Hey, guys don't get to excited if you are receiving emails about any updates about this story, it isn't an update just me going through the chapters I have already written and improving them mainly spelling and grammar possibly a few descriptions if I decide I don't like them nothing major to affect the plot. Also I have noticed in my travels through fan fiction something my fan fiction have been missing... can you guess? Yes, it's a disclaimer but that is because one of two reasons one I am stupid and didn't realise and two I am J.K Rowling (kidding!) Amazing if I was but unfortunately I am not. But anyways hello and welcome to my first fan fiction which now has been up over a year if you are new to this fan fiction I hope you like it, amazing what ideas can appear in odd places (this one in a year 10 french class) Thanks again guys for supporting me your reviews, follows, favourites just randomly clicking on this fan fiction so I get a view makes my days :D So no further ado a new and slightly improved chapter 1...


Harry Potter

And the

Undead Dad


Chapter 1


I look out of the circular attic window onto the quiet road just beyond our neatly cut hedge onto the world beyond mine, waiting in the slowly sinking sunlight. Waiting for the one person who could make the fact I have been stuck in this house for almost a year in hiding feel like nothing at all. Sirius Black, my brother in so many ways. I feel so trapped and helpless to the war when stuck in this house with only the job of keeping low and loving my family: wife -Lily and my one year old child; Harry. The thought that occupies my head is the wish for one more day to walk outside beyond my hedge neatly cut hedge (there's not that much more to go when you're stuck inside all day everyday) and just go for a beer on tap at the local pub -or any pub even the Hog Head- to talk to my friends in person, to be able to find out news about the war for myself but most of all to see my four best friends- my brothers in arms- in the whole world safe non worried and free just like we were in Hogwarts ruling the school but a world full on unsafe worried and trapped would do. Even a glimpse of my arch-enemy Severus Snape (buttrumpet) would be a relief; anything to stop this feeling in my stomach that my Hogwarts days is some massive wonderful dream from long ago. Taking a deep sigh I turn and walk away from this window the only way I get even a small glimpse into the outside world (well that's a lie I do get to see Padfoot through the mirrors we used to use in detention) before Lily starts to panic that Lord Voldermort has found us and has killed me; I don't want that to happen in her, not in her current state.

I walk slowly down the creaky wooden stairs onto the cream carpeted floor at the bottom; my head still in the land of Hogwarts were there are witches, wizards and magical feasts to goblin and ghost and magical beasts. It's all that I love; it's all like a dream at Hogwarts, Hogwarts. Man I wish I was back. Had it all been a dream? Of course not it wasn't a dream I have too much evidence I guess it was a place I could call home. There were two main plain facts why Hogwarts couldn't be a dream: one, I have all my Hogwarts stuff and old books under my bed (I couldn't have bought that stuff in a muggle store) and second I can do magic. As I was thinking I wasn't paying attention to my familiar surroundings so I look with slight jolt at the pictures on the chocolate coloured wall to my right where photos of all shapes and sizes smile and laugh at me. There's one of mine and Lily's wedding surrounded my our family and friends, little baby Harry's birth in St Mungo's Hospital with me and Lily beaming at the mini miracle in our arms looking like a pink blob. Another of me and my three best friends Sirius, Remus and Peter or better known as Padfoot, Moony and Wormtail under our tree in the Hogwarts grounds unfortunately it's got buttrumpet in the back ground but at least his trousers have "fallen" down also some smaller pictures of my dad and mum at their wedding and some muggle pictures of Lily's family.

Now I can hear Lily trying to teach Harry to talk from the kitchen as my feet touch the wooden floor at the bottom of the stairs.

"Mama. Come on Harry say Mama for me."

I always enjoy watching my little son trying to speak new words as his face goes all red as he tries to concentrate on the words as if he scared that one wrong sound will be the end of the world. Rounding the corner, I can see Lily sitting on a dinning chair leaning forward her long red hair covering one side of her face as she says the word mama very slowly to Harry so he can understand.

"Dad-da"

I laugh, "Dada more" was his first sentence and it seems to be the only words he can say since whenever I see him which is allot. Lily sits up and rolls her perfect green eyes to the ceiling looking even more beautiful than ever. She turns towards me smiling and says in her musical voice

"James, do you have interrupt me when I am trying to teach Harry to talk?"

Smiling and laughing I answer

"Of course honey if not Harry would explode of concentration and I'm telling you now I'm not clearing up."

"James you are so immature sometimes or frankly all the time you cann get away with it."

I reach into my pocket pull out my mahogany wand and flick it through the air

"Avis."

A small blue bird erupts from the tip of the wand then soars around the room tweeting happily, smiling I say back to Lily with a crooked smile

"That is why you love me."

A small laugh escapes my little black haired boy right on cue he says

"Dada more"

Lily and I burst out laughing unable to keep a serious face anymore.

"He'll be a great wizard if that amount of eagerness to learn, he might go into Slytherin." Says Lily between laughter.

"Nonsense he is being brave about seeing new magic. He'll go into Gryffindor."

Just then a soft knock came upon the door. We all freeze the the laughter escapes in seconds as I slowly I creep towards the shut door placing my wand against the frame I say to the wooden panels

"Who's there?"

"It is I Sirius Black, you best friend often called Padfoot. I am Harry's Godfather and one of the four creators of the marauder's map which is currently in Filch's office after Wormtail tried to sneak down to the Kitchen for a midnight snack."

I wrench open the door quickly convinced it will revel my best friend and it did I give him a huge hug like I haven't seen him in years rather than two weeks and say

"God Padfoot it has been too long."

Letting go of him I call into the house at Lily telling her that it's just Padfoot and it's safe. Padfoot walks through our door and enters the house and says

"Now where's that little Godson of mine I haven't seen him in absolutely ages."

"Sirius! I haven't seen you in ages. Did you get my letter? You never wrote back."

"Sorry Lily but I had deatheaters outside my house from dusk to dawn for the past two weeks. It wasn't safe to send a letter then. When they final gave up on the place I was going to see you I a few days anyway so there wasn't much point in risking giving up my hiding place for a confirmed date."

"Ma-ma!"

All our heads whip around to the kitchen from where the voice came from listening for more.

"Ma-ma, Dad-da"

I tilt my head back and laugh and say to Lily

"Look Lils if you leave him he will figure how to get you back."

"Ma-ma!"

"I'd better go and see what he wants. Sorry. Sirius lovely seeing you again I'll come back when Harry's asleep to catch up."

With that she walks into the kitchen cooing at Harry her long Hair dancing down her back. I turn back round to Padfoot come on you can see Harry later I have something I want to talk to you about. Here we can go into the living room. I walk past the Kitchen and into the room next door a fairly large room with blue sofas and an owl stand where our owl (Morgan) sit her snowy head under her wing fast asleep.

"Please sit."

I stand not sitting down till Padfoot was comfortable on the sofa and then I say to him,

"As you are well aware I have been stuck in this house for over a year now and I just want one day to myself and no one to worry about me so I hope most dearly that you will help me."

"Of course I would help you but you, your son and Lily are in danger what am I supposed to do! Leaving would be like abandoning them in their most time of need! What's to suppose something happened them how would you live with yourself."

"I wouldn't. But imagine this was the opposite way round imagine you were stuck in a house for over a year with only the rare visitor would you want me to help you to have one day of freedom?"

"That's unfair. I would never be stuck in my own house with just creature, it would kill me. I have no one there I love."

"Please Sirius please."

"Well I won't if you start calling me Sirius it's bad enough that Lily can't call me Padfoot."

"So you will then, Paddy."

"Fine, I guess I have no choice."

My heart beat faster now finally I can start planning for a day of freedom a day for myself.

"Thank you."

For the next half an hour we talk in low voices as Harry screams died down as Lily calmed him, by the time he was quiet me and Padfoot had made up our minds on how we were going to do this.

"So I'll see you again on 30st October late I'll meet you in the garden for the change."

"Fine but you're paying for the ingredients I am not wasting my money on this."


I hope the improvements were alright and didn't mess up the world I tried to create in your head before just further give it detail. Did you guys catch the starkid references? There from AVPM and APMS, none from AVPSY as I haven't watched the whole thing yet. If you have no idea what I on about then go and watch them, if your HP mad then you'll love them.
