I don't own Harry Potter. This is back to the normal time now…
Chapter 14
Harry was ecstatic! He had just been told the words he has wanted to hear almost his entire life.
"You won't be returning to the Dursley's this summer." Professor Dumbledore had said. "You will be staying at McGonagall Manor with Professor McGonagall, Madame Hooch, Orion and Hermione." Harry felt great. "Also, Mr. Potter." Dumbledore continued. "I assume you have read the Prophet as of late?" Harry nodded. "The story of Sirius Black."
"Yes sir, they thought he betrayed my parents, but it wasn't him."
"Yes, I am glad you are up to date." Dumbledore's eyes were twinkling. "You see Sirius Black was your father's best friend, along with Remus Lupin, whom you have already met." He gestured to Professor Lupin, who smiled. "What you may not know is that Sirius Black is your godfather." Harry gasped. "He is not here at the moment, he is at his old family home." Harry looked disappointed. He had just found out that he had some kind of family left.
"He is cleaning it up and preparing it to be used once more. He asked me to speak to you in his stead." Remus stepped forward. "You see, he is actually really nervous about asking you." he chuckled. "I have told him you plan to stay at McGonagall Manor this summer, but he was wondering if you would like to spend the holidays next year at his home. He wishes for you to live with him, but only if you want to." Harry's eyes lit up and he nodded excitedly. "He will be glad to hear it. He will also be visiting you quite often I am sure." He smiled and stepped toward the fireplace. "Have a good summer Harry, I am sure I will see you again soon." He grabbed some Floo Powder and disappeared into the flames.
Technically Harry, Hermione and Orion didn't have to ride the train back to platform 9 ¾, but they did. It was part of the Hogwarts experience. When they got off the train they laughed at other students watching Professor McGonagall wearily. They thought they were done with her for a few months. Orion ran forward and hugged Professor McGonagall which made some students looked curiously at them. He then hugged his mother. Professor McGonagall took Hermione and Harry's hands and apparated. Madame Hooch apparated with Orion. It was Harry and Hermione's first time apparating so they were on the ground when Orion arrived. He chuckled and helped Hermione up, then Harry. They looked up at their new home for the summer and smiled.
"McGonagall Manor." Minerva stated with a smile.
So I did a double update because unfortunately I may be gone for a while. I will be losing my internet, I will continue writing and when I come back I may have quite a few updates, I even may try to get online somewhere else just to update once in a while. Sorry!
