Chapter Five: The Return of Sirius Black

One week later, the spell was completely ready to be performed. It was powerful and highly advanced magic but they all were prepared. At midnight Minera, Severus, Remus, Harry and Narcissa entered the Room of Requirement. Candles were set down and everyone took their places. Harry stood the west point of the star. Minera at the Southwest, Severus at the Southeast and Remus stood directly across from Harry and Narcissa to the North. Everyone had rehearsed and rehearsed for this day. And waiting for the sign from Mrs. Malfoy, the room was quiet. Then she nodded her head and began to chant, "Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black."

Going counterclockwise, Harry chanted the name ten times as well. Then McGonagall and Snape and Remus. Then together they chanted,

"Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black. Sirius Black." Once they were finished, Narcissa took a dagger out of her robes and said,

"With my blood, you shall live.

With my blood, you shall have flesh.

With my blood, you shall have bone.

With my blood, your heart shall beat."

She drew the knife to her arm and they began to say, "Black as night, magic make it right. White as light, raise death from our sight. Red as the rose, give him the body everyone knows." She cut down to the bone and the blood spilled.

She set the knife above her arm again and once again they said, "Black as night, magic make it right. White as light, raise death from our sight. Red as the rose, give him the body everyone knows." Blood spilled from both wounds and it began to twist into something and appeared to be boiling. Just one more cut...

When she drew the knife up again, Remus feared she would pass out but she quickly cut down to the bone again and more spilled in the center. "Black as night, magic make it right. White as light, raise death from our sight. Red as the rose, give him the body everyone knows."

The blood began to form what looked like a heart. It was still sizzling on the floor though and dripping from Mrs. Malfoy's arm.

"Black as night, magic make it right. White as light, raise death from our sight. Red as the rose, give him the body everyone knows."

And then the liquid streched out, and became white. It molded itself into a skeleton.

"Black as night, magic make it right. White as light, raise death from our sight. Red as the rose, give him the body everyone knows."

It began to make the vital organs. Then muscles and viens.

"Black as night, magic make it right. White as light, raise death from our sight. Red as the rose, give him the body everyone knows."

Slowly, skin began to form. And hair began to grow. The elbow length tangle he had had before was gone. Now it was an elbow length beautifully flowing river of hair.

"Black as night, magic make it right. White as light, raise death from our sight. Red as the rose, give him the body everyone knows."

The body took in a breath, it seemed strained. It raised itself up slightly, and then went back down

.

"Black as night, magic make it right. White as light, raise death from our sight. Red as the rose, give him the body everyone knows."

Then, it took another breath and began to look around, curiously. It spotted Remus and stood up.

"Remus?" he asked.

"Sirius..." he whispered. Everyone stood and stared. Sirius Black was alive and in the flesh. Narcissa fainted, probably from loss of blood. Minerva ran over to her.

Severus stood looking, watching Sirius's naked body with a bemused expression on his face. Sirius then grabbed Remus and hugged him.



"Can I have that robe now?" Sirius asked with a grin. Remus gave it to him. And he put it on.

Then Harry fell to the floor. His hair had turned silver white. And he was trembling.

"Damn! I should never have let him particpate!" Remus mumbled.

"What? What's wrong with Harry?" Sirius demanded. And Remus swore under his breath.

"Minerva, get Poppy. The magic was too advanced and it must have strained him. You see, raising someone from the dead takes a lot of stamina. Harry might've--"

He was interuppted, yet again by Madam Pomfrey bustling over Mrs. Malfoy and Harry. Both were in bad condition but Harry was in better shape so she took Mrs. Malfoy, who needed a bood transfusion to first.

"Who here is blood type A?" She asked.

"I am, but I doubt you need the blood of a werewolf..." Remus muttered.

"Mr. Lupin, come here, we do need you!" Poppy said, contradicting him. She stuck her wand in his vein and then conected with Mrs.Malfoy's arm.

Sirius leaned over Harry. He looked different with silver white hair. But also, really seductive. Sirius wondered... but no! He was his godson. It could never happen... Could it?

A/N: Yeah, I don't own the Practical Magic parts. I'm not sure whether I stated that yet or not, but I do not own them. K? And the spell is a lot more compilcated than indicated in chapter 1. Also, have you noticed that Remus is constantly getting interuppted? And aren't you glad I decided that I would finish this and then leave? LOL. REVIEW!
