Chapter 39
Sirius came at six the next morning to pick Harry up, and was amused to see the boy sitting anxiously on the edge of the couch. When the ex-convict entered, Harry jumped to his feet and rushed to his side.
"Good morning to you too Harry" he said with a smirk
"Morning Sirius, are you ready, lets go" he said without waiting for an answer to his question and practically dragging the older man to the door.
"Calm down Harry, don't you want to say good bye to your family first?" he asked as he pulled the boy to a halt by a hand on his shoulder
"I already told Dudley bye last night and I would be perfectly happy to never see my aunt and uncle again" he answered honestly, wrenching his shoulder from Sirius' grasp and continuing to the door.
"Do you have everything, Harry?" asked Sirius, relenting and following the boy "Where is your staff and sword?"
"Yes, my sword is in my trunk which is in my pocket and my staff is right here" he said, holding out his hand, and with a faint pop, the staff appeared in it and a wide grin crossed Harry's face before he spoke "You know, I really kind of like this thing, it could come in handy to beat obnoxious godfathers over the head when they are moving too slowly early in the morning" he said with a smirk.
"Harry!" exclaimed Sirius "You had better never use that staff to hit anything, it is a very powerful magical object" he said in a lecturing tone
"I know that Professor Black, I was only joking, now can we get going already?" Harry said in exasperation
"All right, let's go" said Sirius, relenting from his previous sternness and smiling at his godson as he followed him out the door.
Once they reached the edges of the protective wards around number four, the pair disappeared with a small pop and reappeared an instant later on the deserted streets of Hogsmeade.
"So, what am I supposed to be doing today Sirius? Am I going to classes or what?" asked Harry as they walked through the small village
"No, you won't be going to classes Harry, but I'll let Albus tell you where we are going next" he said mysteriously
"Where we are going next? You mean we aren't staying at the castle?" said Harry, depression clouding his features and voice.
"I'm sorry Harry, but we're only going to be at the castle for a couple of hours at the most before we leave again" said Sirius, trying to soften his words to lessen the blow as much as possible.
Harry tried to take in this new information without becoming too depressed, but he wasn't being to successful with one thought running through his head "Will I get to see Ginny?" he finally asked hesitantly
Sirius smiled reassuringly before answering "Yes Harry, you will have time to see Ginny"
Harry sighed at that thought before a small smile graced his face as well. They continued walking in silence until they reached the edge of the forbidden forest next to the castle.
"Go ahead up to the tower and visit with Ginny until breakfast, then meet us in Dumbledore's office, we'll be waiting for you there" he said as they entered the still sleeping castle.
"Ok, I'll be there later!" said Harry over his shoulder as he rushed up the great marble staircase, staff in hand and cloak billowing out behind him.
"Wait!" called Sirius suddenly
Harry stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Sirius in confusion. "What is it?" he asked
"It might be a good idea not to be seen by anyone but your friends and Ginny, maybe you had better go to he tower in one of your animagus forms" he suggested
"If you say so" muttered Harry, and an instant later, a large, black shaggy dog stood in his place.
"Ha, ha, very funny" said Sirius sarcastically as the dog wagged its tail before it turned and continued at a full run up the stairs.
Sirius just shook his head before he followed the dog up the stairs and headed towards the stone gargoyle.
Harry was panting heavily by the time he reached the painting of the fat lady and looking in every direction to make sure he wasn't being watched, he transformed back into himself just long enough to tap the painting with his staff, which immediately began to swing open. Not even stopping to think about what had just happened, he turned back into his dog form before nosing the entrance open further and padding silently into the empty common room, the door shutting soundlessly behind him.
As he entered the room, he was assailed by many familiar scents, but the one he focused on was that of Ginny. He sniffed for a moment to find the most recent scent, expecting it to lead him up the stairs and into the sixth year girls dormitory, but he was surprised to notice that it led him to the large couch in front of the fire.
Curious as to why Ginny was not in her bed, he cautiously crept around the corner of the couch, intent on surprising the girl if she were awake, or giving her a gentle kiss to wake her if she were asleep, but what he saw vanquished both of these thoughts from his mind to be replaced with nearly uncontrollable anger and hurt.
Ginny was lying on the couch sound asleep with a blanket pulled up to her chin, her hair fanned out behind her and dangling off the couch to pool on the floor. Her face was the picture of contentment and peace and she looked so innocent and beautiful lying there, but it was not her that Harry focused on, but the person she was with. Colin Creevy was lying on the couch with her, and it was his chest that she was using as a pillow. Her hand was resting on his shoulder and his arms were wrapped around her slim frame, holding her close, looking the picture of contentment and peace as well. Seeing his girlfriend being held so tightly by another caused Harry's heart to break and the anger to cloud his vision, and he did the only thing he could think of doing in his current state, he let loose a deep and loud growl, waking the pair immediately.
Ginny awoke to the sound of loud growling coming from somewhere near her head. Startled, she jumped up to look at the animal that had awoken her, not realizing that someone was with her.
"Sirius?" she asked "What are you doing here? And why are you in your animagus form?" she asked in bewilderment
The only answer she received was another low growl though as the dog looked from her to someone beside her. Ginny followed his gaze and was met by the startled face of Colin.
"Oh God! Colin! We must have fallen asleep!" she exclaimed
The dog only growled at this, slightly louder than the time before though.
"Ginny, who's dog is that?" asked Colin as he eyed the obviously angry dog
"It's professor Black, but I don't know why he's in his animagus form though, or why he is so angry" she muttered to herself as she looked back to the dog on the ground in front of her.
Watching the animal, Ginny felt a chill go up her spine. She had never seen such anger in any animals eyes before, and as she continued to look into the bright green eyes, she began to tremble.
'Wait!' she thought suddenly 'That dog has GREEN eyes' and she suddenly knew why he was so angry. The dog wasn't Sirius, it was Harry, and he had just found her lying on a couch curled up with Colin. She felt the color drain from her cheeks upon this realization.
"Harry" she whispered faintly, but before she could say anything more, he had turned and run toward the entrance to the common room.
"Harry wait!" she exclaimed, following him, but he made no move to stop "Harry please, it's not what it looks like, I love you!" she said as she felt tears begin to run down her cheeks
The dog suddenly stopped its escape and an instant later, it had transformed into her boyfriend and he turned around slowly to face her.
Ginny was shocked by what she saw. Harry was standing before her wearing a solid black robe and his scarlet cloak. Hooked to his belt were a sword and dagger, both of which she recognized as those he had received on Christmas. In his right hand, though, was something she had never seen before. It was a tall, dark staff with a golden phoenix perched on the top holding a bright red stone in its talons. She pulled her attention from the staff though and dared to look at his face. His hair was hanging loose around his face, but his eyes were still visible and what she saw in them tore at her heart. They were emerald pools of pain and hurt, but as she continued to look at them, they became as hard as emeralds and all of his emotions became impossible to read as he spoke in a level and unwavering voice.
"Your words mean nothing to me Ginny, not anymore. Not after what you've done to me, I can't trust you or your words. I have to go" and with that he spun on his heel and left the common room, leaving a crying Ginny and shocked Colin in his wake.
He couldn't believe what was happening, how could she do this to him? He thought frantically as he stormed down the still empty corridor. When he reached the statue, he tapped the gargoyle on the head with his staff. Taking several deep, steadying breaths, he ascended the stairs to the headmasters' office, trying to bury his anger until this meeting was over and he could speak to Sirius once they left to where ever they were heading next. Reaching the landing, he knocked lightly on the door and was told to come in by the voice of the headmaster from the other side of the door.
"Good morning sir" said Harry as he entered the office in an emotionless tone
"Good morning Harry" said the old man with a smile on his face "Are you finished speaking with Ginny already?" he asked
"Yes sir, I'm ready to go" said Harry, not wishing to elaborate as he took a seat in one of the armchairs next to Sirius who looked at him in concern but kept his thoughts to himself
"Very well" began Dumbledore "I have been putting some thought into what you told me of the conversation Voldemort had about his daughter and I believe I have come to a conclusion" at these words, Harry's attention was peaked and he looked at the old man hopefully
"What have you found out?" he asked
"Well, you say that she was a fifth year when Lucius Malfoy was in his final year?" he asked as he looked at the boy
"Yes sir, that is what Voldemort said"
"Well, then she would have been in the same year as you Sirius" he said while turning his attention to the man next to Harry "Do you have any idea who she might have been?" he asked
"No Albus, I haven't a clue" admitted the man in irritation
"Neither do I, but I think there is a way we can find out" he said with a twinkle in his eye
Harry and Sirius just looked to each other in confusion before Harry spoke up "Why does it matter who she was sir, he said himself that he killed her"
"Ah, but Harry, are you forgetting that you hold more magical power than we can even begin to imagine" he said with a small smile
"What are you getting at Albus?" asked Sirius in exasperation, clearly irritated by the mans lack of an honest explanation of what he was thinking
"Harry, Sirius, I think we may be able to go and get this girl before Voldemort kills her and convince her to help with the spell and potion to destroy him for good" he said finally
Harry and Sirius could only look at him in disbelief for several minutes before Sirius spoke up.
"Albus, you can't be serious! Going that far into the past is impossible and even if we could, I don't think we could convince her to help us! She's Voldemort's daughter, who is probably some evil Slytherin who would rather see Harry dead and Voldemort ruling the world!" he exclaimed as he jumped to his feet
Dumbledore just smiled wider at his words "Sirius, do you remember who it was that stopped the attack on Hogesmede and Hogwarts during the end of your sixth year?" he asked
"Yes, I could never forget that day, Lily and several of the other girls on our class were almost taken away by death eaters, but that transfer student stopped them" he said quickly
"Do you remember anything about this student?" asked the headmaster
"Well, he came towards the end of the year with his" at this, Sirius' eyes grew wide and he looked to the man sitting before him and then back to Harry "Are you saying that the student was Harry and that I was with him?" he asked
"Exactly Sirius, but perhaps you could continue your description of the boy for Harry's sake"
"Well, he came to the school with his godfather, but they only stayed for a couple of weeks, until the end of term I think"
"Actually, they stayed throughout the summer at the castle, but go ahead"
"Well, the student was always walking around with a red cloak on and holding a staff in his hand. We never talked to either him or his godfather, though, they pretty much kept to themselves" he finished
"Wait a minute, are you saying I was at Hogwarts when you were a student?" asked Harry in shock
"Yes, and you will be again in just a few minutes. This is what we are going to do" he began, successfully getting the attention of both black haired men in his office "I have found a time turner that will take you back to Hogwarts. While the rest of the students are there, you two will just observe them and try to figure out who Voldemort's daughter is and bring her back here" he finished
"How are we supposed to find out who she is? From what Voldemort said she didn't even know he was her father when he killed her" said Harry
"I can not tell you that, you must figure it out of your own, but you possess the ability to find her Harry, and you know better than I how important it is that you do so" he said seriously
Harry nodded his head and looked to his godfather "Are you ready to go Sirius?" he asked
"Yes, if you are" answered the man as he got to his feet
"Hold still Sirius" said Harry and to the man's shock, he directed his staff toward him and he felt a warmth spread through his entire body for a few seconds before it stopped.
"What did you do Harry?" he asked wearily
"Just changed you a bit, I don't want to explain why my godfather looks remarkably like a Gryffindor sixth year" he said
Sirius hesitantly looked into the mirror beside the door to take in his new appearance, and to his great relief, it wasn't as drastic as he had feared. His eyes were several shades darker that his original pale blue, but still blue, and his once black hair was now a very dark brown. He was amazed that just these two small changes could cause him to look so differently though, and impressed once again with Harry's powers.
"What about you?" he asked as he fingered his wand hopefully and looked at Harry who just smiled back
"I don't think I need to change, even you said that I look nothing like I used to since I grew out my hair" he answered
"But you still resemble your father with those black glasses, his were identical. Why don't you let me just change those for you?" he said as he aimed his wand at Harry's face, but before he could utter a word, Harry held out his hand and Sirius found himself empty handed.
"I think I can take care of this my self thank you" he said smugly as he now turned the staff on himself, and a second later he was removing his glasses and tucking them into his pocket.
"What did you do Harry?" asked Sirius in confusion
"Just fixed my vision so I don't need my glasses anymore" he answered as though that happened everyday.
Sirius and Albus were both shocked speechless by this display and just starred at him in shock.
"Well, now that was interesting" muttered Sirius finally, but a moment later, a hissing sound was heard from under his chair, causing he man to jump to the other side of the room. Harry though, dropped to his knees and looked under the chair.
"Sherlock!" exclaimed Harry "I thought you said you couldn't find him Sirius" he said as he stretched his hand out to the snake who gladly slithered under the arm of his cloak and around his forearm
"We couldn't, Remus and I searched everywhere for him, but it was like he just disappeared" said the man as he cautiously returned to his chair
"It would appear as though your pet can only be found when he wants too, Harry" said the headmaster with a small smile
Harry returned the grin, happy to have his friend back again. He had been afraid the small serpent had left for good after what had happened in the defense classroom a month ago "Is it ok if he comes with us?" he asked hopefully
"I don't think it would be a problem, but you two had better get going" said the headmaster as he got to his feet, the two black haired men following his example and standing as well.
"Here is the time turner, it is set to bring you back here on September the first right before the feast. Be careful and good luck" he concluded as he stood and looped the long chain around their necks and in a flash of light, they were gone.

A/N: Ok, I know this is very unbelievable, but I have been planning on doing this since the beginning, so here it is, but don't worry, it will only be a couple of chapters before they go back, and it isn't going to be like all of those other 'Harry goes back in time, meets his parents, and everything is perfect' fics, this is very different. Please don't hate me for the fight either, but hey, they're teenagers, they fight, not everything can be all perfect. Well, I'm going to answer some of your questions now, so here goes:
Coolone007: it means that you have to wait and see, but part of the answer was in this chapter. As far as Voldemort going dormant, the next chapter explains it.
Ceslestial: it will be a happy ending eventually, and I hope you have a lot of paper if you are really printing this out, because it is long
AgiVega: I know the story was a bit far fetched, but it gives some of the reason as to why Tom Riddle might have become even more evil (I know it will never happen in the books, but it is fun to play around with). I'm glad you liked that one paragraph, it just seemed like something that could actually happen
Kensai: I know parts of it are predictable, but I can't think of any way to make it less so, but if you have any suggestions, let me know!
Kate potter: was it the reunion you were expecting?
John: Thanks!
Bekken: not quite happy and jolly yet, but maybe later?
Amy: I'm glad you like it, so, was this what you thought would happen?
Ciara Moondagger: Very good idea, but I won't tell just yet, wait a few more chapters
Celtic Ember: Sorry if you think this is melodramatic and soppy, but other people seem to like it just fine, so oh well! I know I have quite a few grammatical and spelling errors, but hey, I'm not an English major here, I'm an animal science major, but at least I don't have errors that are so bad you can't even read it.
Skittle: maybe, maybe not, you'll find out later
Fan :@) Thanks for all of them! Sorry, I sometimes forget to let you know when I'll post next, but I'll try to remember now!
Cometgurl05: Thanks, glad you like it
AprilSkrutin: Thank you so much!
Bonnie: Thank you
Green Eyed Knight: Thank you
Jessika Organa Solo: Glad you like it!
Pink Witch: Thanks, glad you like it!
Tired: sorry, I post as much as I can, but I'm in the middle of finals right now, thanks for reading though
Dweem-angel: I'm so glad you like it, and now you know what happened to Sherlock, and don't worry, Harry may be nice to everyone now, but that just changed huh?
Jenna James: yeah, grammar has never been one of my strong suites, but thanks for pointing that out, I'll keep it in mind from now on. I'm glad you liked it, and your theory is good, but you'll find out the truth later!
Gwerty: yeah, it was a cliffy, but was the conversation worth waiting for or was it crap?
Gabby: thanks!
Ok, I think that is all of you, but if I forgot someone, please forgive me. I hope this is a good chapter, please let me know in a review if you thought it was terrible and not believable enough and I'll take it off and think of something else, but please don't flame me.

"Hold still Sirius" said Harry and to the man's shock, he directed his staff toward him and he felt a warmth spread through his entire body for a few seconds before it stopped.
"What did you do Harry?" he asked wearily
"Just changed you a bit, I don't want to explain why my godfather looks remarkably like a Gryffindor sixth year" he said

His eyes were several shades darker that his original pale blue, but still blue, and his once black hair was now a very dark brown. He was amazed that just these two small changes could cause him to look so differently though, and impressed once again with Harry's powers.
"What about you?" he asked as he fingered his wand hopefully and looked at Harry who just smiled back
"I don't think I need to change, even you said that I look nothing like I used to since I grew out my hair" he answered
"But you still resemble your father with those black glasses, his were identical. Why don't you let me just change those for you?" he said as he aimed his wand at Harry's face, but before he could utter a word, Harry held out his hand and Sirius found himself empty handed.
"I think I can take care of this my self thank you" he said smugly as he now turned the staff on himself, and a second later he was removing his glasses and tucking them into his pocket.
"What did you do Harry?" asked Sirius in confusion
"Just fixed my vision so I don't need my glasses anymore" he answered as though that happened everyday.
Sirius and Albus were both shocked speechless by this display and just starred at him in shock.
"Well, now that was interesting" muttered Sirius finally, but a moment later, a hissing sound was heard from under his chair, causing he man to jump to the other side of the room. Harry though, dropped to his knees and looked under the chair.
"Sherlock!" exclaimed Harry "I thought you said you couldn't find him Sirius" he said as he stretched his hand out to the snake who gladly slithered under the arm of his cloak and around his forearm
"We couldn't, Remus and I searched everywhere for him, but it was like he just disappeared" said the man as he cautiously returned to his chair
"It would appear as though your pet can only be found when he wants too, Harry" said the headmaster with a small smile
Harry returned the grin, happy to have his friend back again. He had been afraid the small serpent had left for good after what had happened in the defense classroom a month ago "Is it ok if he comes with us?" he asked hopefully
"I don't think it would be a problem, but you two had better get going" said the headmaster as he got to his feet, the two black haired men following his example and standing as well.
"Here is the time turner, it is set to bring you back here on September the first right before the feast. Be careful and good luck" he concluded as he stood and looped the long chain around their necks and in a flash of light, they were gone.

A/N: Ok, I know this is very unbelievable, but I have been planning on doing this since the beginning, so here it is, but don't worry, it will only be a couple of chapters before they go back, and it isn't going to be like all of those other 'Harry goes back in time, meets his parents, and everything is perfect' fics, this is very different. Please don't hate me for the fight either, but hey, they're teenagers, they fight, not everything can be all perfect. Well, I'm going to answer some of your questions now, so here goes:
Coolone007: it means that you have to wait and see, but part of the answer was in this chapter. As far as Voldemort going dormant, the next chapter explains it.
Ceslestial: it will be a happy ending eventually, and I hope you have a lot of paper if you are really printing this out, because it is long
AgiVega: I know the story was a bit far fetched, but it gives some of the reason as to why Tom Riddle might have become even more evil (I know it will never happen in the books, but it is fun to play around with). I'm glad you liked that one paragraph, it just seemed like something that could actually happen
Kensai: I know parts of it are predictable, but I can't think of any way to make it less so, but if you have any suggestions, let me know!
Kate potter: was it the reunion you were expecting?
John: Thanks!
Bekken: not quite happy and jolly yet, but maybe later?
Amy: I'm glad you like it, so, was this what you thought would happen?
Ciara Moondagger: Very good idea, but I won't tell just yet, wait a few more chapters
Celtic Ember: Sorry if you think this is melodramatic and soppy, but other people seem to like it just fine, so oh well! I know I have quite a few grammatical and spelling errors, but hey, I'm not an English major here, I'm an animal science major, but at least I don't have errors that are so bad you can't even read it.
Skittle: maybe, maybe not, you'll find out later
Fan :@) Thanks for all of them! Sorry, I sometimes forget to let you know when I'll post next, but I'll try to remember now!
Cometgurl05: Thanks, glad you like it
AprilSkrutin: Thank you so much!
Bonnie: Thank you
Green Eyed Knight: Thank you
Jessika Organa Solo: Glad you like it!
Pink Witch: Thanks, glad you like it!
Tired: sorry, I post as much as I can, but I'm in the middle of finals right now, thanks for reading though
Dweem-angel: I'm so glad you like it, and now you know what happened to Sherlock, and don't worry, Harry may be nice to everyone now, but that just changed huh?
Jenna James: yeah, grammar has never been one of my strong suites, but thanks for pointing that out, I'll keep it in mind from now on. I'm glad you liked it, and your theory is good, but you'll find out the truth later!
Gwerty: yeah, it was a cliffy, but was the conversation worth waiting for or was it crap?
Gabby: thanks!
Ok, I think that is all of you, but if I forgot someone, please forgive me. I hope this is a good chapter, please let me know in a review if you thought it was terrible and not believable enough and I'll take it off and think of something else, but please don't flame me.
