A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I'll be posting about once a day, sometimes every other day, but they'll never be a time in between chapters longer than that, and if there is I'll warn you first. Please keep telling me what you think. And BTW to no, Sirius hasn't be cleared.
Chapter 5- It Begins...
Draco Malfoy stood before the Dark Lord, bowing his head, shaking in something he never knew until now, fear. He now understood why so many people feared and served him, for anything less was certain death, he was indeed evil incarnate. Now Draco stood before him, ready to join the ranks of the Death Eaters, and hopefully quickly climb the ranks to his father's level.
"Draco."
Even the voice sounded like that of a snake, a cunning, evil snake.
"Yes, master?"
"You have finished your proving yourself, and your now fifthteen, come here and complete your initiation.
Draco knew what was to come. He stepped up onto the dias, walked over to Voldemort's right side, rolled up his left sleeve, and went down on one knee. Voldemort firmly pressed one finger on his arm, Draco felt a burning, and as quick as it began it was done. He looked over at his arm, and saw on the side of his bicep the Dark Mark burning clearly, dark black over his pale white skin. He then stood up, bowed, and stepped back down of the dias, and once again stood head down in front of the Dark Lord.
"Now, Draco, for your first task."
"I will serve you master."
"Good. At Hogwarts there is a chamber, much like the Chamber of Secrets, except this one was built by that fool Godric Gryffindor, and is called the Chamber of Power. It's called that for reasons unknown to us at this time. I do know some extemely powerful magical artifact is in there though, and we need it. I want you to find the Chamber. This will help you."
Voldemort pulled out a small wooden box, levitated it to Draco, who opened it, looked inside it, some a bunch of vials, smiled, and closed the box, grabbed it out of the air, and put it in his robes.
"You know what to do, and DO NOT let anyone become suspicious."
Draco nodded, bowed, then spun on his left heel, and walked out of the Dark Master's presence.
"Soon Harry Potter, soon your time will come to an end."
***-------------------------------------------------------------***
Harry bolted upright, he was covered in a light sweat, the pain in his scar that woke him up still fresh. He got up, put his glasses on, got dressed, then went outside into the house room as they were calling it, wondering what funny thing Sirius and his father would do today. Sitting in the center of the room was indeed Sirius, James, and Remus, just talking and eating, and looking out the window Harry saw it was at least ten o'clock. Sirius first looked up and saw him.
"Well good morning sleepyhead."
"Mornin' Sirius, Dad, Moony."
"Oh yea, before I forget, Harry, we never gave you your birthday gift."
Sirius got up and walked over to Harry, and handed him an envelope. Harry ripped it open, and pulled out the contents, a simple piece of parchment. On it it read, "Moony, Prongs, and Padfoot are proud to present to you one ticket for free lessons on how to become and Animagi from the remaining Marauder's." Harry, who just now realized what Sirius meant when he said what he did last night before he went to bed, smiled ecstatically.
"Do you like it?"
"Yea! I love it, when can I start?"
"We can start today, eat, then meet us out on the Quidditch pitch, we're going out now to play a bit, bring your broom too!"
***----------------------------------------------------------------------***
Harry gulped down his food, went upstairs and grabbed his Firebolt, got changed, and rushed out onto the Quidditch pitch. Looking up, he saw his Dad and Remus, both wearing replica Puddlemere United robes, and going one on one, both being chasers, and trying to get by the other. Also flying around was Sirius, wearing his Falmouth Falcons robes, a team known for being rough, hitting a Bludger at both of them. They saw him, and flew to him, touched down, and ran towards Harry. James was the first to speak.
"Harry, you ready to get going?"
"To do what, become an animagi, or to show you three how to play Quidditch?" Harry replied jokingly.
"First off, you need to take this."
James reached into his robes, pulled out a little leather bag, opened it, and pulled out one of a few little vials. He opened it, and handed it to Harry.
"All you need to do is drink that, it will awaken your form inside you. It might seem easy, but the reason so many people can't become animagi is there isn't one inside them, they just don't have that magic, it's a rather rare magic, not for weak wizards. Once you drink it, you won't feel anything, but your form will show little outbursts from inside, and it will fully appear in probaly about two weeks, thats how long it took us."
"Do you think I have that magic?"
"I have no doubt, your a Potter after all, I wouldn't have it any other way!"
Harry took the little vial, looked at its contents curiously for a second, then in one gulp, Harry swallowed it. He made a funny face for a second, then spoke.
"Alright then, whose ready to get some flying lessons?"
"James you wouldn't beleive what Harry can do on a broom, he's even better than you, he made the team as a first year."
"Oh, I can top him."
"Bring it Dad, bring it.
Harry, Sirius, James, and Remus played all morning, went in and ate lunch, then came back out after and continued playing. It was Harry and Sirius versus James and Remus. Harry, not really paying attention, thinking more about how great it was to have his father back, and how odd it was. Harry had always known Sirius as the only father figure in his life, and now he had to get used to James taking that place. Harry knew he couldn't forget about Siri....a bludger went wizzing by his head, and he moved just in time. Sirius looked over at him.
"Almost gotcha!"
Harry, without even knowing what he was doing, opened his mouth, and out came a roar, a loud, powerful, primal roar. Moony, Padfoot, and Prongs immeadiatly looked over at him, and James spoke.
"Whoa! Harry, I think it's time to go in, let's all land now."
Harry flew down, and landed a few feet away from the Marauder's, who were already down and talking.
"Did you hear that, it's happening already!"
"This is great, it'll be completed in no time, and so early! He's more powerful than even I thought."
"Well, let's go in and eat."
The Marauder's walked over to Harry, and all four of them walked into the castle, laughing and wondering what they were going to do tomorrow.
A/N: This chapter needed to be in there, I know its not much, but trust me, more is on the way soon, please keep r/r.
