Harry had been out of Azkaban for a month all together when he was allowed to go home with a happy Sirius.
"Sorry, it took so long but the wards took longer than I thought to set." Sirius replied, "This is the place it doesn't look like much out here but it's good on the inside..." Harry looked around the Entry Way . "Welcome home, Kiddo."
Harry's scream tore through the house as he bolted under the stairs.
"What the hell did you do?!" Remus bellowed, trying to coax Harry out. "You cant touch him, Padfoot!" The people gathered watch Sirius pale, " Harry, Sirius is sorry, he's a moron. He forgot. It's okay you can come out. No one's going to hurt you."
Harry came out backing away from the werewolf looking at all the people. He bolted up the stairs.
"HARRY!" Sirius and Remus bolted after him. "HARRY?!"
They found him hiding in the attic.
"Harry, what's wrong?" Sirius asked, then frowned, "What? You didn't like seeing all your friends?"
Harry grabbed some parchment and a quill it looked to already be inked.
' I don't know any of them make them go away!'
"Oh."
"I told you, Padfoot!" Remus growled, "I'll show you your room, pup, while Sirius get rid of them all."
Harry was sitting on his new bed. He liked the room. It was goth chic as Remus called it. Sirius burst in followed by Remus both levitating piles of presents .
"So, uh, I got in touch with my cousin Narcissa she's Draco Malfoy's mother..." Harry shrugged, " well you were a Slytherin, " Harry blinked, " and roomed with Draco he said your favorite color was black and you had a thing for what you called goth. So we came back with this..." Harry looked around and nodded, "You like it?" Harry nodded and Sirius beamed, "Well, everyone was upset when Remus explained that you couldn't be passed around and all that but they left the gifts they got you."
Harry shrugged, he wore a different black St. Mungos robe. He would have to wear them from now on until he was healed it was a new law that let people know about his aflicction . They'd stocked him up on them, the sleeves were long and turned into gloves that covered his whole hand and his collar was high covering his whole neck, his pants covered his legs. His shirt had a hood on the back so he didn't have to face the sun and a cloth to cover his nose and mouth so that every inch of him was covered. He wore black boots to finish his outfit.
" So can we ..." Sirius cleared his throat. " stay while you open them?"
Harry shrugged and nodded.
"Okay, this one is from ..." Remus said passing Harry one after testing it for curses and things while Sirius conjured chairs for them. "Molly Weasley."
Harry slowly opened it and shook his head. Pushing the gifts away.
He couldn't eat sweets, he was on a strict diet, and he couldn't wear the sweater.
"Well, we'll have to tell her about the restrictions. " Sirius said, and got a smile from Remus as Teddy came in. Harry quickly grabbed a chocolate frog opened it and shoved it in his godson's mouth. He looked at the card and put it on the bedside table, Teddy sat down chewing the leg of the frog not really understanding why he'd suddenly had a mouth full of frog when he'd just come to talk to his Godfather. " Well, we'll tuck those away for treats when Teddy's been good then."
Harry gave a satisfied nod. Then took the next one. He noted that Sirius performed the same charms and that it didn't hurt to touch this stuff.
"The wards make these things touchable for you." Remus replied as if reading Harry's thoughts. Harry nodded. " That one is from Hermione Granger... she wasn't exactly a friend ..."
Harry liked the gift books. Defensive Theory : An Art to Teaching Defense. Defensive Charms, Defensive Transfiguration's, Defensive Potions...
"She seems to think you're going to teach Defense, Uncle Harry." Teddy said, "Can I borrow this one?" He grabbed the Transfiguration book, "When you're done of course. "
Harry shrugged then nodded. It seemed odd to him too.
Three gifts later he found out what the charms were for.
"Ron Weasley cursed this one. " Sirius hissed, " I told you he couldn't be trusted. " He put it in his pocket. "Okay, this one is from ... er... Snivellus..."
"Severus." Remus elbowed Sirius, "Snape you met him at the Ministry. " Harry opened it. " A journal how nice. " Harry nodded. " And a self inking quill. You can write down everything you're feeling it comes with a note."
Harry put them on his bedside table and looked at the few remaining gifts.
"This one is from me!" Teddy beamed, handing one over, " I don't know if you can still do it do to your medical condition but Prof. McGonagall said you were amazing at Transfig and that you were interested..."
A book on Animagus forms.
Something stirred in Harry's mind and he suddenly nodded clapping his hands together he suddenly shifted in to a sleek black wolf. Then back again.
Remus and Sirius whooped and clapped for him. Harry put the book with the others.
"My turn." Remus coughed, handing over his gift. "I hope you like it."
Harry opened it and was confused. Stuff to take care of an animal.
"and to top it all off!" Sirius boomed, "Your new pet...wolf!"
It was a tiny black wolf pup who barked. Harry grabbed it and hugged it to him. The tiny thing licked his cheek. Harry put the tiny pup on his pillows and wrote a thank you.
"No problem." Sirius beamed, "We'll be going to get your wand soon. You need a new one your old one was destroyed. " Harry nodded. "We'll leave you to rest now."
Harry quickly shoved a pack of sugar quills into Teddy's hands as they all left the room. He was exhausted. He looked around and found his St. Mungos approved pj's much like his robes and changed before curling up in bed with his new puppy and settling in to go to sleep.
