Godric's Hollow
It was a cool winter night in Godric's Hollow. The Moonlight was reflecting off of the snow, and famlies everywhere were just enjoying each others precense. One man sat in his study writing a letter, to his faithful brother, James Sirius Potter. The Man was almost the splitting image of his own father, Harry Potter. Expect there was one difference, Albus didn't have a scar on his forehead.
Albus was just finishing his letter to his brother when a couple of little girls, about the ages of fifthteen(Anna), thirteen(Lily), and eleven(Hermione), came into his study. The oldest of the group looked up from the ground, drilling her emerald green eyes into her fathers. "Dad, when is mummy coming home?" she asked. The other girls that were with her looked up at their father and nodded their heads.
The forty-five year old man, Albus, sighed and motioned for them to pull up a chair. "Anna, Hermione, Lily, did I ever tell you what happened to your grandfather Harry, during the Second Wizarding War?" he asked, with an air of calmness. Albus seemed to have gained the patience of the Great Wizard he was named after, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledor. And The arrogance of Severus Snape.
They nodded their heads no. They had been wanting to hear the story since their first years at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As soon as they walked in they were greated by many applause. Of course they had heard the rumors of what had happened, but never the complete truth.
"I thought as much. Since I will not allow you to hear the awful lies, that people have sprung up during the years. I will tell you what truly happened." He announced.
"But where is mummy?" Hermione asked him.
He sighed but knew he would have to tell them eventually." Hermione, By the end of this story, you will know."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out his wand and pointed at the air. Instantly several comfy chairs appeard. They all sat down and he started to tell his tell.
June 15, 1996
Private Drive
It was a warm summer day on Private drive. The sun was shining very bright and there was a slight breeze. A boy of the age of sixteen was sitting outside under a tree dreaming. His Green eye's were twitching under the skin and a lightning bolt scar on his forehead was glowing, through his long hair. This boy was not normal though. He was a wizard, and a powerful one at that.
------------------------------------Department of mysteries----------------------------------------
"NOOOOOOOOO! Sirius! Sirius! Come Back!" He yelled while being held by someone from behind. "Let Me GO! I got to get him! He's just right there! Let me go!" He yelled once again. Everything stopped, there was a breeze but there was no wind. A boy with Green eyes and a lightning bolt scar on his head was rising into the air. This boys' name was Harry Potter. His eyes began to flash between green and blue, and he continued to rise into the air. He turned his head around to the veil, and started floating towards it.
"Harry, don't touch it!," called a man with a sad tone. He had long white hair and blue eyes, his robes were swirling around him as the wind started to pick up around him. This man was the most powerful wizard of all time, His name was Albus Percival Willful Brian Dumbledore "HARRY!" Dumbledore yelled running towards him. "Calm down, Harry please calm down. Harry, Sirius is gone. He can't come back." He said with that same sad tone.
"I can save him, Dumbledore, I know I can!" He said reaching out towards the veil. He touched it and a strange aura of magical energy surrounded it. It began to shimmer and glow and send off waves of energy, sending Harry flying through the air. Harry dropped to the floor with a dull Thud unconscious.
"Harry!? Harry!? He's unconscious. The Veil drained him of all his strength. Remus! Take him out of here, Straight to Headquarters. I will warn the ministry that Voldemort was here." He said without the normal twinkle in his eye. Harry what have you done? He asked himself with a befuddled look.
"Is it true Albus? Is he what you said he was? Do they know?" He asked. Dumbledore just shook his head. "Should I tell him, Albus? Should I tell him when he wakes? He deserves to know the truth." He said with a grim look on his face. James. Lily. I made a promise and I intend to keep it. No matter what it takes I will watch over him. Also Sirius, If you're gone, I'll be damned to let him die to.
"No Remus. I will tell him. Just make sure he gets his rest. This boy just saved are lives. If Voldemort knew what Harry and the others could do he would not have been so lenient on them." he said nodding towards Remus. "Now Go Remus!" He yelled, And with that there was a echoing crack.
*-------------------------------------------Present-------------------------------------------------*
There was tears coming out of his eyes now, as he woke. He got up and walked back towards the house, looking at his watch he noticed that it was almost time to leave. He ran back upstairs and packed his school trunk. He had been waiting for this since he had woke up in his room in grimauald place. He had been told by Dumbledore that he would tell him everything he could when they came to get him to take him to the Burrow. I can't believe I'm finally leaving this crap hole, he thought to himself with a smile. It was now 11:30, the letter he had got from his friend Ron Weasly said that they would be here at Twelve to take him. He continued to pack, making sure he got everything he would need. He ran down stairs as he heard his uncle Vernon call.
"Harry would you like some lunch before you go?" His aunt petunia asked pointing towards the table where the was sandwiches, turkey, potatoes, and other stuff that his aunt usually made.
They had been unusually kind ever since he got back. He took his seat across from Dudley his cousin, and began eating. "Thanks Petunia. This is really nice of you," He added looking at the table again. "I have to go in a little bit, so I will just go get my stuff and bring it down stairs." he said wanting to get away from his weird aunt and uncle as quick as possible. He was only living here because his parents had died, fighting against Voldemort Aka Tom Riddle. That was how he had got his scar and also why he had to stay at this crap hole.
CRACK' "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT?" Uncle Vernon shouted at the top of his voice. He looked around and gave a little squeak as he saw a wise, old, and powerful wizard. Albus Dumbledore.
"Now. There is no need to be rude. Harry are you ready to go?" He hollered up the staircase, while looking around at everything in the house.
"I'm coming Professor." he yelled running down the stairs, two at a time, while dragging his trunk behind him. "Hello Professor. Are we going now?" He asked hopeful.
"Yes I think we are. I just need a quick word with your uncle." He said with a twinkle in his eye. He turned his head towards Vernon. "Now Sit Down And Be Quite. You Better Listen Here Dursly." Dumbledore said, but seemed to get his point across without having to yell at the stubborn man. "I left you a note with Harry fifthteen years ago and you didn't do what I said. Now did you Durable?" He asked calmly.
"No! But neither is it you place to tell me how to do things in my own house!" he snapped back.
"No it is not my place, but remember, We are always watching you,"
"GET OUT NOW YOU FREAK!"
Dumbledore took a calming breath. Harry had never seen his Professor on the verge of yelling before. "Dursley, I'm trying to be nice. But if you refuse to listen to me, I might just send Hagrid for a little visit next summer."
Dursley opened and closed his mouth several times before he spoke," I will not have this get out now!"
"Dobby!" Dumbledore said calmly. A few moments later The little house elf, with giant eyes and ears, stood before them.
"Yes Professor?"
"Could you please fetch Hagird for me?" He asked. Dobby nodded and disappeared with a Crack. A few moments later Hagird and Dobby reappeard.
The Dursleys gave a squek of fear and started stuttering. Dudley, being the smart one out of them all, jumped out of his chair and ran straight up the stairs. "Yes Professor Dumbledore?"
"Never mind Hagrid, I think I got my point across," He said calmly. Hagrid shrugged his shoulders and disappeard with Dobby.
"Good. Now we will be going." He said. "Grab my arm Harry and we will be off to the Burrow." He said holding his arm out. Harry took it and with a 'CRACK' they were gone.
Harry opened his eyes and he was at his very favorite place in the world. 'The Burrow'
********************Department of
Mysteries*******************************
A ragged looking young
man stepped out of an archway to find a door right in front of him.
Okay well I guess I'll have to talk to Dumbledore about when he wants
me to tell Harry, the man thought to himself. He reached out and
opened the door to find him self in the Ministry Of Magic. What am I
doing here, he thought to himself. He transformed into a big black
dog and ran to the lifts to get out of there. When he reached the top
floor he looked around and found that no one was there. That's odd
usually the ministry is packed. I wonder what happened to everyone.
Maybe the Prophet will tell me, he thought to himself. He ran over to
a trash can and grabbed a Daily Prophet. On the front page it showed
a ragged looking man, with the title Sirius Black Found Not Guilty.
Below it read:
Today on the 15, of June, we mourn a hero.
Sirius Black. We have just got from recent reports that Black was
indeed not the murderer of Peter Pettigrew. We are sorry but Sirius
Black is dead.
"What I'm not dead." he said to himself.
I better get to Dumbledore, he'll be able to sort this out. 'CRACK'
and he was gone.
He appeared a few minutes later outside the walls of Hogwarts. Okay, now for the hard part. He said to himself. He SHIFTED back into his animal form and ran up to the castle. He ran through one of the secret passages that he and the rest of the Marauders had found back in their days of school. He headed straight towards the Headmasters office and gave the password to the gargoyle. "Phoenix" he said clearly, the gargoyle stepped to the side to allow him entrance, he ran up the steps and into the office. He wasn't there, he SHIFTED back into his human form and walked to the golden perch where Fawkes the Phoenix sat. "Does anyone know where the headmaster is?" he asked the many portraits.
"Awe, Sirius. He was at headquarters the last time I saw him." the portrait on the wall said looking down into the mans eyes.
Sirius looked up at the sound of the voice, It was his great-grandfather Phineus Black. "He was not there, I went there before I came here. Could you check again?" he asked looking at the portrait. It nodded and disappeared into the background. It reappeared a few minutes later with a smile on it's face.
"The headmaster was not there. Only the oldest of the Weasleys. He told me that Dumbledore would be dropping Harry of at the Burrow tomorrow." he confirmed.
Sirius nodded and looked around the room searching for a way to get a letter to him. His eyes stopped on a couple of portraits he had not noticed before. They read "Headmasters of Hogwarts School during the years of 'Unknown', Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Unbelievable, Why hasn't Dumbledore asked them for information? He thought to himself staring at the pictures. "Hey!" he yelled up to the pictures. "Hey Gryffindor!" he yelled again hoping to speak to the ancient wizards. Nothing happened and he was becoming extremely annoyed. The sun was already rising over the mountains. He looked back towards the pictures and saw the Gryffindor's eyes were open looking at him.
"YES?" He asked in a powerful, and deep voice. At the sound of his voice Slytherin and the rest of the founders opened their eyes as well. All the portraits opened their eyes in shock at the sound of his voice also.
Slytherin looked down with a menacing look on his face, WHO DARES TO AWAKING ME?" He called down from his portrait.
Sirius stood shock still at the sound of their voices. "I-I did," he stuttered.
The founders stared at him with their knowing looks, "WHY? " They asked in unison.
Sirius seemed to remember why now, "I was wondering if I could ask you something Gryffindor." He said boring his eyes into the wise man. He turned back to Fawkes and wrote down something on a letter. "Take this to dumbledore," he said handing him the letter. The phoenix vanished in a burst of flame. He turned back towards Gryffindor and started speaking.
The Burrow
***************************The Burrow*****************************
He looked his eyes upon a slanted house that looked like a big mess; its name was The Burrow. He had loved this place ever since his second year at Hogwarts, when Gred and Forge, AKA, Fred and George, Ron's older brothers, and Ron himself, had taken it upon themselves to rescue Harry from his uncles' house. They had showed up at his window in a Flying Ford Angelina, at 12:00 at night, on his birthday. He remembered it all too well. The good thing was that he didn't have to stay at the muggles.
"Harry!" Someone yelled across the yard. Before he knew what was going on he was been hugged by the most beautiful girl in the world, Ginny Weasley. He loved it when she hugged him. He could smell the Strawberries, from the shampoo she used. He looked up to see her brown eyes looking back into his. "Oh, Harry I missed you so much." She said kissing him with all the love she could muster.
"I missed you to Ginny,"He said giving her a hug At this point he noticed Ron and Hermione standing by the rest of the Weasley Family. "Hey guys what have you two been doing these last few weeks?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER! What are you imposing?" she yelled. "Ronald and me have been sitting on are arses for the past week waiting for 'The chosen Git' to show up or even write to us!" She Yelled at him.
"Harry you know we didn't do anything you wouldn't do don't you?" He asked with a jerk of his head. Ron took off at a run and pulled him into a brotherly hug. "Look Harry it's not your fault. Also I'm sorry, we miss him to but you have to learn to get through stuff like this." Hermione said with a touch of sadness in her voice.
"Come on everyone let us get into the house. Come on. Yes you to Ginny." Dumbledore said as he saw Ginny trying to sneak off to one of the Sheds. Dumbledore glanced around and found Remus Lupin, Arthur Weasley, Molly Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Charlie Weasley and Bill Weasley. I guess the rumors are true, he thought. "I'm sorry for you loss Molly, I am sure Percy went down with a fight." he said with a soft tone.
Harry walked into the house hand N' hand with Ginny. Harry had asked Ginny to out with him during the Summer. They had been such good friends for years, and She was there to help him after Sirius' death. "Okay as you all should know by now, Harry showed extreme power at the Ministry. I am about to tell you why, and how. Before we begin let us take a moment to remember are fallen loved one-" Dumbledore did not get the chance to finish because of a flash of flame followed by a note.
Dumbledore
Dumbledore I need to speak to you. It's an emergency. I got the prophet and it said I was dead .I'm outside The Burrow right now. If you tell anybody Dumbledore tell only Moony, He deserves to know. Please come.
With concerned thoughts,
Padfoot
*****************************Somewhere
in the woods behind the Burrow*****************
Dumbledore read
and re-read this letter over and over again three times before he
realized who it was from. "Remus come with me. Everyone else
stay here. We will be back in within the hour." He told them
with a look of concern in his voice. He walked outside the Burrow and
towards the forest that surrounded it. "Remus. Sirius is alive.
He sent me that letter." muttered Dumbledore as he continued
walking towards the spot of magic.
"That's impossible Dumbledore me and you both know that he was hit by the 'Kedavra' curse, and then he fell through that veil." he replied looking concerned but also excited at the same time. They continued walking for a while until they came to a clearing in the forest. In the middle of the clearing sat a Big Black Dog. They stared at the dog for a few minutes and then all of a sudden it changed into a human. In its place stood none other than a younger version of Sirius Black. "Si..Sirius?" Remus muttered tearfully.
"Yes Moony. You are not going to be the last Marauder left. Dumbledore can you explain what's going on? One second I'm dueling with Beletrix and the next I'm walking out of an archway in the Ministry Of Magic. I found a newspaper also and it Said that I had Died. What does it mean?" he asked.
Dumbledore starred at Sirius a long time before he answered," Sirius before I answer your question let me ask you a question. Do you Remember anything at all between the time you were dueling Belletrix and you walked out of the archway? Any kind of burst of magic? Maybe you saw someone? Anything Sirius before I answer your question?"
Sirius just looked at Dumbledore before he answered," Yes actually I do remember something. It felt weird though, It was like a huge burst of Magic. When I felt it my inside sort of felt whole again. Then I..I...I saw Harry." He said looking down.
"Sirius you did die, you were hit by the Kedavra curse and you fell through a magic veil. I am guessing that the veil was some kind of warped time frame. Also the power you felt was Harry. He was surging with magical power. When he touched the veil it must of transferred his power back to you, because he fell unconscious afterwards. Before you ask Sirius, no I have not told him yet. James and Lily should be here in a few minutes," he finished softly with a look of empathy. "Sirius, it was not your fault. You will be able to make everything up to him in a minute.
Sirius' eyes looked up in shock. "Wait you mean to tell me that Harry really is what you said he was? And that James and Lily really are to? Dumblerdore I went to Hogwarts and spoke with them. Godric and the others. They said they chose him and some others but I didn't believe them. Dumbledore, you had better damn well be telling the truth. Also Dumbledore I have had enough excitement for one day let's just get back to the Burrow. And don't worry I'll come in with James a Lily" he finished with a smile. It's unbelievable what that kid has done. I mean I knew he was special. But I never believed what Dumbledore said about him, he thought to himself.
"Let us go Remus, We need to leave Sirius to his thoughts." he said looking at Lupin Mysteriously. Honestly I don't think he believed me when I told him about it. When you live to be as old as I am you just take things as you hear them, and then you go figure it out, he thought to himself with a chuckle. He started off back towards the Burrow with Lupin behind him. "Lupin what is on your mind?" he asked gently coming to a halt.
He looked at Dumbledore quizzically, "How did you know I wanted to ask you something?" Dumbledore just looked at him waiting. "Wait. Don't answer that, were we really that bad?" He said with a chuckle, Dumbledore just smiled even brighter with that 'If you only knew what you four did' look on his face. "Okay. Look there is no way in hell that Harry could have pulled of something like that. I looked over most of his OWL's, Dumbledore I know he got Good grades but he couldn't have done that. Not even you could have done that." Dumbledore just chuckled. "Albus? I've known you for a long time. Now if you're holding out on me, I will be extremely, severely, pissed." he groaned.
Dumbledore just smiled at that," You will know soon enough Remus. You will know soon enough"
