Hey guys!

I wasn't planning on getting this one out, but as it is finished, yet short, I figured I would get it out today.

Harry looked at her in shock. "My, my sister?" His voice squeaked.

"Technically I am your half sister, but we will get into that later." she said with a smile.

Harry frowned, not liking the sound of that.

The pureblood adults in the room shared a look, something big went out in the house of Potter.

Harry frowned, Hermione looked at Luna questioningly and received a nod in answer.

It was a little while later before they started to descend from the sky.

"Look Harry." Hermione pointed to what looked like a castle underneath them.

"What's that?" Harry asked, eyes wide in shock.

"Potter Manner." Hermione said matter of factly, It is awfully nice isn't it?"

Harry just nodded his head, not knowing what to say.

"Wow." Dan whistled. "Thats one nice house."

Draco sneered, Potters house was bigger than his!

They landed softly on a slightly out of control lawn. Once they were off Hermione ran a gentle hand down the creatures face.

"Thank you Hades." She whispered before letting it go.

Sirius snorted. "What a lovely name for a skeletal creature."

Hermione just stuck her tongue out at him, that would be what she would name it as well.

Harry watched it walk towards the woods, surprised to see many more skeletal horses appear.

"They live there, and help the Potters with anything they may need, in exchange for food." Hermione said softly.

Harry nodded softly while turning back to the building.

"Do older families do that?" Harry asked. He had liked the creatures ever since he started seeing them.

"Have you been here already?" Harry asked, just a little jealousy in his voice.

Hermione nodded, eyes bright with tears. "I needed to make sure that what I was hearing was right. I don't even know how I was able to find the place. I took a bus to this part of town and then just searched. I was about to give up when this place popped into view."

"Did you see Dad?" Harry whispered.

Hermione nodded with a wince. "I did. There is something you need to know Harry. The reason James didn't look for us. Couldn't look for us."

Harry leaned forward in his chair, eager to hear.

Harry shook his head. "I don't care. As long as he wants us now, wanted us then, I don't care."

Hermione smiled lightly. "I wish I had that attitude. But Harry. He was not able to come find us. For one he did not know where we were, and two." Hermione paused to take a deep breath. "He was injured that night."

Harry interrupted her. "I thought you said he wasn't there."

"He wasn't, when Voldyshorts showed up. But he was there right after." Hermione sighed. "He felt the wards break and came right back to us. He met some people there though."

"MY NAME IS VOLDEMORT!" Voldemort screamed out, fury on his face.

"Who?" harry demanded at Hermiones pause.

"Dumbledore and Snape." Hermione said in a whisper. "They were there and Snape cursed James, he taunted him, told him that no matter how hard James looked he would never be able to find the two of us. The curse not only prevented his magic from finding us, James could not actively search us in anyway. I have never heard of a spell like this, I don't know if maybe it was one of the professor's own invention" Hermione muttered getting sidetracked.

"Of course blame me." Severus muttered.

Dumbledore looked a little shocked and hurt at being a bad guy,

"Anything else with the curse?" Harry urged.

"Yes, he is imprisoned in his own home, and his face is scarred." She finished at the prompting of Harry.

Harry took a moment to take all of this in. "So Snape cursed my father, causing him to lose his children for many years, and giving him a huge scar. Dumbledore was there and allowed it. Dad didn't die."

"As always you say in two sentences what it takes me a paragraph to say." Hermione sighed with a smile.

Hermione nodded.

Harry shrugged before a smile made its way onto his face. "Can we go see him?"

Hermione smiled back. "Yes, once we started looking for him, the effects of the curse started to diminish. He will always have a scar, but he was able to call out to our magic, making it possible for us to find him."

Severus, Minerva, Narcissa, Luna and Hermione all looked thoughtful at this information. They wondered what kind of curse this was.

Harry frowned. "But I wasn't looking for him, I thought he was dead."

Hermione giggled. "Remember last year before the ministry attack?"

Harry nodded not happy with the memories of the attack. "You said something to me." Hermione nodded eagerly. "You said, 'If James was alive Sirius would never be at the ministry."

Hermione nodded while Harry thought, "I didn't see Sirius at the ministry." His eyes widened

"Nice logic game Hermione!" Sirius laughted.

Hermione smiled. "Sirius was able to leave Dumbledores clutches a few weeks before. Kretcher was right, he was not at the black house."

"So wait he has known all this time?" Anger started to lace Harry's voice.

Hermione shook her head sadly. "No, he only just found out after christmas. I guess he wanted to see if the Manner was still standing, and when he found James he moved in."

Harry nodded, looking back at the castle. "Can we go see him now?"

Hermione smiled. "Lets go!"

*Inside the House*

James and Sirius stood at the window watching the teens converse.

"Do you think he will be okay. Take it okay I mean." James said in worry.

Sirius put a hand on his shoulder. "I think he will. He is your and Lily's son. Besides Hermione took it well."

James smiled. "Yes but Hermione is your daughter."

Hermione's eyes were wide as her mouth dropped open. Sirius looked equally as shocked at this development. Remus snorted at his friend.

Sirius huffed. "Yes well She is still part Lily, as is Harry."

"Yes but you were always more willing to believe in a triad, I was not." James scowled.

Sirius shook his shaggy black head of hair, looking very much like a dog while he did so. "Lily loved both of us the same Prongs." he whispered.

James sighed. "I know that here." He said pointing to his head. "But here, I wanted her to love me, and only me. I never thought I would have to share my love."

The purebloods in the room winced. Not embracing the bond with your full self could be dangerous, to not only you, but your parents and your children. If the bond was embraced by two partners and not all three, then the power and magic the two gave into the bond would only affect the child of the two. The third members child would have no boost, and sometimes had some very bad magical effects. Bad luck was one of the most known affect, infertility and insanity were also known effects as was misplaced emotions.

Sirius looked taken aback. "That's why the ritual didn't work." his voice was harsh.

James looked down in defeat. "Yes."

Sirius stared at him a moment longer, anger and disgust warred within his facial features.

"You should have said something before." Sirius hissed.

James looked at Sirius, eyes hard. "Lily wanted the three of us together. That's why I said I would do it. She wanted to be bound in that way to make her kids stronger, smarter, better protected."

The pure bloods winced again. If the triad had been embraced, Voldemort would never have lived.

"She wanted to do it because she loved us!" Sirius voice was deadly low. "She told us it never mattered if she had any kids. She loved us and wanted our bond to be stronger." He paused, his voice thick with emotion. "She blamed herself! Because you didn't want it to work it didn't, and she blamed herself!"

James looked back at him in horror. "No." he whispered. "She shouldn't have done that."

"Well she did!" Sirius looked at James one last time before abruptly turning and walking out the door.

James watched his brother as Sirius greeted the kids. Harry looked so much like James, while Hermione had that distinctive black head of hair. James sighed, if he had been unselfish would the family still be around, together. James shook his head. it was no use thinking about that again, it was time to meet Lily's children.

No one said anything, no one asked any question, the situation was just too strange to question before thinking about.

*Back at the Kids*

"Sirius!" Harry yelled jumping into his godfathers arms. Hermione just looked at him and blushed. Sirius was her father and she was still getting used to it all.

Harry and Sirius smiled, that's how they always greeted each other, and it always made them smile.

"Hey kids!" Sirius said hugging Harry and giving Hermione a wink. "Are you ready to see Potter Manner?"

Harry snorted. "Its more like Potter castle!"

Sirius laughed loudly while Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Can I see Dad?" Harry asked eyes wide with excitement.

Sirius smiled. "Of course, there are a few things that we need to go over once the hellos are said."

Harry nodded eagerly heading up the front of the group on the way to the double doors.

"What have you told him?" Sirius whispered in a voice only loud enough for Hermione to hear.

"Only the curse." She answered back watching Harry's excitement with loving eyes.

Sirius nodded. "This will be a shock for him." Hermione silently agreed.

"Wow." Harry whispered.

"What's a triad?" Hermione questioned Luna.

"Just what they said it was." Luna answered with a smile.

~~~~~ End chapter ~~~~~

Just a little more information in this chapter. I do not plan to have any James bashing. What was in this chapter was just showing him as a human who loved his wife and wanted her only to himself. A little selfish, but that should be the only big issue that people have with him.

Draco and Harry will not get together, Harry just has a crush on him, and I hope this chapter explains a little of why.

Let me know what you think please!
