Chapter Four: Third Year Recap
"For your good idea you don't have to do any more work for the rest of the day," James said.
"Wicked! What are you doing now?"
"Nothing, you just saved me from a days worth of research. So how about we go around the house and prank your mom."
"Okay, what are we going to do to her?"
"You decide."
"I think we should make her hair hot pink and have her hair gelled up so that its sticking straight up above her head."
"Brilliant! Mind you she doesn't like getting her hair pranked, so the prank can only stay in for about an hour. And if she asks, I didn't do it. Now where could she be? We need to make a marauder's map of this place."
Harry started laughing when he heard that comment. Hearing Harry laugh, James knew that Harry had come across the Marauders' map and possibly the invisibility cloak. So Harry asked, "Do you still remember how you made the map?"
"Of course, it was only the best thing ever invented! How did you end up with the map?"
"Well you know it was confiscated by Filch; then my best mate's twin brothers stole it from him. And it third year when I couldn't go to Hogsmeade because my permission slip was signed, they handed it down to me because they didn't need it any more."
"Well at least you got it. Why didn't the Dursley's sign the form?"
"Because the deal that we made was that I had to be good for the whole summer, and unfortunately for me Uncle Vernon's sister Marge came and I accidentally blew her up. Then they kind of kicked me out, so I got all my stuff, which isn't much, walked a little bit, then called for the knight bus. On the walk was the first time I saw Padfoot."
"Wait a minute. Aren't you supposed to living with Padfoot?"
"Well, I don't really know. The night you guys 'died' Hagrid came and took me to the Dursleys' because of the blood protection it offered me. When Sirius heard that he took off after Pettigrew and supposedly killed Peter and twelve other muggles. But really Peter transformed and lived the next years as Percy Weasley's pet rat. The pet rat was handed down to my best mate, Ron, when Percy became Prefect. So the little rat was staying with me in my room for three years with out us ever knowing."
"So where does Padfoot fit in?"
"Well he escaped from Azkaban that year, and spent the year living in a cave around Hogsmeade. Then on the last full moon of the school year, Remus, who was teaching Defense against the dark arts, forgot to take the new potion that will allow him to keep control, went down to the Shrieking Shack, and my other best mate, Hermione's cat had Wormtail, and took the rat down to Padfoot. For some weird reason they were all down in the shrieking shack, and when we went down there they were all in human form. Sirius told me the whole story, and I spared Pettigrew when he and Remus wanted to kill him."
"Wow! You had a very interesting third year."
"That's not really the whole story, but you don't really want to hear the rest."
"Yes, I do," James stated like an excited six year old.
"Well, Snape came into the tunnel and we had to knock him out. Then we were taking everyone back up to the castle, but Remus was holding Pettigrew, and Remus had to run into the forest because he forgot to take the potion. So as an end result Peter got away and Sirius was still running from the law. Oh and some dementors were there and I used a patronus and drove them away."
"First why was Snape there? Why did you say Sirius was running from the law?"
"Snape is the potions master who hates me with passion because he thinks that I'm all big headed like you used to be. And Sirius died this summer. Voldemort sent me an image of the Department of Mysteries, so I went to 'save' Sirius but the image was phony and I ended up getting Sirius dead because he was dueling with his evil cousin Lestrange."
"Siri isn't allowed to be dead! There's a way we can bring him back. Only I don't think he will ever be able to leave the elven world, but at least he will be with us."
"Can we try now?"
"No, first we need to make sure you can do elven magic so you will be able to help me tomorrow. The spell takes a lot of physical and magical energy out of a person, and is easier if two people say the spell. Maybe we can even get Lily to help, she might not of liked Sirius very much, but she would have wanted him to live, especially since he died trying to save you," James said, you could tell by his eyes that he was very sad that Sirius had to die, especially at the hands of a relative. "Now for the first lesson, put your wand on the table and come over and stand by me." Harry did as he was told and went over to where his father was standing. "Hold your hand out, image you are holding your wand, and say 'accio'."
Harry did as he was told. When he opened his eyes he was holding the brother wand of Tom Riddle's own wand, his wand. "Wow! I did it! I did it!" Harry said excitedly, doing a little dance.
Laughing James replied, "I thought you would get it on your first try. Now go put your wand back on the table, this time were going to do it the elfish way."
"What's the elfish way?" Harry asked.
"Do the same thing as you did before just don't say the incantation."
Harry held out his hand, closed his eyes and imagined he was holding his wand. When he opened his eyes again he saw that he had summoned his wand without the use of a wand and without saying an incantation. This will be good for pranks, Harry thought, no wonder they were able to think up all those pranks, they never needed to search in a book for a spell.
"That was good. Put your wand back on the table, with magic. Just imagine its sitting on the table over there." Harry set the wand back on the table. "Now summon your wand again, but don't close your eyes, you don't need your eyes closed to imagine something."
Again Harry thought of his wand in his hand, and amazing he saw his wand zoom across the room and into his hand.
"You progressed very well today," James said in a very teacher like manner. "You will now help me pull a prank on your mother."
"Okay-dokie, where is she now, I've never done magic when I'm not in the room with the subject."
"She's probably in the sewing room, that's the new hobby she picked up. I bet you she'll get annoyed with it in about a week. It's too slow for her. She just won't listen to me when I tell her she should pick up quidditch. And now I have a lesson for tomorrow, you'll need it before we try to summon Sirius."
"Why do I have to learn that? I can summon normal things just fine."
"Sirius isn't a normal thing."
"Good point."
