A/N: Okay, so I've been added to 150+ favourite author/story or story/author alert lists
WOW!
AND, I have 60 reviews now! Thats like, ten more reviews since the last, again, WOW!
Oh, I realised I never put one of these so:-
DISCLAIMER: If you are under the impression that Harry Potter belongs to me, mate, you seriously need to see a psychiatrist...
"Your name?"
"Sirius Orion Black"
"Born on?"
"15 November 1959"
"Hogwarts House?"
"Gryffindor"
"Okay...What name were you referred to as when your real name could not be used for any reason?"
"Padfoot...and Snuffles by Harry, Ron and Hermione"
"How did you escape from Hogwarts in June 1994?"
"I escaped on Buckbeak,a hippogriff"
Harry motioned for Dennis to give him the antidote, marking 'Sirius Black' as alive and identified, and turned to his godfather with an expression of pure joy on his face.
It was hard to believe that all he had dreamt of for years was now suddenly coming true...He had met his parents for the first time in 27 years today, and here he was now, standing before the godfather he had lost 13 years ago, whose death had still caused him pain, who was now looking at him with a smile on his face, alive and well...
Life was good...
He looked at Harry, whom when he saw last, had been a 15 year old teenager, and who now was an adult, and not only that, he was the head auror, which was an accomplishment for people years older than he was, but for someone as young as him, well, it would suffice to say that it was truly remarkable...
'He's all grown up now...' Sirius thought sadly...he had again missed 13 years of his godson's life...again, he had left him alone...he shook his head..he truly was a horrendous godfather...
"So," he asked, trying to clear his head of those thoughts
"What has been going on these years, and, most importantly, how the hell am I alive if I died?" he finished, raising his eyebrow questioningly
"You're not the only one Sirius, we're still trying to figure out why this is happening..."
"Uh...what is happening?" Sirius asked, confused
"Well..." Harry started hesitatingly "You see, people have been returning for a while now...it's not just you...it's like...at least two or three people, who are supposed to be dead, appear each and every day...I mean..no one knows how or why, I asked Dumbledore's portrait, but even he-"
"Wait...Dumbledore's portrait? Why would you ask his portrait?"
Harry looked distinctly uncomfortable, as if he hadn't wanted to be the one to tell him this
"Umm...Sirius...Dumbledore's ...um...he's dead...died a year after you did..."
"D-Dumbledore's dead?" Spluttered Sirius incredulously
He had, frankly, never even thought it possible for the Headmaster to die...he always seemed so...so...invincible...however much Sirius resented Dumbledore for imprisoning him in that house, and not allowing Harry to be informed about the prophecy...him dying was major blow to him and his morale for the war...
"Sirius, calm down..." said Harry, putting a hand on his shoulder comfortingly
He looked at Harry "A lot of people died after me, didn't they?" he asked softly
Harry didn't reply, he just sighed, softly and sadly, his thoughts again on Remus, Tonks and Fred...
He suddenly remembered his parents, waiting at home for him, and decided that he might as well cheer his godfather up like this...
He grinned at Sirius "There's someone you'd like to meet...Come on..." he said, dragging his godfather to the fireplace
He threw some Floo powder, shouting '12 Grimmauld Place, and grinning at the look on Sirius' face
"-and you should've seen the look on Ron's face...it was a mix between well, horror, incredulity, happiness and betrayal" finished Ginny
"So you're the sister of Harry's best friends?" James asked, an expression of utmost awe on his face
"Yeah" she said, grinning
"Merlin...he's got guts..." James said, in a hushed, awe-filled voice
Ginny and Lily looked at each other, and then both of them burst out laughing, James joining in after a few moments, when they heard a loud wail.
"Oh Merlin" said Ginny, hurriedly getting up, and rushing out of the room
James and Lily looked at each other, both thinking whether they might meet one of their grandchildren now, as Ginny re-entered the room, cradling a wailing baby in her arms, looking weary
"Oh come on Harry, where are you when I need you" she muttered, rocking the baby on whom, it seemed, it didn't have any effect
James and Lily stared at the bay, transfixed, when she looked up at them, her cherubic face streaked with tears, Thick, red hair visible on her head
"She's beautiful..." breathed Lily, staring at her and getting up. She walked over to Ginny, who was still trying to calm her down, she asked "Can I hold her?"
Ginny smiled at her "Of course" she said, handing the still crying child to Lily
To everyone's amazement and astonishment, she stopped crying at once when she was cradled by her grandmother
"Wow" murmured Ginny "the only person who has been able to do that is Harry" she said, looking at Lily with a smile on her face "Lily must really adore you" she said
"L-Lily?" asked both the older Potters, confusion plainly visible on their faces
"Yeah...she's Lily, Lily Luna Potter"
(A/N:I was going to end it here, but that's just too cruel)
"L-Lily? After me?" Lily asked, touched
Before they had time to answer, a whoosh and a crash alerted them to someone's arrival through the fireplace, as Baby Lily started wailing again
"Ouch, Harry, What the-what? What the hell are you so excited about?"
"Just come, Sirius"
Their mouths fell open, as a man with black hair and a gaunt face was dragged out of the fireplace by Harry, who grinned at their dumbstruck expressions before rushing to his daughter, who was still wailing loudly, and taking her in his arms, where she snuggled comfortably, immediately calming down.
The man who must have been Sirius was staring at Lily and James as if he couldn't believe it,then he turned to Harry and asked weakly "Am I hallucinating?"
Harry shook his head." No, Sirius, they're both real and alive" he replied gently
Sirius stared at his old friends, because of whom, he had again failed to notice anything, or anyone else in the room, not even really noticing the baby in his godson's arms, and then, in one swift movement, he gathered the two of the in a heartfelt hug, tears freely flowing down his cheeks.
Harry and Ginny watched this exchange, tears of his own gathering in Harry's eyes, as Ginny enveloped his hand in hers, smiling softly at him.
Padfoot and Prongs were together again.
A/N: Okay, so I decided to write the 'reading the books ' fic first.
It's going to be a 'Hogwarts reads HP' since they are my favourites, set in 5th year, with the teachers, Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Kingsley, Amelia Bones and Oliver Wood in it, along with Mr. And Mrs. Weasley, Percy, Fudge and El Sapo
All pairings will be canon
Now, should I start writing it now, because I really want to do one, or should I start after completing this fic, since if I write two fics at a time, updates will be slower, as I won't have time to update both of them at a reasonably fast pace...
Tell me what you think.
