disclaimer : I do not own anything to do with Harry Potter officially. They are all properties of J.. I think… they aren't mine anyhow… nowhere near it.
A/N: Sorry but I made a mistake previously stating Frank and Sirius's age as 5, I'm now changing it to 10 for both of them and Neville's age is 36, Luna 35
Chapter Four: Mysteries
The red-haired boy was worried. He wondered if he was going get the locket back any time soon. Mrs. Longbottom gazed at the locket dreamily, it was as if she was looking through the locket now more than looking at it.
Sirius started to fidget. His hands were gently sliding closer to the locket and his feet gliding along the wooden floor. Just as he was about to snatch the locket from her hands Mr. Longbottom rested his hand on my small shoulder and smiled. Leaning close to him, he whispered, "She'll give it back. Don't worry". Sirius had a hard time not grabbing the locket and running. He reminded himself that the Longbottoms had been kind to him. They actually treated him like a person… not many people did that on the streets. They just threw a few shirts and coins at him. He trusted them.
After a while Mrs. Longbottom returned to earth and gave Sirius his locket back. 'Frank, can you take Sirius to your room and play with your brooms'. Frank was about to protest saying Harry wasn't a wizard but quickly remembered and took Sirius's hand and ran to his room. When they were out of sight Luna said 'Come on Nev, let's talk in the bedroom.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*
Frank quickly closed the door behind him and looked expectantly at Sirius 'well? Are you going to explain who you are?'
Sirius judged whether to tell Frank or not.
'Well Frank did tell on me to Mrs. Longbottom. But he was really nice this morning. He let me play with him and his toys.'
After a few minutes in which Frank gazed at Sirius intensely observing all his movement, Sirius started talking. 'Well I lied about my name `cause you are never suppose to tell the people you've just met your real name.' Frank held on to every single syllable.
'And well I don't know much else… other then that my parents are dead and my brother's out there somewhere.'
Silence took place.
'What! That's IT! You've GOT to know MORE. Like how come you are ten when you were born, like when HARRY POTTER was born. I mean look at the picture it looks like you guys were born on the same day! How can you not know anything? Wait WHAT HARRY POTTER's ALIVE? Wow' Frank seemed to run out of gas and finally calmed down and sank into his black and white beanbag.
Sirius timidly sat on another beanbag he discovered and asked 'What do you know about my brother?'
'You don't know?' Frank replied, wide-eyed and excited.
As Frank explained the story of great Harry Potter, the true version that his parents had told him as he grew up, Luna was explaining what she saw to Neville.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As she silently closed the door behind her, she cast a silencing charm around the room.
'So, what did you see?' Neville asked eager to know what Luna saw through the seer's eye. It was discovered that Luna had level 3 seer's eyes when a healer from the exchange programme with Egypt came to St. Mungo's and saw Luna inspecting a patient. There were largely three types of seers. Level one was able to see the future, whether it be at will or not, level 2 capable of giving prophecies and level 3 was able to see through magic at present and possibly being able to develop into level one.
'He's Harry's twin brother' Luna replied
'Wow but how? I mean he's so young' Neville said bewildered.
'He has a twin bond, it's very delicate at the moment but it's still there. There's also a memory encased within the edges of the glass in the locket. It's hard to see with the naked eye cause it's so thinly cased. It's in between the picture and the glass and at the edge if the locket' Luna said informingly.
'And?' Neville asked clearly expecting more.
'The memory itself was blocked by Harry's mother, Lily, and I presume its some kind of a message that can only be shown through Dumbledore's pensieve. I could see the block on the memory and it reminded me of a pensieve and Dumbledore's magic for some reason.'
'Do you know who has the pensieve now?' Luna continued.
'Uhh.. I think Ginny has it. All of Dumbledore's stuff ended up with Harry and well… you know what happened, well everything kind of ended up with Ginny. Not sure as to how, but it did. We should tell everybody about this when we go get the pensieve. I'll floo them after breakfast.' Neville told her
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Frank had just finished telling Sirius how Harry had 'died' or 'disappeared' as Sirius kept insisting that Harry was in fact alive. When Mrs. Longbottom came in to get them for breakfast.
'You kids must be starving, come on.' Luna said to the kids.
Frank and Sirius quickly finished their cereal and shot away into Frank's room again whispering about Harry.
Neville took a few minutes to water his plants and take care of them after which he had his daily tea with me. Just relaxing in the sofa as content as anyone could be.
Finally Neville got up and went by the fire. He chucked some floo powders in and when the emerald flames rose he stuck his head in and yelled 'The Otter's Creek'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ron was playing with his son Hugo in the back yard when the floo call came.
'Ron! You there?' Neville yelled out.
'Oh, Hello Nev. How are you this morning?' Hermione came through the kitchen door greeting Neville.
'Oh, Hey Hermione, I'm good thanks, considering a few things.' he replied
Hermione didn't miss the quickly fleeting shadow on Neville's face. 'What's wrong Nev?'
'It's about Harry… We need to talk, everyone. Can you get the family together? I know it's short notice bu-' Neville was quickly cut off. 'Don't worry Neville I'll get everyone. At the Burrow?' Hermione quickly asked, her mind reeling with the recent development.
'Yeah, and get Ginny to bring Dumbledore's pensieve. We're going to need it'
'Alright, what time?' he asked.
'Why don't you come at 5 we'll talk it over after dinner?'
'I'll see you then, oh just so no one's shocked, especially Molly, I'm bringing Harry's twin brother. They don't look the same mind you. His name's Sirius'
Hermione ended the call. Her mind was numb. She took out some calming draught and gulped it down. This was going to be interesting to say the least.
She took a few minutes to process this information and prepared to floo call the family.
A/N: I'm almost there. Harry will hopefully show up on the next on HOPEFULLY. Please review. It would be extremely nice to hear what you think whether it be cruel or encouraging. Of course I would prefer 'encouraging' reviews.
