Chapter One: Birthday Surprise!

Harry whistled as he dragged his heavy school trunk down the stairs into the living room of Number Four Privet Drive. His relatives the Dursleys looked up in surprise as he finally managed to bring down his trunk. The time was 6:25; it was time for him to leave.

"What is the meaning of this boy!" Shouted his Uncle Vernon when he finally recovered from the shock. Harry looked down at his watch and back up at his Uncle with a smile.

"Well my dear Uncle I am leaving to go to my friends house for the rest of the summer if you don't mind," Harry replied with a smile. Vernon's face turned bright red and started to look at the fireplace and started to looked over at the front door. Harry laughed and picked up the key that would take him to the Burrow.

"Don't worry I am leaving by Portkey not through the fire and no one is coming for me," Harry reinsured him with a smile, just then his watch beeped and Harry waved goodbye as he felt the familiar tug of the portkey. Then he was gone and the Dursley's looked shocked at were Harry stood only moments before.

Kat smiled as she arrived home to see her two foster parents sitting watching the evening broadcasts. She smiled at them and informed them that Mark was staying for Dinner. They nodded and informed her that Dinner will be ready in a few minutes. And so five minutes later they sat down for dinner, but they were rudely interrupted as a man arrived out of nowhere in their dining room with a dissent pop. Mark and Kat's jaws dropped in surprise while Ashley and David looked at the man in shock.

"Hello Ashley, David it has been awhile hasn't it," the man said with a brilliant smile.

"Albus what a pleasant surprise," David managed to say once he recovered from his shock. Albus Dumbledore smiled warmly at him and the usual twinkle in his eye gave away a feeling that he knew something that they didn't. He then turned to smile at the still shocked Kat and Mark.

"This must be Ms. Potter and her friend Mr. Davis allow me to introduce myself I am Albus Dumbledore Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," Dumbledore said with a gallant bow to them.

"So Albus did something happen to Harry or something?" Ashley asked having finally recovered from her own shock.

"Why Harry is fine and right now he is safe and sound at his friends house," Dumbledore replied with a smile as he pulled out a couple pieces of parchment that looked like it had been copied from a book.

"David read this and tell what you think," Dumbledore asked as he handed David the parchment in question. After a brief few seconds of silence David looked back up at Dumbledore with confusion written all over his face.

"I don't get it Albus," David informed him with a frown handing it to his wife beside him who was better solving riddles like that then him. After another few seconds of silence a gasp was heard from Ashley as she finished reading the Twin Phoenix prophecy.

"Does this mean what I think it means Albus?" Ashley asked in a shocked tone looking over her adopted daughter in surprise.

"Yes is does Ashley I always knew that you were the brightest of the Ravenclaw House," Dumbledore said with a smile and a mad twinkle in his other eye. Ashley blush at his remark while David just chuckled lightly.

"Anyways Albus why don't you explain this prophecy to us non-Ravenclaws in the room," David said with a smile earning a soft slap from his wife.

"Allow me to David, it means that the only way that Voldemort can be killed is by the combined power of a set of twins, but it can't be any twins these two have to be opposite Gender, this connection or bond between the twins is sometimes called the Twin Phoenix for some reason, also there is the other prophecy that tells us that Harry has to kill Voldemort or get killed in return. So guess what set of twins is the Twin Phoenix Prophecy talking about," Ashley finished with a smile pleased that she figured it out like a true Ravenclaw. Dumbledore smiled pleased that she figured it out and so quickly while it took him a couple of hours to figure it out.

"You don't mean Kat and Harry do you?" David asked shocked looking at the girl in question who throughout this exchange felt like she was watching a very good match of golf, but not understanding the rules, while her boyfriend still had not picked up his jaw from the floor.

"Yes that is correct Kat needs to be at Harry's side in able for him to kill Voldemort," Dumbledore said with a frown having past the excitement of translating the Prophecy. David and Ashley also looked grim at the thought of Kat facing off with the Dark Lord himself.

"That means that we have to move to England doesn't it?" Kat broke the silence with her question as David and Ashley looked at each other in shock finally coming around to that.

"Yes my dear that is correct," Dumbledore replied with a smile as his twinkle came back into his eye.

"But Albus how do we explain Kat's disappearance till now?" David asked with a frown knowing that it could be blow all the in the open if everybody knew what happened. But Dumbledore just smiled with a chuckle as he finally sat down at the dinner table, which still had the Xavier's dinner on it.

"I came up with a cover story before I came here," he informed them with a smile as he helped himself to some of the food. He stopped when David and Ashley leaned forward in suspense, so Dumbledore cleared his throat and looked at them.

"Well when James and Lilly had their twins they heard about Ashley Brooks Lilly's best friend had a problem since her and her husband David Xavier couldn't have any children and being good friends that they were, James and Lilly handed over their daughter Katharine over to them for adoption. So when word came to the adopted parents of little Katharine Potter that Lord Voldemort murdered the Potters, they went into hiding in the US to hide their adopted daughter from Lord Voldemort eyes but having hid themselves so well they didn't know about Voldemort's fall and so when the young Ms. Potter was about the age of ten the Xaviers started to secretly teach her all about Magic and such. Meanwhile their old teacher and friend to the Potters Albus Dumbledore having heard of a rumor about a second Potter Child went searching and so finally over five years of searching he found them and informed them of what was going on in the Wizarding world. Also them informed them about Harry's godfather's death and how grief-stricken he was, also that he need another figure in his life to bring him out of the funk he was in. So good old Dumbledore convinced the Xavier's to come back to England to help fight Voldemort and he also convinced David Xavier to fill the post as Defense against the Dark Arts Instructor at Hogwarts to help teach the students more about DADA since he was one of the best DADA students that Hogwarts have ever since, also he promised to enroll the young Ms. Potter as Sixth Year Student at Hogwarts," he finished with a smile and mirthful twinkle in his eye. Ashley and David looked at each other in surprise for the story was half right, since the two of them could not have any children because of a magical disease that inflicted Ashley early in her Schooling that left her infertile. They smiled and nodded to Dumbledore.

"I like it but what about that last part about me being the DADA Professor?" David asked in shock. Dumbledore chuckled at that last part and started to finish his serving of the food.

"So when do you we leave Albus?" Ashley asked greatly amused about her husband being the new DADA professor. Granted he was one of the best DADA students that Hogwarts had ever seen.

"Kat and myself are leaving in half in hour so that leaves her to eat and get a small bag ready, while you two get ready for the move to England," Albus informed them with a smile. Kat nodded and quickly finished her dinner and kissed Mark on the cheek before dashing upstairs to pack. A half- hour later both Albus and Kat disappeared from the Xavier household on their way to Hogwarts via a old battery or portkey. After this both Ashley and David started to race around the house getting ready for a trip, also they called some of their friends to help packing up there house. Two of them were Mark's parents who suggested that Mark go with them to keep Kat company for awhile. This pleased Mark greatly and ran back to his house to pack, also he called his work informing them that he was taking a vacation. A couple days later the Xaviers and Mark left for England via Muggle transportation in other words by plane and train to meet up with Kat who was getting ready for her birthday.

Harry smiled as his eyes darted around the padlock that the Weaselys used for Quidditch searching for the golden snitch. Harry had bought them a Quidditch ball set last year and now it was being used to the fullest. It was Ron, Fred, George, Ginny, Hermione, Tonks, and Harry against Bill, Charlie, Percy(who finally came back into the family), Katie Bell (having come over for his birthday the next day), Neville (who also came over for his birthday the next day), Oliver Wood (for the same reason), and finally Remus Lupin playing Seeker. Remus was using his keen eyesight that came from being a Werewolf to the test trying to find the Snitch. Finally Harry saw a flash of gold right sitting right behind Remus. Harry smiled charged over to Remus who was to busy looking down to realize that Harry was charging at him, till it was too late. A few seconds later the snitch was fluttering it wings in Harry's hand all but ending the game for the day, the score 260 to 20 in favor to Harry's team. Harry smiled down at his "de- facto" team for the day and saw that Ginny was looking at him funny and when he looked over at her she looked away and blushed. For the first time since he knew her Harry suddenly realized how beautiful. Suddenly the Snitch in his hand shrilled sharply and exploded covering him in a fine magical dust. After it settled Harry emerged with eagle feathers all over his body that reminded him of Fred and George's canary creams. Suddenly he realized that everybody was laughing at him, which made Harry glared at Fred and George now knowing who did it. The twins were all out laughing and flew over to Harry to inspect their handiwork.

"A Exploding Eagle Snitch one of our latest inventions," Fred no George said with a smile. Harry sighed knowing that since he was their financial backer and partner he would be their sometimes-ginny pig. But on the bright side it was nice to hear laughter when Voldemort was out there somewhere. As he started to come down he caught himself looking at Ginny who was now wiping tears of mirth from her eyes. By the time he landed the eagle feathers started fall of him. Harry sighed in relief since he didn't really want to go around looking a cross between human and eagle. Suddenly something came to him as he started head out of the padlock and towards the Barrow.

"Yeah Fred, George what ever happened to the real Snitch?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Both twins looked at him flabbergasted and to answer his question Hermoine's ginger cat Crookshanks walked in front of them with a golden ball in her mouth. Harry cursed and started after the feline troublemaker. This earned him another round of laughter from the others as they to started to head back to the Barrow.

- Back in the Barrow a welcoming sight meet the players as they returned. Albus Dumbledore sat in front of the house talking excitedly to Molly Weasley.

"...you mean David Xavier that boy who a that knack for those advanced hexes," Molly was saying as the Quidditch players stomped onto the porch. Albus then turned to regard Harry laughing with his friends around him; this brought a smile onto the old mans face.

"Harry may I talk to you in private please?" Dumbledore asked him with a smile to reassure him that everything was fine. Harry nodded silently and followed his headmaster and now mentor around the house to his and Ron's room. Already there was a young girl about his age wearing muggle jeans and t-shirt.

"I have some good news for you Harry, over the summer I thought of what I did to you leaving you with Dursleys and so I started to figure out I can take you away from there. At the same time I started to look around my private library and other such places for a way to beat Voldemort and so I found the answer to both questions. I found a new Prophecy about how you are going to beat Voldemort, but this one said that you have to have a bond of love and respect with somebody to beat him. So after reading this I remembered my ace up my sleeve as the muggles say that I hid from you and the rest of Wizarding world," he said with that very annoying twinkle in his eyes that said he knew something that you didn't.

"What's that Professor?" Harry asked curious trying to figure why this girl was sitting on Ron's bed looking at him strangely and at the same time him having a feeling that he knew her.

"Your twin sister Harry," Dumbledore replied with a smile motioning the girl over to him. Harry looked shocked as something inside of him finally came together that had been broken since his parents death.

"Allow me to present Katharine Lilly Potter your twin sister, your parents being the good friends they were allow Lilly's best friend Ashley adopt Kat here. When I found about her a little bit after the death of your parents when Ashley and her husband came up to me to ask for advice, I hid her away in America as a back up plan in case something bad happened to you over the years," Dumbledore said with a sad smile. Harry looked at him in shock and a little bit of anger.

"That was int'l I found the Twin Phoenix Prophesy which stated that Kat needed to be at your side for you to defeat Voldemort, now I shall leave for a couple minutes to talk to Molly and to let you two get acquainted then me and Kat are off to Hogwarts," with that he left in a swirl of cloak. For the longest while the two siblings's stood they're looking at each other.
"I'm sorry about your godfather Sirius Harry," Kat said breaking the silence between the two of them. Harry smiled at her as he sat down on his bed to get comfortable and at the same time it was a little bit to munch to take in.

"That's okay so what you been doing for our lifetime?" Harry asked with a smile leaning back in his bed.

"Oh I lived as a Muggle for most of my life int'l my foster father told me about my true heritage, you?" She asked him in return with a smile as well. Harry chuckled at that and looked around at Ron's Chudley Cannon posters.

"Pretty much for me but I have to live with our darling Aunt and Uncle," Harry replied sarcastically. Kat giggled lightly and then got serious.

"About you live with me and my foster family instead of those Dursley's?" Kat asked him with a smile. Harry looked over at her in shock when he heard it.

"Oh god yes," Harry said with a smile in return excitedly.

"Good I always wanted to have a little brother," Kat said with a smile that earned her a pillow thrown at her face.

"Little brother we're twins," Harry informed her with a smile as he ducked a return shot from Kat. They continued this int'l she had to leave for Hogwarts to get some tutoring since she had never gone to a Wizard School before. Later that night for the first time in ages Harry fell asleep to a peaceful and restful sleep.
