Chapter 22: Christmas and Unexpected Guests

It was Christmas and the Risans decided to wear their formal robes from Risa since it was a very special day here. Storm was wearing chain mail and over that, a black and royal blue long shirt. The shirt and belt wrapped around the middle. On the back was the family crest with Storm's name written in the Ancient Language above the crest. All the boys had similar outfits. The only difference was he family crest name and colors. Mist was gold and blue, Apollo white and silver.

The girls were wearing long flowing dresses also; with a belt around the waist, their family crest adored the sleeves and little above the right breast. Their names in the Ancient language were written around the collar and helm. Flame had deep burgundy for the bodice and gold sleeves. Air grey and clear. Layla, black and grey. Athena, white and gold.

There weapons were invisible but still with them. The men had their swords, and daggers on their belt. Their bow and arrows were on their backs. The women had their daggers all along the belt and their bow and arrows on their backs. They were always prepared.

"I was told to give these to you," a small voice said. Storm looked behind him to see a boy probably an second year. He had an envelope in his hand with Storm's name on it.

"Thank you," Storm said and the boy rushed off as soon as Storm took the envelope.

"What does it say," Flame asked as she took a sip of pumpkin juice. Everyone was sitting at the Gryffindor table.

"The Headmaster wants to see all of us now," Storm said.

Everyone got up but Mist who was quickly buttering his toast. "What for? Does it say?" Athena asked as the exited the Great Hall.

"Nothing just he needs to see us," Storm said and the group quickly dashed off.

The group quickly got to the griffin that guarded the Headmasters office. "Chocolate Frogs," Storm said quickly and the group ascended the stairs.

Apollo knocked and the group heard a quite, "Come in."

"You wanted to see us," Storm asked.

"Storm! Mist! Storm! Mist!" a little voice cried and a brunette haired nine-year-old jumped on Storm.

Storm catching her at the last minute took the nine-year-old up in his arms and gave her a huge bear hug. "What are you doing here Hemera?"

"Not just me, Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Artemis, Uncle Ares, Uncle Hepeteus, Aunt Aphrodite, Mr. Vulcan and Mrs. Diana are also here," Hemera pointed over to where all the other adults where.

"Mom, Dad," Storm cried at hurried over to his family. Everyone else separated to their different family.

"So what are you doing here?" Storm asked Sirius after a lot of hugging.

"We came to see how all of you are doing and the Royal Family wants to talk with all of you but mainly you Storm. But they'll come later," Sirius said.

"May you please tell me who you are," Dumbledore asked reminding everyone that he was still in the room.

"Right well, you know Lunesta and Sirius so everyone else introduce ourselves."

"I'm Aphrodite, my husband, Hephateus. Were the parents of Apollo," Aphrodite said and hugged Apollo who pouted.

"My name is Ares brother to Lunesta. My wife Artemis and I are the proud parents of Layla, Flame and Air," Ares said with a wicked smile.

"Hello my name is Diana, this is my husband Vulcan. We're the parents of Athena," Diana said and gave full smile.

"And I'm Hemera, daughter of Sirius and Lunesta, sister to Storm and Mist," Hemera said and stuck her nose up in the air in a mocking way. Storm and Mist both chuckled.

"So Lunesta and Sirius are the King and Queen and young Hemera is also a princess?" Dumbledore asked.

No one answered but Sirius, "Headmaster we will answer all questions later on tonight. But Lunesta and I are not the Queen and King and young Hemera is not a princess even though she is to me." Dumbledore gave a raised eyebrow.

"Athena what is that around your neck?" Artemis asked. Athena blushed slightly as she remembered opening the package earlier today.

FLASHBACK

"Athena wake up, you have a present," Air said. Athena just moaned and switched to her other side her back to Air. "Athena there is a gift here from some named Dragon." Athena bolted up and took the present and card out of Air's hand.

Dear Goddess of Wisdom, Crafts, Strategic Warfare and Heroes,

I give you this present as a sign of my utter devotion to you. The rest will come on New Years Eve at midnight. Love forever,

Dragon

Athena opened up the present and inside was necklace. The necklace was in the shape if a heart with jewels along the border. In the middle were the words, Love forever.

END FLASHBACK

"Just a gift from a friend I made," Athena said with a secretive smile. Everyone but the Headmaster had raised eyebrows of surprise. Dumbledore just had a twinkle.

"My little girl is growing up," Vulcan said with a smile.

"Who wants a tour of the castle," Flame asked.

Everyone cheered. "Is there anything else you need from us," Storm asked. Dumbledore just shook his head. "All right, Hufflepuff you're first."

When the group got off the revolving steps and started to make their way to the kitchen was when everyone sighed with relief. "Who wants to make a bet that the old man is confused about who Storm and Mist really are?" Sirius asked everyone raised their hands. "It's unanimous he is confused." Everyone laughed.

"So why did you guys visit," Flame asked.

"One we wanted to see you again. Two we wanted to know how you were doing. Three because Sirius informed us that this was the time families usually got together so we decided to visit you. Also the Royal Family has something to tell Storm and the Royal Family needs body guards on this planet," Ares said.

"Daddy, what would you do if you ever see Harry again?" Vanessa voice asked. Storm put a finger to his lips telling everyone to be quiet.

"Give him a got punch in the ear for breaking your mother and me up," James said. Storm, Sirius, Lunesta, Mist and Hemera had angry looks, while everyone else had looks of resentment and disgust.

How dare he! Flame exclaimed.

It wasn't me you idiot it was you. I can't wait to tell you who I really am, Storm said with sarcasm. I am never going to forgive that fool.

"Let's trash this party," Sirius said and strolled over to where James and Vanessa. "Why hello, Bambi, little Thumper."

"I'm not a rabbit," Vanessa spat.

"Judging by how often you are in bed with boys you are," Storm said and strolled over to where Sirius was and everyone else fallowing. "Even if you're not pregnant."

All the teenagers broke off laughing. The adults looked shocked but Sirius and Hemera looked confused. "I'm not a slut!" Vanessa shouted. All of the kids from Hogwarts rolled their eyes.

"Storm, Mist what's a slut," Hemera asked.

"Something you don't need to know about. Oh, Potter no cursing in front of the nine year old," Storm said.

"She's your daughter, Storm," Vanessa asked.

"No, little sister, so treat her with the same respect you treat me. Probably more though if you want good food," Storm replied. Vanessa and James jut looked confused while everyone else was sniggering.

"Anyways we were going to the kitchens then the Hufflepuff common room. So onward ho," Flame said and the group left.

"I'm still not believing that woman is my twin sister. Even though she does act a whole lot like her younger self," Storm said once they got father away.

"So that was your biological father and sister. They deserve a spanking especially that girl. How rude. If she grew up in Risa she would be much better behaved," Vulcan said and shook his head.

"Yeah well if she grew up at Risa she would have died from the physical education and everything," Athena remarked a bit of pride was hinted in her voice.

"You know what is really sad though," Air said. "Is that there are more girls just like her on this planet even worse then her. Earth really has lost its nobility and pride over the years. Back in the day when we lived together, if you lied once you lost honor now everyone lies you can't trust anyone."

"Yep, people will with hold information saying it's for the greater good. But it isn't, it just makes it worse," Layla murmured.

"Even when Voldemort is gone. I believe that this planet is not ready for us. We should still stay on Risa but keep communications though. But there is to much violence and all for us to live peacefully," Storm said quietly.

"You're probably right, Storm," Sirius said and put a hand on his shoulders. "Which is probably why we need to be here once he is gone. To help restore the world."

"It will be difficult. Everyone here is a stuck up, hot headed, I'm always right your wrong persona," Apollo muttered.

"We still need to do what we can," Aphrodite said just as quietly.

"So what does the Royal Family want to talk to me about," Storm asked Lunesta and Sirius.

"You'll find out an hour after dinner," Lunesta said and the group went off to talk about other things as the tour went on.

"Hello King Helios, Queen Luna, Prince Star, Princess Comet, we bid you welcome," Storm said and all the men bowed while the women curtsied.

"It is good to see you Storm, Flame, Air, Mist, Apollo, Layla and Athena," King Helios said with a kind smile.

"We must also talk with the Headmaster of the school," Princess Comet said.

"Okay, the Headmaster's office is this way," Storm said and made the quick trip to the Headmasters office.

"Chocolate Frogs," Apollo said and the gargoyle jumped out of the way and the group quickly went up the stairs.

Storm knocked on the door, "Come in."

"Professor Dumbledore, please meet the Royal Family of Risa. King Helios the VII, Queen Luna the VII, Prince Star the VII and Princess Comet the VII" Storm said. When Storm called their names, the person came in and after Princess Comet came in everyone else did.

"Headmaster, we are only here to inform you of a change in the plan. Storm, Flame, Mist and Air tell him you're full names when you lived here," Queen Luna asked.

"What?" Storm practically shouted.

"Storm, Voldemort is afraid of you and Harry once he learns they are the same he will be frightened. People who are scared tend to make bad mistakes," King Helios said.

"The war will end quicker if you tell the public who you really are," Prince Star said and put a hand on Storm's shoulder and gave it a squeeze.

"Fine, my Risaen name is Storm, but my Earth name is Harry James Potter."
