6) Life And Soul Of Everything

He arrived at number 4 and gasped. He could see his dead uncle and cousin but his aunt was still alive. But she was being tortured and Harry knew if he didn't act soon he would be too late.

Everybody jumped up when Harry disappeared.

'Albus- where's he gone?' Lily yelled looking round. Instead of answering he reached in his pocket for his mirror.

'Arabella?' he asked at the face that was already waiting for him.

'Death eaters- here to try and find out what he's done to you-know-who. Harry's here- he's fighting them all. Oh quick.' The witch said as he quickly left.

'Everybody- #4 now.' Albus added as he walked to the nearest fire. He arrived at Mrs. Figs and ran out of the door. He stopped suddenly and swore. There were thirty death eaters still standing. But harry had stunned over twenty so far. He grabbed the door and stopped the adults from going out.

'This is there fight.' He said letting his five friends out. 'We have to let them. I'm sorry- but they need to show that they are united for the bond to work.' He received glares all round but they nodded stiffly. He was right and they knew it. Lilly burst into tears and was immediately grabbed by her three friends for support.

'Hey guys- wondered when you'd show up. What do you reckon to my handy work?' he said gesturing to the stunned death eaters.

'Being a bit slow today aren't you? Come on guys- we better help I suppose.' Ron said grinning. Then working together in a way nobody could have believed possible the remaining death eaters were stunned and unconscious. They used an anti apparition bind on each of them and smiled. That was a job well done. He saw his aunt lead some way off and ran over to her.

'Aunt Petunia?' he asked fearfully. He hadn't realized until now how much he loved her. She began to stir and Harry sighed. Helping her sit he looked at her begging her to recognize him so that he knew he hadn't been to late. But from the vacant look that was in her eyes he knew that she had no idea who he was- or who she was. He hugged her and then magiced her a stretcher hoping it was short term. He used the sleeping spell and then levitated her lightly onto the bed.

His friends looked on quietly, knowing that he wouldn't want them to intrude. The adults walked out quietly, looking at the scene in shock and horror. They walked towards the group of five friends and stopped suddenly when they saw Harry magically healing his aunt as best as he could. Nobody moved just stood there watching as the tears fell silently down there cheeks. He stood suddenly and turned to face them.

'Lightning?' he called sharply. With a sharp pop his phoenix appeared in front of him and settled on his shoulder. 'What the hell happened? How did they break my wards? And what were you doing whilst all this was going on might I add? I told you to keep an eye on them and come straight back to me if any sign of trouble started.' He said through gritted teeth.

The phoenix hung his head and to everyone's amazement replied in a voice that they could all understand.

'I am so sorry- I was returning from Toms. He was very angry- something about orders being disobeyed- he told me to go and check on #4 and that I was to go straight to you if anything happened. He said they thought that you had tricked him into returning your parents and Sirius. He is extremely angry.' He added again and proceeded to fly towards his aunt. The wounds that Harry hadn't been able to heal he did, and to everybody's amazement he also dropped tears into her mouth. Then he settled once again on Harry's shoulder.

'TOM RIDDLE. I WANT TO SEE YOU RIGHT THIS SECOND.' He yelled into the thin air and to everybody's horror there was a crack and Tom stepped out in front of him. The wands were pointing straight at him but he however smiled and turned to Harry.

'You bastard.' Harry spat, his anger rising.

'Oh for gods sake Harry- you think that I would of? After the pact we made? I don't think so and neither do you. These are all traitoring bastards. And I can tell you straight away I had nothing to do with it. As soon as I suspected something I sent Lightning back.' He said pacing in front of Harry. Everybody could see how angry he was. He stopped and turned to the Potters and Sirius. 'Oh I'm glad it worked.' He added before once again facing Harry.

'I owe you now don't I? Just when we were bloody even. For gods sake. What is it that you want?' He asked. Harry smiled.

'That's easy- I want you to refrain from attacking the Grangers and the Weasley's this year. And the Longbottoms and Luna's family.'

'Jesus Harry- you don't ask for much do you? Very well.' And they all watched as he cut his hand with his wand and let the blood drip onto the floor. Harry did the same.

'BY THE POWER OF THE BOND WE SHALL KEEP TRUE TO OUR PROMISE.' They said together. Tom smiled at him and Harry returned it.

'Well, see you soon everybody.' He said and before they could answer he had gone. Harry sighed, he never felt very good when he did that. Before he could do anything he had collapsed.

Harry couldn't understand why he couldn't move. He slowly opened his eyes and closed them again as the light caused him to yelp in surprise. The sudden movement around him caught his attention and he slowly opened them again.

He could make out at least 10 faces peering back at him. He smiled weakly and sat up helped by somebody. He felt his glasses being put on his face and saw everything come into focus. What he saw didn't make him feel any better, all the faces looked not only worried but angry.

'How long have I been out of it?' He asked hoping he could steer them off the telling off he was about to get.

'Three weeks. We thought you were going to die.' His dad said gently, and to Harry's relief he saw all of their faces softening.

'How's my aunt?' He asked suddenly and saw the smiles widen.

'She's fine- the phoenix tears that she drank healed her from the inside as well. So she'll be fine.' His mum soothed. He smiled gently at her and almost passed out when she grabbed him into the tightest hug he had ever felt.

'Are you going to ask me now then? I can tell that you're all desperate to yell at me. Oh- how's Remus?' He asked suddenly realizing that his friend wasn't there. They smiled even more at this and stepped away from the bed. Harry smiled as he saw Remus walk towards him. Tears in his eyes. Harry couldn't help but be surprised- gone was the gray hair, an in it's place was thick brown hair. His eyes were bright and he had filled out considerably.

'I don't know what to say.' He said quietly.

'Don't say anything then- lets call it payment for teaching me how to do my patronus- after all without you I would be without a soul right now.' He said smiling. Remus nodded and sat back down.

'Right Harry.' Sirius stated standing up. 'What the bloody hell were you playing at?' He said through gritted teeth. Harry had never seen him look so angry.

'Maybe I should explain?' He said quietly looking at his sheets.

'Damn right you should.' His dad said.

'Well you all know the prophecy- it said that I had powers the dark lord knows not. Well I had to try and learn what these powers were. I was given a book last year by Hermione about ancient magic, using that I learned how when two wizards are joined they have a bond that will never be broken except by one's death. It told me that when trying to find your hidden powers you must cement the bond with that wizard and the powers would be granted. So he came to my house, as Tom- he always comes as Tom when he comes to see me. Then we shared blood and the bond was forged. He doesn't know why we had to do it- I just told him that for us to be able to fight we had to do it. And it worked, my reflexes are unrivaled. My spell work has improved ten times over, but most importantly than that- I learned how to love. That's my secret weapon. Being able to prove that even though terrible things are going to happen- I can still show love. Show the world that as long as I'm alive then they can hope. That as long as I'm alive- I will lead the light to victory.' He watched as the words sunk in and smiled. He knew they wouldn't have the heart to tell him off now.

'Oh no you don't Harry Potter.' Came Ginny's voice. 'Don't think that just because you gave some heroic speech your out of trouble.' Harry visibly jumped under her watchful stare and everyone saw him blush. Ginny grinned- she was right.

'All right. All right. You want the truth? I had to make a pact with him- returning my parents was easy. Remus wasn't. I made a pact that I don't think you want to know about.' He replied and he saw Remus visibly pale. Thinking he had caused this, Harry gave him a weak smile and seeing all the angry glares he decided he had better tell them. 'I gave him half of my soul.' He stated simply.
