I don't own Harry Potter. I don't want to own Harry Potter either. Now Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) I wouldn't mind owning him, but sadly I don't own him either. I do however own Katie Snape and other soon to be known Characters. I also own the plot of the story. I started this story with my Goddaughter and cousin. I posted this fic on my web groups. If you would like to check out the groups go to my profile. This is a Harry finds family in an unexpected place type story. Harry gets along with at least 2 members of the Dursley family, and finds that he has other family crawling out of the woodwork. Harry finds love with another Character that isn't originally. I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed so far. I would also like to suggest if you like Flaming then light a match. No one is perfect so please be nice constructive criticism is one thing but to be rude is not.

Thanks,

Katie's Choice

Chpater 3

Time to reveal the identity of our young Miss Katie.

Previously: As the last person, which is Katie, was called up to be sorted she sat there and prayed 'not Slytherin, please not Slytherin. Gryffindor would be great, Gryffindor would be great' the hat said "If you are sure then Gryffindor it is." As the Hat said this there was a big commotion at the head table.

Harry quickly looked up at the head table to see Professor Snape spray Professor Sprout and Hagrid with Pumpkin juice, scrape his chair back to stand up and shout. "KATIE SCARLETT SNAPE! YOU GET BACK UP THERE AND GET SORTED INTO SLYTHERIN."

"Sorry, Uncle Severus, I'm STAYING in Gryffindor. I don't want to be in a house that is full of GITS like Mouseboy there." She said pointing to Draco. When everyone heard this they busted out laughing. Draco blushed furiously at that statement. When Dumbledore stood up and raised his hands the crowd went silent.

"Now Severus, if Katie wants to be in Gryffindor that is where she should be. End of discussion." When he said this Professor Snape sat down, and Katie joined her new friends at the Gryffindor table.

"I hope you don't mind who my Uncle is. Can you believe all that commotion he made?" She asked.

"I don't mind," Harry started "I thought you handled your Uncle brilliantly. Mouseboy that is funny; that reminds me when Moody a.k.a. Barty Crouch turned Malfoy into a ferret and bounced him around in the air." Ron and Hermione laughed at the memory, too.

"I wished I could have seen that," Katie said, "Um, Harry don't look now but you're being glared at by a couple of people."

"That is ok Malfoy has never liked me and Snape doesn't like me because my father and godfather use to torture him when they were our age. I'm use to it by now." Harry said.

"I've got a plot to teach my Uncle a lesson you want to help me?" Katie asked.

"Sure" he said then leaned over to whisper something in her ear "Meet me in the common room around 2 am. We'll talk about it there." She nodded, and they both went back to eating. As they were eating an owl flew in. It was Hedwig and she was carrying what seemed to be a small book of sorts. Everyone turned towards Harry to see what he had received. Harry opened the

package to find a small, green book with Lily Evans Potter written on the front of it. Harry looked a bit puzzled. By now everyone had returned to eating and chatting with their friends. Except for Ron, Hermione, Professor Dumbledore and Professor Lupin, who continued watching Harry as he read the note? Harry was a bit shocked to find that the note was in his Aunt Petunia's handwriting. The note said:

Harry,

I know this maybe a bit of a shock and a lot to ask for, but we need your help. We were invited over to Ms. Figg's House for tea and cake, and while we were there were 5 or 6 people walking down the street wearing black hooded robes. They blew up 6 houses including our own. Ms. Figg has been kind enough to hide

us in her house. She said those people were death eaters and were probably looking for us. She wants to contact Dumbledore but Vernon won't hear of it. I am terrified of these people. Ms. Figg suggested that we write to you and you would know what to do. We sent it in Lily's old diary so as not to tip Vernon off. Please help us.

Aunt Petunia

By the time Harry finished reading this all of the blood had drained from his face. He was also in shock because he never expected his aunt to ask him for help. Harry folded the letter, looked at Dumbledore, and got up to leave. Hermione asked "Harry what's wrong."

"I need something from my trunk in the dorm I'll be right back." He said as he left. Lupin and Dumbledore followed Harry, and they caught up to him outside of the Fat Lady's portrait. They heard him mumbling 'What is the quickest way back: Broom, no muggles will see; Floo Powder, no can be traced; Knight Bus, no it might take too long; Portkey, gotta ask Dumbledore.'

"Ask me what Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

"What's the password?" Harry asked as he looked up startled to see professor Dumbledore and Lupin standing behind him.

"House Elf" Dumbledore replied and the portrait opened.

"Thanks." Harry said as he went through.

"What the rush Harry Lupin said as they entered behind him.

Harry looked at them, handed them the letter, and ran upstairs to get his mirror. They finished the letter as Harry ran back down.

"Professor, do you know if Ms. Figg has one of these mirrors." Harry asked as he held up his two way mirror.

"Yes I believe she does, but how did you get one?" Lupin asked.

"It doesn't matter now." Harry started "Arabella Figg, Ms. Figg it's me Harry." Ms. Figg's reflection came in clearly.

"Oh, Harry I'm glad you got the note and that Dumbledore is with you, too. Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy was here earlier with about a dozen death eaters. I picked them up on one of those sneak-o-meters thingy you gave me. They blew up 6 or more houses. When I seen them coming I invited the Dursley's over for tea and cake. They are safe for now. The death eaters are gone for now. I called the Ministry but they won't answer my call at all." Ms. Figg said

"Thank you, Ms. Figg. Lupin, Harry, and I are on our way to your house." Dumbledore said as the image on the mirror faded. Then he turned to Harry and said "we'll talk when we get your family settled here at Hogwarts." Harry nodded. Then Dumbledore walk over to the chair and picked up a pillow and turned it into a portkey. They all gathered around the pillow and left for Ms. Figg's house.

Why would the Death eaters be doing on Privet Drive when they know Harry would be at Hogwarts? What is the plot that Harry and Katie planning? Stay tuned for the next part.

Please review I like ideas and constructive criticism.
