The Forgotten House

Meet the Tonkses

My Pov

Hagrid lead us through the alley, in the direction back to the Leaky Cauldron, before we heard someone call out to him.

"Hagrid!" a man called. We turned to see a fair-haired man waving to Hagrid.

"Well, if it isn't Ted Tonks. Nice to see you again." Hagrid said. The two shook hands. "Harry and Holly. I'd like you both to meet a former Hogwarts student. Edward 'Ted' Tonks." That's when the man looked at us with wide eyes.

"Not the Harry and Holly Potter?" Ted asked. We both shyly nodded. He beamed. He grabbed our hands and vigorously shook them. "It is such a privilege and honor to meet you both!"

"Nice to meet you too, sir." Harry said.

"Where are Andromeda and Nymphadora?" Hagrid asked. Ted seemed to laugh.

"Hagrid, you know Dora hates being called by her first name." Ted said. He looked at me and Harry. "Best you both know this now. My daughter prefers to be addressed by Tonks." Harry and I nodded. He then looked back at Hagrid. "They're back at the Leaky Cauldron. We're spending some time with Dora before she goes for her last year."

"Well, we're heading back that way. We'll join you." Hagrid said. We followed Mr. Tonks back to the Leaky Cauldron. We walked in and saw him sit at a table where a woman and girl were sitting. The girl hugged Mr. Tonks and the woman kissed him. I guess that's his wife Andromeda and daughter Nymphadora. I mean Tonks, since that's what Ted said she preferred.

"Andy! Dora! Look who I ran into." Ted said, gesturing to Hagrid.

"Why hello Hagrid!" greeted Andromeda. She was really beautiful. She had long, wavy brunette hair and deep brown eyes. She was dressed a little more richly than Mr. Tonks or Tonks..

"Wotcher Hagrid!" greeted Tonks. Now she was really different. Her hair was a vibrant bubblegum. She was dressed kind of punk-like. What was most notable about her outfit were her boots and her T-shirt, which said 'Weird Sisters'. Must be some group or something. That's when Tonks took notice of us. "Who are they?" Andromeda took notice of us too.

"Yes. Who are these two Hagrid?" Andromeda asked.

"Andromeda, Tonks, meet Harry and Holly Potter." Hagrid said. Their eyes widened at the mention of our names. Andromeda stood up, walked over to us and shook our hands gently.

"It is such a pleasure to be meeting you both face-to-face." Andromeda said. Tonks jumped up and actually hugged us.

"You both look just like I thought you would! Wotcher Harry! Wotcher Holly!" Tonks exclaimed. I was a little stunned by this. Nobody but Harry has ever hugged me. We all sat down at the table. We were brought some food and for a while, Harry and I were quiet.

"Harry? You and your sister are awfully quiet." Hagrid said.

"He killed our parents. The one who gave us these scars." Harry said. Hagrid and the Tonkses all got nervous and quiet.

"You all know who he is." I said. Everyone looked at each other nervously.

"Kids there's one thing you should know right now; not all wizards and witches are good." Ted said.

"Especially one. His name was... was..." Andromeda stammered. Hagrid stopped her and motioned for the two of us to come closer.

"His name was Voldemort." Hagrid whispered.

"Voldemort?" Harry and I asked aloud. All four of them got scared and shushed us. Hagrid then told us how Voldemort had been gathering followers and killed anyone who stood against him. Hagrid then told us when our parents fought against him, he killed them and that we were the only ones to survive.

"So that's what really happened to our parents." I mumbled. Harry put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. Ted then looked at his watch.

"Blimey! The trains going to leave in about an hour. We all better get going." he said. Our tab was paid and we all went to the train station. While walking, Hagrid looked at his watch.

"Sorry kids. Best be off now. I'm needed somewhere else." Hagrid said. He then looked at the Tonkses. "Ted, Andromeda, do you think you could-" Andromeda cut him off.

"We'll make sure they get to the train." she said. Hagrid nodded and went off to wherever he needed to be. We followed the Tonks' down to the platform. Apparently, the platform we were looking for was called 9 3/4. Was there such a platform? That's when I heard a voice from the left of me.

"Every year it's the same, packed with Muggles." a woman said. That's when I saw a woman and several children following her.

"Oh, the Weasleys!" Tonks said. We all quickly followed them. Harry and I watched as the older boys, whose names I heard to be Percy, Fred and George ran toward the wall between 9 and 10 and seemingly went through it. I was really shocked.

"Molly!" Ted called out. The woman, Molly Weasley, turned around.

"Oh Ted! Andromeda! Tonks! How are you all?" she asked.

"Oh fine. Just making sure these two get to Hogwarts safe and sound." Ted said, gesturing to Harry and me.

"I see. Don't worry dears. It's Ron's first time at Hogwarts as well." Molly said.

"Holly, Harry, watch." Tonks said. Tonks went ahead and went through the wall.

"Just run at the wall?" I asked nervously. The older adults all nodded. Harry went first. I waited a few seconds before running at the wall myself. I closed my eyes just as I thought I was about to hit the wall, but felt nothing. I opened my eyes and was amazed. I was on platform 9 3/4 and there was the Hogwarts Express.

"Come on Holly!" Harry called. I hurried and had my luggage tucked away. I boarded the train and soon we were off. I thought about what lied ahead, not knowing that my life would be forever changed by the end of the school year.

Yeah. This is going to be a little of an AU. Also, this isn't going to just be one story. It's going to be a series, one story for each movie. Except Deathly Hallows, that will be one story.
