I don't own Harry Potter

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

Chapter 18

Four days after the Quidditch accident Harry was unconscious. Madam Serena suggested that Harry be moved to her quarters or Severus' quarters. It was decided that Severus' quarters would be the safest and that Harry would stay there for the rest of the year.

The day after harry was moved to Severs' quarters was when he woke up. It was a Friday that Harry woke up to see Severus sitting beside his bed reading a book.

"Water" crocked Harry.

Immediately Severus was by his side with a glass of water. "Sip it slowly Harry." Severus told him.

"Thanks" Harry said, "What Happened I feel like I have been hit by the Knight us."

"Voldemort sent you a vision and you fell off of your broom. Draco caught you and brought you safely to the ground. You have been unconscious for 5 days." Severus said. Then he added. "It has been decided that you are to share quarters with me."

"Sorry, sir I don't want to be a burden to you. If you would rather not share with me I will understand." Harry said.

"Harry I was the one that suggested that you live here. There is something that I need to tell you. Harry your father and I were first cousins. I want you to live here where I can keep you safe. I don't have many members of my family left but I would like to get to know you better." Severus said.

"I know that we are cousins. I read it in my father's journal. I would like to get to know you better too sir. My dad really loved you and thought of you as a true friend. He wrote about pranks you 2 pulled off and talk of Uncle Tobias. I know it is too soon to be thinking about plans for Christmas but I would like for you and Katie to spend it with me at Sirius' old house. I thought about naming the place something corny like Love's Paradise or something like that. It would be a way to piss Sirius' mom off." Harry said with a chuckle.

Severus chuckled too. "It might be a way to scare her painting down. As for Christmas, we would be delighted to stay. I also want to apologize for the way I've treated you in the past."

"Sir, you have nothing to apologize for. We're Ohana. Ohana means family and family means that no one gets left behind or forgotten. Love means never having to say you're sorry." Harry said.

Severus was looking a bit uncomfortable said, "Yes, well, um, your things are already down here. I'll leave you to unpack." He finished and left quickly.

As Harry was unpacking he found a note. He checked it for spells and to see if it might be a portkey. When he determined that it was safe it opened it and read it. It said: Congratulations on finding your cousin. Now for your other relative. He gave your grandmother up to muggles because she was a squib, and he wanted to keep her safe. She married muggle and he didn't want to disrupt her new family. He watched as her family grew and was excited to see that your mother was a witch. You know him and he knows you. That is all I will say at this point. I will send you another clue in a month.

These 2 quotes came from 2 of my favorite movies. (Lilo and Stitch) We're Ohana. Ohana means family and family means that no one gets left behind or forgotten. (Love Story) Love means never having to say you're sorry. I'm sorry for not updating like I want. I was injured on my job back in November and the meaning of light sit down duty didn't seem to mean anything to my employers. It made my injury worse. So now I go to pain management and Physical Therapy, and I am on some strong painkillers. I also had a cancer scare a couple of months back. Ok next chapter Draco will talk to Harry. The Halloween dance will be coming up maybe not in the next chapter but soon. Kathleen and Remus might pop-up. Severus and Serena will spend time together too. Maybe a double date lol. What will James' Journal reveal next? I hope to update faster on the next chapter since I am going to spend the weekend at the beach. I won't be doing much because I here it is very hard to walk on sand with crutches.

Until next time.
