So i'm still sick! Shocking i know! Any way this next chapter has taken me for ever to write and here is where you all will either hate me or love me. Your choice!
"Harry get down here!" Sirius yelled as his godson who was now six came running down the stairs.
It had been a year since the two had made it to America and started their new life for now and because or Remus they had not had any troubles as of yet from the ministry. Though they started off on a rough patch both Sirius and Harry took to each other like fish in water. Sirius even found a job as police officer..
Harry meanwhile was enjoying his time in school. Hermione had quickly become his friend well more like Harry her protector. Hermione was just like Harry remembered, a know it all who really did know it all. Most of the other kids made fun of her and though she never openly played with Harry he took it as his mission to make sure no one messed with her. For this Sirius received many a phone calls that though Sirius did give Harry small punishments for it he secretly cheered Harry on.
Over the year they had become good friends with the Grangers. Not only because Harry was such an avid defended of Hermione but Jane Granger seemed to get along quite well with Sirius.
"What?" Harry asked, still half asleep, it was a Saturday and he wanted to sleep in.
"Come on, go get dressed. We're going to the zoo with the Grangers today." Sirius said as Harry turned around to go get dressed.
So many things had changed for him in just a year. Some times he even forget he was really 17. He kept this a secret for many reasons. One of the main ones being it would be to much to explain and he knew Sirius would have questions. To add to that Harry knew some things would have to play out like they had to, no matter how much it pained him.
"Ready junior?" Sirius asked, holding Harry's coat out for him.
"Yup Uncle Snuffles." Harry said with an evil smirk, it annoyed Sirius as much as being called, sport, kiddo and junior annoyed him.
They left the house and walked across the street to the Grangers house. Sirius knocked and Allen pulled the door open.
"Ah Orion perfect timing." Allen said allowing them in.
"Devlin, Hermione is in her room." Allen said to Harry who left the two older man in search of Hermione where he found her in her room. She was laying on her bed, a book probed up on her knees, her hair covering her face.
"Hey Hermione." Harry said.
"Hi Devlin." Hermione replied as she turned the page.
Harry climbed up onto the bed and silently watched as Hermione continued to read. He had tried many times to talk to her, get some kind of conversation started but she rather enjoyed her books more then to the person to person conversation.
About an hour later Jane Granger called the kids and soon they where all piled into the Granger's van and where on their way to the zoo. Harry mental told himself to stay away from the snakes, the last thing he needed was Sirius and the Grangers knowing he can speak to snakes.
Arriving at the Zoo was a grand affair, Sirius bought both Hermione and him cotton candy which Hermione politely thank him but then gave it to Harry. "It will rot my teeth!" the little girl declared.
Walking around they saw all different kinds of animals, though Harry's favorite had to be the lion and he hated to see it caged up. It looked like such a proud animal that he felt it was just wrong. He was surprised to find that Hermione favorite animal had seemed to be red fox. Harry wondered if that had to with anything in the future for the foxes fur looked to him like Weasley red.
By the end of the day as the sun started to set the group started packing up and heading to the can when both Sirius and Harry stopped, a mask of fear on their faces.
"Hurry! Get into the van!" Sirius said, picking up Harry and Hermione and getting then into the car. Jane and Allen where right behind both confused.
"Just trust me we need to," but Sirius got nothing else out as the area got darker, ugly creatures in long black cloaks coming hauntingly towards the van.
"ALLEN STEP ON IT!" Jane yelled as Allen complied.
"Dementors," both Jane and Sirius whispered.
"How do you?" they both said at the same time as suddenly a loud bang and the car started to steer off the road till they crashed into a tree.
"Is every one alright?" Jane asked, turning to the children who both nodded, she turned to Allen who wasn't moving.
"Allen! Allen! CHRISTOPHER!" Jane yelled but Allen didn't move.
"He's dead." Sirius said sadly, he had liked the bloke.
"No! No he can't be." Jane said.
"Listen," Sirius said grabbing her and knowing he was going to sound insensitive, "we need to go unless we want to join him. I'll grab my kid you grab yours and run, hail a taxi or get to a bus. We need to get my house." Sirius said.
Jane was to much in a shock to argue with him. She un buckled Hermione and held her fearful daughter close to her, Sirius did the same to Harry. They both burst from the van and started to run, ignoring the dementors that where following them.
Sirius saw a cab and hailed it over, he shoved Jane in with Hermione and got in with Harry and told the driver where to go. They all breathed a sigh of relief as they got further and further away until the finally reached Sirius home.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Devlin why don't you go upstairs with Hermione alright." Sirius said, Harry didn't argue as he grabbed his friend's hand and lead her upstairs. Harry pulled out one of the books the lined his shelves and handed it to a distraught Hermione. She looked at Harry with very sad eyes and gave him a small smile before sitting down and motioning for him to sit next to her. Softly she began to read the book out loud.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sirius walked into the kitchen, Jane followed him and sat at the kitchen table as Sirius pulled the fridge door open and pulled out a beer. How he wished he had fire whiskey about now.
"I can believe he's gone." Jane said, more angry then sad.
"I'm sorry Jane. Allen was a real nice guy." Sirius said taking another gulp of his beer.
"Who are you?" Jane asked.
"I could ask you the same thing?" Sirius replied.
"I know you're a wizard and you know I'm a witch at least. So who are you really?" Jane asked.
"No need for me to answer that." Sirius replied.
"Fine! I swear your just a stubborn as," but Jane stopped herself.
"I'll ask you again," Sirius said, "Who are you?"
"My real name is Zizi. But that is all you need to know. Now I must get my daughter, we have to leave." Jane or really Zizi said.
"Why? Where are you going?" Sirius asked.
"Hermione and I have man enemies and no one to protect us. My brother is dead, my best frien dead and her birth father is a mass murder. To keep us safe I need to leave." Zizi said, Sirius just sat there shocked.
"Zizi Potter? Is that you?" Sirius said.
"How did you? Who are you?" Zizi demanded, with a flick of her wrist her wand was out.
"I, I'm Sirius Black. And if I'm correct you knew that." Sirius said, his own wand out.
Zizi's eyes went round in fear before they turned to anger. Sirius shivered, he had only seen Zizi Potter angry on two occasions and he had scars from both of them.
"YOU! YOU MURDERING SCUM! YOU GOT MY BROTHER AND LILY KILLED!" Zizi yelled sending a curse as him that missed him by inches.
"Now Ziz let me tell you my side of the story. Zizi I would never betray them, you know that!" Sirius said as she threw another curse at him.
"NO! YOU GAVE THEM UP! YOU SOLD THEM TO VOLDEMORT! BECAUSE OF YOU I LOST MY FAMILY!" Zizi yelled, her eyes where murderous.
"Listen to me! Damn it Zizi! It was Peter! He betrayed them, he betrayed us all. Zizi please listen to me!" Sirius said.
"No! You killed them! YOU GOT THEM KILLED. You killed Peter! And I'll be damned if I let you get to me or my daughter!" Zizi yelled.
Sirius eyes went wide as it hit him hard, which was not the spell that Zizi got off that sent Sirius flying back.
"She's my daughter isn't she?" Sirius asked.
"Yes and you will not get near her again. She is my daughter, and I wont let you hurt her like you hurt James, Lily, and Harry. How Sirius? How could you?"
"Not Sirius fault!" a little voice said, Zizi around to see Harry standing there, Hermione behind him.
"So whose the boy?" Zizi asked, "Did you kidnap him to make your cover believable?"
"It's Harry. Your nephew." Sirius replied.
"My nephew died along with his parents." Zizi said with sadness, "You know that!"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Harry sat with Hermione as she continued to read till they both heard yelling down stairs.
"My mummy is mad." Hermione said.
"Yeah seems my Uncle too." Harry said worried. He didn't like this at all. Going back in time, to this it was suppose to be easy. A way to change the future, it wasn't suppose to kill Hermione's father, or who ever he was. It wasn't suppose to cause problems but fix them. How he hated being so defenseless, so useless. He should tell Sirius, but he can't. He knew he couldn't.
Harry got up and made his way to the door.
"Where are you going?" Hermione asked.
"To make sure they don't murder each other." Harry replied, really more curious then anything else.
"Do you want to come?" Harry asked her.
Hermione seemed to think it over before closing her book and standing up. "Okay."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Zi listen to me! Harry didn't die. He survived and was sent to live with the Dursleys. I rescued him Zizi. What are you going to do? Kill me, send Harry back to live with the muggles?" Sirius asked.
"I'll take him with me! If I knew he was alive I would of taken him with me a long time ago! And I'll leave you here for the ministry." Zizi said.
"Damn it woman! Won't you just listen to reason!" Sirius yelled.
"Reason! You want me to listen to reason! I LOST ALL REASON WHEN YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!" Zizi said.
"PADFOOT INNOCENT!" Harry shouted, who in the bloody world was this woman.
Zizi turned to Harry, "I know you don't know me. But you're my nephew. You my brothers son and you will come live with me and your cousin, Hermione. This man is the reason you lost your parents." Zizi said, wanting the boy to believe her.
"No! Peter is reason!" Harry argued thinking, "Hermione my cousin. This is all to bloody weird."
"What have you done to him!" Zizi demanded of Sirius. "What lies have you told him!"
"I've told him nothing! Nothing at all. He knew all this himself. I was in Azkaban and he wrote to me. He told me he knew I was innocent and he asked me to come for him, so I did." Sirius argued.
"That is absurd! He is a little boy!"
"Ay I know. But ask him how he knows. Go on ask him. He'll prove me right." Sirius said.
"Great,"thought Harry,"just great. More lies. Well I better at least make this story believable."
"Dev...I mean Harry tell me how you know. Tell me why you think this monster is innocent?" Zizi asked.
"My daddy told me so." Harry said, trying to act as innocent as can be.
"Your father?" Zizi asked perplexed.
"A dream. I had a dream when I was with the mean Dursleys. Daddy told me all about my godfather. He told me he was in jail but was innocent. That I had to write to him and he would save me from my Aunt and Uncle. He is good, the rat betrayed my parents." Harry argued.
Zizi looked at Sirius.
"You where there secret keeper." she said.
"I wasbut we switched to Peter. The perfect ruse we thought. Voldemort would come after me, no one would ever think it was Peter." Sirius replied.
"But why not tell me? I'm his sister!" Zizi said.
"You where here, in America. You left remember? You left because it was suppose to be safer and I relize now why you where so willing to leave." Sirius said looked at Hermione.
"You leave her out of this!" Zizi demanded.
"BLOODY HELL WHY! SHE HAD A RIGHT TO KNOW WHO I AM!" Sirius shouted but in a softer voice said, "that I'm her father."
Harry felt as if his eye balls where going to pop out. No way this could be true! Hermione Granger was not a muggle born. If what he was understanding was true she was a pure blood. Not only that but she was Sirius daughter, his cousin.
"How can I make you believe that I'm innocent Zizi? How can I convince you?" Sirius pleaded.
She looked at his for a very long time, her brown eyes looking into his own as if searching for something.
"Answer me this then, if you really are good. Tell me about when we first meant." Zizi said.
Sirius gave a wearily smile and understood why she asked this question. For when they finally gotten together as an official couple in their last month of their 7th year it was a question Zizi always asked him. For how he told of their first meeting she would tell him always made her heart soar.
"The first time I meant you was my second year at Hogwarts. Now James always told me he had a sister but I had never meant you or seen how you look. You take after your mum in that department. It was on the train, I was sitting with the boys, your brother, Remus and the rat," Sirius said with a little to much venom, "when I had to use the loo. I got up and was walking down the hall when I saw Malfoy had a wand to this girl who was surely a first year. I pulled out my own wand and disarmed Malfoy. We had a few words and the git left. Then I turned to you waiting for you to thank me but instead you slapped me and stepped on my foot. Yelling that you could save yourself and marching off." Sirius finished.
Zizi dropped her wand in shock.
"You innocent?" She said.
"That is what I've been trying to tell you Zi. But I can't stay here and neither can Harry. I believe those Dementors where from the ministry. We have to go." Sirius said.
"So then Hermione and I will come as well." Zizi said.
"No you won't. It unsafe enough with me and Harry. You'd be in danger." Sirius said.
"I am in danger. Allen wasn't my husband Sirius just a muggle friend of Lily's. You'd remember him as Christopher Selben. He was helping me stay hidden. It wasn't only you I was hidding from. They want me to join their side Sirius and I refused. There after me as well. They are after our daughter. Will you leave us here?" Zizi demanded!
"We have a lot to discuss." Sirius said with a heavy sigh.
"Yes we do. And a lot to explain to those two standing there. But your right we need to leave." Zizi said.
"Alright so pack a small bag. As soon as we done we'll leave." Sirius said.
"And go where?" Zizi asked.
"A safe house in spain for now. Remus set it up for Harry and I just in case." Sirius said.
"Remus? But he's in charge of finding you?" Zizi said, recalling her visit to the ministry.
"Ay. And who better to keep the ministry at bay then some one who knows where I am?" Sirius said with a hint of a smirk.
"Now come on. We must be going!"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Dementors! Why did you do that!" Remus asked angrily to Fudge.
"They are better trackers on this. They picked up his scent in the states but he got away befroe we could send any over there." Fudge replied, Remus let out a soft sigh. Thanking Merlin that they got away.
"What are you still doing here!" Fudge demanded! "You have a fugitive to find!"
PLEASE REVIEW!
Also
Who should Remus fall in love with? Tonks or Ara?
Also this will start moving a little fast now.
Q- Why won't Harry tell Sirius who he really is?
A-B/c somethings just have to happen. I'm sorry but that is the way it must be, for now!
