Boggart
Harry, We wanted to let you know that we saw Snape in Hogsmeade a couple of days ago. We put a charm on him that made do something nice for a person he hates. We hope that person is you. He probably already did it but maybe not. He won't lie or anything but he will be very nice. It is something we invented when we were bored. Have fun!
Gred and Feorge
Harry folded up the not and put it in his trunk that night after his very strange Occlumency lesson.
"Now it all makes sense. I thought something weird was going on," Harry said to himself.
The next day at breakfast Harry could see Snape glaring at him from the head table.
"I can't believe the twins did that!" Hermione said.
"I heard about them working on that. Now at least we have what we needed," said Ron.
"Do you think he will ask for it back or be mean about it?"
"I doubt it. I think he meant that he wanted to give it to you but that he never would. I guess Fred and George just helped him along a bit," Hermione stated.
"I hope so."
After breakfast Harry and his friends headed towards the dungeon where they accidentally bumped into Draco Malfoy.
"Potty,"
"Shut up Malfoy," Ron yelled.
Malfoy grunted at Ron and faced Harry.
"So Potty, think your all big and bad now that you have your Daddy back from the dead. He is such a loser; he didn't even do anything anyone said he did. What a git."
Harry walked up to Malfoy very close. "Lerera!" Harry yelled.
Draco flew into the wall and potions spilled all over the floor. Malfoy got up really fast and "Expell-"
"Mr. Malfoy!" said a voice at the entrance.
"It was Potter Professor! He was trying to hex me!" "Save it Mr. Malfoy! You and Potter go to the Headmaster now. I am not in the mood for either of you."
Harry moaned and Malfoy huffed. They walked up to Professor Dumbledore slowly and very far apart. Harry stalled behind but soon they both got to the gargoyles.
"Do you know the password Potter?" Malfoy snarled.
Harry walked up to the gargoyle and whispered as quiet as he could the password. Malfoy glared at him for not saying the password loud and they both walked up the stairs and knocked.
"Come in," they heard and walked in to see Dumbledore sitting behind his ancient desk.
"What happened?"
"Well, Potter hexed me and I was about to retaliate when Snape came in and sent us here."
Harry didn't say anything because he knew that was true.
"Well Mr. Potter?" the headmaster asked.
"It's true but he provoked me. He said something about my father." Harry said.
"15 points from each house now Mr. Malfoy, I want you to back to Potions. Harry I want to talk to you for a second."
Malfoy left and Harry looked at his headmaster apprehensively.
"Mr. Potter, I heard that you talked to Professor Snape yesterday."
"Fred and George put a charm on him so he would do something nice for me."
"Nevertheless he told me what you said."
Harry didn't know what to say.
"He also told me about Occlumency lessons which I will be taking over from now on."
Harry smiled and looked in the twinkling eyes of the Professor.
"Harry I want you to talk with your father about what you told Snape. I also want you to talk with him about the memories from Occlumency lessons."
"But I am fine now. I don't think I need to talk."
"Harry, I know that you have a mask on most of the time. I can sense that you are not always as happy as you let it show. It is okay to be sad but you should talk about it once in a while."
"I don't know what you are talking about. I am fine."
"I already sent an owl to tell your father about the conversation and he also knows about the mask you wear."
"I don't wear a mask. I am not sad because now I have my dad," Harry lied. Everything really wasn't okay. He knew that his dad was the best thing that ever happened to him but he did wear a mask. People thought he was a lot happier then he really was.
"Talk to him Harry. You can leave now but you don't have to go to Potions. Professor Potter doesn't have a class now. You can go see him now."
"Fine," Harry said and left.
He didn't want to go see his dad. He really did but he didn't want to talk about what Snape found out. Potions was almost over so Harry waited for his friends and walked with them down the corridor.
"Hey mate, did you get in trouble?" Ron asked.
"Malfoy came back but how come you didn't?" Hermione questioned.
"I didn't get in trouble but I have to go. Oh yeah, I did get points taken off but no big deal."
Hermione growled.
The rest of Harry's day went by fairly smooth. He avoided his dad and didn't stay after his class to talk with him like usual. He was reminded about animagus lessons that were after dinner though.
Harry went to his dad's dormitory after dinner. He decided that he wouldn't talk about anything he didn't want to and he would just work on his form.
"Hello Harry, did you think about what form you want to be"
"I get to choose?"
"Yes, but you should think very hard about it."
"I want to be a snowy owl," Harry said immediately.
"Are you sure?"
Harry nodded.
For the next hour and a half Harry and his Dad worked on animagi. By the end of the class Harry could transform feathers on his arm. At the end of the hour Harry walked towards the door but his father called him back.
"Harry, I think we need to talk."
"I have to go," Harry said and left ignoring the calls behind him.
Harry saw Hermione and Ron sitting by the fire.
"Harry, I found a boggart. We should tell your dad."
"Where is it Hermione? I know how to get rid of it. You should too."
"I do but I still think we should tell him."
"No Hermione, I will get rid of it," Harry said and walked towards the door.
Hermione grabbed Ron and led the way down a long corridor. They soon came to a room that looked like an old classroom and walked in.
There was a trunk sitting at the back of the room and it was shaking. Harry walked up to it and a boggart appeared but quickly it changed into something else. Hermione, the Weasleys, Sirius, Cedric, Dumbledore and James Potter all lay dead in front of him. Harry soon forgot it was a boggart and started to shake. Ron ran out of the room and came back with Professor Potter. Harry was sitting on the floor with his knees up to his chest and his face buried into his hands. He was rocking back and forth sobbing and Hermione didn't know what to do.
Soon James came in and sat beside his son. "It's okay Harry, It's just a boggart," he said as he shooed Ron and Hermione out of the room.
Harry sat up and wiped away his tears. He made it look like he had never been crying and he followed his father to his dormitory and sat next to a warm fire. He stared into it thinking about everything that had just happened and what was definitely going to happen.
"Are you okay Harry?" James asked and handed him a cup of tea.
"Fine," Harry lied.
"Now why is that so hard to believe?"
Harry shrugged.
"Harry how come you went to take care of the boggart? I always do that here."
"You taught us how in my third year. I thought I could do it."
"Even though you did it a couple years ago I still should do it. Sometimes people react badly and let their fear overtake them."
"Like me." It wasn't a question but a statement.
"Yeah, like you," James said quietly. "Dumbledore told me what you said to Snape."
Harry didn't say anything.
"Do you really think it was your fault that Cedric and Sirius died?"
Harry looked up to his dad's warm and friendly eyes and saw concern and sympathy but he still didn't say anything.
"Harry, it was not your fault. I don't want you to ever think that it was." James said.
"It is my fault," Harry muttered under his breath.
"No it isn't Harry, it is Voldemort's fault. You are not responsible for that."
"Yes I am, I was so stupid! I let him trick me and it caused Sirius's death, I also had to be nice so I let Cedric take the cup. I should've saved them but I didn't! IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" Harry yelled.
"Harry, listen to me. Voldemort kills people without even thinking about it. If he didn't kill those two then it would've been two other people. He wants you to blame yourself and show him your weaknesses. We are in this together. I am part of the prophecy too and so is Sirius."
"He really is then?"
"Yes, there is another part to the prophecy that is added on. It says a very powerful wizard who is close to the other two will help, His black paws will be a great asset"
"That means we cant defeat him without Sirius. We have to get him back."
"Yes we do. I can't believe Snape gave you the time turner and actually talked to you."
"Fred and George put a spell on him. He only did it because of them."
"Well I am still glad."
"Me too."
"Harry, Dumbledore also told me about the other things Snape saw in Occlumency lessons. I wish I had known how your relatives treated you."
"It doesn't matter, I get to stay with you now so everything is going to be alright. I do have one question though."
"What's that?" James asked.
"Well, how come I couldn't live with you when you were Lupin? I have the family protection and everything."
"It was actually because I didn't want to get to close to you while knowing that I couldn't tell you. I was tempted to tell you many times."
"Oh."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, now that we have the time turner when are we going to use it?"
"I think you should finish your animagi before we do it. If you try really hard I think you can do it within two weeks. You are going a lot faster then I did."
"Okay then lets plan on going in two weeks. We see what happens and hopefully it turns out good. Then we get Sirius back.
"Okay two weeks then.
