The trio, Snape, and Black all crawled out of the tunnel out into the cool night. Off in the distance they heard a wolf's howl. Black looked back at the shack in sadness.

"Mr. Black?" Hermione said softly.

Black quickly turned around and stared at Hermione, "We should go."

Black nodded and started walking, but froze. Ice started appearing on the ground and the temperature dropped to freezing.

"Oh no" Black whispered. He turned and started running in the other direction, the dementors not far behind.

"No Sirius!" Harry chased after him.

"Harry don't!" Hermione called after him.

Harry followed the trail of dementors to a secluded area. There were hundreds of them, all taking turns at Black.

"No, no…he's innocent!" Harry pleaded, but that only got their attention on him.

He could feel the cold seep into his body again, he could hear his parent's dying. Harry pointed his wand at the group of dementors, "Expecto Patronum!" Nothing happened. "Expecto Patronum!" He tried harder, still nothing. "EXPECTO PATRONUM!" At last a large blast shot out the end of his wand, flowing over the entire area. The dementors quickly fled the area, flying away as soon as the shield touched them. He looked back at his Patronus and gasped, standing in front of him was a regal silver deer. It approached Harry silently and bowed its antlered head. And Harry realized, "Prongs." He whispered.

The stag disappeared. For a moment, Harry just stared at the spot it had left. He shook his head and ran over to Black.

"Come on now, wake up." Harry shook the man gently.

Slowly, Black woke up and looked confused. "We have to get back to the others. The dementors are gone."

"Thank you Harry." The man whispered.

Harry nodded and helped Black stand up before helping him get back to the others.

When they got to the castle Hermione helped put the invisibility cloak over Black as they made their way to Dumbledore's office. When they arrived, Dumbledore, McGonagall, and the Minister were already there with Pettigrew tied up in a chair. "Ah Harry" Dumbledore greeted pleasantly. "You've had quite a night I'm sure."

"Yes Professor" He helped Black sit down in the chair across from Peter. Black didn't take his eyes off of Peter, glaring at him.

McGonagall had just revived Professor Snape and he was released from the Mobilicorpus spell.

"Now, children, why don't you go to the hospital wing to get checked out." Dumbledore instructed.

"What? No!" Harry protested.

"Mr. Potter, do not worry. The truth will be revealed here." Dumbledore assured, "Now, I believe Mr. Weasley is in great need of medical treatment. Off you go." He pushed the three out.

"I'm sure Sirius will be fine Harry." Hermione said as they helped Ron to the Hospital Wing.

"I hope so." Harry replied.

A few hours later, Ron was completely healed. Harry was on the phone with his dads.

"Loki told me everything Harry, you had some night." Tony said.

Harry laughed, "I guess I did. Is he okay?"

"Yeah, came back home and took a long bath. Apparently he was so disgusted with Pettigrew he thought he needed a bath." Tony laughed.

Harry smiled, "Sounds like him." He frowned, "Is he mad at me?"

"We both are actually. When we said stay safe, we didn't mean go hang out with a murderer, I don't care if he was innocent." Tony said.

Harry sighed, "Sorry Dad, but I did prove a man's innocence."

"Hmm, still you are going to be punished for the whole summer." Tony said.

"Wha- punished?"

"Yup, training with Natasha and Clint should be enough."

"What!? No!" Harry knew how well those two could fight, he didn't want to go anywhere near those two.

"It seems you are going to be in danger constantly, I think it's time you learn to defend yourself without your wand."

Harry groaned, "Fine."

Tony chuckled, "I'll see you in a few weeks Wonder Ball."

"Hey Dad, can I bring my friends over for the summer. Sirius and Remus too?"

"Sure, bring whoever you want. I would love to meet your friends." Tony said.

"Thanks Dad."

"You're welcome, love you."

"Love you." He hung up.

"Was that your dad?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah." He sank down into the chair next to Ron's bed. "Apparently I'm being punished for scaring them." He sighed.

"Punished?" Ron asked, "But you proved Black was innocent."

"I know, but I still scared them. They are making me take defense classes from my Aunt Natasha and Uncle Clint." Harry groaned, "It's going to be torture."

Hermione giggled, "I'm sure it will be fine Harry."

"Oh, my dad said I can invite you over for the summer. I want to invite Remus and Sirius too."

"I would love to come! I'll owl my parents later." Hermione smiled.

"Or you could do it now." Harry held up his phone.

Hermione smiled and took the phone.

"I'll have to ask my parents mate." Ron said.

Harry nodded, "And tell them if they want to come, they are invited too."

Ron nodded.

It was another hour before Sirius, McGonagall, Snape, and Dumbledore walked through the doors of the Hospital Wing.

Hermione and Harry stood up, "Well?"

Sirius smiled, "I'm free."

The trio cheered.

"Thank you, because of you three, I am a free man." Sirius smiled at the children.

"That's fantastic." Hermione smiled.

"Harry" Sirius turned to Harry, "I was wondering. I was supposed to take you in if something ever happened to your parents. What would you say to living with me?"

Harry's heart broke at the hopeful expression on Sirius' face. "I'm sorry Sirius. I- I already have a home." He quickly continued when he saw the man's face drop, "But I would love to visit. You and Professor Lupin are the only connection to my parents, I would love to have you in my life."

Sirius' eyes brightened.

"Would you be willing to come to my house when school gets out?" Harry asked.

Sirius smiled softly, "I'd be happy too."

"Great, I want Remus to come too." Harry said.

"Harry." Dumbledore said, "You need to return to your relatives when school ends."

Harry looked confused, "Why? I was legally adopted."

"Harry, you are safest at your relatives." Dumbledore said.

Harry snorted, "I'm safest with my family. I'd like to see Voldemort or any death eater get passed them."

"I would actually want to see that." Hermione said.

"Harry, you don't actually believe muggles are capable of protecting you against death eaters, do you?" Dumbledore asked.

"Well, they aren't exactly ordinary muggles. So, yes, I think they would be able to protect me." Harry smirked.

"Harry-"

"No! I will never return to the Dusleys!"Harry glared at Dumbledore. "If you don't believe me, come meet them when school gets out and I'll prove it to you."

Dumbledore looked skeptical, "Minerva, what do you think?"

"You know what I think Albus. I told you when this all happened, I will not help you put Mr. Potter back with his relatives if he was in a loving home. It seems like he is to me, I need no other proof." She turned to Harry, "And I think I should say, since Sirius is no longer a danger, you are allowed to go to Hogsmeade next year Potter. Your parents signed your slip, you should be able to go."

Harry smiled at his Head of House.

Dumbledore sighed, "Professor Snape and I shall accompany you home then. We will discern for ourselves if you are truly safe." The three professors left.

Harry didn't like it, but he accepted it.

"I can't wait! My parents said I could go." Hermione cheered. "Do you live with the rest of the Avengers?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, you'll get to meet them." Harry said, "You've already met one."

"Really?" Ron asked.

Harry nodded proudly, "The man who took Pettigrew away, that was my Papa."

The three gasped, "What?" Sirius asked.

Harry laughed, "My Papa. Loki. I guess he came to help me. It's a good thing he did, you're free and Lupin didn't hurt anyone."

The group nodded.

Yay! Everyone is going to Harry's house!
