Harry Potter and The Lost Aunt

Chapter 4

"Albus."

"Dumbledore," Mrs. Weasley said.

"Molly, what's the problem?" he asked quickly.

"She wants to take Harry to live with her," Mrs. Weasley said pointing at Sam.

"Sam, what did you say?" Dumbledore asked.

"I said 'Since Bill and Charlie are coming tomorrow and there won't be a lot of room to move, why doesn't Harry stay with me', then she started to yell," Sam said calmly.

"Sam, if you're going to stick around you might need this," Snape said then threw a small bag at her.

"My tent, where did you find this?" Sam said as she caught it.

"James's room at the manor," Snape said watching his little sister closely.

"He always said he left it somewhere you could find it; all you had to do is look," came a voice that sounded like Remus Lupin.

"Romulus, long time no see," Sam said.

"Don't change the subject, Butterfly."

"I'm not," Sam said rudely.

"Yes, you are."

"Shut up Remy. I don't need both of you to start this," Sam said.

"Remus, stay out of it, this is our fight," Snape said.

"Great, now both Wolf and Ferret are after me. I'll be outside putting up the tent," Sam said and walked out the back door.

"Wolf, Harry, Severus go and help her," Dumbledore said and the Weasleys moved out of the way to let them at the back door. When they stepped out the door, she was sitting in front of the tent (which was already setup) holding a crumbled letter in her hands.

"What's wrong?" Snape said not caring who heard him or how loud he was.

"I've got to go. I'll be back by dawn," Sam said and disappeared.

"Where's Sam?" Mrs. Weasley said from the back door.

"She said she had to go," Romulus replied as he stared at the spot were Sam had been sitting.

"Why did she leave?"

"She didn't say," Snape replied.

"When is she coming back?" Mrs. Weasley asked looking at an owl sitting on top of the tent.

"Don't know," Harry said.

"Well, what do the three of you know?" this came from Remus who was now standing behind Mrs. Weasley.

"Nothing," they said in unison and started to laugh.

"When the three of you can stand up straight come on in and eat lunch is ready," Mrs. Weasley said with a smile on her face and walked back inside leaving her children to stare at the laughing Snape. After twenty minutes, their laugher turned in to giggles.

"Are you going to eat?" came a voice from the door. They looked up and saw it was Ginny.

"No, thank you, Miss Weasley. We're not hungry," Snape answered for them all. Ginny nodded and went back inside.

Chapter 5

"You ok, Harry," asked Snape.

"Fine, just cloud watching," Harry replied and let his thoughts drift. Without realizing it, he'd fallen asleep and Snape carried him up to Ron's room again. When he woke up, he knew it must be late because the sun had gone down and Ron was in bed and snoring.

"Harry put on your glasses and move," came a voice from the bedroom doorway. Harry did as he was told and saw his aunt walk into the room and place a limp figure on the bed he had just left. He watched as Mrs. Weasley turned on the light and woke up Ron.

"Ron, Ron up," Mrs. Weasley said as she shock him awake.

"Mum? What's wrong?" Ron said sleepily.

"Go down to Fred and George's room and go back to sleep," his mother replied.

"Ron, please do as your mother asks I'll explain everything in the morning," Sam said before Ron could argue.

"Ok, but it better be good," Ron said as he walked out the door.

"Molly, please tell Crystal and my brothers we are up here," Sam said and Mrs. Weasley nodded and left the room.

"Harry can you please help me?" Sam asked and he came right over and did whatever he was told to do. After washing the blood and the mud off his face and hair, Harry knew that it was none other than...

"Draco Malfoy! What the..." came from the door.

"Doesn't matter he hurt that matter," Sam said interrupting Remus.

"Don't worry Sam we'll help him," Snape said before the twins could say anything. Remus and Romulus gave him the same dirty look, but went to work to heal Malfoy. Just before dawn, Harry woke up the second time that night by someone saying 'Potter'. He looked over the foot of Ron's bed where he had fallen asleep to see that Malfoy was awake and looking at him with a grin.

"Final," Harry said as he got out of bed and got a glass of water of the table, walked over to Malfoy and made him drink.

"Thank you," Malfoy said in a whisper.

"Your welcome," Harry replied.

"Where is here?" Malfoy said looking around.

"Ron's room at the Burrow," Harry said with a smile.

"That explains the orange ," Malfoy said

"How do you feel?" Harry said softly.

"Better then I did," was all he got for a reply. Then Harry ran his fingers over Malfoy's forehead.

"What are you doing?" came from Malfoy.

"A couple of hours ago you had a nice deep cut on your forehead. I was just making sure it had healed," Harry said as he sat down at the foot of Malfoy's bed and looked out the window. After awhile Romulus started to move,

"What time is it?" he asked.

"Five-thirty, quarter-to-six," Malfoy replied and waited for a shocked voice to reply.

"You're awake," Romulus said suddenly and jumped out of his chair making Harry and Malfoy laugh loudly which woke up Snape and Remus.

"Where's Aunt Crys?" Malfoy asked.

"Don't tell me she went after his father?" Snape said to the twins.

"I said Aunt Crys not Mum," said Malfoy giving him a nasty look. Then they heard Mrs. Weasley coming up the stairs stopping now and then to knock on someones door.

"Good, Harry, you're awake, get dressed and come down and eat something," Mrs. Weasley said not even looking in Malfoy's direction.

"I'm not..." Harry began.

"Harry, don't give me that. You didn't eat anything yesterday but you're going to now," Mrs. Weasley said and walked out the door.

"What'd I miss?" Sam said she sat up next to Malfoy on the floor.

"Don't ask; just get out so we can get dressed," he said pointing at Harry and himself. She shrugged, stood up and left with Snape, Romulus and Remus in tow, but before Remus could close the door Harry and Malfoy heard Mrs. Weasley yell, "Fred, George, Ron, Ginny get up now!"

"Glad I'm not them," Malfoy said trying not to laugh or groan as he sat up.

"You and me both. Here put these on," Harry said as he dug into his trunk and handed Malfoy some clothes to wear, "I know there not the best..."

"There fine, we'd better hurry," Malfoy said as he put on the clothes Harry gave him. Harry nodded and did the same. When they both were dressed, they went down stairs. When they entered the kitchen, the adults were at the table drinking something hot.

"Good morning, Harry," Mr. Weasley said cheerfully.

"Good morning, sir," Harry said.

"Good morning, Draco," Mr. Weasley said.

"What's good about it?" Malfoy said as he sat down on Sam's left side and Harry on her right.

Chapter 6

"What are you doing here Malfoy?" Ron said spotting Malfoy from the door.

"Enjoying a nice conversation with people who aren't trying to kill me, for a change," Malfoy said the last under his breath.

"Ron, shut it," Harry said before Ron could say anything else.

"Siding with him, now," Ron said.

"No but I do understand why he's here," Harry replied.

"Enough of this Ron, Fred, George, Ginny sit down and eat. Here, Harry have some pancakes," Mrs. Weasley said.

"Problem, Harry?" Malfoy said when Harry stared at the food Mrs. Weasley had put on his plate.

"No," Harry said turning green.

"Yeah, right. Give me this," Malfoy said as he took Remus' cup of tea, " and this," he said.

"Stay out of my pocket," Sam said as Malfoy pulled a small vial out of her pocket and poured the contents into the tea.

"Drink this," Malfoy said as he handed the cup to Harry.

"What is it?" Harry said as he took the cup.

"Just drink it," Malfoy replied. Harry looked at him and swallowed the tea.

"Better?" Malfoy asked with a smirk.

"Much," Harry replied.

"Good, now eat your breakfast," Malfoy said and dug into his own.

"Harry, Draco I'll need your help to clean out the spare bedroom in the tent," Sam said when breakfast was over.

"OK," Harry said.

"You're joking right? You want us to help you clean out your junk room," Malfoy said and the Weasley children snickered.

"Yes," Sam replied.

"Better question, where are we going to put it all?" Malfoy asked.

"I've no idea. I'll figure that out when we get to it. Right now you are going to help Harry bring his trunk to the tent," Sam said with a smile.

"That I can do. Come on Harry, we'd better go before they come up with something stupid for us to do or to try," Malfoy said and stood up.

"Did you call him Harry?" Fred asked.

"Yes."

"Why?" George asked.

"Well since he and our screwed up family saved my worthless life last night I thought that I'd better be nice," Malfoy said and he and Harry went up stairs to get Harry's trunk, ten minutes later the walked into the tent with Harry's trunk between them.

"What took you so long?' said one of the Lupin twins.

"That's Romulus also known as Wolf," Malfoy said.

"How can you tell?" Harry said with a grin.

"Wolf has light brown hair and Moony has gray streaks in his," Malfoy said returning the grin.

"Oh good, we were just heading upstairs," Sam said from the kitchen door way.

"We?" Harry and Malfoy said in unison.

"I'm showing The Weaselys around. Come on let's go," Sam said and walked thought the door Harry and Malfoy in tow. They walked into living room and u the stairs(which ran up the back wall of the living room) from there down a hallway past seven or eight doors.

Chapter 7

"This is your room Harry," Sam said and opened the door on the right side corner. She moved aside for Malfoy and Harry to get by. The moment he walked into the room Harry knew he was home.

"There are two other rooms like this one," Sam said from the doorway.

"The color scheme at least," Snape said from behind her.

"True. There are two doors in here that lead to the other rooms," Sam said watching Harry.

"To whom do the other rooms belong ?" Harry said staring around the room.

"One is Severus's and the others mine," Sam said sadly.

"So this room was my Dad's," Harry said matter-of-factly.

"Yes," Snape said as Mrs. Weasley shooed her family out of the tent.

"I'm not trying to be mean but why these colors? they look so bad together," Malfoy said.

"We didn't pick the color, Papa did. He said that these colors would remind us of who we are," Snape said.

"And why we stay together," Sam said in a sad voice.

"What color represented who?" Harry asked matching his aunt's sad tone.

"Red is James, blue is Sam, and green is me," Snape said putting his arms around Sam's shoulders from behind.

"Harry?" Malfoy said as he put a hand on Harry's shoulder.

"How long have I been standing here?" Harry asked turning around.

"About a half-hour. Come on. The Weasley's are helping clean out the spare room," Malfoy said softly.

"Crys, Jed you dressed?" Sam said from down the hall.

"Yes," they said in unison. Out of the door closest to Harry and Malfoy came a woman with black hair and gray eyes, and of the door just beyond her came a woman with black hair and black eyes.

"Harry this is Crystal Malfoy, Draco's aunt," Snape said pointing to the woman with gray eyes.

"And this is Jenna Snape, my twin sister, Jed for short," Snape said putting his arm around the other woman.

"Everyone's here, Butterfly," Romulus said.

"Thanks Wolf. Last door on the right," she replied and everyone walked toward the open door.

"OK, Severus is this stuff yours?" Sam said when everyone was in the room behind her.

"No," Snape said looking at the red, blue, and green boxes.

"OK, it's not yours and it's not mine then it is Jimmy's. So it's up to Harry, not me," Sam said turning around to look and her nephew.
