Chapter One
Harry was scrubbing the kitchen floor when the doorbell was rang. "BOY! GET THE DOOR!" Harry bit back a retort on Vernon's laziness. He WAS sitting on the couch, three feet from the door. Harry got up and went to the door. He threw it open to see a boy of about his age.
The boy was very tall and had longish brown hair that reached his shoulders. He had bright blue eyes that twinkled almost like the headmaster's did. Harry looked at the boy. "Are you one of Dudley's friends? Sorry, he isn't here right now, he has gone shopping with his mother." A growl was heard behind him and Harry turned to face his uncle.
"Go finish the kitchen, Potter." Harry nodded and missed seeing the boy's eyes widen drastically.
"Are you a new friend of Dudley's? I haven't met you." Vernon asked the boy, politely.
"Actually, sir, I do not know Dudley. I am...new here, just moved in. I wanted to...meet the neighbors." The boy said with a small stutter.
"Oh, well...come on in. I am Vernon Dursley. My son is about your age and so is my...nephew, but you would do well to stay away from him, he is trouble. But Dudley is a good kid, you should like him well enough. They should be home soon." The boy nodded and followed the man into the house.
The boy sat before a strange box. It wasn't cardboard though, it looked like...plastic. It had moving pictures on it, too. The boy had already assumed the people here were muggles though so he didn't say anything and sat down on the sofa. The man asked him if he liked the "show" and the boy nodded dumbly.
The boy was being enveloped in the "show" when he noticed the raven haired boy move behind him. The skinny boy walked to the stairs and started to go up them, not even glancing at him.
The blue eyed boy looked at the man. "Mr. Dursley, where is your...bathroom?" Vernon nodded and pointed up the stairs. "Up the stairs, second door on your...left." He stood and walked slowly up the stairs.
He walked down the narrow hallway and found the bathroom but walked past it to the room at the end of the hall. He knocked on the door. Harry swung open the door and said, "Yes, Uncle Ver...yes?"
"Are...excuse me for asking, but are you related to James Potter?"
Harry looked at the boy. He looked a little familiar but he was sure he didn't go to Hogwarts. "Uhm...yes, I am. Harry Potter. Is there something that I can help you with?" He asked.
"Are you a...squib?" The boy asked with wide eyes.
Harry laughed. "No...I don't think I have ever heard of a Potter BEING a squib. What school do you go to?"
The boy just looked at him. "Uhm, do you know how I can get in touch with James? It is...important. I woke up outside next to your drive way and I...can't remember anything."
Harry glared at him. "If you know how to get in touch with ' James' I would appreciate knowing. What's your name?"
"Sirius, I am Sirius Black."
Harry's eyes widened. Two years. It had been two years since his godfather, Sirius Black had died. And...he had gotten over it for the most part. He wasn't in the mood for jokes though. He suddenly sneered and pulled the boy into the room by his collar.
Sirius was flung onto the bed and when he recovered from the surprise he looked up to find himself on the wrong side of a wand. "Listen, you peice of shit, I don't know if you are a death eater or just a sick jerk. I am NOT in the mood for jokes. James Potter and Sirius Black are both dead and I don't appreciate your joke. EXPLAIN!"
"I AM NOT DEAD!" Sirius yelled. "I don't know what kind of joke you are playing but I DEMAND to see Albus Dumbledore. NOW!"
Harry glared. "Gladly, I want him here too. I will NOT be teased about the death of my father or godfather." Harry then walked over to his desk and pulled a twinkling peice of parchment out. It was last years Christmas present from Dumbledore. It would allow them to correspond in case of an emergency.
Harry picked up a quill and started to write. "Professor Dumbledore, someone is here saying they are Sirius. Get over here quick, I am NOT in the mood for games."
Harry then turned to the boy. "I just wrote him, he will be here soon. " The boy nodded and made himself comfortable on the bed. Harry sat down in his chair with his wand still aimed at the boy.
"What is your name?" The imposter asked.
"Harry James Potter, son of James and Lily Potter, don't play dumb."
Suddenly a whoosh was heard from down stairs and the ground shook. Suddenly Harry heard his uncle's yelling. "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
"I am here to see Harry."
"GET OUT! WE DON'T NEED FREAKS LIKE....." Vernon's rant was cut off by a swift "Silencio!" Harry heard someone starting up the stairs. He leaned out his bedroom door.
"HEADMASTER! He is in here." A second later, Albus walked into the room. Sirius stood up from the bed.
Albus looked at him and pointed his wand at the blue-eyed boy. "Finite Incantatem." Nothing happened. "GLAMOREX!" Nothing happened.
"Who are you, child?" Albus asked while looking at the boy. His eyes were twinkling madly.
"HEADMASTER! You know me! I...I am Sirius Black."
Albus looked at the boy. "Is there something you can tell me that will let me know you aren't an imposter?"
"I don't know! The last thing I remember was...hehe, we turned Snivellus into a girl. You gave us two weeks detention with Filch."
Albus looked at him carefully. "Where does Remus stay on certain nights of the month?" Sirius looked at Harry suspiciously.
"It is okay, he already knows about Remus."
"We....he goes to the Shrieking Shack for his transformation."
Albus looked at the boy and then walked over to him. Harry thought for a moment he would curse the imposter but instead he grabbed him and pulled him into a hug. When they pulled apart Albus looked at Harry.
"Harry, this is....this is really Sirius." Harry looked at the boy and shook his head.
"No, it isn't. That is impossible because Sirius is....he's dead, he died in the Department of Mysteries last year...I was...I was there, I saw him."
Albus looked at Harry and walked over to him. He sat Harry on the bed and knelt down in front of him.
"Harry, I....already know the explanation of this. You see, since then I have looked for what happens to people after they fall through the veil. I...I know now. When someone falls through the veil it is kind of like....being around a dementor. All the happiness is sucked out of you, you are in...purgatory if you will. But....something else happens. The happiest part of life that a person had...seperates and starts a person at that age.... That is what happened to Sirius. He was happiest at age seventeen so he was returned to that age and...he was returned to the place that needed him the most, here with you. He....doesn't have the memories after being seventeen though. It's...a whole new life for him."
Harry looked at Sirius. "How long does he have to be here?"
Albus smiled. "I meant he would start a WHOLE new life. He will live for...as long as he is meant to. But...he will grow up with you."
Sirius was standing in the background completely confused. He was pondering what they said was happening when he saw a blur and it smacked into him. He looked down and saw Harry hugging him. "What is...."
"I missed you, Sirius."
"What? I...I don't even know you!"
Harry pulled back and looked down sadly. "I...I'm sorry.
"I'm s...can someone just tell me what is going on?!" Sirius asked.
Dumbledore nodded. He then went into a long story about what had happened between Sirius's graduation and his death. When he finished Harry was in tears and so was Sirius. "I...I...I can't believe that....Peter betrayed us."
"I know. It was surprising to me also. But...what do you want to do?"
"What choices do I have?" Sirius asked.
"Well...your name was never cleared, my boy. I...you can't be Sirius Black. You will have to go by a different name."
"Why?"
Albus frowned. "Because you are still a convict in the eyes of the ministry. They will put you in Azkaban before you can bat an eyelash. How I see it you have two options, I can put in another school, far away or...you can go to Hogwarts under a different name as a transfer student. But you couldn't go into Gryffindor."
"WHY NOT?!" Sirius asked.
"Because, Harry's friends would figure it out. You would be there too long to be noticed. And with Harry being around you it would give too much away. So I will have to put you in another house."
Sirius thought. "I...I don't know Harry but...he is James's son which makes him great in my book, I will stay at Hogwarts so I can be with him."
Harry looked up at him and smiled brightly. "And for that matter, I will go in disguise along WITH Sirius. I am NOT going to stay away from him. He is my godfather but I guess that title doesn't fit. He is my friend though and I will stand by him. Where he goes I go."
"Harry...I don't see how we could do that. Voldemort would search for you everywhere. And he would learn you are at Hogwarts, yours AND Sirius' covers would be taken away."
Harry smiled. "Last year Professor Flitwick showed us a VERY cool charm. It is a CLONING charm. Except...the person sees through their clone's eyes. I can GIVE myself to Voldemort."
Sirius shook his head, ignoring Albus's wildly twinkling eyes. "NO! You also feel PAIN through your clone. When he killed you you would go through a TREMENDOUS amount of pain. I am NOT going to let you do that for me, someone you don't even know."
Harry smiled and so did Albus. "But, Sirius, it doesn't ONLY help me. It can also help the order. If Voldemort thinks that he had killed me and the rest of the world, no one WOULD be looking for us, Voldemort especially. Then I could take him by SURPRISE! Also, by doing this I might be able to detect the SPY we have been looking for!"
"Harry, it is a good idea and it would be advantagous. But...you would lose Hermione and Ron's friendship. You couldn't be Gryffindor seeker anymore."
"Ahh....I can make friends with them again. If they are true friends they will become friends with me no matter what my name is." Albus nodded.
"Are you sure about this Harry?" Albus asked.
Harry nodded. "I am positive." Albus nodded. "So be it." Harry packed up his essential bags, it would look better if it was unplanned. They then walked down stairs and obliviated Vernon of their presence. Harry left a note for his family.
"Dursleys, I am leaving to go kill the man that killed my parents. I will return when I am done. -Harry." The trio then left number 4 and once outside of the wards, apparated to Hogwarts. Upon their arrival Harry and Sirius followed Harry up to the headmaster's office. They walked inside and Harry nodded. "Well...let's get this over with." Albus nodded and aimed his wand at Harry. "Clonus Harry Potter Apparaceum TOM RIDDLE!" A blinding flash later Harry Potter was on the floor, unconscious, and a clone of him disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Sirius lifted the sleeping boy in his arms and carried him to the couch in the office, lying him down. "Good luck, Harry." He said.
