Chapter 1
It was the first day back in school after the summer holidays and Harry couldn't wait for the feast to begin. He was watching the first years being sorted into their houses when he noticed that Dumbledore wasn't sitting at the staff table. "Where do you think Dumbledore is?" Harry asked Ron and Hermione who were sitting either side of him. "Hmm... I don't know, you don't think anythings happened to hi, do you?" Hermione worried while Ron just shrugged.
The sorting was over and everyone was wondering where Dumbledore was so he could make his traditional speech before the feast began. Mirvana McGonagall stepped up and declared "Let the feast begin!" And all the plates started filling with food. Harry was just scooping some mashed potatoes onto his plate when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Profesor McGonagall standing there. "Come with me Potter." "Um yes professor" Harry gave Ron and Hermion a look that clearly said that he had no clue what was going on. McGongagall led him out of the great hall and through a side door Harry had never been in before, it had a sign on it saying "No students are aloud inside this room." Harry wondered what was going on. "...Professor?..." "Yes Potter?" "What did I do? Surely I can't have broken a rule already? We've onl-" "You haven't done anything wrong." "Oh..." Now Harry was really confused. "Dumbledore just needs to... show you something..." McGonagall said in an unsure voice. "Show me what?" "Enough question Potter! Now follow me!" The turned around a corner and found themselves in a room. The room smelt old and dusty. It had elaborately patterned wine coloured wallpaper and wooden floorboards. On one side of the room there was a large red couch on the other was another. In one corner there was a black swivel chair. In this room was Sirius, Remus, Dumbledore, The minister of magic, Cornelious Fudge who Harry had seen not to long ago when he did some accidental magic, and a figure in the corner who had his back turned to Harry which meant Harry couldn't see his face.
"Sirius! Remus!" Harry exclaimed. Harry rushed over and hugged his godfather and his virtual uncle. "Hello Harry, it's great to see you!" Remus smiled! "How ya doin pup?" asked Sirius. "I'm great! God I missed you guys over the summer! What are you doing here? Not that I'm not happy to see you! I am but is everything ok? Sirius why are you... you know..?" "Slow down Harry!" chuckled Sirius. The figure in the corner tried to stifle a laugh. "Yes we're both fine. It's a long story Harry but Dumbledore will explain everything so calm down!" Harry looked over at Dumbledore who nodded at him and told him to sit down. Harry sat on the red couch with Sirius and Remus and faced Dumbledore.
"Harry this is going to seem a little.. strange" Dumbledore began. This was the first time Harry had seen Dumbledore look at a loss for words. "Do you remember back in your first year Harry when you found out about the philosophers stone? And I told you Nicholas would destroy it?" "Yes." Harry replied wondering why on earth Dumbledore would bring this up now. "Well it turns out he didn't." "What? Why? What if Vol-" "Harry please let me finish" Dumbledore interrupted "Oh yes sorry professor" "So Nicholas was researching ways to destroy it, when he came across something... What he came across was quite unusual... As you know the philosophers stone stops someone from dying but if you are a particularly talented wizard it can have another use as well This is to bring another wizard back to life. Now Nicholas and his wife were ready for death and didn't have any point to bring back anyone when they wouldn't be around to enjoy it so they gave the stone to me. And I used it to bring someone back to life, Immediately the stone destroyed itself... I had a lot of dear friends I would have loved to have back with me but there was one person in my mind who I thought truly deserved another chance at life.. Do you know who that might have been Harry?" Harry stared at Dumbledore in shock... Surely he couldn't mean... Of course not! Harry shook his head. "No? Well Harry the person I decided to bring back is sitting in that corner" Dumbledore spoke in a soft voice. The figure in the corner stood up but didn't turn around."Harry I'd like you to meet James Potter, your father." The person in the corner turned around and walked towards Harry. "Hi Harry" he said in a voice just like Harry's. "What? How? You? I? What...?" James chuckled "I know this must be... a little hard to take in but-" "A little hard to take in? Bloody hell! Someone stealing all your chocolate frogs is hard to take in! Or not getting the results you expected in transfiguration! My dad who has been dead for 13 years is back all of a sudden and you think that might be a little hard to take in?" Sirius and Remus laughed but stopped when they saw the look James shot them. "You sure have your mothers temper!" James grinned. "I.. I do?" "Yep and her ey-" "Her eyes yes I know" Harry interrupted rolling his eyes. James and Harry grinned at eachother. Harry turned away from his dad and turned to Dumbledore. "Sir... why is you know... Sirius here... and Fudge..." Fudge spoke up "Let me explain Mr Potter and may I say it's great to see you again!" He shook Harry's hand "Anyway since James is... back we have enough evidence to prove that Sirius is not guilty. He has been re-testified and was found not guilty so he is a free man!" "That's great Sirius!" Harry exclaimed and he hugged his godfather.
Harry suddenly felt very awkward, he didn't know what to say to his dad or anything. For as long as Harry could remember this man had been dead. Was he expected to just go back to a perfect father -son relationship with him now? Would Sirius and Remus now care for him as much now that he had a father to look after him? As if Dumbledore could sense Harry's awkwardness, he spoke up, "Harry, why don't you go back to your common room? I'm sure Ron and Hermione are very concerned of your whereabouts." "Ok.." Harry was out the door and around the corner when he heard someone calling him. Harry turned around and saw his dad coming towards him. "Look Harry," James began "This must be so crazy for you but it's crazy for me to. I mean last time I saw you, you were one year old, now look at you! And I had a... a wife..." Harry looked down at his feet. "Anyway. I just want you to know that if you ever need anything I'll be just down the hall" "What?" Harry asked. "Well Dumbledore said since I don't have a house anymore and since your here that I could stay in the castle. But if that would make you uncomfortable or anything I can find somewhere else. I'm sure Sirius would be more than happy to have me living in Grimmuald place with him" "NO! I mean... I wouldn't mind if you were here.." James grinned "Great, well you better get back to your friends." "Ok, I'll talk to you later.. Dad" And with that Harry walked back to his dorm with a bounce in his step.
