The next day, the Trio went down to the Kitchens before anyone else woke up, leaving a note in the Griffindore Common Room, and had a quick breakfast.

Then, they made their way to the Sanctuary.

"Ah... your actually on time" Decimare hissed, as they entered the Sanctuary Common Room.

"Ya, we'll be in the Garden if you need us" Harry said, walking over to the Garden door.

They began doing laps around the Garden, which, as it turns out, had a large fountain in the middle, with Lion's spitting out water.

The three had tiered quickly, but they kept at it. By 7:00 am they were all sweating and made their way to the Kitchen for some water, where, much to their surprise, they found Dobby.

"Dobby?!" Harry exclaimed, tiredness forgotten at the moment.

"Mr. Harry Potter Sir! Dobby just knew it was Mr. Harry Potter Sir, who was Griffindore's Heir!" Dobby said, jumping up and down.

"How did you know?" Ron asked

"When a Heir to one of the Founders has found their Sanctuary, one of the House Elf's in the world is chosen to serve them" Dobby said with a low bow.

"Dobby, you don't have to do that!" Hermione said

"Miss. Granger, you do know that if a House Elf has no master, they die. I only wanted to get away from my old master, the Malfoys! Not all those who own a House Elf, abuse them as they do" Dobby said

That shut her up.

"Besides, we'll pay him" Harry said, smiling.

Dobby looked like he was about to burst into tears of joy.

"Is there anything Dobby can do for his new masters?" he asked

"Um, could you get us some water, please?" Ron asked

Hermione smacked him.

"Of course, Master Ron!" Dobby said happily, before rushing off to the fridge.

He came back quickly, with three bottle's of water.

"Thank you, Dobby" Hermione said, taking a relieved sip of her drink.

"It is no problem, Mistress Hermione" Dobby said, with a slight bow of the head.

"You don't need to call me that" Hermione said, frowning slightly.

"Don't bother, Hoot. It's like trying to get Ron to have dinner manners" Harry said

"Hey!" Ron said

"Hoot?" Dobby asked, confused.

"Oh... uh, Dobby can you keep a secret?" Harry asked

Dobby nodded furiously "Of course! Dobby can never reveal his masters secrets!"

"Okay... well, we became Animagi. Yesterday. We nicknamed ourselves, Hoot, Shadowhoove, and UPaw" Harry said, pointing to each one of them.

Dobby brightened "What are yous? If you don't mind me asking, Master UPaw"

Harry chuckled at the use of his nickname "You can ask what ever you like. Allow us to show you"

He turned into UPaw, and bowed to the House Elf.

Dobby squealed. "The Heir to Godric Griffindore's Animagus is a mighty Lion! I would have no doubt!"

Ron turned into Shadowhoove, and Hermione into Hoot.

Dobby stroked Shadow's head, and Hoot landed on his shoulder, who he gave a pat.

After the teens changed back, Dobby was once again bouncing on his socked feet.

"Master UPaw, Master Shadowhoove and Mistress Hoot!" he squealed.

"Hey, Dobby. Could you please get us some food for lunch? And if you find anyone looking for us, tell them we'll be back by dinner" Harry said

"Of course, Master UPaw!" with that, Dobby vanished with a deafening CRACK!

After that, they began working on transforming back in forth from their Animagus forms for half an hour before they began re-learning to walk.

After 3 hours, they decided to take a break.

They ate the lunch Dobby brought them in their new Dinning Room, and then Decimare began training them in sword fighting in the Arena.

"Lung, back, swish, lung. Lung, back, swish, lung" Decimare repeated, as the trio did as was told.

After that, they worked on silent casting on the Arena dummy's.

Than, with an hour left before Dinner, they began basic wandless magic, starting by transforming a needle into a match, like they did in first year.

Harry got it on his second try, Ron on his fifth, and Hermione on her fourth.

By the time they were done, they had just started getting on the banishing spell.

"Come on, lets get to dinner" Hermione said

Decimare watched them leave a Common Room, a thoughtful look on his scaly face.

"I wonder" he hissed, before slithering away.


When they made it to the Great Hall for dinner, Molly had set them aside for a long talk.

But, thankfully, they were saved by James and Sirius.

When Hermione and Ron went ahead of Harry to the Griffindore Tower, Sirius came up to him.

"Alright, Prongslet. Spill." he said, crossing his arms.

Harry raised an eyebrow. "Spill what?"

"At first, I thought you three were catching up, but then Dumbledore give's you the Sword of Godric Griffindore and says you found something that only the Heir can find. And then you three disappear of a whole day!" Sirius exclaimed

"Sirius, we're just hanging out. We were gone for a whole day because we decided to practice Defense spells, considering we're at Hogwarts, there's no restriction." Harry half lied.

Sirius nodded.

"Well, don't get used to it. Your farther wants to talk to you, said to meet him outside the Great Hall"

With that, he walked away.

Harry watched him exit the Hall, and shook his head.

He was about to make his way to meet up with his dad, but suddenly, his head began to spin and he stumbled backwards, catching himself on the giant round table.

It took a moment, but it eventually passed.

Shrugging it off, Harry exited the hall and was met by the sight of James waiting for him.

When he spotted Harry, he smiled.

"Come on, kiddo. Wanna show you something" he said

James led Harry to the seventh floor and paced in front of the wall three times, before a door appeared.

"This is the Room of Requirement. You pace in front of it three times, focusing on what kind of room you need and tada!" he said, opening the door to reveal a nice living area.

There was a red couch in front of a burning fireplace, and the place was decorated bookshelf's, ornaments, etc.

They got comfortable on the soft sofa, before James turned to his son.

"Dumbledore's decided that we should go to Kings Cross and get you and your friends on the train, also not to tell anyone that you spent half the summer at Hogwarts. It might draw unwanted attention." he explained

Harry nodded. "That all?"

"Well, I was wondering were you three have been going all this time. Aren't keeping any secrets, are you?" he asked

Harry bite his lip.

Yes.

Yes, he was keeping secrets.

That he was an Animagi, the Blood Bound, the Sanctuary, Decimare, Dobby, the Training. The list goes on.

Harry shook his head. "No." he lied.

"Good" James said, nodding.

He smiled and ruffled Harry's hair, who protested and tried to smooth it back down, to no avail.

James chuckled and pulled him into a one arm hugged.

"I love you, Harry" he said

"I love you too, Dad" Harry said

A moment of silence.

"You'd be surprised about how much of your mother you've got in you. Dumbledore... promised that when the war was over, we would bring her back, too."

When no answer came, he continued.

"She would be ecstatic to meet you. To see the person you turned out to be. She's got quite a temper thought and will probably go murder her sister when she finds out... you know. I still can't believe they would do that to their own nephew"

No answer.

"Harry?"

James looked down, only to see Harry staring straight ahead with unblinking eyes... not breathing.

"Harry?"

He began shaking him.

"Harry?!"


Ron and Hermione had sensed it.

Through the Bound.

They had just been sitting in the Common Room, when they had felt it.

They had raced to the Hospital Wing, to see James pacing outside.

"What happened?" Hermione asked

"I was talking with Harry and he had suddenly stopped breathing. I took him to the Hospital Wing, and sent Sirius to get Dumbledore and Remus to get you two and the rest of the Weasley's" he explained

Just than, Sirius, Dumbledore, Remus, McGonagall, and the rest of the Weasleys came running.

They waited outside for an hour, before Madam Pomfrey allowed them in.

The group raced over to the bed with a sleeping Harry in it.

"Poppy, do you know what happened?" Dumbledore asked, as James took his sons limp hand.

"Apparently, he's still ill. I suggest taking him to Grimmauld Place until he recovers. You can go tomorrow, and I'll be over every day after lunch" she said

"He's still sick? How?" Remus asked

Poppy shook her head. "I do not know. I had checked him for any illness three times over before letting him go, so it must have somehow returned"

James sighed.

"The reason he stopped breathing is because the illness had been unexpected and had hit at full force. I do not believe that anything unexpected like that will happen again, but if it does, contact me immediately" Pomfrey said, before walking away.

Everyone but the Marauders left soon after.

James crawled into bed with his son, and pulled him close.

Sirius and Remus took the beds near by.

And they fell asleep.
