Chapter 30 – Summer with Sirius

Harry froze in the entrance of the great hall on his way to the end of the year feast. He didn't know if he was feeling more shocked or disgusted at the image that greeted him. Either way he felt the laughter bubble up from deep in his chest. He couldn't turn from the sight. The whole room looked on at the same sight in stunned silence. Harry's laughter was the only sound. Sirius' choked laughter soon joined him in the silence. Harry glanced behind him to his twins. They weren't shocked, nor did they tried to hide the glint in their eyes. Harry bit back his laughter with a nod to his twins. He turned back to the image that caught everyone's attention, Dumbledore.

Dumbledore stood frozen half way bent to sit in his chair. His long velvet purple robe had disappeared. The only thing saving the students from being flashed was his beard. The teachers that were already seated were not as lucky as the students. They got the full view, it mustn't be a good one either as Harry saw a few of them gag. Dumbledore slowly stood straight, his skin flushed by a deep blush of embarrassment. A flash of light behind him drew all eyes. Words written in a fire script spelled out the reason for this show.

'Magic's son has come. Enemies of our Lord beware.' It was second year all over again in many minds. This was one hell of a way to end the year.

"Harrison may we speak with you?" Minerva approached him after dinner ended. Severus stood behind her.

Harry smiled softly. "Yeah." He nodded to Draco giving the go ahead for the Pack to go pack their last minute things. He followed his god parents down the halls to their normal meeting room; The DADA classroom because the room had absolutely no portraits. Remus and Sirius joined them only a minute after they entered the room. The door was shut and warded.

Minerva watched Harry take his normal position sitting on the top of the front desk. "Severus and I are your family Harrison. We will also support you. Severus can't give you an oath but I can and will." She kneeled before her godson. "I, Minerva McGonagall, do so declare my loyalty to one, Harrison James Evans Potter; sound of mind and of my own free will. I do so swear to be loyal to Harrison, never to betray him by word or action, willing or unwilling. By my magic and life, so mote it be." Harry accepted her oath and the Pack's customary crescent moon appeared on the back of her neck.

Minerva stood with a small smile. Harry reached into his bag and pulled out two wrapped packages. "I had these made for you guys. Remus and Sirius has their own." He handed on to Minerva and the other to Severus. They opened them to find a mirror, chain, and Pack band each. "The mirror is specially made to connect only my mirror. The ring and arm band are your Pack bands that doubles as a port key that can take you to any member of the Pack no matter where you are. Only you can use the port key or take it off. Any questions?"

"Do these need activated in any way?" Severus asked looking over the items.

"Yeah. The mirror needs a drop of blood on each rune that is carved in the back of it. Your band also needs one drop on it. The blood makes it yours and ties it to you." Harry knew this might horrify them but it was the blood that made the items the Pack uses so powerful.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Morning came faster than Harry would have liked. He was going to spend the summer with Sirius and Remus. Sirius was trained in the Old Ways so he got permission from Petunia to take Harry for most of the summer to teach him. Harry felt excited, he was going to learn of the way magic was supposed to be like. He was going to learn the true history that only dark families now passed down. Most of all Harry knew he was going to learn how to be the Grey Lords the others are convinced he is. He was ready to change the world.

"Cub are you ready to head off? Sirius wants to get back home as soon as possible so we can get you both settled in." Remus asked after the train carrying the rest of the Pack left the station.

Harry sighed. "Yeah I'm ready. Are you two sure I won't be a bother this summer?" Amara shifted around his shoulders to poke him with her tail for asking such a question.

Remus laughed wrapping his arm around Harry's shoulder, turning back towards Hogwarts where Sirius waited for them. Amara coiled up and around Remus' arm. "Cub you can never be a bother to us. This is how thing were always meant to be. Your mother and father used to plan on alternating summers with us so we could spend as much time with you when you got older. If we don't honor those plans now that we are able, I know that your parents would find a way to haunt our butts."

Harry could imagination it. In ghost form his father would be like Peeves and his mother would have a time trying to make him behave. "Oh goddess. That's an image."

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

The first week of summer with his godparents were used for settling in and fun. On the first day there Sirius had declared a prank war and all hell broke loose. Poor Remus, Amara, and Nightshade were in the middle of the whole thing until Remus ended it by locking them out of the apartment after a prank bomb spilled his tea on the book he was reading. After that Harry's day consisted of reading books Sirius set aside for him in the mornings before he left for work, physical exercise with Remus before lunch, lunch with Remus, homework, questions and answers with Sirius when he got home, dinner, and the day ended with family time in the living room where he played with his little one and his beauty. It was simple and Harry loved it. He talked to the rest of his Pack through the mirrors and Petunia had sent him a new cell phone so she could talk to him anytime.

It was late June when Sirius got a day off from his demanding work scheduled. On that day Sirius took Harry to visit the house he grew up in. Harry was amazed to watch the house appear out of the one beside it but that amazement soon turned to displeasure at the state of the house from the outside. The windows were blackened with years of dust and grime, the paint was faded to a grey-white, but what Harry hated the most was the yard. The yard was overgrown from lack of care and the grass was an unhealthy shade of yellowish brown. Harry could only hope the inside was better. They entered the house to hear a woman start screaming at them. It came from the portrait in the hallway beside the door, from the look of her Harry had to guess that the woman was Sirius' mother. Not a pleasant woman.

"Enough madam." Harry let his magic surge around him. The display silenced the woman. A flick of his wrist and a heavy curtain covered the woman making her out of sight and out of hearing range. "Who looks after this house?"

"That would be Kreacher. A deplorable elf that hates me with a passion. Mother always favored him. I would love to see him dead." Sirius muttered the last part to himself but Harry wasn't going to comment with the state the house was in.

The house was covered in dust and grime so thick you couldn't tell the color of the wall. The doors and floors creaked, and a draft was felt through the hallway. The stairs didn't even look safe to breathe on let alone walk on. The only thing that looked cared for were the portraits. Harry could even sense the presence of things that shouldn't be living in the house. "Dobby."

Dobby appeared in front of him as chipper as normal. He was bouncing on his toes. "Master Harry needs Dobby for something?

"Yes. Dobby I want you to get a few of the elves form a Potter property and clean this house top to bottom. It has been left for far too long to decay. There is an elf that is original to this house, he is now under you. If you have any trouble send him to work in the Hogwarts kitchen under the watch of the rest of the Hogwarts elves." Harry ordered. This was once a great pure-blood home, rich with history but now it was nothing more than an almost condemned house. He wanted it back to its formal glory.

"Dobby will do it now sir." Dobby gave a bow and disappeared. Harry shook his head with a smile. That elf was so eager to please.

Sirius looked displeased at the things around him."Well now, let's get to the library. The books on the Lords are there under Phineas watchful eye."

"Phineas, isn't he one of the past Head Masters of Hogwarts?" Harry followed Sirius down the dark, dirty hallway, past many closed doors.

"Yes. He has a portrait in Hogwarts and one in the library to watch over all. He used to tell me stories of our families' history and of the Old Ways. He's a perfectionist and a little cruel but he enjoys teaching willing students." Sirius came to a pair of wooden doors. He opened it and all Harry could see was rows and rows of books on shelves. "I'll go pull some of the books. Go explore like I know you want to."

Harry did just that. The library was surprisingly clean, not a single piece of dust or dirt could be found. The air was filled with the must of leather and parchment. Protective magic swirled and twirled around every nook and cranny of the room, brushing up against Harry in welcome. He loved it.

He moved to look over the first shelf closest to him. They were mostly children book but Harry wanted to look over everything. A heat against the skin of his chest pulled him from his search. He pulled the mirror out from under his shirt. He let it hang on the outside and tapped it, without enlarging it, to answer by voice only. "Hey Harry." Draco's voice came through the mirror.

"Draco, I think I found a place that rivals your library."

"Oh? And where would this be?" Draco asked amused. There wasn't a lot of places that could live up to the Malfoy library.

"The Black library." Harry pulled a small book from the shelf. It was a child's story book but he carried it with him as the Peverell family symbol was on the front so it became the first of his stack.

"You're in the Black library? Oh what I would give to be there too. Mother talks about the collection the Black family has built up over the centuries." Draco's voice took on a dreamy quality. Harry snorted. "Harry the Black family is older than even the Malfoys. They have one of the oldest book collections. Allow me a moment to daydream will you."

"Draco, we get taught by the Hogwarts founders themselves. Now what is it you called for?" Harry moved to the next shelf and added another two books to his pile.

"I got a report today from Blaise Zabini. His mother is a black widow assassin. Blaise told me that her newest target for the month is a French ambassador." Draco sounded excited. "He let slip that the French ministry, the Bulgarian ministry, and our own have agreed to bring back the Tri-Wizard tournament. It's going to be held this coming year at Hogwarts."

"Twi-Wizard tournament? That was discontinued in the 1790s after a headmaster was attacked by one of the creatures they had brought in for the competition. It was said that they would never bring it back." Harry mused. He had read about the tournament in passing during his first year.

"What are you thinking?" Draco asked.

"Harry, I found the books. Come over here." Sirius called from further in the library's confines.

"Coming uncle." Harry turned from the shelf he was looking at. "I was thinking that if what Blaise said was true, this year is going to be a busy year." Harry found Sirius sitting at a table in front of a large fireplace. Above the fireplace hung a large life size portrait. Harry gave the gruff looking older man in the portrait a nod.

"What do you mean Harry? You're not thinking of entering are you?" Draco sounded worried.

Harry almost laughed at the outrageous suggestion. "No Draco. You're smarter than that. There is going to be two different school alongside our Venatores. Two other schools to recruit from."

Sirius glanced up from one of the books he had opened. "Are we thinking of expanding resources to other countries?"

"I guess so. Harry do you want me to give the Pack a heads up about the plan?" Draco asked.

"Yeah. Then split the Venatores between you all. I want them all working on the visitors during the year. This gives them time to think about how they'll do it." Harry explained. "We'll speak more later."

"Alright." Draco acknowledged. Harry felt the magic in the mirror disperse as the call ended.

"So what do you have Sirius?"

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

The next couple of weeks passed quickly after that. Harry spent most of his time with Remus but on Sirius' days off they went over to the Black house. Dobby had brought six elves from the potter properties over like he was ordered. Once or twice the elves had to get Harry or Remus to come over and get rid of a nasty creature but other than that the house was slowly on its way to recovery.

In those weeks plans for the coming school year were discussed and finalized. Samuel had reported that he was going to be one of the Auror stationed at the school for the duration of the tournament. Harry figured that the Durmstrang student will associate with the Slytherins and the Ravenclaws as those are the houses they would have most in common with. While the Beauxbatons students will mingle with the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Sirius, cub dinner is ready." Remus called from down the hall. Sirius and Harry simultaneously looked up from the book they were pouring over.

Sirius blinked in confusion. He glanced at Harry next to him. "When did he come over?"

"A couple hours ago. He brought Amara and Nightshade with him too." Harry stood with his arms above his head in a full body stretch. He sighed happily when his back made multiple pops.

Sirius shook his head. "You and your pets. It's a fight for you to go anywhere without them pup."

"They are not pets…" Harry scoffed in mock outrage. "They are my dear companions."

Sirius snorted. "I'm sure."

They set the books aside and stood. Harry smirked at his godfather. "I would love to see you tell Amara that she is a pet."

Sirius opened his mouth to reply but stopped. Harry figured he was thinking about the time Remus called her a pet. It didn't end well. Amara had bit him and injected a paralyzing venom that lasted an hour. That whole time Amara coiled up on Remus' chest and hissed menacingly at him. Harry had spent half the time laughing.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Cub this year Petunia, Sirius, and I thought to do something big for your birthday." Remus stared randomly at dinner.

Harry blinked. "What could be bigger than last year?"

Remus only smiled. Sirius pulled an envelope from inside his best pocket and slide it across the table. "Open it and find out."

Harry felt his curiosity stir. The envelope was a plain parchment one so he wasn't going to get his answers from looking at it. He slipped it open and pulled out 4 ticket to the Quidditch world cup. Harry grinned. He loved playing but he loved watching the game more than anything. "So the four of us? I would like to know how you convinced aunty to go, she hates sports."

"Those tickets are for you, Hermione, Neville, and Luna." Remus chuckled at Harry's delighted smile. "Sirius and I got our own tickets. The Weasley family won tickets so Fred, George, and Ginny will already be there and Draco is going with his father. We have already sent letters out and gotten positive replies about this. The Pack can't wait to get together again."

Harry barely had time to put the tickets down before he was flying across the table to hug his godfathers. "Thank you so much."

Well sorry for the wait but here's the chapter. Leave a review to tell me what you all thought. Thanks everyone!
