The Betrayal.

Ron and Hermione went down to the common room, leaving Harry to think about what he wanted to do. The fact that his two friends wanted to leave didn't shock him as much as he had expected it would. He knew things had changed to much for it to change in a few days, they needed more time. Besides, Ron was right, they had worked to hard in their muggle school to throw it all away when they still had a few months to go. Dragon realised with a start that his decision was already made, the only thing holding him back right now was Sirius. The older man had gone through so much, but now Harry wondered what would be more important to him, lose his best friends or his godson, because Harry knew without a doubt that his parents and him were not about to patch thinks up anytime soon, it had hurt to much and he needed some time away from them to come to terms that the idealised version of his parents didn't exist. With a sigh Harry turned on his bed, Sirius wouldn't be able to make a decision, but he thought his godfather would be happier with his old friends. They knew each other much better and had the same age, what could Sirius do with a sixteen year old? He would only stand in the way of his godfather. As much as it hurt to leave the man behind, Harry was sure that was the right decision. With a sigh, Harry sat up and summoned a parchment from his trunk. Carefully he wrote a letter to Sirius, letting him know about their decision and why he had done it. Once the letter was written, Harry changed clothes and went downstairs. Ron and Hermione had been sitting huddled in a corner, ignoring everyone else in the room, and immediately looked up when they heard him come down. With a slight nod from his head, Harry motioned for the door and the trio silently left the common room, leaving their families behind. Slowly, Dragon led his friends through the halls. Hermione noticed they were going to Dumbledore's office and knew Harry had made up his mind. Gently, she took his hand and squeezed it, while Ron put an arm on his shoulder, also guessing his friend's decision.

Once inside the headmaster's office, Ron didn't beat around the bush. "Headmaster, we are sorry to say that we are leaving as soon as we go out of the office."

Dumbledore looked shocked and sad for a moment. Softly he asked: "Is this about Lily and James?"

Hermione's soft voice rang through the room. "There are lots of reasons why we have arrived to this decision, but that was the last straw, yes."

The old headmaster nodded. "Is there any chance you will be attending Hogwarts in the future?"

Once again Hermione answered. "If you would allow it, we would like to take our last year here. We could use the summer to catch up on what we need."

Dumbledore smiled again and nodded. "Of course Miss Granger, that can be easily arranged."

Harry spoke for the first time. "Then I guess we are going." He placed to letter on Dumbledore's desk. "Could you give this to Sirius, please?"

Ron and Hermione also placed letters on the desk and Dumbledore nodded in acceptance. With a final goodbye, Harry, Ron and Hermione left the room and summoning their trunks, left the castle silently.

A few days later, the trio headed to the airport to greet their guardian. They were a little anxious to see her again, she had been for a long time their support and they had missed her in the last days. The moment they saw her, Hermione threw her arms around her tightly, enjoying the comfort the older woman gave her. After a moment, she moved aside and let the boys embrace their teacher.

Professor Villjé had been very afraid when she entered the airport, she was nearly sure her three kids wouldn't be there, that they would have forgotten all about her in the few days they had spent with their real families. So she was really startled when the slight form of a girl launched herself on her and embraced her around the neck, like she would never let go. Looking down, her concerned face changed to one of happiness and she embraced Phoenix tighter. After having embraced the two boys, she looked them over carefully and immediately looked concerned again. They were a lot paler than she remembered and she was sure they had lost a few pounds. Gently, she took Phoenix's hand and began to led the trio out of the airport, deciding to question them on what had happened later.

In an hour, they had arrived at her house, the house she had shared with the three children from the moment they had been released from the hospital nearly a year ago. While the boys put her things in her room, Phoenix made some tea and a few minutes later, they were all sitting in the living room sipping on their cups. A little while later, when everyone had relaxed, Professor Villjé put her cup down and looked intently at the three teenagers in front of her. "How was it?"

All three shrugged and looked away. They had never told her about their lives at Hogwarts and about the wizarding world. When they returned, they had decided to finally tell her she had done so much for them that it only seemed fair to warn her of anything strange that might happen while they were around. With a deep sigh, Dragon put his cup down and looked straight at the older woman.

"Professor, we think it's time to tell you about a few things that have been going on with us. But I have to warn you it's a pretty crazy story and a very long one. It's up to you if you want to know about our lives before we came into your life or if you don't want to know."

Professor Villjé thought about it for a while, she knew the children usually didn't joke about their past and she could see Dragon was very serious. Finally she nodded. "I want to know, I want to be able to help you as much as I can and I can't do it if I don't know most of the things."

Dragon nodded. "We thought you might. I think that before we begin with our story we have to tell you some things that are hidden to most people. Professor, what would you say if I told you magic was real?"

The woman didn't say anything, but her face clearly told him she thought he was joking. With a sigh, he looked at his friends. "We are going to prove it to you."

With that statement, Hermione stood up and waved her hand over the table, making the cups fill once again with warm tea. Ron flicked his wrist from where he was sitting and one of the cups floated up to her. With trembling hands she took the cup and looked back at them. Seeing that wasn't enough, Harry stood up and muttered "Expect Patronum." A silvery figure shot out of his hand, but the three teenagers were very surprised when the familiar stag didn't appear. In it's place and big dog jumped forward, looked for a dementor to destroy. After the shock of seeing Padfoot instead of Prongs, Harry smiled a little, the same way that it had felt good to have Prongs protect him in the past, it felt good to have his godfather's animagy form with him now, ater all that happened, it only seemed natural.

Professor Villjé spoke a few moments later. "Ok, I think I believe you. Can you tell me now?"

The three teenagers nodded relieved, it would have been difficult if she hadn't believed them. Dragon cleared his throat and began to talk. "It all began when a dark wizard called Voldemort..."

The end.

A/N: Well this is the end of The Betrayal, there will be a sequel but I want to write some chapters before posting them so it can take a while. Once again, thanks for all reviews.
