CHAPTER TWO: Life's a b****

Sirius glared angrily at the twenty-nine occupants of the room,

all sharing the same shocked expression on their faces. He entered the

room, and, with a negligent wave of his hand, repaired the door.

Settling his eerily glowing blue eyes on the lone standing man at the

table, he gave Lupin a quick yet big grin before walking up to

Dumbledore. He stopped beside the HeadMaster's chair and glared icily

at the wizened HeadMaster while the aged Dumbledore slowly rose from

his seat at the head of the table. His ice-cold blue eyes met

Dumbledore's horrified blue eyes.

"Si- sirius?" Dumbledore managed to choke out.

"Good. I thought that you ugly gits might have forgotten about

me," snickered Sirius, a mischievious glint in his eyes.

Lupin weakly placed a hand on the back of his seat for support

and stammered out, "Ho- how did you su- survived the Veil? We thought

tha- that you died?"

Sirius let out a soft sigh and faced his friend. "I did, but I am

back now." He gave the werewolf a faint smile before regarding the

other people in the room seriously. "The Underworld is in a serious

disarray with Harry's disappearance, and, Snape, you better shut your

mouth if you are only going to say something nasty about Harry. The

administration people from the Underworld sent me back with two other

people to find Hary and keep him safe from Voldemort." Sirius turned to

Dumbledore and said, "I need your help to bring them inside."

"Very well, Sirius." Dumbledore nodded. With a wave of his hand,

a piece of paper appeared on the table which the HeadMaster handed to

Sirius.

"I'll be back." Sirius grinned at Lupin before heading out of the

room.

Lupin waited for the door to close before he turned to Dumbledore

with a worried expression on his face. "I could sense something

different in his aura."

"That is because Sirius is already dead."

"No, it is something else, something warm and comforting yet dark

and frightening at the same time."

"We do not have time to think about that, Remus," growled Moody.

"We have to think about what kind of people Sirius is bringing in."

"Oh. They are the kind of people you can trust with your life." A

musical voice spoke up as the door was opened.

Sirius Black grinned widely at the people staring wide-eyed at

his two companions, with Dumbledore nearly falling out from his chair

when he croaked out, "Lily? James?"

James chuckled softly, wrapping an arm around his Lily's

shoulder, as Sirius burst out laughing.

"Hello, Professor. We have come to find our son," James Potter

smiled.
