Plans
Days went by and Harry still ignored the request of Dumbledore. He didn't tell his friends what his headmaster said to him because Harry knew that Hermione might back out. Harry had to get him back no matter what the consequences. It has been two weeks since Dumbledore told Harry not to use the time turner. Harry got closer and closer to his father. It was as weird as Harry thought it would be because he had known him his whole life. Harry wondered about Lupin all the time but he was very happy about having his father back. Sirius had been cleared because James spoke in a trial even though it was a little too late. Harry was in defense against the darks arts class and he was listening to his father teach. He was a great teacher of course.
"Can anyone tell me about dementors?" James asked his Defense class that day.
Harry, Hermione, Ron and even Draco's hand shot up.
"Hermione."
"Well you can use the patronus to block dementors but I think that Harry knows a little more than anyone else because he had to deal with them in his third year."
"Harry, would you like to tell us what you know?" his father asked him.
Harry hesitated but then decided it would be okay. "Dementors are in Azkaban. They suck the happiness out of you and bring up really bad memories of the past whenever you are near them. When you get kissed by one of them you can walk and everything but there isn't much left of you."
"Interesting, can anyone tell me what they look like?"
No one raised his or her hand. Everyone looked at Harry expecting him to answer. He hesitated once again but started to tell them.
"There skin is really olive greenish and it is tightly pulled back with lots of wrinkles. They have eye sockets but wrinkly skin covers them and there are no eyes. They do have a really big mouth and when it goes in for the dementors kiss the mouth covers almost three quarters of its face."
The class ooed and ahhhd after Harry was done.
"Thank you for sharing Harry. Today class, we are going to work on the patronus charm."
Seamus raised his hand a little shyly. "Professor, I heard that Harry could do a patronus."
Everyone looked at Harry and he nodded.
"Harry is it okay if you show the class."
Harry stood up and said a few words and a stag appeared. It looked around and saw no dementors and disappeared once again. Everyone gasped and looked at Harry in awe.
"Okay everyone. I want you to try it. Harry will you help people if they need it?"
Harry looked at the Slytherins and back to his father. He nodded and took his seat. Some people in the class could do a little patronus but of course no one could do a stag form.
"How come it comes out as a silver band and not as an animal?" someone asked.
"Harry has a very advance patronus that not even I can do. I am sure most of you won't be able to have an animal form but you will have a silver band of light with practice.
By the end of the class most people could do a simple patronus. Harry stayed back as always to talk to his father after class.
"Good job with the patronus today Harry."
"Thanks, I have a question to ask." Harry said a little a hesitant.
"What is it Harry?"
"Well.I was wondering if you could teach me to be an animagus."
"Wow, I wasn't expecting a question like that."
"Can you teach me then?"
"Harry, you know you aren't old enough."
Harry gave him somewhat of a glare but not a mean one.
"You learned when you were young too."
"Okay, I guess I can teach you. No one can find out though. Not even Dumbledore."
Harry jumped up and gave his dad a hug.
"Oh also I don't want to be registered. Not even when I am old enough.
James looked at his son suspiciously but nodded. "We can work on it in my dormitory every Thursday and Wednesday after quidditch practice.
"Okay!" Harry said and started to run out of the room but stopped. "Harry, wait."
Harry turned around.
"There is one more thing I have to talk to you about today."
"Okay," Harry said and sat down on his dad's desk.
"Well.Dumbledore said you were planning something."
Harry didn't answer.
"Harry, Dumbledore said you were planning on trying to bring Sirius back using the a new version of a time turner."
Harry decided to act oblivious.
"What are you talking about? I'm not planning anything."
"Harry I saw the list of ways to get the time turner and ways to rescue him."
"How did you see that I have it in my.."
"Ahh so you admit it."
"Like I told the headmaster, I am not going to use it. I wrote it for my own peace of mind."
"Harry every time you lie you bite your bottom lip. I know when you are not telling the truth. Dumbledore always knows."
"Fine then. Maybe I was going to try. Um.Do you want to help me?"
"Harry you can't do it."
"Don't you want him back?"
"More then anything Harry but there are to many consequences.
"But we can see what happens before it does and decide whether or not we should take the risks."
"Harry, time turners are not 100% reliable. Things can go wrong."
"Please Prongs. Will you help me or not?" Harry pleaded.
No one spoke. There was about five minutes of silence before James spoke. Harry was breathing heavily and watching his dad think. James was staring off into space wrapped up in his own thoughts.
"Yes Harry, I will help you," James finally said.
"You will? I thought you didn't want to face the consequences," Harry said but he suddenly regretted saying it because he didn't want to change his fathers mind.
"I am willing to take the risks as long as no one gets hurt. I have heard a lot about these new time turners and they seem to be pretty reliable."
"When are they coming out?"
"I think sometime next month but I am not completely sure. Harry listen to me, Dumbledore can not find out about this. No one can. If anything goes wrong we could get in a lot of trouble. I don't even know how we are going to explain it when we get him."
Harry couldn't help but feel happy. He would have two people that loved him very much with him. Sirius was cleared so James, Harry and Sirius would be able to live with each other. Like a family. Harry looked up at his father and saw love and worry at the same time.
"Ok," Harry said and nodded happily.
"We have to meet somewhere to talk about it. I don't know if my dormitory will be good because Dumbledore seems to know everything that goes around in school. We can maybe meet in Hogsmeade."
"But Hogsmeade weekend already past and we don't have one for awhile."
"Yes but that is a perk about being a professor I guess. I can take you and Hermione and Ron to Hogsmeade tomorrow since it's a weekend and there are no classes. I am not exactly allowed to go with you even but since I am a marauder I think I can manage," he laughed.
"That's great but I don't want Hermione and Ron involved. It would put them in danger."
"Harry, they want to help. I know they do. Nothing bad will happen to them"
Harry was skeptical but agreed. They were to meet at the secret passage to Hogwarts at 6:00 in the morning the next day.
Harry went off to lunch and told his friends what he and his father discussed.
"I can't believe he is going to help us!" exclaimed Ron.
"We have a marauder on our side. Fred and George are going to go crazy." Harry said.
"Yeah, they don't know who the marauders are. They are coming to the next quidditch game though so they will know soon." Ron said.
Harry looked up at Dumbledore to see if he noticed Harry take out his list of ways to get Sirius back. Dumbledore was looking at Harry and winked.
Harry jumped in surprise and kept his eyes on his headmaster. Dumbledore nodded and started eating.
"You guys, I think Dumbledore wants me to get Sirius!" Harry said.
"Of course Harry, why wouldn't he? But how does he know anyway?" Hermione asked.
"I didn't tell you but Dumbledore talked to me a couple weeks ago. He said I couldn't use the time turner. He said he would do everything he could to make sure I wouldn't and that there were to many consequences."
"How did he find out though?" Ron asked.
"Well I wrote a list of ways to get the time turner. Under that list on the same paper I wrote ways to go about getting Sirius. I accidentally dropped it and he found it and read it."
"That was a stupid thing to do. You should've been more careful," Hermione said.
"I was careful. I put a spell on the paper that made it so the writing would not appear unless the password was said. It was said by accident though."
"Harry maybe he thinks the time turner will work."
"Yeah Hermione. Maybe."
After lunch Harry and his friends walked to the dreaded potions class. For some reason Snape was completely ignoring Harry and his friends ever since he found out about James.
"Maybe Snape is scared of James," Ron said when he thought Snape was out of hearing distance.
"What did you say Mr. Weasley?" he hissed.
"Ron turned around in surprise to find the potions master standing over them.
"Um..er.nothing Professor," Harry said covering for his best friend.
"You are not Weasley."
Ron decided to be brave and speak out no matter how many detentions he would get.
"I said maybe you are scared of Harry's dad."
"And why would you say that?" He asked coldly.
"Well..you have been ignoring Harry ever since you found out that James was back."
That class laughed which made the professor even more aggravated.
"Shut up all of you. I am not scared of any Potter nor will I ever be. Potter, Weasley see me after class to discuss detentions arrangements."
"But I didn't say anything!" Harry yelled.
"I didn't ask if you did now shut up and finish your potion."
Harry or Ron didn't say another word. They ended up having a weeks worth of detention with him.
