Starting Over
Chapter Four
Moony and Padfoot
He fell asleep rereading his potions book from first year. He had decided to go over everything he had learned. He didn't want to be average anymore. I would make his parents proud of him no matter what. He knew it wouldn't be easy rereading and working ahead. But he was determined to do it. That feeling of something horrible happening drove him to work hard. He was even going to start running and working out to get his body into better shape. That plus, those chores he was going to be in a lot better shape going into Hogwarts. He ate better also. He was determined to show he can be good, to be the best and actually earn everything he got from now on. He knew Ron and Hermione would act weird, especially Hermione she hated when others did better than her at getting top scores in school. She would have to get over it though. He at least hoped she would. Harry didn't want to lose Hermione as a friend. Ron well Ron is just a jealous prat and could do with getting over himself.

He looked up and saw an owl at his window. He got up in a hurry and opened it. He didn't know the owl so he thought it could be from Sirius. The owl dropped the letter on the desk and left. Harry picked up the letter and opened it.
Prongslet,
Midnight. Be at the park. Use the cloak.
Padfoot
He was looking at the note in shock. He didn't want Sirius to get caught. He shouldn't have sent that letter. He knew Sirius would be there if he needed him but he shouldn't be in Britain. He could get caught. Harry wouldn't know what he would do if he was the reason his godfather got caught.
He sighed. He knew he couldn't change his godfathers mind. He would meet them. He went up to the attic and looked for hours for the box his mother had left with his aunt. Once he found it he sat and looked at pictures of her and his father, some of him, Sirius and Remus, and even some of his aunt and his mum. Everyone was right he had his mum's eye's and his dad's hair. He finally had a picture of their wedding. His dad in formal black and white robes and Sirius with his hair actually cut and groomed. Remus and Peter goofing off. Their good times before everything went to hell. Before Peter the bastard betrayed them and Sirius went to prison. Remus younger and happier with his friends. They all looked happy and content, not a worry in the world until he came along. He wished he knew why they went into hiding. Why they were killed? Why did Peter betray them?
He remembered his Aunt say something about a letter from his mum. He dug in the box and found it under two wands. Wands whose were they? They couldn't have been his mum and dads could they? He would have to ask Sirius later. He sat there looking at the letter in his hands. He didn't know what it could say but he wasn't sure he would like anything in it. He knew this letter could say everything that he believed was right but it was wrong. Like Dumbledore. What if everything he knew was wrong? Harry knew he had to hurry it was already late. He needed to read this letter before going and getting ready.
He slowly opened the letter and started reading.
My dearest sister,
Please forgive me for just dropping that box off and leaving without saying anything to you. I know it worried you. Please don't be though. I'm sending this letter because it is the last one I can for a long time. James and I have decided to go into hiding and no owl will be able to find us.
I need to tell you a few things before we do though. One don't ever trust Dumbledore. He isn't who he wants everyone to believe he is. He has to have a hand in everything. James and I had originally wanted to stay at the Potter manor. It has some of the best wards to protect our family. Dumbledore didn't agree he wanted control of where we went. He wanted to be able to control and know where we were. The potter manor is unplottable no one not even Dumbledore could find us. He is a controlling bastard. Never trust him if he comes to you. Two, Sirius Black wasn't our secret keeper Peter Pettigrew is. Three there was a prophecy made of Harry and Voldemort it is the reason we are going into hiding it basically says that Harry would destroy him or die trying. If something goes wrong and Harry ends up with you please take him in as your own. Encourage him to work hard and respect those that respect him.
Also tell him no matter what his parents are proud of him and love him more than life itself.
Take care. I love you.
Yours always,
Lady Lily Marie Evens-Potter
Prophecy? Destroy him or die trying? What the hell? Even though it does explain why Voldemort kept coming after him. He needed to know the whole prophecy but how would he go about figuring out that. Why didn't Dumbledore let his parents stay at Potter Manor if it was better protected? Harry had so many questions. He looked at his watch and saw he had been up there since two looking through the box. He had to get ready and head to the park to meet Sirius. Harry grabbed the wands, the letter and a few pictures for Sirius. Then headed to his room to get ready.
He was sitting in the park waiting he had arrived earlier then midnight but he was eager to see Sirius. He sat by a tree just staring at the wands. He wished he knew whose they were. Or why his mother had left them in the box with his aunt. So many questions and so little of him knowing anything. He was right everything in the letter did turn his world upside down. He could no longer trust Dumbledore anymore. He would figure out something. He knew he couldn't let Dumbledore know he knew anything. Dumbledore was still one of the most powerful in the world; Harry would stand no chance in a fight against him. He had to talk to Sirius he would know what to do.
Bark bark
Harry looked up and saw a large black dog running towards him with Remus right behind him.
"Padfoot!" Harry shouted, with a large smile.
"Ugh Padfoot stop that." Harry said disgusted, Sirius had licked his face.
"Professor! I didn't know you were coming." Harry said excited he had two of his dad's best friends there for him. He knew they would do anything for him.
"Harry im not your professor anymore. Call me Remus or moony." Moony said, hugging harry.
"Okay moony. Or was it Uncle moony?" Harry said shyly.
"You remember?" Remus asked a little shocked.
Harry nodded.
"Come Harry into the trees so Sirius can transform." Remus said.
"First, what did u teach me during my third year at Hogwarts?" Harry asked, knowing of poly juice potion.
"Patronus and it took shape as a stag after your father." Remus said, proudly.
"Sorry just wanted to make sure." Harry said, looking at his feet.
"That's good harry you don't know who would try to trick you. There are many ways for people to do it. Always ask people that okay pup?" Remus said looking at harry smiling.
"Okay Uncle Moony." Harry said, Following Remus into the trees where Sirius had already run.
When Harry got there Sirius was already transformed and waiting for his hug. Harry run into his arms and knew he had the family he always wanted. Just him Sirius and Remus.
"Harry you know your letter scared me half to death right?" Sirius said, stepping away from him.
"Sorry. I was scared. Aunt Petunia was being weird sending me worried looks my way she's never done that before. Then yesterday morning she looked like she was in pain just telling me everything that she did. She told me to not trust Dumbledore because that's what my mum had told her in a letter." I pulled the letter out of my pocket and handed it to Sirius. He watched Sirius read the letter then hand it to Remus. Sirius looked pissed. Something Harry had never seen before. When Remus was done reading. He looked at me and asked one thing.
"Have you read this?" He asked me. I nodded.
"We can't trust Dumbledore anymore." Remus said.
"I know but we can't let him know we don't trust him. He has to believe we do until we have things figured out. Until we can escape him right?" Harry said looking at both Remus and Sirius.
"Yes. We have to figure out how to get away from him without him knowing and be far away when he finds out. I don't know how we can do it yet but we will. Give us time okay?" Sirius said, looking deadly. He was overprotective of me and Remus and I both knew it. Sirius wouldn't let Dumbledore lay one hand on me. Remus wouldn't either for that matter.
"Oh hey I find two wands in the box do you recognize them?" Harry asked pulling them out of his other pocket. He showed them to Sirius and Remus. They both showed shock.
"Your mum and dad's Harry but how did they end up in the box?" Sirius said, looking at them.
"Really?" Harry asked looking down at them.
"Yes, but why and how did they end up in the box?" Remus asked, more to himself.
"I don't know. But Sirius your wand was snapped right? Maybe you could use my dad's?" Harry asked, getting an idea.
"It wouldn't be the same but I know it would work. Why?" Sirius said.
"Maybe you could help train me once I get back to Hogwarts? We all know about the prophecy now and Dumbledore. I need to be trained right?" Harry asked.
"Yes Harry of course. I'm still thinking about why they would leave them." Sirius said, looking confused.
"Maybe they knew they would be betrayed and didn't want anyone taking their wands. So maybe they left them with my aunt and used two other wands. Could they do that?" Harry asked, he had been wondering and thinking that could be why.
"Of course they had James parent's wands. Forever I thought why they would be holding James parents wands and not their wands. They didn't want anyone getting a hold of the wands. But the question is why?" Sirius said, looking at Harry.
"I don't think we will ever know. But Harry is right. He needs to be trained correctly." Moony said.
"Harry I'll send some books to you, I want you to read them all and take detailed notes. Do not try any of the spells alone though. We will find a way into Hogwarts without anyone finding out okay?" Moony said, looking at Harry completely serious. Harry nodded.
"We could use the shrinking shack. Since I know how to get down there without getting killed now." Harry said.
"No but I think I have just the room to use okay? I know you plan to go to the Weasley's for the world cup ill stop by and tell you everything." Moony said, knowing what room to use without them getting caught. Harry nodded then yawned.
"Harry its time you headed back. Go home and sleep. Remus will send the books and I'll write you. Be careful." Sirius said, giving a hug to Harry and then Remus gave him a hug.
"Good Night Moony, Padfoot." Harry said, turning around and going back to his Aunt and Uncles home.
*hope you like it. Chapters will slowly become longer.
**please review I love them.
I want to thank everyone that has been helping me to get better. I'm trying I promise.
