Part six:
Harry smirked to himself. His hood was covering his face as he stood next to Sev's desk waiting for the others to arrive. He loved to make a big impression on people hence the hood; he dearly wanted to see their reaction to the news. He turned to look at his new lover. Sev had been pleased to hear that Harry had decided to reveal himself to the order.
Sev must have felt Harry's eyes on him as he turned to face Harry. He smiled slightly.
"You do know there is going to be some majorly pissed off people in this room once you come clean." He stated. Harry smiled widely.
"When I have ever done things the easy way."
The door to the study burst open and in rushed a very flustered looking Neville.
"Headmaster" He started before the sight of a cloaked figure standing to the side stopped him.
"Ah Neville. I trust that you have had a chat with the new Minister for Magic?" Sev asked. Neville nodded mutely in agreement. Sev gave a smile. "So how did Arthur take the news?"
"He seemed to be coping very well." Neville replied never taking his eyes off of the mysterious stranger.
Harry watched the young man with great interest, he could only be Neville Longbottom but what a change had over come him. He was no longer the boy who was scared of his own shadow. Now he was a confident, sure of himself man. Harry put his hand in his pocket, a muggle trait he had picked up. Suddenly he found himself at wand point.
Neville had noticed Harry's hand going to his pocket, and automatically assumed he was going for a wand. He pulled out his own wand in preparation to defend his leader.
'You let your guard down' Harry told himself harshly. 'You thought Neville would never be a threat so you weren't prepared. If it was a Death Eater you would be dead bye now.' He added bitterly. Harry starred down the wand at the Auror.
"Well Done Neville. The first time you have been able to draw on me." Harry said, his tone light. The wand on him wavered slightly as the owner tried to come to terms with what he ears were telling him.
Sev sat back in his chair and smiled widely.
"Auror Longbottom I would like to introduce you to Lightning, also know as Harry Potter."
"Harry. Harry is it really you?" I. I thought you were dead." A small-lost voice stated.
"Yes Neville it s really me, and I would dearly love to show you but you still have me at wand point."
"Right Right." Neville muttered lowering his wand. Harry reached up slowly and pulled down his hood. Showing the young Auror that t really was him.
Suddenly Harry found himself with an armful of Auror. Neville had wrapped his small form around his friend.
"Harry I missed you. We were lost without you." He said quietly. Harry smoothed a stand of hair away from the younger boys face.
"You seem to have done ok for yourself. It is not everyone that can become one of the most famous Aurors." Neville gave a watery smile.
"It is you I have to thank for it. You showed me that I wasn't worthless that I could be someone useful. And in these times who is more useful than an Auror." Neville smiled broadly.
Sev Smiled at the two young men. He could almost kid himself that everything was ok. The previous war hadn't occurred and that everything was the way it should be. But all he had to do was look around his surroundings He sat in the headmaster's office, a place that he still felt rightly belonged to Albus. Not to mention the fact that if he looked to closely at Harry he could see that the past year had left him marked. His arms were a mass of scars and from Sev's experience he knew that it wasn't just his arms that were scared.
"Harry, Neville. If you want you two can take a seat and catch up while we wait for the rest of the order to arrive." Harry smiled at his Lover.
"Great idea. Why don't you join us?" Harry Said. Sev smiled at sat down beside them.

"Si" Remus whispered as they stood outsides Snape's Office. His love turned to face him. "Severus is doing his best." Si looked Remus in the eyes. A pained expression on his face.
"I know. I know. But it all so hard, it just easy to blame him for everything. I can't help it." Remus raised his hand to Si's face, and cupped his cheek in his hand. "Everyone keeps leaving me. And I am scared that I will lose you as well."
"I will never leave you. You are my life mate. I love you. And if something should happen to me." Remus smiled. "I swear I will come and haunt you." Si returned the smile albeit a little watery around the edges. Si turned and pushed the door to the office open and stopped dead in his tracks at the site that he saw before him.
Neville and Severus were sitting talking with a young man, a young man that Si instantly recognised. His Godson was sitting in the headmaster's office as if nothing had happened. Si stared opened mouthed for a moment before he fell to his knee's sobbing.
The trio turned towards the broken man, Harry's expression was one of immense sadness. 'My god what have I put him through.' Once again he regretted his decision on pretending to be dead. He hadn't thought that Sirius would have been affected as much as this; he just hadn't through about what he was putting his godfather through. Harry jumped to his feet and ran towards his godfather. But Remus had got there first, he held the sobbing man in his arms. Looking accusingly at Harry.
"Who are you? And how dare you try and impersonate my Godson." Remus hissed. Harry froze. He had no idea how to react.
"Remus." Severus interjected. "I know that this is hard to believe but it really is Harry." Sev smiled "He has come back to us." Harry nodded silently and knelt beside his two godfathers.
"I'm am Sorry that I put you through this. I truly am." He whispered. Remus stared hard at the young man. Sirius slowly raised his head, tears staining his cheeks.
"Harry?" He asked hoarsely.
"Yes." He whispered before pulling his godfather into his arms.
"Why did you leave me?" Si asked pathetically.
"I. I just couldn't deal. I needed time to adjust. I... I didn't think how it would affect people. I am so sorry." Harry felt tears running down his cheeks.
"Tis ok." Si Whispered. "Now I have you back." The pair sat sobbing for a moment or two. Remus looked at his lover and godson. He placed a hand on each of their heads, trying to comfort them. But there was really noting he could do. He had to let them come to terms on their own.
Harry smirked to himself. His hood was covering his face as he stood next to Sev's desk waiting for the others to arrive.
