CHAPTER 4

Meanwhile With Flora:

When Flora woke up that morning, she came face to face with her kitten familiar Jewell. Jewell is a smoky color with specks of brown underneath her fur. She also has a jewel shaped patch of fur on her forehead. As soon as Jewell saw that her human was awake, she told her "I'm hungry and want my breakfast. If you dont feed me, I will start to bite toes, you know I will." Jewell had told her this all telepathically via the link that they share. Flora than went and opened a can of cat food, salmon flavor, and feed it to Jewell.

After making sure that Jewell was done eating, she went down to the Common Room and onto breakfast. When she got down to the Great Hall, she saw the one that might be her brother, or some other relation to her, and headed to try and talk to him. But than she saw Professor McGonagall go up and talk to him. A few minutes after she left, Harry got up and headed out to somewhere in a hurry. So she decided to try again later.

When she sat down at the Slytherin table, she started chating with Daphne.

"I thought I saw you feeding a little kitten this morning. Am i correct?" Asked Daphne.

"Yes, you are correct. Her name is Jewell and she is 3 months old. She is also my bonded familiar. She is what is known as a blue tortoise shell. The jewel on her forehead, where she gets her name from, made her magical and helps to augment my magic." Replied Flora.
"That is very interesting. I hope to get to know Jewell better in the future with your permission of course."

"Of course you may Daphne. But it is really up to Jewell who she befriends since cats choose for themselves who to like and dislike. I think it is the same for all animals. Do you know where Harry Potter went? I had been hoping to talk to him and see if he knows away to find out if we are related or not."

"Mr. Potter might not know how to, but there is a potion that Professor Snape can brew that can answer that question. How bout we go ask him?"

"Thank you Daphne. Will you please accompany me?" Asked Flora.

"I would be honored to Flora." Responded Daphne.

When they got to Snape's office, they politely waited for a response. When they heard the response "Enter," they entered his office. When Snape looked up, he asked

"How may I help you young ladies?"

"Professor Snape, Sir, I was wondering if you could brew the potion to determine my family for me since everyone thinks I am related to Harry Potter." Replied Flora.

"If I may ask, why do you ask?" Asked Snape.

"I ask because my mother is missing. But even before she went missing, she had no memories older than 12 years. All she remembers is her name of Lily Potter. I'm hoping that if Mr. Potter and I are related, than he might be able to help me locate her."

"Well then, I shall help you. For if your related to him, than your mom would be my best friend. It just so happens that I have already brewed the potion since when I saw you, I thought you might be related to Lily, so i brewed it in case you came asking about it. You look to much like Lily did at your age not to be related. All that I need from you to complete the potion is a few drops of blood. Than we can see the results."

Flora than gave the blood. The results are as follows

Name: Flora Melinda Potter

Father: James Charlus Potter

Mother: Lily Evans Potter

Siblings: Harrison James Potter

"Unfortunitly, that is all that this potion will show. But it does confirm that you are related to Harry Potter. In fact, you are his sister." Stated Snape.

"Thank You Professor Snape." Exclaimed Flora.

"You are extremely welcome Ms. Potter."

"Professor? If I may be so bold, if you were friends with Lily Potter, why do you seem to hate her son, Harry Potter?" Asked Daphne.

"I don't. I am in fact one of his Godfathers. But I am maintaining my distance so as to not hurt him with my past. This must remain between just the three of us for now. Do you understand?"

"Yes Professor Snape. We completely understand and won't tell a single person what we learned today apart from the fact the Flora is Harry's sister." They both responded.

As they were leaving Snape's office, they both decided to that they would talk to Harry Potter the very next time they saw him.
