Chapter 2

Lost and Captured

A hour passed and both of the boys landed with a soft 'bump' on the ground, and started to walk back up to the house just when Harry saw a black figure in the trees. So he grabbed his wand as fast as he could and shouted, "Petrificus Totalus!" And with that the person fell to the ground in a full body bind. Then Harry sprinted across the yard with Draco on his tail. There on the ground was no one other then a woman with shoulder length red-orange hair and brilliant green eyes. She had to be at least 35 years old and was five foot, five inches tall. Harry undid the spell and helped the woman back up to stand back up on her feet. She wore a green dress with a forest green cloak over it. It was tied at the neck with a nice golden rope. Just then she opened her mouth but Harry had cut her off and said, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" And just looked at Draco then back at the woman right in front of the boys. "My name is Li- Leah, Leah Annamarie Selo, and the reason why I am here is because I am looking for help. A Death Eater has captured my husband! Please help me. Please." The woman pleaded the Harry looked at Draco and then the both nodded their heads at each other agreeing that they would help the woman. "Okay Mrs. Selo, we'll help you." Said Draco and with that both of Harry and Draco followed Leah into the forest. They ran for at least five minutes. Just then the woman halted at the site and so did Harry and Draco. There was a man on the ground with a black eye and both a bloody arm and hands. His hands were tied behind his back and his legs were tied together. He had messy jet-black hair and blue eyes. Just then Harry heard someone mumbling so he moved to where it was coming from. Draco and Leah just started to follow just when Harry put up a hand for them to stop and they did just that, while he kept going. "Master will be so proud of Wirmtail." Said a man, and just then Harry recognized him as Peter Pettigrew. Harry stood there dazed for a moment then snapped back into reality and grabbed his wand and said, "Accio Wand!" And the Petigrew's wand flew into Harry's hand and then Harry shouted, "STUPIFY!" And the man fell to the ground as a rat.

Harry ran back to the couple and Draco, with Peter in his agnimous form in a cage with an anti-transfiguration charm on it so he can not change into human form. Harry revived the man as soon as he got back there. "Thank goodness your okay Potter! Do you know what Remus Lupin would do to me if something happened to you? Not to mention Granger and Weasley will have my head, not to mention your god-father." Draco shouted at Harry. Leah looked up when Draco had said Harry and the man looked up when Draco had said Remus Lupin . The man just looked at Harry just like Leah was, with a look of amazement and belief. "Er- excuse me sir, but what is your name? If you don't me asking." Asked Harry with a look of relief that the man was okay. "My name is Ja," the man stopped when Leah nudged him in the side so he pretended to clear his voice then answered, " Jake Markus Selo." And outstretched his hand to Harry to shake. "Hello Jake, my name is Harry, Harry James Potter. Nice to meat you sir." And with that they both shook hands. "Well lets get to the house before they get all worried about us." Said Harry and with that he and Draco led the way back to the house, with the couple close behind. Once they arrived there at the house Harry shouted, "SIRIUS COME ON OUT HERE." Said Harry and with that Sirius came running out of the house, and stopped right in front of Harry, Draco, Leah Selo, and Jake Selo. "Er, Harry what is going on here?" Asked Sirius looking from Harry to Draco then to Leah and Jake. "Well umm... a Death Eater which turned out to be Peter attacked Mr. Selo and Mrs. Selo came looking for help, but it was only Peter and I caught him for you!" Explained Harry to a concerned Sirius, and with that he removed the rat from the inside of his robes and handed it to Sirius. "You.. You caught him on your own? But how?" Asked Sirius. "Well I was hoping we can go inside and discuss it." Said Harry, and with that all five of them went inside.

The portrait of Mrs. Black saw them and started to scream, "YOU!!!! MORE FILTHY MUDBLOODS IN MY HOUSE! I DON'T BELIEVE IT AND A PURE BLOOD MARRIED TO THAT, THAT THING, THAT MUDBLOOD. A DISGRACE TO THE NAME OF WIZARD IN ALL UNITED!!! AND YOUR EVEN BACK FROM THE DEAD! I HATE YOU, YOU FILTHY PIECE OF SKUM! HALFBLOODS AND PUREBLOODS IN MY HOUSE, ALL OF YOU LEAVE! LEAVE MY HOUSE!" Harry gave her a look of disgust. "Shut up! You know you are talking about your self too, when you say purebloods! Oh, and think on this one Voldemort is a HALFBLOOD stupid. Now shut up!" Yelled Harry at the portrait, and with that the portrait went silent.

For that was the second time Harry had told her off. "I guess I am I rubbing off on you, because you certainly beat me at telling her off!" Sirius exclaimed and patted Harry on the back. Harry just blushed and walked to the meeting room. Sirius followed in awe and so did the rest but just shocked at the performance. "Okay here we are." Said Harry as they arrived at the meeting room. He opened the door for everybody so they could walk in. Sirius already walked in and sat down in a chair by the fire. "Oh no dear boy, you can go in, I'll close the door for you." Jake told Harry. Harry just nodded and walked into the room and sat down next to Sirius. As Leah and Jake walked into the room they saw Sirius pull Harry into a warm hug like Harry was his son. Harry hugged him back but even than Sirius had hugged him again. This made Leah and Jake get teary-eyed. They finally sat down a love seat across from Harry and Sirius.

"Er.. I don't mean to be rude or anything, but what is your job?" Sirius asked the two people. The couple looked at one another then Leah said, "Well we heard that there are two openings at Hogwarts this year so we were planning on talking to Dumbledor but we don't really have a fireplace." "What she means is that we don't have a home at the moment because, well.. our house was burnt down to the ground by Death Eaters and Voldemort the other day, and we have been on the run since then." Finished Jake. Harry looked at Jake in amazement until Jake noticed. He just simply smiled then said, "What's the matter Harry?" Harry shook his head then said, "Nothing, but you just said Voldemorts name and neither of you flinched at it, and usually only Sirius, Professor McGonagall, Dumbledor, and me call him for his true name. Nobody else does. Even my best friends Ron and Hermonie still flinch a little bit." Leah nodded and said, "Fear for a name only increases fear for the person or thing itself." Leah simply stated and Jake just nodded in agreement. "I agree ma'am." Said Harry and grinned. 'He looked just like his father when he did that.' Leah thought. As she thought that she started to break down in tears. She stood up. Jake did the same. "Honey, what's wrong. Where are you going?" Jake questioned his wife, while his eyes meant concern. "I'm sorry Jake NO James and I am Lilly NOT Leah, I can not lie about my name or who I am any longer, to Sirius, or even to my son. Okay James? I just can't!" Lilly shouted at James. "I know, it is hard" James whispered in Lilly's ear and wrapped her up into a hug and she just sobbed into his shoulder. Finally Lilly stopped, she looked up into James' eyes then over to Harry. Harry was shocked and so was Sirius. "Your- Your alive?" Harry questioned. "Yeah we are Ha-," But James was cut off when Harry started to yell, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING, YOU JUST LEFT ME AT THE DURSLEYS. I WAS THERE ALL MY CHILDHOOD LIFE BEING ABUSED PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. TELLING ME THAT I AM A WORTHLESS NOBODY! THAT MY OWN MOTHER AND FATHER NEVER LOVED ME AND THAT IS WHY THEY DIED!" As Harry said this he was also crying. His eyes were red and puffy already. Harry just threw himself into his Godfathers arms as he cried angrily. Sirius just rubbed circles on Harry's back trying to calm him down and comfort him. Lily and James were taken aback with what Harry had just said. "You have no idea what it is like." Said Harry loud and angrily, without meaning to his parents. And with that Harry fell asleep.

DREAM

'Wormtail, do you have that potion?' Said a high cold voice. 'Yes Master.' Said Wormtail. 'Then bring it to me, sssssssstupid' Voldemort hissed. Wormtail took the potion to Voldemort. Voldemort corked open the bottle and poured it into his snake-like mouth.

END OF DREAM

"Harry, Harry wake up!" A man said to Harry trying to wake the boy up from his nightmare. Harry woke up to some man pinning him down to the bed so he couldn't stir. Once his vision came in clear, he noticed it was his father. "Harry I am so sorry." Said James and pulled his son into a hug. After James let go he was expecting for Harry to shout at him even more but instead he didn't, Harry just hugged his father with all his might wishing, hoping that this moment would never end. Finally for what seemed like eternity Harry let go of his father. He looked in to his chocolate colored eyes and said, "I'm sorry." James looked at his son shocked for what he had just said to him. "It is okay Harry. You have a right to be mad at us for not being here with you. For letting Albus let you stay at the Dursleys." Harry just smiled and gave his father another quick hug and got up. "Where are you going, Harry?" Asked James looking at Harry curiously. "Going to change my clothes and with that he took off his shirt and went to find a new clean shirt. "So I see that quidditch pays off on you huh?" Asked James with a smirk. "What? You've seen me play?" Asked a surprised Harry trying to find a shirt. "No I have never seen you play but I hear that you a fairly good." Said James with a smirk. Harry just smiled then remembered his mother. "Where is mom?" Asked Harry. "Oh she is asleep. Why?" Said James curiously. "Oh nothing... Are you up for a prank?" Asked Harry with a wicked smile on his face, giving up trying to find a shirt so he just changed into a pair of black caprices. So Harry just pictured a kind of shirt he wanted in his head and snapped his fingers and it appeared right in his hands. "Wow how did I do that?" Harry said out loud. "Harry you can do wandless magic!" James exclaimed. Harry put on his shirt. It was a black tank top and it brought out his tan and showed his muscles from quidditch. "That looks good Harry, and back to the pranks." "Yea, Fred and George got me some firecrackers so I can set one off in her bedroom." Harry said simply with another one of his famous wicked smiles. "Okay, your on." Said James and with that and they shook eachothers and Harry got out the firecrackers. "Is Padfoot asleep too?" Asked Harry. James just nodded and smirked. He knew what his son was thinking.

Harry and James were setting up the fireworks (screamers and firecrackers) in the bedrooms James had Padfoots bedroom and Harry had Lily's bedroom. Once they were done Harry put a five-minute timer on his mothers fireworks, as did James.

Once they were done they ran out of the bedrooms shut the doors and ran down stairs to the broom closet and each grabbed a broom and went outside and flew up to where the bedrooms were to watch. After a minute or so Lily screamed then shouted at the top of her lungs, "JAMES GREGORY POTTER!" Then right after her was Sirius, "JAMES PRONGS GREGORY POTTER!" Sirius screeched. Harry and James flew down to the ground and fell off of their brooms doubling over laughing. Harry had tears streaming down his face and was clutching his stomach, as was James. A very angry Lily and Sirius came outside fuming. "What were you thinking?" They shouted at the same time. "What? It wasn't my fault it was Harry's' he planned it all." James said simply. Sirius turned to Harry his glare had gone down to a proud smile. "Well, well, well, look at what we have here James. A little pranker just like yourself." James just smirked at the statement, he then looked down at his son and smiled. Harry caught site of it and smiled back. Then Lilly screeched, "What did you do that for? Please tell me why you let Harry do that James!" She said shooting dagger death glares in her eyes at James and just glares at Harry. "Well I think I got this from dad. All of these pranks." Harry said with a wicked smile. James just held his peace, for he knew only that his wife would only yell at him if he said something to displease her. "Well sport, what's for breakfast? I'm starving!" Said Sirius while rubbing his stomach. "You are always hungry, you know that Padfoot?!" Said James with a smirk. All of a sudden a phoenix swooped buy Harry, and landed on his shoulder out of nowhere. "Oh hello Fwakes." Said Harry simply with a smile and petted the phoenix. Then all of a sudden he realized that this was no Fwakes this was another phoenix, it had all red feathers and some gold ones on the top of its head and its eyes were a amethyst blue color with a golden outline. Sirius was looking at the bird in awe then he finally got his voice back and said, "Harry when did you get this?" Harry thought for a moment, he then gasped for that made everyone turn his or her attention to him. "I remember when I was in Dumbledores office in my second year towards the middle of it, anyway, he told me how Fwakes was a phoenix in all and he than told me that the phoenix's choose their masters and not the other way around. They choose their owners because they believe that they are truthful, and have a great amount of courage and are pure hearted-" He then stopped there and just looked at the phoenix amazed. "Harry, I think it wants you to be its owner." James said and then extended its hand to pet the phoenix.
