Thank you for the Reviews

~Opps, sorry about that~

~Can you fix it? ~

~noaslongasiamhereyoutakeonsomeofmylooks~ (A/N there is no spaces on purpose.  It's supposed to get past the feeling the person doesn't really want to tell the other person and is sheepish)

~WHAT!  Oh well.  It will return to normal after you leave, RIGHT! ~

~Of course~

"Harry, why are you talking to me in Parseltounge?"  Ron looked VERY worried.  But he wasn't quite as bad as the others, who were doing remarkable impressions of goldfish.  "And what was that cloud?  In English please!"

"Can you understand English?"

"Um Harry?"  Ron didn't look any happier at this question.

"Yes but I normally can't use it."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

"I think you better talk to… um, Ron, oh, yeah, Ron, now."  Ron was now openly gaping, just like the others.  "Okay, here it goes.  I… For Sirius the Snake/Brain Coral is here in my mind with me, changing some of my features for the day he's with me.  Any questions?"

"Don't you realize that's dangerous?"  Sirius had snapped out of the goldfish impression looked very concerned.

Harry felt like hugging Sirius.  Even though he hadn't thought Sirius was dead, he still hadn't seen him in a long time, unsure of when he would return.  However, at the slightly unnerved look on Sirius's face he restrained himself.  "He doesn't have any evil intentions.  I'm sure," he added at Hermione's dubious look.  "Has anyone thought of how we are going to get Sirius out, without him getting thrown in Azkaban, because if it can cover two, I think we should."

"Um…"

"Moody," Sirius said unbelievingly.  "Did you forget that I'm a wanted man?"

"Well, I thought you were dead.  The Unspeakables have worked on this forever, so I thought there was no chance…"

"I've got an idea.  Harry, summon your invisibility cloak."

"Great idea, it'll be a tight fit, as I'm all grown up now."

"I don't think you are that grown up."  Moody smiled.

"Okay, Accio Invisibility Cloak."  Harry shouted the incantation and concentrated on.  After about five minutes of silent concentration there came whizzing noise.  The Invisibility Cloak arrived with a huge rush of wind.

"Well we'd better go now."

"What happened to Janice?" asked the ever-observant Hermione.

"Who's Janice?"

"The Unspeakable that led us down here.  Well, when the large cloud enveloped you, she kind of panicked.  I used a certain charm that makes people go to sleep and wake up in one hour without remembering the last two.  The incantation is Dormito.  I'll teach it to you when we get out of here, but we'd better go before the hour is over."

Harry looked at Sirius again and hugged him, "I'm so glad your back.  Okay, lets go."  Sirius and Harry pulled the cloak over themselves and they all walked out of the building.  The Snake/Brain Coral was watching this emotional display, so stayed silent.

Moody didn't want to be stopped and asked about Harry and Janice's visible exclusion from their group, so set a purposefully brisk pace.

When they reached the fireplace, they debated, trying to be inconspicuous, on how to get back to Grimwald Place. 

"We can't have an invisible person shouting and the fireplace going green for no apparent reason.  And I don't think that two people could travel by floo powder at a time anyway," Hermione pointed out the obvious again.

"Well, I can just apparate there.  Since I built the wards, I can go through them, and take Harry with me," Sirius said in a low whisper.

They all got to the Grimwald Place's living room.  Sirius and Harry pulled off their invisibility cloak.

"It looks a lot different since I was here, and it feels like I was here this morning."

"Yeah, after the house elves from Hogwarts took Kreacher, because he used his master's words to suit his own purposes, they came back and swarmed the house.  They asked Mrs. Weasley what she wanted gone and she said everything with dark magic in it, and they took down some pictures, too.

"Hey mum, I heard a noise in the other room.  They must be back," one of the Twin's voices echoed down the hall.

"Good, what that poor boy must be going through…" She trailed off as she stepped into the room, "Sirius, You-know-who…" She fainted and Moody caught her and laid her down on the couch.

"Harry?"

"What happened to your face?"

"You look like Voldemort."

"Don't worry, I'm just visiting.  Whose Voldemort?" the Snake/Brain Coral said with Harry's mouth.  "I'll tell you later," Harry replied to the Snake/Brain Coral.

If the Twins looked scared, although Ron couldn't tell if it was from worry for Harry's memory, sanity, or body.  Probably both.  He could relate, having experienced the same shock a few minutes ago.

They seemed to abandon that line of thought for the moment.  "Sirius, you're back!"  "How?"  "What happened?"

"Harry traded the Snake/Brain Coral a day in his body for Sirius's release, the Snake/Brain Coral is the guardian of the Veil, I think."  Ron looked at Harry for confirmation.

"That's right, except I'm more the Veil than its guardian."

"You don't know how odd it is to hear you using my mouth and voice."

"YOU don't know how odd it is to hear you talking to yourself."  When Harry opened his mouth to protest Ron added, "Well, you know what I mean."

"Yeah, okay, COULD YOU STOP LOOKING AT THAT MEMORY, I CAN SEE IT, TOO."

"What's wrong with that?" the Snake/Brain Coral said innocently.  And before Harry could stop him he asked, "This is very vivid, what's with the lips, the Christmas, the Dumbledore's Army, the mistletoe, and the 'Cho' in that…"

Harry went bright red.  "STOP!  I'll tell you in a minute."  Harry turned his attention to the rest of the people in the room, all of whom looked like they all were trying to hold in just a little laughter.  "Well, if you will excuse me, I'll be in my room."

Harry exited the room and made his way up the stairs, looking at his feet and trying not to blush too hard.

"Harry?"  Harry looked up.  "AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGG!"  Ginny Weasley fainted.

~Opps. ~

~What's wrong with her? ~

~We look a lot like Voldemort right now.  It kind of freaks people out. ~

~And Voldemort is…~

~A very evil wizard.  He killed my parents.  I am actually kind of tired, as I didn't get much sleep last night.  Just tired of thinking right now.  Everyone can always find another thing to be odd about me, and this Ginny-fainting-thing tops them all. ~

~You just don't have the correct attitude about the whole thing.  You should just think it is funny, 'cause for what I can see of the future, it you don't get in a better humor soon, then…  I'm not supposed to tell you actually.  Oh well, just drift off thinking about what I said and I will take care of Ginny and your body for you. ~

"Oh, and can I call you something besides the Snake/Brain Coral.  Like Cory."  He said tiredly.

"That sounds good," He said soothingly.

"Thank you!" Harry said gratefully and he sunk into oblivion in part of his mind.  It seemed much easier to retreat and let someone else take over than it did to go to sleep.

Cory then flipped through all of Harry's memories about Voldemort, (Oh my gosh, Voldemort looks very familiar, like someone I know.  I'll put that thought away to ponder on a rainy day,) then his parents, then Sirius and the other Marauders.  He then decided to flip through the memories with strong emotions attached to them.  The Cho incidences came up again, but he realized towards the more recent memories, the feelings became almost non-existent.  Then he did the rest of the strong love memories, and came up with some of his friends and memories of Sirius and Dumbledore.  Then he went through all the memories with hate in them; All the ones with bullies, Voldemort again, then Dudley and Malfoy, then other Death Eaters, then Snape.  But like with the Cho memories, the Snape ones lessened in intensity of that emotion in the more recent memories.  He realized that was because they had both done something Harry hadn't expected, one had turned out to be working for the good side, and the other had a friend who betrayed them.  He also found out that Harry most of the time considered Hermione and Ron and himself as we in the times when he was most comfortable.

Then he noticed Ginny was stirring.  Opps, he was supposed to return her to the group, almost an hour ago when Harry 'fell asleep'.  He bent closer to her.

She rolled over and opened her eyes, "Harry, why do you look so different,"

"Probably because I am not Harry," Ginny looked somewhat relieved at this.  "I am just borrowing his body."  That was obviously not the right thing to say as Ginny fainted again.

Cory picked up Ginny, which was actually quite a lot of work in this feeble frame.  Nah, it's not an old feeble, just scrawny.  He staggered over to the living room, which wasn't that far, as he hadn't even gotten to the top of the stairs, just the first landing.

When he entered the living room, everyone was chatting happily.  Mrs. Weasley seemed revived and updated on the latest news.  Ron and Hermione where playing chess and Fred and George were watching, which Harry and Ron thought, from what Cory gathered, that it was good for Hermione to lose at something.

~Hello~

Fred and George looked up and said, "Still can't understand Parseltongue, try English."

"Hello."

"Much better."

"Are we talking to Harry or the Snake/Brain Coral?"

"And do you have a nick name or something we could use?"

"Cory.  Harry gave me the name Cory."

"Well Cory, tell us about yourself"

"Not much to tell, I'm just an Ancient Guardian of anything and everything that's in me."

"What sort of stuff do you have?"

"Well, there are quite a warm blooded few reptiles that I think have gone extinct.  I was going to release them right after they all died out, but the protocol says that I can't give something for nothing."

"Do you mean that if we trade you a day in our lives…"

"You can give us some Dinosaurs?"

"Yep, but I've got to warn you, Dinosaurs have personalities of their own.  Their intelligence level is almost par with the humans.  Their wizards and your wizards at least.  Their 'muggles' couldn't do much with their ungainly limbs not able to do anything delicate, so only the wizards were able to develop their brains.  After the wizards died out and the meteorite hit, all the dinosaurs died out.  But anyways, what do I do with Ginny?  She's getting heavy.  And my arms are hurting.  Are they related?"

"Yes."  They would have laughed but were concerned for their sister.  The Twins rushed over and took Ginny and laid her down on the couch.  "What happened to her?"

"I think Harry said she fainted.  People seem to do that a lot.  Especially the females.  Every female except Hermione actually." Cory speculated.

"Nah, its just shock of seeing someone they know turned into almost a Voldemort look alike."  "I think it might be best to keep the self willed dinosaurs in the veil.  Do you have any dragons that have gone extinct?"

"I don't know, is the Jewel Crown Dragon still alive today?  Their full size is only three feet tall and I know they were heavily hunted for their magical properties and mean temperament back in Merlin's days.  I could give you a couple of those.  They were too nice, so they were getting picked on, so came to me."

"Whoa, and the only thing we'd have to do is let you ride around in us for a day?"

"Yeah, this stuff is really fun, seeing it all from one perspective with emotional attachments.  But it would have to be in 6 weeks, because I'll have to recharge my magical wards and such."

"We'll drop in then…" 

They talked more about what dinosaurs were like and had a great time.  Lunch and dinner were really interesting experiments, but Cory did all right with all of Harry's memories to fall back on.  Later he talked to Ginny and Hermione.  He even introduced himself as Cory, but Ginny still seemed a bit too stunned to make proper conversation, so he ended up talking to Hermione about the difference in traditions between muggles and wizards.

Cory stayed up through the night to maximize the experience.  Except when he went to sleep for one hour to try it out.

Before he knew it, it was time to go back to the Department of Mysteries. 

"Well, I guess I will see you guys in six weeks then."

"You can count on it Cory…"

"We will miss you."

"Thanks guys."

Sirius had decided that apparating again would be the best option, and Moody would get the wards for the Department of Mysteries down for a half hour.  ("They have that option incase of an emergency and they have to get there fast.")

"Hey, Cory, remember to wake up Harry before you leave.  Otherwise it might make a magically induced coma.  I read it in a book.  And don't forget to shut the door after you leave, or else someone else might come in," Hermione reminded him.

"Bye guys, see you later."  And with that, Sirius apparated with a slight pop.

~Harry wake up please~

~Harry, are you in there? ~

~Harry, Wake UP NOW~ Cory screamed getting a little worried.  Cory willed Harry to come back to consciousness as hard as he could.

~What?  What time is it? ~

"HEY, I'm still here, could you stop talking in Parseltongue, Please.  And Cory, is Harry there yet?"

"Yes I'm here.  We're back here already?"

"Yes." ~So what do you think of Ginny fainting now~

~It's kind of funny actually, the look on her face…~ Harry stopped hissing for a minute trying to hold back laughter.

~Good~  "Sorry about that Sirius, I just had to tell Harry something."

"Hmph."  Sirius had a feeling they were talking about him when one of them burst out laughing.

"Well bye Cory."  ~And thanks~

"Bye Harry."  A green cloud with silver sparks came from Harry, went to the archway, surrounded it and soaked into it.
