Sorry for not writing anything for a long time. I have been caught up with school lately. But I'm back so here's the chapter. By they way I just wanted to say thank you for all the people that have read this story. I am almost up to 1,000 readers.

Professor McGonall opened the wooden door to headmaster Dumbledore's office. I was beyond scared at what my parents were going to say. I looked at James who looked tense as well so I squeezed his hand which made him loosen up a little.
I saw my parents standing there talking to Dumbledore. As we walked into the office Dumbledore looked at us with a troubled look which made my stomach feel queasy. Dumbledore and McGonagall nodded at each other and headed out leaving me with my family in the room. "James we missed you", my mother said and pulled James into a hug and soon my father followed. He hugged them back causing his hand to leave mine. "Why are you both here? I mean I'm happy to see you but it's just a surprise is all" James asked them before I could. My parents shared a look of hesitation before smiling.  Mum looked at me with a sickening look as if she's solved the biggest puzzle in the world.
"Your father and I have come up with an idea that can finally bring happiness to our family" my mother said with a giant smile. "What do you mean" James asked confusion washing over both of us. "Well we noticed that we can't live like this anymore we can't have this relationship with Aurora anymore, it's causing everyone to much pain" my mother said which shocked me. Is she...is she going to apologize for treating me the way she did. Are we finally going to be a family? I looked up at James and he looked surprised as well, but didn't say anything. My slightly older brother and I waited for my parents to continue. "We came up with two ideas and we thought you should decide James because you seem to hate your sister more than your mother and I do" my father spoke up. That sentence didn't sound so good. Wait did James not tell mom and dad that we fixed our relationship? They still think he hates me.  "So the first option is we put her in Saint Mungos, you know how I work there I can easily send her there and say she has a problem, I mean she's depressed isn't she that should work enough" Mum said seriously. I looked at her for any signs of humor or hesitation but there was none, she was dead serious. She didn't even care that I was listening to her say this, she has no mercy. I was so shocked and scared I didn't notice that my hands started to shake. All hope left my body. I could feel James tense up next to me and a cold expression came on his face. I knew that my parents hated me but they didn't have to do this. But what was the other option, was it better or worse?
"Or we could just disown her" My father finished. I can't believe this. "No you can't do this I'm still your daughter" I yelled at them as I felt tears threatening to spill from my eyes.
"You are not my daughter you may be my blood but you were a mistake, your stupid, fat, yougly, dumb, and the worlds biggest slut, I regret having you" Mom yelled back. "Don't talk to her like that! She's my sister and I love her, you will not take her away from me. I don't care if your my parents or not but you will not touch my sister. I regret everything I did in the past, I want to fix things, let's be a family I want us all to be a family together" yelled James and pushed me behind him. We all gasped, James never yelled at Dad or Mom, and he actually stood up for me. "Look what you did you bitch. You turned my own son against me. James you should know better than want to play family it will never happen with this thing in our house" my mother spat at me while trying to convince James how he was wrong. "We tried to do this as civilized beings but you really leave us no choice. Tomorrow we will take you to Saint Mungos. And if you ever talk to James again we will make sure you are disowned" Mother screamed at me. "No please, please just don't send me there you can disown me just please don't send me to a hospital" I pleaded with her as tears went down my face. "What's the fun in that" my mother said smirking at me.
I ran out of the room, I couldn't bear to be in there any longer. I heard my name being shouted from behind me but I didn't care. I ran straight to the Slytherin common room. But I didn't stop there. I ran into my room jumped on my bed and cried my eyeballs out. I can't believe this is happening. What should I do...I couldn't let this happen to me. I have to leave, thats the only option. I got up and started packing my belongs. I stuffed my clothes in my trunk not bothering to fold them. I saw my white and caramel barn owl coming threw the window that was opened. And went into its cage, talk about perfect timing. I stumbled around a few times almost tripping while packing because my vision was blurry do to the water in my eyes. After what seemed like hours I was all packed. My body was shaking as all I wanted to do was scream and cry. But I didn't have time, I have to leave before they come and take me away. It was around 10:30p.m. now. I grabbed my trunk and owl and started to head to the Gryffindor common room. I somehow managed to get in because the fat lady took pity on me and let me see my brother. Luckily there was no one in the common room, I left my stuff by the fireplace and I snuck up to the boys dorms and read the names on each door until I found Jame's room. I didn't bother knocking on the door and just went in. I noticed that all the boys were sleeping and first went over to James. He looked so peaceful. I shook him trying to get him to wake up causing him to groan and almost hit my face. "James, James wake up" I called out to him while shaking him. He slowly fluttered his eyes open and when he saw me his eyes widened and he sat up and turned the lamp by his bed on. I noticed that his eyes were red and puffy as if he was crying for hours. "Aurora, are you ok! I'm so sorry for what happened! I tried to talk to them and get them to see that they were wrong, to not take you away! But it didn't work , I don't know what to do! I tried going after you but the slytherins wouldn't let me into your common room"  James said and started crying again. This is the first time I've seen him cry and it made me want to cry all over again. "It's ok James, it's going to be ok, I've already figured it all out" I told him and gave him a hug. "No it's not ok! I'm so sorry, I'm sorry it took me so long to be a brother to you, and not be able to protect you from mom and dad" James cried harder. His crying caused Sirius and Remus to wake up, Peter was still fast asleep. "Aurora" Sirius and Remus said your name loudly in surprise. James told them everything that had happened with your parents.  They got up from their parents and went over to Jame's bed and stood next to me. "Are you ok" they asked me worry clear in their words and expression. "I...I'm going to leave...I'm running away and I don't think I'm going to come back...I can't come back" I told them looking at the floor. "WHAT" all three boys practically shouted causing me to shush them. "Be quiet your going to wake everyone else up" I scolded them, but they didn't seem to care. "Your going to run away, but where are you going to go" Remus asked me. "I don't know, I'm going to talk to Dumbledore and ask him for help, I have all my stuff packed downstairs, I just couldn't leave without saying goodbye" I told them. "I'm going to miss having my only reading partner with me, I'm happy we finally got to talk, make sure you write to me and that you take care of yourself. I don't know how I'm gonna take care of all these idiots without you" Remus told me with a sad look on his face. He came over and hugged, and I heard him sniff a little trying to hold in a cry. When I pulled away from him I gave him a sad smile. "I'm going to miss you to Remus, and I'm sure you'll be able to take care of these idiots just fine, plus I promise to write ok" I told him and then turned to face Sirius. "Oh mini potter you've become like a little sister to me and I don't want to let you go but I know I have to. Make sure wherever you go you give all the men hell and if there are any hot girls you hook me up" Sirius said. "Sirius I hope you know that if there are any hot girls I will tell them all to run from you" I said causing him to laugh but laugh turned into a silent cry. "I'll miss you so much shaggy hair" I said and ruffled his hair causing him to glare at me. "I'm only letting you touch my hair cause your leaving" he told me seriously before being me into a hug. It lasted for a few seconds before we pulled apart as well. Finally it was Jame's turn. "Oh James" I mumbled. James got up from his bed and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back just as tightly as my tears fell on his shirt. "I'm sorry I wasted all those years on hating you. I realized how stupid I was for missing out on such an amazing person. You have to write to me ok, and I'll find a way to see you again so you can come home. I don't know what I'll do now that I finally got you back. I love you so much" James said to me. "I can't believe it either, I finally got my brother and now I have to leave, but James you were always my home not that empty house with our parents. Don't stop pranking people and trying to win over Lily Evans heart. Don't let me leaving change anything. I'll make sure to write I promise. I love you to and I forgive you, this isn't your fault" I whispered. James kisses my forehead and with all his strength let me go.

I said my good byes and headed for Dumbledore's office. I was hopping he could help me. When I entered the office that I ran from earlier today I saw Dumbledore sitting at his desk. "Ah Miss Potter I was expecting you, I am guessing you need my help to run away" said Dumbledore. I nodded my head in surprise, I guess he really does know everything. "You can leave by flow powder if you'd like Miss Potter I have have no intention of stopping you. I am dearly sorry for your situation" Dumbledore said the usual sparkle in his eyes gone.

"But before you do there is one thing you must know. Are you aware of the Greek Gods and Goddesses child" questioned Dumbledore. I nodded my head yes but I was confused on why he was bringing this up. "Well everything you know about them is real. And you are a demigod Aurora. Since you are leaving I will send you to a demigod camp called Camp Half blood in New York City" Said Dumbledore. "What do you mean I'm a demigod, that's not possible" my voice rising from every word. Is he serious he can't be serious, that's not even possible. "Soon after your parents had your brother they began to have frequent fights. And your mother she cheated on your father with another man, but she didn't know that this man was in fact a god, and yes Ms. Potter I am telling the complete truth" Dumbledore said. I can't believe this my father WASNT my actual father? My mom cheated on my dad? Wait but then who's my real father? How does Dumbledore know all this? "I know you must many questions and the only way to get your answers is to come with me" Dumbledore said and lent out his hand for me to hold.
