{ } – Phoenix Language
A/N: This is just informing you readers that there was be a change for the phoenix necklace that is in my story. Instead of calling it that, I will start calling it the 'phoenix amulet', it sounds simpler and better but don't to worry the design I gave it earlier is still the same. I have only changed the name I call it, so it sounds better.
************************************************************************
Albus Dumbledore, the Headmaster of Hogwarts was sitting in his office talking to Professor McGonagall, when suddenly Professor Snape burst through the door with sweat coming down his face and nearly out of breath. Albus and Minerva immediately helped Severus to a chair to catch his breath. After few minutes, Severus was finally able to settle down and report what the Death Eater meeting was about. Severus reported that the meeting was about, setting up an attack on the Dursley's house to capture Harry Potter. Severus also told Albus that the attack was going to be sometime tonight, but he wasn't sure when. Once Albus heard that part of the report his face showed concern and worry, while Minerva was sitting in her chair completely shocked at the news. Once Severus finished giving his report, he stayed in his chair staring at the cup of tea in his hands waiting for Albus to say something. At the moment Severus Snape wasn't really worried for Harry Potter's safety, because he knew the protection wards would do their jobs. /I sure nothing will happen, they're getting to worked up about Potter. All though ever since I saw Potter in the hospital wing after returning from wherever he went during the third task, something changed in him. When I looked into his eyes there was something different in them, it showed fear, pain, grief, and sadness. / Severus thought to himself remembering the happenings of the last school year.
"Severus? Severus?" called Albus trying to get his attention for the pass minute.
"Wha… What? Oh, sorry Albus." said Severus coming out of his daze, after realizing that both Albus and Minerva were staring at him for who knows how long trying to get his attention.
"I was about to suggest that the three of us go and get Mr. Potter from his relatives. There is a chance that this information was given to see if anyone was a spy. But just as a precaution I believe it would be better, especially if it is true." said Albus seriously. Both Minerva and Severus agreed with Albus decision on getting Harry Potter. Just as the three adults were about to stand up to leave, there was a flutter of wings from the open window. They turned around to see a snowy white owl, which Albus recognized as Hedwig immediately. Upon see her Albus' face became worried; he knew she wouldn't be there unless there was a good reason. Albus quickly went over to Hedwig and untied the letter, after reading it his face was instantly showing every single line is his old face, "Oh dear…" said Albus trailing off at the end.
"What is it, Albus?" asked Minerva sensing the sudden fear and worry in the air.
"We have to get Harry." replied Albus dropping the letter on to the floor and looking at Minerva and Severus, "Now!"
As Albus, Minerva, and Severus were heading for the door to leave, when the entire school started shaking violently. The portraits of the former headmasters of the school were swinging on the walls and their faces were showing fear. The three professors had to brace themselves against the wall to stay standing. After about a minute of the school shaking violently, it stopped. All three professors could only stare at their surroundings and then each other wondering the same thing, /What just happened?/ For not once during the history of the school was there ever an earthquake. About a second later there was another small tremor that could be felt, when suddenly there was a giant flash of light from outside through the open window. Once the tremor stopped, the three professors crowded around the window to see what the flash was. As they looked down the school grounds, what they saw made their eyes nearly double in size. There on the school grounds was a very large dome of white light shinning brightly in the night. Few seconds after the dome appeared it was visibly getting smaller and dimmer. Once the dome of light was gone, Albus and Minerva were shocked because they recognized the object that was now there, as the Dursley house. Just then the fireplace in the office came to life with the image of Arabella Figg's head floating in the fire, looking hysterical.
"Albus! Death eaters… Harry… Dursley house… GONE!" stuttered Arabella, and finally shouting out the last part.
"Yes, I know Arabella." replied Albus trying to calm the hysterical woman.
"What? What do you mean you know? How do you know?" asked Arabella rather loudly.
"Firstly, Arabella try to calm yourself. As for how I know, that I will explain that later. But right now I have to attend to… something." replied Albus trying to choose his words carefully, so not to make her more hysterical.
"All right… I talk to you later." replied Arabella after taking a few deep breaths, before her head disappeared in the fireplace. After fire went out, Albus signaled Minerva and Severus to follow him out on to the grounds to find out what just happened. The three professors sprinted down to the school ground so fast; they were like a gust of wind passing through the school halls.
As the three professors approached the Dursley house, they were able to see the front door was not where it was suppose to be, they quickly drew their wands. After the entered the house and sprinted to the living room, which was connected to the hallway, were greeted with the most shocking scene ever. There floating a few inches in the archway between the living room and hallway was a sphere of light. Also there were three Death eaters two in the living room and one at the end of the hallway, and all three were unconscious. Lastly were the Dursleys who were cowering in a corner of the living room with probably just happened. Minerva and Severus quickly went to the three Death eaters and tie them with rope spells to make sure that none of them escaped. However Minerva nearly screamed when turned over one of the Death eaters to see who is was, it was Peter Pettigrew. When Albus looked to check could only smile for a second, then his expression became serious, still wondering where Harry was. He turned to look at the Dursleys still trying to hide in the corner of the living room, while Minerva and Severus were explaining the still floating sphere of light. Albus walked up to Dursleys and keeled down so he could look at them in the eye to ask his question.
"Where is Harry?" asked Albus eyeing them. The Dursleys were still in shock at what just happened within the last few minutes. But Petunia was the first to come out of her daze, when the Headmaster asked his question. She looked at Professor Dumbledore after staring for a second; she turned her gaze to the floating sphere of light where the other two professors were standing. Albus followed where her gaze was going and it ended on the sphere of light. Albus stood up and walked over to stand next to the sphere of light just like Severus and Minerva. He looked at the sphere of light for about a minute, noting that the brightness of the sphere wasn't affecting their eyesight, even though it was providing enough light to illuminate the room perfectly. In a slow yet steady voice Albus called to the sphere of light, "Harry?"
The sphere of light shimmered for a second, and then a single glowing white feather fell to the floor. Albus kneeled down and picked up the glowing feather, as it lay in his hand he could feel a gentle warmth pass through his body, but he could feel a great within the feather one that he never felt before. As the three professors looked at the strange feather, they could only stare at it in wonder as none of them have ever seen a feather like this before.
"Mr. Potter?" asked Minerva wonder if this strange floating sphere of light would respond again. As it did before the sphere glittered again, but nothing else happened.
"Harry… Can you hear us?" asked Severus this time, while speaking his voice was clearly showing worry. Albus heard the worry in Severus voice and could only smile, and then the sphere of light glittered again but lowered to the floor and started to dim. The three professors could only stare in shock as the light slowly vanished revealing a figure of a 15-year-old teenage boy. However the light was still glowing around him, but this time it was just on his skin. They were currently unable to see his face, but the most interesting part of the boy was his hair was being blown upward from some sort of wind that none of them were feeling. After a few more seconds his hair settled down, and the light on his skin vanished. There standing in the center of the three professors was Harry Potter. But what really shock them were Harry's eyes, they were still glowing white. Harry looked at each professor and finally settling his sights on Professor Dumbledore, and opened his mouth to speak.
(A/N: Because of the light around him, they couldn't see his silver & gold hair. By the time the light vanished his hair returned to normal, because of exhaustion.)
In a weak voice, "Professor… Help… me…" said Harry before his glowing eyes returned back to their normal emerald green color; and revealing very tired, exhausted, and scared eyes. Harry's eyes closed and his body started falling to the floor collapsing from exhaustion. Severus being the closes to Harry quickly moved to ease him to the floor. After lowering Harry to the floor, the three professors quickly examined Harry to see if there was any injures that they could fix themselves, and there were none. Albus quickly conjured a stretcher and helped Harry onto it to take him to the hospital wing. While Severus took the Death eaters to the Ministry, and Minerva would take the Dursleys to the castle.
Albus quickly sprinted to the hospital wing with Harry floating along side him. After entering the hospital wing, Albus levitated Harry onto one of the beds and went to get Madam Pomfrey. Less the two seconds after entering her office both Poppy and Albus ran up to Harry bed. She looked at him, and a face saying, not again, while Albus could only chuckle at her face. As Poppy waved her wand over Harry examining him, Albus informed for on what happened earlier and how they found him. Poppy was speechless on what Albus was telling her, that she didn't even notice that Professor Snape and McGonagall.
"How is he, Poppy?" asked Albus, after watching her wave her wand over Harry's still body on the bed for about ten minutes.
"Well…" said Poppy ending her examination, "From what I can tell he was under the Cruciatus curse, two of them I might add. Other then that he's physically and magical he's exhausted, but everything I try to wake him doesn't work. I don't understand it." Everyone in the room was just staring at Harry and wondering what happened in the past half hour and what was happening to him. Just then there was the sound of flapping wings, everyone turned to the window from where it was coming from to see Fawkes, Professor Dumbledore's pet phoenix. Fawkes flew in and landed on the edge of Harry's bed and looked worriedly at him.
"Fawkes? Don't worry Harry will be fine. By the way, why are you here?" asked Albus wondering why he was here. Fawkes turned his head to look at his master, and then nodding his head showing he agreed with Harry's condition. During this time the other professors were just staring at the phoenix's strange behavior. Fawkes continued to look at Albus as if looking for something, till he notice a glowing white feather just sticking out of his robe pocket. Albus followed Fawkes gaze to the glowing white feather and took it out and held it out in his hand. Fawkes then took the white feather from his master's hand with his beak and placed the feather on Harry's chest. /What is Fawkes doing?/ wondered Albus to himself, as well as other professors thought. Fawkes flew over to the head of Harry's bed, and perched himself there looking down at Harry. Fawkes then spread his wings as if presenting himself and started to trill a phoenix song. The song filled and echoed throughout the room, what everyone found strange about this song was that it was different from the one that Fawkes usually sings. It was different somehow it did lift their spirits like it always does, but for some strange reason they couldn't figure out why it was different. As the song echoed in the room, a white light aura was forming around Harry and the feather resting on his chest was glittering. The white aura covered his entire body till nobody could see Harry anymore. After a minute the white aura vanished and Fawkes stopped singing. As the three professors and Poppy stared at Harry they noticed that the white feather was gone, they looked around on the bed incase it moved somewhere but it could not be seen anywhere, it just vanished. Just as they were about to take a closer look, Harry rolled over on his side like he was just taking a nap sleeping soundly. They also noticed that his hair was much longer now, than just a few minutes ago, it reached about his shoulders. All the adults just looked at each other and silently agreed that they should just let Harry rest and when he wakes up, they can ask him what happened.
Harry woke up to the feel of crispy clean linen sheets and the scent of early morning dew. He instantly knew where he was, being that he was been in this place more times than he can count. /Oh noooo… I'm in the hospital wing. And the term hasn't even started. / groaned Harry to himself, slowly opening his eyes to see that his guess was correct. Harry still feeling a bit tired sat up and looked out the window, to see the sun was just starting to rise. He than looked around the room to see that nobody was there, even Madam Pomfrey. /That's strange, usually when I'm in here there's always somebody watching me. / Harry wondered it himself while getting out of bed to stand and stretch a bit, since he never liked lying in the hospital wing beds. As he was standing on the side of the bed, Harry felt like there was something missing, his glasses. But he remembered that he didn't need them anymore, but since he wore them for practically his entire life it was just a force of habit, he looked at the counter next to his bed to see that they were neatly placed there for when he woke up. Harry smiled and picked them up, than place them in his pocket and started heading for the door. /Maybe I can sneak out before anyone catches me. / Harry thought to himself as he reached for the door handle. "And just where do you think you're going?" asked an all to familiar voice belonging to Madam Pomfrey from the other side of the wing. Harry mentally groaned to himself as he turned around to see the face of a very stern faced Madam Pomfrey. "Get back into that bed." She ordered. Harry obeyed since he really wasn't in the mood to put up a fight, and if he ran for it she might stun him if he did. Harry got into the bed that he was in less than five minutes ago, and waited for her to make usual check up on him. After she was done, she said that she was going to fetch the headmaster and she order Harry not to move.
Harry waited patiently while Madam Pomfrey went to get the Headmaster. As he waited, Harry could hear the sound of a song slowly getting larger. Harry looked at the window to see Fawkes flying through the window and landing on the side of his bed. Harry smiled as he looked at the beautiful scarlet phoenix and rubbed his chest of red feathers. Fawkes who was enjoying the attention leaned into Harry's stroking more. "It must be great being a phoenix?" asked Harry casually looking at the phoenix.
{Yes it is.}, replied Fawkes, startling Harry.
{What did you just say?}, asked Harry a little startled that he just heard Fawkes talk to him. After asking his question, Harry noticed a trill was coming out of his mouth instead of his voice. Harry could only stare at the phoenix with his mouth hanging open. While Fawkes in his own way, was smiling if it was possible.
{I said it is great being a phoenix, young Lord.}, repeated Fawkes looking at Harry.
{How am I able to understand and talk to you, Fawkes?}, asked Harry nervously missing being addressed as 'young Lord'.
{Time will answer it. Now you just regain your strength.}, answered Fawkes to the confused Harry.
Fawkes then looked at the door as it opened, showing Professor Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, and Madam Pomfrey. As they came to Harry's bed, he suddenly felt very nervous. Harry quickly looked at Fawkes, and he trilled a note that helped him relax. Then his bed was surround by the adults, all of them looking at him and him staring at them. After while Professor McGonagall and Snape conjured chairs for themselves and Poppy left to go to her office, seeing that they didn't need her right now. There was dead silence for a while, until Professor Dumbledore broke it.
"Good morning, Harry. How are you feeling this morning?" asked Dumbledore looking at Harry with the twinkle in his blue eyes.
"Good morning, Professor. I'm feeling better, still a bit tired though. Um… How long have I been in here? Or should I even ask?" asked Harry, wondering if he might regret the answer he gets.
"You've been in the hospital wing for three days, sleeping since you're… unusual arrival." answered Dumbledore warily, looking at Harry.
"Um, Professor? What do you mean by 'unusual' arrival?" asked Harry wondering what he was talking about.
"You don't remember how you came here, Harry?" asked Dumbledore, seeing that Harry couldn't recall everything that happened, of that night.
"Well… Not everything. I remember sending Hedwig with a note about the Death eater attack. Right after she left there was an explosion downstairs. Then I went down with my wand to see what it was. It turned out there were three Death eaters, and one of them was Wormtail. Then a duel started between the three Death eaters and me. I took out one of them. I hide in the kitchen to catch my breath, than Wormtail said… something about Cedric. And I got angry, after that things get a little fuzzy. The next thing I knew was that Wormtail was on the ground and there was a large indentation on the wall, by then my angry was going down. Then I was hit from behind from the other Death eater. After that Wormtail and the Death eater hit me with the cruciatus curse. After a while they turned their attention to the Dursleys deciding on what they were going to do to them. I was able to hear what they were going to do, and I couldn't let them do it to them. Even though I hate them, they don't deserve to die like how Wormtail planned. I could feel my angry growing and after that everything went blank. The next thing I remember seeing was the three of you. (Pointing to the three professors.) I assumed you three apparated there and took care of the Death eaters. Then the last thing I remember was waking up here… just a few minutes ago." said Harry trailing off at the end and slouching in his bed.
"Thank you, Harry. You have cleared up part of what happened that night your relative's house was attacked. Okay, now Harry. What I am about to tell you is what I think happened, after talking to your Aunt, what you told me just now, and what a witness told me…" said Professor Dumbledore, while sitting on the bed across from his bed. After looking at Harry for a few seconds making sure that he was ready for what he was about to tell him. So he told Harry what happened after the Death eaters arrived. He told him what happened after Wormtail teased him about Cedric. At this point Harry was shocked to hear that when he blasted Wormtail across the hallway that his eyes were glowing, based on what his aunt told Dumbledore. Dumbledore went on to explain that after he was hit with the two cruciatus cruses, he was surrounded by a glowing white sphere and his hair appeared to have changed color. This of course made Harry nervous since he never told the professor that his hair changed gold and silver on the day of his birthday. Unfortunately Dumbledore noticed his uneasiness when this was mentioned, but decided that he would talk about it later. He continued on about how the white light then surrounded the house, and how apparently he somehow apparated not just himself and everyone else but the entire house on to the school grounds. Dumbledore continued to explain how they found him, the Death eaters, and the Dursleys. After finishing what he thinks happened to Harry, he looked him and waited for the information to sink in.
During the whole time, Harry could only stare at his professors completely confused and at the same time was certain that everything that his professor just said was true. Harry told Dumbledore that what he told him felt like it was true, but he was fuzzy on a few things. They all agreed with his assumption, and that maybe after a while he will remember something. Harry spent sometime just talking with his professors on what else happened that night. He was surprised that Snape was silent throughout the whole conversation. Although Harry didn't say anything, could see relief in his eyes the he was safe. After they were done the professors left.
As Dumbledore was about to leave, he turned around to Harry, "Oh there is one more thing, Harry. The trial for Wormtail is going to be in a three days. As you know bringing him to court will prove Sirius of his innocence. Also you will probably be called upon as a witness, do you think that you'll be strong enough by then?" asked Dumbledore. Harry could only look at his professor for asking such a silly question.
"Professor, just wake me up on that day and we can go." Harry replied to the professor's question.
"Very well, Harry. Come to my office in three days and then will head to the Ministry for the trial. The password is Sweet Tarts" said Dumbledore smiling seeing the excitement in Harry's face. Right after he left, Poppy came back into the room to make her check on Harry. After say that he was fine to leave, Harry practically sprinted out of the door. Seeing that it was after lunch time Harry decided to go to the kitchens to get something to eat. Harry was greeted the usual way when he met Dobby and was swarmed by the other house elves when he asked for something to eat. After eating his fill, Harry thanked Dobby and the other house elves and started wondering around the school. Some time later Harry found himself in front of the fat lady portrait.
"Um… I don't know the password. But can you let me in, please?" Harry asked the fat lady who just smiled.
"Of course dear. Not to worry there's no password during the summer. So just go on in." replied the fat lady opening the entrance way to the common room.
"Thank you." Harry replied entering the common room, which looked still the same as ever. Harry smiled at himself feeling like he finally returned home. He headed up for the boys fifth year room to his bed to get some sleep. As Harry entered his room, he noticed that his trunk was already there next to his bed. So Harry decided that maybe he should unpack first, then go to sleep. After unpacking his clothes, Harry was very tired so he just dropped into his bed and feel asleep as soon as his eyes closed.
Harry woke up the next morning, surprised that he slept through yesterday and guessed that he must have been very tired. He decided maybe a good shower should do him some good, so he grabbed his things and headed for the boys' prefect bathroom. When Harry arrived at the boys' prefect bathroom, and said the password to get in. After removing his clothing, he felt something around his neck and looked to see he still had on the phoenix necklace, but decided to leave it on. As Harry stood there in the shower letting the water massage his body, he completely forgot about the world for a short way. After taking his shower, he decided that a nice relaxing bath was probably also a good idea. After filling the huge tub with water at the right temperature, he eased himself in and once he was in his whole body just relaxed in the water. While Harry sat there in the tub relaxing, his mind began to wonder and he found himself thinking about when his hair changed and how he apparated the entire Dursley house. But his mind was most sticking to the change with his hair. Harry started to theorize that maybe the change that he had, had something to do with his ability to apparate. After getting back to the dorms Harry put on some fresh clothes, and went to the Great Hall to get some breakfast. When he arrived there was only one table and very few teachers so he sat at the far end and ate by himself. After finishing he decided to go head back to the common to relax. This was his routine for the next three days till the trial just relaxing and regaining his strength
Finally the day of the trial came and Harry was up early in the morning, took a quick shower, and changed into some fresh clothes. Lastly Harry took a piece of leather sting and tired his hair back at the hairline above the back of his neck, into a ponytail. After finishing he went up to Dumbledore's office. When he arrived Harry gave the password to the stone gargoyle and went up the staircase. After knocking on the door, Dumbledore opened it and was allowed in. Harry was surprised that there were more people there than just the two of them, there was also Snape and McGonagall.
"Well, now that everyone is here. Why don't we all start heading for the Ministry. All you have to say when you enter the floo network is, 'Ministry Courtroom 5." Dumbledore address to everyone in the room, before heading to fireplace and taking a pinch of the floo powder and throwing it into the fire. After entering the fireplace, everyone else followed his directions and repeated the same process. Harry came out of the fireplace rather quickly but managed to catch himself before falling flat on his face. He looked around to see that the courtroom that the trial was going to be held in looked exactly like the courtroom that he saw in Dumbledore's pensive last year. Harry and the three professors took their seats, which were located in the front of the courtroom. Harry surveyed the room to see quite a few reporters in the room, but Harry's attention was distracted when his eyes saw Lucius Malfoy sitting in the room, and his angry started to sizzle again. Remembering what happened last year at the graveyard, Harry's blood started to boil. Dumbledore sensed a strange energy growing in the air, he looked around the room to try and locate it but his eyes immediately locked on to Harry when he noticed his hair was starting to move like there was wind in the room. But as Dumbledore observed Harry, there was no wind in the enclosed room. "Harry? Are you alright?" asked Dumbledore in a concerned voice. Harry came out of his daze when Dumbledore questioned him, and his angry settled down. "Yeah. I'm all right, professor." replied Harry trying to control his angry. However Dumbledore could tell that Harry was trying to control his angry for some reason, but decided that maybe later he could talk to him alone.
The main doors to the courtroom opened and two groups of aurors were escorting two men into the room. But one of the men was fighting with the aurors, but he wasn't really getting anywhere, who Harry recognized as Wormtail. While the other group was escorting Sirius Black, who was walking in with a smile. Harry also smiled knowing that his uncle was going to be cleared, and Wormtail will be put in prison or maybe he'll receive the Dementor Kiss. After both Wormtail and Sirius were seated, the judge came in and got the proceedings under way. After going through the basic introductions of the case and introducing the jury and reasons for the court session. Once that was done the judge informed everyone in the room that witnesses who were called up to the stand to testify under veritaserum. The first person to be called up was Harry, he nervously stood up than took his seat on the stand and was handed a cup filled with the potion. Harry took the cup and drank it in one gulp, he handed the cup back and could feel the liquid moving down throughout his body as a cold feeling was starting to take over. Harry closed his eyes letting the potion take a hold of him, however as he could hear a strange melody that sounded awfully familiar but he couldn't place it. Harry's attention was brought back into the courtroom when the judge decided that the potion was given enough time to take affect.
"All right, let's get these questions underway. What is your name?" asked the judge.
"Harry James Potter." replied Harry. /That was question was all right. It seemed pretty basic./ Thought Harry to himself wondering what questions the judge was going to ask.
"Do you know who two men that are in front of you?" asked the judge pointing to Sirius and Wormtail who were surrounded by aurors.
"Yes. The short bald one is Peter Pettigrew, and the other man is Sirius Black." Answered Harry, glaring at Wormtail. Whispers broke out in the courtroom when Harry identified Wormtail.
"Are you aware that Mr. Black was your godfather?" asked the judge.
"Yes, I am aware of that fact." replied Harry to the judge's question.
"Would you trust Mr. Black?" asked the judge continuing in his questioning.
"Yes I would trust him with my life." answered Harry confidently with a smile.
"Was Mr. Black the secret keeper of your parents, when they went into hiding 14 years ago?" asked the judge, ignoring the whispers.
"No. My godfather was supposed to be their secret keeper, but he convinced my parents to change to Wormtail over there. He thought that it would have been a good bluff, making Voldemort think that he was still it and would go after him. But what none of them knew was that Wormtail was actually working for Voldemort. He betrayed my parents!" yelled Harry at the end of his answer.
"Would you please tell the court how you found out this information?" asked the judge. This made Harry nervous because that would mean that he would have to tell the court that Professor Lupin was helping Sirius hide out and that he was an illegal animagus. As Harry was about to start telling what happened during his third year, he could hear that strange melody again. Suddenly Harry remembered where he heard it before, it was the phoenix song that he heard during his birthday when he was going through his 'change'. The song continued and he could feel the affect of the veritaserum getting weaker, and he was feeling much better. So Harry started telling the court what happened during his third year, leaving out a few unneeded things that could get some people in trouble. As he was telling the court, he received confused looks from Sirius and Dumbledore, but he ignored them through his explanation.
When he was finished he was dismissed and questioning continued, after him was Dumbledore and then Snape. The questions asked were pretty much the same and they gave the same answers that Harry gave. When they were done the judge, called a break. After the hour break everyone resumed his or her seats in the room. Now Sirius and Wormtail were going to be questioned. Sirius didn't put up any resistance and answered his questions confidently. Wormtail on the other hand was putting up so much resistance that the aurors had to stun him, and poured the potion down his throat. The entire courtroom was completely stunned from what they were hearing from him, as he answered his questions. When the trial was over it was pretty clear that Sirius was innocent and that Wormtail was done for and was going to prison. On Harry's way out of the courtroom to the fireplace with the other professors, all Harry could think about was his godfather. Harry lost in his thought wasn't even looking to where he was going, and walked straight into someone. After bumping into the person he quickly looked up to apology, but instead was looking into the smiling face of his godfather. All Harry could do was smile as well, and quickly throw his arms around him, which he returned also. They separated after hearing a cough, which came from Dumbledore to tell them that they had to go. Harry and Sirius smiled and went to the fireplace to head back to Hogwarts.
1) A/N: Really now readers. I know some of you thought that Harry would appear in Atlantis, sorry to disappoint some of you. But if you were careful in the Ch.1 reading only he appeared, not the house.
2) A/N: Don't worry though if will be there soon. If I can hurry with his current time setting.
