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,
Serena

Chapter 5
Harry starts to walk out with Dudley, and Harry turns and walks over to Dumbledore and asks "would it be ok to get a mild sleeping potion for Dudley. He seems to be shaken up."
"I think that would be most wise Harry. I also think that is very considerate of you to think of your cousin." Dumbledore said as he turned and walked over to his desk. He pulled his desk drawer opened and handed Harry a small, brown, paper bag. Harry and Dudley leave Dumbledore's office When they entered the Gryffindor common room, Ron and Hermione rushed over to Harry.
"Harry, where did you go? Why is he here with you now?" Ron asked.
"Harry we were worried about you." Hermione said.
"I'm fine. The reason Dudley is here is because Death eaters have blown up most of Privet Dr. the house I use to live in is no longer there. My family has come to stay here until Professor Dumbledore and I figure out what to do next." Harry said. He then turned to Ron and said, "Dudley will be bunking with us."
Dudley these are my two best friends Ron and Hermione." Harry looks around and then starts again, "Everyone this is my cousin, Dudley. He'll be staying with us for a while. Dudley this is Dean, Seamus, Alicia, Katie Bell, and Neville; and over there by the fire is Ginny and Katie Snape. Everyone was polite to Dudley and made him feel welcomed and at ease (Dudley didn't see the look that Harry gave his friends that said 'be nice or else I'll hex you' look.) Dudley just continued to nod and stare because he was still in shock at seeing his house and neighborhood destroyed.
"Katie, could I have a word with you for a minute?" Harry asked.
"Sure." Katie replied as she walked over to the stairs where Harry and Dudley were. "So, when do you want to meet?" She said as if reading his mind.
"Tomorrow after dinner when dinner is over follow me. Ron and Hermione will distract Snape and Malfoy. Harry told her. Then he turned to Dudley and said, "Come on, Dudley follow me, and I'll show you where you will be sleeping." Then turned and started up the stairs. Harry noticed an extra bed next to his. Dudley
found a pair of Pajama's on the empty bed and he changed. He got on the bed and asked Harry "What are we going to do now Harry? We don't have a house to live in anymore. Mom is afraid, and dad is mad enough to spit nails. I don't know what to think of all this. It is scary but now I'm not so afraid here. Why?"
"Dumbledore and I will figure out what to do next. You probably feel safe here because it is peaceful here and Dumbledore has that calming effect on people. Aunt Petunia will be fine. Uncle Vernon is mad because he hates everything about magic because he doesn't understand it and what he doesn't
understand he fears." Harry said. He pulls out the small, brown, paper bag from under his robe. "Here I was able to sneak this from the kitchen for you. It is a sweet cake." He said as he handed Dudley the bag. Dudley took the cake out of the bag and ate it slowly. Minutes passed by, and Dudley was over come by a wave of drowsiness. He finally, fell into a deep dreamless sleep. Harry noticed that Dudley finally dozed off, tucked him in, and drew the curtains down around him. Harry heard people coming upstairs and quickly drew the curtains around him so the guys would think he was asleep and not bother him until later. When everyone finally fell asleep, Harry got up and sat in the window. Harry stared out the window, thinking over the last couple of years. Cedric dying, Sirius dying, the prophecy, and everyone thinking that he was an attention, seeking, and mental case. His first kiss it wasn't terrible, but it could have been a lot better. Harry regretted that he didn't have anyone to talk to about dating, kissing girls, and other guy things. He missed having a father figure. Maybe he could talk to Professor Lupin about these things or even Mr. Weasley. I'll think about it later, he thought. By the time he finished with all of his thoughts it was time to get up. He changed into his school uniform and woke Dudley up. Harry opened his trunk and there were some clothes for Dudley there. When Dudley changed they headed to the great hall for breakfast.
Will Dudley's questions be answered? Why will Harry help his family after the way they have treated him? How will breakfast go? Will Dudley make Friends? Stay tuned for part 6.
