Harry sat on the camp bed that had been set up for him in Ron's room, Ron had left him there after sensing his friend needed to be alone, but it didn't stop him from asking if Harry would be ok, and if he was, or did he want to talk about anything.
To Ron Harry had been so quiet and closed off since the death of Sirius, that no one seemed to get thought to him, he and Hermoine had tried they'd not asked questions knowing that Harry was never one to tell on demand but they where constantly watching him, waiting for Harry to show any signs of wanting to talk, but so far nothing had happen. Harry spent a lot of time on his own, lost in a world that seemed to be hard for any one to get into. They know he was blaming himself for Sirius death but no matter how many times they told him it wasn't it seemed to have no effect. Then that letter had arrived that morning and the shocked look on the raven haired boy was a look that told you there was no way he had expected it. Harry had told him that the letter was from his Aunt, Ron took that as a hint, and told Harry he would leave him to it.
Harry was gratefully he'd never expected a letter, not from his aunt but what had shocked him more was the name on the envelope, it was only a small change but no less a change. "Harrison James Potter"
Looking at the envelope in his hand he stared at it for several minutes not really to sure if he wanted to know what his aunt had to say, but impulse and curiosity got the better of him, he opened the envelope and took out the folded letter which contained his aunts handwriting. Unfolding the letter slow, he breathed out, not realising he had been holding his breathe. Slowly he read the letter,
Harrison
I'm using you given name as that your parents gave you at birth and that I as your godmother gave when I promised I would try my best to protect you, the reason I was chosen is known to me, I am the only relative the wizarding community knows of the story of your mother and father is a secret few know of it and few protect it I am one of those people (Harry re-read them paragraph 3 times becoming more and more confused each time he did)
I have no idea about the extent of your knowledge about your heritage on mine and Lily's side but I suppose its not to much if your letter is anything to go by, and from your outburst
Of which I have not forgiven you fully for, but I suppose in some ways you told the truth. Re-reading this letter now I have properably confused you completely, sorry if I have and I will try to explain everything, I am also sending a letter to one other person, they should be about to help you understand a little more and please Harrison listen to him, he will help, everything that we can up with was to keep you and your sisters and your mother safe (SISTERS-I have sisters. Now Harry was more confused and who was this guy his aunt was talking about???)
Oh I've gone and done it again, ok ill start from the beginning I'm sorry if I'm going to confuse you but I have no idea what you have been told, and I'm guessing the news of you sisters has shocked you, they have no knowledge either as far as I know they are fine and they still have no idea, I was given the choice to tell you when I felt it was time, and now I feel is the time, Moony sent me a letter (Moony how does she know, what's going on???? Another wave of confusion hit him) confirming what had happened to Padfoot and I'm so sorry, I know now was the time to tell you, things that have been kept from you and hopefully you will find some peace and some happiness, although I know that will not be the case until the murdering bastard is killed~ that's Voldemort. Yes I know all about what you have to do, I have know it as long as you mother and father have.
The beginning I've gone off the point again~this was harder to write that I thought it was going to be, ill kill Moony and Shadow (Shadow? Who the hell??) for making me the one to tell you!!! Ill get them pity li's wont be here to help me!!!
Done it again sorry!
Ok its true I hated Lily, but that was when she first found, and the attention she got, I tried my hardest to match her, but to my parents she was the person that showed that our line of magic hadn't die, and that now the magic level had increased and could show itself~~ yes I have magic in my blood, but not enough, unlike Lily! We come from a long line of Squibs but 5 generations worth I think. Anyway as time went on I saw Lily had changed from the shy, quiet and timid girl she had been all our child hood into a teenager who could throw back good insults, who was confident, and more outgoing, and someone who could stand up for herself and I for one loved it, as my younger sister I always tried to protect her, and now I didn't have to, id always been scared for her, as I couldn't be there with her. I found out the reasons for her change in her 4th year a group of teenagers from her year, befriended her after one of them saved her from a nasty group of boys, before anything could happen, that group was Padfoot, Worntail, Moony, Prongs, Shadow, Sly. And I later found out there where others in this group, females, the above are all males! They where the reason for her change and I thanked them.
As time passed Lily fell in love with one of the group and I have to say she made a good choice, that was after I few choice words from me I learned he would never hurt her. Shadow would protect her, until his dieing day, (Shadow!! Who the hell is this guy and what happened about dad???) their love grow and slowly I know they would be together it was there 6th year where he asked her to marry him and she instantly said yes~~as I understand it. I was told straight away and that summer me, lily and your grandparents spent our time with Shadows family we also meet the group that had changed our lily from a innocent and shy flower into one that was not to be messed with, I also found love that summer, but nothing could come of it! (Everything he had been told about this life and who he thought he was, was being destroyed right here in this letter and as of yet it was not offering any answers to he should be!)
The 7th year came and reports of the war and Voldemort was rising slowly, Lily became scared and Shadow became part of the war, his father forced him to become a deatheater, he became a spy, his and lily's engagement was called off, but only to the world, in private they remand firmly willing to marry one another and the news of yours and you sister, entering the world made Shadow more determined to help, they both wanted you two to grow up in a world that was not controlled by a mad man but where you would be free and happy.
Links in the group became to weaken Moony was shunned a little, because he was a werewolf they where not to sure if he'd joined the dark side, Worntail was also pushed away a little but not to much, which from what I've been told recently that was a big mistake. Sly was kicked out of the group as a death eater and by the sounds of it by choice he changed became everything his name implied. Shadow was pushed from the group also in public but in private Padfoot, Prongs, Lily and Shadow where the best of friend and all 3 protective of your mother. But as thing grow closer to home Shadow became increasing worried and concerned for your safety, as well as your sister and you mother, so a plan was hatched Prongs idea, the world was notified that Mr. James Potter was to marry and his bride was pregnant with his son. James was the last in the line of the powerful wizarding family and an hair was needed!
You and Katherine were born. You under the name of Potter and Katherine was under the name of Evens, she was placed in the care of your fathers aunt and uncle~ you fathers second parents as he called them~ I was married by now and had my own son, but for safety me and Lily became distant, both wanting to keep our own families safe. 5 months after you where born Lily told a small number of people that she had conceived again, it had happened on the one day her family could be together you and Katherine where asleep at Shadows aunts and Uncles. Your sister was born the day before you mother and James went into hiding with you, she left the little girl in hospital being watched by the proud father, she was 2 months early but your parents had her that way so that she would be safe and Lily wouldn't be in any danger as they where now in hiding getting to the hospital would have been a problem. The next night, Halloween, your father watched as his love was killed and the man who was protecting you was killed also, but you, you lived his wanted to take you so much but it couldn't happen you bared another names surname, not his and Dumbledore placed you into my care~as you God mother I had promised to look after you which I have tried!
Your father returned to the hospital the next day to see his youngest child crying for her mother, picking her up he decided that she would be safer from him, coming to me I told him this was not true but he'd made up his mind, they found the little girl a home, a good one and told me to tell you when I felt it was time to tell you this. Harrison the one thing I have not told you is who Shadow is and from what Moony's told me, your reaction is going to be interesting but I personally will kill his, for making you life hell! Your father is Mr. S. Snape.
Harry dropped the letter as if it was burning his hand the 1st line repeated in his mind His father was Snape, the guy he'd wanted to kill for the last 5 years!!
