A/N: Do you guys like it? Think it sucks? Have suggestions? REVIEW! And thank you, PurpleNinja97 for reviewing. Also, I forgot to write Ara's history in the first chapter, I managed to put it here. Enjoy! :D
Disclaimer: Hi! I'm Alex and I don't own Harry Potter.
Ara King, now Black was looking around the Headmaster's office. It looked like the one in the movie. A lot like it, actually. Ara looked at the whirling gizmos and gadgets on the table. She took one and examined it. It looked like a normal muggle top. She wondered why Dumbledore would have something like this.
"Miss Black, please sit down." Said a voice. She looked around, thinking it was Dumbledore but didn't see him. "Up here!" She looked up and saw a cever looking wizard with black hair, dark eyes and a pointed beard.
"Oh look! It's Grandpa Phin!" said Ara.
"Don't call me that!" he scolded and Ara rolled her eyes. "Sit down before Dumbledore come- oh! Too late."
The door opened and Albus Dumbledore walked in. He seemed sweaty, as if he had been walking around the whole castle.
"Pleas sit down, Ara." He said, wipping the sweat of his forehead with his robes.
Ara did as she was told and sat. Dumbledore sat on his chair and took out a small yellow sphere.
"Lemon drop?" he asked.
"Sure!" she said and got one.
"Now, since you know what happens in the future," Dumbledore started. "I want you to protect Harry. Guide him. I want you to be there when you start finding the horcruxes and protect all those who die."
"Yes, sir. So… do I get to go to Hogwarts?" she asked, casually.
Dumbledore chuckled. "Well of course! We just didn't send you a letter because we wanted to keep you safe."
Ara's heart exploded with happiness. She felt like she could dance and she did. Dumbledore had to give her a calming potion just to keep her still.
"I'm sorry about that. So, why don't we get you sorted and let's go to the Order meeting." Dumbledore stood up and took out a worn out old hat from one of the shelves and placed it on Ara's head.
'Ah! A Black! Haven't seen one of you in a long time.' The hat said in her head.
'I want to be in Gryffindor.'
'Ah ha! Rebellious, just like your father, I think that Gryffindor would suit you well. You are brave, noble, clever and a liking for mischief. GRYFFINDOR!"
The hat was pulled of her head and Dumbledore smiled at her.
"Oh no." said Phineas. "Another Gryffindor Black. I'll make sure the next one gets into Slytherin."
"Sorry, Grandpa Phil. No child of mine will be Slytherin." Ara said.
Phineas scoffed and walked out of his portrait.
"You will be joining the fifth years when the term starts, but I say, you will not be excused from the O.W.L.s"
"It's okay, Dumbles. I've got this in the bag." She said.
"It's nice to hear your optimism." He said and they walked to the fireplace.
She took a handful of the Floo Powder in the pot and threw some into the fire. When it turned green, she stepped it, feeling the warm flames at her feet.
"Just say, 'Grimmauld Place.'" Dumbledore said. She nodded.
"Grimmauld Place!" she said loud and clear then let go of the powder.
Using the Floo Network wasn't too bad. It was just like riding a ride in the amusement park on a warm summer afternoon. The only difference was that everything was green and you could see fireplaces in random places. She was starting to slow down. She placed her hand in front of her like what Harry did when he used when he used the Floo. Her hands hit the floor and she stood up, brushing the slate of her clothes. She looked up and saw half the Order looking at her, most of them had their wands out.
"Crap. Should've made Dumbles go first." She said.
The Weasleys, Remus, Mad-Eye, Kingsley, Remus, Harry, Hermione and her father were staring at her.
"You're the girl I saw in that muggle coffee shop!" Harry said.
"Yeah. Hey Harry!" she said and waved at him.
"Harry Don't! She might be a Death Eater." Sirius said, putting himself in front of Harry, his wand still pointing at her.
'Yeah. All dads point a weapon at their kids who they haven't seen in fourteen years.' She thought.
"Who are you?" asked Mad-Eye.
"My name is Ara something Black." Everyone's jaws dropped when she said this. Sirius started to sob into Remus' shoulder. " I'm fifteen years old and I was just recently sorted into Gryffindor. I suggest you wait for Dumbles to come before you kill me."
Sirius pushed through the Weasleys and hugged Ara.
"I thought you were gone." He sobbed. "After Azkaban, I thought I had no way to get you back."
"Sirius! Get away from her! She might be a Death Eater!" Mad-Eye said.
Sirius gave him a death glare which made the great Mad-Eye cower, then returned to sob. Ara was having second thoughts. Maybe her father didn't want her. He was crying for goodness sake.
"Uhm…dad. Are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm just happy!" he said, wiping the tears of his face.
"I thought I'd never see the day Sirius Black would cry." Remus said.
"Shut it, Moony." Sirius said, glaring at his friend. "Oh! Ara, meet your godfather, Remus Lupin."
"Hello there, Ara." Remus said, taking a hand out.
Ara beamed. Her dad was Sirius freaking Black and her godfather was Remus freaking Lupin. Ara worked hard to restrain herself from dancing around the kitchen.
"Hey there, Uncle Moony!" Ara said, giving the hand a violent shake.
"Kids! You know what to do!" Mrs. Weasley said, trying to change the subject.
All the kids groaned and walked up. Ara was about to walk up too but Dumbledore held her back.
"We will need you in this meeting, Ara." He said.
"So, I get to be in the Order?" she asked.
"Yes." Dumbledore said. "First, let us introduce you to the people here."
Ara was reintroduced to sweet and plump Mrs. Weasley, tall and dark Kingsley, serious and battle-scared Mad-Eye Moody, tired-looking yet happy Remus Lupin and ecstatic and jumpy Sirius Black. Someone was missing.
"Where's Tonks?" she asked.
The adults were shocked. "How do you know her?" asked Kingsley.
"This is why I asked her to be part of the Order, because she has very detailed information about Voldemort and the years to come." Dumbledore said, sitting down, which signaled for the others to sit down.
"So, she's a Seer?" asked Mr. Weasley.
"No. She's from the future and in the future, books were written about Harry so the Ministry could rebuild the Wizarding World with the earnings."
Ara listened as the adults talked to about her. She started day dreaming about Hogwarts and going against Umbitch with the D.A.
"Ara? Ara, wake up." Sirius said, shaking her shoulder.
"Oh! Sorry." She said. "Lost in my thoughts."
"What happens?" asked Mad-Eye.
Ara told them about Harry getting attacked by dementors, almost getting expelled from Hogwarts, Fudge doing everything in his power to convince people that Voldy didn't come back, the D.A. and Mr. Weasley being attacked by Nagini, Umbitch and the Inquisitorial Squad, and Dumbledore leaving because the D.A. was found.
"And ten Death Eaters escape Azkaban." She finished, leaving out the twins' departure and the Department of Mysteries. She had her own plan for the last one.
"Are you sure she's telling the truth?" Mad-Eye asked.
"Yes. I am." Ara said. "I could tell you all a very detailed story of Harry's years at Hogwarts and a certain incident in my dad's and Remus' 5th year. The one with Snivelly's trousers."
Remus smiled and Sirius laughed at the memory.
"Okay. Okay." Mad-Eye said.
A few minutes of talking and Mrs. Weasley told Ara to get the rest of the kids. She nodded and went up to the second floor, passing by the portrait of her grandmother and the elf heads with white beards and red hats on them. She opened the nearest door and found Ginny, Ron, Harry and Hermione inside.
'Don't hyperventilate, Ara. They're just people, people who you've watched grown up through a book and looked up to as heroes. Just keep calm.'
"Time for dinner." She said.
"You know, we never introduced ourselves." Said tall, lanky and red headed Fred. "I'm Gred."
"Forge." Said Fred's identical twin, George.
"Yeah. Nice one. I'm not your mum and we're not in 1991." She said.
Fred and George's jaws dropped. "How'd you know-"
"-that we said that-"
"-in 1991?"
"I'm a Seer." She said shrugging. "And I know that you are Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny." Pointing at the person when she said the name.
"Wicked!" Ron said. "Tell us something else!"
Ara smirked. She was enjoying this, even if it was kind of mean. "Well, Harry has a crush on Cho Chang and they kissed in the Room of Requirement after the last D.A. meeting."
Everyone looked at her, impressed.
"How about me!" Ron said.
"You became Keeper and you think you don't deserve the position, but trust me, you will win a game. Block about twelve goals."
Ron smiled, hoping it would be real.
"I don't know about you people, but I'm going to eat." Said Fred.
"Yeah. I'm famished." Said George and with a pop, disapparated.
"Those gits." Ginny said. "Get to disapparate. It's not fair!"
While walking to the kitchen, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Ara talked about Quidditch and the D.A.
"So, I could join?" asked Ara.
"Yeah! If you're good enough to be in the Order, then we'll need you in the D.A.!" said Ron.
"Yeah.." she said, trailing off.
She made a mental not that when she got her wand, she needed to practice spells and jinxes. They reached the kitchen and they were greeted by the delicious smell of roast chicken.
"Damn. That smells good." Ara said and sat beside her father and Remus.
She sliced the chicken and put some in her plate. She added some mashed potatoes and gravy then dug in.
"Eats like you too, Padfoot." Remus said.
Sirius looked at his best friend with a mouth full of mashed potatoes and chicken. "What?" he asked.
Remus just chuckled. During dinner, Ara got to be friends with Harry, Ron and Hermione and put a nosebleed nougat in Sirius' soup with Fred and George.
"Normal children don't greet their fathers with a prank!" said Sirius, trying to clog the blood.
"Well, my dear father, I am not normal." Ara said.
"Like abnormal?" Harry asked innocently.
Everyone but Ara laughed. "I'll get back at you, Potter."
Dinner finished with everyone having full stomachs and smiles on their faces.
"Ara dear. You'll sleep with the girls. Just borrow some clothes first." Mrs. Weasley said.
"Thanks for the dinner, Mrs. Weasley." Ara said, rubbing her tummy.
"No problem dear!" Mrs. Weasley said.
Ara followed Ginny and Hermione up to their room. It was just like the room Ara went to when she called Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and the twins. There were two beds in the room.
"You can take my bed, Ara." Hermione said.
"Or mine." Said Ginny.
"No. It's okay. I'll just steal my dad's mattress and make a fort." Ara said.
Ginny gave her a confused look and Hermione looked excited.
"How could you make a fort in this tiny room?" Ginny asked.
"Gin, the fort Ara's talking about is a smaller one made of blankets and pillows. It's really fun!" Hermione said.
Ginny seemed excited by the idea. "Okay! Let's do it!"
"Cool! First, can I borrow some clothes?" Ara asked.
"Sure." Ginny said and threw her a tank top and some pajama pants.
"Who's going to take a shower first?" Hermione asked.
"You." Ginny said.
"Why is it always me?" Hermione said crossly, grabbing her clothes and towel and walking out the door.
"What was that all about?" Ara asked.
"Well, Hermione takes the shortest time to take a bathe and I take the longest." Ginny said.
"Well, Ginny. I think I'll have to go after you because I could take up to an hour to bathe." Ara said.
Ginny raised her eyebrow. "An hour? What do you do in there? Swim?"
"Yeah, if the bathtub's big enough. But usually I sit in the warm water and let my worries wash away." Ara said and told her what happened in the orphanage, all forty parents who adopted her, returning her the next day, being bullied in school, being abused in the orphanage. "The bathroom's really the only place I could escape from all those."
Ginny gave Ara a big hug. "It's okay, Ara. Here, you're loved and you have friends. I doubt anyone's going to bully you here. I bet you'll be doing more of the bullying, actually."
Ara broke the hug. "Wow, Gin. That really comforted me." She said sarcastically.
"I knew I could do it!" Ginny said triumphantly and they ended up laughing on the floor.
