Chapter Two
Padfoot and Prongs return
"Moony!" yelled James and ran over to talk to him. "James, Sirius, Serena, Lily, can I have a minute?" asked Dumbledore "Oh, yes and Severus I need to talk to you as well" he added. "Snivellus!" James yelled, and everyone except Snape snorted with laughed, even Dumbledore and Mad-Eye Moody. "James I see you never quite grew up now did you?" he retorted "or you black." "Severus, I haven't told you this in a long time" she said but paused "Shut up!" she yelled.
"James and Sirius I would like you to teach Defense against the dark at Hogwarts, Lily if I remember correctly you are very skilled with charms you can assist Professor Flitwick, and Serena you can assist you brother, is that all right all of you?" Dumbledore asked. "Perfect!" said James excitedly. "I get to be around Colleen and Harry!" said Sirius. "We get to take random points away from Slytherin" James said as he looked up at Snape to see if he would get made and he did.
"Colleen" said Dumbledore "we need to place you in a house." Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione walked over toward Dumbledore and Colleen. Dumbledore pulled out the sorting hat out of his robes, and conjured a stool. "Okay" she said hesitantly. She sat down on the stool; Dumbledore placed the hat on her head and almost immediately started to speak. "Pure blood, good trait for Slytherin, great Ambition also Slytherin but great bravery very great bravery, very much like Godric Gryffindor himself and a thirst to prove your self, you don't want to be in Slytherin I see, and for this I'll say...GRYFINDOR!" the sorting hat roared.
"This is terrific" said Harry "you're in our house" he finished. Hermione, Ron, Ginny, and Harry told her all about Hogwarts and the people in it.
James made his way over to Lupin and so did Sirius. "You know Sirius, your daughter is an Animagi, a grim, like you" said Lupin. "What, are you kidding?" Sirius asked "Colleen come here" he called. "Yeah dad?" she answer. "Lupin told me you are an Animagi." he said let me see then" he crossed his arms as if waiting for answer. "Alright" she said, as she turned into a Grim and then back again.
"It's like you've been doing it for years" he said, as though he was surprised. "I have been 7 years to be exact, you see if you're born from a parent that was an Animagi it's all ready in your blood all you have to do is take that horrible first potion, and of course endure the first transformations" James, Sirius, and her self cringed at the thought of the first transformation "those were killers" said James.
"Now this is a real Grim" he said right before he turned into a great big Black dog. "Sirius, I forgot how big you are as a Grim" James said to the dog. Sirius turned back into a dog then turned to look at Colleen. "You're not that much bigger than I am" she said turning on her heal and walking back to Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione.
Dumbledore walked over to them and gave them each a letter. "School lists" he said handing Colleen the last one. Dumbledore then walked over to Mrs. Weasley to talk to her. "Dress robes?" said Ron surprised. "We haven't needed those since-since the Yule ball!" said Harry. "It's says all fifth year and above students need dress robes" said Ginny. "But it doesn't specify why" said Hermione. "I need them" said Colleen hesitantly. "So do I" said Ginny quickly. "Me too" Ron said very quickly trying to make sure no one heard him, but they all did. "Ron you've gotten a new pair every year, and you didn't even wear any last year." said Hermione in a mater of fact tone.
"Yeah, but I grew about three inches this summer" answered Ron. "I wonder why we need them" said Ginny, ignoring what Ron just said. "Probably another dance or something formal" said Hermione.
Sirius walked over to Harry and Colleen "may I have a word you two?" he asked. Harry and Colleen looked at each other "alright" Colleen answered first. "Sure" answered Harry "why?" "I have a hearing tomorrow in front of the Wizengamot Council, and they are going to use Veritaserum..." Colleen cut him off "but on the council doesn't that mean a blood relative needs to take it first, to test it?" "Well..." he scratched his neck uncomfortably "well...yes." "Oh well alright, but if they ask me something incredibly embarrassing or something, I'll kill you." "No, I'll kill him" said Serena walking up behind Sirius and putting her right hand on his shoulder.
He turned toward her and put his arms around her and she put her hands on his waist, and he lowered his head to kiss her. Harry and Colleen looked at each other "I won't stop them, because my mum has been dead for so long, and they haven't been able to kiss for so long" Harry shrugged about what she just said.
Harry felt a finger on his shoulder he turned around and saw his mum and dad. "Harry, we have something to show you but first, Colleen could you break them up?" pointing at Sirius and Serena who were now fully snoging. "Er- mum, dad?" she went up to them, and they separated immediately. "Sirius it's time, I want to show him" said James to Sirius. Sirius turned to Colleen and said "you're going to love this." "You really are" said Serena to Colleen. Sirius and Serena turned to follow Lily and James Colleen shrugged at Harry and they both followed.
They left the drawing room and entered the hallway when they got to the front door they opened it and left 12 Grimmauld Place, and turned right onto another street. They walked up the street and passed several grimy houses and turned into an extensive hilled drive way "3 Stag Horn Way" said James happily. Harry looked at Colleen and muttered "what in the world?"
"We're here" said Lily excitedly as they neared the top of the hill. There stood two very large houses, one white, and one brick. Lily and James moved toward the white and Sirius and Serena moved toward the Brick. "Meet you back here in an hour?" asked James. "Sure" said Sirius "Colleen are you coming?" he asked laughing slightly.
They walked up to the door and opened it. Colleen expected it to be very dusty, but on the contrary it was very clean and polished. "Whoa!" she said excitedly "it's so huge, and clean!" "Anti dust and insects charm" Serena smiled "do you want to see the rest?" she asked. Sirius and Serena showed her around the house it was very similar at the Potter house.
"Harry this is your room, where I er- died." said Lily. Harry opened the door slowly and walk in, Lily and James followed. "I believe you'd rather a bed and er- a complete change of scenery" he raised his wand, but before he could say anything Lily screamed "James NO!" she ran over to the crib and pulled out a scarlet and gold blanket that bared the Gryffindor coat of arms, then walked back to his side, "now you can do it, James."
He raised his wand, and at the flick of it the light blue walls became scarlet and gold with Gryffindor coat of Arms on the far wall. The white crib became a four poster bed with scarlet sheets and gold pillows, very much like his own bed at Hogwarts. Handsome armchairs furnished the room in front of the fireplace. "Whoa!" he said excitedly then turned to his father to thank him. "Thank you so much" he said quickly. "Don't mention it Harry" he replied. "I've got to show Ron this room" said Harry still gawking at the room.
When the hour was over they met Sirius, Serena, and Colleen in the front of the house. "Exactly as I remembered it" said Lily looking at the front of the houses. "No more dirty Grimmauld Place after this" said Sirius directing this at Harry and Colleen. "Wait, I want to see if the vaults are still full to capacity!" said Serena excitedly.
They walked around to the back of the houses, Sirius walked up to a wooden trap door that was slightly covered with dirt and grass. He knocked three times with his left foot and then shouted "Padfoot!" the door opened. James did the same thing, but instead of saying Padfoot, he shouted "Prongs!" Colleen walked over to the one Sirius had opened and almost fell in because she was so amazed. Harry walked over to her side to see why, he let out a loud "Whoa!" There was a very large room, as big as the Gryffindor Common room filled completely with hundreds of thousands of Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts. "Harry come here" called James.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Sirius said to her handing her an old money pouch. She took a lot of money out of the vault and stuffed it all into the money bag, Harry was doing the same. "We're going to Diagon Alley after the hearing tomorrow" said James to Harry. "I still have a lot of money in Gringott's, dad" said Harry. "Do you really, if my dad left me that much money when I was your age, I would have spent it within days" James answered. Sirius butt into the conversation "yeah, probably on dung bombs" he said jokingly. "They were a worthy investment, really" he said, they all laughed.
They walked back to Grimmauld Place talking and laughing about old stories. When they got back to Grimmauld Place, everyone was still in the drawing room except Mrs. Weasley. Harry and Colleen walked over to Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. "Mum said we're going to eat when you got back, where did you go any way?" Ron said.
"We went home" said Harry "I have to show it to you, the houses are amazing" he said excitedly thinking about his room. "I'm hungry" said Ron quietly.
"DINNER!" yelled Mrs. Weasley from the kitchen. Every one rushed to the kitchen for food. Colleen and Harry sat next to each other Sirius sat by Colleen, and James sat by Harry. They all shoveled mounds of food onto their plates. Sirius turned to Mrs. Weasley and said "Molly this is amazing!" Ron, who hade a mouth full of chicken, nodded. "Thank you Sirius, it was my pleasure, dear." Lupin asked James "How do the houses look?" "Terrific, the anti dust and insects jinx really helped, it looks the same as it did when I died" James replied.
When they were finished with dinner they walked home with their trunks and cages. "What is that?" Harry asked gesturing toward the cage she carried under her left arm. "She's a Barmonagus, she can change into other animals, but that's her natural form." They reached the two houses once again, and said good bye to each other. "I'll see you tomorrow Harry" Colleen said to him.
Harry followed his parents into the house, and then shut the door behind him. He said "good night" to both of his parents; his mum kissed him on his forehead, before he went upstairs to his bed room.
He laid in his bed thinking. I really like Colleen and I think I mean more than just a friend, he want her as a girlfriend. For the first time in his life he had parents, and Sirius back, finally his life was going right.
I hope Sirius gets off, he thought. Dumbledore is head of the Wizengamot council, but Fudge does have the final word. He would know tomorrow any way. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
He woke up the next mourning to his mother shaking him. "Harry, Harry, wake up or we'll be late for Sirius's hearing" he rolled over to face her. Her dark red hair dangling inches from his face, her Emerald green eyes twinkling. "Okay, I'm up" he said finally. Harry heard his bed room door close.
He rolled out of bed and walked over to his trunk, but then he decided he would see if there was anything in the wardrobe on the far side of his room instead. He walked over to it, and opened it. All kinds of different wizarding robes hung in front of him. He pulled down an Emerald Green pair that were the same color as his eyes, and put them on. He looked in the mirror on wardrobe door, he liked what he saw.
He walked downstairs happily, and met his mum and dad in the kitchen, they smiled happily. "Harry, I have something to show you" said James handing Harry a small polished wood box, he was wearing maroon red robes. He took the box and opened it; it was the golden snitch he had seed his father playing with last year in Snape's memory. "Whoa, thanks" he said tucking the box into his pocket. "Well, eat something Harry, we might not be eating for a long time, so I guess you should eat up" said Lily. "Alright, thanks" he wasn't very used to saying 'mum' he thought "mum" he finished.
He sat down, and began to shovel food onto his plate, then into his mouth. "James, he inherited your appetite" she said pointing her face in his direction, smiling all the same. "We are meeting at Grimmauld Place, and we are going to take the Floo-Network to the ministry, now tell me Harry, who is the Minister of magic?" James said and Lily nodded because she wanted to know too. "Fudge" said Harry in a very annoyed voiced, he hated Fudge because he believed that he was just a liar who wanted attention. "And does Barty Crouch still work there?" Lily asked sweetly, while pouring her husband some coffee. "No, well...he died, or er- was killed two years ago" Harry answered hesitantly. "Well old Padfoot's got a real chance then, especially if Crouch is gone" said James as he took a sip of his coffee.
They finished breakfast and headed over to the Black house and waited for them all to be ready. Sirius looked particularly unconcerned about the hearing. Of course Colleen looked rather pretty once again, in light blue silk robes, but of course with her shaggy black hair falling around her pretty face, with her deep, dark blue eyes twinkling.
"Good morning, Harry" she said brightly. "Same to you" he said quickly. They walked to Grimmauld Place in almost complete silence, until. "Errrr" Colleen yelled in annoyance and slight pain, she put her right hand on top of her scar, in another second, Harry was doing the same. "He's happy" he said quickly. My most loyal servants are now out of Azkaban, you said Black is back in England wormtail, what? The Potters and the Blacks are alive (their scars burned more painfully now, because he was mad) she must be the resurrector, there is no other way... "Did you hear that?" Colleen asked nervously. "Yeah!" he said pushing his hand harder on his forehead.
When they entered Grimmauld place they surprised to find only Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and Lupin sitting in the kitchen. "We'll be meeting you in Diagon alley at 2:00" said Mrs. Weasley. "I hope you win Sirius" said Mr. Weasley. "Good luck Padfoot" said Lupin slowly. "Remus, you haven't called me that in years" said Sirius sounding very flattered. "It sounded like the right time to start again."
"Well, we'd best be off" said Serena wanting to be on time. "We'll see you later then in Diagon alley" said Mrs. Weasley "I'm sure Ginny, Ron, and Hermione will be wanting to go, good luck Sirius, but don't worry, if they're using Veritaserum." said Mrs. Weasley truthfully.
Serena pulled out a bag of Floo- Powder and threw and handful into the flames, the flames turned green she walked into them and said pleasantly "The Ministry of Magic!" They all did this one by one into the fire and using the Floo- Network to get to The Ministry of Magic.
