Chapter 3: The Tale at Last…

Harry sat in the over-stuffed armchair as Dumbledore began his tale. "When James and Lily found out about the prophecy, Lily was still pregnant. No one knew that she would have two children, twin boys. She went into labor while they were in hiding, so James and I delivered the babies." Here he paused and took a ragged breath.

When Pettigrew sold your parents out to Voldemort, Lily had known he was coming, and tried to send the boys to me. She only got to send one before he came, your brother. She sent him by portkey, but, in her haste, she must have made a mistake, because he didn't come to me, he was lost…"

Harry sat there, shocked, by what he heard. Still trying to decipher the information, he croaked out, "Did you ever find him?" Albus sighed, "No Harry we never did." "Why didn't you tell me this before?" Harry, finding his voice, raged. "Truth be told, I had never thought to," Albus said wearily. "So I've went twenty-two years, without a family, and you never thought to tell me I had one! I will find him, no matter how long it takes," he declared, clutching the arms of the chair with ghost white knuckles and a steely glint in his emerald eyes.

"What was the portkey?" "A photograph of Lily and James in their sixth year," he responded to the irate and determined young man. "Was there any way to tell where he might have landed?" Harry questioned. "He landed somewhere in Europe, that's all we could figure out." Harry nodded, then rising placidly; he turned, and briskly walked through the door, leaving Albus to sigh.
