Winnie sat on the couch, her eyes watching the clock, then the door, barely focusing on the TV in front of her. Her nerves were driving her up the wall, for some reason no one seemed particularity interest or excited about Harry's visit. Dad had walked himself to his bedroom Mom was spending all her energy with Toby washing the baby, feeding, giving it a bottle, changing to diapers.

And now again Winnie felt the same cold- shoulder feeling she had last night, but, this felt worse. Did know one care about the fact Winnie was a witch? The fact a mysterious missing relative is coming today! Who is a wizard, and the fact today was the day they learned about Winnie's future at Hogwarts!

But today felt like a regular they, like nothing strange or important was going to walk through that door! Mom and Dad got more excited about Grandma, and Granddad visiting than Harry. Who was a wizard!

Winnie sighed softly, as Mom walked past the living room to the dining room she had her hair pinned back, still in pajamas, Toby in her arms, resting against her chest. Winnie watched them until Mom reached the baby carrier, Winnie turned to the clock, but for some reason her eyes turned to the fireplace.

Unlike most houses Dad had insisted on an open fire- place to mom's dislike and for that she made Dad get the firewood during the winter.

And now, her eyes just seemed to fall on it, standing up she continued to look at the fireplace. Pulling her arm across her chest stretching, she continued to watch it but, a gong stopped her from her gaze turning to the clock, its hands showing 12:00

The house went oddly silent, Winnie listened she couldn't even hear Toby movement against the fabric in his carrier. And it seemed to last seconds, before things turned normal, like the house had held its breath waiting for something.

Shaking it off, she walked into the dining room, seeing Little Toby in his carrier, taking a step forward, she saw a lot of Dad in him, blue eyes and probably have blonde hair or maybe her own shade of auburn? The two siblings seemed to stare at each other for what seemed to be a long time, then something hit Winnie she realized this was the first time she ever seen her brother. She had watched Mom carry him around, only seeing the bundle of blankets but, this was the first time she ever saw Toby, looking right at his face.

"Hey Toby." Began Winnie, in an almost audible whisper, "I'm your sister, Winnie, and I'm a wi-."

But Winnie couldn't continue, a noise came from the living room "Ah!" a deep voice cried, Winnie walked to the door pressing against the wall to listen, only hearing the intruders soft voice muttering a chain of curse words.

"Dudley?" the same voice called "It's Harry." Hearing the words excitement filled her chest, she ran to the living room, seeing the startled expression of a man he had untidy black hair and green eyes. So this is what Harry looks like. She frowned she expected him to be much like Dad if she hadn't have known she thought she wouldn't be related to Dad at all.

"Hello, are you Winnie?" Harry asked, glancing at her before turning around looking at the house, seeing his back, Winnie held back a giggle a stick was sticking out of Harry's back pocket.

"Yes, and did you know you have a stick, sticking out of your back pocket." Winnie said, she snapped her mouth shut tight, if Mom were here she would scold her, but, Harry only laughed taking out the stick.

"It's a wand." Answered Harry "All wizards and witches have one."

"Oh" said Winnie the only thing coming to her she looked at the door and the arch to the dining room. It was just her and Harry. Then something hit Winnie.

"How did you get here?" Winnie asked bluntly.

"Fireplace." Answered Harry as if saying he drove here, Winnie turned looking at the fireplace.

"We use Floo Powder you set into the flames, say were you want to go and drop the powder, and it'll take you where you wish to go." Explained Harry further

"Ah, transporting fireplaces" Winnie mumbled her eyes on the fireplace, she tried imagining going into fire.

"Harry?" a new voice asked, both turning Winnie spoke:

"Dad, Harry's here!"
