Chapter fourteen

Sirius and their auror guard was able to get Harry into the department of mysteries before anyone figured out that the boy with Sirius Black was Harry Potter.

'We are pleased you have agreed to help Mr Potter.'

'I'm happy to Ma'am, I just want them stopped before others are killed.'

'Then you are about to help stop them. This is what you need to say. You will be sitting in the middle of the sacred circle with your wand in your wand hand. Look it over but you can read from the card if you wish.'

Harry took the card, he began reading but so did Sirius, 'Seems straight forward. I'll keep the card with me just in case.'

'Then if you can remove your shoes and step into the circle.'

'Will Harry feel anything?' Sirius asked.

'He will feel a pull on his magic, which will last until Peter Pettigrew arrives here or dies. It will not harm your godson Mr Black.'

'Even if it did I would still do it, he needs to pay,' Harry hugged his godfather then removed his shoes. He stepped into the circle then slipped his wand into his right hand before sitting down.

'You can start anytime you're ready Mr Potter.'

Harry nodded then took a couple of calming breaths, 'I call to the one with the dark mark whose life I saved to surrender to the ministry. Come to the department of mysteries to receive your just punishment for crimes against witches and wizards of this country,' Harry jerked as he gasped.

'Please try to stay silent Mr Potter, your magic is calling to Peter.'

Sirius and the auror kept watching as Harry seemed to be being pulled from the inside, sort of like a port key without being transported anywhere.

'It is very similar to a port key. The magical debt is pulling Peter towards the one that saved him. He will try to fight it but the moment he begins to feel weak he will know something serious is happening to him. He will feel that it is Harry that is calling him. After a few more minutes he will either give in to the call or die.'

Harry kept jerking for the next minutes until he slumped, 'He's coming.'

'The aurors are ready pup. When can Harry leave the circle?'

'The moment the aurors have Peter Pettigrew in custody.'

It was only fifteen minutes later that Amelia stepped into the room, 'He's in the holding cells that are warded against magic of any type.'

Sirius stopped at the edge of the circle ready to assist his godson if needed, 'Are you okay Harry?'

'Fine, it was a strange feeling but I'm good,' Harry allowed Sirius to hold onto him until he put his shoes back on.

'Do you think he will be able to give you information on Voldemort?' Sirius asked.

'We all believe he will. He might not know exactly what all the plans are but I'm sure he has used his rat animagus to gather his own information. After the information that Sirius and Mr Lupin supplied us on what type of person he is. We know Peter will make sure he has blackmail material. He will do that to make sure he is safe. Since he will be given veritaserum he will not be able to hide anything from us.'

'When will you question him Ma'am?' Harry asked.

'Very soon, he has been given two potions to flush out any potions he may have taken. We know Voldemort had many potions masters in his employ during the first war. We suspect he wanted a way to beat veritaserum. I should get back to my office, and I will see you on Thursday, unless we find out something that moves our time table up. Thank you again Harry.'

'I'm happy to help Ma'am, but you helped me as well, so thanks.'

Amelia smiled at Harry then left the department of mysteries, 'Let's get going pup.'

'Yeah,' Harry turned back to the unspeakable, 'Thanks for helping with this Ma'am.'

'You're welcome, but it is you that should be thanked,' the unspeakable bowed to Harry before she vanished.

'That was so cool.'

Sirius barked his dog like laughter then placed the hat back on Harry's head before they left the ministry.

'So how much longer before your home is ready?'

'Our home, until you're older and want your own.'

Harry smiled, 'Okay, our home.'

'Not long, it's having the last things done now. Dobby and Winky like their work and they do good work. I made sure they have breaks, that they eat and they can't work past nine. I had one room divided into two smaller rooms for them, but I noticed they seemed to spend more time together.'

'Well, house elves come from somewhere, so they must have babies.'

'Having to put up with Kreacher when I was young, I never wanted to think about them in that way.'

'I suppose most magicals don't want to think about it. So I might get to spend a couple of weeks there.'

'Yep, plus with the surprise I've worked out, I know you will enjoy the rest of your holidays.'

'You don't need to get me anything Sirius. You're giving me a home, that's more than enough.'

'I know, but this isn't just for you even if it was you that gave me the idea and it's you that will use it more. Now let's go have lunch.'

Right after lunch Sirius and the aurors helped Harry again with spells. Sirius had to leave so he could finish working on the house but he would return in time for dinner.

Harry had a shower after his mock duel with the auror, he changed into some of his new clothes then headed downstairs ready to eat. Sirius was talking to Auror Grey, but Harry could tell his godfather wasn't just talking to the female auror, he was flirting, and it looked like the auror was flirting right back. When she spotted Harry she straightened and took a step back from Sirius who turned to see his godson.

'You aren't doing anything you're not supposed to, are you Padfoot?'

'I'm always doing things I'm not supposed to pup, as long as it's legal. Now let's eat, I'm starving.'

Just as Harry and Sirius sat down they noticed apart from the place setting for Auror Grey, there were two more settings. The house elves had just popped in with the food when Amelia and Susan arrived.

'Lord Black, I would like to introduce my niece, Susan.'

Sirius stood then took Susan's hand, he brushed his lips over her knuckles as he gave her a bow.

'A pleasure to meet such a beautiful young lady.'

Susan blushed bright read making Amelia chuckle, Harry smiled but shook his head at his godfather's antics

'Hello Susan.'

'Hi Harry, how are you?'

'I'm fine, what about you?'

'I'm good. Aunty needed me out of the house for a couple of hours so the wards can be updated. I hope you don't mind me barging in.'

'Of course not,' Harry gave the girl a smile who smiled back then sat opposite.

'Let's eat then I can tell you the news.'

'About the rat,' Harry said as he dished himself up some food.

'Yes, he named names, he also explained that Voldemort is still at the house that belonged to his muggle relatives. We found out that Peter cannot reveal any information about the Riddles to any of the death eaters, nor about Voldemort's blood status. That information is protected under an unbreakable vow. Since I already knew, thanks to you Harry, I was able to get confirmation from him.'

'So none of them know he wasn't a pureblood?'

'No, they did not know. They all believe he is a pureblood since he is a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. He may not be the heir anymore, which they would know about, but it does not change his blood status. He used his link to Slytherin to gain followers. Most of us believe that many would desert him if they knew about his muggle father. We are going to release that information after our plan.'

'All anyone has to do is research the name Tom Riddle then work on the anagram.'

'What anagram?' Susan asked.

Harry grinned at Susan then flicked his wand where the words I am Lord Voldemort appeared in mid-air. He flicked it again making the letters rearrange themselves until they spelt Tom Marvolo Riddle.

'Marvolo gaunt was his wizard grandfather, Tom Riddle senior was his father and a muggle. His mother, Merope Gaunt was almost a squib due to inbreeding, but she could make potions. She slipped Tom a potion, they got married, got pregnant, then he left her. She gave birth to him in a muggle orphanage, died right after naming him. But Voldemort showed me how his name is an anagram when we were in the chamber of secrets. He believed I was going to die so he got a bit cocky by telling me about this.'

Everyone wanted to hear more, so Harry told the full story of what happened in the chamber of secrets. What surprised Harry was when Susan reached across and took his hand in hers, squeezing just a little. All Harry could do was smile at Susan while the adults sitting at the table watched what was happening between the two teens.
