Thanks for the reviews! I really appreciate them! Without further ado, let's get on with the story...Oh yeah, I own nothing, it all belongs to J.K. Rowling!
The first years sat, stunned. A couple of them looked from Hugo, to Fred, then back again. They had the same red hair, the same blue eyes, even though Hugo was Ron's son, not George's.
Lily stood up uncertainly.
"Uncle Fred?" He nodded and beamed happily.
"The one and only!" Lily laughed. The other two ghosts looked a little uncomfortable. "Oh, this is Lavender," Fred gestured to the girl "And this is Colin." The boy gave a nod.
"Okay, I'm Lily, your niece, this is Roxanne, also your niece and this is Hugo, your nephew." Lily pointed each of them out. "Those three boys there are Timothy, Logan and Aaron." They all grinned. "The other one is Jet." He looked up from his mismatched socks.
"The girls are Olivia, Zoe and Abi." Lily pointed to each of them in turn.
"Well, now we all know each other, can we get down to business?" Lavender sighed, twirling her hair.
Roxanne caught Lily's eye. "Diva." She mouthed. Lily suppressed giggles.
"Okay." Fred had seen what Roxy said and was trying exceptionally hard not to laugh. "We are here, believe it or not, because of a cat. I don't know how it has lived this long, but it has."
The first years looked at him as though he had just spoken Japanese. He sighed. "You've all heard of Voldemort, yes?" They nodded. "Well, he was apparently killed by my brother-in-law, Harry Potter. Except, he didn't die."
Lily gasped in horror as Colin took up the story.
"When Voldemort tried to kill Harry as a baby, the spell rebounded. But as Voldemort died, a piece of his soul latched onto the only living thing in the house. That was Harry."
Lavender continued. "What no-one realised, was that another piece of his soul was blasted apart. It latched onto the other living thing in the house. The Potter's Cat."
The room went deadly silent, each person pondering on this news.
"So, you mean that Voldemort might rise again?" Lily's voice quivered as she voiced the question.
"Theoretically, yes." Fred seemed disturbed by the news. "We need you to warn the people that you think will help. That means all of the Weasley-Potter clan." He turned to Lily. "You can do that? It might be a good idea to get Luna's sons in on it as well..." He trailed off thoughtfully.
Lily went white. "You mean Lorcan and Lysander? Lorcan I trust. Lysander is in the hospital wing and will stay there for as long as I want him there."
Fred raised his eyebrows. "What did you do?"
"Well, I-"
"We haven't got time for this!" Hugo cut in impatiently. "We need to round up the people we trust." He grimaced slightly, then looked up at his Uncle. "It looks like the DA is back in service."
