Angel on Campus Keeperoliver Chapter 7

A/N: I just wanted to let every one know that because of Thanksgiving, I will be absent from writing, until it's over. Maybe Friday or Saturday at the latest. But most of all, I would love to thank all the followers of this story, especially the last chapter, which was a huge success. I had over three thousands hits on that chapter alone. The response to it was more than amazing, as are you, my Angel fans. Please continue to follow this story, and let me know how I am doing. Also to let you know, I am still undecided as to who will be Harry's Mate. As always, Ollie the Keeper.

P.S. I am thinking of writing a story, where Lily stays with Harry, after she dies, as a ghost, who appears before people, when she has something she needs to tell them. Pairings have already been made H/G/LL/D. D is not a love interest, and Hermione will be closer in this story, than in canon, but, also not a love interest. Let me know what you think about it. K.O.

Luna leaned over the fallen body of Harry, after he passed out. James and Lillian looked worried, as they felt they were the cause of him getting hurt. Ginny and Hermione did their best to assure them that Harry just passed out from excitement.

Luna was finally able to bring him around, and he looked at her with confusion. "Luna, did James and Lillian just say their last name was Evans?"

"Yes, they did Harry. I can't believe that you never had the idea to ask them yourself. But, then again, I'm lucky you didn't, as I would not have been there to help you. I think you and Hermione need to do some research on their patents, and see if they are related. There's just too much coincidence in the situation to be otherwise. Your Aunt might be able to help out too." Luna added.

"I don't look forward to that meeting. Hermione may not want to help out either, seeing as how i treated her for the past four years."

"Harry, of course I'll help. Don't forget, the reason you treated like you did, is all my fault. Ginny can help out too. And like Luna said, Petunia is probably the first place to start." Ginny nodded her head, as if to say she would help Harry also.

Harry got up, and pulled the two children into a hug, "Listen guys, I have a lot of explaining to do, and you may be able to fill in quite a few holes. First, let me tell you, we may be related, like maybe cousins."

Lillian squealed in a happy sounding noise, and James just smiled, and said, "SWEET!".

Harry laughed at the response of his two young concerns. He hoped beyond hope, that they were related. It would be great to have a family, he didn't know existed. He was so wrapped up in the moment, he didn't realize he was still hugging the two, and Lillian began turning purple. She gasped out, "Harry, can't breathe. Let up a little."

Harry blushed, as he released James and Lillian, and took a seat, to regain his composure. He took a sip of his tea, and began to calm down.

Ginny made her first comment since Luna made her facts known. "So, I take it, Your mom may have had someone else besides Petunia, you could have gone to? I wonder why you went to Petunia instead of her other relative?"

Hermione reflected on this, "Perhaps he was younger, and still in school, not yet married." It made perfect sense. Of course that would be the reason, but, why hadn't Petunia ever said anything about it.

Harry then thought of something, "Maybe Minerva can help us out? She would know every body who attended Hogwarts. She should know if there was another Evans family member?"

Hermione, once again had an answer. "Suppose they didn't go to Hogwarts? Minerva wouldn't know of them, if that was the case."

"If they didn't go to Hogwarts, that would mean they went else where. Possibly the Continent, or the States. They might have been home schooled, too." Ginny threw in.

Luna bit her lip, "It is too soon, to be making assumptions. First we have to find Harry a place that will allow him to properly bring up these two. They can't stay here, as it is too cramped. Harry also needs a bed, as the couch doesn't look too comfortable. Now, where do you think would be the most logical place?"

Both Hermione and Ginny said together, "Black Manor."

"NO!"

"What?"

"I said no. Their are too many bad memories there. Besides, we still have a lot of issues to get past before we can be that close. Ginny, I have never stopped loving you, but, this time apart has made me realize that we were not as close as I thought we were. And Hermione, You were right. Ginny's reaction after the battle was predictable, and it hurt, but, would not cause me to leave. Your comment was the driving force that made me leave. It was the last thing I expected of you. That hurt me more than anything."

With tears in her eyes, Hermione said, "I knew it the moment I said it Harry. I wanted to apologize, but, you were gone, the moment I said them. I regret that moment so much, it's haunted me ever since. I keep seeing the shocked look in your eyes, after I said it. Then I keep seeing the wet marks, and finger prints on my shirt, and I still want to kill Ron for what he did. He not only made a fool out of me, but, because of his lust, he drove the best friend I ever had away."

Ginny replayed the events after his departure, "Harry, your leaving drove me away from mom and dad. They kept bringing up you would have still been there if Hermione and I had used our heads, and tried to show more compassion. She wouldn't let it go. It got so bad, that the day before Hermione and I went back to school, I told them that when school was over, Hermione and I would not be coming back. It was just luck that you never told Kreacher to forget what you had told him about us, and the Manor. And our luck continued when We were approached by two wizards, asking us if we were interested in a career with the Ministry."

Harry grinned at this, "Sorry Ginny, there was no luck involved. I didn't tell Kreacher to forget what i said, because I knew Hermione would need a place to stay, before she left to get her parents. I didn't know if she wanted to stay at the Burrow, because of all the emotions that were going on. As for the positions with the Ministry, Kingsley contacted me, before I left the school. He told me of the positions that would be opening up in about a year, and wanted me to take a job, in the ministry, until they opened up. I told him no, that I was leaving the wizarding world. I told him that I thought that Hermione would want to complete her education, and would graduate, around the time that the positions would be opening. Yes, that second one may have been lucky, but, if anyone deserved it, you did."

Ginny thanked Harry for the kind words, and Hermione smiled for the first time, since sitting at the table.

James and Lilian sat there being quiet, while the group talked, then James opened up, "Harry, we were never able to get that Ice Cream. Do you think we could get some of that Ice Cream Aunt Luna bought?"

Luna's eyes brightened up at her being called Aunt. She liked the sound of it. She got up, and found the bowls and spoons, got the Ice Cream, and served each a helping. Hermione finished hers off in Ron fashion, and helped her self to a second helping, causing Harry to snicker. "What, can I help it if I love this so much, and it's been so long since I had it?" she smirked, licking her lips, to get the last of it.

Ginny pushed her shoulders, and laughed. Harry saw something there that intrigued him, but, wanted to wait for a different time to ask about it.

They made their plans on how to proceed, with Petunia being their first stop. With tomorrow being Saturday, it was best to get it over with.

Harry and the kids met Luna, Hermione and Ginny at the Leaky Cauldron, then Apparated to the playground up the street from the Dursley's. #4 Privot Drive had never been Harry's favorite place to visit. Some of his worst memories started there. They were never close, until that final day, when they went into hiding. Harry felt Dudley really was trying to patch things up between them, but, there wasn't enough time, to say what he felt.

They approached the door, wondering if they had ever returned. They got their answer soon enough, when Petunia answered the door, and was shocked to see her nephew, and his friends standing there. "Why are you back here? I thought you said you would never come back, once you left?"

"It's not like I wanted to come back, believe me. I just want to ask a few questions, then I will leave, and not come back, unless you want me to." Harry answered.

'Well come in. But don't get comfortable, as I don't expect you'll be here long. And who are all these people with you." She looked to the oldest ones, thinking the red head looked familiar, as did the bushy haired one. The blond was new. But the children with him were a shock. The boy was about six. Had short brown hair, with Hazel eyes, and looked something like Jonathan, her cousin, that she met, before they moved to the states, before the first war started. The girl looked about five, also with light brown hair, but had bright blue eyes, and didn't look like anyone she knew.

They gathered in the living room, where Vernon was sitting. As soon as he saw Harry, he started turning red in the face. "What are you doing here boy. I thought you were never coming back here. I don't have any room for you, so you can just get that out of your head."

"Nice seeing you again Vernon." Harry sneered.

"Don't take that tone to me boy. This is my house, and I will not take any disrespect from the likes of you."

"Charming as ever I see. You don't have to worry, all I am here for is to ask Petunia a few questions, and then we will be gone."

"Then take it to the kitchen, and away from me, I'm trying to watch television."

Harry sighed, and took his group to the kitchen, followed by Petunia.

To Harry's surprise, she offered them something to drink. She got milk for the kids, and tea for the elder members of the group. She joined them at the table and asked Harry to go ahead with his questions.

"Petunia, I saw you looking at the kids, like you recognized James. They are why we are here. James, Lillian, this is Petunia Dursley. She was known as Petunia Evans, before she got married. Petunia, this is James and Lillian Evans."

Petunia did the same thing Harry did. She passed out. Luna was once again the one who had to revive someone that fainted because of James and Lillian.

Petunia was lucky enough to remain in her seat, when she fainted. Once she was revived, and was aware of her surroundings once again, Harry asked, "Petunia, are there any family members that I am not aware of?"

Petunia sat there for a minute, looking at James, which made him nervous. She finally caught her breath, "Lily and I had an uncle that moved to the States, before the way broke out. Andrew and Samantha. They a son names Jonathan. He was around twelve I think. I never really was close to them. Jonathan stayed away from us, because of what was going on. He was like Lily and you. Freaks. After he moved, I never found out what Happened to them, and didn't really care. I looked at James, because he looked just like Jonathan."

"So you don't know if they ever moved back to England?"

"No."

"Where did they live, before they moved to the States?"

"I think they lived in Cambridge, but, I'm not for sure. Like I said, I never had much to do with them."

"OK, last question. How is Dudley doing?"

"Why do you ask that, like you care?"

"Because I do care. Dudley showed like he had changed before you went into hiding. Like he wanted to say something to me, but, never got the chance."

"Dudders is doing just fine. He is with his family right now, but, I can call him if you like to see if he wishes to visit with you?"

Harry looked to Ginny and Hermione, knowing Luna didn't care. They nodded their heads, and Harry asked, "If you don't mind, then yes, I would like to see him?"

Petunia went to the phone, and called Dudley. She was only on for a minute, and hung up. "Dudders said he would be here in 5 minutes, and for you not to go anywhere until he got there."

Harry laughed, as that sounded like something Big D would say. As promised, Dudley was there within five minutes. He pulled Harry into a hug, which surprised every one at the table, except James and Lillian. Harry introduced him to every one, and when he got to James and Lillian, he introduced them as his cousins. Dudley was like Harry, being in the dark about their Uncle that moved to the States. He took each of the kids into a hug. Then he sat down, and joined the rest in a cup of tea, and got caught up on what they had been up to. He asked Harry about the war, and Harry said he would talk with him about some other time, tilting his head towards the kids. Dudley nodded.

They went on for another two hours, just going over old memories, with Dudley apologizing for every incident. They talked like they were friends for the first time. Dudley told him of his wife, and daughter, and Harry promised he would come by sometime, to meet them. Dudley made him promise, and then he said goodbye to every one, giving a hug to his mother, and his three cousins. Shook the hands of the three ladies, but, looked into Ginny's eyes, and smiled, "You're her aren't you?"

Ginny didn't know what he was talking about, and said this, but Dudley just said later, and left.

Soon, Harry and the girls plus James left, and Harry took them to a restaurant for dinner, going over the days events. James and Lillian, loving the fact that they were now a part of a family, although they made it known they did not like their Uncle Vernon very much. Which Harry only nodded in agreement.

Although he was against it, Ginny and Hermione talked him and the kids into staying the night in Black Manor. Harry was immediately attacked by Kreacher, Hugging his legs, "Master Harry is back, Kreacher is so happy to see his Master is looking so good. Can Kreacher be getting his Master Harry something?"

"It's good to see you too, Kreacher. No thanks I'm fine, but, would you please join us in the den, so we could talk?"

Kreacher cried. Being asked to join his Master for a talk, was a very kind act, that made him feel like he was a part of the family. Harry introduced his cousins, who were thrilled at Kreacher being their size, and his actions. Kreacher was just as excited at the new family members.

Finally Harry asked Kreacher to show the kids where they would be sleeping, and then to go ahead and take the rest of the evening off. Kreacher agreed and took the kids to their bedrooms. Luna also excused herself, as it had been a long day, and wanted to get back to Rolf, and tell him of what happened.

Finally alone, Harry looked to Ginny and Hermione. "Would you care to tell me about it?"

They looked at him like he was weird. Ginny asked. "What do you mean?"

"You two. How long has it been this way?"

Hermione just said, "Harry, what on earth are you talking about?"

"You and Ginny, Hermione. How long have you two been lovers?"

Ginny blushed, and Hermione just looked down at her shoes.

Ginny took a breath and went on, "Harry, it's not what you think. Yes, we did become close, but, it was only to release spent up emotions. You would not believe how much we went through after you left. We didn't go out. We didn't date. We only went to mom's once a month, and I would go to Luna's to say hello. There was no one else. Hermione was in one of her crying spells, and I went to comfort her. Before we knew it, things got out of hand, and we made love. I love Hermione, and she loves me, but, it's not that kind of love. It's the love of a sister. We have not done it often, but, we're not ashamed of it either."

"Ginny, Hermione, I'm not pointing fingers, or saying it disgusts me. I just knew you were doing it, when I saw you and Hermione back at my apartment. You were so close, and I thought it was sweet. Not for a moment was I jealous or resentful. I was pleased that you were there for each other. Many were the nights when I wished I had someone to share my feelings with. So are you a couple?"

"Harry, It's like Ginny said, we only do it to comfort each other. you can look at this way, we are both still virgins, as neither of us has slept with a man. Not that I don't want to, it's just that we have never found the right one."

"Speak for yourself Hermione, I thought I did. It's just that things didn't turn out right. Perhaps it just was never meant to be."

"Ginny, maybe if you go talk to him, he will see what he is missing, and ask you out?"

"I couldn't do that to Hermione, Harry. Like I said, I love her like a sister, and just wouldn't feel right, if I were to go out and have fun, with her here by her self. Hermione is not a lesbian, Harry, but, Ron hurt her in ways could not understand. She doesn't trust men."

"You two do know that I am here, don't you. I believe I can speak for myself. But. Ginny is mostly correct, in the fact that I don't trust all men. There is one that I trust though. You Harry, and I'm afraid that I turned that trust away. I will never be able to forgive my self for that."

Harry looked at his best friend and said, "Hermione, you have to get over it. I have, or at least, I would like to think I have. Yes, we have some work to do, to get back to where we were before that night, but, I believe we are a lot closer now, than we were yesterday. And, I would like to get to know you both, all over again. At least as friends."

"We would both like that as well Harry. Ginny and I have been lost, without you."

"Can you tell me something, You said Malfoy came to you after I left, and Got on to you all for what was said and done? I felt him trying to talk to me like he wanted to be friends. Has he married Pansy?"

Ginny answered. "No. Harry, he married Daphne's younger sister Astoria. They have been together for two years now, and have a son named Scorpius."

"Damn."

"What's the matter Harry, did you want to hook up with him or something?" Ginny sniggered.

"HaHa, Ginny, very funny. No, I just needed to talk to him about something, but, your answer covers it."

"Hermione took over, "What is it you wanted to ask him Harry?"

"It was just something I wanted him to do for me, But now that I know he's married, I can't."

Hermione was putting her mind to work, and then it dawned on her. "Harry, if I asked you a question, would you answer it truthfully?"

"Depends on what it is. I will if it's not embarrassing?"

"Well, I think it could be."

"I guess we'll know, once you ask."

"Harry, you know both Ginny and I work for the Unspeakables, right?" Harry just nodded. "We have been following the history of someone in Cambridge, and it just dawned on me. Are you the Angel of Cambridge?"

Harry wondered when he would be asked that, and he figured the brightest witch of his class would figure it out. "Yes, Hermione, the one and only."
