Harry woke up first as usually. He didn't want to open his eyes to know one of his siblings were in his arms. And he knew it was Alyssa since she likes to cuddling against Harry or Ashton when she sleeps. Even though his eyes were shut, he could see the light shining, meaning it was morning. He didn't want to get up. He wanted to go back to the dream he had last night -- the dream of a giant and two people telling him that his siblings and he were going to a magic school.

Harry was knocked out of his thoughts when he heard a tipping sound, believing it was his aunt telling them to get up. He gripped his arm around Alyssa, shutting his eyes tighter. He didn't want to get up, but the tapping kept on going. He feared what his aunt and uncle would do if they don't get up.

"All right," mumbled Harry, "I'm getting up."

The movement Harry did woke both Alyssa and Ashton (who was sleeping against Alyssa's back) up. All three of them sat up, noticing a heavy coat was wrapped around them. It fell off them when they sat up. Hagrid was face asleep on the collapsed sofa, and there was an owl tapping its claw on the window, a newspaper held in its beak. The Potter triplets jumped to their feet, feeling happy that it wasn't a dream. Harry opened the window, letting the owl in. Ashton and Alyssa noticed Professors Snape and Black were sitting at the table. They were quieting talking when the owl fell in and straight up to Snape and Pandora.

The Potter triplets stood there in awe while Pandora took the newspaper and paid the owl. They watched as the owl left, having Pandora turned towards the children.

"That's how wizards get their mail and the newspaper. It took your mum awhile to get use to that. Now, that you three are up, we need to get to Diagon Alley to get your items for Hogwarts. We cannot be waste anytime. Hagrid, wake up. We need to leave now."

"How are we supposed to get?" Alyssa asked.

"You will see," replied Snape, looking down into Alyssa's hazel eyes.

Alyssa watched as the man turned his head away from her with a lot of anger in his eyes. This made her confused since she felt like the anger was towards her, but she don't know why. Her eyes drifted towards Pandora, who was staring down her. Alyssa watched as Pandora's eyes clouded with pain when her blue eyes met her hazel eyes. The young girl felt like it has something to do with her hazel eyes. She glanced down, covering her eyes with her bangs. Her aunt told her that her hazel eyes were so ugly. And she believed her aunt.

After Hagrid got up, the three adults took the Potter triplets to Diagon Alley. The first stop was Gringotts.

"Lady Black," the goblin greeted Pandora.

Harry, Ashton, Alyssa glanced up at Pandora with a confused look on their face. She hold her finger up towards the children, turning to the goblin, "I'm not here for myself today. I'm here with Harry, Skyler, and Alyssa Potter."

Hagrid pulled out the Potters' key before they were led to the safe. Pandora glanced down at the list, getting enough for each child. She turned towards them, who was staring at the money with awe before their eyes drifted up to her. She chuckled at the youngsters before she led them out with Hagrid and Snape. However, they stopped in front of the band when Pandora turned towards Hagrid and Snape.

"I think it would be faster if each other of us take one of them. I will Ja--Harry. Hagrid, can you take Skyler? Severus, can you take Alyssa?"

Hagrid was hesitant about doing that since Dumbledore wanted the triplets to stay together. However, Pandora didn't let Hagrid or Snape to answer. She took Harry by the hand and speed walked away. Snape looked down at the young girl, saying seriously, "We're going to get your books before we get your robes and then your wand. We're wasting times by standing here."

Snape started to walk away from Hagrid and Ashton, having Alyssa following him quickly. Hagrid decided to go to get Ashton's wand before anything.

With Harry and Pandora, Harry felt a little embarrassed holding this stranger's hands. However, he was also liking it since he never held his aunt's hand before. It seems like Pandora Black was protective over Harry and his siblings. But there was one thing that was bothering Harry was that Pandora was calling him James.

"Pandora, why are you calling me James?"

"James Potter was your father, Harry. I'm sorry. I don't mind to call you by your father's name. You look just like him with your mother's eyes. Don't let anyone tell you different, Harry. You're parents were amazing. Admitting, Jimmy-Boy was popular in Hogwarts and loved to pull pranks, which got him in trouble a lot. He grow up towards the of of his years at Hogwarts. I miss him so much," Pandora smiled sadly with a teardrop escape her eye.

Harry looked up at her, "How did you know my parents, Pandora?"

Pandora stopped, looking ahead of her. She didn't want to answer him, but Pandora knew Harry and his siblings were going to find this out. She bent down to his height with tears in her eyes, holding his hands.

"I lost my older brother and sister-in-law ten years ago. I raced to their home to take my nephews and niece so I could raise them. But I was told that they didn't make it. I lost my husband and family, or I thought. Recently, I learned my nephews and niece were alive and they lived with their muggle aunt. I was hurt because someone lied to me about the death of my nephews and niece, Harry. If I knew they were alive, I would have taken them away straight away since I am also their aunt. Harry, please understand. I would have never ever left my nephews and niece alone with their muggle aunt. I'm going to take them away from their muggle family they could live with my son, friend, and me."

Harry stood there. At first, he didn't realize why Pandora was telling him this until he clicked in his mind.

"Are you saying you're my aunt, my dad's sister?"

Pandora nodded her head slowly, "I thought you three were dead, just like James and Lily. That's what I was told. My friend, another friend of your father's, moved in with me to help me with my son, who's in his second year of Hogwarts. I wanted to take you three in, but I thought I was too late. How would you like to move in with me during the summer? I don't care what others would say. You are my nephew."

Harry thought this was a dream, however, he knew it wasn't. This was another thing Alyssa, Ashton, and Harry wanted - someone to take them away. Harry could tell Pandora was telling the truth. He wasn't going to deny this since he, along with his brother and sister, could get away from the Dursleys. A smile formed on Harry's face, nodding his head quickly. The nephew and aunt hugged each other before Pandora walked him into a place called Madam Malkin's Shop.

With Alyssa and Snape, they were in the bookshop. Snape gave her first-year booklist before minding his own business. Alyssa was searching for the books when she ran into a boy that was looking for the same books. They fell to the ground, getting both of them very nervous. They got up quickly, having the boy apologize, "I'm sorry!"

Alyssa chuckled nervously, "It's fine. I'm okay. Are you okay?"

The round-face boy nodded, "I'm okay. Oh! I'm Neville Longbottom. Are you going to Hogwarts?"

"Yeah. This is my first year. I'm Alyssa Potter."

Neville Longbottom's eyes widen, "Are you related to Harry Potter?"

Alyssa's face went red when she bit her lip, slowly nodding her head. Alyssa felt like that wasn't going to be the first time someone was going to ask that. She ducked her head, turning away from Neville Longbottom, but she stopped when she heard, "Wait!"

Her head snapped up, noticing Neville's face bright red.

"Sorry," mumbled Neville, "I didn't mean to make you upset, Alyssa. Um . . . uh . . . what house do you think you go into at Hogwarts?"

Alyssa narrowed her eyes in confusion, "What?!"

"You don't know?" Neville said, but it sounded more like a question.

She felt embarrassed by not knowing what Neville was talking about. She opened her mouth to tell him why, but Alyssa was cut off by a female's voice, "Neville!" Neville looked over his shoulder before smiling nervously at Alyssa, "I will see you at Hogwarts."

Alyssa stood there, watching as the boy speed walk away from her. She bit her lip, not knowing what to think since or say anything. She knew she was going to Hogwarts, but she didn't know what Neville was talking about. Maybe Snape could answer the questions she wanted to ask Neville. She grabbed the first-year books before heading back to Snape, who paid (using Alyssa's money of course) for the books.

"Professor?"

"Yes, Miss. Potter."

"What are the houses in Hogwarts? A boy was asking me what house I was going to be in. But I don't know what he was talking about, sir."

"Gryffindor,Hufflepuff,Ravenclaw, andSlytherinare the four housesat Hogwarts. You don't know what house you will get in until you get there. Most likely, your brothers and you will be Gryffindor since all Potters has been in Gryffindor. However, it's based on yourability and personality. You will learn more about the houses and the founders in your first year of Hogwarts," Snape replied, not looking down at her, "Now, we will get your robes."

Alyssa duck her head low, thinking Snape was angry with her. She decided she was going to stay silent until she gets back to her brothers.

With Ashton and Hagrid, Ashton walked away from Hagrid, who wasn't paying attention to him after they got his wand. He was walking alone when he ran into a boy who has blonde-white, who didn't look happy. Ashton took a step back, looking at the boy.

"Oh, you must be a Weasley," snarled the boy.

"I have no idea who the Weasleys are," Ashton replied, "I'm Ashton Potter."

The boy's eyes widened, "Are you related to Harry Potter?"

Just like how Alyssa felt, Ashton was feeling that people would only want to be his friend because Harry James Potter was famous in the wizard world. But no Ashton or Alyssa. That made Ashton narrowed his eyes in anger, "Yeah. He's my brother. We have a sister named Alyssa. But does it truly matter if I'm related to him?"

"I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy," the boy held out his hand (which Ashton shook), "I think I should show you Potters the right way. You are lucky to found me first."

Ashton and Draco started to walk when Ashton asked, "Who are The Weasleys?"

"They are blood traitors," all Draco said before talking about something called Quidditch. Ashton allowed Draco to talk about Quidditch like it was the greatest thing in the world. Ashton didn't know what Quidditch was, but it sounds like fun. Maybe Ashton will actually have a friend and maybe he can be his own person in Hogwarts.

"Skyler Ashton!"

Both Draco and Ashton glanced up to see Pandora walking their way with Harry holding her hand.

"How do you know my cousin?"

"Pandora is your cousin?"

Before Draco answer his question, Pandora pulled the redhead away from the other boy. She didn't let Ashton say bye to Draco before storming off with Harry and Ashton. She wasn't happy, and both boys knew this. But they don't know why she was so angry with Ashton hanging out with Draco.

"Pandora?"

Her blue eyes drifted down, "Do not - I repeat myself, do not - hang out with Draco. His father used to work for You-Know-Who, the man that killed your parents. I don't even let my own son be around them even though they're family."

"That's what Draco said."

"I was married to his mum's cousin, who passed away at the age of eighteen. We were seventeen when we got married and I was pregnant when my husband passed away. His family called me their cousin since I was married to someone in the Black family. Draco and my son are third-cousins since Draco was my late-husband's second-cousin. So, the eyes of the Black and Malfoy Family, I am their family."

(A/N - if you know more about the Black family. Was Euphemia Potter (who is James' mum) related to the Black Family? I cannot find much about her.)

The boys were still confused, but didn't question Pandora. Instead Harry turned towards his brother and was going to tell him who Pandora was to them, but he was cut off by Snape walking up to them with Alyssa. She sprinted to her brothers when Snape said seriously, "We need to take them back."

Harry's eyes widened, looking straight up to Pandora, who winked down at the child before turning to Snape, "You can leave. I will returned them home."

Snape, believing Pandora, nodded his head before he left them standing there. Pandora smiled down at Harry, Ashton, and Alyssa, who didn't look happy.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to make you three relate to your muggle family. You will be coming with me. You three will be living with my son, friend, and me."

Ashton's and Alyssa's eyes widened in shock and happiness. They were not going to return to the Dursleys home anymore and it seems like Pandora wasn't going to force them to go back there. They were happy about that and hopefully, this will be a new start for the Potter Triplets. However, Ashton felt this was weird, having him ask Pandora, "Why? Why are you helping us?"

"She's our dad's sister!" smiled Harry, "We have another aunt! She will take us away from our mum's sister! This was always our dream, Ash! Can't you believe it?!"

Before Pandora knew it, all three children around hugging her waist. She chuckled, hugging them back for a few seconds. All of them needed this and they knew this. However, Pandora knew they have to get to her home since her son and friend were there. She was going to gain custody of her nephews and nieces to make sure they are not taken from her. She's a Black and a Potter in one. She has the money to either get a good lawyer or pay someone off. The Potter triplets were never going to leave her home again.
