In Remembrance of Sirius Black,
Harry, who had tears in his eyes, turned to Snuffles who transformed and comforted his godson.
Had this happened earlier, everybody (who didn't know the truth) would have yelled in panic.
Now however, they weren't that sure. Harry Potter called his son James Sirius and he reacted this way to the Death of Bla-Sirius.
If the man was really a Death Eater and Potter lied for attention or was confunded, he would not show this reaction.
a true Gryffindor,
"True that," Sirius laughed.
Remus seconded this statement, thinking of their school days. You had too be brave to do this.
an AWESOME godfather,
"Do you really think that?" Sirius asked.
"YES!" both Harry and Logan yelled.
The latter continued, "You offered me to move with you the second your name was cleared one the day I met you. You tried to give me the information I needed. And so much more." He turned to Dumbledore, "The lack of this particular information lead to Sirius Death and the destruction of the Department of Mysteries. Okay and to Fudge's sacking and the Ministry believing me and the Imprisonment of several Death Eaters like Lucius Malfoy."
The Minister, Draco and a few others paled, while the Order member did not know whether to laugh or cry.
kickbutt escape artist,
The students laughed at the choice of words.
As did the...less mature adults. Yes, this is a good way to describe them. Very good, indeed.
and a loyal friend.
"I totally agree," Remus said. "I mean, just look at your animagus form!"
Sirius smiled proudly.
Who lived and died like he said he would
"For my friends."
for his friends.
"Yes, that's what I said. No need to repeat it, stupid parchment," Sirius muttered the last part.
Who never got to walk free.
"Not this time around," Madam Bones promised the group around Harry.
They started cheering.
"Was he cleared though? Post mortem I mean?" Remus asked, causing the group to quieten.
"Yes, after my fifth year," Logan replied.
Harry thanked the universe, Merlin and every divinity he could think of that Teddy, James, Albus, and Lily decided to come back.
Who had to live with a crazy house-elf and a screaming portrait for a year.
"We eventually replaced the whole wall later," Logan revaled.
Most people who knew what he was talking about had a why-did-we-not-think-of-that expression of their faces.
"First thing we'll do when we get back," Sirius promised (himself).
Also he died by drapery due to Bellatrix Lestrange
"Oh c'mon! All the 'cool' ways to die and I die by drapery. A frickin' Drapery of all things! I expect that there is at least a good story behind this," Sirius protested.
Logan looked down. "There is. And it's all-"
Teddy facepalmed. "How often are we going to have to repeat it until you understand? It's not your fault! Voldemort tricked you! Blame him! Blame Lestrange! Goddammit, it's more Kreacher's or Dumbledore's fault then yours! Blame them if you must, but not YOURSELF!"
Then he turned to Lily, "You know that I used a bad word. I'll be adding a knut to the swear jar when we get home. Don't repeat it, okay, Lily-Flower?"
"Yes, Teddy," she affirmed, giggling quietly.
"How come he's her favorite brother despite the fact that he's the only one of us that is not related to her by blood?" James wondered out loud.
"You wanna know my secret, James? I'm always nice," Teddy sort-of quoted.
Logan, James and Teddy laughed.
"I understood that reference," Logan managed to say between fits of laughter, promptly causing the three of them to laugh even harder.
"Not to give the impression that I have something against inside jokes, but they're only funny when I know what it's about," Sirius interrupted.
"You see this year, meaning 2012, there was this movie 'The Avengers'. Teddy referenced one character, Bruce Banner who said 'You wanna know my secret, Cap? I'm always angry'. I then directly quoted another character, Steve Rogers."
"Dr. Bruce Banner is the best!" Teddy said nodding.
"No way! Iron Man is waaay more awesome!" James disagreed.
"Boys, what have I told you?" Logan prevented an argument.
"Just because they resemble people we're named after that does not mean we can argue about them? Or something?" James guessed.
Logan shrugged. "Close enough, I suppose."
"Wait, what do you mean 'they resemble people we're named after'," Remus questioned.
"Dr. Bruce Banner is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, or see I guess, but he turns into a giant green rage monster, the Hulk, when angry. He's isolated from society. He thinks of himself as a monster and believes that everyone's lives would be better if he was not there. Doesn't think he deserves love either. Very smart too, he doesn't trust the authority blindly, and he has a prankster side you just need to reach.
Then we have Iron Man or Tony Stark. He describes himself as 'Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist'. Others do as 'volatile, self-obsessed and doesn't play well with others'. He has a horrible relationship with one of his parents. Also he accepts both Bruce and the Hulk even before meeting them, going as far as trying to provoke the Hulk to prove the others he's not dangerous. He too is a prankster, although he does not need much encouragement."
They could see the resemblance.
and his friends are laughing with him about it now
"Probably. James would find it hilarious," Remus laughed.
"Now, onto the memory..."
We see a room in the Department of Mystery, as Logan informs us.
The room is quite crowded. Noticeable people were Bellatrix Lestrange, Harry, Remus, Sirius and Neville Longbottom ("Me?").
Professor Dumbledore just entered the room and, apart from Bellatrix and Sirius, everyone stopped fighting.
Sirius ducked one of Bellatrix's curses and laughed.
"Come on, you can do better than that!"
You could here the Echo of the exclamation.
He was hit in the chest by a second red jet of light.
His eyes were wide, but you could still see the laughter on his face.
Slowly, he fell backwards into the veil behind him, mingled fear and surprise evident on his wasted, once-handsome face.
He did not reappear.
Bellatrix screamed triumphantly.
"After that I tried to Crucio Bellatrix, Voldemort took over my body and a lot of other stuff. When we were back in school Dumbledore finally told me the prophecy."
"Prophecy?" Harry asked.
"Yep," Logan popped the 'p'. "Quite honestly, I don't know why you bother with guards. There are four people who can remove it from the shelf. Professors Dumbledore and Trelawney, me and the Lord of Bad-French-and-anagrams himself. It goes like this: The one with the power to vanquish the - Dark Lord approaches… born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not… and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives… the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…Voldemort doesn't know all of this, just the first half."
The hall was shocked.
Harry's friends assured him that while he may have to make the final blow they would help on the way.
"Now let's move on to..."
And done!
