Hello again! Sorry it's been a while since I updated. But with a huge algebra final/Spanish final/major homework/reading HP for the 19th time, it's hard to spend time writing! Especially when you are always updating another story. By the way, if you haven't read my other fic, "Messing with Time", you should read it. Since none of you reviewed and gave me ideas on who should be hugging Sirius, I consulted my trusty pal Lion Hart and decided who it should be. But I don't know if she's dead, so excuse me! Oh well. And I guess I need to put a disclaimer, too.
Disclaimer: I own none of this. JK Rowling does. If I owned it, do you think I'd be writing here, or frantically awaiting the 7 days till July 16?
I pulled away from the mysterious person hugging me. "What- Andromeda? Andy?" I was staring into the face of none other than Andromeda Tonks, aka Andy.
"Andy? What are you doing here?" I asked her. "Wait-duh, I'm in heaven, and so are you, because we're both dead. Hahaha! I'm stupid."
"Sirius! I missed you so much! It's so good to see you! I've been watching you through the pools for forever!"
"Whoa, slow down there Andy, but when exactly did you die? Was it while I was in Azkaban?"
"Of course Sirius, what do you think?"
"Well excuse me! No one ever thought to tell ME about it!"
"Maybe because you were in AZKABAN!"
"Will you stop yelling, guys!" yelled another voice.
"Who was that? Gideon! Fabian! Wow, you look bad…" Gideon and Fabian Prewett had joined us, covered in scars from their battle with five Death Eaters.
"Wow, it's like and Order of the Phoenix reunion!" James said, walking towards us with Lily.
"Yeah, I wonder who else is here?" Lily asked.
"Padfoot! You got your wings!" James suddenly cried after hugging everyone.
"No, what did you think I'd get, my pitchfork?"
"With you, you never know, Sirius!" Andy said. I glared at her.
"You'd think that for my favorite cousin, you'd act a little nicer toward me!"
"Well it's hard to act nice to an escaped convict!"
"If you really were watching me, you'd know that I was innocent!"
"Wait a minute!" James yelled. "Sirius, what's this about you being an escaped convict?"
I had no choice but to tell everyone the full story, especially from 2 years ago in the Shrieking Shack. James was immensely proud of Harry for not killing Peter Pettigrew. But he was also disgusted.
"He WHAT! Peter! That little- he- argh! The #$&!"
"James! Watch your mouth!" Lily said.
"Um, but James, if you were watching Harry and me through the pools, didn't you know that already?"
"Well actually no, we can't watch everyone all the time you know! And sometimes just seeing you in your cell in Azkaban got boring, so we stopped watching you."
"And I was only interested in seeing how good of a teacher Remus was. That and making sure Harry did well on his exams!" Lily broke in.
"Well I don't know about you, Fabian, but you guys sure weren't on my list of people to watch!"
"Yep, mine too, and wouldn't you know, we took the tests at the same time!"
"Oh yeah huh," said Gideon, looking thoughtful.
"So guys, is there anyone else here from the Order of the Phoenix?" I asked.
"Yeah, there's Marlene McKinnon, Benjy Fenwick, you really don't want to see him, um and Edgar Bones and his family, and Dorcas Meadowes. The only ones you'd probably know are Edgar and his little kids, remember they were at the Christmas party a year before they were killed?"
"Oh yeah huh," I said, remembering Edgar's cute little kids, Amy and Eddie. Then I remembered something.
"Hey! Edgar Bones! His wife is Amelia, right?" Someone nodded. "Well when Harry was on trial, Amelia Bones was the judge person! On the Wizengamot! Remember?" I said, looking over at James and Lily, who had probably watched the whole thing through the pools. They nodded. "I never realized that."
"Idea!" James cried. "Why don't we go check up on Harry now?" Lily and I nodded. "Sorry, guys, but you didn't put him on you list, so…" he said to Andy and the others. They decided to go to the pools, too, so we trooped off.
"Wow, I never realized there were so many pools!" I said.
"Yeah, well there are! And since we all put Harry on our watching list, we can watch through the same pool!" James said.
"Just be sure to get a big one, I remember how bad Sirius's breath can be!" Lily joked.
"Hey! I brushed my teeth before I- wait no I didn't, I was going upstairs to brush my teeth! Well at least I can do a Fresh-Breath Charm on myself!"
"Um, not you can't Sirius, we can't do magic in Heaven," James said as we walked around, looking for a big pool.
"What! Why not?"
"The travel brochure I read said that if you did magic, you'd automatically go blind, deaf, and mute," said Lily.
"Was there really a travel brochure?" I asked.
"Yeah, I read it while I was waiting for James to get his wings and halo," Lily replied.
"So can we actually fly with these wings?" I asked.
"Sorry, no, they're just for decoration," James said.
"Well what's the point of having them, then?"
"The brochure said something about if people come here who were religious, they would expect to get wings, so they just started handing them out. And I think they make you look better," said Lily.
"Who, me?"
"No, James, you idiot!"
"Uh guys, could we possibly look in the pool now?" James asked.
We looked down. "Harry Potter," Lily said. We immediately saw Dumbledore's office. Harry was sitting there, looking into Dumbledore's Pensieve.
"What do you think he's looking at?" I asked.
"The prophecy," James breathed.
"What prophecy?" I asked.
"The prophecy," Lily said.
"Not the prophecy?"
"Yes."
I couldn't believe it. Harry was listening to the prophecy? He was only 15! But he had gone through more than James, Lily and I had. Still, that's a lot to put on a guy's shoulders! But if Dumbledore thought it was okay to tell him, I guess it was okay to tell him.
"Hey, do you guys think Dumbledore will let him go out and fight Voldemort yet?" I asked.
"I should hope not!" Lily said angrily.
"Well he should at least start training, or learning how to duel," James said. "Do you think Mad-Eye would teach him?"
"Of course! But then he'd Apparate behind him, Stun him, revive him, then yell 'Constant Vigilance!' in his ear and make him go deaf!" I said. We all laughed.
"He's leaving," Lily said, pointing at Harry. We watched him a few more minutes, then left.
"Hey, do they serve food here?" I asked.
"Just like you Padfoot, always thinking of your stomach," James said, chuckling. "Of course they have food here, what'd you think they'd do, make us die of starvation?"
"That might be kinda hard, James, seeing as we're already dead," I said.
"Oh yeah, huh, I forgot," he admitted. Lily and I snorted.
Pleeeeeeeeeeez tell me you liked it! And review! Sorry I haven't updated for so long, writer's block stinks! 1231 words, good, bad, ok, tell me! I try to do at least 1000 words a chapter. Is that good, bad, ok, tell me! Review! And I really don't know if Sirius knows about the prophecy, but he will for these purposes. Yay
