A/N: First I want to thank everybody for the reviews.
This is a story from a fan, Harry Potter is not mine.

(BSC 2 C3) C33 Sisters.

In the weeks that followed you could find Harry in front of the Portrait of his father and mother. There he was slowly making up the time he had lost as a child. The time where he mostly had wished that his parents had been with him instead of the Dursleys. And something he would have if it had not been for the meddling old fool named Albus Dumbledore.

James often told him stories of the past and how it had been at school. Lilly told how she just like Harry had grown up as a Muggle. These were the most wonderful hours Harry had spent in his childhood.

Bella was often ad his side and then hung on to Harry's shoulder and listen to the stories that James and Lily were telling them.

Early in the morning, Minerva went back to Hogwarts, but every night she came back to the castle. Then she often sat in front of the portrait and had conversations with her daughter for hours ad an end.

Harry then usually went to Arabella in the potion room. That was what Arabella had called it. She had told Harry that she like a Squib had almost no magic but could make the most difficult potions there was.

Bella and Harry were often assisting her in making the potions and were also thought the basics of potion-making, Something Severus Snape had not taught them properly. And so they learned much more than that Severus Snape could ever teach them.

Although they knew that Severus Snape would never give them any good marks, or even think they could brew a proper potion. They learned as much as they could from Arabella.

Arabella enjoyed the time she could spend with Bella and Harry. Never in here dreams would she have thought that she could be part of the magical world. And now she was not only part of it, she lived in a castle and had a wonderful daughter. Each potion Bella and Harry made she grade them and told them what they did wrong or how good it was.

If they were not brewing any potions, they were working in the greenhouses planting or harvesting herbs and other things they would need.

Mostly after lunch they would go outside and practiced Quidditch or just go swimming in the pond. Everything they did at Potter castle would help them at school. And here at the castle they had more fun doing it then they hat doing it at school.

*#*

On one of those evenings Minerva had an in-depth going conversation with Lilly and James.

Arabella who was sitting next to her was totally focused on a Muggle novel, and was absolutely oblivious about what Minerva and Lily were discussing.

Harry and Bella were for one's sent to bed early that evening because they needed the rest.

And finally in a moment of silence Minerva came to the point that she could ask the question that had been bothering her for a long time. From out of nowhere Minerva asked Lily without hesitation why Lily had sacrificed herself for Harry. It was not that she disliked the decision. It was something that would be the ultimate offer a mother could make for her child. And she respected Lilly immensely for it.

Lilly then told her that Albus had told them about a prediction that had been made, and it basically came down to this. Voldemort would be defeated by a child whose parents had fought him three times. That child would there for be Harry or Neville.

We just did not know which of the two Voldemort would choose. So we both went into hiding just to be save. The next thing we did was to make Peter our secret keeper. And as it turns out Peter, was the one who betrayed us.

Minerva then told Lily and James that everyone had suspected Sirius of the betrayal, and also that he had killed over ten muggles while he went after Peter. But above all that, he had killed Peter.

The next ting Minerva told them she did with a little hesitation en that was that Harry had a piece of soul in his head, and that it was a piece from the soul of Voldemort. But she immediately also told them that it was gone now, and that everything was okay with Harry.

From out of nowhere there was a cry of pain.

It was Bella who screamed.

Minerva stood and Disapparated to the room Bella.

Arabella wanted to walk out the door but was immediately called back by Lilly.

"Please Arabella Take those two small frames with you" Lily asked.

Arabella did not know why but she did it anyway. Up the stairs Arabella heard Bella screaming again and again.

"No, I will not kill Harry. It does not matter, I will not kill him".

Both of the women knew that Bella was back in her world of nightmares. The only thing they could do now was waiting until she called for Harry. Then one thing was certain they knew that Harry would come immediately.

From the hands of Arabella, they heard two voices. It were the voices from Lilly and James. They had appeared in the small portraits that Arabella had taken along. They wanted to look at what would happen and also what Harry really did when Bella called him.

It took a while before Bella cried for Harry. But just when she screamed for Harry he was already beside her.

Harry crawled on her bed and looked at her. "I'm here Bella" he said softly.

Bella looked at him and the eyes of Harry turned back in his head. And Harry slumped down beside her.

*#*

Harry appeared in the dream world of Bella.

There on the old dirty mattress was the adult version of Bellatrix black.

It made Harry think of the mattress in his cupboard, the mattress where he had to sleep on until he was ten years old. "Bellatrix I am here, where is he" Harry asked her.

The adult Bellatrix stared at him with red eyes from crying. "I really do not know Harry, you came and he was gone. But we are still here. So he has to be around somewhere" Bellatrix said.

Harry took her hand and pulled her up.

It was something that was strange to Bellatrix. Here she was a grown woman. And the hand of a young twelve year old boy made her inner self be warm and fuzzy. She did not know why but she completely trusted Harry. With him at her side she felt safe.

"I want to get out of here Bellatrix, so we are going to look for him" Harry said without any hesitation.

Here she walked hand in hand with Harry Potter. She was the adult Bellatrix in her dream but she felt like a little girl. It also was as if Harry was fearless, but she knew better.

With her hand in Harry's she walked out of the room. They came into a corridor that was dark and clammy. In the distance there was a door that was open.

Harry walked resolutely to that door.

Behind a table sat a blond woman. "Who are you, if I may ask," Harry asked the woman.

The woman looked up and saw Bellatrix with next to her Harry potter and she was holding his hand. "Ah, Harry, I see you're still with my sister" she said.

Harry looked back at Bellatrix and saw that it was also a surprise for her, and she just shrugged her shoulders.

"What is this place, this place where we are now" Harry asked again.

The blond woman stood up and walked around through the room. She glanced at the two of them and started walking again. Suddenly she stopped and said. "I'm not sure but I think it's a memory or it once was one. I often walk through this house and I think I know it, But I do not know where I am.

What I do know is that Lord Voldemort is also here. Sometimes I can hear him screaming at Bellatrix, his voice makes the hairs on my neck stand up. And every time he does it, you Harry will appear from out of nowhere.

Harry, I know I've already told it to you, but you can beat him. I do not know when I told you, but I know I have done it. You cannot beat him here and now. But you can still keep him at bay.

I have also seen Sirius here Just one's or twice. Once I have seen your father here. Harry did you know that Bellatrix once was in love with him" the woman said with a smile.

Bellatrix blushed at the words her sister said.

The blonde woman looked at her and smiled, just before her eyes went big in surprise. "Oh dear, you are now in love with Harry" she exclaimed.

Harry looked at Bellatrix.

In his eyes, you could see desperation. This Bellatrix was much older than the Bella he knows. And he was also in love with his little Bella. But was he also in love with this Bellatrix.

Harry was not sure why, but the blonde woman immediately knew what he was thinking.

"Yes Harry, you're also in love with this Bellatrix. The Bellatrix that you see now is a reminder of a dream or memory. This is the Bellatrix you will know in about twenty seven years. Your Bella is twelve, but they are one and the same.

Voldemort has done something to Bellatrix, I do not know what, but I think I've done the same thing. And that's why I'm also here.

What I do know is that Voldemort wants you dead. And if I'm not mistaken Bellatrix is the one who must kill you. She cannot do it because her heart belongs to you. But in order to keep it that way, you have to stay with her. I do not want her to kill you. But do not know what I can do about it" the woman said.

Harry was now the one who was walking through the room.

Bellatrix followed him with her eyes. She could not understand why she had to kill him. He was so kind to her. He was never angry with her and always cuddled her when she needs it. But he always came to help her when she asked or screamed.

It was very difficult for Bellatrix to not care about Harry. He has captured her heart. He had done that on the day that she looked directly into his eyes, it was the day when he hid himself from his cousin. What those two green eyes did with her she did not know but her heart skips several beats that day. In her mind it felt as if she had already kissed Harry once or twice. But she did not know if it was a desire or a memory.

But now he was the one she was following, and she would continue to do so. He was the one for her.

She could still remember that Neville came in her dream. To this day she still has huge regrets about that day.

Neville was immediately placed under the Cruciatus curse and had screamed out in pain. He was very strong but he still did not believe in himself and that was his problem.

Harry was a totally different person to her. He was placed longer under that curse than anyone else. That was what David Greengrass had told them. Adults were not as resistant as that he was that day. That was also something that David had told them.

Now she was again walking behind him through the corridors. Together they were on their way to the man with the red eyes. It was Voldemort who they were looking for. Bella did not know why she was so afraid of that man. And Harry, Harry was just searching for him.

While the adult Bellatrix was still holding the hand of Harry the two of them walked through the house. In the distance they saw him standing.

His red eyes flashing with fire when he saw Harry. The hissing sound he made was directed at Bellatrix, It was a sound of hate and loathing.

Bellatrix hung her had when Voldemort made that sound but looked on with surprised when Harry did the same hissing sound back at Voldemort.

Bellatrix could remember how Voldemort Always hissed at her and it always made her more anxious than she already was. But again it was very different with Harry.

He squeezed her hand and began to hiss at Voldemort.

For Bellatrix it sounded as if Harry was full of hatred. She could not understand him, but she knew it was a different language he spoke. With her eyes on Voldemort she saw him grow whiter and whiter, something that somehow amazed her because he was already very pale to begin with.

Voldemort raised his wand and fired off a green beam of light and it went straight towards Harry.

Harry evaded the beam of light and dragged Bella to the ground with him.

The curse went just above their heads and mist them by a inch.

Harry raised his wand and threw up a shield.

Voldemort cast a curse at them.

Bellatrix watched the curse go through his shield. What she did she did not know but there was suddenly a wall between her, Harry and Voldemort. Bellatrix eyes flashed dangerously towards Voldemort. She now knew exactly what the curse was.

Harry saw the wall that was suddenly there slowly fading away.

Bellatrix went straight at Voldemort, and fired curse after curse at him.

Voldemort reflected every spell like it was nothing, but he was still backing up.

Harry looked at how Bellatrix was firing spells at Voldemort at a frantic pace. He clearly heard her screaming.

"You dare and try to kill my little Harry".

Harry could not help it, but he got a warm feeling from inside just looking at Bellatrix.

Suddenly Voldemort screamed "Crucio".

Bellatrix was hit in her stomach. She fell to the ground and screamed out in pain. Her body was now bending in all directions from the pain she was in.

Harry became sick just watching the way Bellatrix was screaming from the pain she was in. It was as though he himself was feeling the pain. With horror he watched Bellatrix lay on the ground screaming and twisting.

Before his eyes she suddenly turned back into the little Bella he knew so well. There on the ground lay his little Bella, the Bella he loved so much. Harry raised his wand and looked at Voldemort. "CRUCIO".

Voldemort looked up at Harry in surprised when he heard Harry say the curse. The curse got him and Voldemort felt the pain welling up inside of him. He did not scream but dropped his wand instead. He sneered something at Harry and in a flash he was gone.

Harry again looked at the ground and there before him was again an adult Bellatrix. Harry ran to her and laid her head against his shoulder.

Bellatrix looked up at him and tugged at his neck. She slowly pulled him to her and kissed him full on the lips.

Harry closed his eyes and it took about five seconds before he reopened them. There in front of him was again his twelve year old Bella. He pulled his lips from her and smiled a little.

Bella looked at him and turned bright red and heavily blushing she turned her head away from him.

Harry, however, had a satisfied grin on his face.

The blonde woman came walking around the corner and stood before them. "You have to go away from here, go to the room and try something. Unfortunately, I myself cannot help you, I just don't know what to do.

Together they walked towards the room with the dirty mattress, Bella now hanging on his arm. She became even more afraid of Voldemort after the curse, but she did not tell Harry about it. She was so pleased with Harry, he had saved her again.

In that room they saw a small house elf standing alone on the mattress.

"And who are you, if I may ask," Harry asked the house elf.

"I is Dobby, sir. I'm here to warn great Harry Potter sir". Dobby become quiet and looked past Harry and right into the eyes of Bella.

Dobby suddenly looked around, he was obviously looking for a hiding place. But there was nowhere he could hide.

Bella looked at the elf and asked him why he was so afraid of her.

"You is Bellatrix, you is bad witch. You are a death eater" Dobby squealed anxiously.

Bella's eyes widened and looked questioningly at the house elf.

Harry looked from the house elf to Bella and back. "Dobby, Bella is no death eater she's my friend just like you're my friend" Harry told Dobby softly.

Dobby was now the one to looked at Bella and back to Harry. "Dobby is a friend of Harry Potter." squealed the elf excited.

"Yes Dobby you are my friend, but only if you are also nice to Bella. Because believe it or not, but Bella is not and has never been a death eater."

Dobby looked between them. He had a hard time because he did not really know what to think. "Dobby comes to warn great Harry Potter sir. Master Potter must not go back to school; it's not safe there for Harry Potter sir." Dobby Squeaks again.

"Why can I not go back to school Dobby, And why is it not save there" Harry asked.

Even before Dobby was able to answer, the blond woman came around the corner.

Dobby was shocked when he saw the blonde woman and immediately wanted to get away from there.

"Dobby stay here" cried the woman to him.

Harry and Bella looked shocked en strait at the woman.

Meanwhile, Bella knew that the blonde woman was her sister. But she could not remember her name. Bella looked at Dobby and saw that he was terrified. She did not know why but she didn't like it. Bella went over to the house elf and stood in front of it in a protective way.

Harry stood by the wall and saw what Bella was doing. He also wanted to protect the house elf. But when he saw Bella doing it, he changed his mind. Perhaps it was better for Bella to protect Dobby than him.

The blonde woman looked irritated at Bella but then sighed deeply. As she rubbed her fingers over the bridge of her nose she said. "Dobby, Harry and Bella have to go to school. Will you please be there to protect them? Bella is not a death eater just like I'm not a death eater. Now bring them back and protect them for me".

"Yes Mistress Malfoy."

Before Harry could say anything he and Bella were taken away from the dream world. When they opened their eyes they were lying together on Bella's bed.

Minerva and Arabella immediately ran towards them.

Dobby had appeared between them. He was a bit shy and did not really know what to do. He looked quizzically at Bella and Harry.

Bella reached for his little hand and introduced him to Arabella and Minerva.

This is Dobby and he is here to help us.

Harry wanted to say something but Dobby squealed. "Master Potter you should not go back to school, but I know you will. Dobby will keep you and miss Bellatrix safe. This Dobby has promised mistress Malfoy. Dobby is good elf." And with a plop Dobby vanished into thin air.

Harry and Bella told them what had happened and what they had seen. They also told them about the blonde woman, but they were not really clear about who she was.

Minerva thought hard for a moment and then came up with a solution. But they would have to wait until the morning for it.

Now they first had to go back to sleep. Harry was again allowed to remain with Bella.

Something that Bella was really happy about.

*#*

It was late in the morning when they came out of bed. Harry was the last to walk into the kitchen. Even before he was inside, he was taken in a hug by a young woman with purple hair. "Hi mipafora" Harry said with a muffled voice from out of her shoulder.

"Do not call me Nymphadora" Tonks said. "My name is Tonks" And she hugged him even closer.

Harry gift the hand of Andromeda a kiss and welcomed her to his home.

Minerva said she had a suspicion about who the blonde woman was, and asked Bella if they were allowed to see the memory of the night before.

Bella nodded yes. She did not know if it would help her, but she was more than a little sick of being in those nightmares. Every Time she woke up with more pain than she had that day before. And you never know, maybe they knew something she and Harry didn't know.

Before they went into the memory, the first thing that Harry and Bella did was proudly showing the castle to Tonks and Andromeda.

Tonks was over the moon When She saw the dueling room. She explained That She was now in the training centre for the Auror department, But she would prefer to do more training on her own.

Harry immediately offered her to come to the Potter castle whenever she wanted to practice. And if she did, she could also teach him and Bella a thing or two.

Tonks was now jumping for joy. She kissed Harry and Bella on their cheeks and ran to her mother to tell her what Harry had said.

Harry was pleased with the opportunity to learn more magic. Bogrod had told him: that he could do magic in and around his castle as much as he wanted. The wards around the castle were so good that nobody could see that he was doing it. He was even invisible for the ministry.

After tea they all went to the pensive to look at the Memory from the night before.

Andromeda and Tonks were very upset when they heard that Bella was actually Bellatrix Black, and even more when they learn that she was innocent. Andromeda stood up and took Bella into a heartfelt hug. She was crying softly as she put her head in her neck.

"You are my sister Bella. And the Blonde woman in your memory is your other sister. Her name is Narcissa Malfoy" Andromeda said.

Bella's eyes were suddenly very big. "Is my sister, the mother of that arrogant little insect that is called Draco Malfoy?"

They all looked up when Bella suddenly screamed that out.

"Sorry, but Draco does nothing but annoy Harry. It's because of Harry that I'm doing nothing, but if it was up to me he would be cursed into nothingness".

Minerva heard it and wanted to say something.

"Sorry professor, but Bella's right. Last year the only thing I saw was Draco taunting Harry. It all became much worse when he was put in Slytherin. There he had his two gorillas to do his dirty work." Tonks told Minerva when she saw that she wanted to say something to Bella.

Andromeda told that they could not blame Narcissa for the person Draco had become. Everything Draco was doing now was taught to him by his father. Lucius was one of the worst men she had ever met. If she had not fallen for Ted Tonks, then she would be the one to be married to Lucius. Just at the thought of it she shivered a little from revulsion. That was also the reason why she was banned from the black family.

James and Lily had heard it all. James moved closer to the frame and asked for their attention. "It's true what Andromeda just said. When Andromeda had chosen for Ted, she was immediately thrown out of the family. There was no place for a mudblood lover in that family they had told her.

I then promised Sirius that if they wanted they could come to my family. Unfortunately, the war came faster than we thought. I'm therefore very pleased that you brought them to our family son. I'm really proud of you".

Harry blushed slightly at the praise from his father's.

His mother was standing beside his father and looked approvingly at her son.

"Harry do you understand what you did when you took them into our family," Lilly asked.

Harry first nodded yes and then he had to shake no.

"Listen Harry" and Lilly looked at him intently. "Harry, Andromeda and Nymphadora are now your aunt and niece. You could even say that you have made Nymphadora your sister".

Tonks walked over to Harry and looked him straight in the eyes. "Harry, now that I know that I'm your sister I expect a great Christmas present. You're so rich, that I'm thinking a house is good enough".

Harry looked a little bewildered but most of all anxious at Tonks.

Tonks burst out laughing, "I'm just kidding Harry, I can't tell you how happy I'm to hear that we are now a family, I love you little brother" and Tonks immediately hugged Harry again.

Harry just like always froze when he was pulled into a hug, but now that it was Tonks who hug him it was okay. "Tonks" he said sweetly.

Tonks looked at him and nodded.

"Tonks is not my family, but it's our family now" Harry said softly.

Andromeda and Tonks stayed for the rest of the evening, after dinner there would be a humongous house warming party. The house elves had made a wonderful dinner, And Harry and Bella had invited everyone they knew. This would be the party that Harry had promised everyone after the will reading from Lily and James.

*#*

Daphne and Susan were the first to arrive and could hardly believe their eyes. They knew that Harry was rich but not that he was this rich.

Hermione came out of the fire just behind Poppy and Augusta who were next to arrive. Amelia, Isabella and David then followed behind them and were also looking around in amazement.

Astoria was almost the last to arrive and immediately jumped on the back of Harry.

The last one to arrive was Neville.

While Astoria still had Harry in a deep hug, he looked up at Neville. His eyes rolled upwards and he fell down to the ground.

The same thing also happened to Neville. There appeared a lilac colored glow around both of the boys and with a flash it was gone.

Poppy immediately walked up to them.

Daphne and Bella were already beside Harry and Hermione was sitting next to Neville.

Both of the boys woke up a minute or so later and looked very surprised at each other.

Poppy looked at the two boys and nodded. "I think that I know what it is" she said. "It has to do with the mercy ritual, Alice and Lilly have both done it and linked there magic with their blood".

Neville and Harry looked at her uncomprehendingly.

Poppy thought for a bit but then looked at the portrait of Lily and James.

Lilly was waiting to tell what she knew.

Everyone turned and sat down near the painting. Harry and Neville sat in front of it.

"Neville your mother and I have performed a ritual. In this ritual, we have used our own blood. Through your blood that is also yours and Harry's blood. You two are now blood brothers, but most obvious part of this is that you are true brothers in magic".

Neville and Harry looked at each other and were laughing. What it all meant they did not know. They were now brothers and that was all they needed to know.

Harry took Bella and Daphne by the hand and told everyone to follow him for a tour of the castle. The adults smiled and just walked behind them.

They had lost Hermione when they passed the library something they took with a lot of fun. The evening went on until the early hours of the morning.

Lily and James also had a great night, just seeing all their old friends just made them very happy.

A/N: I hope that you have enjoyed this chapter. The next one will be again in two weeks.

Greetings Winmau.
