I'm sorry for the delays in updating guys please keep reading and thank you for my reviews.


Elbows whirling in emerald flames Harry and Lupin stepped out of Dumbledore's fire. Harry stared straight at the portrait which held the late professor. McGonagall was no where to be seen. The office was nearly exactly as Harry remembered it. The cabinet which held the pensieve flickered.

"Remus" Harry turned to his guardian would you be able to find Professor McGonagall do you think? Just while I try to wake up Dumbledore? I won't do anything regarding Sirius until you get back that I promise."

"Very well Harry, I shan't be long!" with that Lupin sped from the office.

Harry coughed rather nervously. None of the portraits looked around nor woke up. He walked over to Dumbledore's frame and tapped slightly on the name plate at the bottom. The headmaster stirred.

"Sir!" Harry hissed.

Dumbledore woke up, "Harry! Harry my dear boy! I'm so sorry I've been waiting for you to come, I'd almost given up!

"Professor." Harry cut him off

"I need to know about Sirius. Lupin is here too I said I'd ask when he got back from McGonagall."

"Ah I see, the time has finally come then. But, Harry surely Ron and Hermione would…"

Harry again cut him off. "We want to see what this is all about before we upset anyone unnecessarily."

The door opened and Lupin walked in with Professor Mc Gonagall

"Albus" she acknowledged the ex headmaster before throwing her arms around Harry, who choked after about 30seconds of being deprived of oxygen.

"Harry!" she exclaimed. "I never thought I'd see you back in these walls! Is what lupin has told me true?"

"yes" explained Harry. "I just need the help of the porfferssr there."

At this point the conversation turned to Dumbledore.

"Harry in my private quarters, which I trust Minerva will guide you too"

He threw a look at McGonagall who nodded

"You will find a chest, which contains various artifacts which may interest you. you can talk to me later about those but the main one isa small wooden case containing 5 vials, 3 of memory 2 of thought.it is in these your answer will lie. There is also a small safe in Grimmauld Place hidden behind the librays main bookcase. second shelf 6th book from the left as I recall. you're key will fit but I do not know what is contained there that is for you alone. Bringing Sirius back may only be possible if the veil did not totally kill him."

Harry gasped and Dumbledore cut him off

"It is possible for a being to remain in a kind of limbo niehter living nor dead. it is in such a limbo we must hope Sirius is in. Either that or indeed that the council of the dead would help Sirius's cause. Either way it will only work if Sirus himself wishes this. Indeed it is mostly down to him."


Behind the Veil Sirius lay in limbo concious of the living world. concious of the fact it did not recognise him as alive. then his concoiusness winked out.


Harry to Lupin. "Are we agreed this needs to be tried? Bringing him back would mean so much to him I know he misses you and Azkaban made hiim fear you no longer loved him as the brother he was to you. we can only do this together Moony"

Lupin walked over to Harry and grabbed him in a wolflike hug.

"Together Harry"

McGonagall sniffed, tears streaming down her face. "

If theres anything I can do..."

Harry and Lupin nodded and thanked her, before turning to Dumbledore and bidding him farewell.

"Well Professor lead on." Harry smiled.
