Something blurred came flying at Harry and it wasn't until the blurred
object got close enough that Harry recognized Sirius. He was pale in the
face and appeared to still be unconscious due to the stunning spell that
Bellatrix had hit him with.
"We need to get you out of here right away", Harry said. "Finite"
As Harry spoke the words out loud that would pull him out of the veil, Sirius stirred. His head rolled from one side to the other and then he slowly opened his eyes.
"Where am I?" Sirius asked
"Behind a veil, but there is no time to explain now." Harry replied. "Finite"
Nothing happened.
"Finite"
"Finite"
"Finite"
"Finite"
But no matter how many times Harry repeated the spell, he still couldn't get out of the veil. And to top that off, he and Sirius were slowly drifting away from the curtain.
"DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE! GET US OUT OF HERE. THE SPELL ISN'T WORKING. DUMBLEDORE! DUMBLEDORE!" Harry screamed at the top of his lungs. But Dumbledore, who was on the other side of the veil couldn't hear them because they had drifted too far from the entrance.
A half hour later, Harry and Sirius had drifted so far from the veil that they couldn't be seen from the entrance. Dumbledore, who had become increasingly more worried every minute after Harry had entered the veil, decided to head in and see what was going wrong.
Dumbledore charmed himself and jumped into the veil. Harry and Sirius were nowhere in sight.
"Oh no! The charm I placed on Harry must not have worked!" Dumbledore thought aloud. Then he had the same idea that Harry had had earlier. "Accio Harry Potter and Sirius Black."
Two blurred figures raced toward Albus. When they got close enough, Dumbledore could recognize them. Albus took Harry's free hand because the other one was holding hands with Sirius so that he and Sirius wouldn't be separated again, and said "Finite".
The two men and the teenage boy found themselves racing out of the veil at speeds over 80 miles per hour. Once they got to the veil, they were thrust out of it and landed hard on the platform.
"Oww!" Harry said.
"Harry!" Sirius exclaimed
"I missed you Sirius!"
Harry and Sirius then embraced in a tight hug. Neither of them wanted to break the moment. Finally, Dumbledore spoke.
"I don't know if you remember Harry, but we have your parents, Lily and James, to rescue. Now, let me just conjure up their bodies."
As Dumbledore spoke, two limp bodies appeared lying on the plat form.
"Now, Harry. You must stand on the platform and say "Accio spirit of James Potter" and then "Accio spirit of Lily Potter". Two things are vital in this process. One is that you do it. The person who calls a spirit out of the veil must be blood related to the spirit, and be able to perform Wandless Magic. The other is that you call the spirit who has been dead the longest out first. That is why you must bring back your father first. Once you have the spirits of your parents, just tell them to go back into their bodies. Good luck."
Harry, who had suffered sixteen years without parents couldn't believe that he would have them within minutes. This is why he scrambled up onto the platform as quick as he could.
Harry turned to face the veil.
"Accio spirit of James Potter!" Harry yelled.
A silvery orb- like substance glided out of the veil and stopped on the tip of Harry's finger
"Go to Your Body!" Harry directed the orb.
The orb detached itself from Harry's finger and entered the body of James Potter.
Harry watched as his father's eyes slowly opened and his father became alive again.
"Dad?", Harry asked.
"Harry!", James exclaimed. "I am so glad to be back. Wait, where's Lily?"
"Uh, Dad. Um... I didn't do her yet. Give me a second." Harry replied, pointing to Lily's limp body.
He turned to face the veil once more.
"Accio spirit of Lily potter," He yelled.
Another silvery orb glided out of the curtain and attached itself to the tip of Harry's finger.
"Go to your body", Harry directed it.
The orb then glided over to Lily's body and entered it. Harry watched as his mother came back to life.
"James? Harry?" Lily said.
"Here." James replied
"Here" Harry repeated.
"Uh, dad. Did you see Sirius?" Harry asked James.
"Sirius? Where?"
"Back here you old fool!" Sirius exclaimed.
James turned around and saw Sirius.
"God, how long has it been James?" Sirius asked.
"Long. Too long. What have you been up to while I was "dead"?"
"Well, first I went to Azkaban for..."
While Sirius and James chatted, Harry turned to his mom.
"Mom?"
"Yes, Harry?"
"I hate your sister."
Lily burst out laughing.
"Petunia? Gosh, she was so jealous of me when I got accepted to Hogwarts. You were living with them?"
"Yeah, I hated it."
"Did they treat you bad? Oh, I am so sorry Harry!"
"It's not your fault. You haven't exactly had a great life for the past fifteen years eith..."
Harry was cut short by a loud "Ahem" from Dumbledore.
"This isn't really the best place to chat. We'd better get out of the Department of Mysteries before an Unspeakable comes down here. Follow me."
"We're in the Department of Mysteries?" asked Lily and James at the same time.
"Yes", replied Dumbledore.
"Wow! I always wondered what was down here!" exclaimed James.
"Come on!"
Dumbledore led them out into the circular room and into the main hallway. All five of them hopped on the lift to go back upstairs. There was no one on the lift this time, so they went directly up to the atrium. They clambered out of the lift and went to the front desk to ask for a portkey back to Hogwarts.
It was Dumbledore who asked.
"Can we please have a portkey to Hogwarts?"
"Sure. Here you are."
A short witch with brown hair brought out a boot from under the counter and said "Portus" and handed the boot to Dumbledore who then said:
"Grab on everyone!"
Everyone took hold of the boot, and in a flash of blinding white light, they were all back in Dumbledore's Office.
A/N: I am soooooo sorry. I got caught up in all of my schoolwork and forgot about this. To all of my reviewers: Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! I don't know where I'd be without you! I promise to update more frequently. I hoped you liked this chapter.
