Chapter 2

Harry Into: Welcome Home

The scenery outside the billowing curtains was a continuous reminder that summer was in full swing, there was green as far as the eye could see in Surrey that morning, only interrupted by the buildings in the neighborhood. The summer seamed to be starting off with a bang as the relentless heat parched the air that served as a summer breeze. All the windows were open at 4 Privet Drive and a flash of emerald green reflected out of an upstairs window as the sun rose into the sky. The wizarding world's hero was contemplating his last moments at said house.

He was finally allowed to live with Sirius Black, his Godfather and Father's best friend. After the war, the animagus was pardoned of all crimes and declared innocent. The Ministry had released all of Sirius' holdings and accounts and granted full custody of his godson. Harry had had to return to the Dursley's for the first week so Sirius could get everything situated and the house cleaned out, for it had been closed up during his 12-year stay in prison and during the 3-year war. With the help of Remus Lupin, who Sirius had asked to stay with Harry and him, Sirius planned on making a wonderful home for Harry.

Harry considered Remus as a second Godfather, for he also happened to have been his father's other good friend as well. During the war they had grown closer often times the three of them would just sit around and talk, reminiscing about the past and just basking in the comradery of their relationship. The Gryffindor was really glad that the werewolf would also be living with them and Harry was enjoying the prospect of being able to finally have some sort of family and be able to live in a loving home.

He really couldn't believe he was finally leaving. Even though he really wasn't feeling all that enthusiastic about changing again but like everything else in his life the change was inevitable. Oh don't get him wrong, he was glad to be leaving his "family", and hopefully he would never set eyes on the despicable muggles ever again, but nostalgia was hitting him hard. Very few things in his life were constant, and Harry Potter, The-Boy-Who-Lived, craved consistency. Especially after the last three tumultuous years of war, were everything happened so fast around him, all of which he had no control over. So anything that was reliable was often welcome into his life and however bad life with the Dursleys was, it was anything but irregular. At summer break he'd go to the Dursleys, do his chores, go to his room, mind his business, and wait for the next day and start all over again until the last week of vacation when he was allowed to visit the Weasleys. The monotonous routine had been soothing to his soul during the war. Especially now when the entire world was celebrating and constantly "thanking" him for destroying Voldemort Harry regarded consistency and privacy very highly.

All the accolades he received regarding his role in the final battle was wearing him thin. After two years of minor battles all across England at which all the major wizarding strongholds were hit, there were times when the Side of the Light started to despair, for the damage was beginning cause the people to loose faith. The Ministry and the new Minister of Magic, Author Weasley, who was appointed when Fudge was killed in an attack during Harry's fifth year (guess he believed Harry then huh?), decided to pour more resources into research on ways to destroy Voldemort for good.

Not much was found until Christmas break, during his sixth year, Dumbledore had had the top students help with the research. When they started going through ancient African manuscripts they found a spell that the ancient Nubians wrote that could capture Voldemort's soul. Through channeling power from 5 powerful wizards (or witches) into one other extremely powerful person, who would serve as a conductor, and chanting the spell Voldemort's soul would get sucked into a crystal thereby trapping him for eternity. It had worked and the crystal was locked in a high security vault miles underground on Azkaban Island. Harry had served as the conductor and Voldemort had been defeated.

Although glad that it was over, Harry now felt useless and hadn't any notion as to what to do with his life and really cherished any and all situations that were relatively normal in his life, having had so little thus far. While a prison-I mean home- 4 Privet Drive had been a major part of his life even if the good memories associated with the place were very few and even father between, it had still been somewhat of a home. Although Hogwarts was up until now his true home and he was looking forward to beginning his seventh and last term, particularly now that the threat of Voldemort no longer would be hanging over his head.

"Boy!"

"BOY!" a voice bellowed from down stairs breaking Harry away from his musings.

"At least I don't have to listen to that ever again," Harry said to himself as he lifted himself off of the ledge of the window. Looking around the bare room one last time, Harry let out a breath and bent down to grab his trunk and backpack, which he had packed the night before with everything he owned, and empty owl cage. Harry had sent Hedwig off to Ron's letting him no he would be at Sirius for remainder of the summer. Pulling on his backpack and tying the handle of the owl cage to the handle of the trunk with a bit of twine, Harry retrieved his wand from on top of the bed and placed it in the back pocket of his jeans.

Dragging the trunk behind him Harry crossed the threshold of the room into the hallway. Just about to start down the stairs when Dudley "the whale" pushed him roughly aside and lumbered heavily down the stairs snorting with laughter. Shaking his head, Harry let the nostalgia that he had entertained in his room slip. 'Man, I'm glad to leave this place', he thought to himself as he make his way down the stairs, his trunk thumping along behind him.

At the bottom of the stairs Harry's Uncle met him with a stern glare, "You'll be waiting outside, I don't want that rubbish you call a Godfather traipsing through my home." With that he turned and waddled back into the kitchen were Harry could hear his relatives loudly going about their business, totally ignoring the fact that another person was even in the house. Walking towards the door Harry glanced back over his shoulder to the cupboard that had served as his only solace from the oppressiveness of the house for the first 10 years of his life. With a shudder at the remembrance of the memories the young wizard proceed to the door.

Grasping the handle, Harry pushed open the door. "Carpe Diem," he said to himself and stepped out into the morning with his luggage in tow. Closing the door, a breeze caught a few strands of hair that had fallen loose from the rubberband at the nape of his neck. The chin length raven locks flew about his face as Harry grasped his trunk more tightly and proceeded to walk down the walkway towards the side of the house. Laying his trunk down in the grass he sat down on the edge and looked at his watch. "8:53, seven minutes until Sirius gets here," Harry said to no one in particular. .

The young hero made a serene picture sitting there atop of the trunk with the light breeze whipping his hair around his face catching slightly on his infamous frames that sat upon his nose. Although 16, Harry still retained the same innocence like that of a cherub, newly fallen from heaven, in his features even with his bone structure becoming more defined with age. Only his eyes, the emerald green that was the legacy of his mother, told the story of innocence long gone. Only his eyes conveyed that this man-child had seen more than his fair share of the horrors that humans were capable of, they told of an evil that had almost devoured the world and the heartache that was slowly devouring his soul even now. Only his eyes, the color of the curse that defined his destiny, told the true tale and even then one couldn't really tell. He hid it well.

A shadow descended upon Harry as he looked up he found himself looking into the eyes of the man he called "Uncle". "Just so were clear," the beefy man began, "after today you are no longer welcome here." Rolling his eyes, 'Like I was welcome before' the young wizard said to himself.

"Yes sir." I mean what do you say to something like that? Harry noticed his Aunt and cousin, who had a large greasy breakfast sausage in his hand, rounding the corner of the front of the house and walking towards him.

"Well, you do well to remember that," Vernon Dursley gruffly replied as the two people came to a halt at his side. "I've had enough of your kind disrupting my life already. Don't want you contaminating my family any longer either."

"Um…" Harry just stared bewildered at the three oddest-looking people to have ever gathered in front of him. Who in turn had looks of disdain on their faces as they stared back. Just then a "Pop" was heard to the right of the group. A big black blur could only just be seen as it careened towards Harry at a breakneck speed. Petunia screamed and grabbed a hold of Vernon's arm as Dudley cowardly ducked behind his mother.

"Umhph," Harry let out, as the large dog collided into his chest knocking him breathless, and began to lick his face enthusiastically. "Snuffles? Why are…" Just then the aforementioned dog transformed into a very posh looking man in well fitted wizarding robes.

"Oh Harry, gosh its good to see you," Sirius exclaimed completely ignoring the scream Harry's aunt once again emitted frightfully at the sight of the mysterious man transforming in front of her, and swept the slightly smaller young man into a bone crushing bear hug. Laughing at his Godfather's antics and at his relatives' reactions, the Gryffindor wholeheartedly returned the hug full on.

Sirius Black, who after the many months on the run and doing undercover espionage for the order, had looked rundown before, now however with his freedom granted and the looming war having ended, Sirius could give a supermodel a run for their money. Aside from his tall stature and astounding good looks, the animagus made his mark in the wizarding world, apart from his looming persona of Azkaban escapee. He was reinstated as a prosecutor for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, where he ruthlessly prosecuted the remaining Death Eaters. Which made the surviving wizarding world rest easier.

"You've only just seen me just last week," Harry said amusedly as the older man ruffled his hair and let him go.

Stepping back to look into Harry's eyes, "Yes, well I'm just glad to see you," Sirius answered.

"Oh that's an understatement," a voice behind Harry called out in an amused tone. "Padfoot here has been bouncing off the walls all morning, literally." Sirius threw a teasing look over Harry's shoulder and started to chuckle at the statement

"Remus!" Harry turned around and gave his other godfather a hug, who was always a calming presence in his life, opposite the boisterous personality that was Sirius. Remus Lupin served as a emissary to the magical creatures during the war, after the war had become somewhat of an ambassador for the ministry with the Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. They had created a new section in the department, called the Division of Liaison, of which Remus was the head. He and his office staff served as diplomatic mediators between the wizarding world and the worlds of the all the magical humanoid beings. Many of which offered their services in the war. A large faction of tame werewolves, the Veela, the Daywalkers, a subspecies of vampires, the Faeries, the Merpeople, the Elves, the Montocers, a war like race that have a tendency to resemble demons, the giants, the Leprechauns, the Layas, a shape shifting race, the nymphs, and many more whose contribution had swayed the outcome of war's battles many times.

Harry loved his godfathers, they were his real family, along with the Weasleys, Hermione and Dumbledore who had become somewhat of a Grandfather to him. After the war Harry felt the need to keep those he cared about close, but not so much that they really knew his true feelings. No, it that regards he kept them as far away as possible, he didn't want to worry them. Harry felt responsible to keep them happy.

During the happy reunion of the wizards, the Dursleys had just stared at the exchange. However, fast becoming perturbed at being ignored, and by freaks no less, Vernon began to stew in anger as he grew red in the face. "Now see here I will not have you…you trash doing your tricks here out in the open, polluting my and my family's presence," Vernon bellowed. With a self-righteous tone in his voice added, "collect the boy and go." Petunia nodded, readily agreeing with her husband while beside her Dudley conspicuously tried to hide his bottom with is pudgy hands, whimpering slightly at the sight of the wizards behind his parents.

Eyes flashing angerly for a split second but a cool mask of indifference replaced the rage at the comment. "Well now, you must be the Dursleys," Sirius began as he turned from his godson and friend who had finished their hug and were now looking at the trio. Walking ominously towards the muggles, who stepped back instinctively, Sirius heard Remus call out in a low voice,

"Sirius."

"No no, I just would like to introduce myself," he called back with a dismissive wave of his hand, "seeing as how I haven't done so properly yet." Stopping just in front of Harry relatives with a mischievous grin, Sirius held at his hand. "You might remember me from the news." The Dursleys eyed him warily. "You know the escaped convict," he offered with a pointed look. Sudden realization came across all three faces when they suddenly realized that they were in the presence of a murder. "My name's Black, Sirius Black, I'm Harry's Godfather." Throwing his head to the side gesturing towards Remus "This here's Remus Lupin, He's Harry's other Godfather," glancing back at the other two wizards he continued with mock politeness," a werewolf you know."

Letting the thought settle he reached into his robes, the Dursleys collectively gasped as they glanced toward Sirius's robe were his hand disappeared expecting to see a wand appear. Harry held his breath, he knew Sirius didn't highly regard the Dursleys and their treatment of him. Harry's recount of his childhood, during their times together, had caused him to blow a fuse a couple of times and Remus had had to soothingly talk him down while physically holding him back from appraceting to Privet Drive and enacting hard vengeance.

"Sirius," Remus called again as he began to take a step towards his friend anticipating whether or not he'd have to actually defend to useless muggles.

"What?" The animagus looking back innocently asked with a sly grin as he pulled a small package out of his robes. Holding it out to Vernon, "This contains 50,000 pounds. This should cover the expenses that were incurred while Harry was under your custody." With a sneer he added "and considering the standard of care he was subjected to I think I'm being overly generous."

Regarding Sirius coolly Vernon greedily grabbed at the package. However the animagus pulled the package away from Vernon at the last minute. Sirius shook his head " Uh Uh," he said with a sing song tone. :Lets see…" looking thoughtful as he taped the edge of the package against his chin, " I think in exchange for this tidy sum of money you should give us something." Startled Vernon and Petunia look at each other pensively, clearly clueless as to what the man could possibly want . "How about an apology." now sneering evilly Siruis continued, "yes an apology to Mr. Potter is clearly in order.

Sputtering with indignation, Vernon began to turn purple while Petunia flustered like a hen at the blatant insult uttered at their expense. Remus saw Sirius' game immediately, smirking at his friend who had glanced in his direction and took the remaining steps forward until he stood beside his friend., leaving Harry standing there, shock purely shock etched in his face.

"Why Padfoot I do believe you're on to something"

"Yes Moony, I do believe I am."

Finally breaking out of his reservoir of anger Vernon glared at the two wizards "E-Excuse me, an apology….for what? What that little vermin should be doing, is being thankful on bended knee for all we've done for him." Suitably avenged for the insult Petunia nodded her head in agreement. Dudley was just staring at the exchange of the adults and threw a withering look at Harry, who still stood back in wonderment. It'd be like pulling teeth and nails, getting an apology from his Uncle and Aunt.

"It's alright, I don't mind, really I…" Harry began but was interrupted by a glowering Remus.

"No, excuse me. From what I recall, Harry here has done nothing but keep in line and shown nothing but respect towards you sorry excuse for life. Even as much as you not deserving it Harry is big enough to still not hold you to something as simple as an apology." Even for a werewolf Remus usually was extremely docile but debasing what the wolf part of him considered part of his pack was hazardous to one's health. Growling now with rage he took another step forward until he was in Vernon's face. "So I think my comrade here is justified in his request, Harry deserves an apology."

Not really catching the warning vibes or not paying attention, Vernon was totally aghast at the audacity of the werewolf. He opened his mouth, once again about to berate Harry when Sirius held up his hand." Look if you feel you've been wronged," rolling his eyes at the thought and sarcastically continue, "I'll just take my gesture of good will ," holding up the package of money, "and be on my way." Placing a hand on the enraged werewolf's shoulder tugging him back from the unsuspecting muggles and turned away and began walking towards Harry.

"NO." Vernon shouted sensing his newfound monetary compensation slipping away from him and receiving a poke in the back from his wife. Sirius and Remus stopped walking away and turned towards Vernon with smug looks plastered on their faces. Vernon resolutely sighed. "I mean no don't go, I'll do it." Flushed with embarrassment He glanced at Petunia who nodded encouragingly. Remus stepped to his left when Sirius gestured to Harry to stand beside him. Blowing out a breath the Gryffindor slowly walked forward. When he was between his Godfathers Harry lifted his head and looked expectantly at the Dursleys.

Lifting an eyebrow Sirius looked pointedly at Vernon, "Well?"

Swallowing a lump Vernon began "We…urm," Clearing his throat Vernon tried again chanting in his head '50000 pounds, 50000 pounds' "We are s-sorry for treating you without any respect," clearing his throat again Vernon was beet red. Dudley, who had been glaring a Harry, swung his head around shocked at his father. Smugly beaming Sirius handed over the money. "Now really, was that so hard?" He incredulously asked as Vernon tore open the package and hungrily began to flip through the bills with Petunia and Dudley drooling over his shoulder.

"You should have felt honored at hosting such a wonderful boy, I pity you for you really missed out," Sirius said his smug demeanor lost as a sad look traveled rapidly along his features at the thought of missing so many years of his Godson's life. Knowing what Sirius was thinking, Remus reach around and clasped his friend on the shoulder. Snorting with disbelief the Dursleys didn't even glance up, they were so heavily engrossed in the money.

Looking away with disgust the Gryffindor shook his head at the Dursley's piggish antics as they hoarded over the money. 'They really don't deserve any sort payment at all' Harry thought to himself. He had worked for his keep ever since he was capable of tasks. Although slightly biter, he had come to the conclusion his time with the Dursleys had been part of who he was and brought a sort of balance to his life; but, he'd never tell the muggles that.

Sirius shook his slightly, clearing away the self-pitying thoughts he'd slipped into. Remus gave him one final pat on the shoulder and withdrew his hand running his fingers through his shoulder length sandy blonde hair that was whipping about in the breeze. Sirius scoffed at the muggle's behavior to the money and his comment. "Considering the circumstances, you should consider yourself lucky, Harry here is very important to our kind and if anyone caught wind of his mistreatment…believe me an apology would be the least of your worries, Sirius explained with an evil gleam in his eye. Harry shuffled his feet beside him obviously becoming very self-conscious and looked to his left at Remus he pleaded with his eyes, catching the younger wizards meaning the werewolf cleared his throat, "Well let's get going, we have to get to the ministry."

Looking confusedly between his guardians, "What, you have to go to work today?" Harry asked just a little disappointed. He understood the two men had important jobs and were needed. With the aftermath of the war, every available fully trained wizard was put to work trying to rebuild the wizarding world.

"Only for the morning, I've got a couple of cases with the council," Sirius told the Gryffindor, his eyes softening as they descended upon his godson.

"Oh," a little bereaved Harry shifted his weight from one foot to the other, "Well I would like to see were you both work,"

"Well you'll definitely have to come along," Sirius supplied with a smile.

Perking up a bit Harry's eyes light up, "Yea, actually I'd love that."

"Maybe we could go shopping to," Remus interjected. "You definitely need new clothes, and as good-looking as you are you shouldn't be walking around looking like that." sniffling disdainfully at Harry's oversized rags. Harry blushed, he wasn't good at receiving compliments, although he was silently looking forward to this day even more.

"Well now," Sirius said as he clapped his hands together, "Lets get going shall we?" The Dursleys, who had finished counting the money, and with visions of what they could do with it already running rampantly through their minds, looked at the three wizards expecting them to leave as soon as possible.

"I agree," Remus said as he and his companions walked back to were Harry's luggage lay on the ground. Picking up the heavy trunk and cage and situating it in one arm with no problem. He riffled though his robe's pockets and pulled out a silver chain. Handing this to Harry who look at it quizzically. "This portkey is keyed to you, so anytime you want to go to Black Manor just hold it in your hand and say Prodo Domus and it'll take you home."

Home Harry's eyes began to tear up "Alright" I'm going home. Slipping the chain around his neck as he took one last look at Privet Drive, Harry readjusted the backpack on his shoulders. 'Maybe this change won't be that bad,' Harry thought as he whispered "Prodo Domus." Feeling the familiar tug behind his naval Harry saw his relatives for the last time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking around at his new surroundings, Harry's breath caught in his throat. "Welcome Home Harry," a voice whispered in his ear. Turning around the raven-haired wizard saw Remus, still carrying his trunk, behind him. Sirius had transformed into his dog form and was romping around the pair letting out excited barks. They had appreciated to Black Manor moments after him.

"Wow! This place is amazing," Harry exclaimed to his Godfathers laughing and chasing after Sirius as he took in the scenery with awe. All around him were lush green fields and rolling hills. The air was thick with the fragrance of the wildflowers that dotted the landscape as far as the eye could see and held a faint trace of apples.

Transforming back when Harry stopped and sniff the air Sirius explained, "There's an apple orchard a couple miles south of here."

"Hmm," was the young Gryffindor's only response. He was still taking in the sights that were spread before him, There were several trees sporadically seen amongst the landscape, all of which were in full bloom in the summer breeze. The sun seemed brighter as it reflected off a small lake that could be seen in the distance. Directly in front of Harry was a two story, ivy-covered stone manor, it wasn't huge and intimidating but it was fairly large. "Is this all yours Sirius?" Harry asked his Godfather while gesturing with his arms to the land around them.

"Yea," the animagus answered sheepishly scratching the back of his head a little embarrassed, "I think its about 3500 acres in all. The Blacks go back pretty far and they've all lived here so it just accumulated over time, shrugging his shoulders as he explained. He then gestured for Harry to follow him and began walking towards the house as Remus walked behind them. "The muggles can't see any of this though," Sirius continued, "There's loads of repelling charms, all they see when they look over here from the main road is swamp land." Stopping Sirius turned around to face Harry "You know," he started in a matter-of-factly tone, "Potter Place is the next expansion of land over to the East. Your lands are just as beautiful." Sirius pointed over to the right and his eyes seemly glazed over as he brought his arm down and gazed off in that direction "Yea, your father and I used to ride our Aethonons all over the place when we were younger.

Shocked Harry looked over in the direction Sirius pointed out. He hadn't known he still had ancestral lands, He felt a surge of familiarity and happiness run through him as he realized he really was home. Laughing lightly to himself Sirius continued "You should have see your grandmother face when we trampled through her prize rose garden," He was shaking his head and smiling whimsically at the memory. "Nothing was safe from James and I, we were a known terror through these hills Even the Longbottoms, they live to the west of here, weren't safe. This was our domain."

Sighing Sirius caught Remus's eye as he too was smiling softly in remembrance of his visits to the Potter-Black homesteads. "Come on lets get inside," Remus softly said stepping beside the other two, "we've got to get to the office."

"Yea," nodding to his friend. Sirius then looked at Harry, "I'll take you over there sometime." Putting his arm around Harry's shoulder, "Well go to the stables and saddle up the horses and ride down the first weekend we're free," nodding his head towards the werewolf. "Now lets get your stuff dropped off."

With that the three wizards made their way towards the manor side by side. 'Welcome home Harry,' the Gryffindor repeated to himself as he looked at his godfathers and smiled.

Welcome Home
