Thirteen-year-old Harry Potter was walking down the street, furious at his uncle. He had left his house after blowing up his Aunt Marge. Then, as he saw a huge black dog in the bushes across the street and was just about to pull out his wand but was thrown backwards.
That second, the 21-year-old Harry merged with 13-year-old. The dog across the street gave a bark before he ran over to Harry and started to lick his face; Harry shot up and said, "Sirius."
The dog looked at him for a moment before turning into the Sirius Black, "How did you know it was me."
Harry was feeling the effects of going through time and merging into his old body, it felt like sombody had run into him, but he was still excited to see Sirius again. After a moment, Harry gave Sirius's mind a quick tap with his Legilimency before seeing that he could do Occlumency.
"I'll tell you later but first you should turn back into a dog," He trailed off before sticking his wand out into the street and hearing the knight bus come around the corner.
He turned to see Sirius had turned back into a dog, "Come here boy," He said as Sirius started to walk up to the knight bus.
"Welcome to the…" Stan Shunpike started but was stopped at the sight of Snuffles and Harry standing in front of the door.
"Hi" Harry said waiting for Stan to move.
"Woss your name" Stan asked Harry.
"Neville Longbottom," Harry told him as Stan moved to allow Harry into the bus as he tried to keep some continuity between the two timelines.
"So-So this bus, where does it go," Harry asked as Stan looked over him.
"Anywhere, but not under water, we can't do anythink down there," Stan told him as he got out his price list, "Eleven sickles for just the ticket or 15 for fare and hot chocolate."
Harry handed him 15 sickles and then said, "The Leaky Cauldron," He said as he and Snuffles sat down on the bed as the bus started to move.
Stan looked at the dog and said, "What 'is name?"
"Padfoot," He said, the rest of the journey was spent in relative peace with people getting off the bus every now and then (most looked happy they were finally grtting off) until they finally got to The Leaky Cauldron He stepped out of the bus and saw Cornelius Fudge, Harry had to try very hard to suppress his anger at Fudge.
"Hello Harry, my name is Cornelius Fudge; I am the Minister of Magic," Fudge told him as Harry put on a look of shock.
"What 'cho call Neville Minister," Stan asked the Minister.
"Neville?
This Harry Potter!" Fudge told Stan as he looked at Stan as if he
was an idiot.
Stan's eyes widened in shock and said, "Hey ern,
ern it's Harry Potter, I can see 'is scar," He said as he
jumped up and down.
"C'mon Harry," He said as he pushed Harry into a parlour.
"Hello Harry, would you like some tea," Fudge asked him, Harry just shook his head as Fudge continued, "No, okay, well it is my duty as minister of magic to tell you that your Aunt's memory has been change, she has been punctured and your family has agreed to take you back as long as you stay at home for the Christmas and Easter Holiday's," Fudge concluded.
"I never go back for the holidays," Harry told him, speaking for the first time.
"Okay, you are not to go back into Muggle London and you are to stat here," He said and when Harry nodded he said, "Good! Now what is this dog's name," He asked.
"Padfoot, He was my best friend while at the Dursley's," Harry told him cursing Fudge's curiosity.
"Nice to meet you and I must be off," He said as he got up and after giving Snuffles, a quick pat he left the room and tom the barman came in.
"Come on Mr. Potter," he said as he led Harry up to room number Seven.
"If there is anything you need don't hesitate to ask," Tom told Harry as he shut the door.
As soon as he had Padfoot turned back into Sirius, "How did you know it was me? And who used Legilimency" He asked Harry as he gave him a sweeping look.
Harry sighed and then he told him all that had happened, his death shocked him and so did Dumbledore's, but Harry left out all of the relationships.
Sirius sat there for a moment stunned before saying, "Was there anybody special?" He asked to break the ice.
"No," Harry said as he tried not to blush, but he did.
"Who?" He asked with a mischievous grin.
"She on the pecie of paper in your pocket with Wormtail," Harry said in a small voice that was barley a whisper and Sirius looked stunned and quickly pulled out a piece of newspaper.
"It is Pettigrew," Sirius said as he pointed to the photo of the Weasley family's rat Scabbers.
"Yes, I told you that," Harry told him.
Sirius sighed, "I still can't believe that I was killed by Bella Leugly," He said as he sat down on the bed next to Harry.
"Nor could I, it took awhile to come to terms but eventually I learned to live with the fact that I may never see you again," Harry told him truthfully.
"So… what happened with Miss Weasley?" Sirius asked with a devilish smile on his face.
Harry gave a soft chuckle before answering, "We went out for a couple of weeks in my 6th year and she came with me on the Horcrux hunt after she ran away from home to find us the second the ministry changed the age that you could do magic from 17 to 16 so that we could fight the war easier," Harry told him as he thought about the few day's between when they got an owl saying Ginny had run away to look for them and 2 day's later when she found them.
"Anything else," He persisted, his grin still was not gone.
"Not much else," Harry said as he again tried to blush.
"yeah right! If your
anything like your father.." sirius started befor harry cut him
off
"Fine, We were and probily still are with the way Hermione
explaned the time warp... Married, anyway getting away from my love
life I have to ask you something," He told him as Sirius Burst into
laughter.
"What," Sirius said when he finally settled himself down.
"I need you to find all of the Horcruxes," He asked him as Sirius tensed up slightly.
"Sure, is there anything I should know?" Sirius asked him.
"Yeah, Hermione discovered that to destroy Horrcruxes you need to use Griffindor's sword but we will worry about that later," Harry told him.
"Okay, but how am I going to stay with you?" Sirius asked as Harry thought.
"You can go and track down the Horcruxes while I teach the other's to do Occlumency so Snape cannot read their minds," He said as Sirius put on a look of disgust.
"I still can't believe that Dumbledore is wrong… but this Snape so he probably is," He added with a twisted grin.
"Yeah, anyway I need some sleep," He told Sirius as he nodded and turned into Snuffles and pulled a extra blanket from under the bed and put it into the corner and fell asleep.
Harry also dived onto his bed and fell asleep without taking his glasses of or anything.
When Harry woke up he had to stop himself from screaming but a small shout escaped him. Snuffles quickly turned back into Sirius.
"What's wrong?" Sirius asked urgently.
"I-I just had a nightmare," Harry told him, he was still shaking and sweating.
"What about?" he asked, but when Harry gave him a dirty look he said, "Okay sorry just trying to be a good godfather."
"It's alright," Harry sighed, "I was dreaming about all the death's I saw… especially your's," Harry told him, Sirius was taken back for a moment.
"I-It must have been hard for you too have only had a parent figure for 2 years," Sirius said.
"The Weasley's took me under their wing, but it was still hard when you died," Harry told him as Sirius's face flushed again.
"Anyway what are we going to do today?" Sirius asked him, changing the subject.
"We should get all of my school stuff," Harry said as they left to do their shopping with Sirius turned back into Padfoot.
The next couple of days were reasonably quiet; they got all of his school things together. (Sirius was turned into a dog.) Harry finished all his homework in a couple of days, on his 3rd day in Diagon alley he got Ginny's letter, and after all of Sirius's jokes Harry managed to write a response without Sirius seeing anything since he was using ink that only the writer and the intended reader can read.
Ginny POV
That
same day Ginny left Egypt for the Burrow, after landing just outside
the burrow with a can in her hand that was the Portkey.
When Ginny first saw the burrow a huge grin appeared on her face, the burrow had been destroyed in the war and even before it that the burrow didn't feel like home the few times they went there while she was on the road with Harry, Ron and Hermione.
The last few days had been great for Ginny, she had seen all of her family again, and she was carefree for the first time in a many years.
A couple of hours later Hedwig came through the window, Ron went for the owl first, but Hedwig went straight to Ginny.
Ron looked at the letter for a
moment before asking, "Why is Harry writing to you Ginny."
Ginny
ignored the comment and read:
Dear Ginny Firstly, I
should tell you that nobody else could read this letter. Secondly, I
want to say that the last few days have been empty without
you. Sirius is here with me, has been trying to get everything
out of me, and knows everything that has happened and about you and
I. I hope I see you soon; I will love you always, Harry.
Just after she had read it, Ron took the parchment out of her hand, "Hey! Give that back!" Ginny shouted at her brother.
Ron looked at the paper and shouted, "Why did he send you blank parchment?"
"So nosy people like can't read
it," Ginny shouted at her brother as her mother came into the
room.
"What is going on?" Molly asked her children with a
warning glance.
"WHAT DID IT SAY!?" Ron shouted, ignoring his mother.
"FOR YOUR INFORMATION HE WAS
ASKING HOW I WAS AFTER THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS YOU INSENITIVE GIT!"
Ginny screamed at her brother and attempted to leave the room but was
stopped by a mother.
"RON WEASLEY, YOU CAN GO TO YOUR ROOM. HOW
DARE YOU BE SO MEAN TO YOUR SISTER? YOU ARE GROUNDED FOR A WEEK,"
Her mother screamed sending Ron too her room.
Ginny sat down at the table and she
read the letter again.
"What dose it really say Ginny?" Her
mother asked.
"WH-What do you mean?" Ginny asked her mother.
"I can tell when my children are lying to me Ginny, so what did he say," Her mother told her with the faint hint of a smile.
"No-Nothing," Ginny lied to her mother.
Her mother studied her for a minute and then said, "Okay," As she walked away.
Ginny was left thinking how Harry and Ginny are going to keep their relationship secret and get all of the Horcruxes at the same time.
Ginny was so immersed in her thoughts that she did not notice that her mother was watching her from the doorway.
Ginny spent the last days of the school holidays either thinking or trying to stop her brothers pranking her.
It was the last day before school when her mother told them that they would be going to Diagon alley.
Ginny practically squeaked with excitement as she heard the news and went up to pack her bag.
When they left the next day, Ginny was trying not to look too excited as they stood in front of the fireplace as they Flooed out one by one.
When she got out of the fireplace, she followed Ron and Hermione all through Diagon alley and eventually found Harry outside of quality Quidditch supplies.
"Hi Harry," Ginny said as they ran over towards him, she was barley able to stop herself from kissing him.
"Hi Ginny, hey Ron, Hermione," He said barley able to tare his eye's away from Ginny; he had forgotten how pretty she looked when she was young.
"Hey Harry, how are you?" Hermione said as he eyed him closely.
"Good, how are you?" Harry asked them.
"Good, did you really blow up
your aunt?" Hermione asked straight out.
"Yeah," Harry said
as Ron burst out laughing.
"Ron! That's not funny, Harry could have been expelled!" Hermione shouted at Ron.
Harry and Ginny gave a small laugh and Hermione and Ron turned towards them.
"What's so funny?" Hermione asked them and eyed the two of them suspiciously.
"You two should really just admit that you like each other and get over it." Ginny told them and Harry and Ginny both walked towards the Leaky cauldron, they were holding each other's hands but dropped them after a few seconds due to suspicious it would look, but were still closer than normal friends..
