Minerva stood in the kitchen; she was behind Andromeda. Looking directly at them was her brother, the one person that she had avoided her whole life. He was now only feet away from her, and she was only moments away from telling him everything.

"Hello dear, pleasure you could join us today." Andromeda smiled as she walked towards Harry.

Harry looked at Minerva and then back at Andromeda. "You asked me to come today, you said that it was in the best interest of Teddy that I come over. What is it? Is he okay?" He looked at the small child playing in the living room.

Andromeda smiled at Minerva and nodded. "Yes, I did send you that post. Teddy is fine, it has nothing to do with his health. It has more to do with his family and getting them all together."

Minerva was frozen in place; how will she do this?

Harry looked at Andromeda confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Well, I am going to put Teddy down for a nap, and Minerva here will tell you everything." She smiled as she led them both into the living room.

Minerva gave her grandmother a look, as she shook her head at her. Andromeda just smiled.

"Harry!" Teddy jumped into his arms.

Harry smiled and hugged him. "Hey Teddy, how is it going?"

"It is great, have you met sissy." He smiled and looked over at Minerva.

Minerva's face dropped.

"Sissy?" Harry asked confused.

"Yup, this is my sissy Minnie." Teddy replied proudly.

Andromeda went over laughing as she took Teddy. "Well, I will leave you two alone. Come on mister, it is nap time." She took him into his bedroom.

Minerva sat down on the sofa; she was so nervous. Her face was pale, and her stomach was turning.

Harry sat down in the armchair. He looked over at her. "Um – so you are Teddy's sister?" He asked breaking the silence.

"Yes – um – well kind of." She took a deep breath. "Remus and Dora adopted me when I was younger."

Harry was so confused. "Remus and Tonks had a daughter? Why did I never meet you? Did you go to Hogwarts?"

She shook her head. "No, I did not attend Hogwarts. I was educated with Beauxbaton Academy. Just finished up there last June."

"How old were you when you came to Remus and Tonks?" Harry was trying to piece all this together.

"I was about two months when I came to Remus." She looked at him, then back at the floor. "My parents were killed, and I was bought to live with him."

"That is awful, did he know your parents? What happened to them?" He asked her.

"They were killed – " She knew this is where the truth would come out. "- they were killed by the dark lord; it was in the fall of 1981. Yes, Remus knew them very well, they were all best friends."

"Who were they?" Harry knew of who Remus' close friends were and was not aware that any of them had kids other then his parents.

"Well-" She handed him the locket that she wore, the one Sirius gave her years ago. It had a young Lily and James in it.

Harry looked at it, there was a picture of a Lily flower on the front of it. He opened it, and he seen his parents in the locket. "This is not right; these are my parents."

Minerva nodded at him, as her heart was beating a mile a minute. "Yes, Lily and James Potter."

"No." He looked at the locket and then back her at. "You are lying. What do you want?"

"What do you mean, what do I want? I want you to finally know the truth. It is time that you know." She responded.

Harry shook his head. "Finally, how long have you known. How long has every one known?"

"I will tell you everything, I just need you to promise you will stay calm." Minerva seen anger building up in his eyes.

"I can try, but there is no guarantee." Harry replied.

"On October thirty first of 1981 our parents were killed. When Hagrid arrived, he was told to take you and meet Dumbledore at the Dursley's later. That is when Albus had arrived, he knew that I was there in the house but not sure if I survived the Dark Lord. That is when he found me, I was asleep in mom and dad's room, in a small bassinet. The Dark Lord did not find me and was unaware that I even existed." She looked at Harry, he was listening to every word. "Albus had then decided that we would be better off not together, as a way to protect me from the Dark Lord. He brought me to Remus. Remus at first did not want to sperate us but Albus soon convinced him that it was for the best."

He sighed. "For the best! I had to live with the Dursley's, they were awful. You got to be loved and treated like a real child, while I was stuck under the stairs and fed leftovers."

She looked away from him. "I know… I am so sorry for that. Once he left me with Remus, he then went on to enroll me with Beauxbaton instead of Hogwarts. Albus was the one who thought that all this would be best for the both of us."

Harry rolled his eyes, as he took a deep breath in. "How could one think that it was best to give one sibling a crappy life and the other this." He looked around at all the pictures. "When did you find out?"

"I was unaware of who you were. Remus did not even mention your name, or our parents name. The first time I heard of you was when you arrived at Hogwarts and the Daily Prophet published something about it. After that Remus and the others would keep me away from the Daily Prophet." She went on. "They were all determined to keep this a secret."

"You keep saying them, they, how many knew?" Harry asked.

"At first the only ones that knew I was born was Remus, Sirius, Albus, and Peter. After our parents were killed Remus, Albus and Severus knew of me and my where abouts – "

"Severus, as in Snape? He knew as well?" Harry interrupted.

"Yes." She nodded. "Severus would care for me during the weeks of the full moon. Remus was unable to do so, that is when Albus thought that Severus would be the best to help."

Harry put his hand on his forehead. "This is all insane. I must be in a dream."

"You are not, this is all real." She added. "As I aged and began to be more curious Severus was unable to take me to the school with him while he taught. That is when they bought in another family to help take care of me. Albus had let the Tonks family in on the secret that he was keeping from the world –"

"So, Ted, Andromeda, and Nymphadora all knew of you as well?" Harry seemed really hurt by all this.

"Yes, they have all known of me since I was about seven years old. That is when I started going to their house on the weeks of the full moon. For years they are the only six that knew of who I was. As I was to start Beauxbaton when I turned eleven, Albus thought that if I went as Potter, it would get a lot of questions asked. That is when he told Remus that I was enrolled as Lupin not Potter. So, when I started school, I was known as Minerva Lily Lupin." She hated seeing the anger that was in his eyes, and she knew that it would only get worse. "The first year of school was quiet, and nothing really happened. It was in my second year when things really changed. Sirius had broken out, and he was on the run. At first Remus was scared of what Sirius would do if he found either one of us, and Remus was right. Near the end of my second year, I ran into Sirius outside of my school. He was so taken back when he learned that we did not know about each other, that is when he told me everything. That is the night I learned of who you, and our parents were – "

"He what?! Sirius told you?! He knew?!" He stood up.

Minerva backed up a bit. "Yes, he wanted to tell you, but Albus and Remus convinced him not to. They made him see that if the Dark Lord found me that he would use me against you in any way that he could."

Harry was pacing the living room. "No, that is just an excuse! I could have protected you; I would not have let him get to you!"

She held back tears. "Harry, I know that now, but I did not then. They had it so engraved into my head that one of us would be killed if the world knew."

"Where have you been these last two years?! The Dark Lord has been gone for two years?!" Harry looked over at her.

"I was scared, I was not sure how to do this. I lost everyone that night. Both of my parents –"

"Parents? Our parents died in 1981, they died to keep us safe, and probably together. Your parents did not die two years ago!"

"Okay, I lost Remus, Dora, and Severus. Those three people were the most important people in my life. I had a hard time coming to terms with all of this. I ran away, I left with Charlie and never looked back. Harry I am so sorry for that, I should have said –"

"But you did not!" He snapped at her. "You are just as bad as the others, if not worse! You had plenty of time to tell me and you chose not to! You could have told me before the war!"

"Harry, I wanted to but –"

"Stop! I am done, so done!" He stormed out.

Minerva sat there on the sofa; tears had escaped her eyes. Andromeda came out of the room, she pulled Minerva into her arms.

"That did not go well." Minerva sat up and looked at her.

She shook her head. "I heard it all. Harry is just hurt."

"I understand why, he was right." Minerva sighed. "I need some air."

Minerva walked out to the field where she always went to think as a child. This time seemed different, this time Remus was not there to join her and give her the advice that she would need.

A few hours had passed, she had dozed off in the tall grass. When she woke Charlie was sitting beside her. "Hello love."

She sat up and she hugged him. "Charlie, he hates me. I knew it would end this way."

"Minerva, give him time. Now that he knows he can sit with it for a little. Maybe Ginny will talk some sense into him." He kissed her head.

"I do not think he will get past this; he is mad. You should have seen the anger in his face."

"That is just Harry, he has a temper. Ron has told me about some of their arguments. There is one thing that I know though, Harry always forgives those that he loves. Minerva you are his only blood family, trust me he will want that relationship with you." Charlie reassured her.

"I really hope you are right." She looked out at the sky. "How are you here? You still have a week left at the camp." She needed a subject change.

He smirked. "I stopped doing what was asked of me, I stayed in bed all day. Mr. Topp gave up, he told me to leave and to never think of being in the world of Dragons again."

"I am sorry. At least you are free of him, and we can start a new life here. There is no more secret, Harry knows." She smiled at him.

"Next is my family, I can not wait for them to meet you." He kissed her lips. "I love you Minerva Lily Potter."
