AN: Hey everyone just wanted to let all of you know that I own none of the characters from either Harry Potter or Stargate/Stargate Atlantis I’m just borrowing them for a little bit.
Z: I wrote this story a long time ago. I found it sitting in a folder on my computer and decided to revamp it a little and post it for you all. It’s the longest story that I have posted to date. It’s also the first Draco/Harry story that I ever wrote and one of the early McKay/Sheppard ones. I hope everyone likes. Please Review and let me know.
“Rodney, John you are cleared for leave,” Elizabeth announced
“Thanks Elizabeth,” I said
Rodney and I left her office heading to our quarters. When we got close I thought the door open. Our quarters are perfect in every way. I will always remember the day I asked Rodney to move in with me. He had nearly fainted before telling me he would love to live with me.
The main room is neat with a couch and a television monitor, a kitchenette, a main bedroom where we sleep which is half neat; the walls are covered in pictures of the two of us. When we moved in Rodney had made the small second room into his den though both of us work in there at times. That was almost a year ago and life just keeps getting better.
Rodney and I have been granted our request for two weeks of leave on Earth. Everyone in the city has been working very hard lately and the two of us are way over due on leave and so we decided to go back to Earth for a mini-vacation. Packing was fun since Rodney couldn’t decide all of what he wanted to take with us. We had two hours until we were supposed to go through the gate to Earth so Rodney and I tried on different outfits and talked while packing.
Waiting in the gate room for our trip to Earth we said goodbye to our friends. When the Iris of the SGC was confirmed to be open we stepped through the gate. Earth and Atlantis have a better connection these days then we did in that first year. Both bases now have ZPM’s so we can open the gate between galaxies. The direct route is usually how everyone gets back to the SGC but if you wanted to take a little longer we also have an intergalactic gate bridge that Rodney and Sam Carter developed last year that works pretty well. Midway station is actually kind of a nice place to relax but a little small.
Being back on Earth is going to be amazing. Rodney and I went through the normal check up in the infirmary, then the debriefing and we were then allowed to leave the base about two hours later. We headed up to the surface and in the back parking lot found my truck parked where I left it last time we were on Earth and put our bags in the back of the truck. I spun around when I heard a bang, out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a black cloak disappearing.
“What was that?” Rodney asked looking around the parking lot trying to find the source of the sound.
“No idea,” I answered though I had an idea what it was.
“Let’s go,” he said getting into the passenger seat.
“Yep we should get going,” I agreed getting behind the wheel.
We checked out with the guard at the gate and then checked out once against when we got to the bottom of the mountain. We talked about a bunch of stuff as we headed to our hotel. I checked us in and we went up to our room.
Four Hours Later
“Rodney what do you want to watch,” I asked using the remote to flip through the channels dismayed to find only news and infomercials.
“Doesn’t matter to me,” he said and then yelped
I found what he was looking at and put my hand on his arm, “Babe calm down it’s just an owl,” I told him walking over to open the window.
Once the window was open a large brown and tan barn owl hopped in and held out his leg. I untied the letter from its leg and stroked it for a moment. The owl nipped my fingers gently and sat next to the window probably waiting for a response from me. Taking the letter I went back to the bed resuming my spot next to Rodney who watched me cross the room closely.
“What’s that?” he inquired looking over my shoulder at the envelope
“A letter, Rodney,” I answered wondering myself what it was about. I broke the seal and unrolled the piece of parchment.
Dear Mr. John Sheppard,
We are happy to find that you have finally returned from the Fidelius protected area where you have spent the last three years. My Undersecretary wanted me to tell you that he is sorry for having scared your companion it was not his intention. Percy was sent to check if your location had changed recently as he has done every few weeks for the aforementioned three years.
And so to get to the point of this letter that I am writing you. The Department of Births and Deaths here at the Ministry has recently found that you have a younger sibling. We wanted to get this information to you as soon as we possibly could.
According to our records you attended Salem Institute for the Wizarding Arts in the United States and so we are able to give you this information without breaking the secrecy statute. Your half sibling through your mother is 17 years of age and is at this moment attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. For more information please contact the school under the direction of Headmistress Minerva McGonagall.
Sincerely,
Minister Cornelius Fudge
My jaw dropped and I set the letter down beside me. I stood up going to my bags pulling out an old sheet of parchment, a quill, and a jar of black ink. I normally didn’t travel with the items usually but with coming back to Earth after so long I thought it would be a good idea, I guess I was right. I sat back down pulling a TV-tray over to write on.
“John what’s going on,” Rodney said starring at me
“Writing a letter,” I told him
“To who,” he asked
“To Headmistress Minerva McGonagall,” I answered looking up at him quickly
“Who is she,” Rodney inquired
“Headmistress Minerva McGonagall is the Headmaster of a private school named Hogwarts,” I responded before going back to writing my letter.
Dear Headmistress McGonagall,
Ma’am you don’t know me but my name is Lt. Colonel John Sheppard. Upon returning from three years away serving in the United States Air Force I received a letter for the Ministry.
The letter was sent to inform me that I have a younger sibling who attends Hogwarts. I was not given a name so I can not tell you who which student it would be. If it’s any assistance in finding my sibling my father was Evan Sheppard and my mother’s name was Lily Evans.
I would like to know more about my sibling. If you could tell me anything at all I would really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
John Sheppard
I sealed the letter and walked back over to the window. After attaching the letter to its leg the owl headed out the window.
“What’s going on John,” Rodney questioned sounding slightly annoyed with me.
“That letter is from a department of the English Ministry informing me that they have found in their records that I have a younger sibling who’s 17 and is attending Hogwarts,” I explained
