CHAPTER ELEVEN

"Harry slow down" Lupin told him "We actually need to get stuff so we don't starve" he finished.

"Well I just want to see if he's replied yet" Harry replied looking down at his shoes.

"Harry even if he has, we cant just get him back straight away. We need a plan. I might have a few ideas but I'm waiting to here back from someone" Lupin said "And no Harry I'm not telling you. You'll just have to wait" Lupin finished as he saw Harry went to ask the question. "I want all the facts first before we go rushing into anything" Lupin added.

"Ok whatever. So does that mean you know I'm right?" Harry asked smiling at him.

"Yes I know your right. Falling thru the veil has happened once before and I'll explain everything when we've heard back from Sirius" Lupin said with that tone in his voice which meant this was the end of the discussion.

"Fine then" was all Harry replied.

When they returned home, Harry ran thru the door not even seeing the letter on the door step. He was to anxious to see if Sirius had written back to him or not. Lupin picked up the letter just as Harry called out, "He's replied He's replied".

"What does it say?" Lupin asked as he opened his letter.

Dear Moony and Harry

I'm glad Remus is helping you. Harry, your Mum and Dad both say hi and they love you very much. So we are trying to find out how to come back but no luck so far. Any ideas on your end?

Hope to see you soon

Love Sirius.

"Ok so now I'll read this" Lupin said sitting down on a chair.

Dear Remus Lupin,

I know exactly what you mean by wanting to find out about the veil. HE fell thru, my son. We weren't successful at getting him back though. His brother fell thru too, not thru the veil though, it was in his brothers house. My son Argon could see Jack and the plan was to pull Jack back through the little rip in the worlds as I like to refer to it as. But Argon slipped and fell through too. It has to be done by the person who can contact him, who first started knowing something was different. I hope this helps to get your friend Sirius back. Tell Harry Potter I said good luck with everything and not just getting Sirius back. I know he was a good friend to you as well Lupin, so I hope it works.

From Arwyn.

Harry was sitting there amazed and wide eyed. He had a great feeling in his stomach. He wanted to run and jump at the same time but a mental image of him falling ass over end filtered into his mind, so he just smiled and sat still waiting for Remus to say something. Lupin stayed quiet so Harry broke the silence.

"You know what this means?" He said

"Yes but you heard what else could happen?" Lupin replied.

"Huh? What?" Harry stammered.

"You can be the only one to pull him through again and you could fall thru too" Lupin told him.

"But we can get Sirius back. There's always risk in everything we do in life. We can get him back Remus" was all Harry could say. His mind was reeling with the fact that his god father, the closest thing he's ever had to a real parent and family, was able to come back but also because Lupin was being so difficult. Harry had the sudden urge to kick something, but as there was only chairs, tables and Lupin, he resisted the urge to do so.

Lupin knew Harry had something important to say when he called him Remus.

"Well Harry you're the only one who can decide this. But we'll need to sort out a proper plan incase you fall thru ok. And no arguing with that" Lupin told him. "OK?" He asked.

"Ok then. I'll write back to Sirius and let him know we have a plan and we just gotta work it out" he agreed as he looked for his quill. Lupin was very apprehensive about the whole situation but he wanted Sirius back as well and Harry had this little smile on his face that wouldn't go away and he knew Harry needed him back as well.

A letter had appeared on the table next to his books as Sirius walked thru to the kitchen to grab a drink. It was from Harry.

"James get in here" Sirius called. James came pelting and stopped in his tracks when he saw what Sirius was holding.

"Harry?" was all James asked. Sirius nodded and opened the letter and smiled.

"They have a plan. They just got to sort out some finer details whatever that means and then they'll get back to us" Sirius finished.

"Your going home. I knew Lupin and Harry would come thru. Harry would've made a great Marauder" James said smiling.

"I'll write back and then we can go let Lily know" Sirius replied "Maybe we can make him a Marauder. He can take over from you Prongs and Ron can take over the rats place, I'm sure he'd make a batter marauder than the rat" Sirius told him smiling but also had a look of complete anger in his eyes.

"You better make my son a marauder" James laughed and they both headed out the door as Sirius finished writing his reply.
