The Strangest Memory

As soon as Ginny let go of him Ron gave him a truly remarkable thump on the back almost knocking him over.

"Sorry Harry" Ron apologized, then he got straight to business. "I need to talk to you, upstairs – alone"

Harry felt a surge of mirth that didn't belong to him or Voldemort. Looking round Harry saw Ginny was about to burst into a fit of giggles. Deciding to bail her out he said "Okay, your room but Ginny comes too - there something I need to discuss with both of you and Hermione when she gets here."

Ron's ears went pink

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"So I can't actually tell you were the new headquarters is because they've put a cross between a babbling and fidelus charm on the new location – but they never said I couldn't write it" Ron handed Harry a bit of parchment that had only two words on it

Spinner's End

Spinner's End. For some reason the name sounded familiar to Harry, although he was certain he had never heard of it before.

"Okay, that's our side, now – Spill" Ginny said grinning, happy that they were accepting her into their little group

"It's a bit complicated" Harry started.

Ginny interrupted him. "I meant how are you dealing with Sirius?"

"I could try and explain it but I'm going to need a pensieve" Harry replied a bit evasively.

"Where, you gonna get one of those?" Ron asked, wondering why Harry would need a memory-dish to explain his feelings.

"Grimmauld Place" Harry said simply

"Harry, are you sure you want to go back there?" Harry looked round to see Professor Dumbledore standing in the doorway.

"Certainly Professor, I think I have a few things to discuss with you after we visit my memory. I'm going to need your magical experience" for a single second Harry was almost certain Dumbledore raised an eyebrow

"Very well" he said taking a scarf out of his robes "Portus" he said holding it out to the three teens

"Professor, I'd like everyone to be there when I do this, I really don't want to have to repeat it twice"

"Understandable Harry, However, I believe the Weasleys were headed for Grimmauld Place anyway"

Reluctantly, Harry, Ron and Ginny found themselves in the kitchen of Number 12

And being watched by Remus, Tonks, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Mad-Eye Moody and Mr and Mrs Weasley.

"Ron!" Hermione Granger nearly leaped into Ron's arms. Harry caught Ginny's eye and each turned away grinning

"Harry, I believe you wanted to discuss a few things" Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling merrily.

"Yes, but first I need a pensieve – there's one in Sirius's old room" Harry said as he ran to retrieve it .

"Okay, this is what I need you to see" Harry looked directly at Remus. Harry put his memory into the dish.

"Okay, everyone"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Half an hour later, Remus sat in the kitchen with a stoic look on his face. Hermione was rambling about realms to Ron, Mr and Mrs Weasley were looking at the pensieve disbelievingly, Tonks was silently crying. Moody for once seemed intrigued and not suspicious. Only Dumbledore and Ginny seemed unaffected.

"I can see why you wanted my advice Harry" Dumbledore said thoughtfully

"Is it real or is it just some nonsense dream?" Harry asked, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"Remarkably, it seems genuine. Only one person in this room, will be able to determine with or not that was Sirius" Dumbledore said, looking at Remus

"That was Padfoot alright" Remus said. "Albus, what did he mean by 'usually stay that way'. I know of no spell that can return the dead" He continued. Everyone turned to face Dumbledore
