The Summary: .......
The Rising
"And then, Snape conjured a spell to invisibly tie you up and float with him-you know- Hermione, of course was freaked, the nutball she is anyway- Oh and Harry looked as if he wanted to faint himself-" Jay said with a stupid grin plastered on his face.
"What were YOU doing?" I asked as we made ourselves down the dungeon floor.
Jay looked uncomfortable, "I- you know (I glanced at him), okay, okay-I freaked too, I mean-You were just like down as if you were dead or something and-"
"Well, if it weren't the stupid transfer students" a cold voice interrupted.
We wheeled about seeing a small gang of Slytherin sneering at us. Oh and of course, Richard Malbrige was the leader of these losers.
"If it weren't the pretty boy" I snarled, as Malbrige's hand reached for his wand threateningly.
"We heard what happened last night Black-" Malbrige delicately spun his wand with his fingers.
"Yeah, news sure seem to travel fast" Jay sneered, "You know what I-"
"Shut your trap Sikem, if you don't want to ruin your family"
Jay looked stomped, his face beet red.
Seeing Jay, I glared at Richard, "What do you mean by that Malbrige?"
Malbrige smirked, "I don't know- Why don't you ask Sikem over there?"
I glanced at Jay questioningly as Jay reached for his own wand.
"I don't care if your father is the manager vice-president-whatever- I'll kill you" Jay muttered furious, his hand clutching on the wand, waving it wildly.
"What-?" I began
Malbrige interrupted, "If this is too hard for your tiny brain to understand, Black, my father is Sikem's father's boss- ain't that right Sikem? (I did not even want to see Jay's face) My father can fire him anytime-however, he does not feel like it.....but of course if I can explain to my father about Sikem's.......(he paused) manners, my father will see to it that the famous Thomas Sikem will be fired and lose-"
"Your stupid father can't fire mine cause he's too popular!" Jay shot back
"Don't insult my father, Sikem" Malbrige narrowed his eyes, "Sooner or later, your father will be nothing but a jobless imbecile-"
"Don't make fun of his father" I warned taking out my wand.
Malbrige smirked, "What does your father do Black?"
I wordlessly glared at him.
Jay suddenly grinned, "He's Sirius Black"
Malbrige and I both gaped at him, "Jay-"
Looking both frightened and helpless at the same time, Malbrige and his lot backed away.
"Let's go" Malbrige mumbled walking (Almost running) away.
"Why'd you say that, that murderer was my father?" I asked furiously, watching the group of Slytherin stumbling away.
Jay shrugged, "That kept Malbrige's mouth shut though"
I just stared at him.
"What?"
"I do hope you are happy- calling my father a no-good-convicted murderer" I muttered.
"Well, Sirius Black has the same surname as you do-so, you know, thought I could-"
I scowled at him, stalking away. The famous-Azkaban-fleeing Sirius Black. Then a thought flashed in my head. No way-......... Yes, he did have my name- could he possibly? Out of a million people- could he.....be my father? Black was a pretty common name.....The idea was ridiculous and yet- yet- the- the only way to find out was to..........
"Hey! Don't take it seriously James- hey wait up! We have Potions-Snape will-" Jay panted trying to keep up with me.
"Where do you think you're going?" Jay glared stopping in front of me.
"To Dumbledore"
"Yeah, why?"
"None of your business" I snapped
"What's your problem James? I'm sorry I made fun of your dad-alright? I mean-"
I glared at Jay who looked away, "really, I'm sorry"
"Well, you know what? Just leave me alone, I need to find Dumbledore- go on ahead, tell Snape why I'm going to be late" I calmly said.
Jay looked hesitant, "You forgive me right?"
I nodded, "Of course"
Jay grinned, and ran downstairs.
***
I felt as if I were going to the Muggle dentist. A weird feeling in my stomach did not exactly comfort me as I told Dumbledore that I wanted to see my father. I just had to make sure he wasn't anyone.......convicted, like Sirius Black for example. Maybe it was curiosity or something but I felt like I was going to be sick. Anyway, he couldn't be Sirius Black-he- he.....a sudden flashback flashed in my mind.......
*My flashback*
"Your father is a wizard James, so was your mother....Your mother died after giving you, and your father-your father-" Dumbledore had said.
"Ran away" I bitterly finished.
Dumbledore took a seat, "He had to"
*End of my flashback*
Suddenly I realized that my flashback did not help me one bit.
"James?"
I looked up at Dumbledore looking very grim. He then turned to Professor Lupin, who was in the office too at that time.
"Remus, please get Harry and er-Snuffles" Dumbledore strangely said.
Snuffles? Harry? I was one confused boy.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts' teacher looked surprised, "Harry-?"
Dumbledore nodded, "It will be better if Harry explained"
"Er-professor-sorry for interrupting-er Harry Potter?" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me.
Dumbledore looked at me, "Yes, Harry Potter"
I glanced at Lupin who was watching me intently.
Lupin took his one last gaze at the professor and briefly nodded. He made his way out of the office.
Dumbledore sighed, he rubbed his temples which made him look extremely old and ancient. I hesitantly started, "So-er he's in Hogwarts I suppose"
Dumbledore nodded, "Yes- It was your father who asked me to send you here to Hogwarts in fact"
I was speechless and then I gulped my tied up throat, "Oh- I see"
Dumbledore sat by his desk, and offered a seat which I took gratefully.
"So-"
The door creaked open, as Professor Lupin and Harry entered, solemnly.
"Er-that was quick" I commented.
"Hey James" Harry greeted as he took a seat next to mine.
I just stared at him
"Okay-er- so I guess you know my father, huh?" I finally said when the silence was too unbearable.
Harry looked away, "Yeah, I know him"
Dumbledore interrupted with a cough, "We will leave, since there will be no use for us (looking at Lupin) Harry please explain the best you can"
He stood up, took a last look at us and left the room with Professor Lupin (Not before he glanced at the dog who accompanied Harry, and stooped low to scratch its ears.)
"So- uh....how do you know him?" I awkwardly asked realizing that everyone was gone, that we were alone in Dumbledore's office.
Harry looked uncomfortable, he took a deep breath, "I know it may sound totally crazy-but- okay to start off, your father is-.........well he's my godfather"
Unable to digest this I just nodded numbly.
"Is-is he like nice?" I asked dumbly
Harry stared at the ground, "Yeah"
Silence.
Harry broke it, "Yeah, real-er-nice. Actually instead of talking, do you want to see him now?"
I stared, "Er-okay"
I looked at Harry expectantly, "Erm is he here or what?"
"Yeah, he's here" Harry faintly nodded, glancing at the dog who looked ready to pounce.
"Okay....."
With a sigh, Harry spoke, "Sirius, I think he's ready"
Sirius? I wasn't really sure if I had heard Harry properly, all of a sudden the big black dog caught my eye. It...it was growing!!??
With a cry, I leapt from my chair, and before my eyes, the dog had transformed into a man.
