Chapter One

Dumbledore looked through the crystal that he used to watch over Harry Potter and sighed. Minerva said "we have to tell him Dumbledore" he sighed again before saying "if only it was that simple. Voldermort believes he is dead and so does Harry. But he plays with him because of the reminder. Sirius told me he would tell him when the time is right" she nodded and said "what about Remus. Does he know?" Dumbledore shook his head and said "I think Sirius wants to tell them together. Now we have to get Harry away from there, he is getting more and more unstable. He always seems to look into space for no reason and smile" Minerva smiled and said "I agree. I will fetch him immediately and take him to the headquarters and he can stay with Remus and the other people who enter. I bet Padfoot will gladly go with Harry. They have become inseparable. But we have to warn Severus about Harry's arrival" Dumbledore looked surprised and asked "why do we need to do that?" she chuckled and said "you're too worried about your young protégé to notice the romance of your spy and werewolf Albus. They are going on three months but I haven't told you. I will inform them and then collect Padfoot and Harry. I will tell Remus that Harry has a dog exactly like Sirius was" Dumbledore nodded and said "inform all of them that I will join you with Miss Granger shortly. I think Harry might need friends so I will inform the Weasleys to join us tonight" she nodded and used the ancient magic she and Dumbledore used to get out of the school when they were in a hurry.

When Minerva walked into Grimmauld Place, Severus and Remus were in the kitchen having some morning tea. Remus stood up and said "this is a pleasant surprise Minerva" she chuckled and said "sit back down on his lap Remus. I already noticed it and forced Severus to tell me how long it has been. But that isn't the reason I am here. Dumbledore has finally decided to let Harry out of Surrey and I am going to collect him along with a dog that is exactly like Sirius. Harry doesn't do anything without him now so I thought you needed to be warned. Severus it is up to you if Harry knows. Also Dumbledore and Miss Granger are coming. The Weasleys are coming tonight so we need to set up for that, as he expects me to be here as well" they both nodded and Minerva vanished and appeared next to Harry's house in her cat form.

When she sat next to Harry he smiled and whispered in the corner of his mouth "hello professor" before all three went into the house and up into his bedroom.

As soon as they entered Minerva changed back and said "hello Harry. How is Padfoot?" Harry chuckled and said "Dumbledore still keeps an eye on everything I do" she nodded and then said "well I am not here for a chat. I actually came to inform you that as of now you are finished being in this house for the holidays" he smiled and said "I know. I heard your conversation to Remus. It seems that I am connected to that house now" she laughed and used her wand to pack all Harry's things before releasing Hedwig and told her to go to Grimmauld Place.

When everything was ready she used her ancient magic to transport herself Harry and Sirius to Grimmauld Place with a note on Harry's bed telling his aunt and uncle he had left for the year.

When they had arrived Remus helped Harry to Sirius' bedroom and said "I think you would like his old room" Harry hugged him while the tears started to fall when they both heard "I hope you two ain't this bad when I finally give life the flick" both jumped and turned and saw Sirius standing there in all his glory. Harry was in his arms in a second and asked "you were my dog weren't you?" he nodded and said "come on Harry. I couldn't get back while you were screaming but I forced my way out as fast as I could" Harry smiled and then mocked scolded and said "I guess I can't use this bedroom then" all three laughed then as Severus walked in. Harry didn't notice him but Sirius did and said "does this mean you two finally got together?" Remus nodded meekly and Harry looked up and said "well at least the slimy-git can't tease me now" Severus laughed and said "blackmail Potter. I never thought you had it in you. But I suppose Lily had it so why can't you" Harry said "what's this about my lovely mother?" he laughed and said "after the day you saw her in the pensive she decided to get back at me. She told me about how she really did care for your father but if I told anyone I would lose big time" I spread the word as I think she expected and sure enough the next thing I knew everyone believed that I sought her out for potions help" Harry laughed and said "that would have made your ego drop" he nodded and replied "I wonder what she would say if she knew she was right when she said 'Severus you drool so much over Remus when are you going to tell him and make his day' I actually replied 'he thinks I am worthless. How can I tell him how I feel' she was almost as annoying as you and your two little followers" "I am not a follower professor. Actually the number of times Harry has tried to force Ron and I to not get involved is almost as bad as the things I got them to do" came an irritable Hermione. Harry laughed while Dumbledore said "I was wondering how much longer it would be until you changed back Sirius" "well seeing as these two decided to have a cry session over me it cut down immensely, even if I think Remus did it on purpose knowing how much I hate that stuff" Remus said "I didn't notice it was you considering I believed you were dead" Dumbledore laughed and said "considering he went straight to Harry the moment he returned says something" Harry then said "I haven't been completely honest with everyone" they all looked at him and he said "since Sirius went through the archway I pursued Wormtail so that Sirius would be free even if he couldn't know it. Anyway I caught the filthy rat a week ago and I am hoping that I can get your help to take him in Dumbledore?" Dumbledore said "how did you manage this without my knowledge?" Harry smiled and replied "if I told you then it would give another secret away" Dumbledore said "you must do these things the moment I ain't watching" Harry said "well I wish I did have some privacy sir" everyone laughed and Mrs Black screamed out. Sirius and Harry walked up to her and she screamed "they told me you were finally dead blood traitor" Sirius replied calmly "mother it will take Bellatrix more then that to defeat me" she looked shocked and said "your own blood tried to end you?" Harry replied "yes she did and she helped Dumbledore and I prove Voldermort is back" she smiled and said "he will purify the wizarding world" Harry smiled and said "for a half blood. I am surprised you like him" she looked surprised and asked "what do mean by that boy?" Harry replied "I mean his father was a muggle and when he was at school he was under that name. But in my second year at Hogwarts I fought him whilst he was still using his muggle father's name" she was shocked before she asked "you're lying aren't you?" Harry shook his head and said "I never lie Mrs Black" she smiled and said "I never thought you had such respect child. But I guess being the son of a daughter of two squib's and have ancient blood I guess you really are worthy of what my son asked the night before I was told he was dead" Harry looked at Sirius and Sirius said "I will tell you later. By the way the hollow that you were born in has finally rebuilt itself" Mrs Black said "so that hollow was truly destroyed along with the two most powerful youngsters" Sirius nodded and Harry asked "I am wondering Mrs Black why do you yell at everyone?" she laughed and said "I guess I thought you would think I was soft if I didn't. But if you want to move me then place me in the room Sirius" he nodded and asked "how do I remove you mum?" she smiled and said "you need to use the palm of your left hand as it is your heritage that will remove it" he nodded and Harry helped Sirius as he did as he was told and moved the picture to a room Harry hadn't noticed before, but knew it was where the Black's kept all their books on magic. Sirius laughed and said "Harry I will let you look through this later but I think our guests are hungry" Harry nodded and Mrs Black said "Harry if you look in the top draw of the left hand side of the desk there is something your mother created for you in there. She asked me to guard it when you three went into hiding" Harry went over to the desk and inside was a necklace that had a pendent on it that was a family crest but was also was a locket. Inside the locket was a photo with both of his parents. Harry smiled and placed the necklace on. Sirius smiled and said "you truly are great Harry. I mean you treated my mum with respect just because you could" he smiled and they heard Dumbledore yell "will you two hurry up so we can eat" Harry looked at Sirius and asked "can't they see this room?" he shook his head and said "it is a privilege for you to be apart of this. But you have been invited in by my mother so you will notice it, but no one else can even if you want them too" Harry smiled and said "so if those two friends of mine finally get together I can escape in here" Sirius laughed and said "yes that is a good example Harry" they then hugged and went down where the others were all sitting looking annoyed. Both men cracked up and Dumbledore asked "your mother told you how to move her didn't she?" Sirius nodded and added "she gave Harry the present Lily made for him before she died" Severus asked "what was it?" Harry pulled the necklace out and Severus went to touch when he yelped and sat back. Remus asked "what's wrong Sev?" Severus replied "damn Lily. She made it impossible for a Death Eater to touch it. Sirius see if you can?" Sirius nodded and went to touch it when he too yelped. Harry laughed and said "you two looked very funny when you yelped. I guess mum was more powerful then I was told" Dumbledore laughed and said "Harry is it just a crest?" Harry shook his head and replied "no it's also a locket with a picture of my mum and dad inside with the words 'dearest Harry. If you are reading this then your father and I aren't with you. Please tell Albus about this and he will take you to where we are. Love always mum' what does that mean sir?" Dumbledore smiled and said "only I knew this up until tonight. But the thing is your mum and dad became statues after Voldermort used the killing curse on them. I believed them to be dead but it seems that they may not be. Harry you do realise what this means?" Harry grinned and said "if you do not take us all there now I will whinge until you do" everyone laughed and Hermione said "Harry can't it wait until we have eaten?" Harry shook his head and said "you know the most out of everyone here that the one thing I have wanted is my folks Hermione. Now do you think a meal with my parents sounds better to me then waiting until tomorrow for that?" she laughed and said "I knew as soon as I had started you would refuse Harry" they all laughed before Albus and Minerva teleported everyone to a room within Hogwarts Harry remembered. He turned to the headmaster and said "I know this room Albus" he smiled and said "to think you were so close to your parents when you were watching them through the mirror of Erised" Harry chuckled.

When everyone was ready Albus lead them all through a door into a room and Harry saw both his parents standing in a fighting stance. Sirius looked at Harry and said "there you go kiddo your parents are waiting for you to awaken them" Harry turned to Sirius and said "I don't know if I want to now" Sirius laughed and said "Harry you know as well as I do that you must. Now walk up there before I carry you up there" Harry smiled and grabbed Sirius' hand and said "I need you for strength godfather" Sirius smiled and walked up with Harry while Remus and the others stayed back.
