Chapter fourteen

'Minerva, I believe Harry should have a drink before I bring in our guests.'

'Very well Albus,' Minerva poured Harry a glass of Firewhisky, but she also poured one for herself and Albus.

'Thanks because I'm not sure what to think or feel right now,' Harry took a sip of the strong liquid, 'Okay, so who is this person that is alive?'

'Before I say Harry, remember, I did not know what happened, so I could not do a lot. I really wished I knew who died so I could have put plans together that might have allowed them to live.'

'I get that, some of the deaths from that night shocked me so much. Were you here that night?'

'I was, keeping watch, stunning death eaters when the need arose. Minerva, why don't you tell our guests to join us?'

Minerva patted Harry on the shoulder then went through the back of the office to the door to Albus' private quarters was. She knocked then opened the door to allow some people to follow her back into the office.

'Oh fuck,' Harry stared then his eyes rolled back as he passed out.

'Harry,' Lily ran to her son and started to tap his face, 'Albus.'

'He just fainted Lily, he'll be fine. Harry might be a very strong young man but the shock of seeing his dead parents, his dead godfather and the parents of his godson would make anyone pass out. It's a wonder he did not faint when he saw me.'

'How will he take the fact that we've been alive all this time before you worked out what happened and saved us but we couldn't tell him?'

'He seemed fine when Albus explained what he did, he just might need a bit more time with you James, especially because of what he is going through right now, his feelings for Severus.'

'I'm not sure I like the fact that my godson loves that bastard,' Sirius growled.

'Sirius, think, Harry loves him,' Albus said.

'You are going to need to put all that animosity behind you for Harry's sake,' Minerva said.

'He's coming around,' Lily said as she held her son's hand, 'Harry, can you hear me?'

'Hmmm,' Harry groaned softly then blinked, 'Oh god, I'm dreaming again.'

'You are not dreaming Harry, I'm here, so is your father, Sirius, Remus and Nymphadora.'

Harry sat up suddenly as he gazed at all the people in the room, then he launched himself at Sirius, hugging him tight.

'Oh god, Sirius, I'm so sorry.'

'Harry mate, you have nothing to be sorry about. Albus warned me to stay away, that was the memory you have. All this is going to confuse the shit out of me let alone Harry.'

Harry slowly let go, 'You're really here?'

'I'm here mate, but you did good, you kicked Voldemort's arse right to hell where he belonged. I'm proud of you pup.'

Harry groaned, 'I told you not to call me that Black or I'll hex your balls off.'

'There's the Harry I know.'

'Language, the both of you,' Minerva shook her head.

'Sorry professor, but can you blame me?'

'No, but still watch your language.'

'Yes ma'am,' Harry gave her his cheeky smile making Sirius, James, Lily and Albus laugh.

'Now, how about you meet your parents,' Sirius said.

'Okay,' Harry turned, 'Sorry,' he shrugged.

'You don't need to be, you missed Sirius, but you don't remember us,' Lily smiled.

'We realise that you need time to get to know us Harry, we don't expect you to just accept us into your life,' James said, 'We'll take our time, get to know each other. But I have to say this, you deliberately won those games for Slytherin, over me, over your father and Gryffindor. How could a Potter do that?'

Harry chuckled, 'To impress Sev. Oh blimey, you two and Severus, I'm going to end up knackered.'

'Why would you say that?' Sirius asked.

'Whenever you two try anything on Sev I'm going to be forever casting shielding charms to protect him.'

'I think Harry has let you know how it's going to be.' Albus said with a twinkle in his eye.

'I am even if he never speaks to me,' Harry groaned softly before he turned to the other people in the office, 'Remus,' Harry hugged him, 'You should have never turned up.'

'How could I not support the son of my friend and godfather to my son,' Remus let Harry go back kissed his forehead.

Harry hugged Tonks gently as she was holding Teddy, 'You definitely should not have turned up, you just had Teddy. But he looks like you Tonks.'

'And he has my talent Harry, so expect to see him changing to look like his godfather.'

'How was your mum?'

'Shocked, but she's fine.'

Harry smiled at the small boy, 'Hello Teddy,' Harry laughed as Teddy grabbed his glasses, 'When I visit you I'll wear my contact lenses I think.'

'What are contact lenses?' James asked.

'Small plastic eye shaped discs that work like glasses but you wear them on your eye so you can't even tell someone has them in. You can even use them to change your eye colour,' Lily explained.

'I have dark ones so people wouldn't recognise me when I use a glamour.'

'Harry finds it hard to go anywhere without everyone always thanking him,' Minerva said, 'or woman kissing him.'

'And the rest,' Harry faced Dumbledore, 'Is there any more alive?'

'Just one that you believed died, Fred Weasley. I have not them how all this came about, I believe that should be your story to tell.'

'If I explain I have to tell them about Severus, Ron will kill me, Hermione will think Voldemort scrambled my brains, Ginny will hex me, Charlie will probably shag me to make me see sense. But the worst will be Mrs. Weasley when she starts yelling at me,' Harry shuddered.

'How are Ron and Hermione?' Sirius asked.

'Together, finally, but their good. I can't wait to see their faces when they see you Sirius, Mrs. Weasley will give you an earful as well. She heard me telling Ron some of the things you told me.'

'Thanks a lot Harry, great godson you are. Molly's voice is enough to render me deaf.'

'Not to mention her wand, she killed Bellatrix.'

'Why don't you lot go get acquainted,' Albus suggested.

'That's a good idea, why don't you take us to your place Harry. You and your parents need to talk,' Sirius said.

'Um, yeah, okay,' Harry turned to Albus, 'If he…well, whatever he wants, let me know professor.'

'I will Harry, give him time.'

'I'll give him a thick head if he hurts my godson.'

'Sirius don't, this was all my doing. Come on, let's go and we can have lunch. Professor, thanks, for everything.'

'You are welcome Harry, go and get to know your parents.'

Harry, Sirius, Lily, James, Remus, Tonks and Teddy all left the office and headed down through the ruined castle, down the drive then through Hogsmeade until they came to Harry's home.
