Author Note: This fic starts of slowly, but after the first six/seven chapters once the ground work is laid it the momentum shoots through the roof! It is not an ordinary new character fic, it will keep twisting and turning until the end! Please Review!
Chapter 1:
Harry Potter was woken up by a loud banging on the door.
'Wake up!' shouted a voice.
'I'm up, I'm up, Aunt Petunia!' he quickly shouted back.
He knocking abruptly stopped. Only then Harry realized where he was. He quickly jumped out of bed and opened the locked door.
'Petunia?' said a very amused Sirius Black 'Is that the nick name you have for me?'
Harry stifled a laugh and hugged his Godfather.
'I guess not' said Sirius
They were in a hallway of 21 Dukot Woods, an extremely large house.
'I guess I still can't believe I'm not with the Dursleys!' said Harry apologetically to Sirius a warm smile on his face.
'Come on' said Sirius 'Get dressed and come down for breakfast, Moony should be back any minute now'. Moony was the nickname of Remus Lupin, Harry's Father's and Sirius's best friend.
'Great!' said Harry and rushed to get changed. Sirius smiled at the running Harry. Things are finally the way they should be.
Sirius Black had been falsely accused of betraying Harry's parents to Lord Voldemort, an extremely powerful and evil wizard. They had been killed protecting baby Harry, who was the only survivor in the attack. Voldemort's curse had rebounded on him and Harry Potter became famous as the vanquisher of the dark lord.
There was as sound of someone entering the house. Sirius, went downstairs to see who it was, one hand on his wand, just incase.
'Moony!' he said as he hugged his friend.
'Hello, Padfoot' said Remus tired after his long journey. 'How is baby-prongs?'
Sirius sniggered. They had got their nicknames from their Anigmus forms. Sirius was a dog, hence Padfoot and James Potter (Harry's father) was a stag and therefore Prongs. Remus got the name Moony, as he had been bitten by a werewolf when he was young.
'He'll be cross if you say that' said Sirius.
'Hey, you invented it' retorted Remus.
Remus sat down to read the daily prophet as Sirius went into the kitchen to finish making breakfast. Harry by this time, had got dressed and came running down.
'Moony!' he said happily and hugged Remus tightly. 'Where did you go, Sirius refused to tell me!'
'It's a long story Harry I'll tell you later' Remus smiled down at his friend's son.
'Any news of Voldemort?' said Harry, glad that he could say it aloud. The wizarding world feared the name of the evil sorcerer and referred to him as you-know-who. In Harry's fourth year he had come back to power by utilizing Harry's blood and had made a nuisance of himself through Harry's fifth year.
'None' said Remus becoming serious. 'He suddenly wants to keep a low profile'.
'I don't get it' said Harry 'Last year he went so public, that even Fudge (the Minister of Magic) had to concede his return'. He remembered what happened last year clearly. Voldemort had kidnapped his best friend Hermione, to lure him. It had taken him, Ron and Ginny a month to get her back, the four barely escaping with their lives.
Just then Sirius walked in 'Pancakes!'
(Author Notes: Did I mention I love pancakes?)
Harry sat down at his end of the table, looking at a happy Sirius stack p a tower of ten pancakes at the centre. Azkaban seems to have all but disappeared from his system.
Sirius Black had been imprisoned for 12 years at the wizarding prison. He had broken out in Harry's third year. The prison used to be guarded by fearsome creatures called the dementors, who used to suck all the happy feeling from people's mind and leave them to dwell and re-act over and over again their worst moments and memories in life. Harry shuddered, remembering his experience with the dementors.
'People are clamoring for Fudge's resignation' commented Remus as Sirius brought in the maple syrup and sat down to eat.
'About time' said Harry 'Look what happened because of his denial of Voldemort's return. Even the dementors turned and left Azkaban taking all the prisoners with them'
Sirius spoke up 'I'm changing the subject. Harry do you realize you have to catch the Hogwarts Express tomorrow?'
'Oh! My god! The summer vacations are over. I didn't even feel the time pass by' said Harry hitting himself on the head. 'My supplies! Diagon Alley!'
Sirius winked 'Don't worry, I already got all your supplies and books'.
'Sirius are you sure you should be doing so much for me, I may get spoiled you know' said Harry giving him a lopsided grin.
Remus chuckled. 'Sirius had nothing better to do of current. After the settlement with the ministry for persecution, harassment and Azkaban time. Sirius, if you remember is a millionaire. He does go around playing Auror, but that's more of a hobby than a job'
'You listen to your uncle Remus, and in my opinion you need some spoiling' Sirius said as he ruffled Harry's hair.
Harry sighed. Right after the settlement, Sirius had bought this huge mansion and had taken Remus and Harry by the collar in. Not that they minded or anything.
Harry finished is pancakes and was about to say some, when a snowy owl flew in and landed next to him.
'Hedwig' said Harry, taking the letter from her leg. He read as he fed Hedwig a pancake.
Dear Harry,
Received your letter! I wish I were there we could have had loads of fun! Hermione is here with me. Apparently, Dumbledore decided that she was not safe at a week ago and transferred her to the burrow. I would have told you earlier, but I'm kind of owless at the moment. Ginny borrowed Pig, she wouldn't say why. Well not much more to add, see you a Kings Cross. Hermione wants to write her part.
Ron.
Dear Harry,
As you read above currently I'm at the burrow. It's so much better I was getting really bored all alone at home. Harry, have you had any dreams, nightmares. Voldemort stuff, cause he's been awfully quiet and I'm getting unnerved, who knows what the freak has planned next. Ginny is great, keeps missing you though, I think she took the Pig to send you mail. Anyways, be careful and see you at Kings Cross…
Love,
Hermione.
Harry smiled as he read the last portion. Little did Ron know that he had received a very steamy letter for Ginny a few days ago. It had taken Ron all fifth year to adjust to his and Ginny's relationship.
Suddenly there was a sound of an explosion…
