"O.K. then, better make that Ravenclaw." Said the hat, then it kinda coughed and said "Slytherin."

At that moment then everyone in Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor started to boo.

Then the hat said "Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Oh I don't know."

That was when Dumbledore stood up. I know that because Ginny later told me. At this point I still couldn't see anything because of the hat that was over my eyes. Then I heard a voice. It was Dumbledore, then I felt the hat being lifted off of my head. Then Dumbledore said to me "come with me Gina." I had no choice but to follow him, so I did. We walked through the school until we came to this gargoyle thing and Dumbledore said Lemon Drops, and the gargoyle started to move and became a staircase. We got on the staircase and then it started to lift us up. We ended up outside a big oak door. Dumbledore opened the door and we walked in.

"Make yourself at home Ms. Potter." Dumbledore said.

"Professor, I have a few questions."

"Don't worry Ms. Potter I will answer them in a minute, but first I have to tell you why Harry doesn't know about you. You haven't told him have you?"

"No Professor."

"O.K. very good then, sit down. First off you will be in Gryffindor-"

At the mention of being in Gryffindor I jumped up a started to thank Dumbledore.

"O.K. Ms. Potter, that will be fine. So as I was saying, after the feast I am going to summon Harry to my office and we will tell him that you are really his sister, and living with Sirius, but Harry doesn't know anything about Sirius, so he might take it badly, and not believe anything we say, who knows, only time will tell. So you can go back to the feast and sit with the Gryffindors and I will send someone to get you later. But please do not mention this to anybody. If you tell one person it will be around the school before you can say Potions. O.K?"

"Well," I said, "I already told Ginny.

'Oh, I know you told Ms. Weasley. I trust that she wont tell anyone, she is to quite."

I thought back to our trip on the train thinking, Ginny is anything but quiet.

"Oh and Ms. Potter, Gina if Harry doesn't accept that you are really his sister, things might get pretty bad. So would you be O.K. to move to a different house? You could choose. I just think it would be better if something went wrong for you to not be near Harry something like the first week. I might not even have to move you to a different house, if you just stay clear of Harry, just for a few days. Oh, and Gina, if anyone asks about your last name, you last name is Evans, right?"

"Yes Professor." I said, and then I walked out of the office and back to the feast.

I down the corridor and turned left because that was the way that we came from, or so I thought. I kept walking down the corridor, then I realized I was lost, and in big trouble because nobody was around. They were all at the feast. I wandered around for what seemed like forever and then I heard footsteps behind me. I quickly turned around and there right behind me was this person with a hooked nose and very long and greasy black hair. He said "You know Ms. Potter you shouldn't be wandering around the castle in the middle of the welcoming feast, and you especially shouldn't be wandering in my dungeon, by my office, and supply cupboard. I think that will cost you 10 points from, Ravenclaw, no Slytherin, no I can't take points from Slytherin, oh, what house are you in anyways?"

"Do you think I would tell you. Could you help me find the Great Hall, I'm lost?"

"That way." And he pointed up a staircase, and I quickly hurried up and found myself in the Entrance Hall. I turned around to see if the person was going to follow me back up to the feast, but he was no where to be seen.

"Oh well, at least I'm not lost anymore." I said out loud to myself, then I hurried in the join everyone in the Great Hall.

I walked into the Great Hall and looked for the table with Harry sitting at it, because that would be Gryffindor. I finally found it and went and sat down. And there, sitting at the very end of the table was Ginny. She looked so happy. All the other first years looked terrified. She was the only one that didn't. I went and sat down beside her and started to grab some food. I couldn't believe all the food. The 4 house tables that were huge were full of food. Everything from roasted chicken, to mashed potatoes, to steak and kidney pie, which I was not going to even go near. I grabbed some chicken, and some potatoes, and then I saw some pork ribs, so I had to grab some of those. Lets just say by the end I could feel my skirt getting a bit tight around the waist.

So back to when I walked in to the Great Hall. I sat down beside Ginny and she said, "so Dumbledore put you in Gryffindor. I always knew that he controlled the hat, and got to chose where everyone went, and the hat was just kind of a cover-up for it."

"Whatever you say Ginny. So are you pleased you got into Gryffindor?"

"Oh I don't know what I would have done if I didn't. Both my parents, my 6 brothers, Bill, Charlie, Ron, Percy, Fred and George were and are in Gryffindor. I would be so embarrassed if I didn't get into Gryffindor. Can you image being the only one in your family that was not in Gryffindor?"

"No I can't. The only reason I wanted to be in Gryffindor was because you know who is in this house, and I'm not talking about Voldermort."

At the mention of Voldermort Ginny sort of half choked, half gasped.

"A sorry, I said. I guess my parents were in Gryffindor as well, so that is another thing, but that wasn't what I was thinking about when I put the hat on."

"You guess your parents were in Gryffindor." Ginny basically screamed.

"Ginny," I said, "no one is to no remember?"

"Oh yeah," she said in more of a whisper, "your parents Gina were 2 of the best Gryffindors ever. The were Head Girl and Boy. Sure your Dad was a trouble maker and it is passed on to Harry, who has passed it on to Ron if I might add, but still they were great people."

"How do you know all this?" I asked.

"Oh," Ginny said sheepishly, "Well the walls of The Burrow, that's my house are pretty thin. And that is about all I'll say."

Then she stopped talking all together. We then continued to eat until we were all so full we could barely move, then Dumbledore stood up, waved his wand and all the empty plates and dished disappeared, and were replaced with smaller dessert plates, and many different types of dessert. There were the ordinary stuff like, Chocolate cakes, and Treacle Tarts and then there were stuff that I had never even seen before. There was this huge bowl of orange creamy stuff that Ginny said was a whipped cream on the top that was orange flavored, and a layer of cookie on the bottom. I sounded safe enough so I took a scoop of it and put it on my plate. It was actually pretty good.

Then Ginny handed me a colourful box of what looked liked Jelly Beans. She said "Do you want some Jelly Beans, Gina?"

I knew that they were not just any normal cherry or licorice jelly beans they were Berty Bott's Every Flavored Beans. I carefully selected one. Sirius told me a hint about these beans. He said "Gina the only Berty Bott's Every Flavored beans that are safe to eat are the ones that are perfectly round." So I grabbed a perfectly round one, know Sirius wouldn't steer me wrong and popped it into my mouth. It was a lime green bean.

Ginny said "so what flavor is it?"

I replied "It is green apple."

"How did you get a normal flavored bean, I have never gotten one that wasn't booger or earwax or something else that is as disgusting?"

"A lucky pick I guess." I said, even if we were best friends I was not going to share one of the Marauders oldest tricks. Sirius told me that him, my father, Remus Lupin who I had met a few times figured it out in their first year. But Sirius when he talked about his group of friends he never called them by their real names. He always called them Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. Sirius was Padfoot, Remus was Moony, Peter was Wormtail, and my father was Prongs. They could all transform into animals. Sirius was a big black dog, the being able to become and animal came in handy when we were in hiding, but had to go out somewhere. My dad was a stag, Wormtail was a rat and Remus couldn't change to an animal at will he changed on the full moon. He was a werewolf. My dad and his friend learned how to change into animals so they could keep Remus company when he transformed. A werewolf wouldn't hurt an other animal.

I'm getting sidetracked so back to the story. I just wanted to keep some of the secrets of the Marauders hidden. One thing that I wished I had was a map that the Marauders made. It showed the whole castle and the grounds and it showed where everyone was. Every person was a dot with a name above it. This was called the Marauders Map. To open it you have to say "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Then the map opens and when you are done you have to make sure so say the spell and the map goes blank. Sirius told me that he did not have the map. The caretaker Filch took it from them in their seventh year, and they couldn't get it back. It was just a blank sheet of parchment, but Filch was convinced that it was something magical that could harm somebody. I would have liked to have that. Sirius told me all this because he wanted me to see if Filch still had the map and if I could get it back.

Back to the feast. Dumbledore stood up and said 'Prefects please lead the first years back to the dormitories. Good night."

"Oh no," Ginny groaned, "Percy is a prefect. I'm never going to hear the end of this one. Percy is in his 6th year at Hogwarts."

Right then Dumbledore walked up behind me and said Ms. Evans could you please come with me now."

Ginny gave me a weak smile which I interpreted as good luck and then I turned and followed Dumbledore. We walked up to Harry, Ron and Hermione and Dumbledore said "Harry, would you please come with myself and Ms. Evans here?"

"O.K, did you say Evans Professor?"

"Yes Harry."

"O.K. I'll come." He turned to Ron and Hermione and said I'll meet you in the common room when I am done. O.K?"

"Sure Harry." They replied.

Then Harry, Dumbledore and I started to walk towards Dumbledore's office.

But as soon as we got out of the Great Hall Harry said " Professor, did you say her name was Evans?"

"Yes Harry."

'Well I was wondering if she was somehow related to my Mom?"

"I will explain in a minute Harry, when we are in my office."

"O.K. Professor."

We continued to walk up stair cases until we finally arrived at the gargoyle that is outside Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore said "lemon drops" and the gargoyle sprang to life. We stepped on to the staircase and then we ended up in front of the big doors to Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore opened the door and we walked in.

"Make yourself at home Gina, and Harry."

So we did. Dumbledore disappeared for a few minutes and then he reappeared with a leather book which looked like a photo album.

"Professor, so is Gina related to my Mom somehow?"

"Yes and No."

"So she is not related to my mom?"

"Harry Gina is related to your mom, but she is not just somehow related, Harry, this may come as a shock to you, but Gina is the 2nd child of Lily and James Potter, Gina is your sister."

"No Professor, you must be mistaken, my parents didn't have 2 kids, just me. Even if they did where has she been for the past 11 years?"

"Almost 11 Harry. Gina was born to Lily and James Potter on October 14, 1981. Just 17 days before Voldermort came and killed them. Nobody knew about her because your parents and you were in hiding at Godric's Hollow. Gina here was born and she was staying with Sirius Black the night Voldermort came and killed your parents. Sirius Black Harry was and is yours and Gina's Godfather. Do you know anything about Sirius Black Harry?"

"No Professor."

"O.K. Harry, this is where it gets confusing, are you ready to hear this?"

"Yes."

"O.K. well Sirius Black is said to be in Azkaban, but that was just a cover-up set up by myself so Sirius and Gina could go into hiding."

"Why didn't I ever know about this Professor Dumbledore?"

"Harry, I would have loved to tell you that you still had family, but it was to dangerous for you, Sirius and Gina. You see, Sirius was your fathers best friend, and he was your parents secret keeper. Only he knew where you and your parents were hiding, and only he could tell people. Sirius believed Voldermort was going to come after him and make him say where you were hiding so he gave to job over to Peter, and person that was also in your father's group of friends. Peter though went and turned the information over to Voldermort. That is why Voldermort found you and killed your parents and tried to kill you. Do you understand?"

"I think so. So Gina is my sister and I have a godfather? Can I go live with them in the summer now? And can I go there for Christmas?"

"O.K. Harry, you can't live with Sirius and Gina, you still have to go back at the end of the school year and spend a few weeks with the Dursley's, but you can go and spend Christmas with Sirius and you can visit Sirius and Gina over the summer holidays. O.K?"

"Yes, but why not?"

"Because Harry-"
