Chapter 74

SISTER

"Who is his sister?" Hermione asked this of the men who had said this, and was surprised when it wasn't one of them that answered her, but a voice of one of her friends that she had been rooming with all this year, who had just walked in behind her from the kitchen.

"That would be me Mione, I'm Harry's sister." Dawn Lupin had just walked in and came over to hug her brother and her parents. She had been told earlier that day that she had a brother, and that he was Harry Potter. She had always wondered where she had gotten the scar that was on her shoulder in the shape of a lightning bolt, and her adopted father had told her this morning. He had explained that he didn't want to tell her before they came here for the school year, and just now had the chance. She had forgave him of this for she knew that he had been through a lot over the years.

Harry was hugging his sister that he didn't know he had, and his parents that he was glad were back. "I didn't know about you Dawn, or I would have come and looked for you before. I always knew that there was something missing from me, but I was never sure. Mum and dad are back, can you believe it, their back alive." He brought Hermione over and into the hugs of his family. "Your part of my family also Mione, so you might as well get used to it." He smiled at the look on his girlfriends face, but she also had a smile after a while.

"So Harry, who is this young lady that you seem to be so close to?" James and Lily asked their son with a smile.

"Mum dad, I would like you to meet Hermione Granger, she is my girlfriend. We have been a couple since the beginning of the summer officially. Hermione, this is my mum and dad, James and Lily Potter." He was smiling his lopsided grin at the thought of his girlfriend meeting his parents.

Molly and Arthur walked over and hugged Harry saying. "We're glad that your parents are back Harry, what do you want to do about legal things. We officially adopted you those years ago, but we don't want to keep you away from your birth parents. We would hope that you would still be part of our family, but that's up to you." Molly was crying now, but was keeping up a good front no matter what Harry decided.

Harry looked over at the only parents he had known for the last 12 years and smiled. "Don't worry Mum and Dad, they are my birth parents, but I will never forget what you and your family have done for me the last 12 years. You will always be my parents along with them, and one day Mr and Mrs. Granger I hope." He blushed a bit when he realized that he said this out loud. He kissed Hermione's hand when he said this, and looked at both set's of his parents.

"I feel the same way Dad, you will always be my dad that have raised me, along with them being my birth parents." Dawn said this to Remus with a sweet smile. She gave him a hug, and they got together to discuss what have happened in their lives over the last 12 years.

"Hey Ginny, wasn't Neville going to join us for the rest of the Holiday's? I hope everything is alright." Harry looked at his younger adopted sister, wondering why she was all smiles that her boyfriend wasn't here for the rest of the holidays.

"Oh it is wonderful news Harry. We went to visit his parents at St. Mungos over the holiday just before Christmas, and we found them sitting up and chatting along with the healers. They have been cured of whatever it was that had made their minds close up. The family is back at his Grandmum's house getting along great again. I am so happy for them." Ginny was crying a bit, but tears of joy.

"That's great Ginny, we should owl them to give our congratulations to them. We should also let them know that we're back also. Sirius, we know it wasn't your fault that we were killed, what ever happened to the Rat anyway?" James smiled at his friends and family, and gave his wife a kiss whispering something into her ear.

"Well Prongsy, we have great news on that front, he was caught last summer, and given the Dementor's kiss. We will never have to worry about him anymore. In fact Remus and I have been teaching DADA this year. Now what are you two going to be doing now that you are back alive?"

"Well first off, we need to get a couple of wands, and then we will have to get it told that we are alive again. That means we have to talk to the arse of a Minister of Magic again. Boy I hate Fudge, why is he still the MOM anyway. Hasn't anyone defeated him, or made him resign yet?"

Everyone smiled at him, and clapped him on the back. "Don't worry Prongsy, you don't have to worry about Fudge being Minister anymore, he was shown to be a Death Eater last summer, and even tho he escaped, he is no longer the MOM, Arthur Weasley here is the new one." Everyone had a good laugh at the look on James and Lily's face.

"Congratulations Arthur, I guess that this means that we can be officially declared alive again, and given our stuff back, including Godric's Hollow?" He was happy as a child at this, and picked Lily up and swung her around kissing her good.

Everyone was able to see the little belly that Lily was sprouting at this time, and looked at them with a look of what?

"Hey Prongsy, Lils, is there something you haven't been telling us? I mean it looks like Lil's is pregnant, but that can't be right, considering you guys just got back." Remus asked this with a smile.

Lily blushed when asked this, but smiled also. "Well guys, while it's true that we just got back to the land of the living, I was pregnant when we were killed, and for some reason, when we came back, I came back just as pregnant as I was when I was killed. Looks like our daughter was brought back also. Harry, Dawn, you two are going to be Brother and sister in about 5 months to a little sister." She smiled as everyone congratulated them on the upcoming birth.

"That's great mum, congratulations to you both. Well I guess I will be a big brother to another sister." Harry smiled at this, knowing from what he had been told earlier that he was older than Dawn by about 10 minutes.

"Yah mum and dad, I am so happy to have another sister. So what are you going to call this one mum and dad?" Dawn was smiling at the thought, she was truly happy for her parents.

"Well we thought about calling her Angel Marie Potter. Angel because she is going to be our little blessing that we weren't expecting, but will love just like our other two children. Marie after my grandmother." James said this with a smile. Then he got a strange look on his face and looked at Hermione with an interest. "Excuse me Hermione, but did Harry say that you last name is Granger?"

"Yes sir, why do you ask?" Hermione was getting a little bit nervous now, but saw the look in his eyes that had her trusting him. "Their names are Frank and Jane Granger, their muggle Dentists."

James looked at Lily with bewilderment in his eyes, and then let out a laugh. "Please did you just say that they were Dentist?"

Lily had a little giggle at that also, for she knew who they were and thinking that those two being dentists made her giggle.

"Yes, why do you know them? But how, their muggles, and never had heard of the magical world before, aren't they?" Hermione was getting a little worried right now, but was thinking that she was a little powerful for just being a muggle born.

Harry wrapped his arms around Hermione, and held her close. "Don't worry Mione, I am here, and we will find out what they are going on about together." Harry gave her a kiss and held her hand.

"Don't worry you two, it's nothing bad. Hermione, will you please go use the floo and have your parents come here by way of the floo please. Tell them James and Lily are back, and they will come right away." Lily said this with a smile for the younger girl and Hermione went to do as asked.

She stuck her head in the fire after throwing in some floo powder and yelled out, "Granger household." When her head quit spinning around, she saw her parents sitting there in the living room reading some books that she thought she had seen the titles before, but they couldn't be, they were magical books of hers. "Mum dad, I have a few friends that have asked for you to floo to the burrow right away, they want to see you again." She almost fell through the fireplace when she saw her parents look at each other and ask.

"Who are they Hermione, we are kind of busy at this time."

"James and Lily said that they want to see you again, Lily said that you would come right away if I told you that." Hermione did fall out of the fireplace back into the burrow when she saw the excitement in her parents eyes.

"We will be right there," they told her as she left through the fire.

"They said that they will be right here Mr and Mrs. Potter. May I ask how you know them tho?" She was about to ask again when she heard a couple of pops in the living room right behind her and she turned around looking at her parents who had just obviously aparated into the burrow.

"That would be because we are a witch and wizard Hermione, and no your not a muggle born, you are quite definitely a pureblood." Her mother smiled as she saw Hermione faint dead away into Harry's arms, and Harry smiled up at them and fainted also after he realized what they had said.

A/N: Ok I hope that you don't kill me for the last surprise of the season in the story. I promise that there will be no more surprises in this story this year. Please keep up the reading and reviewing. I am telling you this tho, I am shortening the story to around 200 chapters, maybe a few chapters longer. I plan on having year three end on or around chapter 80, and then year four around chapter 100. The last three years will be 30 chapters each, with five chapters for each of the summers between years five and six, and years six and seven. Please read and review, and let me know what you think. –Donald
