Before the house was finished Bill and Charlie were off to Hogwarts. Molly started home schooling and added Ginny, Harry and Hermione to her students. Hermione stayed at the Burrow and her parents stayed in London during the week but they stayed at the Burrow on the weekends.

It didn't take long to build Sirius and Harry's new house. They had rooms for themselves and Remus. There was another section for the Grangers, and Hermione's room. Harry, Sirius, Remus and Hermione moved in. A few days later the Grangers brought some of their things in. After the weekend Jane Granger decided to stay a few more days and Chris decided to take the train so that Jane could have the car.

That evening Chris said, "You know taking the train in was much easier than driving. It only took an hour and I was less than a block from the office. Best of all I didn't have to worry about traffic or finding a parking space. I think we could stay out here full time. Maybe we should sell the house and find or build something out here."

Jane said, "That's fine with me. I talked to the old dentist in town and he's looking for a replacement. I've really just been playing your receptionist for the last couple of years. We could buy this office and I could take it over and you can hire a receptionist. I really like it out here."

Chris asked, "What do the people in town think about this house going up so fast?"

Jane said, "They don't see it as any more than a building in the process. The illusion is altered every day until its completed in a muggle time schedule. Sirius explained it to me. We can see it because we know about it. Villagers see the car going over the hill not pulling up to the house."

The Grangers started looking around for a house. In the end Sirius sold them a portion of his land and they had a muggle builder start their new house in the spring. In the mean time the Grangers sold their home and moved everything into the finally completed, as far as muggles knew, house with Sirius.

On Halloween Sirius didn't want to get out of bed. Harry had woke up early wondering what the holiday meant for witches and wizards. Surely it would be a large celebration. Kreacher turned from cooking breakfast as the stairs creaked, "Good morning Master Harry, yous up early today."

Harry said, "I've been wondering what kind of celebrations wizards have for Halloween. For muggles is about candy and dressing up like monsters and stuff."

Kreacher said, "Yous needing to ask Master Black."

Harry said, "He's still sleeping."

Remus walked in and said, "Morning Harry, Kreacher where's Sirius."

Harry said, "Still in bed, I didn't want to wake him up. What do wizards do for Halloween?"

Remus said, "We have parties and feasts with lots of candy. "

Harry smiled, "Sounds like fun. Last year Dudley dressed up as a pirate and Uncle Vernon took him around to houses and he came back with a big bag of candy."

Remus smiled, "What did you dress up as?"

Harry said, "I wasn't allowed to dress up or eat candy."

Remus said, "I'm sorry Harry, I forget that they were so awful to you. You're such a good boy I can't understand their feelings and actions."

Harry said, "Sirius says they were scared of me but I don't understand why."

Remus said, "I'm afraid that Sirius will have to explain that to you. " Remus left to get Sirius. He opened the door to Sirius' room and noticed he was still in bed, but wide awake. Remus said, "Are you ok?"

Sirius said, "No. I hate Halloween. But this year is worse, I'm going to have to explain to Harry why I hate Halloween. Petunia told him they died in a car crash. I told him a bad man killed them but I've been putting off any other explanation."

Remus said, "I thought you had already taken care of this." Sirius shrugged, so Remus said, "Get up now and do the explaining. Better to get it out of the way than to dread it all day."

Sirius said, "I hate Halloween."

Twenty minutes later Sirius walked in to see Harry and Remus talking quietly. Harry got up and hugged Sirius, "I already know that this is the anniversary of Mum and Dad's deaths. You don't have to explain it. I know about You-Know-Who and how he tried to kill me but somehow I stopped him even though no one knows how."

Sirius asked, "Did Remus tell you?"

Harry said, "No Hermione did. She was reading Charlie's school book. One thing it doesn't' say is why me?"

Sirius shook his head, "Leave it to her. I'm not sure why. James told me you were in danger and that was all I needed to know. I wanted you to be safe."

Harry said, "In the books it says that you were a death eater and turned us over to You-Know-Who but Fred explained that it was really Petegrew and that he framed you. So I want to know what's a death eater and why did they think you were one? And why can't we just call him by his name?"

Sirius said, "Death eaters are You-Know-Who's followers. My family were big supporters of him, but I never was. My whole family for generations have been in Slytherin, I am the first Gryffindor ever. The sorting hat said 'another black, I suppose you want to be in Slytherin', I told it no. It asked 'do you want to go against your whole family' I told it that I always choose to do the opposite of whatever they do. So it placed me in Gryffindor which is the opposite of Slytherin."

Harry asked, "Why do they support him?"

Sirius said, "The Black family is ancient. We go back many generations to a relative of Salazar Slytherin. Do you remember the story of Slytherin."

Harry said, "He was one of the founders of Hogwarts and wanted only pure blood wizards. Muggleborns like Hermione and half bloods like me weren't worth teaching he thought."

Sirius said, "Exactly. You-Know-Who is a big supporter of that line of thought and he wants to get rid of anyone who doesn't believe that way. Death eaters are purebloods, and some half bloods, that agree with him and think that he will lead the way for them to rule the world."

Harry said, "Ok, so what about the name?"

Sirius said, "He is so evil that people are just too scared to call him by name."

Harry said, "So what is his name?"

Sirius said, "He calls himself Lord Voldemort, I don't think that's his original name. But I don't know what his original name is."
