Hey all people who reviewed my story so far! Sorry it has taken me so long to post more chapters. I was grounded for a while, and I have been busy with school and just life in general which has just sucked lately.

To my reviewers:

Chinese Miko- Thanks for reviewing. I know they have been short. I have been writing this story for about a year now (it's got about 50 chapters so far), but I am also writing four other fanfics at the same time too, so alot of these chapters start out short, but get longer. And, I know alot of things don't add up. When I started writing it, alot of the things did, I wrote it before the sixth book, so it came together more or less. I have changed this whole chapter around to try and make things fit better.

Happily Never After- Thanks! Your stories are good too. I know you started reading it before, and I am glad you are continuing to read it.

And, anyone else who didn't review...REVIEW PEOPLE! I can't make my story better without your help! Now, with that out of the way, let us get on with the show!

Chapter 4

It took Harry ten minutes to re-tell everything Snape had told him to Ron and Hermione. When he was done, Ron looked like he was having trouble trying not to pass out, Hermione looked troubled with the whole concept, while shooting Alex looks of sympathy, and Alex just looked at them. Harry looked between the three of them, waiting for one of them to say something. Finally, Hermione spoke.

" Well, it seems like there are a few things Snape isn't telling you, Harry." she said. She then looked over at Alex, and then back at Harry. " I think you should get a blood test taken down at the Ministry to make sure they are telling the truth. Although," she added quickly, seeing the look on both Alex's and Harry's faces. " I don't think Alex would lie to you, she doesn't seem like the type of person who would lie about something as serious as that."

Alex shot Hermione a grim smile. " Although I am not lying, given the conditions of this day and age, I will have to agree with you on that."

Harry looked torn. On one hand, he wanted badly to believe that the girl in front of him was his sister by blood and not someone in disguise after him and he wanted very badly to believe that Snape, though he felt odd when he thought about it, was his father. Plus, they could be Death Eaters after him, or very confused individuals, so a blood test at the Ministry seemed like a good idea. On the other hand, he hated the Ministry with every fiber of his being and did not want to trust them with something this big. He sighed, then looked at Ron, Hermione, and Alex. "Do you think Dumbledore might be able to test my blood with theirs instead of the Ministry?" he asked.

" I don't know Harry," Hermione said, looking a little worried.

" Aw, don't start Hermione." Ron cut in. " Of course he could mate, he's Dumbledore, the greatest wizard out there. He can do anything!"

Harry grinned at Ron. " You have a point there. I'll send him a letter asking him now."

Harry walked over to a desk near the window and wrote out the question on a piece of parchement. When he was finished, he quickly read it over, then after he was satisfied, he tied the letter to Hedwig's leg, opened the window, and watched her soar into the late-afternoon skies. Then, he turned back around and walked over to Ron, Hermione, and Alex to find they were no longer sitting on the couch. Feeling slight panic wash over him, he dashed around the house, searching for them everywhere. He finally found them in the kitchen, putting away snacks and food from the shopping trip. He let out a small sigh of relief and a laugh before his two friends, and possible sister, noticed him. They stopped putting away the food and walked over to him.

" Finish the letter?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, I did." Harry replied. Then he let out a small snicker.

" What's so funny Harry?" Hermione asked.

" You think Alex might be highly dangerous, yet you are putting away our food with her." Harry said, then let out another small laugh. " Aren't you worried she might try and suffocate you guys with the marshmallows or try and drown you in the Butterbeer?" By this point, he was laughing loudly. Ron was laughing too, along with Alex, while Hermione just stood there and blushed.

" Well, it seemed like a good idea to take her with us while we left you alone to write the letter, just incase." Hermione muttered. Just then they heard a crash come from the living room.

Each teen suddenly looked alarmed and grabbed their wand. They crept silently into the living room, and then fired random curses everywhere, blasting anything. When they were finished and the smoke cleared, a figure in long silver robes with a long, white beard that reached the ground, stood before him.

" Well, that was quite an interesting welcome." the figure said, beaming at them." Although, next time, I believe a simple 'Hello' and offering of a beverage would do quite nicely too."

Albus Dumbledore stood before them.

Okay people, that's all for now! I hope it was good, considering I just changed the whole chapter around. I hope it was long enough, or longer than the other ones are.

Review people! I don't care if you flame or offer constructive criticism or say that it rocked! Flaming wouldn't make me happy, but I woouldn't fear it seeing as I mess around with flames and hot things all the time. :p

And, on that, I bid you farewell for now.

In the next chapter:

Blood tests, party plannings, nightmares, and the drama that follows it!
