JK Rowling owns Harry Potter and the other characters of the Potterverse. I am just borrowing them.
Chapter 5
When Harry got back to his bedroom he enlarged his trunk and opened the compartment with the living quarters. The kitchen had an ice box, stove and sink with cabinets above that held dishes for four people. The pantry had an everlasting refilling charm on it. The dining area held a table with four chairs. The walls were painted a butter yellow. The living room/study was done in red and gold, a lot like the Gryffindor common room. In the middle of one wall was a fireplace. Arranged around the fire place were two armchairs and a sofa. Along one wall were doors leading to the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen/dining room, potions room and dueling room. Along the other wall were bookcases filled with books. In front of the book cases was a long table with four chairs arranged around it. When he walked into the potions room he saw that it was well lit and stocked with all the ingredients he could ever need. The dueling room was 20 meters by 20 meters. The floor was padded and there were targets on the walls. The best feature Harry found, was in the bedrooms. When he walked in all's he had to do was think about how he wanted the bedroom to look and it would change accordingly. After changing the walls and ceiling to look like a starry night Harry went into the study and read an advanced defense against the dark arts book. Before he realized it the time was 11:30 pm. He left the trunk to go to bed after he packed all his belongings that were in Dudley's second bedroom. He finally fell asleep around 12:30.
The next morning Harry woke up at 8:00 am to silence. He took a shower and went downstairs to have breakfast. When he got there Vernon, Dudley and Petunia were sitting at the table eating breakfast. On the counter was a wrapped package.
Harry took a seat at the table and helped himself to some toast. Vernon cleared his throat and gave Harry the wrapped present while saying, "Happy Birthday, Harry. Your Aunt told me what is going on. I would like to apologize for the way I have treated you. But you have to understand we never wanted you here."
"Uncle Vernon, first thank you for your apology and the birthday present. I am sorry I was put here when you didn't want me. But had you treated me fairly and explained that I was doing accidental magic and helped me to control it things could have been better. I don't wish you ill. But I am going to be glad to never have to see you again. Think about this. If something happened to you and Aunt Petunia would you have wanted Aunt Lily or Mum to treat Dudley like you have treated me? I'll do the garden today then I am leaving tonight. Have a good life." Harry said before getting up and putting his present on his bed before going out to work on the garden.
A big black dog watched from the bushes while Harry weeded the garden. He watered the flowers then when he went into the shed to put the tools away the dog followed him. As soon as the door shut behind Harry the black dog transformed into Sirius Black.
"Hello Harry."
Harry whirled around ready to try out some of the hex's he learned about last night when he recognized the man before him.
"Sirius?", he asked.
"Yes son." Replied Sirius as he walked toward his son and hugged him.
Harry hugged Sirius back and held him tight like he was afraid to let him go. "Mum and Aunt Lily and Uncle James sent me letters. I know you are innocent and that you are my father and godfather. So does Madam Bones, at least of betraying Uncle James and Aunt Lily. She wants to talk to you about what happened with those muggles and Pettigrew." Harry said when he stepped back from the hug.
"We are getting out of here. Your Mum sent me a letter letting me know that you are my son. She asked me to come get you from here. Do you have a portkey to the safe house?"
"Yeah, and to Potter Manor and Grimmauld Place. Mum had a crest ring made for me. It has the Evans Crest, the Potter crest and the Black crest on it." Harry replied showing Sirius the ring.
"What do you want me to call you? Raven or Harry?" Sirius asked.
"I'd like to use my real name. What is my full name anyway? But for now just call me Raven. OK?"
"I'm not sure, did you get a chest from Jasmine?"
"Yeah she said you would be able to give me the password to open it."
"The password is "I solemnly swear that Padfoot is a prat." Sirius sheepishly said.
Raven snorted saying "I've got to get back inside and make sure I'm all packed, do you want to come in and wait."
"Sure, just let me transform. I escaped from Azkaban. I need to stay hidden for now."
Sirius transformed and followed Raven into the house. They headed up to his room where he motioned Sirius to follow him into the trunk.
"You can get a shower in here. I think the closet has some clothes. The kitchen is fully stocked. While you are in the shower I'll make something to eat. Then you are going to explain to me how you can turn into an animal and how I can learn." Raven said with a grin.
"Ok, kiddo, I'll tell you everything I can over dinner." With that Sirius walked into the bathroom and proceeded to clean 12 years of sweat and grime off his body and out of his hair.
Once Sirius was out of the shower he walked into the kitchen to see his son putting dishes on the table. He made chicken, potatoes and vegetables. Sirius sat down at the table and filled a plate, in between bites he said, "Son I am so sorry for leaving you with Hagrid. I went after Peter when Hagrid would not let me take you. When I finally cornered him he yelled out that I had betrayed James and Lily. Then before I knew it he cut off his finger and blew up the street. Then he turned into a rat and escaped into the sewer. I got arrested before I could even explain what happened. They took me straight to Azkaban without a trial. If I had known what Dumbledore was going to do I would never have left you." Said Sirius trying not to cry.
"What did the Headmaster do?" Asked Raven
"He knew that Peter Pettigrew was your parents secret keeper. He didn't push for me to get a trial. And before you say anything I do now know that I am your father but James and Lily were also your parents. OK?" Sirius replied.
"Why would the Headmaster not make sure you were given a fair trial?" Raven asked. "I'm glad that you feel that way. I have lived for most of my life believing that Uncle James and Aunt Lily were my parents and whileI have you I will always be grateful to Uncle James and Aunt Lily for adopting me."
"I'm not sure Raven why the Headmaster did what he did. He was the one who performed the Fidelius Charm. It could be that he wanted to have say over you due to the prophecy. If I or your mother took care of you he wouldn't have any say." Sirius said.
"What happened to my mother?" Asked Raven as he started clearing off the table.
"I don't know. The last time I saw her was the morning of the day James and Lily died. She was going on a mission later that day for Dumbledore." Sirius said helping.
"We should leave now. Do you want to stay in here while I take the portkey?"
"No I want to be with you in case something happens." With that Raven and Sirius left the trunk and made sure to shrink the trunk, grab the old school trunk and Hedwig's cage. Raven touched the Evans crest and said "Marauder Hideaway".
