Chapter 14
Meeting Sirius and The Dream
Harry and Fleur were absolutely joyed when they found out that they wouldn't have to worry about the third task for at least four months. This allowed them to spend more time together and experiment with their sex lives. Little did either of them know that when the third task came to pass, their worst nightmares would become reality.
At the present moment, Fleur and Harry were in Fleur's room cuddling and just enjoying each other's company.
"Glad that we have until June to worry about the last task?" Harry asked as he ran his fingers through Fleur's long pale blonde hair.
"Oui" Fleur said, nuzzling her head into Harry's chest as he continued stroking his fingers through her hair.
Throughout the rest of the day, Fleur and Harry had a light lunch by the lake. As they did they relaxed and watched the giant squid propel itself lazily across the surface of the lake. However throughout their lunch, Fleur noticed that Harry was being unusually quiet as he tossed pieces of his crust into the lake for the giant squid.
"Arry is something wrong? You're being unusually quiet" Fleur said.
Harry took a moment to gather his thoughts before replying. "Fleur you know I love you with all my being. But I'd like to introduce you to someone very important to me."
"Who" Fleur asked as she reached out and gave Harry's shoulder a reassuring squeeze.
"I want to introduce you to my godfather, but I'm afraid if I do, and you see who he is, that you won't want to be with me" Harry said, his eyes still not locking with Fleur's.
Fleur instantly put any doubts that Harry had to rest as she leaned over and gave him such a passionate kiss that when she broke it, he was seeing stars.
"Arry I love you, and I'm not leaving you ever and I'd be honored to meet your godfather." Slowly Harry nodded before flicking his wand making the garbage from their lunch disappear before he stood up and began leading Fleur towards the gates of Hogsmeade. "You're godfather lives in Hogsmeade?" Fleur asked as she and Harry made their way down the cobbled street.
"Not exactly" Harry says.
They continued to walk in silence until they hit the end of the village. Harry took Fleur's hand into his own as he started to walk up the trail that lead to the mountains behind the village. As they walked higher and higher, Fleur was glad that she wore sneakers instead of her usual shoe wear. Fifteen minutes later, they finally reached the top of the mountain. As they rounded a corner, Fleur saw a creature that looked like it was half eagle, and half horse.
"Hey Buckbeak" Harry said as he gave a little bow, the creature following up with a bow of its own.
"This is a hippogriff and his name is Buckbeak to see if he likes you, you have to bow and if he bows back you can pet him" Harry explains looking back at Fleur. Slowly Fleur bent down into a little bow. As she did Buckbeak observed her before he bent his knees into another bow.
Fleur smiled before approaching Buckbeak and lightly began patting his beak. "He looks so pretty Arry" Fleur says as she moved her hand up to run her fingers through Buckbeak's feathers.
After a few more minutes of petting Buckbeak, Harry led Fleur into a small cave where huddled in a corner was an enormous black shaggy dog snoozing peacefully. Placing a finger to his lips, Harry slowly crept over to the dog and whispered into its ear "Wake up Padfoot; I brought you someone to meet."
Hearing his godson's voice, Sirius automatically woke up and pounced on top of Harry licking his cheek. As he did so, Harry laughed and tried to push Sirius off of him.
Slowly Sirius got off of Harry and Harry stood up before standing next to Fleur.
"Sirius I'd like you to meet Fleur Delacour my girlfriend and bonded " Harry said. Fleur watched in amazement as the black shaggy dog before her started to change shape. Within a few minutes the place where the dog was standing just minutes before now held the person that was known far and wide as Sirius Black the mass murderer who escaped Azkaban last year.
With Sirius Black standing before her, Fleur gasped and brought a hand to her mouth, her eyes wide and fearful as she asked "You're godfather is Sirius Black?"
"Yes and no he's not a murderer" Harry said pulling Fleur closer to him.
Fleur gave Harry a look as if he was crazy. "Not a murderer? Arry he was all over the daily prophet last year explaining why he was in Azkaban in the first place."
Harry sighed before he went over and sat down on the floor, resting his back against the smooth surface of the cave wall. "Sirius would you mind filling her in on the story? I really don't want to go through it again."
"For the last thirteen years, the ministry and the Wizarding world as a whole have been lead to believe that I betrayed Harry's parents James and Lily, this however is a lie. When James and Lily went on the run, Dumbledore himself had suggested a tricky little charm known as a Fidelius charm."
"So Arry's parents had a secret-keeper protecting their location and you were it?" Fleur asked as she sat down besides Harry.
"Yes and No" Sirius said.
"At first I was Lily and James's secret-keeper, however I realized that You-Know-Who was onto me so I persuaded them to change to Peter Pettigrew, who was one of James's and mine's friends from school. On the night that it happened, I went to check on Peter, when I found his hide-out abandoned with no signs of a struggle, I realized what he had did. A couple days later I finally caught up with the little traitor. It was in Muggle-London and he shouted to the streets on how I betrayed Lily and James to You-Know-Who and that I was a spy. I went for my wand to blow apart the traitorous bastard, but Peter got the best of me. He had his wand behind his back and blew up half the street before he changed into his animangus form which was a rat and he disappeared down a sewer, leaving me to take the blame for the betrayal of James and Lily and the murders of the twelve muggles that he killed with the explosion" Sirius finished.
"So you are innocent?" Fleur asked looking up at Sirius.
"Yes, I was imprisoned without a trial" Sirius said.
Slowly Fleur nodded her head before resting it on Harry's shoulder "I believe you Mr. Black"
The rest of the visit went by uneventful. Harry and Fleur updated Sirius on how the tournament was doing, and how they became bonded. An hour and a half later, Harry and Fleur said good-bye to Sirius and made a promise to visit him again before they headed back throughout Hogsmeade and to the Beaxbauton's carriage for dinner and bed.
Harry fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, his arms wrapped around Fleur's waist. As he fell into a deeper sleep, Harry began to dream.
-Harry's Dream- Harry felt himself flying. He wasn't flying a broom, he was flying with Buckbeak. Looking down, Harry saw that they were flying towards a little town named Little Hangleton. Glancing up, Harry watched as Buckbeak flew towards a vine covered mansion with boarded up windows and weeds littering the garden. Upon reaching the house, Buckbeak flew upwards till he reached an open window on the second floor. Harry swung his leg over so he was sitting sideways on Buckbeak before he jumped off and into the open window. Drawing his wand, Harry lit it with a lumos charm before he slowly and silently slipped out of the room and began walking down the hallway. Upon reaching the end of the hall, Harry put out his wand, as the door to the last room was opened ajar and Harry could see the light of a flickering fire in the fireplace. As Harry crept closer to the door, he heard the voice of Peter Pettigrew, the traitor to his parents. "There is only one task left my lord; your loyal servant at Hogwarts has confirmed that Harry Potter will be yours soon after he completes it."
"Good Wormtail Good" came a hissing voice that made the hair on the back of Harry's neck stand on end.
"Soon I shall be reborn and Potter will be mine" came the hissing voice again. It was at that moment that Harry heard something slithering on the floor, glancing down, he saw a huge snake slithering towards the open door. As the snake slithered inside, it slithered up to where the hissing voice came from and more hissing was heard.
"Nagini tells me that Harry Potter is standing right outside the door, please show him in Wormtail" the hissing voice said. Harry heard scurried footsteps and the door opened the rest of the way revealing Peter Pettigrew standing in the doorway, looking at Harry in a mixture of shock and fear.
"Stand aside Wormtail, we do not want to appear rude to young Mr. Potter" said the hissing voice.
Harry could do nothing but watch as a wand appeared over the side of the couch, and a jet of green light as the cold hissing voice yelled AVADA KEDAVRA into the night.
-End Dream-
Harry awoke with a start his scar throbbing painfully as his body was covered in cold sweat. Looking up, he saw Fleur watching him with wide eyes at the foot of the bed.
"Are you okay Arry? You were thrashing about mumbling something about You-Know-Who being reborn" Fleur said.
"I…I'm fine Fleur just a bad dream is all."
Slowly Fleur nodded before cuddling back up against Harry and falling back asleep.
'It's just a bad dream' Harry told himself before he fell back asleep.
