Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, though I wish I did.
A/N: Sorry about the wait, but I don't have anytime, except for sometimes on the weekends. For the past 6 weeks, I've been taking an acting program at the Burnell School, called Arts for Teens. I go there from 9am to 4pm, then when I get home, I have to clean and do the dishes. So I'm finally getting around to it because I'm at my Grandma's house all day. Oh yeah, I decided to work with some of the fifth book, but Sirius wont die.
Chapter 3:
Harry sat on the top of the building, staring off in to space. My father actually survived the attack, how could that be, everyone thought he was dead. Harry sat in silence, but just as the sun started to rise over the horizon, he thought, And why did he leave me behind?
Harry sighed and clambered onto his broom and flew back home, careful to hide himself in the fluffy clouds, far from the view of muggles. When he reached his uncle's house, he flew in his window and lay down in his bed. No one would be up for a long time, not to mention that the family had long ago learned not to screw around with him, thanks to Sirius.
A soft hoot came from the window. Harry sat up and beckoned his owl over, she glided over and landed on his arm. "Hey Hedwig. Catch anything good last night?" He grinned when she opened her beak to show him the remnants of a mouse's tail. Harry stroked her feathers softly as she finished eating the rest of the mouse.
Hedwig nipped Harry's ear before flying onto her perch and going to sleep. Harry picked up his Potions book, but after 15 minutes of reading, he was sleeping, his book resting upon his chest.
Crack! The sound of someone apparating violently woke the sleeping teen, he leapt out of bed and grabbed his wand, just in case. He made his way downstairs, only to hear the a few more loud cracks. Petunia, Vernon, and Dudley were huddled in the corner. "Don't answer it, boy!" Vernon snapped, but he quickly recoiled at a glare from Harry.
His wand still at the ready, he made his way over to the door and peered through the glass. Outside, stood five wizards, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Fred and George Weasley, and a short witch with long black hair with electric blue streaks running through it.
"Remus! Sirius! Fred! George! It's great to see you guys!" Harry hugged his godfather and Remus, then turned to shake hands with Fred and George. He looked over at the short witch, "Tonks?" He asked cautiously.
She laughed, "Nope, I'm her insane sister, Christopher Tonks. But, if you'd like to live, call me Chris, not Chrissy, Chris. Like dear Nymphadora, I'm also a metamorphmagus thing. I can never say that word right."
Remus leaned over, "You just did." He whispered.
"I did? Cool." Chris laughed.
Harry took the moment of awkward silence to ask a question. "Chris?"
"Yep." She said.
"Why do you have a boys name?" He asked.
"Oh, that. Well, mother dearest wanted a boy and a girl, so Nymphadora got the weirdo girls name, and I got the boys name. But I'd rather have people know that Chris is short for Christopher, than have them assume that it's short for Christina or something girly like that."
"Okay, err.thanks." Harry stuttered.
Remus cut in, "Harry, I'm sorry, but Dumbledore requires that you come to Hogwarts immediately. It is no longer safe for you here. After you see Dumbledore, we will go to HQ. Okay?"
Harry nodded, "I'll go get my stuff." He ran upstairs and within five minutes had returned with his trunk. "Ready." He said and pulled out his wand.
Sirius nodded, "Good, Fred, George, you take the trunk, we'll be on broomsticks again. Harry, you should wear your cloak there."
Harry nodded again. He opened his trunk and pulled out the invisibility cloak. The twins looked at it longingly before Harry swung it over his shoulders, making all but his head invisible. "I'm ready." He nodded at the group.
"Right." Sirius said, "Now, to the broomsticks." He walked two feet outside the door, then returned with six broomsticks in hand.
"You sure had to walk for a while to get those, Sirius." George commented to the ex-prisoner.
"Yes, it was a hard and long journey, full of dangerous creatures. Like that rock there." He pointed as the rest of the group laughed.
By now, Vernon had decided to pit his temper against the group of fully armed wizards and witch. Bad idea. "I-I command to remove yourselves from this house this instant." He stuttered as a round of glaring magic users towered over his huddled form.
"Excuse me, Mr. Dursely, but I didn't quite catch what you just said." Chris glared. Vernon squeaked, his courage falling into a rapid decrease. "That's what I thought." She said in a satisfied manner.
"Excellent job, cousin. Now, are you lot ready to go?" Sirius asked his companions.
"A chorus of 'yeahs' came from the group, "Delightful, let's be off." Sirius tossed a broomstick to each person. "Harry, I'll take your trunk for you." Sirius shrunk Harry's luggage down untill it could fit in his pocket.
The six people headed out into the backyard and took off after a quick disillusionment charm preformed by Remus. They flew over Surry for a bit, each person emerged in their own thoughts. Harry's thoughts had long ago wandered away to the subject on his father's survival. He was currently thinking about whether or not he should tell Sirius and Remus and what effect the news would have on the two. After a while of contemplation, he decided that he should inform them of this new twist.
He flew over to Sirius and Remus and removed the hood of his cloak so that only his head was visible. "Hey, Sirius, Remus, can I talk to you guys for a minute." He asked quietly.
"Sure." The two said and they flew off to the side to join Harry. "What is it?" They asked him.
"Well, first of all, brace yourselves, this could be quite shocking." Harry began.
"Aw, come on, Harry, nothing could surprise us." Sirius joked.
"My dad's alive." He said quietly, Sirius nearly fell off of his broom, while Remus, who had braced himself, was still seated firmly on his broomstick.
"What?!" Sirius sputtered, "Harry, I'm sorry, but are you on crack?" He asked.
"I am most certainly not! And my dad's alive." He stated.
"Harry." Remus asked softly, "How did you find that out?"
"Well, earlier today this odd little voice came into my head and introduced itself as Godric Gryffindor." He stated.
The two men nodded, "James always did say that he had this odd little voice in his head." Remus said.
"Now we know that James wasn't loony." Sirius grinned, he received two irritated glares as an answer. "Excuse me." He muttered.
"Well, he told me that my dad was alive and that I would be meeting him later this year." Harry continued, "However, you can't tell anyone about this. I want to make sure that everyone we know can be completely trusted.
(All of a sudden, Sirius pulled off his face to reveal that of LORD VOLDEMORT! "Bwahaha" He cried, "NOW I SHALL TRIUMPH!" He yelled as he sped off at a whopping .5 miles per hour. A/N: Just kidding ^__^.)
"Right, Harry." The two nodded, then they all rejoined the group after Harry had pulled up the hood of his cloak. The rest of the ride was fairly uneventful, apart from the new tricks Harry was able to try due to his invisibility.
A/N: I'm soooooo sorry that this is so short, but it's just that I haven't updated in so long and I wanted to throw something out there. I promise that I'll have a longer chapter next time. Gomen nasai.
