Harry's POV
"Wake up freak! It's my Duddy Dinkydum's birthday and I want EVERYTHING to be just right!" Aunt Petuina screamed.
Harry sighed. Things were just as normal. Every year, Dudley celebrated his birthday. Every year his presents increased steadily.
Harry reached for his glasses and sat lazily up in bed. Things were getting so monotonous. Everyday, he woke up to Aunt Petuina's screaming, after which he would play the Invisible Man. He wouldn't even mind a Death- Eater's attack to break the boredom.
"Ding Dong" the doorbell rang.
"Vernon dearie, go get it. I am too busy making our sweetie-pie's breakfast," Aunt Petuina said.
Harry smirked to himself when he heard this. They never let him cook Dudley's breakfast after the Toffee Incident with the twins.
Uncle Vernon moved slowly towards the door and opened it.
"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ok, so maybe today might not be that boring after all.
"HARRY JAMES BLOODY POTTER!!!" Uncle Vernon bellowed.
Harry dashed down the stairs, fully awakened now. And there standing in the doorway, was the last person he had expected to see.
"SIRIUS!!!!!"
"Harry, I missed you so much."
"Do not attempt to step into my house you murderer! Hold on a second, I thought Potter told me you died." Vernon said puzzled.
"Yes I did."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Vernon ran out of the room screaming.
"Sirius, did you have to do that?" Harry asked.
"Yes I did."
"Thanks."
Uncle Vernon came back into the room holding a small black object.
"Come into my house will you? See how you take this!"
He pointed it right at Sirius, a malicious glint in his eyes. Sirius did not budge an inch. He stood his ground and said, "Just try you big fat lump of a muggle."
Vernon frowned, but dismissed it as foolish bravery. He aimed again and pulled the trigger. Harry who was frozen with fear looked at the two men. He looked at the bullet which seemed like it was traveling in slow motion.
"Move Sirius!" Harry screamed.
He did not budge. Looking death straight in the face. The glint in his eyes never wavered. As Harry thought it was too late, he tried to move but he seemed frozen.
Harry buried his face in his hands. He thought he would never see Sirius again after Bellatrix killed him. And now he was going to loose him all over again.
No, I am not going to let that idiot kill Sirius. No. Harry looked up. Flecks of gold were dancing in his vivid emerald green eyes. No, I am not going to give up like that. He reached out a hand towards the bullet and strands of golden shining thread wrapped around the bullet. They wrapped tightly around and crushed it into smithereens.
Vernon gaped at the boy. He had raised up his hand and the bullet had practically shattered. He could not see the strands as he was a muggle.
Sirius looked at the now trembling boy with concern. He strode over and put his arms around Harry.
"Its ok now Harry. I am safe. You are fine. I am here now, that's all that matters." Sirius said, soothing the terrified boy. Harry's last wall of self-control broke down, leaving a sobbing Harry in his arms.
Vernon was never a coward and he could say he was quite brave, But this was very different. Here he has a supposed dead mass murderer (or so he thought) and a boy who can dissolve bullets.
He ran to get his family and they ran out of the house. Leaving a tall gaunt man and a small sobbing boy.
"Sirius..... What happened?" Harry asked.
"I really don't know Harry. But all I know is that I am so happy to see you again." Sirius replied softly.
"And yea that too, why are u still alive?"
"That is a long story... Well, you know after I.... died. I was not happy at all, I wanted to be with you. Actually just saying "not happy" was a huge understatement. I went berserk in the realm of the dead. All the spirits fled when I started screaming. That was when your parents came."
"You saw mom and dad?"
"Yes I did. They told me that I was fated to die. Nevertheless, I was not really that happy. And than Fate came to see what the commotion was."
"FATE????"
"Yea, now I know what that saying truly means."
"What saying?"
"Fate's a bitch."
"Umm... Is it that wise to taunt the goddess of Death?"
"I am already dead. Besides, she likes making people scared of her. And you did not really need to stop the bullet you know. I am already dead, no one can kill me now."
"Really? Hey, that's cool."
"... Well, considering I had to die to achieve that. Well never mind. Anyway, I begged Fate until she gave up and let me come back to the land of the living. But there is still one condition."
"Uh oh, I don't like the sound of that."
"I knew you had good senses. If I want to stay in the land of the living for all the time I want, I will have to make sure Voldemort dies before the year has ended. Which gives us about... Lets say, 2 months."
Harry Potter looked at his guardian incredously and fainted into a nearby chair.
