                         Harry's POV
   Everyone is dismissed to go to our common rooms. Every one that is but me, Viktor Krum, and a young girl I think may be his sister. I don't like other celebrities. They all seem to be shallow, or at least Lockhart was and he had no real talent. So I can't imagine how inflated a person with actual skill like Krum could be. I had no clue why they want us here but I wasn't ever expecting what they did tell us.
   "Harry this is Viktor Krum and his sister Grace." Professor Dumbledore said. "Viktor and Grace this is Harry Potter. I however did not just ask you to stay for formal introductions. There is something important I must tell you."
   I have absolutely no clue where he is going with this. Please tell me he doesn't want me to do a big school project with Krum. I have no interest in any school projects and I'm not even in the same year as him.
   "Grace I assume you know you're adopted?" He asks her and the poor girl just shakes her head no. Victor shoots him daggers and if she was my little sister I would to. Honestly though where did she think she got her flaming red hair from?  I still don't see what this has to do with me.
"Oh" he said. "I am sorry that you found out this way but I have good news as well. You have and older brother who goes to Hogwarts." Maybe he wants me to introduce them. I don't know.
"Who is him." She asks her broken English so helpless and innocent.
"Harry." He replied.
Does he want me to go get someone? "Yes, sir?" I ask.
   He laughs. "No you are her brother."
   "What?" I said at the same time as Krum.
   "You heard me. I figured it was time you all knew. I would assume you will want to get to know each other so you'll have an hour before one of the Hufflepuff prefects come to take them to the common room." He said.
   "Yes, Sir." We all said in unison.
                    Grace's POV
   I just found out I'm adopted and my birth brother is a stupid celebrity. I want to be alone right now, but do I get that option? No. I have to sit here with this new brother of mine and Viktor my real brother. This is just plain stupid but Viktor is shooting me one of his glances. So I stay put.
   "Hi Grace." Harry said. "Where did you grow up?" He asked me.
   "Bulgaria." I say.
   "Where in Bulgaria?" He asked sounding intrigued.
   "With Viktor, my brother. My real brother." I may have to stay but I am not being nice.
   "Did they treat you alright?" He asks sounding concerned.
   "Him treated me just fine. Him cares about me. Him didn't abandon me." I said emphasizing each Him.
   "Grace, I knew less about you then you knew about me. I do care about you. I wasn't trying to abandon you. And sense he did treat you well that was a better place for you to grow up then where I did. I promise you that." He said kindly.
   I knew it was all an act though. Where could he grown up though? Where was it so bad it was better for me not to know about him? Now I was intrigued but I couldn't let him know. "It's all an act. I've seen them all. You'll pretend to care about me until I let something slip and then you'll let everyone know."
  "It's not an act I do care about you." He said genuinely.
  "Whatever. I'm going to go wait for this prefect to come. I'll let you know when they get here, Viktor." I say walking off.
                   Viktor's POV. 
   "Whatever. I'm going to go wait for this prefect to come. I'll let you know when they get here, Viktor." Grace said walking off.
   "I'm sorry about her. She's just angry. She'll be back to normal in a couple of days. I didn't even know she was adopted." I tell him.
   "It's okay. Like I told her, I just found out she existed today. I have to give you props for keeping her out of the media." He tells me.
   "Thanks. It wasn't easy. I'll tell you that, but it was important. I had a kid once try to steal my socks. I couldn't risk someone trying to steal her."
   "I agree. I don't want her kidnapped and I really do care about her."
   "I believe it. Hey do you know where she gets her bright red hair from?" I ask "I mean I thought I had a 99x great grandmother or something that had red hair, but that doesn't seem to be the case."
   "Grace has my mothers hair. She looks like a version of my mom At least what I've seen in pictures." He answers me.
   "You never knew them?" I asked him.
   "No, they died when I was a baby. I guess it was the same day Grace was born. When was she born?" He asked me.
"Halloween 12 years ago." I told him.
"That's when Voldemort killed my parents." He told me.
"Don't say that name!" I said.
"I'm not scared of him. I've defeated him three times. And I can defeat him a fourth time if that's what I have to do." He told me. "But I couldn't have done it without my friends or my parents the first time."
"Oh, I'm really sorry. You told our sister you grow up in a place you wouldn't want her. Where did you grow up?"
"My aunt and uncles place. They're muggles that hate magic. They basically treated me like a house elf. Oh and last summer I accidentally blew up my uncles sister like a balloon because she was insulting my parents. They basically kicked me out of the house while someone was on the loose trying to kill me. I don't want her anywhere near them if we can help it and if you knew them you would agree. Trust me." Harry said.
"I don't think I want to know them. I'll just trust you." I tell him.
"Viktor, the person is here to take us to the dorms." Grace says.
"Bye, Viktor, and would you talk to her for me?" Harry asks.
     "Bye, Harry, and sure."
     "Thanks." he says as Grace and I leave with a boy that looks a lot like Nicole. Maybe her brother.
                             Harry's POV
   "Bye, Harry, and sure." Viktor said as he and Grace followed Cedric Diggory. I headed but to the Gryffindor tower and low and behold I forgot to get the password. Luckily Hermione was waiting for me. She pulled me into the tower.
    "What happened?" Ron asked me.
    "I have a sister." I said.
    Ron laughed and Hermione looked annoyed. "If you didn't want to tell us you could have just said so." Hermione huffed.
   "I'm serious. Her name is Grace and she was raised by the Krum's. Neither she nor Viktor knew she was adopted until Dumbledore told us. And you can't tell anyone she exists. Victor did a good job of keeping her out of the media and I want to keep it that way."
   "Could she introduce me to Viktor?" Ron asked and Hermione looked appalled.
    "Seriously, Ronald. I can't believe you just asked that. Would you like it if someone used you just to get close to Harry?" Hermione asked.
    "No." He answered sheepishly.
    "She has enough to deal with already. I just want to keep her out of the media and away from Malfoy." I say.
     "I understand, Harry." Hermione said. "Do you want me to talk to her, girl to girl?"
      "Maybe. She needs some time to proses every thing first."
     "Okay that makes sense." Hermione said.
    "What is he like?" Ron asked.
    "You mean she?" I asked him.
   "No Viktor." He said like it was obvious.
"I don't know. I didn't pay attention to him. I way to busy focusing on my angry little sister."
He looked shocked and I was glad when the Weasley twins came down.
"Where were you, Harry?" One of the twin, Fred I think, asked.
I had to make a quick decision. Tell them or keep her a secret. I'll talk to Viktor in the morning but for now I better keep her a secret. "It's a long story I don't want to get into." I said hoping they wouldn't want more details.
"Okay, Harry." The other one said. You would think that after spending three school years and three summers together I could tell them apart, but, no. I don't know Fred from George.
I yawned. "I think it's time for bed." I lied. Honestly I just didn't want them to ask me anymore questions. Unfortunately Ron wasn't fooled.
"I'm going up to." He said. We had both walked upstairs and I had just closed the door when he asked, "What's up with not telling my brother's about Grace?"
    "I want to talk to Viktor before I tell anyone about her. And you can't tell anyone either." I warned him.
"Why not? You just found out you have a baby sister. I would tell everyone I know if I were you." He said.
"Because if I told anyone and it got out to the news do you know what could happen? Some creep could kidnap her just to meet Viktor and myself. Apparently someone tried to steal Viktor's socks once. Neither of us want someone taking Grace. And I especially don't want it to be my fault that something happens to her." I tell him.
"Oh." he said. I wish I had the same luxury of being normal that he did. I just can't put her safety over the fact that I want to tell everyone.
"I'm going to bed, Ron." I say before going to the bathroom to get ready for bed.
