Disclaimer: I have a meeting with my lawyer today, but I don't own it…

Ms Ronupert Grint: I agree, 5/9 is good. it's more than half. I would love to read your story, actually when I finish writing a little on this chapter, I'll go and read it. But I must tell you, I'm not one of the most talented fictioneers! But I'm very honored to be called that. I think that I might be a little competition for you on the "Wierdness Scale". I am pretty out there. The only set back I have is that I have red hair instead of whatever it was I said Luna had (like a blonde color type). I'm glad your enjoying this story. And I promise, eventually, I'll get all my chapters longer. Once the ball gets rollin with that new kid (yeah, don't expect Draco's brother to just sit back and watch his brother's arch enemy teach him what he already 'knows'. Oh, and a review can NEVER be too long. Sometimes, mine can be like 2 paragraphs (with like at least 10 sen. in each!)

Yourheartsdesire: HA! YAY! I was hoping I would get that name! One of those names I had on my list and it was my favorite one on the list. It fits with my plot and I loved the name. It was fun to say! Thanks for giving me that one!

Allison Carroll: When did I indulge 16 yrolds about my personal life? I can't find it? Please let me know!

scrivania:Thank you! You're a new reviewer and I appreciate that you took just 10 seconds to let me know!

Soccer101: You are cooler than cool! Decorating the tree is so much fun! But this year, we just put it up today, and I didn't get to help, because my brothers' friends were over and so I wasn't going near them, they break stuff too easily!

Chapter 10: Someone Else Who Could Help
Tonks looked at her watch to make sure she was in her office at the right time. At that moment, the door swung open. She looked up to see an eager face, ready to learn.

Lucy made her way to the front of the classroom, ready to get caught up so she could finally get in the swing of things here at Hogwarts. Lucy noticed during class the previous day, that there was something peculiar about Professor Tonks. She seemed to have an aura to her that gave off a mild, scatter-brained impression. Like she would forget something slight, and then mess up the rest of her work.

"Lucy, thank you for coming. Now, what were you studying at your old school in Transfiguration, just before you left?" Tonks sidled over next to Lucy to make it less serious and more casual.

"Well, we were transfiguring furniture into other types of furniture and some medium sized animals into either the same size or smaller animals."

"Okay, that's good. I was going to actually start there next term. Now, have you done any theory about different types of Transfigurative people. We did that the last two weeks and I must say, it helped the students for the better."

"Well, no. At my school, we mainly did practical. We didn't really learn any extra tips, just what we were supposed to do, then write an essay about it. That was about it."

"Okay, well for the next two weeks, I'm going to help you with different techniques and theory that we've done. And I assure you, we'll do some fun stuff here and there so it doesn't get tiring." Tonks smiled at her and moved back around to the other side of her desk. "Lucy, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Well, I have this condition. Um, and you remind me of it. Um. It's the reason I've had to move schools so many times. I coudn't control it, and still can't. My mom can, but I don't know how. It's very rare to be passed down in other generations, but it was passed to me and I don't know what to do. I don't want to go to another school. This is the quickest place I've ever made friends..." Lucy was rubbing the back of her neck out of nervous habit, and then stopped when she realized she was doing it.

"Lucy, I think that's exactly where we should start. Are you able to do this?" Tonks' straight black hair turned wavy and red, then to tight curls of lime green. Then she started changing her nose and mouth around to make it look as if she wasn't herself. Tonks nodded to herself when she noticed the girl wasn't flinching or anything. "Lucy, can you do this?"

"Not by choice. I said, I can't control it. And at my previous schools, we were only allowed to have natural hair, with a little unnatural color. Not a whole head of aquamarine!" Lucy walked over to Tonks as if she were studying her hair.

"Well, I think this is the perfect place to begin. We'll stop now and let you get back to your tower. I also believe that until you are able to do it by your own free will, with all parts, we should continue these meetings, though the time may change depending on our schedules. I hope to see your paper for class tomorrow! Good night!" Tonks moved back to her desk, watched the child leave the room, then smiled to herself. 'I've never met another metamorphagus...'.

Harry watched reminiscingly as the First Year Ravenclaws and Slytherins left the classroom to go to their next class. Harry couldn't help but wonder that there was something eerie about Pravus Malfoy. It might just be his instinct kicking in to not trust a Malfoy, but the face and his tone... it was all so prominent that he was, 'up to something?'.

All of a sudden, students started filing in his room. 'Okay, Harry. Third year Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. You can do this. Get it together!"

"Good afternoon class! Well, I'll start just like I've started every class. Now, Professor McGonagall introduced me to all of you at dinner a few nights ago, so you all know me. Now do any of you have any questions you'd like to ask me?" Just as it was in all the other classes, many hands shot up.

Harry looked and found a blonde girl sitting near the middle of the room with her hand up eager to ask. "Um, yes. You?"

"Yeah, hi. I'm Allison, Allison Alexander. Did you like living with the muggles? I read in a biography of yours that the muggle family you grew up with like treated you badly. Why did you go to them?" Allison sat back in her chair and watched her professor eagerly.

"Well, I was surprised when I got a wedding invitation from my cousin, so I figured that for him to at least send me one, they must have changed... and they did!" Harry smiled and continued to answer questions.

An hour and a quarter later, Harry announced that this would be his last question.

"Um, Lucy is it? Lucy Evans?" Harry looked at the red-headed witch and noted how much she looked like his mother... 'she even has eyes similar to hers'. he thought to himself as he called on her.

"Yes sir. Um, my q-question is... Well, I wanted to know... Um... My mom might be upset with me for asking this but... Um, Professor Potter? Did you ever know that you had a uh... did you ever know my Mom, Miranda Evans? She was a fifth year student here your first year. You might remember her being the one who had a kid, well me, when she was sixteen. That was during the year that the Chamber of Secrets opened and everything." Lucy looked down at her desk, realizing that she'd just exposed herself.

"Miranda Evans? Hm... It doesn't ring a bell. I might have known her by sight, but I don't think I ever really talked to her. Why do you ask?" Harry looked back at Lucy and convinced her to answer.

"Well, I said she was my mom right? Yeah... Well, my mom was- I mean is... Oh this is really hard..." Lucy looked away to regain her composure. "You see, when I was like four or five, my Mom told me that my uncle died. I never got to meet him. She was devastated. She'd never really gotten to get to know him because she didn't know she had a brother for the first part of her life. Until her third year, when Professor Dumbledore told her. Oh I don't want to do this..."

"Lucy, everything's okay. Just tell me. Actually, you don't have to tell me..."

"No! I have to tell you! My mom wanted me to! And so I have to! Are you really thick-headed? Can you not put two and two together? When my Mom was 16 she had a kid, me, and moved to America where she married the father. I kept her maiden name. When I was four, I distinctly remember my mom coming in my room and telling me that my uncle died protecting his family. Over the years, she told me many stories of his bravery, courage, and even a few about her parents. Her mom was 16 as well when she had my mom. Though my mom's birth was hushed up. Not even their friends new about it. The two continued to act as if they hated each other for another year, before they couldn't stand it. They got married when they got out of Hogwarts. Then when the two of them were twenty, my grandmother gave birth to what would become the greatest wizard of our time! YOU!"

At that moment, time appeared to have stopped. No one spoke. No one moved. The only sound that could be heard was the wind blowing against the windows outside. That was until Tonks came bustling in.

"Harry! Oh how good to see you! I'm sorry I haven't come to talk to you before! But I need to take one of your students. It is quite urgent. May I see you for a minute Miss Evans? I do hope this is all right..." Before he could answer, Tonks was shuffling Lucy out in the corridor leaving an awestruck classroom. Harry finally regained his composure and dismissed the class to dinner.

Harry moved over to his desk, laid his head in his hands and just sat there. Finally, a knock came upon his door and he called them in. He didn't even care to look up to see who it was.

"Harry? Are you okay? I heard some rumors flying around the Great Hall during dinner and I heard your name mentioned. I noticed you weren't at the table, so I thought I'd come and check up on you... Are you sick?" Harry looked up to see the face of Neville Longbottom.

"Yeah, Neville I'm-I-I'm a wreck. I don't know what's going on! I thought that I'd be able to come back with just a whole lot of publicity and a lot of catching up to do. I was so wrong! I didn't expect a whole sister and niece!"

"Woah..." Neville looked at Harry in amazement then backed off to go and get someone else who could help.

A/N: Thanks for all ya'lls reviews! I hope you like this chapter. I'm not that fond of it as much as I would like. It kinda reminds me of a soap opera. But we all love the drama right? OKay, hope you enjoy the next chapter whenever it comes out!
