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 (Rena)

Katie's Choice

As Harry started to give the password to the gargoyle, he saw the last person he ever wanted to see approaching, Professor Snape. Harry ignored Snape and gave the password 'Fawkes'. When the stairs started moving Harry jumped on the top step and rode all the up. Snape followed him somewhat behind him. Harry knocked on the door then entered, and he slammed the door in Snape's face. Dumbledore looked up and saw Harry standing there, "Right on time, Harry. Would you open the door for Professor Snape? He needs to be here as well." Dumbledore started, and Harry reluctantly opened the door. "Severus, please come in and have a seat. Harry, I have asked Professor Snape to sit in on this meeting. Also I have asked Professor Lupin to join us as well. While we are waiting for Professor Lupin I need to tell you that your Uncle Vernon has left your aunt and Hogwarts this morning to live with his sister. Your aunt is very distraught, and I gave her a potion to help her rest." Dumbledore said as Professor Lupin walked in.

"Did I miss anything Important?" Lupin asked.

"I just told Harry about his Uncle and that I wanted Snape to stay for this meeting." Dumbledore said.

Harry spoke up and said, "And I was getting ready to ask why he has to be here. I don't really want him here because he likes making my life more difficult then it already is. He hates me because my dad use to hex him when he was my age."

"I'm here to give a report to Dumbledore and to let you know that you are to stay away from my niece. Is that clear, Potter." Snape said.

"I didn't know she was your niece until you made that scene at the sorting ceremony. She IS my friend, and if she wants to hang around with me, Ron and Hermione that is her business." Harry said to Snape then turned to look at Dumbledore, "Do I need to leave while you are listening to his report, sir?"

"No Harry I want you here to hear it. I think you need to know what is going on since you have to fight him, and you have shown me that you can stand on your on two feet and fight the good fight, but you also know when to ask for help."

Dumbledore started then he turned to Snape. "Go ahead Severus; you should start your report since you have a class get to."

"Yes, Headmaster. First, I should tell you that the Dark Lord is worried. He seems to be afraid of Potter therefore he is trying to gather more followers. He has most of the Giants, Hagrid got through to a quarter of them. The Dark Lord also has all of the dementors on his side. He thinks that he can still get to Potter because he used his blood, but he doesn't remember all of the bonding powers that he was marked with, so Potter is still safe for now. By the way Potter I don't know how you managed to do as well as you did on the Potion portion of the OWLS but don't expect me to go easy on you. Also, I don't expect to see you this afternoon either because you look likes you haven't slept at all and I wouldn't want you to blow up my dungeon." Snape finished and glared at Harry. Harry glared back then he smiled at Professor Snape. Snape looked confused and left. Harry then broke out in a grin and gave a short laugh. Professor Lupin hid a smile of amusement.

"Professor Dumbledore, you told me about my Aunt and Uncle. What else should we discuss? What was Snape talking about the bond? Why did the death eaters want to hurt my Aunt? How did they find my Aunt? Why is Snape so interested in who Katie hangs around with? Why does he really hate me? I mean it has to be more than just his grudge against my dad." Harry asked.

"You are your father's son, Harry. Snape is just mad that you have your father's qualities and traits and the fact that Gryffindor has won the House Cup for 5 years and the Quidditch Cup for 2 years. Now his brother's only child is here and she is in Gryffindor plus she has a big crush on you. So Professor Snape isn't a very Happy Camper. As to the bond, Voldemort hasn't really broken it just part of it. You see Harry, Love is a hard bond to break. He may have broken past the touch barrier, but he still can't kill you because of your bond with your mother and your Aunt. Their love keeps you alive. Since Voldemort doesn't know about the whole bond not being broken I have no clue as to why the death eaters are hunting them." Lupin said.

"What Lupin said is all true Harry. Voldemort can't really kill you. He just thinks he can." Dumbledore started, and then his gaze turned serious. "Harry, Professor Lupin and I have something very important to tell you. You must not interrupt us until we are finished. Do you understand?" Harry nodded.

Lupin began "Harry, You know that Sirius was your Godfather correct." Harry nodded again. "He also adopted you right before he died leaving me to be your new guardian. He also revised his will leaving you the house, Kreacher, all of his belongings except a few things for Ron, Hermione, and me it is all yours. Those boxes we moved yesterday Harry are what was left of your parents things. Ms. Figg was keeping them until you were ready. If it is alright with you for Holidays; your aunt, Dudley, Ron, Hermione, you and I will be staying at the Black house. If you want to make changes that is up to you. I have sent the boxes on ahead to the house but kept out a few things. I already know that you have Lily's diary, so now I will give you James' Journal. There is also some Defense Against the Dark Arts Items in there as well. There are some more Marauders devices that you should have." He said as he handed Harry a silver handle mirror that it had paw prints etched around the sides. "It will show you anyone who is disguised or invisible and will only show magic folk. And to work it you will need your wand to tap it on top of the mirror then it will tell you what to do."

Harry took out his wand and tapped the mirror and it said:

"Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs
Purveyors of aids to magical mischief-makers
are proud to present:

The Mirror of Reflection

Tap once with your wand and say 'illusion revealum' to see
those around you for what they really are."

"Harry you look tired you should go rest before Lunch I'll look after Dudley for you." Dumbledore said.

"Alright I'll try." Harry replied and walks out. Then he stops at the door and listens for a minute.

"You know, Harry reminds me of his great-grandfather and his Great-Great-Great Uncle. Don't you think so Remus?" Dumbledore asked.

"I sure do" Lupin replied.

Harry left Dumbledore's chambers and headed towards Gryffindor Tower. He entered through the portrait and headed towards his dorm room. Instead of lying on his bed he took his mom's diary and dad's journal over to the windowsill.

What will the past reveal? Who could Dumbledore and Lupin be referring to? Will Dudley fit in? How will the books affect Harry's future? Stay tuned to find out.
