Ch. 10 James S. White

"If a building gets torched, all that is left is ashes. I used to think that was true about everything; families, friends, feelings. But now I now that if love proves real, two people were meant to be together, nothing can keep them apart." –Sarah 'The Crow'

Harry tumbled out of the fireplace and into the living room floor of number twelve Grimmauld Place. Standing and dusting himself off he looked around at the faces of a few order members, most he knew and others he had never seen before in his life. Among these faces was someone familiar. Someone who looked just like his godfather with a long thin and much worn face from the years he spent in Azkaban.

The Weasley's were all smiling at him warmly as was Tonks and Kingsley. He smiled back at them. Something fell and caused him to jump slightly.

"Would you come here?" Harry heard Anya say urgently as the familiar face was pulled into a chair behind Mrs. Weasley.

"No, because you're going to stick me again," he protested.

"Well, cry me a river, build me a bridge and get the hell over it!" Anya snapped sticking a long needle into his face. "Savvy?"

"Do you enjoy torturing me?" he asked his face changing as he spoke. Harry smirked slightly as Malfoy nudged him slightly.

"No, but I have to make you look like an innocent man somehow now don't I?" Anya said smiling. "Now you are free to go."

The small crowd turned to look at the man who was no longer recognizable from when Harry had arrived. He still had a long face, but there seemed to be a little more weight on it and his eyes had turned hazel instead of the dark eyes he had.

"Who is the newest member?" Harry asked.

"Sirius Black," Anya replied, "but I changed a few things about him. He looks more like the man I created. James White."

The man that Anya was claiming to be Sirius Black stepped forward to get a closer look at Harry. For a second Harry couldn't believe what he was seeing nor would he believe what he saw. Reaching beneath his robes he pinched himself feeling a sudden sensation of pain.

What he saw before him was not a dream, it was real. Everyone who stood around them seemed to disappear and all that remained was an innocent man who had been imprisoned without trial and a boy who survived Lord Voldemort's attacks.

"Sirius?" he said. "How?"

"I don't know, but all I know is now I have a second chance," Sirius said. "My name has been changed and I'm a free man now."

"It's about time," Harry said. "So what was that name again?"

"Well it could be dad if you wanted it to be," he said, "I can legally adopt you as my son."

For the first time in just a few short minutes Harry noticed a few of the new faces among the people for the first time. One of them looked a great deal like Anya.

"This is Madeleine White, she is an adoption agent," Anya said nodding towards Hermione who pulled an envelope of parchment from the inside of her robes. "We pulled a few strings."

Madeleine took the envelope from Hermione and cut it open. Her red hair fell over her face as she read.

"Everything is in order," she said in a southern American accent. "All we need is a signature."

Harry felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned he saw Lupin smiling at him.

"It's up to you," he said.

"Would it really be legal?" he asked.

"Yes," Madeleine answered.

"And Sirius wouldn't have to worry about me being taken away?"

"Correct," Anya said. "It is permanent; you wouldn't have to go back to your aunt and uncle ever again."

Harry's thoughts carried him back to his third year when he had first met Sirius for the first time. Thinking of what Sirius had said three years before he felt just as liberated as he had when Sirius had offered that day.

"Where do we sign?" he asked. "And when do we have to go to court?"

"Here," Madeleine said handing Sirius the parchment. "Be sure to sign it as James White and as for the answer to the other question, everything has been settled out of court."

Sirius finished signing the pages and looked up at Madeleine who was smiling.

"Now you're not really my daughter are you?" he asked.

"No, I'm just Annie's little sister," she said taking the signed parchment from Sirius to check every signature. "Well that seems to be it, congratulations Mr. White, I hope you enjoy your sons company. I'll be in touch."

Anya smiled as Madeleine exited the room pulling her robes around her shoulders.

Harry was free from the thought of ever having to go back to the Dursley's ever again. He looked at his new father and knew from this point on they could be happy. Sirius glanced at Harry for the first time as his son.

"How many strings did you pull?" Lupin asked Anya.

"A few hundred," she replied thoughtfully, "Maddy is the tough one to convince. She didn't want to draw up any of those papers. Severus was a pain to convince because well lets face it he hates you. Kyran was probably the easiest cause well, it's my little brother and he owes me."

"Did you ever give Snape his payment?" Lupin asked curiously.

"No, he gave me mine," Anya smiled. "Well I have to go now. Harry would you escort me out?"

Harry nodded and rushed to the door where Anya was standing. They walked until they were out of the earshot of everyone else.

"How did you do it?" he asked.

"Do what?" she asked.

"Change his appearance, his name, everything," Harry stopped when he saw that Anya had stopped.

"Severus Snape created a potion that is just like the Polyjuice, but it's permanent. My little brother Kyran changed his name," she said. "Simple, but tricky, not to mention a dirty trick. It took the entire time you were at Hogwarts to pull it all off."

Harry nodded and the two continued to the front doors.

"Are you going to move on?" he asked.

"I'll be back, I have a couple of family members to convince into the Order," she said. "I have a fiancé to come back to as well as a new career and a new life."

Smiling Harry stopped at the door looking at his new sister. Because of her he had a father. Now he felt in debt of her. There was just one question that he had for her.

"Your fiancé wouldn't be Snape would it?" Anya started to laugh.

"No," she said, "he's married to an enemy of mine. They have a baby together who's about seven or eight now."

Harry nearly gagged at the thought of Snape being married at all. He didn't even want to think of a baby in that picture.

"Do you really have to leave?"

"For now, I'll come see you when I can," she assured kissing his forehead. "Oh, by the way I think Ginny Weasley fancies you. Just be careful, I've got three brothers and seven surrogate brothers that couldn't take on Ginny's five brothers."

"I'll keep that in mind," he said. "I'll see you then?"

"Yeah, maybe then I'll have someone with me you'd like to meet," she said opening the door. "Bye."

For a minute Harry watched as Anya left. Now he had a sister to look up to, not that it had really mattered. There was still the possibility that Sirius didn't know that she was his. Then he remembered the question of whether Madeleine was his which meant that Sirius had to know that Anya was his.

:Later that night:

Harry turned over his bed and looked at the black wall thinking of his family. Naturally there was still the dark secrets, but it was a proper family. Not only did he have his adoptive family, but he had his share of brothers from the Weasley family.

"Ron?" he asked into the dark.

"What?" Ron mumbled from the darkness.

"What do you think about me asking Ginny out on date?"

"Break her heart, we'll break your body," he replied.

"Wouldn't dream of it," Harry said quietly.

His entire life had changed completely in just a few weeks. Two of his best friends had nearly died and had discovered that it was all the cause of a ghost. All in a day he also found that Sirius was alive and created to be an innocent man thanks to Snape and Anya's brother. Now there was something in the back of Harry's mind that made him so happy no dementor could steal the thought.

He drifted off into happy dreams where his family surrounded him.

(TBC)

Confusing? I honestly thought that it was self explanatory, but if you have any questions enclose them in a review. Just one more chapter now. I hope you all like this chapter.

Flames will be added to the fireplace I have built, constructive critism is welcomed just not with open arms, and good reviews will be praised beyond belief.

Forever
