Diagon Alley

The very next morning Harry, Ron, and Hermione asked Mrs. Weasley if they could go to Diagon Alley on their own for a few hours seeing as security had been tightened and Harry is the "Chosen One".

"And besides, if Voldemort did show up he would bring Nigini with him and then I could finish him on the spot," Harry argued.

"Oh, fine," Mrs. Weasley finally agreed, "But I want you all back here by sunset."

"Thank you," the three said in unison.

The three friends stepped out side and dissaperated.

They all appeared with a pop in the Leaky Caldron and unlike the last time they were there, it was completely filled with people. They walked out, into the courtyard, Ron tapped the right brick and the wall divided to let them through.

"Oh look," Hermione said pointing to one of the jewelry shops, "let's try there!"

They walked into the store to find some of the most beautiful gems they have ever seen. Harry looked around and found a ring that had the Hogwarts crest and 4 different colored gems.

"That was Helga Hufflepuffs you know," the witch at the counter said eagerly, "It was found just last week."

"It's amazing," Harry said in awe. "She'll love it. What do you two think?"

The other two walked over and looked into the glass case.

Ron's jaw dropped as Hermione squealed, "Its perfect Harry!" Hermione said staring longingly at the ring then she smacked Ron playfully. "Now why don't you ever get me something that nice," she said as Harry paid for the ring.

"Oh my dear Hermione, do you really think I love you that much?" Ron replied jokingly and they both laughed

Harry smiled at his two friends, just remembering when Ron first told him that he liked Hermione, and that was all the way back in first year when Harry's adventure first began with his two friends. Frankly he was amazed and highly touched that they always stuck by him no matter how much they fought and no matter how long it took to forgive each other they remained friends.

They decided to walk around Diagon Alley and Harry was still deep in thought.

He remembered his first encounter with Ginny, Ron, and the rest of the Weasley family. He remembered thinking how obnoxious Hermione was. He remembered the fight with the troll during which Harry and Ron became friends with Hermione, and he remembered getting through all the obstacles blocking the soccer's stone but what he liked best about this memory was that Ron and Hermione were there by his side. He remembered being shunned by the school in his second year because everyone thought that he was the heir of Slythern, but again Ron and Hermione stuck by him. And in his third year he and Ron fought with Hermione over Harry's firebolt when everyone thought that Sirius Black was out to kill him. Then even worse then that, in fourth year, he had a fight with Ron and felt like he would never speak to him again. He remembered Voldemort's return and all the misery the Ministry of Magic put him through in his fifth year. He remembered Sirius's death and finally he remembered his sixth year during which it seemed like nothing was going right.

When Harry finally broke out of his trance he found himself in the Leaky Caldron with Ron and Hermione staring at him.

"What's up mate?" Ron asked, slightly concerned.

"Nothing," Harry replied, "Just thinking about all the times we have shared over the past six years, the good and the bad."

"I thought about all that last night," Hermione said, "It's strange isn't it? We have been friends for so long, and so much has happened."

"And it's all 'cuz of you Harry," Ron said laughing.

"Nice Ron," Harry said laughing along with him, "but you know I was trying to be serious."

Then, once again, he remembered the worst day of his life, the day Sirius was killed. Tears welled in his eyes.

They still had about two hours left before they had to go back to the burrow so they decided to go to get some ice cream. They ordered their ice cream and sat outside when suddenly someone they all knew, but thought they would never see again walked by, Sirius.

They all gasped as Sirius walked up to them.

"Hello," he said.

"Hello," the three said all not believing that it was really him.

"I know you don't believe it's really me but,"

"That's right!" Harry said cutting him off, "we don't believe you. Where is the proof that you are really Sirius 'Padfoot' Black?" he asked

"Go ahead," Sirius replied patiently, "ask me any question you want and I will prove to you that I am your god father."

"Ok," Harry said thinking for a moment, "What did James do to "Snivilus" on the last day of your O.W.L.'s?"

Sirius laughed remembering that day. "Well first James was showing off with a snitch he had nicked but it was bugging me so I asked him to stop before wormtail wet himself. Then I mentioned how bored I was and he spotted Snape. He went up to Snape and used Levicorpus on him exposing his nasty little knickers. Soon Lilly showed up, told James to put him down and he obeyed. Then Snape called her a very foul name and James hit him with a curse, James, being the person he was, then asked Lilly to go out with him and she turned him down, as usual, and said he was just as bad as Snape. At this James became highly insulted because he would never call her a you-know-what. Then Lilly just walked away and James picked Snape up again and took off his under ware for the whole school to see."

Harry stood there amazed by this very detailed answer and concluded that it had to actually be him, no other person besides Remus and James could give such a detailed answer.

"Sirius," Harry whispered. "It's really you."

"Yes, Harry, it is, and to let you in on a little secret, I was never dead."

"But you fell through the veil…" then Harry trialed off as he realized what must have happened. "There was whispering beyond the veil. Sirius, were people trying to get out?"

Sirius chuckled, "Yes they were trying to get out and after I fell through I became one of the voices. Then one of the Unspeakables figured out how the veil works. I was the first one out because I was right near what appeared to be the entrance, then all sorts of people came out including about fifty ministry workers (when I was there, they were still pouring out when I left), but before I was able to leave James and Lilly walked out.
