Return To Hogwarts-Chapter 6
* * *
Hermione and Harry stepped out of the fire and into his office. They were greeted by Albus Dumbledore, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Granger-Black. Sirius ran into his mother's arms and hugged her.
"Are you alright, sweetie?" Hermione asked, peering worriedly at her son.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Mom. Really," Sirius assured her.
"Hello, Hermione," Remus said softly.
"Remus! Hello. How are you?" she asked.
"Fine. And you?" he asked.
"Good," she answered quietly.
"It is good to see you again, Hermione. I trust you told her everthing, Harry?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes, Albus," Harry said, nodding his head.
"You know everyone?" Sirius asked his mother incrediously.
"How could I not, Sirius? Professor Dumbledore was my Headmaster. Harry was one of my best friends. And Remus was a friend of...a friend of your f- father's," Hermione explained. That reminded Sirius of something.
"How come you never told me that you and my dad were magical?" Sirius demanded.
"I...we...I was young and...and I didn't know how to tell you and I was scared that you'd be in danger if I did. I...I also didn't want the situation to bring up memories that I didn't want to relive. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, Sirius," she said. Sirius opened his mouth to say something, but was beat by Remus and Harry.
"Memories about Sirius?" they echoed at the same time. Hermione bowed her head and nodded.
"My dad? What happened to him?" Sirius asked.
"He died 11 years ago," Dumbledore said quietly.
"How? That guy that attacked me said he killed my dad. Is that how?" Sirius asked, hoping that that wasn't the case. He wanted to know the truth. He hoped that his dad hadn't been a murder victim.
"Peter Petigrew- the guy who attacked you- as good as killed your father," Hermione said softly.
"Before you hear this, Sirius, you have to know that your father was a great man and an extraordinary wizard," Remus began, "A long time ago there was an evil wizard named Voldemort. Voldemort was feared by many and his followers, Death Eaters, we equally feared.It was dark times. No one knew who to trust. Four friends, however, believed that none of them would ever cross over to the darkside. Voldemort was after James Potter, the unofficial leader of the four friends, known as Mauraders. James placed his life and the lives of his wife and son in the hands of one of his friends, Peter Petigrew. Peter was to keep the location of James and his family secret. Then on Halloween night, 26 years ago, Voldemort attacked the Potters. James and his wife, Lily, died at the hands of Lord Voldemort. They died protecting their infant son, who would later cause the downfall of Voldemort. Infact, it might intrest you to know that James and Lily's son is standing right infront of you."
"Go on with your story, Remus," Harry said, blushing feverantly.
"Anyways, that night after the Potters died, James's best friend- the one that everyone thought he had placed his trust in- checked up on Peter and the Potters. When he found that his best friend was dead, he went after Peter, knowing that Peter was the servent of Lord Voldemort that had betrayed his friends. He found Peter in a muggle street. That night Peter disappeared after killing 12 muggles and framing his former friend for commiting two crimes: 13 murders and being the deatheater that betrayed his friends. That night Sirius Black was sent to the wizard prison, Azkaban, for murder and no one had any doubts that he did everything he was accused of," Remus shook his head sadly.
"My dad's friend put him in prison for something he didn't do?" Sirius asked incrediously. Remus nodded.
"Thirteen years later Sirius escaped Azkaban, a feet no one thought possible. He came to Hogwarts where Harry, his godson was. He was on the run from the ministry, so he stayed in his animagus form which was a dog. He later caught Peter in his rat form and convinced 4 people that he was an innocent man. Those people were: Harry, Harry's friend, Ron, Hermione, and me, the last of the four Mauraders. Peter escaped and with him was the evidence that your father was innocent. Sirius was on the run again. The next year, Voldemort returned to full strength with the aid of Peter. The Ministry of Magic ignored the fact that Voldemort had resurfaced. Then, 11 years ago Harry had a vision of Voldemort attacking Sirius. Sirius was the first real thing to a father that Harry had ever known so Harry went to the Department of Mysteries to help Sirius. Harry was accomponied by his friends, Hermione, Ginny Weasley, Ron, Neville Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood. The vision that Harry had was a fake that was planted in his mind to lure him to the Department of Mysteries. The kids fended off the deatheaters as best as they could, but were about to be done for when we showed up. Me, Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebott, Mad-eye Moody, and Sirius fought off the deatheaters until Professor Dumbledore arrived and stopped all the deatheaters in their tracks. All of them except for one. Your father's cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Sirius duelled non-stop. A stray spell knocked Sirius of a balcony and into a veil. He was never seen again," Remus finished. Sirius nodded his understanding.
"What about what Peter Petigrew said about my mom?" Sirius asked.
"He wants to get back at all the loved ones of his former friends. He's after you and your mother," Albus put in.
"I'm sorry I never told you," Hermione said, placing her arm around her son.
"It's okay, Mom," Sirius said. He smiled.
Unknown to everyone in the room, a rat lurked under the desk.

A man walked restlessly on-wards down a dark tunnel. It wasn't any different from the gazillion other tunnels he walked though since he arrived in this world. He didn't know why he pressed on; he was just going to find a million more tunnels. Maybe he thought that if he walked enough, he would find the exit and would be able to go home. He missed Earth desperately. He missed everthing about it, well, almost everything. He could definately live without Kreacher the House Elf. And Bellatrix. And her chum, Voldemort. He would've gave anything to see Harry and Remus again. And Hermione. Then as he thought about his loved ones, light shone from above, illuminating two different doors, opposite of each other. Which one should he take? His question was answered by two figures passing though the door on the right.
"Long time, no see, Sirius Black," one of the two figures smiled. Sirius gaped at the people he saw. A man with untidy black hair and hazel eyes waved and a woman with red hair and emerauld green eyes smiled warmly.
"J-James? L-Lily?" Sirius asked weakly.
"Boo!" James Potter laughed.
"We're ghosts, Sirius," Lily Potter explained.
"Does that m-mean I'm d-dead!?" Sirius exclaimed.
