Chapter Five

Family Matters

The four boys entered the dining hall. Harry was strongly reminded of Hogwarts as the noise level was unbelievable. The hall was a combination of platinum blond, jet black, bright red and the odd brunette here and there. A girl ran up to them with a smile and platinum blond hair. She gave a curtsy before giving all four a hug in turn and ran back to her seat.

"That was Tanith, Silver's younger sister." Emerald whispered to Draco and Harry. Harry nodded. Silver slung an arm around Draco leading him up one side of the table as Emerald did the same to Harry on the opposite side.

Breakfast commenced quickly only making the noise level rise. Harry sat silently watching everyone around him. Since the last time, he had stood in front of the Mirror of Erised, he was surrounded by family and he felt loved. He looked over at Draco who seemed transfixed with his plate. Harry realized neither of them had touched their food. He looked down at his food before starting to eat.

"Harry how's your ankle doing?" a voice called. He turned to see who had spoken to find his mother staring back at him. She smiled kindly at him in an almost knowing way.

"Oh it's better now." Harry answered with a small smile. Lily nodded.

"Just be careful today. I don't want you farther injured for when you travel again." Lily said before turning to converse with Narcissa about a new book they had read. Harry turned to Emerald who shrugged in response to his unasked question.

"Mother's intuition, I'll never understand it." Emerald commented before returning to his food.

Draco listened to the conversations going on around him. His home was always silent when there was a meal unless there were guests. He found it even stranger to see his "father" laughing with a Potter. 'I almost wished it was like this at home. That everyone was happy and there was no fear. Too bad it's only a wish that will never come true.' Draco thought in a depressed mood as he started to eat.

All the children were ushered outside to the courtyard as the grown-ups left to go about whatever they did for the day. Harry watched as Emerald and Silver dragged Draco over to him. Draco was completely in his own world lost in his thoughts about everything going on around him. Emerald and Silver sat Harry and Draco down at a table with four chairs. A group of redheads came over and Harry was happy to see the four youngest Weasley's standing before him. Silver smiled at them before asking them to leave for a moment so they could speak with Harry and Draco. They nodded and left silently going to join in on a conversation with others. Silver turned to Harry and Draco looking completely serious.

"We were thinking that perhaps it'd be better if you told the group about you being from the future." Silver whispered. Emerald nodded in agreement. Harry and Draco traded looks before shaking their heads.

"We don't want to change the past remember. If we tell more than a few people it may completely alter the past." Draco replied to his twin. Silver nodded slowly looking at Emerald waiting to see if he agreed.

"If that's what you want then that's what you'll get." Emerald said touching his forehead where his twin had the scar. Harry did the same in return realizing what it meant. Draco looked at them confused. Silver opened his palm to trace a line down his hand and Draco copied with a small smirk. A promise was a promise after all either between purebloods or half-bloods. Silver gave a smirk as an idea formed in his head.

"Come along you two. I have an idea. Since you've been a way for so long we will reintroduce you to everyone. We always liked to play dumb sometimes so why not?" Silver suggested. Draco nodded as Harry shrugged. Emerald grinned and slowly stood strolling over to the group of redheads. The rest followed behind.

"Hello, seeing as Harry and Draco have been gone for so long we have decided it best to reintroduce everyone to refresh their memory." Emerald said with a sideways grin. The Weasley's nodded before the twins stepped forward.

"Hello." They said in unison.

"I'm Fred." Fred replied.

"And I'm George." George chimed after his brother.

"And it's a pleasure to have you back." They finished in unison. Harry smiled at them shaking their hand. Draco took it uncertain as to what he was getting himself into.

"How come we never do that?" Harry asked Emerald. Emerald laughed a little.

"We do but since we have been apart for a long time we are a little out of sync with each other. Give it a few days and we'll be finishing each other's sentences." Emerald said grinning.

"And don't forget moving the same way, acting the same and doing everything the same. That includes getting into trouble with Fred and George. All the twins in the group have this knack of getting into trouble." Silver stated. The other two Weasley's walked over slowly. Ron walked forward and Harry almost wanted to give him a hug to show how much he missed him. He gave Emerald a hug and they laughed before he turned to Harry.

"I don't think you've forgotten all the trouble we all used to get into as children. Getting lost in the forest and fighting off a troll. We won to say the least if you remember that." Ron said. Harry grinned.

"How could I forget us fighting a troll? It's good to see you Ron." Harry said. Ron grinned before shaking hands with Draco.

"We've had quite a few adventures ourselves Malfoy. We were exploring the grounds and we found a dragon in a cave. I don't think I've seen you ever run that fast in all my life." Ron reminisced. Draco smirked at him. Ron nodded walking away to wrap his arms around a girl's waist a few steps away. A girl with her head down walked forward shyly. Harry shook his head.

"Oh come on Ginny I know you aren't shy. If I remember correctly you can be a little hellion." Harry stated. Ginny's head moved up and she gave him a quick hug before she turned to Draco with a curtsy. He bowed in return. She stood looking him in the eyes.

"I know we've never been close Draco but maybe this time around we can be good friends." She said before walking off. Silver looked at them standing more in front of Harry and Draco.

"The good thing about the Weasley's is they rarely do arranged marriages. The children are free to date who they want to and marry who they want. If I remember correctly the last arranged marriage in the Weasley family was over 50 years ago." Silver said. Emerald nodded before grabbing his twin and his best friend's twin walking them over to another group. Ron stood with his arms wrapped around a petite girl's waist. When they approached Harry's eyes widened.

"Harry you remember Hermione don't you?" Ron asked. Harry nodded in almost mind numbing shock. Ron and Hermione were together if only they would stop all their bantering at home and get together. Draco shook her hand in confusion. Harry turned to Emerald.

"Can I speak to you for a moment, brother in private?" Harry asked and Emerald walked away from the group to stand with Harry in confusion.

"What's the matter?" Emerald asked. Harry sighed.

"I know this is probably going to sound weird but in my time, Hermione is a muggle-born witch. There wasn't a trace of magic in her family." Harry said. Emerald raised an eyebrow.

"The Grangers' are currently mostly half-bloods as the family doesn't always marry other wizards. Hermione's mother is a muggle and has a hard time adapting when she's surrounded by wizards but she does okay." Emerald replied. Harry nodded before they entered the group again. Silver raised an eyebrow at Emerald as introductions commenced again.

"This is my older brother, Alexander. He isn't around too much but he came for a visit today before he goes off to his studies at home." Hermione said. Alexander smiled. He had the same brown hair as Hermione but not as bushy as he kept it short. His brown eyes sparkled and dance with the magic underneath the surface. Harry could tell he was definitely a Granger. A girl stood beside him with reddish brown hair and bright blue eyes. She was short and slender with an almost sun-kissed skin.

"Hello, I'm Marian Pucey. I believe you know my brother." She said with a sweet smile. Draco nodded. Harry noticed Alexander's hand brush against Marian's own hand and he gave a little smile. Harry bowed to her and she curtsied in turn.

"This is my younger brother Neal." Hermione said motioning towards the only other person in the group. Neal had a slightly darker shade of brown hair, strange aqua blue eyes and the only thing that told Harry he was a Granger was the facial structure. He shook hands with Harry and Draco before they were taken away by Emerald and Silver. They approached another group who turned to look at them.

"We are just doing re-introductions as we all have changed over the years since these two have left. So who wishes to go first?" Emerald said.

"Hello, I'm Luna Lovegood and this is Sol." Luna replied pointing to her twin sister who waved shyly. Another girl stepped forward with a small smile.

"I'm Estelle. Luna and Sol are my older sisters." Estelle said. A tall, lanky boy reached out his hand to shake Harry and Draco's.

"It's good to see you again Draco." The boy said. Draco nodded with a smirk.

"Yes it's good to see you too Theodore." Draco said. Theodore nodded back and smiled at Harry. A brown haired boy with bright eyes bounded over from beside his brother.

"The name's Owen, Owen Finnigan. Seamus is my older brother." Owen said before bounding off again. Harry and Draco looked at each other and shrugged before turning to Seamus who had Dean standing quietly beside him. The four nodded to each other in understanding before they were off to another group of people.

The first person quickly reached out to give them both a hard hug. The dark-skinned, dark-haired teen flashed pearly white teeth. Draco smiled with a laugh finally finding the one person he had trusted with his life back home.

"Blaise Zabini it's good to see you. Pansy, how are you?" Draco asked looking at the two with a smile. Harry looked at Silver and the blond shook his head not understanding his "brother" either. Blaise grinned.

"Here let me introduce to you again to my older brother Christopher and my younger brother Logan." Blaise said dragging them over to the two who shook hands with them. Christopher was tall, dark and handsome with a shy brunette girl on his arm. She had a distinct round face but his attention was quickly grabbed back to the other brother Logan. He was the lightest skinned of them all with dark hair and light hazel eyes. Tanith stood dutifully beside him. It dawned on Harry that this was her arranged marriage partner but she kept looking over at another group with longing. Christopher cleared his throat.

"This is Dawn Longbottom, my fiancée." Christopher said. Harry bowed to her and she curtsied in turn doing the same to Draco. Pansy grabbed each their arms dragging them over to a group of her family and some of their other friends.

"These are my sisters. This is my oldest sister Clover and my older sister Jasmine." Pansy said. Clover was slender with short black hair and glittering dark eyes while Jasmine had long flowing dark brown hair with light brown eyes and she was well sculpted. They were both very beautiful in their own way; it was a shame that Pansy was pretty but would never be a competition to her sisters. They both curtsied to Harry and Draco who bowed in return.

"It's too bad your lover wasn't here Clover. You're the only lucky one that didn't have to have an arranged marriage and of all people you chose Charlie Weasley." Pansy said. Emerald quickly pulled Harry and Draco to the other side of the group. A boy with a distinct round face stood beside none-other than the one and only Neville Longbottom. Neville smiled at Harry giving him a hug and shaking hands with Draco.

"This is my younger brother Ryan but of course you knew that as your sister is engaged to him." Neville said. Ryan quietly shook their hands and went off to stand dutifully beside Jade while staring in the direction of Tanith. An older boy approached them with a few others following behind him.

He shook Harry and Draco's hand and nodded at Emerald and Silver while waiting for the rest to people behind him to catch up. He tapped his foot impatiently allowing Harry to get a good look at him. He had short spiked reddish brown hair and cobalt blue eyes. He was tall but well built and his skin was tanned showing long periods of exposure to the sun. Harry clued in that this was Marian's brother and then he realized where he knew Pucey from as he was a chaser for Slytherin back home.

"I'm Adrian Pucey. You met my sister Marian already. This is Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle as I presume you know." Adrian said. Vincent and Gregory shook their hands before going off to wrestle each other. "This is Cory Goyle and Megan Crabbe. They're engaged." Cory was a little nicer looking than his younger brother but still had the Goyle traits at least he looked smarter than Gregory. Megan was a completely different story. She was short and curvaceous. She had shoulder length brown hair and almond shaped brown eyes, altogether she was rather very pretty.

Adrian moved out of the way with a bow to let another person walk towards Harry and Draco. A tall, broad shouldered young man walked forward with two small pretty girls behind him. He seemed to command respect as he bowed to them both before enveloping Harry in a hard hug.

"It is good to see you again, Harry." He said in a thick accent. The Bulgarian seeker and Triwizard champion from last year stood before him.

"It's good to see you too, Viktor." Harry said politely as old memories came back. Draco smiled as he took Viktor's hand. The two girls stood quietly waiting their turn. When Viktor stepped aside, Harry saw Gabrielle who had came with Iris that morning. She smiled at them giving them both a hug.

"Gabrielle, where are your manners?" Fleur said in her French accent. Gabrielle muttered something before stepping back to curtsy.

"I am Fleur and I trust you remember Gabrielle. It is good to see you both again." She said. Silver smiled at her as she stood beside Viktor.

"Viktor is engaged to Bianca as you should remember and as you know Gabrielle is engaged to Emerald." Silver stated to Harry and Draco who both nodded as he said this. "Fleur is going to be marrying Bill Weasley soon. When is the date again Fleur?"

"The wedding is June next year. It shall be beautiful you all should be getting your invitation soon. I stopped by to ask your mothers' advice on something with Molly. They are in the house talking now and I must get back. It was good seeing you both again." Fleur said before curtsying and departing towards the doors.

Emerald and Silver took Harry and Draco over to a table that was all of their family members. They all smiled and jumped up to give them hugs. Some came back to give them another hug as they were told how much they had been missed.

"Just as we have been doing this is our little joke of the day. We are going to reintroduce everyone including you guys even though you are family. It might be fun." Emerald said happily as he pointed to an older jet black-haired boy with Lily's eyes. "That is Michael and beside him is Bianca, Silver's and Draco's older sister." Bianca was just as Silver had described her but she was pretty.

"That is Iris, Harry and Emerald's sister and beside her is Jade, also their sister." Silver said with a smirk. "Well that's everyone. I guess we are done for now. We'll talk to you guys later."

The four walked away and sat down at an abandoned table. Emerald sighed and Silver laid his head down on his arms with an almost exhausted look. Harry looked at Emerald with a small smile.

"Thank you for your help." Harry said. Emerald waved it off with his hand.

"It's nothing plus it helps you out. Don't worry half of them aren't always around. This weekend though is big so everyone is pretty much around. It's Michael's birthday two days from now so everyone has been here making plans to have it go perfectly. We'll have to tell you a few of the twists and turns later about everyone but right now we have to listen to the teacher for a half an hour." Emerald replied as a tall, sleek and greasy man walked into the room. Harry's worst nightmare, Professor Snape just walked into the room.

To Be Continued…

I know this chapter was boring with the introduction but you kind of had to know who was around for the story to work. Most of the people aren't going to around unless they have a connection to a Potter or a Malfoy. But I hope you enjoyed and that it'll get more interesting soon. I'm still trying to let you get a feel for their surroundings. Please Review.
