Chapter 2 Almond Eyes

Harry stood there in shock, who was this girl? She had the same eyes as him though, the same long dark black hair, and she was exactly his height. They both stared at one another, but for a split second, Harry knew this girl was some how related to him. The only thing though that came out his mouth was, "Hello."

"Hey, are you Harry Potter?" Rane asked softly, hoping he would figure out they were brother and sister.

"WH-who are you?" He stuttered some what, staring at her.

"I'm you're sister, Rane, Rane Potter."

"How can this be?"

"Well, you see mum and dad did some things and then nine months later we were born." Rane said sarcastically, knowing he asked a different question.

"I knew that, it's just, you… how? I can't have any siblings, my parents died when I was one." Stated Harry.

"Wrong, when we were one our parents died, but the thing is, I wasn't there with you, mum and dad thought I was dead from when we were both born. The doctors didn't think anything of it, they thought I was just too small to be born, but the thing is I was perfect. I was sleeping the entire time, but instead of giving my body to mum and dad they threw me in a trash can. After that was all the memories of foster homes, being physically and emotionally, even some times mentally beaten, until I finally got a home that was even worse; but besides that, how are you?" Rane whispered.

Harry just stood there in shock, she was really his sister, and she was put through a lot of pain, even though he, himself fought Voldemort many times, it wasn't the same. She wasn't only abused mentally, but physically and emotionally. He took a step closer to her and her to him; she hugged him tightly, as tears ran down her eyes.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but now I am." Harry whispered softly, Rane just hugged him, she finally let go and stared straight into his eyes.

"It's alright Harry, I'm just really emotional lately, especially when I found out I might have a brother, no one told me before, everyone just said I was abandoned and that I didn't have anyone who loved me, they just told me that all the time, and I believed them." Rane replied, calming down quickly.

Harry smiled at her, "Don't worry, come on in, we have a lot to talk about."

Rane followed Harry inside and they went up to his bedroom, since if the Dursley's found them downstairs they would get mad quickly about not knowing about guests, of course Harry knew Ron and Hermionie would be here in a bit, but they would be knocking on the door while they were up, so everything was going to work out fine.

When Ron and Hermionie got the letter from Harry, they were thrilled, Hermionie had all her things already packed, and Ron had to quickly throw some of his things into one of the oldest looking suitcases Hermionie ever saw. Ron went red in the face and Hermionie smirked at him, he was really silly some times. After they both were ready to go, they headed down the winding staircase to see Mr. & Mrs. Weasley sitting down at the table with Ginny, Fred and George. Everyone looked pretty serious, except for Ginny, she loved it when they got into trouble, since Ginny could do something bad and they wouldn't notice.

"Where are you going dears?" Mrs. Weasley shot out nicely, but very sternly as well.

"We're going to Harry's mum, is that alright? We already asked him, and he said that it was fine."

Mrs. Weasley looked over at him and then at Hermionie, she seemed lost for words, but that was quit un-normal, especially for her. Mr. Weasley stared at his wife and nodded at Ron.

"Go ahead you two, have some fun, and don't get into trouble; please?" Mr. Weasley sighed, as he stood up and grabbed a drink from the fridge.

Ron and Hermionie nodded and walked out of the house, Ron took out his broom, and Hermionie waited for him to sit on it first, she went behind him and sat down, they took off and flew into the air. Everything was beautiful up here, and Hermionie smiled, no wonder Harry and Ron loved to fly. Ron still looked grim about everything that happened in the summer and at the school. She felt bad and terrible whenever she thought of Dumbledore.

Harry and Rane laughed for an hour straight, about all the good memories each of them had, it seemed as though they would never stop talking.

"And he just moved his wand up and down, making Malfoy the famous bouncy ferret!" Harry burst out laughing, he remembered the day well.

"That would be so funny to see, I wish I could of seen that; maybe I could do that to him if you ever go back to Hogwarts?" Rane replied, staring at him, she saw the grim look on Harry's face and stopped talking. "I'm sorry, did something bad happen there?"

"Yeah, but I had a lot of good memories there too, its just that our Headmaster died and everyone was really upset after that, I don't even want to go back to finish my last year." Harry stated.

"You have to though, if you want a really good job, c'mon Potter." Rane said teasing him.

Harry just gave her a small smile; Rane heard the door bell ring and stood up, "I'll get it." She insisted running down the stairs.

Harry knew Ron and Hermionie would be standing there, thinking it would be him answering the door, he smiled at himself and stood up, walking slowly towards the stairs.

Ron and Hermionie landed right in front of Privet Drive, Ron looked around it still looked like the same old place. Hermionie smiled, she couldn't wait to see Harry and talk to him and Ron about everything, and hopefully making Harry go back to Hogwarts for their last year.

"I wonder if he'll come back to Hogwarts with us…" Hermionie whispered to Ron.

Ron nodded, "If he didn't I don't think it would be the same, especially all of us trying to figure out a mystery or trying to figure out who got killed or hurt, or whatever."

Hermionie stared at him, he seemed a lot different, but in a way was the same old Ron, she knew and loved. Yes loved, she knew Ron liked her, but she didn't know if he loved her, they spent most of their summer kissing, holding hands, but not really talking a lot like they used too.

Ron walked to the door, hand in hand with Hermionie and knocked on the door, they stood waiting for only a while until a girl opened the door. Hermionie gawked at her, her eyes were wide and she peered down and up at her. Ron was shocked as well, his mouth was half opened, Hermionie nudged him in the stomach and Ron rubbed the area she hit.
