2. Investigations

Chapter 2: Resurrections: Part 2

Harry looked up from Sirius when the door opened. Even though Sirius was no longer a convicted felon, he still didn't want any one besides Order members to know of the recent events. He remembered that he needed to tell Sirius that he was no longer a wanted man, that he was freed. He got back to the time at hand and decided to tell him when he got the chance. He was relieved to see that it was only Hermione, Ron, and Ginny. He smiled and the three and watched as they looked at Sirius. Harry had told them in his letter what had happened, but to see the dead man breathing and sitting in front of them was a shock.

Both Ginny and Hermione started silently crying, they ran to Sirius and hugged him. He quickly stood and hugged them back. Hermione, who knew Sirius' relationship with Harry better than Ginny had, whispered in the man's ear. "Harry was a mess without you. Our sixth year was horrible for him. He eventually got over it. But, you don't know how much he will change from this." Then Ron hugged the older man and shook his hand. "It's good to have you back Sirius." He took a step back. Sirius smiled at the all four. He was surprised at how mature and adult they all looked and acted. He was beginning to wonder if something really horrible had happened.

The three walked over to where Harry stood. Ginny took his hand and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Then she leaned in and whispered in his ear. "I know how happy you are now. Don't try to hide it." She took his hand and stood beside him. Hermione and Ron went up to Harry and hugged him too. The door opened again, and the four quickly went to go stand in front of Sirius.

They relaxed when they realized it was just Luna. She had known the truth about Sirius before he was free. She must have been running because she was breathing hard and fast. Her pale blonde hair was a bit messy. After everyone finished school, Luna had decided to become an Unspeakable. She had done a bit of magizoology in her spare time. She had been one of the first ones to check the alarms in the Death Room. She smiled at the five. "Oh Hello Mr. Black. Nice to see you again." She turned to Harry and said "Well, I guess you know something odd has happened. The alarms in the Death Room went off. We checked the readings and there's too much magic for it to be just one person whose returned."

Harry hoped this meant what he thought it did. He gasped and glanced at the picture of the Marauders, then his glance fell to the one of the Original order, and then his eyes finally fell on the photo of the DA. He quickly turned back to Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Luna. His face was all seriousness now. "Right. Ron can you go search the Godric's Hallow graveyard? Hermione, do you mind going to Hogwart's? They both nodded and with a crack they were gone. " , Do you mind having a meeting with the rest of the Unspeakables when Ron and Hermione get back?" She nodded. Harry again spoke. "Thanks, I'll send you a memo when they come back." She waved to everyone in the office and left. Then he turned to his wife. "Gin, can you take Sirius back to our house? I'm going to try to explain this to the Minister." She nodded and then Harry turned to Sirius. "You're going to have to side-along with Ginny, as you don't have your wand. I promise when this clears up we'll get you one, though." Sirius nodded, but he still wanted an answer to the question he asked. He understood that Harry was good for it. Ginny let go of Harry's hand and took Sirius'. She turned away from Harry and asked "Ready?" He nodded and with a crack they were gone.

As soon as everyone left, Harry left his office and headed up to the Minister's. He entered without knocking and walked up to Kinglsey. The minister was seated and writing on a piece of parchment with a quill. Without looking up, he said "Nice of you to knock Potter." He knew the minister would know it was him because no one else would get away with it. Harry smirked. "That's not the point. Something very odd has just happened. A certain man you were looking for, oh fifthteenish years ago, was in my office not five minutes ago." Kingsley dropped his quill and looked up at Harry. "Potter. You will be in so much trouble if you are pulling my leg." Harry nodded and spoke. "This is serious. Also, he might not be the only one coming back. Luna says that they took some measurments of magic when the alarms in the Death Room went off. It showed too much magic for just the returning of one wizard." Kingsley nodded. "Right. Potter. I understand. You are hereby in charge of the Resurrections. Form whatever you need to." Harry nodded. "Thank you minister. I'll keep you posted." He then turned, and walked back to his office. He hoped Ron and Hermione were back.

Meanwhile, Ginny and Sirius had arrived at the Potter house. Ginny opened the door and let Sirius on. When she had arrived in the living room a few seconds later, she turned to him and said "SO,. You can live he for as long as you need. If you like you can go to Grimauld as soon as Harry figure's this all out." Sirius quickly shook his head. "NO. I'm not going back there. Would you and Harry mind if I stay here for a while.?" Ginny nodded. "We'd love to have you. Oh, that reminds me. You're a free man now. " Sirius gasped. "Are you serious?" Ginny nodded with a soft smile. "I'll leave you here for a few minutes to get over that. I have to go check on Lily and her sitter." Sirius nodded, dazed. Then he made his way to a nearby couch. While he pondered what his future now held for him, he looked at the photos that lined the walls. Each was of a family or a couple. The first was of Lily and James holding baby Harry. Then there was one of Remus and Tonks. Sirius always knew those two would eventually get together. Remus was holding a small baby with a tuft of turquoise hair. Sirius smile and realized this must be the teenager in Harry's photograph. Then there was one of Harry and his family. The last was of Ron and Hermione, and there family. That was another couple he knew would get together eventually. He tore his head away from the photos as Ginny came down the stairs, followed by a nine year girl who looked like Lily. Sirius smiled at the girl and wondered if he should say something.

Harry had almost reached his office when the two people he wanted to see the most came running in his direction. He grinned at them and briskly stepped towards them. He grabbed each of their arms and pulled them into his office. He let go of them and quickly shut the door. He cast a muffliato. He worried that they would be overheard. H turned back to them, with his back against the wall and said "So, what did you fine?" His two best friends looked at each other and grinned. Then they turned to Harry and spoke at the same time. "They're back. All of them." Harry gasped. "All of them? Are you absolutely positive?" Hermione nodded. "I hid in the forest and a Homenum Revelio spell. There were the same number of living people as graves. I looked and on top of each was a familiar face.

Harry's mouth dropped. When he closed it he had a grin on his face. He then walked forward and hugged his friend. "That's brilliant, Hermione! Teddy will have his parents back." Then he turned to Ron. He had a pleading look on his face. The two people he had never met, but cared the most about would be in Godric's Hallow. Ron however, had a somber expression on his face. Harry's grin froze and fell. "No…" Ron smirked and Harry relaxed, waiting to hear what his friend had to say. Ron spoke quickly. "Well, let's just say Al, Lily, and James have two non red-headed grandparents." Harry's grin rose again. He turned to his friends and said " Please tell me you're serious, both of you." They nodded in affirmation. Harry wanted to jump for joy. Hermione stepped forward and spoke. "Harry, you should know. Everyone's asleep. Actually, it's liked they've been stunned. But, I tried reneverate and nothing happened. I think they're going to have to wake up on their own. That'll probably be in three or four hours. I have no clue why Sirius is awake though." Harry nodded. It meant he only had a limited amount of time to form his committee. "Thank you Hermione. We've got a lot to do. I told Kinglsey and he's put me in charge of this whole deal. I'm supposed to start a division for the Resurrections. The three of us will be heads." He sat down and quickly wrote a few letters, one to the minister explaining the news. One to Ginny, saying he'd be late. But, he had some extremely good news. And, the third was to Luna, telling her to have her meeting and everything Ron and Hermione told him. He flicked his wand and they were gone.
