Chapter 4

"Yes Harry, my grandparents are Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall. They didn't tell you because their daughter, my mother, told them not to. They wish they could have told you. They wanted to take you with them on that night but you would have been in even more danger. They would want to know that you now know. I haven't even told Sirius or Remus that they are my grandparents. My mum had forbid me from telling them. I don't know why my mum did that but she did. I'm sorry you didn't know Harry" James explained.

"It's ok, really. I'm just in shock. I always thought of Dumbledore like a grandfather to me and now I know he is or rather was my great-grandfather! But McGonagall, I would have never expected her to be my great-grandmother. Wow! Anything else I need to know?" Harry was so, so shocked.

"Yes. My grandfather has a brother named Aberforth. He works at the Hog's Head in Hogsmead. Or at least I think he still does, well from the last time I talked to him. Oh Harry there are so many people on my father's side of the family that are still alive and I don't know most of them. I am so sorry you had to live with the Dursleys. That was the worst choice to have chosen as a family for you. I am so sorry" James apologized.

"I forgive you dad. I just wish I had known. So if I talked to McGonagall, what would I call her?" Harry asked.

"She said a long time ago that if I had a child and she was still alive, she would like to be called Gran. I don't know about Grandfather though. I never asked him" James answered.

"Ok. I believe that I need to pay them a visit. I just realized something. If they weren't your grandparents, then you probably wouldn't have passed school" Harry said.

"Exactly. But I am their only grandchild so they treated me differently. I was special to them no matter how many detentions I got or how many pranks I pulled. Grandfather had a good humor with the pranks. Grandmother on the other hand, did not. I want to see her very much" James said.

"Dad, could you please take me to see her then?" Harry asked with a smile on his face.

"Sure Harry, I'd love to" James replied, also with a smile on his face.

James stood up as did Harry. Harry hung onto his dad, apparating to McGonagall's office.

James and Harry landed outside her office.

"Harry you go in first and I'll come in, in a little bit, ok?" James said.

"Ok dad" Harry said, knocking on the office door.

"Come in" Harry heard McGonagall say.

Harry opened the door and his great-grandmother looked up to see who it was.

"Good evening Harry. What brings you here this evening?" Minerva asked.

"Good evening great-grandmother, or should I say Gran" Harry said.

"Harry, how could you possibly know that?" Minerva asked, surprised that Harry knew.

Harry was about to respond but the door opened.

"He knows that because I told him Grandmother" James said, walking into the room.

Minerva dropped everything she was holding and looked at him in shock.

"JAMES!" Minerva screamed, getting up as fast as she could to hug him.

"How is this at all possible?" Minerva asked, letting him go.

"I can explain that Minerva. Hello James, hello Harry" Albus Dumbledore's picture on the wall said.

"Albus…how?" Minerva let escape her mouth.

"Hello grandfather" James said.

"Hello great-grandfather" Harry said.

"I haven't seen you in 16 years and you had to go and die on me" James said on a chuckle, although it was quite sad.

"I'm sorry James, but it had to happen this way"

"Albus Percival Wolfric Brian Dumbledore! You didn't answer the question!" Minerva screamed, waking up half the other pictures on the wall.

Albus explained what happened and she was more than a little angry with Albus for not telling her that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law are alive still.

"I think we'll go. I'm so happy to see you again Grandmother" James said.

"Alright James. I can't believe it! Just so you know Professor Slughorn is still here as is Professor Flitwick, just in case you wanted to talk to them. Please do not cause any trouble for them or the picture of the Fat Lady. I have to talk to your grandfather before I can talk more to you. I'm glad you are alright James, as I am about Lily. I'm also glad you now know Harry. We've wanted to tell you so many times but our daughter wouldn't have let us, even if she isn't here anymore. So we respected her very much and did as she wished; we kept silent about it" Minerva said.

"Goodbye grandmother, we hope to see you very soon. Come on Harry" James said.

"Ok James. Goodbye" Minerva said.

James gave her a hug and went out the door, Harry following close behind.
