An Unexpected Hope

Kia's questions were answered when Dumbledore opened the door with a look exactly like her own. Kia broke down in tears, as the old man stood there speechless for a moment looking like a fish and pulled her into a bear hug.

"KIA!" the old man exclaimed shortly. He too had tears streaming down his red face now.

"Papa! I missed you! I had to see you and know what's going on! I couldn't take it!" she cried into his shoulder.

"Shh- it's okay, Kia," her grandfather whispered, "I've missed you too! I'm so glad to see you! This is unbelievable!" The young girl pulled away and wiped her grandfathers tears off his face with her sleeve.

"I'm sorry I interrupted your meeting, but I had to come, Papa," she said as Dumbledore transfigured a huge lounge chair for her. She sat down and pulled a tissue off of his desk to wipe her face.

"Kia, it doesn't matter what kind of meeting I am in, or who I am with, I will always allow you to interrupt," the old man replied with a smile as more tears formed in his eyes. He leaned against her chair and hugged her once more. Someone behind the two cleared their throat. Dumbledore stood up and faced his other guests that he had forgotten were present.

"Everyone," Dumbledore said as he sat in his chair behind his desk with a big grin on his face, "this is my great-great-granddaughter, Kafkina Potter." This time it was Kia who cleared her throat.

"Oh sorry hunny," Dumbledore apologized, "She believes Kafkina is a strange medieval name so she goes by Kia."

"Do you mean the two of you are related?" a man with red flaming hair asked shockingly from his seat beside the girl.

"Yes, Arthur, we are related. Kia, this is Arthur Weasley." Kia shook his hand giving him a smile. "The man who informed me of your presence is Mad-eye Moody and the young lady picking up the broken glass over there is Tonks."

Kia shook hands with Moody as well, but Tonks was too busy. The young lady had unnaturally bright green hair that went all the way down to her knees. Before anyone had a chance to warn her, the young Tonks broke yet another vase.

"I'm so sorry, Dumbledore!" she shrieked again before trying to pick up the newly broken vase. Before Tonks could begin to pick it up, Kia waved her wand hand and immediately the vase was put back together and on the shelf it was located before.

"Well Papa," Kia spoke without noticing that everyone was looking at her with admiration, "I came for answers. About the Dark Lord. I don't want you leaving out any details either. Sirius has been telling me that he doesn't want to scare me so he never tells me anything." Dumbledore's face went crucial and Kia looked around at everyone seeing that they all had a look of misery.

"What did I say?" she asked everyone worriedly.

"Kia, there is something you haven't been informed about yet. If you guys will please excuse us for a moment," the old man asked his guests. They left his office and he sat himself on the arm of his granddaughter's chair. "In June, Sirius Black died in battle," Kia looked at him in shock and terror. "He fought a great fight and died doing what he wanted to die doing, you must understand this Kia," Kia then got to her feet in rage.

"What I understand is that he didn't want to die at all!" Kia yelled at her grandfather. "He was finally getting his life together with me and Harry and you and everyone! He finally had a life of his own and before he could improve it further, HE GETS KILLED!" Tears streamed down her face as she screamed at the top of her lungs. She waved her arms around while screaming which cause many things to fly in all sorts of directions. When she calmed down she stopped and looked at the mess she made before her taking a deep breath and putting everything back in order with a gesture of her hand.

"He did nothing to deserve this, Papa," she whispered. "How did he die? And who killed him?"

"He was in a intense duel with Bella Lestrange, and she hit him with a spell knocking him in through the veil that hangs at the Department of Mysteries," Albus said full of grief and sorrow at the memory.

"That is only a portal!" she screamed as loud as she could and filled with anger. The vase she fixed shattered into little pieces and flew in all directions barely missing Dumbledore's beard.

"I'm sorry I got upset, Papa." Kia wiped the tears from her eyes once more as she calmed down once again. This girl did not get angry very often as it was very hard to, but when she did, it was really not safe to be around her.

"I understand completely," Dumbledore assured. "We all lost someone very close to us. The two of you loved each other very deeply, I'm sure this is going to be very difficult for you to handle." He wrapped his arms around Kia as she started to sob again.

"Papa, that's not why I'm so upset," she mumbled in the old man's shoulder. "I stopped loving him and when I did, I find out he has been killed! We were away from each other for too long, Papa, but I stayed true to him and him alone."

"I understand, Kia. Harry is taking this terrible too," he said as he got up and opened the office door to let the others in. Kia looked up at the mention of her unknown brother's name.

"Would you like us to go retrieve the boy now, Albus?" Mad-eye asked. The three other guests, who were waiting outside, overheard every last word the two relatives discussed so they all avoided Kia's eye.

"I believe it is time. Have you sent a distraction for the relatives?" Dumbledore questioned curiously eyeing Tonks.

"Er, Albus?" Tonks asked in a whisper. "I sort of dropped the letter we were sending them in the wrong mailbox, so I believe it would be quite some time before they actually need to head out. It is not my fault though! Those Muggle mail box thingy's are so confusing!"

"I'll go get him...who is he?" Kia said while startling everyone.

"We are talking about your brother," Dumbledore said with a smile secretly knowing she would react to that statement. He knew also that Kia has been keeping up with all the reports about her mystery brother and his heroic adventures. Sirius told her so many things about him, but she didn't want her boyfriend to know that her brother was also his godson.

"Oh well then I will go get him now if you like," she replied with hope standing up.

"Kia, I know you want to meet your brother, but you need your rest. I assume you know where your rooms are since they have not changed yet," Dumbledore said. Kia crossed her arms and sat down with a pout.

"Only if you tell me with all honesty I get to meet my brother soon!" she replied selfishly with an innocent smile.

"Of course! You will be seeing him tomorrow, but more then likely the day after," Dumbledore replied to her. He turned his attention back to the Order members.

"Now you three, make something up along the way, I just need him out of there. Severus told me that Death Eaters are planning at attack on the house itself." Dumbledore turned to Kia and embraced her.

"I'm so glad you are here my darling," he whispered in her ear.

"I am too, Papa," Kia replied. "I am too."

Dumbledore released her and dug around in one of his desk drawers. He pulled out a vial of a blue potion and handed it to Kia.

"It is a very effective dr..." he started.

"Dreamless sleeping draught. I know, Papa, and thank you," she said as she drank it while pulling a foul face. "But you do remember that potions have no effect on me right?"

"That is why I gave you the one I made you the day we seen each other. Now off to bed you go," he said as he turned his attention back to the Order once again.

"Goodnight, grandpa. It was nice meeting the all of you!" she said to her Papa's guests. "Wake me in the morning will you, Papa?" Kia asked while heading to a small door barely noticeable leading into her former bedroom followed by her two dogs.

"Of course I will, sweetheart. I'll wake you up before breakfast," she heard him say as she closed her door and got ready for bed.

"So who exactly is that girl?" Mr. Weasley asked with a lot of curiosity. "Her name, Kafkina, it sounds really familiar, but I don't remember meeting her and I know I wont forget if I met her."

"Nor me," Moody added.

"Well she was seeing Sirius for a very long time," Dumbledore began explaining, "almost two years if I'm not mistaken. They met when he was on the run. He could be the only one you have heard word about her from. Or Mr. Kingsley, I knew they were seeing each other for quite some time before Sirius came into the picture. She was kept strictly hidden all her life and came here when her schooling was over. The only ones who knew of her presence here was Minerva and Professor Flitwick. But enough about her, we have another who we must collect. If you all would be so kind as to figure a way to get Harry, I would be very grateful."

"Wait just a minute old man!" Moody growled in a dangerous voice. Dumbledore leaned against his desk surprised at the man's sudden change. Moody seen the unexpected alter in Dumbledore and laughed a quiet low bawl.

"When did you start calling McGonagall, Minerva?" he asked as the old man relaxed and smiled to himself.

"Lets just wing it guys," Tonks said trying to distract the others from Dumbledore's embarrassment. "Thank you, Albus, you are always great help and we will be here early enough for lunch tomorrow!"

After everyone had left, Albus opened his bedroom door and walked inside. When he closed his door he leaned against it and closed his eyes. Harry is coming here soon. He will meet his sister. He will find out he has a great-great-grandfather. He will want to know why he had to be separate from Kia. He will want to know so much I can't explain to him!!! He will learn too much too soon for someone his age. This is not going to go too well... Dumbledore thought before heading to sleep frustrated.

Kia had a hard time sleeping. She was going to meet her brother in the next 24 hours. She has always heard of him and saw his picture everywhere she looked, but never actually met the boy. Around 2am Kia finally gave up on sleeping and went out of her bedroom leaving her dogs. Her grandfather wasn't in sight so she figured he must have already gone to bed.

She was walking through the hallway towards the Quidditch pitch when she noticed the most ugliest looking cat she had ever seen staring at her from a classroom door.

"Here kitty kitty kitty. Come here now cat, I wont hurt you," Kia spoke as she bent over to pet the cat.

"HEY!" a voice howled from behind her. "STAY AWAY FROM HER!" She turned her head to look at a shabby looking man staring at her furiously.

She just simply smiled and said, "I'm so sorry sir, but what good is being alive when there is no one to have love you in this sick world?" She stood up and stuck her hand out to him, "I'm Kia Potter."

"Another Potter aye?" the grungy man said without shaking Kia's hand and picking up the ugly cat. "Well you better have your eye out! If you are anything like the other one, I know we will be seeing more of each other!"

"Well actually, you see sir, if the other Potter is a kid named Harry," The man flinched but Kia continued with an evil grin on her face, "he is my twin brother. I haven't met him before, but Papa said that he will be arriving here soon so he can stay with us," Kia dropped her hand to her side. She was not about to let this stranger get the better of her.

"In that case, I know I'll be seeing more of you!" he said irately. "TWINS! Just my luck! POTTER!!! HE HAS A TWIN!" The man gave a deep sigh. "That's quite alright though, I haven't caught him all the times he's been wandering about, but I made a promise I will not let him get away with that any more! Mr. Snape has informed me he has been getting away with an Invisibility Cloak! Well not this time because I will talk to the Headmaster about banning those blasted things!"

"So are you one of the caretakers here sir?" she said frowning. She never heard of her brother to be a troublemaker...she always thought of him as the total opposite. He also had an Invisibility Cloak? She wondered for a minute where he could have received it since he was living with Muggles when the tattered man interrupted her thoughts.

"I am the one and only Hogwarts caretaker!" the man stated offensively.

"Well, you see sir, I'm new here so I don't know many people," she flashed the caretaker her famous innocent smile before continuing. "The only person I know here is my Papa Albus." The man gasped and held his chest with his right hand.

"So sorry dear! I never knew you were related to Professor Dumbledore! Do forgive me!" He straitened up and held his hand out. "I'm Argus Filch. You can call me Filch all the students do anyways. This cat here is Mrs. Norris, if you are out past curfew or doing something you shouldn't, you will absolutely see one of us!"

"Well, Argus, I think I'll just call you by your first name. That's why it was given to you was it not?" Kia said as she shook Filch's hand. "I was on my way to the Quidditch Pitch. Do you know where I can find a broom to fly? I forgot mine in my quarters."

"Certainty! I'll show you where the school brooms are, just follow me," Filch said as he walked through a passageway in the wall that only he probably knew about. Once they got out to the Quidditch yard, Filch showed Kia where the brooms were kept.

"Thank you, Argus. For all of your help," Kia said before climbing on a Clean Sweep and flying away.

"Those Potters," he spoke to his cat, "there is more to them then I can ever figure out Mrs. Norris. This one is different though, she's exactly like old Albus. She's going to make a huge difference here." He then turned in the direction of the castle and disappeared.

Kia was on the Quidditch team for her school, which played against the other smaller schools. She played all positions as well, but she was especially good at the Chaser position. She flew what seemed like hours and was having the time of her life. She hovered next to one of the goal post and hopped on the top of it. She sat herself down and examined the sky. It was so clear and the full moon lit up the entire sky so well that she was able to identify all the constellations and what their signs meant. She smiled to herself as she thought about how peaceful it was up there. After awhile she summoned her broom that had dropped to the ground after she sat herself on one of the posts and flew around again. After awhile she had enough of the outdoor weather.

She was really good at flying and she could do anything on a broom perfectly and without any challenge, but it wasn't too fun when she was playing in the cold night weather. She flew back down to the ground and returned the broom to where she got it and started heading back to the castle.

She made her way to the part of the wall her and Filch came out thinking the wall was going to move for her to get in, but it didn't. If she had not departed out of this wall earlier, she would never have guessed that there was a secret way in the castle through there. After about 5 minutes of trying to get through and hitting her face on the wall, she gave up and went to the front doors mumbling a bunch of curses under her breath.

Kia made her way to the gargoyle statue and back to her bedroom. She undressed and crawled into bed taken over by sleep as the potion finally started taking affect. It takes quite awhile for potions to work for her, if they ever do work.

Harry woke the next morning at 7am. Before he got out of bed he stretched and thought about the dream he had. It was about Voldemort of course, but this time he had a beautiful girl standing at his side. The Dark Lord looked truly happy with himself and the female. If that wasn't something weird enough to imagine, the young girl was wearing a genuine smile! Someone like her cant be a Death Eater, they aren't allowed to! Harry thought to himself with obscurity as he got up and walked down the hallway to the bathroom. He took a shower and brushed his hair before going down for breakfast.

"Ummm, great breakfast you would've had Potter!" his not-so-oversized cousin said as he walked out of the kitchen with half a piece of bacon in one hand, and in the other, one more bite of a sausage. The two cousins' have been getting along a lot since they both got back from their separate schools. Dudley also lost most of his weight and was just a little bigger then Harry was. Harry has been observing Dudley and from the looks of things, he was sure his cousin had magical abilities.

Harry walked into the kitchen and sat down at the breakfast table in his spot, and in front of him was an empty plate. Dudley would never be gracious when it concerned food.

"Good!" Harry's Aunt Petunia just walked in and stood in the doorway. "You're done eating! Well get your bottom out of here and into the back yard! It needs to be racked, mowed, weeded, and I want my flowers watered by this afternoon or else you won't have lunch! Now get out of here!" she finished while pointing a finger at the kitchen door.

Harry dashed outside and went around the house to the garage to get the rack and some lawn bags.

When he was through, it was nearly lunchtime so he headed for the kitchen door. He opened it with such force, it hit Petunia, who was in the kitchen, and made her fall to the floor.

"Harry Potter!" she shrieked. "What in devil's name do you think you are trying to do? Kill me?"

Vernon came in to see what the mayhem was and seen his wife lying on the floor trying to get up. He grabbed Harry by his shoulders and pulled him to the ground.

"What do you think you were trying to do boy?" Vernon yelled turning purple as he swung his fist, hitting Harry on the side of his head. "You are going to your damn cupboard and not leaving! We gave you too much freedom you deserve!"

Vernon picked Harry up and dragged him to his cupboard. He continuously hit Harry making him lay unconscious in the small cabinet. Harry was strike into the far corner Vernon's fat arm couldn't reach. When Vernon noticed this he slammed and locked the door.

Vernon was striating out the mail in front of the fireplace, which had been fixed the past winter, when Petunia left for the market. The overweighed man turned the fire on and started throwing the junk mail in just like he did with Harry's letters 6 years ago. When he threw the last one in, a face appeared and Vernon jumped back squealing.

"Good afternoon, sir. My name is Bill Weasley," the tall redheaded man said while walking into the home. He stretched out his hand and Vernon was just about to holler at him, but stopped himself when he heard noises behind the stranger.

Vernon looked behind Bill and just then, another body appeared. And another. Then another. People kept emerging out of the fireplace until there were six individuals standing in the living room.

"This is Hermione Granger," Bill said as he started pointing and introducing everyone to the shocked fat man sitting on the living room couch. The bushy haired girl Hermione nodded at the fat man and smiled. "And these are my twin brothers. This one is Fred; the other one over there is George. This one is Ron and the young beautiful girl on the end is my sister Ginny."

Vernon was now red with outrage. "You are those weirdo friends of Potter's aren't you?"

"Kia! Wake up! It's time for breakfast!" Dumbledore said as he walked into Kia's room. "You are going to meet your brother shortly so I highly suggest you take a shower. I can smell you and as an old man I am bad with my sense of smell," he finished sniffing the air half-heartedly with his eyes twinkling.

"Yes papa. I am up! I'll be down for breakfast as soon as I take a shower, so you don't have to deal with my nasty body odor!" Kia said as she got up happily and hugged her grandfather.

"Well I will be downstairs when you are ready. See you in the Great Hall then." With that Dumbledore left Kia to take a shower.

She made her way to her dresser. Her make-up and accessories were spread along it. House elves must have got my things from Moquista's, she thought before heading to the bathroom for a shower.

When she was through, she dressed in her favorite Muggle clothing (a pair of dark blue bellbottom jeans and a silver tank top) and put on her Papa's Hogwarts robes that had a small Hogwarts symbol on the front of it and another one on the back that was a lot larger. After she finished applying her make-up, and fixing her long, black, shimmering hair, she made her way downstairs to the Great Hall for breakfast.

When she entered, she seen her Papa, McGonagall, Flitwick, and a few other professors she haven't yet met. All heads turned and all eyes were locked on this beauty queen when she walked up to the Head Table. She felt her knees go weak when she noticed a very handsome man staring at her. She caught eyes with him and gave a small smile before taking a seat between him and her grandfather nervously. She started eating before she even said "hello."

"Everyone," Albus stood up and faced the other staff members, "this is my great-great-granddaughter Kia Potter. She will be staying with us for further notice."

"Albus are you saying..." the handsome man started before he was interrupted.

"Yes, we will discuss this matter later in the day. But for now, lets eat!" Dumbledore sat back down and started eating. Kia learned she couldn't stop staring at the handsome man. There was something magical about him that made it so she couldn't think strait. He turned and looked at her and gave a nervous smile.

Damn it! she thought, He probably thinks I'm a brain-dead schoolgirl that started a crush! She returned his smile graciously before turning to her grandfather.

"Papa," she said as she got his attention, "everyone here knows me, but I only know Miss Minerva and little old man Filius." Professor Flitwick turned a slight shade of pink from embarrassment. Not because Kia had called him little and old, but because she actually remember who he was.

"Ah yes!" Dumbledore said while putting down his fork. "Lets start with the Head House's shall we? Pomona Sprout is head of Hufflepuff and teaches Herbology, and Slytherin Head House is out working for me on some serious business, his name is Severus Snape and is the Potions Master." He gave her a look that meant something like I'll tell you more about it later.

"Now this is Poppy Pomfrey," he turned his attention back to the staff, "the school nurse. Rubeus Hagrid here is the gamekeeper and Care of Magical Creatures teacher." A giant for a man gave her a warm smile. "This is Rolanda Hooch, she teaches flying lessons, Irma Pince, our librarian. Sinistra here teaches Astronomy, Vector teaches Arithmancy, and our new additions are Marty Morgan, he teaches Muggle Studies, Vince Ulsted teaches Ancient Runes and here we have Remus Lupin who teaches Advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts." Each teacher waved or nodded their head when their name was called. Some of the males, like Remus, gave her a goofy smile and turned slightly pink.

"Well, now that's a handful to remember," Kia said as her grandfather started eating again now out of breath.

"You never forget anything anyways," he finally said as he swallowed his food. "The ministry wants to send Lucius Malfoy to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. He was found not guilty for being a Death Eater and was acting under the Imperius Curse. I assume you know who he is already?"

"Yes Papa," Kia replied wearily. She heard many things about that man and one night she went so far as wished he could have become a squib with all the pride he walks around with being a Pureblood.

"What are you talking about?" McGonagall asked in worry. "I'm not going to sit around while a dark murdering wizard enters our school! Think about Harry, Albus! Malfoy is not going to treat him very well and will most likely send him to You-Know-Who!"

"I am not quite sure about that Minerva," Remus said quietly. "This is the..."

"If you are sticking up for him, then you shouldn't be here either werewolf!" Minerva yelled before Remus finished his sentence. "You are nothing but a dark evil creature and it shows that you are even more evil since you have the nerve to stick up to him!" McGonagall was on her feet yelling at this time.

"HE IS DARK AND DANGEROUS AND I AM NOT GOING TO SIT HERE WHILE HE ENTERS THIS SCHOOL FREELY! I SAT BACK WHEN A WEREWOLF CAME, BUT NOT A MURDERING DEATH EATER!"

"STOP IT THIS INSTANT MINERVA!!!" Kia screamed in a very high-pitched voice while standing up as well. Dumbledore sat back and put his hands behind his head. Kia can talk and it was quite amusing how she handles things so maturely. The teenager really can drill things into people, but she was going up against McGonagall and the professor was the same way.

"You two are acting like children and the only one who is allowed to act so unprofessional is ME!" she said and turned to McGonagall. "How could you? I would have expected so much more from you, Minerva. You are suppose to be a good influence on the pupils of this school are you not? Don't answer!" Kia raised her voice as the elder women tried to speak. "No one said that this Death Eater is actually coming to teach here! And I didn't hear Remus once say that he wanted Lucius here either!" She turned to Remus this time who looked ashamed and stared at his hands.

"Now for you, you really are a werewolf correct?" she asked as sweet and quiet as she could. He looked up at her and they stared eyes locked for a long moment before he nodded.

"Do you take Wolfsbane?" she asked again, not able to take her eyes off his yet again. He nodded once more and looked down at his shoes embarrassed by telling this beautiful girl his most sacred secret. She moved closer to him and leaned towards him so her lips almost touched his ear.

"Your embarrassed and ashamed aren't you?" she asked in a whisper. He nodded again as Kia moved back to her seat.

"Now, Minerva, if I were a werewolf, I wouldn't want the whole world to know," Kia said casually examining her manicured fingernails. "And from what I have witnessed, Remus is not at all dark and evil. I got the impression that he was quite opposite! He seems to be very nice and gently, which I know is not the same as a DARK EVIL CREATURE!" She stopped a moment to caught her breath.

"I agree with not having Lucius teach here and I will do everything in my power to keep him away from here, but I don't agree with you insulting Remus, a fellow staff member, the way you just did!" she sat down dramatically and pulled on Remus' sleeve until he too sat down. The young girl was red in the face from the anger that boiled inside her.

"I'm sorry," Remus whispered to her. She rubbed her hand around his shoulder and gave him a smile before turning her attention to Minerva.

"Professor Dumbledore," she said while looking at her feet, "I'm so sorry for my behavior and judging your statement like I did. I promise it wont happen again. I'm sorry Remus."

"Now now Minerva, no need for this, just sit down and lets all finish our breakfast. All these great interruptions have left me starving," Dumbledore said as he straitened in his seat with an amused smile on his face. McGonagall took her seat as well and Remus accepted her apology.

"Okay Kia!" Dumbledore turned back to his grandchild. "Oh yes! Lucius Malfoy, he is trying to get on the staff here, and in order to stop him I need to find a replacement soon. Who else is missing?" he asked himself while twirling his beard with his index finger. "Sybill Trelawney! She is the Divination teacher. And Argus Filch, he is the..."

"Caretaker. I met him yesterday when I went out to the Quidditch Pitch," Kia interrupted.

"Did he give you a life time of detention?" Remus asked amused, but only half joking.

"No, not at all. He went psycho and started on about how Harry Potter has a twin and how hard it will be to keep two Potters in line," Remus started cracking up when he heard about Harry needing to be kept in line, but got serious again when it hit him that this girl is Harry's twin. He was sure that the Potter's only had one child, he was there when Harry was born. The werewolf shook his head to clear it out and began to listen to Kia once more.

"He threatened me a lot," Kia continued again. "Then I apologized because he got so outraged when I didn't know he was the caretaker. That's when I told him that Papa didn't tell me anything of that sort. He nearly had a heart attack when he heard me call Papa...well, Papa." Dumbledore smiled down at her.

"Then of course there's the ghosts!" Dumbledore continued as if he didn't have any interruptions throughout breakfast. "The House Ghosts are Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington for Gryffindor, Fat Friar for Hufflepuff, Bloody Baron for Slytherin, and Miss Malice Makina who never comes out of hiding in the Ravenclaw halls. There are also so many more, but too many to name you see?" He gave her a grin and continued with his food.

"Have you ever played Quidditch before Kia?" Rolanda asked her. Kia thought that she had the most amazing eyes; they were a bright shade of yellow, almost like a hawk.

"Yes I have!" she replied very interested in the subject. "I was on my school team at home! It's my favorite game in the world!"

"Oh really? Well I am Madam Hooch. I referee for the Quidditch games and I also teach flying lessons to all the first years. Would you like to get some practice after breakfast is over?" Hooch asked.

"SURE! I went flying yesterday. Argus showed me where the school brooms were and I used one of them, but I also own a Firebolt that is somewhere in my bedroom," Kia spoke excitedly.

"Alright, well I'll see you about 8:30? I'll set out the things for you, but I have a lot of work to do this evening so I wont be joining you for long," Hooch replied standing up and leaving.

"Now everyone!" Dumbledore said standing up. "Kia's twin brother Harry will be arriving here later. I have heard from Severus that Death Eaters were planning on invading his home tomorrow evening, so he will be staying with us until summer vacation is over," he said, then pulled out his wand and sent a spell to Kia. She couldn't hear anything, but that didn't bother her. She took a drink of her pumpkin juice before eating again. Remus looked at her curiously and she gave him her innocent smile, which made him look away because of the beat red color of his face.

"Okay," Dumbledore said while scanning all the staff members, "tomorrow is the twins birthday and I want to celebrate by inviting a few people here and having a formal dinner party. So I want all of you to pull out your old dress robes and your dancing shoes! And we are also talking about two 15 year olds, they may be expecting gifts!" Dumbledore finished by removing the spell from Kia.

"Gee thanks Papa!" Kia said to her grandfather before going back to her breakfast.

When she was through, it was almost 9, so she went to her room and retrieved her broom before heading over to the Quidditch Pitch. On her way she passed by the passage she went through with Filch. She stopped and tried walking through it, but failed and hit her body and face against the wall. God damn this castle! It hates me!!! she thought before kicking it and continuing to the front doors rubbing the side of her face. Remus stopped in the Entrance Hall when he seen Kia trying to walk through a wall. That girl is amazing, he thought as she passed by him and departed through the front doors. He then continued on to the Headmasters office to talk about her and Harry Potter.

When Kia arrived on the Pitch, it was already 9:30 and Madam Hooch was out of sight. There was a black case in the center so she hopped on her broom and flew over towards it. She landed on the other side of the trunk and noticed it had a note on it. She picked it up and read it.

Kia,

Sorry I couldn't wait for you. We are getting a new order of brooms in and I need to pick them up in Diagon Alley. Inside the box are all the Quidditch balls you can practice with. I hope you will be on a house team if you stay here. Gryffindor needs two new beaters and two chasers, Ravenclaw needs two new Chasers and a Beater, Hufflepuff needs a new Seeker and two Beaters, and Slytherin needs a new Chaser and Beater. Have fun!

Hooch

Kia opened the box and took out the Bludgers before hopping on her Firebolt with a club in her hand. She flew high on the Pitch and hit the Bludgers one after the other. She knew that her brother was in Gryffindor and she hoped to be in that house, but she didn't have any other way to practice so she continued practicing with the Bludgers.

"Weirdo's?" Bill asked confusingly to Vernon. "Yes, we are friends of Harry's and he isn't allowed to come to our house, so we are here coming to him."

"Harry's family doesn't like him remember?" Ginny whispered loudly.

Vernon rushed to the cupboard without noticing that all the guests followed behind him. He opened the cupboard door and pulled Harry out and threw him against the hallway wall.

"Wake up you damn boy!" Vernon shouted while shaking Harry by the neck of his shirt. "Your freak friends are here and I want them out! WAKE UP!" Harry started to stir and slowly opened his eyes. He looked around him and seen all his Hogwarts friends. He dropped his head in embarrassment because of the position he was in right now. They all thought he was the Golden Boy. The one who defeated Lord Voldemort, and now they have witnessed Harry Potter Behind the Scenes.

"Who said you can have freaks over?" Vernon exploded.

"Expelliarmus!" Three of the same spell hit Vernon in the chest at the same time. Bill sent one of them, but everyone turned around to see who sent the others. In the doorway stood no other then Mad-Eye and Tonks. Tonks ran over to Harry while Moody went around towards Vernon and aimlessly poked him with his peg leg.

"Tonks," Harry mumbled, "why are you here? I thought you had work to do?"

"Shhh, Harry," she hushed quietly. "It's okay; I'm here to take you back to Hogwarts. Dumbledore has a surprise for you."

"We need to get Harry back to Hogwarts. Death Eaters are paying him a visit tomorrow," Moody said quickly as he moved on to Vernon's head.

"Dudley..." Harry mumbled.

"What was that Harry?" Moody said as he rushed over to the weak boy.

"My cousin Dudley. We need to take him. He is a wizard; he just doesn't know it yet. I just found out recently as well. I can't leave him behind, we have been getting along lately," he said as Bill helped him up.

"We will take him along with us as well then, but we need to get going. I'm sorry to ruin your party you guys," Moody said to the Weasleys.

"Where is your cousin Harry?" Tonks asked.

"He's upstairs I think. He usually takes his naps about this time of day."

"We will get him, right boys?" Ginny asked as she looked at the twins with a grin.

"Yup, be right back with a poking stick!" George said. The three of them started walking up the stairs.

"No way!" Fred argued. "I say we come back with a donkey!"

"A fat ass!" the three of them said in unison and walked out of sight.

"Potter!" Vernon grumbled as he woke up and got to his feet. He wobbled over to Harry and put his hands over his throat. Harry kicked Vernon in the groin by accident making the fat man let go of his grip.

"Congealos!" Moody yelled while pointing his wand at the fat man. Vernon stood frozen over Harry. Luckily his hands weren't on his neck anymore or else he would be stuck in his grasp.

"When would he learn not to touch you while your freak friend's are here? Damn Muggle!" Bill said. Just then the twin's came down closely followed by Ginny who was carrying a minimized live donkey in a clear can with holes.

"Look! A jackass in a can!" Ginny said lifting the donkey up for everyone to see. "He wouldn't cooperate with "freaks" so we made it so he had no choice."

She tossed the can to Tonks. "You might want to take him with you."

"We should be going. We were planning on visiting awhile, but I guess that wouldn't be very safe," Bill said as he turned to the others. "Now come on, Mum would be upset if Harry left and we didn't come home."

"I'll get your trunk Harry," Tonks said. "Umm, now where is it?"

"Uncle Vernon locked it in that closet there." He pointed to a small coat closet near the door. "Hedwig is upstairs, I need to go get her." He tried standing up but lost control of his legs and fell over. Ginny caught him just in time and held him up strait.

"No, Harry, I'll get her. I'll be right back," Moody said as he dashed upstairs.

"You guys should get going if Death Eaters are coming," Harry said as he looked up at all of them. Just then eight owls flew in the opened door and each of the Weasley's plus Hermione and Tonks got a letter, the extra flew upstairs where Moody disappeared. They all looked at the Hogwarts seal that was burned onto it.

"I already got my letter," Ron and Ginny said in unison nervously. Ginny let go of Harry and opened her letter.

"Yea, and I don't go there anymore," Bill said as he tore open his own. He smiled down at the letter and placed it in his robe pocket. Each of them put away their letters and all looked at Harry with a grin, who was leaning against the wall powerlessly.

"I knew Dumbledore was planning this, but I didn't know it was so soon!" Hermione exclaimed to everyone except Harry.

"Are you guys going to kill me?" he asked faintly, judging by their smiles, they had to be up to something evil. "Does Dumbledore want me dead?"

"Harry, of course not! But we do need to go, we'll see you soon!" Bill said. They all hugged Harry and helped him sit on the stair to wait for Moody. Before he could ask about the letter they left for the fireplace.

"HARRY! Your damn bird bit me!" Moody yelled while dragging the cage down the stairs. "Just because I woke her up she got nutty!"

"Your fault," Harry mumbled in reply.

"Lets go now. I want to see if we can get there by lunch. Voldemort is coming here tomorrow, but I don't want to take any risk. Come along, Tonks," he said and pulled out a small Portkey. Tonks took the trunk in her hand and placed another on the Portkey.

"Time to rock-and-roll," she said. Harry felt himself spinning all around and when it stopped he fell right into Tonks who caught him.

"Where are we?" he asked weakly as he took in the unfamiliar landscape.

"About a quarter mile away from Hogsmeade. Lets get a move on now," Moody replied as they started walking towards the small town. Tonks levitated Harry's trunk and cage when she figured out she couldn't carry the both of them very far.

"You hungry?" Moody asked as they arrived in Hogsmeade and started for Honeydukes.

"No, I'm too excited to eat!" Harry replied honestly. They walked inside and Harry suddenly changed his mind. He and Tonks both bought lots of candy and afterwards followed Moody to the Shrieking Shack.

"Wanna jump the fence?" Moody asked pulling out his wand. Before Harry could answer, he was being lifted up in the air and over the fence along with all of his things.

"Now that is what jumping fences are all about!" Tonks said before she started floating over the fence herself. When Moody landed, Harry hit him in the back of his only knee with his broom laughing and running up to the doors.

He stopped suddenly, turning very white. The other two came up behind him and Tonks put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Being here brought back a lot of bad memories for him so they hurried over to the passageway leading to Hogwarts.

"You know, last time I was here, Sirius asked me if I could stay with him. I really wish I could have. I made a promise that I would get Wormtail so he could have cleaned his name off and then the Daily Prophet announced that he was one of the Death Eaters who died that day at the Ministry," Harry said as they walked, looking at his hands.

"I know, Harry. But I don't want you looking for trouble just because Wormtail is running around like a free man. You said it yourself he isn't worth it, Sirius told me much about you. He thought very fondly of you and would give anything so that he would know you would be happy. I know I'm known to be crazy, but that veil at the Ministry is only an unfinished portal. He can come back, but it is entirely up to him," Moody said looking at him with concern. He seen the broom in Harry's hand and grabbed it.

"Wanna see a cool trick?" he asked with a smirk. Harry was taking all that Moody said in, that he didn't notice what Moody had just done.

"NO! Sirius got that for me and I'm not going to let you do anything to it!" Harry shouted, jumping up and down while he tried to get his broom back.

"I wont do anything to it! Just watch!" he said before performing a spell on it. It slowly shrunk and then when it started to grow back, another one was forming from the other end of it and dropped in Moody's other hand.

"Now wasn't that cool?" he asked with a smirk. They both got on a broom after Tonks shrunk all Harry's stuff and put it inside all her pockets. She pulled out a small broom out of her robes and resized it. They all rode and laughed together while flying.

They arrived less then a minute later. When they got into the castle Tonks handed Harry all his things.

"OH! I forgot about the jackass...I mean, your cousin," she said as she took the donkey out and transfigured in back into Dudley.

"What have you done with me? Where am I? What do you want?" he yelled at Moody and Tonks.

"Follow me boy, if you don't, you look better as a jackass," Moody replied to him. "Harry, you should put your things away, and the broom in the broom closet on the Pitch. Me and Tonks are taking the ass to Dumbledore."

"Alright, good luck, Dudley. You are meeting Dumbledore, he knows everything so don't try to fool him," he said as he rode off to the Gryffindor tower. After he put his things away he flew down to the Quidditch Pitch. When he got there he landed on the benches as he watched a girl hit Bludgers over and over again.

"Hey! Wanna practice?" she yelled to him. He got on his broom and flew over to her. When he got a good look at her, he almost fell off his broom from shock. That's her! Who is she and why was she in my dream? he thought with suspicion. He got closer and noticed she was thinking something similar.

"Hi, I'm Harry Potter, what is your name?" he asked her hesitantly.

"K-K...umm, I need to go see my grandfather!" she said quickly as she flew over to the stands. Just as she landed, Dumbledore came running onto the Pitch with Remus Lupin, Tonks and Moody. He flew over to them and landed next to Albus.

"Dumbledore, I'm sorry, I just wanted to get some air before I made it up to your office," Harry said quickly. "Remus! Why are you here?" they embraced for a moment.

"I am teaching Advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts, Harry," Remus said. "It is a new class the Ministry thought we needed since they figured out Voldemort returned, but we are still having normal DADA classes."

"So you met Kia I see," Dumbledore pointed to the beautiful girl running towards them.

"Is that her name?" Harry asked. "Well when she was in the air, she invited me to practice with her, but when I got into distance with her, she said she had to go see her grandfather. Then she just took off," he said confusingly looking at her coming towards them.

"Papa! Grandpa! H-H-He's here...He's here. H-H-Harry is here!!!" she said not noticing that Harry had landed and was there with them.

"Yes so it seems. Kia, say hello to Harry Potter," Albus said and moved over so that the twins were face-to-face.

"Hi, I'm Harry. Like I said before you ran away," he said while sticking out his hand.

"For your information, young boy, I flew away!" she said defensively shaking his hand.

"Young boy?" Harry exclaimed. "I can bet you that you are younger then me!" Kia started giggling.

"You are actually younger then me by like 3 minutes so don't start with me buster!" she said. She stepped forward towards him and poked a finger in his chest.

"OW, woman! Who do you think you are?" Harry said as he grabbed his chest.

"Woman! Woman?" she said outraged. "Rule number one as your sister: you will not EVER call me WOMAN!"

"Well I have rules too...wait, what do you mean 'sister'?" he asked confused. Is that some sort of slang this girl was using? It did sound like she had an American accent, but not to thick.

"Umm, Kia here...well...umm...you see..." Dumbledore tried starting.

"My name is Kia Potter. My parent's names are James Potter and Lily Evans. The only family I have left is my great-great-grandfather Albus Dumbledore and well...you, my twin brother, Harry Potter," Kia said sweetly. Harry fell backwards down the stands and landed on his back in the grass.

"That went well, didn't it, Papa?" Kia said contemptuously as she stared at the brothers still form.
