Hermione and Draco walked into the kitchen where the Order was
holding a meeting.
They all looked at them in surprise. They were both grinning madly and this was pretty awkward for the Order since they were having a very serious discussion.
"Um, Hermione, are you alright?" asked Tonks
"Oh, I'm fine" she said and smiled again
"Is something wrong then?" asked Mr. Weasley
"Oh, no sir. Actually, everything is better than alright." Hermione couldn't help but start laughing.
Just then she thought she saw Dumbledore start smiling as well.
But it was Moody who got up.
"Is it true?"
Hermione remembering Moody's magical eye stopped laughing just enough to nod her head.
"What is going on?" asked Lupin
"Well, just see for yourself."
Harry walked in with Sirius and Ginny and everyone stopped. There was no noise, no attempt for noise at all.
Everyone was just staring at Sirius and Harry. Harry was still clutching on to Sirius for dear life. So afraid that he might lose him again.
"What is the meaning of this sick joke?" asked Severus
"Oh, I assure you this is no joke." Replied Sirius coolly.
"Oh my, I thought I'd lost you for good there." said Lupin as he walked over to Sirius to give his long time friend a hug.
"I knew I'd be back. I've got Harry here looking out for me." Said Sirius as he patted Harry on the back. That was all he could get to since Harry was still holding on to Sirius.
Sirius gave a light laugh "Harry, I'm not going anywhere. You can let go and I'll still be here."
"NO!" said Harry
"Come on Harry, its okay. I promise I wont go anywhere this time."
"But what if you dissapear?"
"I wont Harry, its okay for you to let me go. It'll be okay."
Slowly and cautiously Harry released Sirius.
"My Harry, you've grown so much in a year!"
Harry smiled at him and gave his godfather another hug to make sure he was really there.
"I thought you were gone."
"Harry, I know, but I knew you would bring me back." Said Sirius patting Harry on the top of his head.
"It's nice to have you around again Sirius." Said Mr. Weasley as he gave Sirius a pat on the back.
Severus was the only one who stayed seated with his arms crossed. Everyone had gotten up, including Dumbledore, and either gave Sirius a hug or a pat on the back.
"Harry was worried sick over you." Exclaimed Tonks
"No I wasn't!"
Sirius gave a slight chuckle and held my shoulders once again.
"Well, Sirius, now I think you know what we can do don't you?" said Dumbledore
"Sirius raised an eyebrow "No, I'm not sure I follow."
"Show me your arm then."
Sirius pulled up his sleves and showed his bare arms with no marks what so ever.
"That is what I am talking about Sirius." Said Dumbledore
"I still don't follow" said Sirius
"You are not a death eater. You never were therefore, that clears you of all charges now that Voldemort is back."
A few members of the Order still shuddered at his name. Harry noticed the only ones who didn't shudder were Dumbledore, himself, Hermione, Draco, Sirius, and Lupin.
Moody made it clear that he was quite uncomfortable about saying his name. Harry knew Moody was an incredibly strong Auror but he couldn't imagine Moody ever being afraid of anything. Moody was one of the most fearless wizards Harry ever met.
After they all welcomed Sirius back to the Order and checked him over to make sure he was real they sat down to carry on with their meeting once more. But Hermione had something to say.
"Uh, theres something else."
Everyone turned to Hermione. No one rally objected to Hermione since most people were so happy of Sirius's return.
She looked at Draco and Draco nodded.
"Draco has decided that he will share with you what he has been going through. And he really wants a way to solve the problem he's been going through, that is if you'll help him with it."
Harry and Ginny made a leave for the room. They knew it was hard enough for Draco to have explained it once to them. They didn't need to hear it again.
Draco looked at Dumbledore and Dumbledore gave him a smile and a nod. Draco started to explain once again what he had been going through for the past eight months.
They all looked at them in surprise. They were both grinning madly and this was pretty awkward for the Order since they were having a very serious discussion.
