggested they look in the trophy cases in the school, and possible the school records. Still, they found no school record, nothing. It seems like Demeter didn't even go to school.

"We can't rule out that she's never been to school, there are other wizarding schools in this world." Hermione pointed out.

"True, but why would she then be a part of our Ministry of Magic if she didn't go to Hogwarts?" Said Ron.

"I don't know, but even still, you can't rule that out." said Hermione.

All this time, Harry had practically given up all hope at discovering just who Demeter was, when suddenly, there was a bright, golden light shining from a spot on the table in the common room. Harry, Ron, and Hermione ran over, and Harry found it was his picture frame that was bright gold. He notice something was beginning to show up on the empty picture. Finally, the light died away and it was a picture of a family. At a closer look he noticed it was his parent, and Sirius, and the two other older people, who were obviously his grandparents. His mother was holding a baby in her arms, it looked like a new born. "That must be you" said Hermione. Then he noticed his father was holding a young girl, around the age of seven, who had medium length, jet-black curly hair that almost covered her face, and bright blue eyes, not like his and his mother's eyes, but like his father's. "It can't be" said Ron. Harry couldn't believe it either. How can this be possible? He thought.

"Oh my god Harry, Demeter is your sister! How is that possible? How could you not have known about this?" Hermione said.

Harry thought that did seem rather strange. So many question started filling his mind; Where had she been when Voldemort attacked? Why wasn't she dead also? Was there some sort of prophecy about her too, that she would live aswell? There was nothing he could do now, it was too late and, honestly, there was too much going on inside his head for anything else. He said goodnight to Ron and Hermione and went off to bed.

While he was asleep, he had this amazing dream. He was living in a cottage, in the country. He was only about 10 years old, and he was running around the living room, playing with his father. When he looked up, he saw a Hogwarts Certificate of Graduation with the name Demeter Potter underneath. Then this tall girl, with long black hair, now straight, came running out to his mother screaming, "Mom! I can't get the back of my hair to stay straight! This stupid potion is all and it wasn't enough! What am I going to do, he'll be here any minute!" Then his mother calmed down Demeter and got out the extra potion, she got just in case. Harry began to run over to Demeter, who picked him up and swung him around. The whole family was laughing and having a great time. Then suddenly, the cottage melted away and he was the same age again, but walking through a dark, cold cave. He heard the horrible screams of a girl coming towards him, and he began to run to the sound, but he just couldn't make it, and he heard the evil laughter of Voldemort as he screamed, "He's coming, your brother is coming for you, and now I can finally kill off the entire Potter family. You thought you could save him, but instead it's your fault, and now you both will die..."

Harry woke up with a start. He was sweating all over and breathing rather hard for being asleep. He looked over at Ron, and saw him fast asleep. He tried to go back to sleep, but he couldn't, and he knew exactly what he was going to do in the morning.

The next morning, Harry didn't even go to breakfast, instead he looked for Tonks. Finally he found her, talking to another Auror, and pulled her aside.

"I know Tonks." Harry said.

A look of total surprise, and fear, fell over Tonks face.

"You, know... but how, how could you possibly... she gave you clues, didn't she! I knew it, she can't keep anything to herself." Said Tonks.

"How can you be angry with her? All she wanted was to be near me, she just wanted to have someone who cares about her. She's cared about me all this time, she's risked her life to save mine, and you're angry!" Harry yelled. He hardly knew who Demeter was, but since finding out she was his only family left, he felt a strong defense.

"Harry, you don't understand, she was suppose to keep it secret. It was the only way to keep both of you safe." said Tonks.

"But, I only found out last night, it's not like anyone can discover that out." said Harry. "Besides, that's not the point, the point is Demeter isn't here to tell me, so you're in charge of that."

"Tell you what?" Asked Tonks.

"Tell me about Demeter." demanded Harry.

Tonks was a little hesitant, but agreed. She took Harry into an empty classroom and began to explain to story about his long-lost sister.

"You see Harry, it was a difficult situation. Demeter was born at the rise of Voldemort, so even though she was young, she was being taught defense spells just in case. Once the prophecy about you had been discovered, Dumbledore took quick action. The first thing your parents did was send Demeter to live with your grandparents, who ended up moving to America in order for your sister to be safe. Once she was eleven, she started school at The Salem School of Witchcraft, but once she graduated, she went back to England because she knew you would be starting school soon. Her grandparents warned her not to get involved in your life. But she did, in very secretive ways. You know Hermione's cat Crookshanks? Well, Demeter is an animagus, as you already know, and Crookshanks is a very special cat. Since Demeter couldn't help you the first two years you were in school because she was trying to become an Auror, she asked Crookshanks to keep an eye on you. Yes Harry, Demeter's animagus is a cat, well actually, she's more of a mountain cat, but a cat none the less."

"So, she's been helping me all this time?" asked Harry.

"Yes, she has, at great risk to her life and yours. She practically flipped when she heard you were to be in the Tri-Wizard Tournament. Of course, she wanted to be there to help you, but we couldn't risk her getting so close, but once You-Know-Who returned, the idea of keeping you two a part sort of flew out the window." said Tonks.

"This is all to weird, I mean all this time, but why couldn't she get near me? Why couldn't we be close?" asked Harry.

"That was simple. Harry, You-Know-Who hated your entire family. Not only were you prophesied to be his equal, but your parents and Dumbledore were his greatest enemies. Who do you think started the Order of the Phoenix? It was your parents who first started to idea, but it was Dumbledore who brought in the followers. Your parents were two of the greatest wizards of their time. Your father was an inventor of spells, and he was almost on the verge of discovering a counter spell for the two unforgivable curses, not Avada Kadavera, no, but the other two. Your father was a brilliant man. You mother was also a mighty fine witch herself. She was a Chief-Auror, actually. She was cunning, smart, and fought countless battles against You-Know-Who's Death Eaters. Once Demeter was born though, they wanted to slow down, but with His rise to power, they couldn't. They tried to keep the family together, but once the prophecy about you was known, they knew they had to get Demeter to a safe place, because she was they only one who could protect you when you got older, who could help you."

Harry couldn't believe all he was hearing. He just sta there, mouth a-gap, and listened closer as Tonks finished.

"You see Harry, your family is very special. You are not the only one to have a prophecy made about them. Your parents, once they were married, were told they would have two children who would reunite the wizarding world against the Dark Magic. When Demeter was born, a wondering Seer came to stay with your parents and foretold that Demeter would become a most powerful and intelligent witch who would save the final member of the family. And of course, I believe you already know your prophecy. You see Harry, your family is the most widely known throughout the wizarding world. It is you who is to defeat You-Know-Who, but it is Demeter who will show you the way. We kept you two a part because if You-Know-Who did find out, he would surely have gone after Demeter sooner and destroyed all hope of you ever defeating him."

All this was too much for Harry and he began to cry. He didn't know why, whether is was tears of joy that is finally had found his family, or sadness that he didn't know what exactly it was Demeter was suppose to do to help him. Suddenly he remembered...

"Tonks, Demeter is off trying to find Voldemort right? Then it's now, isn't it! This is the moment I must fight Voldemort, this is where I discover my destiny." said Harry.

All Tonks could do was sit there and nod her head. This was the moment, and she knew it, but she couldn't help but start to cry, for she knew something Harry didn't and it wasn't her who was suppose to tell him. As Harry rushed out the room, she whispered under her breath, "Goodbye Demeter, goodbye Harry, it is your destiny, and the wizarding world will thank you, once it is over."
