Harry awoke to not only odd sounds and smells but the room he was in was not his own. Sitting up, Harry looked around. The two small windows, one behind his head and the other on the right side of his bed, were open, but the shades were pulled down to only let a small amount of light into the room. He was lying on a small cot, about half the size of the adjacent bed.
Why was he here? The last thing he remembered was falling asleep in his own bed... but no, that isn't what he last remembered. He didn't fall asleep in his bed last night, but he sure didn't fall asleep here either. As he tried to remember what happened, a voice came from the other side of the door.
"Sirius, please, let me go and wake him up!" it was a girl's voice, but it didn't seem familiar.
"Alex will you let him rest? He's had a hard night." Now that was a familiar voice. The voice of his godfather, Sirius Black.
"Remmie, you have-"the girl began again.
"No Alex, I am with Sirius on this one. He needs rest." Came the voice of what Harry recognized as Professor Lupin.
"You two sound like Madam Pomfrey. Fine, I wont wake him up, and you don't get your present Remmie!" The girl said.
"Excuse me?" Lupin said.
"Your present'll be here in a few minutes, pass me my jumper and I'll go." The girl said, after a few minutes, Harry heard a door close. He got up, wanting to go into the other room and see Sirius now that the "Harry Potter" fan was gone. He hated people staring at his scar.
Walking into the next room, he was in plain view of the door that lead to the outside, which faced a beautiful lake, though the sun was reflecting on it so brightly that it was blinding. On his left was a small fireplace in between a small bed and a couch. On his right was what he guessed to be the kitchen table though it looked more like a card table with a tablecloth placed over it. The kitchen was in this same room. There was a door also to his right that must have lead to another room like the one of which he just came out.
"There you are Harry, good morning," Lupin said.
"Hi Professor Lupin." Harry said groggily. "What's the time?"
"Nearly eight thirty at night." Lupin said, "And Harry, please, I am no longer your professor, call me Remus."
"Sorry." Harry said.
"Well I'm glad to know you say hello to a werewolf before your godfather," said a voice behind Harry. He turned around to be face-to-face with Sirius Black. Lupin muttered something that Harry couldn't understand, but Sirius did, he responded with a sharp "Remus."
"Well you know, who would want to talk to a "mad murderer"?" Harry said, with a smile. Sirius smiled and embraced Harry.
"How are you?" Harry asked his father's best friend.
"Not too bad, though you nearly gave me a heart attack last night!" Sirius said.
"What?" Harry asked.
"Never mind, nothing to worry about." Sirius said.
"You know, that girl was right, you do sound a lot like Madame Pomfrey." Harry said.
"I'll tell you later, it isn't important right now." Sirius said.
"Right." Harry said, though he felt as if everyone was treating him like a child.
"You hungry?" Sirius asked.
"Hell yeah. I haven't had anything decent to eat all summer." Harry said. "Dudley's still on his diet."
"I cant believe any of the Dursleys are related to your mum Harry." Remus said.
"Tell me about it." Harry said, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Remus asked.
"Santa Claus." The girl Harry heard earlier said.
"Okay, Harry this is Alex. She knew you when you were a baby and is absolutely obsessed with you. So don't be scared." Sirius said.
But the fact that Sirius had to warn him already worried Harry.
"Padfoot you gonna open this door or do I have to crawl through the window with Remmie's presents?" The girl said.
Sirius went to the door and opened it. The girl that stood there looked remarkably like Harry's mother Lily.
"Harry!" The girl, Alex, shouted, she ran over to Harry and hugged him tightly, Harry nearly topped over but was able to regain his balance.
"My god..." Remus said. Harry looked up and saw two girls at the doorway who looked the same age and looked like sisters, but weren't identical.
"Kerianne and Stelliana Lupin." Alex said. "C'mon Harry, lets go leave the Lupins to their reunion. Follow us Sirius."
Alex, Sirius and Harry left the small house, and headed down to the lake.
"Do you remember this place at all Harry?" Sirius asked
"No..." Harry said sadly. "sorry."
"You've got nothing to be sorry about Harry." Sirius said, looking across the lake, a tear falling down his face.
