Attn: This chapter is dedicated to Harry's Birthday. Happy birthday Harry!

Harry and Sirius landed in a small office like environment. Harry stood up, and looked around. It was the oddest office he had ever been in. There were pictures scattered all over the walls, under each one there was a caption done on a piece of gold. Harry thought he was imaging something, for the people in the pictures were moving around.

"Sirius," came an old croaky voice from a raised platform, where a large desk sat. All around was bookshelves. The oddest part was the brightly colored bird, which was perched upon the desk. "I see you made it in time," an elderly man with a long white beard, and wearing mauve robes, padded down the steps to where the pair stood.

"And this must be young Harry." He stated getting closer to the pair. How did this man know his name? The bird that was perched on the desk, got off, and flew over to Harry, then settled himself on Harry's shoulder.

"I see, that Fawkes has taken a liking to you," the elderly man stated, quite amused.
The man was now in front of the two, "you are just as I remember you. You look just like your Father," he gave Harry's hair a pat, "but you have your Mother's eyes." Harry hated to ask any questions but he wanted to know, he had to know. "Excuse me sir, but did you know my parents?" Harry kept his gaze down towards the floor. "Oh yes, brightest people I've ever known, now let's settle down, in these comfy chairs." Harry looked at the spot they were standing on, there were no chairs, just a ragged looking rug with a insignia of a lion, a snake with it's tongue sticking out, a badger, and a raven. On the top, a banner read 'Hogwarts, on the bottom was the words

Draco dormiens nanquam titillandus. The man took out a stick, and waved it, three chairs came completely out of nowhere, Harry climbed onto the one closest to him. "Now for introductions, my name is Ablus Dumbledore, and this," he pointed to the shabbily dressed man sitting in the chair next to him, "is Sirius Black." Harry nodded; these men seemed interesting, and almost familiar, a little bit too familiar. A knock sounded from the door, "come in!" Dumbledore yelled.

In walked a man all dressed in all black, his hair hung in strands by his face.
"Good afternoon Head Master." The man curtly said, walking over to the where the trio sat.

"Good Afternoon Serverus, how is the teaching going?" Albus waved his wand, and another chair magically appeared right beside Harry. "Come sit." Serverus walked over, and sat down on the chair.

Serverus's black eyes settled on Sirius, "so Black is here, I never knew you took murderers out of Askaban."

"Now, now, Serverus we have discussed this many times, I did it because I needed someone to get young Harry, also Peter has been caught alive, and is going into court next week."

"I know," Serverus rudely replied.

Harry squirmed in his chair, causing one of his old cuts to reopen. Harry couldn't help but he cried out in pain. All eyes were on him, "I thought I just saw a spider." Harry quickly replied, making up a quick reply. The truth was Harry was used to spiders, they were in great abundance in his cupboard.

"I don't believe you Potter." Serverus declared, he got up and walked over to Harry's chair. Harry sank back into the chair as he noticed Serverus's menacing figure coming towards him. All of a sudden Harry broke out, he had now curled up into a ball, and was yelling. "No please stop! Please I'll be good! I don't want to go back into the cupboard it's dark and scary in there!" Serverus stopped dead in his tracks.

"Harry I'm not going to hurt you," Serverus said to him softly, kneeling down to look at the boy. Five minutes later Harry had finally calmed down, and was sipping a glass of tea under the careful watch of Sirius. Dumbledore had business he had to attend to, and Serverus had class. "How could I do this to you, how could we leave you with them bloody Muggles," Sirius softly muttered under his breath, unfortunately Harry heard. "What did you say Mr. Black?" Harry asked. "Harry," Sirius looked his godson in the eye, "call me Padfoot." Padfoot that name, it seemed almost linked to something.

Flashback

Harry had been kicked out of the Dursleys again. Unfortunately the young six year old was used to this. Harry looked up at the night sky, the stars were really beautiful tonight, Harry sat for a moment mesmerized by the canvas of stars before him. He quickly located his favorite star, Sirius, the Dog Star. "Some day, I know you will come and rescue me." Harry closed his eyes, "whenever that day comes, I just hope my angel will be kind."

End Flashback

Serverus was sitting at his desk marking papers. He scowled and wrote a huge F on the paper. Seriously where did these people get these answers? His office door opened, and in strode Dumbledore. He sat down in the chair that was in front of Serverus' desk that was usually reserved for students.

Serverus went to work marking the last paper, this one was a tad better, Serverus gave it a D. Serverus put away his red ink, and quill. He turned to Dumbledore, "what can I do for you?"

"I need a calming potion, and a weak truth potion. " Dumbledore eyes glanced over to the bookshelves behind Serverus which held many potions. Serverus stood up, grabbed a couple bottles off the shelf, and he handed them to Dumbledore.

"These are for the Potter boy aren't they?" Serverus asked. "Yes, Sirius and I think that he may have been abused, you say he has been living with Lucius for the last couple of days?"

Serverus nodded. "Last time we checked Lucius was an active Death Eater."

"He stopped being one after his wife died," Serverus said, standing up for his best friend, the only friend that he ever had during his school years.

"I know that." "If you wanted to know, I'd say it was those Muggles that he lives with."

Dumbledore stood up, "Well I'm not taking your word for it, but I'll be visiting the Dursleys. Thanks for the potions." Without another word Dumbledore left the puzzled Snape to his work.
