Chapter Three: 12 Grimwauld Place
AN: thanks to Sarah, Red Roses2 –chan for reviewing.
The next morning was Saturday, Harry opened his eyes and looking into the light blue eyes and smiling face of Dumbledore. "Well good morning Harry, today's a big day you will be going to live with Sirius your godfather." Harry smiled broadly, "Padfoot". Dumbledore smiled "yes, Padfoot." So after breakfast Dumbledore carried Harry up to his office. "Fawks do you mind taking Harry and me to 12 Grimwauld Place, Sirius house." Dumbledore asked politely. Fawks nodded and Dumbledore held on to one of Fawk's tail feathers and with a whirlwind of flames they had disappeared, and appeared in the entrance hall of 12 Grimwauld Place. Harry started screaming immediately because of a horrible screeching noise coming from a painting hanging on the near by wall. Sirius rushed in the hallway and guided them down the stairs to the kitchen. When they were out of ear shot Sirius said. "That will have to be the first thing we get rid of." Dumbledore shook his head in agreement. The minute he was in the kitchen though he headed straight over to a basinet sitting on the end of the table. Looking up at Molly. "You look wonderful, Molly." He said, "My I hold her." He added point to the beautiful baby girl in the basinet. "Of coarse you can Albus." Molly said with a wide smile. As Dumbledore picked up the tiny little bundle he asked. "Who else has arrived?" "Hagrid and Pomona are out in the garden. Arthur and Remus is up stairs in the drawing room there's a Bogart in the display cabinet. The kids are in the upstairs bedrooms more mucking around then cleaning. Filius's in Harry new room sprucing it up. Minerva is out grabbing some things from Diagon Ally to help us along. And at this rate we will be finished tomorrow night for sure." "Molly," Dumbledore started, "I thank you so much for doing this and at this time too, I kind of wished I hadn't asked when Arthur told me you had gone to the hospital." "Oh, Albus never mind I don't mind in the least and these lot need some organization, Sirius hadn't even thought of schooling for poor Harry." Dumbledore smiled, "I guess he has a lot to learn about parenting." "I'll try and help where I can." Said Molly. After a short pause and Dumbledore had put sleeping Ginny back in her basinet. "So what can I do to help?" smiled the willing headmaster. "Well you and Sirius can start to try and get rid of Mrs. Black's portrait." Said Molly. "Oh Molly have you seen Kreature I haven't been able to find him?" asked Sirius. "I think he is up with the kids. Fred and George have been annoying him." Said Molly. "Nothing he doesn't deserve." Muttered Sirius as he followed Dumbledore out of the kitchen. After trying every spell that Dumbledore could think off they decided that maybe it was going to required a less magical solution. Just then Molly called them all for lunch. When they got down there, Sirius's cousin Andromeda was sitting in the kitchen with Molly. "When did you get here?" asked Sirius. "Just flooed in." said Andromeda. "Ted is coming with Nymphadora in awhile." "Oh splendid." Said Dumbledore. "We needed a less then magical solution and Ted would be great to help with the problem upstairs." "Oh you mean Auntie, yes that would be a good idea." Said Andromeda as she spotted Harry coming through the door with Ron. "Ah so this is my new nephew." She paused. "God nephew. Um Harry." "Well if he is like my son and you're like my sister, then you're like his aunt. That isn't too confusing is it?" Said Sirius. "That sound like a plan. But if you're his auntie that would make me his uncle." Said Remus. "Uncle Mooney." Said Harry wrapping his little arms around Remus's leg. Remus lifted him up and hugged him then put him in a chair and they all sat around eating and talking. Just as they finished eating a whooshing sound come from the fireplace and a small girl with purple hair appeared, she moved quickly out of the way as a man followed. Andromeda got up and hugged her daughter, and then kissed her husband, she turned to everyone. "Lets see, I think you know everyone but little Harry and the lovely baby is Ginny the latest Weasley." "And last." Laughed Arthur as 'hi's', hello's and how are you?' when circulating around the room. "So now you're here, we need your help." Said Sirius. "My help!" exclaimed Ted. "But you know I'm not magical." "Exactly." Said Dumbledore, "we need to move the painting from the entrance hall and we have done every magical thing we can think of, so we thought that a non-magical solution is needed." "Then in that case I'm your man." Said Ted. So all the men got up from the table and headed up stairs. Just as they reached the landing there was any all un earthly howl from Mrs. Black as the doorbell rung. It was McGonagall returning from Diagon Ally. "The ladies are all down stairs Minerva." Said Arthur as Dumbledore hit the painting with another cheering charm. It's didn't last long but it was long enough for McGonagall to get passed. "Well the only thing that will help that I can see is if you can't get the painting off the wall, take the wall with it." Said Ted. "No wonder we couldn't think off a way, it's very Muggle." Said Sirius. "Well you can do it with spells, a sawing charm would cut the wall around it. And that would be quieter then sledge hammers." Said Ted. "Then I could rebuild it for you. And you could hide Mrs. Black in the attic or the cellar." With these words she started screaming again. "Blood traitor. Wreak my house." Shouted Mrs. Black. "Well mother, you can either get off that wall quietly or we'll take you down and burn you." Said Sirius with a sinister evil grin. "Never you wont take me alive." Said Mrs. Black. "Fine." He drew out his wand. "Circumcido." His wand shot out a pink trail of light; he ran it around the painting. His mother screaming all the while. 'Don't. Stop. You're my son please don'ttt." She said as the painting fell face forward on the floor. "Done." Said Sirius. "Where would you like to be put mother?" he asked as he lifted her painting off the floor. "Back on my wall." She shrieked. "The cellar it is." said Sirius picking up the painting and walking off down stairs. "Ted tell us what you need and we will get it so you can start." Said Dumbledore.
Dumbledore had magiced the thing Ted needed for the wall. The women appeared in the hallway all happy that the old hag was gone. They all pair off to rid the house of all the dark magic trinkets and items. They worked tirelessly till dinnertime. Tonks was helping Molly but she was a right klutz about it, so Molly sent her, Bill and Charlie to call everyone for tea. After they had all assembled and sat down, Sirius noticed Harry was missing. He jumped to his feet and started panicking. "Where is Harry? Has anyone seen Harry? OMG I lost Harry." "Calm down Sirius he is here somewhere, a one year old could not just disappear." Said Molly. "Everyone fan out and find Harry." Said Dumbledore in his annoyingly calm tone. Everyone stormed out of the kitchen and squeezed up the staircase. After about ten minutes Dumbledore stood silently, in the doorway of Mrs. Blacks bedroom watching something curiously. He heard a noise at the other end of the hall. And hastened Sirius to come and look. Sirius stuck his head around the door to see what Dumbledore was so interested in. it was Harry and Kreature having a tea party with the fine china and silverware the one marked with the blacks family crest, that Sirius tried to throw out that day. Sirius sighed. Harry was safe for now.
