A/N: sorry for not updating in so long. I've moved twice, my mom remarried, I became an aunt and my Great grandmother passed away since the last post.
Disclaimer: I can always dream but I do not own Harry Potter.
Now onto the long awaited chapter!
"Harry we should be a safe distance to remove the spell."
Came a disembodied voice somewhere to Harry's right; looking toward the sound he nodded in agreement, before he remembered Black couldn't see him and
shouted over the thunder.
"Alright, if you think it's a good idea."
Without missing a beat Black answered
"We could wait, but personally I feel stupid shouting into thin air."
Harry chuckled and replied
"I agree, I do feel rather ridiculous."
Black pulled his wand out of his sleeve and quickly removed the spell on himself before commanding.
"Harry, come up on my left so I can remove the spell from you."
Feeling a slight pull on his robed telling him were the green eyed teen was Black removed the spell with an
"Enervate!"
Only to reveal a rather wet looking, but smiling form of one Harry Potter. With a swipe at the drenched bangs in his eyes Black joked lightly
"I didn't expect it to rain so bad; I just hope Molly will spare a mere messenger for getting you soaked."
Shaking his head and sending the annoying bangs back into his eyes Black decided
"We'd better speed up or we could end up with more than just Molly after us."
Ranger spun around as the screams came again.
"Rain!"
The wind tore at his tauntingly sending his desperate cries into the merciless night. Just as he started back from his original destination, he heard barely audible pop
behind him in nearby trees. Thinking more Death eaters had arrived Ranger drew his wand and held it steadily as two now soaked forms emerged, his wand never
waving Ranger remained in his position until he heard the familiar comment.
"Put that wand away, you fool boy, your aiming at fellow Order members."
Ranger lowered his wand slightly as the two forms flew at his revealing the bodies of Mad-eye Moody and Auror Kingsley Shacklebolts. The Auror asking
"What seems to be holding you up?"
Ranger yelled angrily above the howling wind
"I can't leave her! She's in trou….."
Ranger was cut off as the screams were heard once more. Without a second thought the distraught young man forced his broom around and sped to where he knew
his friend was. The two men barely glanced at one another before following. As the three men reached the sight they were met with at a glance looked to be a
massacre, but on a second look you noticed the bodies were slowly moving as they breathed in and out. Quickly landing they searched the bodies for their comrade.
"I found her over here."
Ranger and Moody made their way over to the auror as he carefully pulled a bloody body from under an unconscious death eater. Looking to the lifeless body
Ranger asked nervously
"Is she…."
"She's not dead, just severely injured. She needs Madame Pomphrey."
Kingsley was quick to reassure. Moody pulled an oddly shaped box from his pocket and held it up to the others.
"Well we'll need to use the back up portkey. Kingsley, you and the girl go ahead and port to our final destination. I and Junior here will continue with the plan."
The two men quickly agreed with the new orders. Excepting the box Kingsley pushed it into Rain's unresponsive hand and held onto it with his own. Pointing his
wand at the object Ranger rasped out as he pictured the destination they needed..
"Portus."
Moments later the dark man and injured girl were gone. Turning to the clearly upset young man Moody stated
"Stop worrying. We have more important things to deal with, like finishing our mission."
Ranger nodded as he mounted his broom and returned to the clouded sky along with Moody. The two men pointed their brooms toward their route and set off
into the raging storm at top speed. They were to catch up with Black and Harry if possible.
Black looked back behind him as lightning struck a nearby tree.
"You alright there, Harry?"
The emerald eyed young man nodded and yelled back into the howling wind.
"Yeah I'm fine. Are we almost there?"
Looking down Black saw the lights of the town below studying the pattern of the lights he shouted back
"Yeah, we're entering the town outskirts as we speak. Let's speed up a bit."
Suddenly Black's head shot up as what looked to be a spell shot by them, whipping around he drew his wand and floated in front of Harry; muttering to him as he did.
"When I give the signal I want you to fly full speed toward the HQ. Don't look back or slow down until you get there. Understood?"
Realizing this wasn't a time to argue Harry nodded and gripped his rain soaked broom tighter, ready to flee once he order was given.
"Alright, I don't like it, but I will."
Black nodded his understanding and waited for the time to strike. The time never came though as Ranger came into view followed closely by Moody. With a sigh
of relief Black lowered his wand and informed the new arrivals
"You're lucky I'm not trigger happy or you'd have been a crispy critter. I thought you were death eaters."
Moody jerked his head up in approval and commended
"Very good, boy. Constant Vigilance, now let's get going."
They turned to leave as Harry asked
"Where's the girl…er...Rain? Is she still at the house?"
Black's head swung around as the two men remained silent.
"Ranger, what happened to her?"
Ranger's sadden eyes met Black's as he replied.
"We need to get Harry, safe. When we get there I'll tell you."
The rain soddened group quickly mad their way to the Order Headquarters. As they landed the front door opened to admit a short red headed woman as she pulled
a shawl over her head and ran out. The four men made their way to her as fast as possible only to have Harry's arm grabbed and the young man drug into the house
while she muttered.
"Soaked to the skin, freezing cold….."
The three men followed at a slower pace. As they entered they were surrounded by order members wanting to know if all went well. A familiar brown haired man
walked up to the annoyed woman and carefully pulled Harry free from her grip; all the while saying
"Molly, Harry will be fine. Once he's at Hogwarts we'll get him some dry clothes."
The woman sighed and nodded
"You're right, Remus, of course. I just don't want him sick."
Remus smiled kindly at the motherly woman and nodded his agreement
"I agree, but we need to get him to Hogwarts. Would you please get the fireplace ready?"
Molly nodded before disappearing in the direction of the fireplace. Harry looked at Remus who was look at the rest of his team and said.
"Thank you, Pro…..Moony. "
Remus smiled at the teen as he was finally called by one of the names he'd wanted Harry to call him before saying.
"No problem, Harry, I know Molly can be over bearing sometimes."
Looking back to the sopping group he asked.
"Um….Ranger correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't there be two more in your group?"
Black spoke before Ranger could answer
"He was just about to explain this concern to us Uncle Remus."
The two men looked to the man in question while Harry looked shocked at someone calling Remus uncle. Ranger drew his attention as he started replaying the story
of what had happened to the missing girl from the close call with Lucius to the screams of pain to the arrival back at the house.
"….So we decided Kinsley should use the portkey to go to Hogwarts and we'd follow through with our mission, the was no way Rain would have survived that
flight. She was loosing so much blood and…."
"Remus put a reassuring hand on the teen.
"Don't worry about it, son, you did what you were supposed t do and what was right. Poppy will take good care of Rain."
The man smiled as Remus pulled him into a hug and Black hugged him as well. Pulling back Ranger rasped slightly as he commented
"Thanks, Dad, I hope she's alright, but right now we need to get Harry to Hogwarts."
Black chuckled softly
"You're right, Ranger, but don't worry my sister and I come from tough stock."
Having just felt the ground drop out from under him Harry shook his head and wondered aloud
"Wait a second. Ranger is Remus's son and Rain is Black's sister?"
Remus looked over at the horrible confused man and informed him helpfully.
"Yes, Ranger is my son, we just got reunited. And Yes Black and Rain are siblings. You know their father, but only he can tell you who he is."
Harry nodded as this new information sunk in. Ranger smiled slightly at him and asked
"Are you alright with this Harry? This would mean we're sort of like cousins."
Harry gave the nervous teen a reassuring smile.
"Of course I'm alright with it. Don't worry about it. Let's get to Hogwarts before Madame Pomphrey gets mad and puts on bed rest because we're wet."
The two men quickly agreed with Harry as Remus looked on in amusement. The group headed over to the fireplace and one by one flooed to the Infirmary
of Hogwarts. Harry was the last to go through and was caught by sturdy arms before he could fall to far. Looking up he met the grinning face of none other than….
"Sirius!"
The dark haired man chuckled as Harry squeezed the air out of him only to be released moments later. With serious (no cracks he he) look he asked
"Did my son and daughter take care of you, Harry?"
Harry froze and stared gob smacked at his godfather.
"Son and da…daughter?"
Sirius grinned and replied
"Yep Black and Rain are my children, though you didn't know about Black for the same reason as Ranger. The reason you didn't know about Rain was because
she was in Azkaban with me."
