It was mid-morning, late July and a malnourished, abused, and hated fifteen year old boy was sitting alone in his room. The lights were off, the shades were drawn, and no one cared enough to make sure this young man was even alive. This young man's name was Harry Potter, the savior of the Wizarding World.
He hadn't eaten in nearly a week, his face was bloodied, and his body broken and bruised. He heard the clomping of large feet up the stairs, he knew all too well who's feet those belonged to, they were his uncle Vernon's. Vernon was a large man by whale standards, and he had a temper to go with it.
Harry knew that if Vernon was mad he wouldn't survive the next round of beatings. So he curled up into a ball waiting to for worst, when the foot steps stopped in front of his room the door was unlocked and Harry saw the one single person he never thought he'd see again standing next to his uncle.
"Sirius!" Harry tried to shout, however was unable do to the choking he received the previous day, so it came out as a raspy whisper instead.
The man known to be dead and now standing in front of Harry turned his head glaring at the whale of a man still beside the doorway. He got up walked toward Vernon and reached back with a fist and hit Vernon squarely between the eyes.
Vernon not knowing what to expect and quiet frightened of the escaped prisoner now standing in his house, simply had no control over his body to try to duck or avoid the punch, and so was simply knocked unconscious falling to the floor with a great thud.
Sirius rushed back to Harry picking his godson up in his arms and held the beaten son of his best friends for what seemed to be hours, sobbing the whole while.
Later that evening Harry had regained enough strength to try to explain what was going on with his relatives.
"Sirius, I can't believe you're here, I saw you fell through the veil, How are you back? I just don't understand. In any case I'm just glad your back." Harry said in-between his sobs..
"Harry, that wasn't me who fell through the veil, I don't know who it was, but there are some important things we need to speak of." Sirius noted.
Harry nodded.
"You see Harry, Albus has kept me prisoner since about two weeks before you went to the Ministry. I was held at his estate that was well warded. He had a house elf keep me alive 'barely'. A few days ago I ended up killing the elf and made my way out of the place to find you. He's evil Harry you need to watch out for him." Sirius finished.
At that moment with a brilliant flash of light a red phoenix popped into view and landed on the edge of the chair at Harry's desk.
"Fawkes? What are you doing here, did the old bastard send you here?" Harry asked.
The bird shook his head in a answer of "no".
Then a voice from out of nowhere spoke.
"Harry, we need to leave Albus is frustrated that Sirius has escaped and he's checking everywhere. Gather your things and I will take you to a place that is safe."
Harry looked around, not knowing where the voice came from.
"Sirius did you just hear that?" Harry asked.
"All I heard what the song of that bird Harry" Sirius replied.
"Harry, I spoke to you it is I Fawkes."
"Fawkes just said he spoke to me" Harry said looking at the bird. "He says we have to leave. He says that Dumbledore is on his way searching for you." Harry said.
"Ok, pack your things I'll get the Dursley's." Sirius noted.
Harry spud around with a questioning look on his face.
"Why do you need to get them?" Harry asked.
"There's no time to explain now, but when we are gone I'll explain everything." Sirius said.
With that Harry packed his things and soon after waking Vernon they all gathered around and held onto Fawkes's tail and left Privot Drive. What they didn't know is that they would never come back.
They arrived at a Castle deep in a wooded mountain area moments later.
"Where are we?" Vernon grunted.
"Tell whale man that we are in one of your families castles, it is unplotable and hidden well, no one can find us here." Fawkes told Harry.
Harry looked that the group before him and explained where they were.
Minutes later they entered the castle only to se a familiar face waiting for them at the front doors.
"Dobby? What are you doing here?" Harry asked astonished that the elf had been waiting for him.
"Harry Potter Sir, Dobby be waiting for you not long only a week after cleaning here, yes much cleaning needed to be done. Dumblydors bird tells Dobby that you's needing Castle cleaned so I's do it. I's left Hogwarts with 30 other house elves to come join you." The proud standing house elf noted.
"Look you lot we can talk all year, but for now lets get inside." Sirius said.
After finding there rooms and settling in they all converged into a smaller dining hall to have tea.
After tea was served, Harry needed to get some answers on why they brought his relatives along.
"Ok Sirius time to spill, why did you insist we bring my relatives?" Harry asked.
Sirius knew this was coming out tonight, so he began telling the story.
"You see Harry, things are not what they appear to be. Your blood here, don't actually hate you. See well Albus put them under the imperious curse the night he left you with them. He wanted to have complete control over you, so he made sure he was the one you turned to in need. When I broke out of prison he knew that you'd turn to me, so he effectively got rid of me. This whole time they have actually cared a great deal for you." Sirius finished.
Harry was dumbstruck.
"There's more Harry, Petunia and Vernon are not muggles. They are wizards. Albus almost used a curse on them to strip them of there powers for a set amount of time." Sirius put in.
If the previous statement wasn't enough this surely took the cake for Harry.
Harry got up strode over to his aunt and uncle, pulling out his wand looking very angry. His aunt and uncle sat there in terror of what was going to happen to them.
Harry raised his wand high began a downwards motion ready to sound out the incantation on his breath when Sirius yelled.
"Harry don't!".
Harry ignored it gathering all his magic up ready to release it, and with on final downward motion he yelled out.
"FINITE INCANTATUM"
There was a brilliant flash of pure white light.
When the light receded, the Dursley's were unconscious.
Harry stood there beads of sweat running down his face.
Sirius, look upon the scene awe struck, he'd never seen that kind of power before.
"Sorry Harry I thought you might be thinking to finish them off or something." Sirius softly spoke.
"Dobby!" Harry called.
"Yes Harry Potter Sir?" Dobby popped in next to Harry.
"Could you please get my aunt, uncle and cousin to bed?" Harry asked.
Dobby nodded. Moments later the Dursley's were tucked away in bed.
Harry turned to Sirius a look of confusion and sadness on his face.
"I think I'll go to bed now." Was all Harry said then turned and walked out to his own room.
Sirius did so himself a few minutes later. All the while saying to himself.
"I hope Albus knows what he's gotten himself into, that boy is very powerful."
