The Memorial
The next morning Harry woke up and went and took a bath and got dress in his new dress robes witch where red with gold trim on it, Harry then went to the great hall to eat breakfast. Once Harry arrived in the Great Hall he noticed that Professor McGonagall was there with Dumbledore, Snape and Hagrid. Professor McGonagall said "you look very nice Mr. Potter or should I say Apprentice Potter. Since you are no long considered a student you can call me Minerva" Dumbledore spoke "I agree with that you should also call me Albus"
Harry said "I will try to remember to do that it will take some time thought." Snape spoke "I still wish for Potter to call me Professor Snape. I like to be show a little respected." Dumbledore chucked and said "Well in that case you should address Harry with his proper title as Apprentice Potter." Snape said "You got to be kitting me." Dumbledore said "If you want to be show respected you also have to give some back." "Fine Potter you can call me by my first name if you wish" said Snape while giving Harry a death glare that said if you do you will die.
After breakfast Dumbledore got up and said "we will be taking a Portkey since Hagrid can not Apparat. Harry take out your wand and say incantations "Portus" while thinking of the detonation and a trigger." Snape said "what your letting Potter make the Portkey. I know he powerful but still come on." Dumbledore said "Harry will do just fine he has done a lot harder magic then making a Portkey."
Harry toke out his wand pointing it at a newspaper and said "Portus" while thinking of the drawing room and making the trigger the word "Padfoot". The newspaper glowed silver for a second. Dumbledore said "Grab on to the newspaper". Once every one had a hand on the Portkey, Harry said "Padfoot" out loud. The next thing he knew he was standing in the drawing room with the other Professors. McGonagall said "That was very good Harry I see you have learned a lot form Albus." Dumbledore led the group down to the living room.
Harry saw his friends sitting in the corner talking to them self's. Ron was the first to notice Harry and said "Hi Harry how have you been doing." Harry walked to them slowly still in sock about being in Sirius old home. Once Harry was in the corner he spoke "I guess I been ok." Hermione said "You have groan a lot since we saw you two and half weeks ago." The trio talked for about a half hour about there summer before Dumbledore started the service.
Dumbledore stood in front of the fire place with two different pictures of Sirius on an easel by him. Dumbledore said "Today we are here to remember and honor Sirius Black for the thing he has done in his life, from being a great friend to being a godfather to Harry. Will in Azkaban he never gave up hope to be free and to help raze his godson Harry to become a great man. We can all learn something from Sirius. We will miss you greatly, but we will not give up life because of your death, because we all know you would want us to continue on without you."
Dumbledore took a seat and Remus Lupin got up and spoke "Sirius was the best friend you could ever have ask for. When I was young I was afraid no one would want to be around me because I am a werewolf. But I was wrong Sirius and James where there for me the whole time becoming Animagus to help me out on the nights that I transformed in to a beast. Sirius was always there for you. He loved Harry as his own son. He would do anything to help Harry in life. Even trying to tell the truth when it hurts the most. I will miss Sirius a lot. Good bye Padfoot I hope you will be happy with Lilly and James."
Lupin took a seat and Harry stood up and said "Sirius was the closes thing I had to a father or parent. I loved Sirius with all my heart, when I saw Sirius fall thought the veil it was like part of me died with him. At the time I thought Sirius was my only true family I had. But I learn something from him. He disliked the ways of his blood kin, they where not his family you guys where his family in his heart, now I realized that all of you are my family too. Good bye Sirius I will always remember and love you for ever." Harry sat down and listen to Dumbledore again.
After the ceremony Mrs. Weasley brought out some food. When everyone sat down there was one chair left empty at the spot where Sirius use to sit. Every one sat quit for minute looking at the empty chair before starting to slowly eat. After a very quit lunch every one went back to the living room for the reading on the will. Dumbledore took out a letter and read it out loud.
Dear Family
If you are reading this then I must be dead. I hope I died fighting the dark and protecting my godson. I do not wish for you to morn my death, instead I want you to celebrate my life. Since I know Harry more in likely is blaming him self for my death. I want to say unless you took out a knife and killed me your self, it was NOT YOUR FAULT. Remus my friend I know it must be hard but, I like to ask you take care of Harry for me. Harry if you ever need to talk to some one you can trust. Remus will be there for anything. Take Remus in Harry let him help you on your journey of life.
Well I guess we should get down to business, first I like to give the Weasley family 500,000 Galleons As a thank you gift for caring for Harry. I like to give Remus 500,000 Galleons for being a good friend and brother. I like to give the Order Grimmauld Place to use for Headquarters. I like anther 500,000 Galleons for rebuilding of Godric Hollows so Harry as a home. I am giving the rest of my money to my Godson Harry Potter so that he might be able to live a nice life.
Remember do not be sadden by my death, just be happy about the time we had together I will always be looking after you all
Sirius Black
The worst trouble maker ever
Dumbledore fooled up the letter and put it on the table for any one to read. Harry whet in anther room to be alone when Remus came in. He asked "Harry is it ok if I come in?" Harry just nodded his head yes. Remus took a seat next to Harry. Harry said "I miss Sirius so much I wish he was here right now. I would give up every Knut I have to have him here now." Remus sad "I know you would but we have to try and move on. I don't know how you are going to do it Harry. But in the end it has to all work out, it has too." Harry launched him self in to Remus arms and cried.
The two much have been that way for an hour just holding each other. Remus moved and said "Harry I will always be there for, if you wish you can call me Remus, or as James want you to call me Uncle Moony. Harry said "ok Uncle Moony I like that, but you have to promise you won't die on me will you?"
A few minute later Harry and Remus came back down stares to be with every one else, once down stares Dumbledore said "Good I glad you're here Harry I have decide to let Mr. Weasley and Miss. Granger and young miss Weasley will be coming to Hogwarts for the summer, to keep you company. They will be getting extra lessons too. For example you guys will have Animagus training. Snape will teach Potions and proper Dueling. But Harry your apprentice lessons will still be privet. They will be taking other lessons at the same time so they don't get board." Harry was very happy to have his friends company while at the castle it was kind of lonely with out them.
At about three a clock Dumbledore said "It time for the ones that are going to Hogwarts to leave. Harry if you will make a up Portkey for us that would be much appreciated." Hermione went white and said "Harry learned how to make Portkeys already with just two weeks of apprentice training" Dumbledore said "Yes Harry learn this morning mater of facted. Don't worry Harry made the Portkey that brought us here and we are just fine. Now Harry if you will."
Harry took out his wand and pointed at the same newspaper that brought them here and said "Portus" setting the trigger to be Padfoot again. Harry said "It ready to go now Ron, Hermione and Ginny should probably get their trunks." Hermione, Ron and Ginny went upstairs to pack there stuff and came back with there trunks and Hermione had a cat cage with an unhappy Crookshanks. Every one bid each other there good byes.
Then Harry said "Grab on to the Portkey will touching you belongings." Harry then put a finger on the newspaper and said "Padfoot".
