AN: Alright, first things first. Thanks for those who have reviewed. Hopefully this chapter explains a few things. I tried to make this longer, but it was dragging on and on. At least its longer then the last. So let me know how it is, and sorry if some parts get you confused.

“Who were they?” Harry asked, turning back to his much dreaded potion’s essay. It was the only thing left of his summer homework.

“I don't know, but they sounded American.” Hermione raised her nose a bit before turning back to her home work. Ron just shrugged when Harry raised an eyebrow to him. Lately Hermione has been acting a bit different, even towards Harry and Ron. Ginny, of course, had recently begun harassing Harry about going out with her, much to Mrs. Weasley’s delight, and Harry’s dismay. Girls were looney, in the boy's opinion.

Of course Harry didn’t know how to tell Ginny that he was not interested in her, or interested in any girl. No one besides Ron, knew about Harry’s preference, and he was intent on keeping it that way, for quite some time. Specially as the media kept hounding him whenever he stepped out into the Wizarding community. Harry defiantly did not want Sirius or Remus to know as he thinks of them as father figures and don’t want them to be disappointed or to hate him. Hell what would his father think?

Harry remembered it well, the day that his dad was returned to him. It began near the end of May, when Voldemort sent him a false vision of the Dark Lord using his godfather for ritual in front of a vail in the department of mysteries. So Harry and his friends rushed into a trap.

It seemed that Voldemort was luring him in one last attempt to mentally break him. Sirius was not there but once Harry and his friends had rushed into the room that had housed the vail, death eaters had ambushed them. They fought pretty hard and they'd held their own for the most part but Ginny had gotten herself captured. Voldemort, after his usual taunts, started a ritual and brought James Potter out of the veil. It appeared that Voldemort was going to use James as a mindless slave, and force father and son to fight each other.

However, before the final part of the ritual could be completed the Order of the Phoenix had shown up and Sirius had rushed at Voldemort. Since Voldamort lost his concentration, there was a backlash in magic, ripping his soul out of his body in the process and destroying it, never to be able to be reborn. But, the backlash sealed James’ soul into his body, truly bringing him back to life. Though, Dumbledore, Sirius, Snape, Remus and Madam Pomfrey made sure that it was truly James and not one of Voldemort’s last attempt to bring darkness into their world.

After they had made sure it was James, James went to the Ministry to get Sirius’ named cleared and to gain back custody of his son. James decided that since Godrics Hallow would have to many bad memories for both him and Harry, he'd decided that he would use one of the other properties that the Potters owned. The one he chose was a bit out dated and needed lots of work. Sirius had offered Grimmauld place for them to stay until their new home was ready. So at the end of the school year, James, Sirius and Remus went with Harry to get the rest of his things from the Dursleys, which wasn’t much.

Upon arrival at number four private drive, the Petunia and Vernon were shocked at the now alive James. And James was pissed at how they had treated his son. Harry and Remus had had to physically drag Sirius and James from the house before they could do any harm to the Dursleys.

A week after they had settled into Grimmauld place Sirius suggested that they invite some of Harry’s friends over. And this is where they were now.

“The younger one looked a bit like Harry,” Ron commented. The past year had changed Ron for the better. With the end of the War and the extra training he and Harry had taken, it taught him discipline, and sharpened his mind. He’d even done better at his studies for the year. He'd had to if he had wanted to survive. Of course, Hermione hadn’t noticed, nor had Ginny. They were to engrossed with themselves, especially lately. Harry did not know how they had survived the final battle.

“Did not. Ron just shut up, and try to do you homework without copying from Harry,” Ginny bristled and scooted closer to Harry, who shared a look with Ron.

“Whatever.” Ron rolled his eyes and packed up his books and shoved them into his bag. Harry followed suit, annoyed at the girls he used to call friends, maybe even family.

“You two come sit back down, you’re not finished.” Hermione ordered with a glare. Both boys ignored her and left the library to head back to their rooms.

When they got there they noticed a bag on the third bed in their room. They could head the shower running from their private bath. Sirius had given them the largest of one of three rooms that had an on-suite. Maybe the younger guy that arrived earlier was to be their new room mate, even though Sirius would have asked first. Unless of course, Dumbledore had arranged it without Sirius’ knowledge.

The shower turned off and both boys started to fidget. Though Harry didn’t know why he did so he tried to will himself to stop, and that failed miserably. The door opened and out walked the younger man. Both Harry and Ron averted their eyes, as the man did not have any clothing on, nor a towel.

Ron felt his face heat up as his gaze was drawn back to that body. That gorgeous body. All those nice toned muscles and bronze skin. And was that a tattoo on the left hip? Ron’s face heated more when the man smirked at him before pulling some pants on and pulling a shirt over his head.

“So sorry about the eye full, I had thought the crazy hugging man gave me a solo room.”

Harry sighed, turning back around. He saw Ron’s flamed face out of the corner of his eye and gave a mental chuckle.

“That’s okay, we guess. The name’s Harry?” Harry held out his hand.

The man grasped it in a firm grip and gave it a shake. “Kabel.”

“Isn’t that a muggle wire that you plug into your television?” Ron asked. Kabel raised an eyebrow as Harry snorted.

“Ummm... no. My name is spelt K.A.B.E.L. not C.A.B.L.E. My dad is odd at times, and one of those times was when I was born.” Kabel shrugged.

“The foot in mouth over there is Ron, by the way,” Harry introduced his now embarrassed friend. “So you’re from America?” Harry sat on his own bed as Kabel was pulling on his socks.

“Yup, so your British?” Kabel chuckled at the deadpan looks he was given. “Sorry, its kind of my fall back when I’m in a new situation- well new environment, really.” Kabel tugged his shoes on.

“I guess that’s okay, we might act the same if we are in a new environment,” Ron shrugged.

“So what brings you to england?” Harry asked opening his potions book and laying it on the bed in front of him.

“Are you a new Order recruit?” Ron asked not giving Kabel time to answer Harry’s question.

Kabel gave a confusing look at Ron. “Ummmm.... I don’t even know what Order your talking about, so that will be a no. And dad and I are here on a mini vacation.”

“If your not a new Order member then why would Dumbledore bring you here?” Ron asked.

Kabel blinked. “The hugging man is my great great granduncle. I figured that this is his house or something.” Kabel shrugged.

Harry and Ron stared at their new roommate. He was related to their headmaster. Hell Harry didn’t even realized that the headmaster had an family.

“It must have been hard growing up with the headmaster’s fame,” Harry gave an off comment.

“I wouldn’t know, I only met the guy today.”

“What? Why?” Ron inquired.

“Well, dad never really wanted to come back to england after he moved back home and gramps was okay with that. They still kept in contact with granduncle. I just never really knew him. Hell I don’t even think he knew I was alive until we flooed in.” Kabel explained with a thoughtful look on his face. Ron and Harry both gave him looks.

“I can’t really explain it more, dad’s the only one that truly know why he never told granduncle about me. And I’m okay with that,”

“We can understand that. So what’s the magical education like?” Ron asked.

Kabel thought, “Well I don’t know what its like over here, but we start our education when we are eight and go until we’re sixteen, then you can continue your education at one of five universities.”

“So are you still in school?” Harry asked. Kabel chuckled.

“No, I worked my butt of during school and got to graduate three years early. I finished my university masters about two years ago.”

Ron’s mouth dropped.

“You can’t be more then eighteen though!” Harry exclaimed.

“Nineteen to be exact.” Kabel grinned.

“Bloody hell you must be some super wizard!” Kabel shook his head at Ron.

“No, I barley use my magic, if only to help the magical creature at the ranch.”

“Why?” Harry asked.

“Why not? I can easily repair a fence with my own two hands as I can with magic. I feel I get more accomplished doing things normally then with magic.”

Harry gave a nod. “I can understand that.” He paused, “So since you’re out of school, what do you do for a living?”

“I’m in the family business. I’m a rancher.”

“A rancher?” Ron asked.

“Yeah, my gramps owns a ranch and dad and I work on it with the handlers. I mostly work with the abused or injured horses to rehabilitate them before they go to a new home or go back to their previous home. Dad and gramps work in training the new horses. We also work along side rescue groups for different animals. We have several cats, lots of dogs, a panther, several wild animals and a few magical creatures.”

“Sounds pretty cool.”

“It does doesn’t it. So what do you guys want to do when you finish school?”

Ron brightened up. “I would love to be an Auror,”

Kabel turned to Harry. “I had wanted to be an Auror, but after fighting Voldamort this year, I would rather help wizards, not chase them down.” Harry shrugged.

“So maybe a social worker or healer?” Kabel suggested leaning back. Harry contemplated that.

Ron was about to add a suggestion when there was a knock at the door.

“Come in?” Harry called out. The door opened to reveal Remus.

“Dinner is ready- Oh!” A look of surprise flashed over Remus’ face. “We seem to have a guest...” Remus glanced at Ron and Harry. "Dumbledore?" The boys nodded and Remus walked into the room. “I’m Remus,” Remus held out his hand.

“Kabel,” They shook hands.

“Well I just came up here to inform you dinner is ready and that it was James’ turn to cook.” Harry and Ron jumped off their beds and ran out the door. Kabel was going to take a guess and say that James must be a good cook.

Kabel stopped, “Did you just say James? As in James Potter?” Kabel asked Remus.

Remus stared at the young man. “Yes,” He was taken back from the next words out of the man’s mouth.

“Damn! I have to warn dad! Thanks Remus!” Kabel ran out the door leaving a bewildered Remus behind.

Kabel raced down the stairs and caught up to Ron and Harry just as they entered the kitchen and all three stopped. Inside he saw his dad and what looked to be James Potter just staring at each other, as the other people in the kitchen looked on.

After a tense moment Rick turned away and found his son giving him a worried look. Rick sighed and walked over to him.

“Go eat, spend time with Harry, get to know him. You can tell him if you’d like.”

Kabel watched his dad leave the kitchen sadly. Not only did his dad see his long-ago lover alive again, but he also had to relive the painful memories and feelings.

Kabel sighed and sat down beside Remus and Harry. There was an assortment of wonderful smelling food and his mouth began to water.

He looked around the table seeing who was there and who was not. Beside Remus and Harry, who were on either side of him, was Ron. Sitting across from him were two girls, one looking as though she was related to Ron, and across from Harry sat James. At the head of the table sat a long dark haired man.

Turning to the man at the head of the table, noticing that the two girls were helping themselves to dinner before they were told to do so, “Is the hugging man staying for dinner?” Kabel asked. He was forcing himself not to make a comment.

Harry laughed at Kabel's description of the Head Master.

“Who?” Sirius asked before sending Ginny and Hermione a reproving look for starting the meal without his consent. He knew Hermione was from a muggle family and wouldn’t know that when sitting at the table for a meal that it is considered rude and disrespectful to the head of the family to start serving and eating before everyone was at the table. But he did expect better from Ginny, knowing that she was from a pureblood family and had been taught proper wizarding manners.

“Kabel refers to me, I believe.” Dumbledore walked into the kitchen and sat opposite of Sirius at the other end of the table. “Please forgive me for being late. I had a firecall from my grand nephew wondering if his son and grandson arrived safely.” He gave a pointed look at Kabel.

Kabel looked a little sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

“Yea, I was suppose to call when I arrived but then I got all sooty and then…yeah.” Kabel trailed off.

Sirius shook his head at the boy but nodded is consent to the rest of the table to commence the meal.

Half way through the meal James leaned over to Sirius. With Sirius’ nod he got up and left the room. Harry shot his godfather a questioning look.

Kabel stiffened beside Harry. He hoped his dad would be alright.

“Mr.Black.” Kabel shifted his gaze from the door to the lord of the house. “May Harry and I be excused from the table?”

“I see no problem.”

“Thank you.”

Harry looked on bewilderedly as he was dragged out of the kitchen, through the house, and brought to a room he’d never been into. The room looked to be an office, but as soon as he was let go he turned just in time to see Kabel lock and ward the room.

“What was that about?” Harry demanded.

Kabel looked at him and sighed.

“I need to tell and explain a few things” Kabel started to pace.

Harry leaned against the desk, arms crossed waiting for the older boy to start.

“First thing, You may have noticed downstairs.... Our dad’s have a history together. And by history, I mean that they were a couple."

Harry blinked before he spoke. “How do you know that there was a history?” Harry asked.

Kabel ran a hand over his face. He sighed again. “Because their relationship wasn’t without consequences.”

Harry frowned in confusion. He didn’t understand what Kabel was getting at.

“Dad, one day, found your dad making out with someone else and left.. But he left with a consequence of being with your father, and did not tell anyone until he had to.”

“I don’t understand what you are trying to get at.” Harry grabbed at his hair frustratedly.

“I'm that consequence.” Kabel looked out the window before looking at Harry in the eyes. “I'm your brother.”
