THROUGH IT YET AGAIN

DISCLAIMER:Nope, I do not own Harry Potter. It belongs to J.K. Rowling and I am only dipping in.

Warning:If you find someone or things who does not seem to belong to J.K. Rowling, then that would be my fault since I'm only using her work to create my own version of Harry Potter.

Notes: The whole story can still be quite foggy. I don't really know where it would lead me. My muse does not know either. Hopefully it would turn out alright. Hopefully…

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Chapter 7

And so it goes

Harry was fuming with anger and knew if he wasn't in the room who was suppressing his powers he would have blasted the woman to kingdom come.

"And you still have the audacity to show your face to me?!"

The woman smiled as if she read him once more. "You were looking for me."

He dismissed it aside knowing full well that the woman knew almost everything about him. "Why did you bring me in this world even after I refused you?!"

"I told you, you have no say to this."

This only triggered another anger on him. "Why don't I have a say on this?! It is my life!"

"After you saw them? You still don't want to help them?"

"Now that is sneaky," and Harry knew it. He could go on pretending he didn't care since the ones that mattered to him, the ones in his world were dead already but it wasn't possible anymore. From the time he saw Sirius and Remus, he already have decided he would do anything to keep them alive. And then he saw the other people and knew his life had turned upside down again only he didn't know whether to be angry at it or what.

The woman smiled serenely. "I'm giving you this chance to save your family and friends."

"No you're not," he exclaimed. "This is all about Voldemort and the wizarding world. It just so happens that my family are in it for a ride." He stopped suddenly. He had regarded the people in this world as his. It shouldn't be like that. There should only be one family and friends he had and they already died. He shouldn't feel the same thing about the people in this world.

Harry eyed her. "You really are a bastard. Tell me what will happen to me after this is over?"

"Would it change your decision? Would it change if I tell you, you will go back to your world after this?"

Harry didn't answer. He couldn't because he knew it wouldn't change his decision. He just hope he would die with Voldemort this time after the war.

The woman started to drift away again. Harry started to panic. He couldn't let her leave just yet.

"Wait, you can't leave."

But the woman continued talking. "I have one last advice to you. Do not think this is like your world because this is not. If everything seems the same then you are in a very big surprise. Be careful, Harry and don't take too long, the two worlds are colliding."

When the woman disappeared completely, He felt his legs grew weak as he sunk back on the chair. Now what?

ooo

"You can't possibly believe the boy." Severus Snape was the first to talk. He might loathe the Potters and didn't care about their dilemma but what might be decided about the child would definitely reflect on the order and with it the possibility of their downfall if it turned out that the boy was only playing at them.

All of them were silent. Each has its idea. Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley were now with them as well. They had been summoned by Dumbledore to help the Potters since Sirius and Remus were at a loss, too and everyone knew the Weasleys were the closest friends aside from Black and Lupin. The headmaster had told them about the boy and now Molly was comforting Lily while Arthur stood beside the headmaster opposite Severus. He was also torn between agreeing to Snape or go with Lily's instinct.

"I think the best way to stop this doubts is by giving the boy the veritaserum." Albus said at last. He saw how defeated Lily was when she looked at him but the safety of the order and everyone else involved with it directly and indirectly will suffer if they make a mistake. It was a risked he wouldn't take.

Severus flashed his victory smile at the three marauders. It was evident they were a bit disapproved on using the potion on a boy and the fact that the boy must be telling the truth gave them the scare of their lives.

ooo

Fred and George ran as fast as they could at the corridors. Percy was really pissed off at them. They didn't understand how they ended up with a brother like him. He was a bit different in all of the Weasley siblings. He was ambitious and obnoxious in such a way that everyone didn't like him. Well, Bill and Charlie might but only a little nevertheless because of his indifference, the twins always made fun of him.

"If I so much as get my hands on you, I'll kill you!" Percy shouted behind and the twins turned on each and every corner they could find.

The Black Manor house was so large that they still couldn't explore the whole lot. Their parents had warned them not to wander around. They knew the house had secrets that best not known. Even Sirius Black admitted he never dared to know everything on his own house.

Another turn and they were cornered. The two tried the four doors on each side but they could not open it. They might be in the good lead but soon Percy would be there and it would be the end of them. Not that their brother would really kill them but merlin knew what other things he could do without so much as thinking they were his brothers.

Fred and George tried again until they got tired and George decided to lean on the statue which resembled as a lion's head at the corner of the corridor. He had almost lost balance when it went down and a door was revealed behind it. The twins looked at each other with pride at their discovery and together they went in.

As soon as the two entered, the door closed behind them at once and the candles flickered at the side guiding down the sets of stairs.

Ooo

Ron looked at the clock at the top side center of the room. They had finished eating a while ago and had put aside the food for the other people that would want to eat later. The twins were not yet back and so was Percy.

"Where in merlin are they?" Ron said to himself and didn't realize he had said it out loud.

"There, there, I'm sure they can take care of themselves against Percy." Answered Charlie.

"I don't know," Bill said in a monosyllabic tone. "Percy might have been burying them somewhere by now."

"That is not funny." Said Ron who was actually picturing the scene.

Rian and Hermione could only shook their heads then Percy came inside the room, clearly he was still angry. Good thing his face was back to normal because then Bill and Charlie would laugh at him.

"Where are Fred and George?" asked Bill who was thinking of scolding the two for not being present in their dinner.

Percy knotted his brows. "How should I know. I've been looking for them in order to strangle them. I couldn't find them and I got hungry so I gave up – for now."

The rest glanced each other, who knew what kind of mischief they had put themselves now.

"May be their finding a way to eavesdrop again." Charlie muttered at them. The twins were known to abandon any pranks they were doing for a bigger thing.

"But they haven't succeeded so far." Said Bill.

"We'd better find them." Suggested Rian and only Percy did not join them in the search.

ooo

There was no question about it, the boy was telling the truth. James couldn't hide his emotion anymore and swiftly hugged his son in his arms. Lily joined him. Sirius and Remus stood behind them, also controlling their urged to embrace the child. It might be embarrassing how they had doubted him and hope the boy would forgive them. Snape on the other hand watched them with a raised brow. He was really disappointed the way things turned out and he might have left the room if it wasn't for the fact that the headmaster had not yet dismissed him. Arthur and Molly favoured the site. It was really a good scene. It might be unsettling that the boy came from another world and was not really the Harry Potter of their world but he was still Harry Potter and for them it was good enough.

When James and Lily had not shown any sign that they would released Harry, Albus had to clear his throat to bring their attention and laid the next plan they would be dealing with.

"I hope you wouldn't object if I tell the whole members of the order about this. They would see him so it would be better if we stop the gossip at once and let them know who he is."

The Potter parents had to clutch their son at the thought. It was still too sudden for them but the headmaster was right, the sooner to deal with it, the better.

"And how about Rian," reminded Molly. "How will you explain that his brother is alive?'

Harry who was awfully quiet the whole time felt he had been slapped on the face. How come he had a brother? So far everything was in the right place in the right order. Well, alive that is but having a brother was definitely out of place.

He had to squirmed free of his supposed parents to be able to talk. He looked at the two questioningly.

"I have a brother?"

A creaking sound much like the gargoyle made in the headmaster room came.

All of them jolted, wands out immediately at the area where they heard the noise. It surprised them to see the Weasley twins with their own alarmed face when the fire at the fireplace had disappeared and what remains had moved up.

For the first time, the two looked like an adult who had discovered something valuable and would be willing to die to pass it to someone who should know.

"How did you – how in the –" Arthur felt his face turned red in embarrassment for his sons actions.

"How much have you heard?" Molly asked in a tone that suggests how dangerous they were in.

The twins glanced at one another and to the boy the Potters were holding tightly in their arms as if to protect him from them. They had heard everything and there was no used lying to everyone about that. They knew someday their curiosity would get the best of them and clearly this was one of them.

Albus stepped forward, looking at the portal from which the fireplace had been once. He was rather impressed of the Weasley twins that they had found one of the secrets of the Black Manor. Now he felt obliged to study the rooms carefully before the order had to proceed to their meetings. Who knows who might eavesdrop at them.

"Tell me!" Molly was growing in rage. Never in her life was she faced in this situation before. Well, not at the expense of the order that is. It was embarrassing.

"Now Molly," said Dumbledore softly but was stopped when Fred and George stormed out of the room using the same portal at the once fireplace. Molly and Arthur quickly run after the two while the rest stood from their places, still recovering from the situation.

"Oh my," cursed Remus.

"I think we scared them." Followed Sirius.

Lily released Harry reluctantly and grasped her husband's elbow. "They might tell Rian. We have to follow them."

James could only nod and gestured to his son to look at him. "Listen, we'll leave you for a second, okay." The boy narrowed his eyes at his words. He knew Harry was not a child anymore and didn't need soothing words such as what he said. James kissed him on the forehead and so was Lily. The two used the same path the Weasley parents had taken.

Severus couldn't take anymore of the mushy scenes he had witnessed so far. He was so desperate to leave and was about to ask the headmaster for permission when the old man spoke again, obviously had regained the awkward gesture the twins had made out of him.

"Severus, we have to talk." Snape nodded and left the room at once. The headmaster turned at the two marauders before leaving. "We should let them do this alone. It is their right." Sirius and Remus both agreed and stayed in the room together with Harry. They were worried indeed but to have their own time with Harry was something they were looking forward.

Ooo

Fred and George dashed at the corridors. They knew their parents were behind them and didn't care whether they would be punished for eavesdropping. Today they found out something and felt a strong urge to inform their friend about it. Rian would be so happy - very happy if he finds out about Harry. Never mind the other things, the important thing right now was the fact that he had a brother. From what they've witnessed, the elders were not yet planning on telling Rian about it. They did not agree because they knew Rian would never forgive anyone if he was at a blind about this. The twins ran because they saw it in the elders the severity of their action and they knew if they didn't say it now it would be a long time before their friend would find out.

With another corner, Fred and George bumped into someone causing them to stumble forward.

"What in merlin are you doing?" said Rian in an irritated voice. The twins stumbled on top of him and they were quite heavy.

Fred and George grasped his shoulders, shaking him roughly.

"We-we found out something." Started Fred.

"Its important." Continued George.

"What?" Rian could see how sweaty the two. "Slow down."

By this time Bill, Charlie, Ron and Hermione have trailed Rian from his voice and watched the three from the floor.

"Its your brother." Fred said.

His eyes grew wide. He didn't know what his friends were talking about but the word brother was not a joke for him.

"What brother? What are you talking about?"

"Ha-Harry. Its about Harry." Said Fred.

Now he really didn't like where this was going. If they were joking they knew he wouldn't forgive them when it comes to his deceased brother. He sat up straight since they were still on the floor. He shook Fred's shoulder roughly like what they did to him.

"What are you talking about?! Speak!"

"Frederick Marcilus Weasley!"

The three looked up at the place where the voice came from. The twins could see how angry their mother was, their father beside her with the same anger as her.

"What is going on here?" demanded Rian looking at the twins then at their parents.

Arthur and Molly could only looked at each other with guilt expression.

"We're going to tell you."

All of them found James and Lily who just appeared behind Arthur and Molly.

Ooo

"We're really sorry about the way we treated you. I knew it was you by the way but I couldn't know for sure. You know how we must be careful and all."

Harry could only nod. Sirius has been ranting ever since the headmaster and Snape came out of the room. He tried to digest what he was saying but his thoughts wandered about the brother his parents were talking about a while ago.

"Sirius, you should stop now." Said Remus and moved over to Harry. His face was friendly again. "You must be hungry."

The door opened suddenly and they all stood frozen as Rian burst in. Harry could only caught a glimpse of the young man before he was quickly imprisoned in his arms.

"Harry, Harry." The young man said his name over and over again. The gesture had left him speechless. He didn't know who the guy was but given his hazel eyes like his father and red hair like his mother, he could safely say this was his brother.

"Rian, he is…" he heard Lily talked from behind. He couldn't see since his head was on the chest of the guy.

"I don't care! This is my brother."

Harry had snapped out of his shock and wriggled free from his grasp. They stared at each other when his supposedly brother had let go of him reluctantly.

Rian cupped his cheek with affection and he couldn't react. "You are Harry." He said with assurance to himself.

Then another movement came from the door and Harry looked at that direction. He saw Arthur, Molly, Bill, Charlie, the twins and two of his best friends standing at the threshold.

"Ron, Hermione." He said under his breath but the others had heard it.

He didn't notice when Rian released his hold on him as he made his way to the said teens. Their face showed no recognition of him.

No one moved as he put his trembling hands on each one of their shoulders. He felt weak all of a sudden. His head spinning but tried to focus his vision on the two.

"You don't know how happy I am to see you alive– again – like- this..." He said hoarsely, his legs suddenly gave way and he felt falling backwards. Someone caught him at once but he couldn't make out who it was as his world turned black.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Please review. I would appreciate it. Really appreciate it.

Thanks to those who reviewed.

Rian is older by the way. I distinctly remembered having written that last chapter. His age? Same as the Weasley twins, at about two year older than Harry, well almost. I'm still thinking about his birthday. My muse does not bother about the details so I had to remind her when it comes to that.
