a/n- Okay next chapter and I'm rather pleased with this one! Please review!
"Well," Harry said as he walked with Chris outside into the back garden of the manor, rocking him the way that Ona had shown him with Jason.
"Well isn't it funny how us Potters and Blacks keep ending up together Chris? Your da and mine. Your sister and me and I'll bet anything Jason and you are going to be great friends. And I can tell you right this moment that I will always be here for you. Not that I have to worry about male influence on you seeing as your living with the Weasley's. But you see your father was Sirius Black and he was my godfather. He died saving me, he sacrificed his life for mine in more then one way and I will not let that go unpunished. Looks like you've calmed down a bit huh? Let's go get you some breakfast," Harry finished taking Chris back inside and placing him near Jason at the table, everyone soon eating.
"So what now Mr. Potter? What are your plans for the rest of the summer?" Dumbledore asked to the young man.
"Settling down here. Getting the Burrow protected is top priority and keeping a low profile. I've pissed Voldemort off and he's gonna be seeking revenge like usual," Harry replied as he stuffed some eggs into his mouth.
"Harry what do you have planned for the Burrow. I've been working on some extra protection after the burrow was attacked," Bill said to Harry.
"Something special I have planned. My wards are pretty strong because of my blood line. But I'll still need your help Bill. You know the area far better then I do. If your not busy we can start tomorrow. Till then I suggest all of you staying here. Remus, Ara I'd be more then happy if you'd like to move in here. I know it's kinda crazy but you'd be protected here," Harry said to them.
"How long will the wards take?" Mrs. Weasley asked, not liking to be away from the burrow for a long period of time.
"Just a few days. It's nothing to grand, more simple but powerful," Harry replied as picked up the fork Jason threw.
"How will Remus and I get to the ministry?" Mr. Weasley said looking at his watch.
"Hedwig will take you and pick you up. Just call her name, she'll come,"Harry replied as the white phoenix appeared.
"Alright then see you all this evening," Mr. Weasley said standing up.
"Yes and Harry, Ara and I would love to take you up on the offer. Have a nice day every one," Remus said going to join Mr. Weasley's side and in a burst of flame the men were gone.
"Well then," Mrs. Weasley said, "why don't we all go for a picnic for lunch. Ginny come and help me make a lunch for all of us later,"
"Mum!" Ginny said.
"March young lady!" Mrs. Weasley said, Ginny having no choice but to go.
"Well I'm gonna head to the library till lunch then," Hermione said.
"Ms. Granger could I join you?" Dumbledore asked.
"Of course Professor," Hermione replied, leaving with her headmaster.
"Mr. Potter," Professor McGonagall said sternly.
"Yes Professor?" Harry replied.
"I have a question about you animagus forms? You have several?"
"Yes professor. It's complicated, the talent has no name but I can change into any none magical form I want but I only have a few magical forms," Harry replied.
"That is truly amazing," replied the aged Professor.
" 'Excuse me Harry," said one of the twins but would you mind if Hedwig took us to the store. We need to open up."
"Course guys go right ahead," Harry replied.
"Hey Harry how about we take the boys flying," Ron whispered into Harry's ear.
"Hermione would murder us," Harry replied.
"Come on Harry she isn't..." Ron stopped as Ara interrupted them.
"Ronald you have that look that Sirius would get when he would try to talk James into something that would probably get him killed or worse anger Lily. Let me warn you of something," she said dropping her voice, "if Hermione finds out your on your own."
"Harry?" Ron said.
"Get the brooms and your brothers. I want at least a buffer zone if Hermione comes to kill us,"
Ron smiled and called Percy, Bill and Charlie over.
Soon the boys were in the air, that was till lunch when things took a turn for the worst.
"Harry pass me the biscuits," Ron asked as Harry handed him the basket.
"I will Hermione would come eat," Harry said looking to Professor Dumbledore.
"Alas my dear boy she will not even let me privy to the information she is looking for," the headmaster said.
"It just..." but Harry did not get to finish his sentence as his hand reached for his famous scar.
"Harry?" everyone said, looking frightened.
Harry's face contorted into pain but not a sound left his mouth. His scar became bright red and soon enough blood started to drip from it, like red tears.
"What the hell?" Ron said out loud.
"Voldemort, he must be trying to get into Harry's head," Dumbledore said, "Every one move away from him!"
"I'm not leaving him," Ron said.
"If Voldemort wins Mr. Weasley he will posses Harry, he will kill you and any who stay close enough. Move back!" Professor Dumbledore said, his eyes lite with power, Ron did as he was told reluctantly.
"YOU BLOODY BASTARD!" Harry screamed out loud as he started to claw at his face.
Ron looked at Dumbledore and then at Harry, "Oh hell," Ron said as he ran right back towards Harry and grabbed his arms, trying to stop Harry from hurting himself.
"Well are you lot just gonna stand there or help me?" Ron yelled at his brothers.
Charlie and Bill shared a look and then went to Ron's aid, holding down Harry as he thrashed and started yelling obscenities.
It took about ten minutes but finally Harry stopped moving, his body becoming relaxed.
"Harry? You alright mate?" Ron asked his friend.
Harry stood up, a little un sturdy but did not fall.
"Harry you need to tell me if it's you?" Ron asked, slowly as he and his brothers took a few steps back.
"It's me Ron," Harry said.
"Mr. Weasley have him prove it," Dumbledore said.
Ron looked at Harry, "Harry what do I keep in my trunk at the very bottom."
"Hogwarts A History," Harry replied, his face looking angry.
"It's him," Ron said out loud.
"Mr. Potter what happened?" Dumbledore said out loud.
"Where is Hermione?" Harry asked instead.
"Library," Ron responded.
"I got some news," Harry said slowly, "Voldemort felt me and tried to fight back. My defense are strong, he couldn't get through. I need to talk to Hermione," Harry said heading towards the Manor.
"Harry what's going on," Ron asked, Dumbledore right behind him as well as Bill, Charlie, Percy and Ginny. Molly, Ara and McGonagall dealt with clean up.
"Hermione, she has information that I need," he said storming though the manor and into the library where they found Hermione reading and jotting down notes in a muggle notebook.
"Harry? Professor? Guys? Is everything alright?" Hermione asked, worried.
"You tell me Hermione," Harry said.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"What are you researching Hermione? And no bull shit! What's in that book?" Harry said, getting slightly angry.
"Harry I? Your hurt?" she said.
"Not now Hermione. I need to know what your researching?!" Harry yelled this time.
"Harry you'd never believe me! And if you did I don't want to give false hope," Hermione replied.
"You found away didn't you? You found away to go into the veil! You found away for us to bring Sirius back?" Harry questioned.
"Ms. Granger is this true?" Dumbledore said looking awed, not even he understood to ful knowledge what was behind the veil.
"Yes, I think I have any way. But there is no way to test out my theory, not with out someone risking their life," Hermione replied.
"Tell me," Harry said, a little more angry then he meant to.
"Harry lay of her! Get your temper in check!" Ron said jumping into defend Hermione.
"No Ron he's right," Hermione said looking Harry straight in the eye. "Two people are needed, some one related by blood, another with enough power to enter the veil. From everything I've read it seems the veil has existed for centuries and only one other man was ever able to walk in and out of it," Hermione said.
"Who?" Dumbledore asked, interested.
"Harold Potter, Harry's great, great, great grandfather. Seems after sometime though even he couldn't get back out and was lost to the veil forever."
"How did he enter," Harry asked.
"As an animagus," Hermione answer, "no human can enter and come back out but animals can, but each time it take life out of you. And that's even saying if it works."
"If we were to do it what would we need?" Harry asked.
"Nothing. I have the spell to open the veil. But Harry there is a slim chance of this working, or Sirius even still being on the other side."
"Well I'll have to chance it! If my great some odd grandfather could do it maybe I can. I'll enter in a magical form, something it'll be harder to sap the power out of quickly," Harry said, all of this swimming threw his head.
"Harry," the headmaster said, "I really must detest. This is highly dangerous! Something that Sirius would not want you to risk. And how did you figure out what Mr. Granger was up to?"
"Voldemort, he knows. He was telling Bellatrix that Hermione was trying to find away into the veil. He wanted to send Bellatrix after Hermione, kill her off and steal her research. It's at this point he figure out I was there," Harry replied.
"Harry still I don't like this idea," the Headmaster replied.
"Well I'm sorry Professor but I have to try. You owe this at least," Harry said who looked the older man in the eye as he turned into a phoenix and flew onto Hermione's shoulder, Ron grabbed onto Hermione's robes just in the nick of time as the burst into flames and where gone.
"What do we do?" Percy said, planning already to head down to the ministry to stop this foolishness.
"We stay here and hope you mother doesn't find out what I just let happen," Professor Dumbledore said not waiting to what Molly Weasley would do to him.
"YOUR CRAZY HARRY!" Ron yelled at him for the fifth time since they arrived in the department of mysteries, the veil facing the three of them.
"What if you don't come back huh?" Ron yelled.
"I will come back and if Sirius is on the other side he will be joining me! Now Hermione read the spell!" Harry said.
"Harry I don't know?" Hermione said.
"I'm going in with or with out the spell! Read it!" Harry said, softly this time.
Hermione closed her eyes and started to chant
"Blood of my blood, heart of my heart, open, give safe passage, blood of my blood, heart of my heart, do no waver, let entrance, blood of my blood..." Hermione said as the veil shown bright white.
"Now Harry!" Hermione said amazed as she watched her best friend, her cousin turn into his phoenix form, his feathers black as night and took off into the veil
"Please," Hermione said, "please Godric let this work!"
"WHAT! YOU LET THEM DO WHAT! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MARBLES PROFESSOR!"
...Molly Weasley found out where her youngest son was.
Harry flapped his wings harder and harder, he had to find Sirius and he had to get out. Behind the veil it was all white, like being lost in clouds, but every few miles he found patches of land. And finally up ahead he saw a very familiar look man. In his phoenix form he landed next to Sirius who was skinny as a stick and barley awake. Harry changed back into his human form.
"Sirius! Sirius I need you to wake up!" Harry said shaking the haggard looking man, his godfather.
"James," Sirius said look as Harry. "James I'm sorry! I left Harry! I'm sorry James! I'm sorry!"
"Sirius! SIRIUS! Snap out of it!" Harry said shaking him, Sirius eyes becoming clearer.
"Finally some one has come," a woman said from behind Harry, causing him to turn quickly, his wand out.
"Who are you!" Harry demanded as he looked over the ghostly woman, who wore long flowing white robes, having dark black hair and deep hazel eyes.
"It's all right. Your Harry Potter I'm guessing? Nice to meet you really! I'm Death and I have a favor to ask you."
"I'm not letting you take Sirius!" Harry said.
"Dear boy I do not want to take your god father. It is not yet his time. He has fought so much and to die now? No I think not, not if your willing to help me that is." death said to Harry.
"I'll give you anything for his life," Harry said.
"First off boy don't promise anything so grand with out knowing what I want first. And it's simple. I will allow you and assist you with saving your godfather with a promise that at a later date I will ask you a favor, it will help both of us when it comes to the destruction of the mortal known as Tom Riddle. Do we have a deal young man?"
"Your asking me to defeat Riddle in exchange for my godfather's life,"
"Yes," death said to Harry.
"I accept," Harry replied, lowering his wand.
"Good. Now one other thing, I may visit you time to time so don't be alarmed. Now wake up your godfather, get him to transform into his animal form," Death said to Harry.
"Sirius," Harry said turning to his godfather who still did not seem very alert.
"Sirius I need you to turn into padfoot. Come on Sirius just try, I'll help you," Harry said focusing his energy on helping Sirius change forms.
"He's too weak," Harry said to Death.
"Then transform him," Death said as if it was obvious.
Harry nodded and waved his hand over Sirius who soon was a big, black gruffy dog.
"Now what?" Harry asked.
"Turn into your form, grab your godfather and follow me," Death said.
Harry changed into his phoenix form, grabbed Sirius with his strong claws, spread his wings and followed the women till the next thing Harry knew was he was being thrown out of the veil in human form. The last thing he remembered before he passed out was Ron saying, "It worked!
