Eliza Potter: Harry Potters Sister 2

Chapter 3: The Truth Revealed

I made my way next to Harry to the burrows door. We knocked.

"Who's there, declare yourself!" Rang Mrs. Weasleys voice.

"It's um Harry and Eliza Potter-" said Harry through the door. I laughed a bit at how nervous he seemed.

The door opened at once.

"Oh my it is you," she said pulling us into a tight hug. "Dumbledore said not to expect you until the morning," she said.

"Um- yeah well Professor Slughorn agreed faster than Dumbledore thought he would I guess," said Harry.

"Tonks!" I said seeing Tonks who sat with brown hair and a mug in her hands at the table.

"Hello Eliza, Harry-" she said. She looked upset and as I was about to question it she got up.

"Well, I'd better be off. Thanks for the tea Molly," she said leaving the house quickly.

"Dear, why not come to dinner this weekend... Mad-Eye and Remus are coming?" Said Mrs. Weasley.

"No, really... Thanks Molly... Night everyone,She said and with that she was out.

Mrs. Wesley grabbed Harry by the shoulders and looked at her.

"You look like Ron... He's grown four inches since I brought his school robes. I swear you both look as if you've had stretching jinxes put on you," she said. She turned to me. "Elizabeth Potter. You look as if you could have shrunk three inches-" she said calmly. "Are you hungry?" She asked to both of us.

"Oh, yes I am-" said Harry. I sat down a the table next to him but insisted I want hungry though Mrs Weasley gave me the same French onion soup as Harry.

"Bread, dears?" She asked.

"Thanks Mrs. Weasley," I said and Harry said the same.

Suddenly a orange cat appeared.

"So, Hermione's here?" I asked looking at the cat that say in front of Harry.

"Yes, she arrived the day before yesterday-" said Mrs. Weasley.

"So, you persuaded Horace Slughorn to take the job?" She asked.

I nodded as did Harry.

"He taught Arthur and me at Hogwarts. Of course he can be charming when he wants to be, but Arthur's never liked him much. The ministry's littered with his old favorites...oh- I don't know if Rons told you in his letters, it's just happened. Arthur's been promoted!" She said happily.

"That's great!" Said Harry.
"Amazing!" I said continuing Harry.

"Oh, your so sweet. Yes- Rufus Scrimgeor has set up several new offices in response to the present situation. Arthur is heading the Office for Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects. It's a big job, he's got ten people reporting to him now!" She said beaming.

"What exactly-" asked Harry.

"Well you see, in all the panic about you-know-who, odd things have be cropping up for sale everywhere, things that are supposed to guard against -you-know-who and the Death Eaters. You can imagine the kind of things- so called protective potions that are really gravy with a bit of bubotuber pus added in. Or instructions for defensive jinxes that actually make your ears fall off. Well, in the main perpetrators just like Mundungus, who've never worked a full day in their lives and are taking advantage of how frightened people are, but every now and then something very nasty turns up. The other day Arthur confiscated a box of sneakoscopes that were almost definitely planted by a death eater. So you see,it's a very important job and I tell him it's just silly to miss dealing with spark plugs and muggle rubbish," she said being stern at the end of the thought.
