Harry groaned as he awoke, he was uncomfortable in the plastic chair he had eventually fallen asleep on, stretching Harry looked around, Ron and Hermione were asleep either side of him, Ginny was beside Ron, Luna and Neville had to go the previous day, Severus, Sirius and Emma weren't there, and Melanie was sleeping on her bed.

Just as he got up Harry could hear quiet arguing.

"It's too much. Not yet give them time!"

"What about-"

"Not right now, we've got to tell them about Mary Rose yet, can't we do that first?"

"I think he's right Emma."

"Fine!"

Suddenly Emma flounced into the room, then spotted Harry and hugged him.

"How are you this morning?" She asked him, but Harry didn't answer, he just stared shocked at his aunt.

"Who-who is Mary Rose?" Harry asked as Severus and Sirius walked into the room. The men looked at each other as Emma looked away from Harry, to the two older men.

"That's something for me to tell both your sister and you," Emma said softly, smiling sadly at her nephew.

"Who are you?" Melanie murmured as she started to wake up, Emma turned to her niece and goddaughter and smiled.

"I'm your Godmother. Emma Potter, I'm also your aunt," Emma explained, Melanie smiled at the woman, and hugged her.

"Oh I'm so glad I get to meet you now!" Melanie said happily.

"Hold on Melanie, I need to tell you and your brother something," Emma said carefully, she didn't really want to upset them, but she had to say something.

"Oh?"

"There's something you need to know," Emma said, Melanie sat up and Harry perched on his sister's bed. "You had an older sister, kind of, she died before she was born, her name was Mary Rose, she had a lot of problems, you mum never knew she was pregnant until she passed out at four months only to wake up and be told she had a miscarriage. After that your mum and dad couldn't be separated, they got engaged and married six months later. Well engaged almost five months, and then married a month after. I was only eleven at the time, my parents were both still alive, Sirius wasn't engaged, and Severus was still building his friendship with James." Emma sighed as her eyes watered. "It really hurt your mum; it was months before she even smiled again. She wasn't sure about having more kids, and yet she knew she wanted to have James' babies but was terrified of miscarrying again."

"Y-you mean I-I-I H-Have an o-ol-older s-sister?" Melanie asked, tears falling from her eyes.

"Yes, you do Melanie, I was wondering, I own the Potter homes now, the grave, it's in the Potter home, would you, on your next Hogsmeade, like to come and visit?" Emma asked. Melanie nodded silently as Harry just stared into space, this was a bit much, a Sister, Aunt, another sister who had died, Snape was his sisters Godfather. Harry shook his head and got up and walked away.

"Harry?" Melanie called after him, but she got no reply, he just carried on walked until he was out of the room, he stopped then walked down the corridor, Melanie struggled to get out of bed, but was held back by her godparents, the noise woke up Hermione, Rom and Ginny.

"I want Harry!" Melanie cried.

Sirius sent a look at Emma then ran off down the corridor to find Harry.

The sixteen year old was sitting in the relative's room on his own. He didn't understand, there was so much he didn't know, he didn't want to know, he needed to know. Things were too much, it wasn't even Christmas yet and he had two new relatives, another who had died and found out his enemy was his little sisters godfather.

And from the pressure of it all he just cried, slid to the floor and lets it all come out in tears, leaking heavily.

Back in Melanie's room Ginny had also left, she walked silently down the halls and saw as Sirius ran off around a corner, she sighed and closed her eyes, she felt horrible for Harry, then she heard it, a quiet sob, she looked into a room to her left, it was a relative's room, slowly she reached out and pushed the door open, and stepped inside closing the door silently behind her. She looked around until she spotted Harry, walked towards him, and sunk to the floor beside him.

Not really knowing what else to do Ginny wrapped her arms around the boy, until Harry leaned into her and sobbed on her shoulder.

"Shhhh, it'll be ok Harry, it really will," Ginny said softly, she kissed the top of his head and rocked him slightly as she did with her girlie friends when they were upset. She remained until his cries subsided and got up and fetched him the box of tissues on the window sill. "Here, I think you might want these." She said handing him the box.

"Thanks Ginny," Harry croaked, he looked up and into her doe brown eyes, so full of concern, she smiled at him and her whole face lit up. And for a second she wasn't just Little Ginny Weasley, Ron's little sister, she was beautiful, and he leaned forward and kissed her, and was pleasantly surprised when she kissed him back. It was what they both need in many, but mainly for Harry it kept him rooted to this world.

They could have been there hours before they heard someone clear their throat and the pair parted to see Sirius standing there grinning.

"As much as I would love to let you two finally get on with it, your sister is refusing to calm down until she has her Harry back," Sirius laughed. Harry nodded and got up, helped Ginny up and walked back to Melanie's room with Ginny's small but slender hand in his own large hand.

Melanie was crying when he walked back into the room, and only stopped when she saw her brother and her best friend holding hands, she gave a watery smile. "Finally!"

"Miss Potter?" A healer asked walking into the room.

"Yes?" Melanie asked.

"You are free to go. Your clothes have been put in your beside draw. And your wand is in there also, as well as anything else that was on your person when you were brought in." Melanie nodded and thanked the healer before reaching for her clothes, only when she pulled them out she realised they were still covered in her blood.

Hermione grimaced and picked up a bag that had been by her feet.

"Here you go, I remember Ginny and her bloody clothes, I thought you might want something to wear," Hermione said handing Melanie the bag. "There's your toothbrush and hairbrush in there also." Melanie smiled as Emma played with her hair.

"I must say this blue streaks look quiet nice, what do you think Sev?" Emma asked, as she played with her goddaughters hair.

"Quite." Severus said with a nod, and then left the room to let Melanie get changed.

When finally she was out and ready, wearing a pair of Jeans white t-shirt and warm jacket, she met the Healer who was looking after her.

"Miss Potter, one more thing. You'll probably want to make sure you move a lot, because you won't want to get stiff, which can happen in the first week, if you just do simple stretches then you'll be fine. Good Luck."
