*** Warning: OotP spoilers. This Fic continues from when Harry asks Nearly
Headless Nick if Sirius will become a ghost. It will not be a long story,
maybe two chapters. But thanks anyway. And please review! ***
Sirius would come back. He had never kept Harry waiting. Harry repeated these sentences in his mind as he ran with all the speed he could conjure towards the great hall.
He ran inside, and straight up to the teachers table, stopping only when he was directly in front of none other than the great Albus Dumbledore.
People were staring from the tables. Most of the Slytherin's had continued their conversations.
"What is it Harry?" Dumbledore asked, his eyes full of concern.
"I need. Speak. Now." Harry panted.
"Come on Harry." Dumbledore said, leading Harry from the Great Hall, into the small room where Harry had been sent when his name had come out of the Goblet of Fire.
Dumbledore led them over to two seats that were seated beside the fireplace. He sat in one, and invited Harry to sit in the other, using his hand.
Harry sat. "Alright, Harry, I'm listening." Dumbledore said.
"Sirius gave me a mirror. He used the mirrors with my dad, and I tried to use it, but it wouldn't work. That's probably because he didn't have the mirror on him when he- when he- when he went through the veil." Harry managed to say. "So then, I had another idea. I ran to see Nearly Headless Nick. I was sure he could help me. But he said Sirius would not come back."
Harry paused. He looked up at Dumbledore, into those bright blue eyes, and saw nothing but grief and sadness. A single tear tumbled down Dumbledore's cheek. Not now, please, Harry thought, not when I need you to help me.
"He can come back though, sir, Sirius will come back. He has never let me down. Never kept me waiting." Harry paused again, and looked back at Dumbledore, he had leaned over.
"What is it Harry?" Dumbledore asked.
"I want to know if he can come back from behind the Veil." Harry said slowly.
Dumbledore looked at Harry as If he was considering whether to answer or not.
"Well, Harry, I need you to understand. There is no spell that can awaken the dead." He said slowly, then continued. "But, the Unspeakables who work in the Department of Mysteries are still studying this veil. I am led to believe, that they have had a significant lead, since Sirius's death, and I have been told that there is a chance they will be able to bring those who are trapped in the veil, back."
Harry grinned. He knew it, he knew Sirius would be back, but Dumbledore was not smiling.
"Do not get your hopes up, Harry, they still are not sure whether this method will work. Please Harry, you have suffered enough hurt, without losing your godfather all over again." He said.
"No. I know he'll be back." Harry said. The grin was fading from his face. How could Dumbledore tell Harry not to expect Sirius to be back? Sirius was still alive. Harry could feel it. "I know he's fighting."
"That may be Harry, but still, he cannot get himself back, that has been made clear, so it is the Department of Mysteries workers who must bring him back. Put your faith in them, my dear boy, and not in hope."
Harry stood up. "I'm going to the Department of Mysteries, Professor, as soon as the summer term ends. Please excuse me, sir." Harry said, and he left.
*** A/N - More coming soon. There will be maybe, two or three chapters to this. I do believe that Sirius will return myself. Thanks for reading, please Review! I hope to have this finished by the end of the week, if not in the next few days. Thanks again, and sorry it was short. ***
