I'm back with the third chapter. I'm thinking about bringing Sirius back, but I'm not sure. I don't know. But review if you want him back. Once I get 10 review voting for Sirius back, I'll make the next chapter all about him. I can't garauntee that he'll make it out so quickly.

Chapter 3: The Marauders Olympus

Harry gawked as he stood in front of the massive golden gates. There was an entire procession before him, lining both sides of the stairway of clouds. At the top, he saw his parents as they were in his photo album. To their left was a bulky man with a bushy white blonde beard and a woman with slightly pink skin and dark brown hair with mild magenta streaks. On his parents right were Athena and Apollo in all their glowing glory.

The demi-god rushed up the stairs and into Lily's embrace. "Welcome home, my son," she whispered softly. She stood back and took in her son's appearance. "Very much like James when he was your age. Happy Birthday, Harry."

The cheering was immense as silver powder showered down on him from the bulky man. He could only guess that that was his great-grandfather. The other gods and goddesses crowded him in a huge group hug, one of their own had returned to them. Harry absorbed all the love and was eager for more, he finally had a family.

He suddenly remembered something. "Oops. I forgot to give Uncle Vernon his voice back."

Lily smiled at him. "Don't worry. Your powers are still a bit weak. Once you left, he could speak again."

"Will I learn to teleport soon, so that I can come here on holidays?"

"Sure thing, Pronglet." James clapped a hand on his son's back. "I want you to meet the Marauders Olympus." He led Harry to two people chatting aimlessly. The boy looked to be Harry's age with sun-blonde hair and tan skin. He wore a white tunic like Apollo. The girl had light brown hair in a half-bun. both had mischievious blue eyes. "This one is Eros, or Pegasus. The girl's Thalia, Sphynx. Of course you can guess that I'm Prongs. We need a fourth member, how 'bout it, son? I'll even teach you how to be an animagus."

"Really?!"

"James Mathew Potter! You're still about the Maruaders!" Lily scolded. "When will you grow up and act your age?"

"Never, my dear, I'm an innocent child at heart."

"Innocent my goddess! You have Hades's favor."

"Not my fault he enjoys my pranks. I swear he's like Albus."

"Mum, can you stop bickering with Dad?"

"Sorry, Harry. Please forgive your father for his immaturity."

"But I wanna learn how to be an animagus."

"Listen to the boy, Lils. Please let me teach him?"

Lily crumbled under the twin hurt puppy looks. "Oh alright, Harry, you can learn how to become an animagus. So long as you learn how to responsible with it."

"Yes, mum!"

"Let's get started then. C'mon, Pegasus, Sphynx! We're gonna get my boy an animagus form."

"Yes! Marauders Olympus is now complete!" Eros cheered.

"Welcome to the club, Harry. I know this great place on Earth that is the perfect place to teach magic and your powers," Thalia suggested.

"Right. Harry, we'll go before you and you concentrate on our energy signatures, you should recognize them immediately. You should end up right near us." The Trio vanished with lights and a small pop.

Harry closed his eyes and thought on his dad's signature. Right....there! Harry was gone in gold and red light. When he opened his eyes, he was being hugged by James.

"Good job! You passed one of your tests. Congrats!"



"Wow, two in one day."

The Marauders Olympus gawked at him. "You passed two already?! Why didn't Apollo and Athena tell us?"



"I can't believe you passed two tests already." James shook his head in disbelief, then grinned. "It's gotta be the Gryffindor blood and God blood. Two of the most noble bloods in history."

"You mean I'm descended from Godric Gryffindor?"

"Yep, a direct descendant. We lost the name Gryffindor about five hundred years back when Adelade Gryffindor was born, quite odd since she's the only female heir of Gryffindor ever, she married Alastor Henry Potter. Ever since then, theirs been only a male Potter child. Let's get to teaching you about animagi powers."

"Animagi have the ability to transform into one animal that is then know as their familiar. Animagi are only gods or powerful witches or wizards that have managed to take the form of their familiar. My familiar is the sphynx because I am the Muse of comedy and like to ask riddles. Only gods or those with the blood of the gods have the chance to have mythical creatures as their familiar."

"Becoming an Animagus is very difficult and dangerous for humans and that is why they have to be registered by the Ministry of Magic of their country. For gods, it only requires deep meditation and a clear head. It is relatively easy for them because their magic is 100 times that of an ordinary wizard or witch. My animagus form is the pegasus because I enjoy my freedom."

"That is about all there is to know about how to become an animagus. My animagus is the stag because I am protective of my friends and loved ones. Now that you know how to become an animagus, do it."

Harry smiled at James impatience and sat down on the grassy plain. Sphynx was right about it being the perfect practice area. He crossed his legs and closed his eyes, feeling the soft breeze pass through his unruly hair. Harry left his mind blank and a soft, melodic song filled his ears. He recognized it because it was the same one Fawkes would often trill. Now, Harry understood it for what it was, a prayer to the Pheonix God. His vision was flooded with white as Harry saw a large pheonix, much larger than Fawkes, fly towards him in his mind's eye. The pheonix was a beautiful iridecent white that reflected the sunlight. Harry knew in that instant, this was his familiar, the Pheonix God, the ruling Pheonix.

Harry opened his eyes and saw his father, Eros, and Thalia staring at him in awe. Looking at himself, he saw the reason of their staring. He had become the Pheonix. Not just any pheonix, but The Pheonix. He spread his glossy wings gleefully and took off, soaring through the air current. It was exhilerating with wings and not a measley broomstick.



The demi-god-turned-pheonix stumbled slightly as he saw where exactly they were. The Burrow wasn't even that far away. Harry dove back down into the foliage to avoid any of the Weasleys from seeing him. He returned to the Marauders Olympus and with a thought, was back to his old self.

"That was so wicked! The Burrow isn't even to far from here, can we go visit, please Dad?!"

"Of course we can go. I haven't seen Arthur in years. Lead the way."

"YES! C'mon, Thal, Er!" The quartet was running through the grove of trees by Harry's insistence. Being gods and two fit Quidditch players, they made it without losing any breath. Thalia and Eros just stared at the crooked house oddly.

"There's no way that doesn't have magic holding it up," Thalia muttered.

"No kidding, Sphynx."

Harry ran up to the door and knocked. One of the twins answered. "Hullo, Harry, whatchu doin' here? Come for some jokes?"

"Sorry, Fred or George, but no. Hmm, I think we could use some though. What d'ya think guys?"

Thalia, Eros and James huddled up and started to "discuss" the situation. "You bet. Have anything that could rival what the Marauders Olympus can think up?" Thalia asked, playing serious.

"The Marauders?! We are not worthy of your presence!" George/Fred shouted as he came in and got on his knees.

"We are the Marauders Olympus, revised since the original Marauders were disbanded on unfriendly terms. Prongs."

"Sphynx."

"Pegasus."

"And Pheonix." Harry finished.

"Who said Marauders? Is that Harry?" Ron came onto the scene.

"Aye, Ron. Meet Eros, Thalia, and my dad, James."

"Harry, aren't your parents dead? This could be an imposter!"

"Thought of it already. He's not."

"I'd appreaciate it if you didn't speak about me as if I wasn't here."

"Aw, is little Jamesie gonna cry?" Eros teased.



"I believe he is, dear cousin." Thalia joined in.

"If Apollo were here, he'd stick up for me."

"No I wouldn't!" Everyone's attention turned away from the teasing session to see Apollo standing there. "C'mon, Zues and Hera are having a fit about you staying here too long and Lily's sparring Ares, again. Poor Athe, I don't think she'll get to blow of some steam today."

"Coming, Grandfather. See you guys at school. I know I'll most likely have a lot of answering to do. Bye," Harry and the others were gone in flashes of different lights and a single pop.

Done. Now, should Sirius come back from the dead? Once I get 10 reviews saying so, I'll make the next chapter all him and what it's like behing the veil. Again, I can't assure you that he'll make it out in that chapter, but I will do my best to get Siruis out of there.

Siruis: *behind veil* *muffled* Please. Help. There's dementors everywhere. HELP!!

Don't worry, Siri, I'm sure your adoring fans won't abandon you. Bye.
