When Harry returned to Hogwarts, it was in an uproar. And the reason was simple.

Percy Weasly was back as the new High Inquisitor. Fortunately for the rather annoying red head, he had taken down the rule about PDA. Which meant that he wasn't going to be lynched on the first day on the job.

But the one thing that bothered Harry more than the appearance of the only Weasly he hadn't really gotten along with was the fact that he heard rumors that Ron was living with him. It was confirmed by the twins later.

Still, it wasn't all bad. According to the Prophet Umbridge was sentenced to Azkaban for attempting to kill a member of a prominent American Pure Blood family. The fact that said member was only half human never made it to the paper.

McGonagall was still angry over the fact that Dumbledore never bothered to mention detecting blood quills the moment they entered the wards. That was the most likely reason why the old goat was now avoiding her like the plague. She looked quite ready to hex him!

Third Azkaban Breakout! Delores Umbridge returns to post as Senior Undersecretary!

Duo was not happy at all. The Toad was back in her previous position! He didn't know whether she was more dangerous as a Ministry worker or as a teacher.

When he saw the grateful looks the first years sent him for getting her away from the school he realized she had done more damage as a teacher.

Besides, after Shinigami came out around her, he knew it was probably safer for her to be far, far away from him.

Spring rolled around, and everyone soon bent to their studies as the tests were coming. The only person who was relaxed about the whole situation was Harry, and that was because he had already gone through them.

So McGonagall decided to give him a rare treat. He was allowed to apply for his apparition license early. Which had Harry bending over the books like everyone else.

It didn't lower the amount of glaring sent his way by jealous classmates though.

Harry was standing in in the circle and was ready to take the test. Hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult...then again practicals were more his cup of tea.

In less than a week he had the ability down pat, but he hadn't fully mastered it. But he had gotten good enough that he got his license. Now he had to get Sirius to teach him side along!

Duo decided that his boyfriend had spent enough time bent over books, so he highjacked him without a word in edgewise.

But Duo wasn't the only one with tricks up his sleeve. Harry had his Firebolt and was looking at the sky with a grin. Seeing no point not to humor him, Duo unleashed his wings and they took off.

Harry let out a whoop of delight. Duo was being a pest by flying around him in circles.

"How goes the quest for good grades?" he smirked.

Duo groaned. He had learned the hard way to avoid Hermione when she had a certain look in her eyes. Unfortunately for him, Harry had taken it upon himself to show Hermione where he was hiding and help drag him into the library.

What he wanted to know was how the hell Harry always found him without fail!

He had once asked his boyfriend how he always pulled it off when even Heero and Wu Fei couldn't, and Harry had cackled.

"That...is a secret!" said Harry with a wag of his finger. Duo really hated the fact that Heero had introduced Harry to the Slayers series on Christmas.

Harry had taken a liking to Xellos, the Mysterious Priest.

When they landed, Duo spotted Hermione with a large book in her hands. Before he could flee, Harry had firmly grabbed his ear and began to pull him to her.

"Have you two read the Prophet lately?"

Surprised, Harry let go of Duo's by now much abused ear. Whenever Duo whined about the fact that his friends enjoyed pulling his ears, Harry always reminded him flatly that it was either his ear or the braid.

Not that Harry didn't use the long rope as a leash when Duo was getting out of hand. (Heero taught him that trick.)

"What now?" asked Harry.

She showed them the paper, and both of them curse.

The Toad was at it again. This time she was trying to ban students with Fairy blood in them. Fortunately for them, it hadn't gone over too well.

Goblins were classified as a faerie species by the Ministry. And they were threatening to revolt if the law was passed. And if that happened, the students had guaranteed to revolt on their own. They did not want to study the new goblin revolt in Binns class.

The entire situation was tumultuous at best. If things didn't calm down and soon, everything would snap. And it would result in more loss of life.

OWLs were upon the fifth years. Harry was taking his new free time by trying something new. Reading while flying. It actually proved to be easier than he thought. Every once in a while he would look up and make course corrections and went back to reading.

Much to his surprise, Hermione was all for it.

He noted that the level of glaring sent his way had gone up since he began doing that. He attributed it to the fact that everyone was stuck inside while he enjoyed the fresh air.

At least he didn't have to worry about lunch. Dobby and Winky provided him with a few things to snack on. Much to his relief, when he suggested bonding Winky to him it seemed to bring her out of her stupor.

It had another benefit that he didn't realize until Draco pointed it out.

Winky made an excellent spy. Not only did most students not even bother to notice house elves, but most of them never knew they were around in plain sight!

Which is when Harry began to make note of what was around him. And found that the elves were everywhere the portraits were not. And in spots where they couldn't reach, the ghosts tended to hover out of sight. So Harry made the mistake of mentioning it to Heero.

Which had the Perfect Soldier making note of them. The poor house elves nearly had a heart attack!

It was during the History of Magic exam that Harry had a disturbing vision. Duo and the others were inside while he took a nap by the lake.

It was Sirius. He was inside a place he didn't recognize and he was being tortured by Voldemort himself. The place was filled with baubles of clear glass and fog.

Harry woke up with a start. Was that another vision? So he reviewed what he had seen and took in all the details about the scene.

Sirius looked like he always did but with subtle differences. For one thing he looked more haggard than last time. And his robes were tattered.

Well the last bit could have been explained by the torture, but Harry had a feeling that wasn't it. They had looked old, and Sirius had taken to wearing his newer robes that Harry had bought him for Christmas. Plus the regular clothes under them looked too...wizard fashion. Sirius had developed a taste for muggle ensembles.

And his haggard look...well it reminded him of the way Sirius originally looked after his escape.

All the little things came together as he realized that there was a good chance the vision was faked somehow.

Waiting outside the exam hall Duo immediately went to his boyfriend.

"What's wrong?"

"Another vision. Sirius might be attacked."

"Hold up...might be?"

"Certain points didn't add up in the vision. He was too haggard and wearing mostly wizard wear."

"And recently he has been wearing more muggle clothes and foregoing robes. Is it possible for a vision to be faked?"

"I have no idea. But like I said, it doesn't add up."

"Do you have any idea where he may be attacked?"

"It took me a while, but I finally remembered where I saw that blasted door before. Chances are the attack is in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic."

"Hang on a bit. We'll create a plan of attack before we do anything."

Reluctantly Harry agreed to that. Hermione was impressed at how the pilots managed to calm her brash friend long enough to come up with a plan.

Duo soon came back and dragged Harry to see Snape. Who was less than pleased.

"What is it now? I am working on a..."

"Very volatile potion," chorused the two.

"Seriously Snape, can't you come up with a better excuse to avoid students?" asked Duo.

He raised an annoyed eyebrow in response.

"Usually I am working on a potion when I use it. Now what is so important that you use Heero's password to get in?"

"Another vision. Sirius may or may not be attacked at the Department of Mysteries."

"Are you sure?"

"I had it during the History of Magic exam was going on. The only problem with it was that there were inconsistencies with the vision that didn't add up."

After hearing that he ordered them to sit tight and not to touch anything. He disappeared into his office and came back with a bored expression.

"Sirius is perfectly fine in his house, and Remus is planning on keeping him well occupied until school ends. As for the location, none of the guards have mentioned any presence of Voldemort."

"Which means what exactly?" asked Harry.

"It means for once, let the adults handle whatever the Dark Lord has cooked up for you. Consider it a change of pace."

Harry looked considerably happy about that news. He didn't like all those situations he usually landed in. And to insure that he didn't do anything too rash, Duo promptly dragged Harry to the Room of Requirement.

When the year ended, they heard the news that they definitely didn't want to hear.

Voldemort had made his presence known. He made an attempt on the Hall of Prophecies and failed, but not before several of his followers had been captured.

Peter Pettigrew was among those captured, and Sirius couldn't be happier about the news. The day after Peter was captured and tried, Sirius was declared a free man and given a large amount for compensation.

Harry was thrilled at the news, and they were preparing a vacation to the L4 colony to see Quatre's sisters.

Harry was practically bouncing on his seat. Darien had mentioned that his adoptive older sister (and by extension Harry's) was going to be on L4 along with them.

Soon the shuttle took off...and they hit a snag.

The Foundation was looking for the pilots on the shuttle. Fortunately they had considered that possibility and had packed Polyjuice potion.

The five snuck to the on board bathroom, and five minutes between them the looked nothing like they first did.

Heero now looked like a younger version of Snape, complete with the hook nose. Duo had used his faerie abilities to change his hair color to bright blue with emerald green eyes. Darien had turned into a male version of his mother Lily with James' hazel eyes. Quatre decided to turn into Draco, much to Harry's horror. As for Wu Fei...well he turned into a younger version of Remus, to Sirius' amusement.

Finding that the pilots weren't on, they allowed the shuttle to continue on it's course.

Quatre was quickly swamped with sisters, nieces and nephews the minute he entered the door. Harry and Darien were laughing on the side, while everyone else stared in something akin to shock.

Once they entered Quatre's mansion, something amusing happened.

Harry was swarmed by every one of Quatre's sisters who happened to be there. All of them were cooing over how adorable he was. The fact that he was a friend of their brother only made it better.

When everyone had more or less gotten introduced and situated, Darien lead them to the circus.

"Sweet. Now I can see someone else throwing things at you..." said Harry when he heard what Catherine did to his brother.

Darien raised an eyebrow at that statement.

"Ron usually throws large textbooks at you...and the others are always throwing the quaffle at you during the games."

"True. But don't I always catch them?"

Harry snickered.

"Does she even know you found your little brother?" asked Duo.

"She will in an hour when I call her."

Harry had a sudden inspiration. He went into his room and brought out his owl.

"How would she react to Hedwig?" he asked impishly.

Duo snickered at the thought.

Darien raised his eyebrow silently, then went to writing a letter to his adoptive sister. Five minutes later Hedwig was off.

Half an hour before they were ready to head to the circus, they got a call from a rather irate Catherine.

"Was it too much to ask that you call? What's with the owl?"

Peals of snickering was heard on the phone by Duo, Harry and Sirius. Darien soothed his annoyed sister and explained while trying to hide the amusement in his voice. He wasn't very successful.

Harry watched with awe as Darien stood by the board as Catherine threw knives at him. He had been suitably impressed with the show, and this was the best part.

Darien didn't even react when Cathy threw the razor sharp knives a little too close to his unmentionables. Or a bare centimeter from his right ear. Harry gasped in shock as she threw each knife with precision, and his brother never once moved or reacted.

Darien didn't only do his bit at the knife throwing. He was also in the tightrope walk, without a net, and a few tricks with the lions and tigers. He included his own familiar in the last act, and the audience gasped in shock as the tiger's blue flames outclassed the ring of fire and even incorporated the blaze into the flames on it's tail.

Darien had named his cat Lily.

"Hey Trowa, who's the kid?" asked Cathy.

"Cathy, meet my younger brother Harry. Harry this is Cathy."

Hedwig sensed her master's presence, as she landed promptly on his shoulder. Cathy was very happy over the way Harry treated his beloved owl.

"Younger brother?"

"I found who my parents were. The only problem was that someone killed them before I found them. Harry was the only survivor of the attack."

"Nice to meet you ma'am," said Harry politely.

"No need for the ma'am. You can call me Cathy."

Harry blushed a bit. Cathy giggled, and she gave him a tour of the circus. Harry loved the place, as the performers made the whole place feel very homey. Duo really loved the elephants for some reason.

Over his summer break, Harry learned more about acrobatics, swords and computers than he would have thought possible. Wu Fei had declared his swordplay adequate, since he needed practice more than anything. Cathy and Darien worked on his acrobatic performance, and it quickly became clear that Harry had a natural talent for it. His naturally lean frame combined with his quick reflexes served him well. Cathy even mentioned having him perform on some of the simple maneuvers in a crowd.

Heero of course said his hacking skills were fair, but he simply wasn't suited for it. At best he could hack into the OZ computers or their security system, but major computers would be too difficult for him. Harry could care less about that, since it meant he could at least figure out what was wrong with his new laptop without asking Heero every time.

When they headed back to Earth, the shuttle was once again stopped. There was just one problem.

The pilots were captured. Harry watched in horror as the soldiers dragged his boyfriend and older brother away. Since they didn't want to attract too much attention they didn't resist too much.

Of course the soldiers never found the wands. Heero had them in his secret hiding spot where he stored all of his weapons. Something Duo had tried repeatedly to find with absolutely no success.

Harry was bent over his laptop using the tricks Heero showed him to hack into the OZ mainframe. He was using all of them just to get in and find his family. Sirius would have been worried, but he could understand his godson's desire to help the pilots.

Each of them had become family to them, even Heero and Wu Fei. And Harry would do anything to protect his family. Or as Hermione would put it, his 'saving people thing' was working on overdrive.

Harry wouldn't have denied that claim. He felt the separation from Duo very keenly, and losing his brother made it worse. Who knew what the soldiers were doing to them. They were viewed as terrorists and had caused all sorts of problems for the Foundation and that guaranteed that they wouldn't simply let them go without a fight.

Suddenly he broke through the last barrier. It was with a bit of shock that he did that. So he quickly scanned the files and finally resorted to going into Heero's room to borrow his special search program. He really hoped the boy wouldn't shoot him for going into his room without permission.

Search parameters: Gundam Pilots-holding cells-interrogation

The laptop whirled as it used the portable hard drive's sole program to search for those specific parameters. Finally it stopped and Harry read with bated breath.

Located Gundam Pilots on civilian shuttle. Currently being held at L2 base until execution date scheduled. Colonel Une has expressed interest in using pilots to test new suits as their opponent.

Mad Five have developed new suits using two of the Gundam Pilots data. 01 and 03 are the main test subjects for new suits.

Caution: 02 has an irritating ability to pick locks, despite thorough searches for picks. 01 has an unlimited arsenal which cannot be located at this time.

Gundams are currently missing, no known location to date. Pilots refuse to name their location.

Harry let out a whoop as he looked up the bases on L2. There were two which fit his conditions.

One was abandoned, mostly. The other had gained a large amount of soldiers recently. Which gave him two options.

He could either check out the abandoned one first or go into the one with the large amount of soldiers.

So he boarded a Sweeper shuttle to L2 the next day with only a few items, fully prepared to free his family.
