Fatherly Love chapter 3

Harry sat there on the floor for what seemed like an eternity. Crying into himself, unable to stop the continued flow of hot tears, and emotional turmoil that he was going through at that moment.

How could this be? Why now? Again, please not again, not with my son.

"Harry" called someone from far away. "Harry, its ok, will find him, come-on, come, sit down, everything will be fine, ok" Harry felt himself being moved off the hard stone floor of the cottage and placed onto the nearby sofa, glad at least that he was more comfortable. "Harry I'm just going to see if they know where they have gone, ok, I'll be back in a minute, ok" When Harry didn't answer her, Ginny looked towards the nearest Auror, "Will you watch him and make sure he's alright while I'm gone?" The Auror nodded his head and sat opposite Harry in the arm chair.

Harry sat there on the sofa, with his hands in his black, unruly hair, unaware of what was happening around him, willing it all not to be true.

It was so helpful of you to run of to work on this day and leave your son unprotected

Harry closed his eyes, unable to take it. If only he had stayed at home, if only work hadn't called him in, all of this would have been prevented.

Feeling tears brimming in his eyes again, he buried his head in is hands to prevent those around him form seeing him cry.

"Harry, oh dear Harry, I'm so sorry", came the concerned voice of the minister of magic. Lifting his head slightly he saw the look of Concern on Denise's face. Watching her as she Keeled down in front of him, she pulled him into a hug and then sat down next to him.

"Harry I am so sorry, we have tracked there movement, but they seem to have gone back to your 5th year at Hogwarts,". Denise looked at him with concern written all over her features. Seeing that he was still in a state of shock she went over and spoke to Ginny. "What do you recon we should do Ginny?" Turning to her, "Call Ron and Hermione, they have always been able to help him". At first Denis looked shocked at the simplicity of the idea, yes if anyone could help Harry, it was them. Nodding to Ginny, Denise left the broken down cottage.

Severus sat in his office, deep down in the quite darkness of the dungeon, in which he called home. His head down, he could be seen scribbling away on pieces of parchment, muttering to himself. "Stupid, incompetent fools, they (Harry, Ron, Neville) couldn't tell the difference between a properly made potion and dirty water" he said, while scribbling a huge F on Neville's potion bottle

Putting it down by the others, he went to pick up Hermione Grangers potion, when a terrible burning sensation ripped through his arm. Grabbing his arm, Severus tried to contain the scream that was threatening to come out. Once the pain had died down a little, Severus looked at his arm in confusion. It was only the previous night that the Dark Lord had summoned him, usually he gave them a few days break. Feeling that it must be something important, Severus jumped up from his seated position and made his way towards the headmasters office.

Harry sat on his new sofa, back at his house, holding one of Sirius toys. How could I have let this happen? Why was I not here? Why can't I just have a normal life for me and Sirius? Harry's thoughts drifted in and out of this circle of despair, unaware of the new people that had just entered his home.

"Just bloody typical, here we are, having travelled especially from our boring old jobs to help our old friend kick some more arse, and he just doesn't even give us a hug, bloody typical"

Harry looked up at the familiar voice and found himself reunited with his two best friends. Smiling slightly, Harry allowed both of his mates to envelop him and a tight hug. He had missed this closeness with his friends for the last year or so, when there own lives took off. Hermione was now the top nurse at St Mungo's and Ron was the assistant manager of the Chudley Cannons.

He had no idea how they knew about what had happened only four hours ago, How could they have known, suddenly it didn't matter, he was deeply moved that they were still there for him, no matter what.

"It's alright Harry, were here", said Hermione, gently into his ear, "were going to get Sirius back for you ok, were going to help get him back".

Harry, finding the comfort of his friends just too moving, Broke down in tears once again and buried himself in the embrace.

"Shhh mate, its ok, we'll get Sirius back, don't worry" Harry pulled out of the embrace but stayed close to them. Wiping away tears from his eyes he finally greeted them. "Ah god its good to see you guys again, thanks for coming".

Ron and Hermione nodded at there best friend. Finally moving apart, each taking a seat, pleasantries over with, Hermione got down to business. "Alright then Harry, what's happened, who's got Sirius?"

Looking over at the concerned and determined faces of his best friends, he began to tell them everything.

Albus Dumbledore stood up from his seat behind his desk and walked towards the window. He had been thinking hard about what Voldemort's plan could be, and had not had any luck with cracking it. He had hoped that whatever was happening could be fixed. Suddenly the door of his office swung open, without a knock and in strolled Severus, looking slightly paler than usual. "Headmaster, he is calling me".

Albus strolled over to him feeling concerned. "that was a little quicker than usual, is there any danger for you?" Severus sneered at the headmaster, even through he was in pain. "No I don't think so, there is nothing he could have picked up on, it must be something important, I'll see what I can find out about this secret plan of his".

Severus then turned and walked out of Dumbledore's office. "Be careful," said the headmaster, even through his potions master had already left.

Once Harry had finished telling his two best friends the whole story on the attack, Harry was almost, again close to tears. Watching his two best friends reactions. Ron with his look of horror and shock, and Hermione with her look of fear and sympathy.

They sat like that in silence for a long time before any of them spoke.

Finally after what seemed like hours, Hermione finally asked. "So do we have a plan?" Harry shook his head. "There is no way that we can go back in time, all those time-turners are banned from most states now, and no-one has been able to use them for years".

"But Harry you don't know that for sure" said Ron, whom was looking down at his friend in confusion. Why wasn't Harry fighting for his son? Where's the hero gone?

"The ministry would obviously allow you to use a time-tuner, I mean this is a desperate situation, you have no choice but to use one"

Harry shook his head again, feeling miserable and useless. "Even if we could get hold of them, Voldemort has my son, he's not going to allow my boy to live, he would have killed him just to spite me"

Ron and Hermione looked at each other completely confused by their friends behaviour. They had never seen him so down or so willing to give up.

"It's over, I've just lost my son….I won't be getting him back" Harry once again tired to fight the tears and fear within him. Never had he felt so useless before.

Unable to take Harry's self torment, Hermione finally had enough. "HARRY JAMES POTTER, I have had enough of your self pity, this is your son were talking about, your son, you have beaten Voldemort once before, so you can do it again" still furious she continued.

"What happened to the brave hero that got through all those dangerous times? Harry, you need to stop this, Sirius is counting on you, he needs a strong dad to fight for him, so stop being such a fucking cry baby and go fight for your son."

Harry looked up, slightly shocked by the outburst from Hermione. He had forgotten how pissed-off she could get. But how could he fight for him? He was not the same person.

I have to be, he thought to himself, for my son I have to be.

Finally feeling more determined and brave, Harry Nodded his head before getting up and to think of a plan.

"Right ok then, first we have to get permission to use the time-turners, Ginny could you go and get Denise to allow us three time-turners, I don't care what she or anyone else says, we need them"

Ginny smiled up at Harry, happy that he was now taking action, before moving over to the fire and flooing to the ministry.

"Once we've got them, we can go and get my son back".

Ron and Hermione smiled up at him reassuringly. Patting Harry on the shoulder, Ron said "That's it Harry, well get those time-turners and be back in the 5th year as soon as my sister come back…..,mmmmm, oh the joy of seeing Unbridge again"

Laughing a little at that, Harry, Ron and Hermione waited for Ginny to come back with the time-turners.

Severus felt himself land on some hard stone flooring in a dark and musty room. Looking around he was greeted by many other death eaters. With a quick jot of his head to all acknowledgements, he walked over to his position and waited.

This was the room in which Voldemort held his meetings. It was large and circular, with many doors leading to different areas of wickedness. There were no windows within, which made the place feel damp and cold and the only light sources were that of wall lanterns and the Lumos spell.

All around him, he could hear other Death eaters talking fast. "yes I know that Ratchoff, but what is it that Lucius has done that makes the dark lord so Happy? I don't know Crabbe, but Lucius has been poncing about all over the place, seems to think himself above all others now"

Severus didn't have the chance to hear what the other was going to say as the dark, double doors at the far side of the room suddenly flew open and in walked the man himself, Voldemort. Seating himself on his throne, he turned towards his death eaters.

"Ah my fellow servants, come forth, I shall now tell you of my secret plans" Moving forward, Severus noticed that the Dark Lord looked particularly pleased with something. Feeling dread swell up in him, he listened intently to his masters words.

"Servants, for a long time now, I have been working on an ingenious plan, in order to make sure that Harry Potter gets what he deserves, but since each attempt to kill him has failed I have had to re-think and work out a more painful strategy for him to endure".

He paused at this, amusing himself with there looks of interest.

"I asked my most trusted servant, Lucius, to go forward in time, and find out who, in the end still lives, and he found that Potter still lives"

Pausing again, he saw that many of his faithful servants were annoyed at this.

"However, he also noticed that he was not alone. He lived with someone whom he cares for dearly, WORMTAIL!"

Severus looked up towards the double doors that Voldemort had entered through and saw Wormtail, nervously drag something into the room, Although he was unable to see whom it was since Wormtail was in the way he could imagine whom it was. Is it his girlfriend, or one of his mates, who could it be?

"My dear servants, feast your eyes on Potters only love, HIS SON"

Wormtail finally out of the way, Severus saw with shock, that a boy of no more than 5 years old stood in front of Voldemort, looking completely terrified and a lot like his father. The only Potter relation.

Harry's Son Sirius.

Sorry about the long wait, I don't like putting new chapters on hold.

So what do you think? Lots of Reviews please

I know Harry's is a cry baby in this, but he gradually gets back to his old self.

Promise!
