Pictures: Chapter 2

Remus could not believe what was going on; it almost seemed to good to be true. Sirius was actually here. Not hiding in a cave somewhere like were he had originally thought that he would end up do to the fact that at the time he was still wanted by the ministry, but now his is here in Remus' room at Hogwarts sitting on his couch. He was so happy he never thought he was going to see him again. Remus was going to suggest that before they go anywhere that Sirius should take a shower, but before he could there was another knock at his door. When Remus opened the door he saw that is was none other then the headmaster of Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore.

"Hello Sir," Remus started, "Please come in."

"Hello Remus," the headmaster said, "And Sirius it is nice to see you again." He added with a noticeable twinkle in his eyes.

"Hello Dumbledore, it is nice to see you to, but you see Remus and I are in a hurry we need to get over to our old house so it could be fixed up for Harry to stay in this summer."

Dumbledore looked at both of them and then sighed, "I'm very sorry to have inform you of this Sirius, but Harry must go to the Dursleys' house for at least two weeks."

"What," Sirius said jumping up, "You can't do that I'm his godfather! He is in my care, and I'm not going to let him go, and I am pretty sure that he doesn't want to go there anyway. Dumbledore you can't do this!"

"Headmaster," Remus started much more calmly, "Are you sure that there is no other way to keep Harry from going to the Dursleys?"

"No, I'm very sorry, but you see by living with Harry's blood relatives, even if it is for a short while, he will be safe against Voldemort because of the blood magic that Lily had used to save Harry."

"I see," they both said very heartbroken, "Well I guess if it is to protect Harry then he has to go." Sirius finished.

Harry and Ron had decided that the needed some air before they would head into the Great Hall for dinner. The two had been dating since the summer and they could not believe that in two days the school year would be over, and they would not be able to see each other for awhile or maybe for the whole summer depending on wether or not the Weasleys could rescue him from the Dursleys. After a while they decided that they had kept Hermione waiting long enough they started to head up towards the Great Hall.

"Where in the world have you two been?" Hermione demanded as she ran over to the couple.

"We were just taking a walk," Harry answered, "Why? Is there something wrong?"

Instead of answering she just threw her copy of the Evening Prophet at him. Harry read the headline and dropped the paper and ran out of the hall, I have to talk to Professor Lupin, he thought as he ran straight to Professor Lupin's room.

"What's going on?" Ron asked then when he looked at the paper himself and saw that Harry's godfather, Sirius, had gotten his name cleared and that would mean that he would be able to become a free man. This made Ron overjoyed because since yesterday it seemed like Harry had became depressed and it hurt Ron to see Harry like that.

Harry had ran all of the way up to Remus' room and burst though the door. When he got there though not only did he see Sirius but also Professor Dumbledore. Harry immediately ran over to Sirius and gave him a huge hug.

"I can't believe that your name has been cleared," Harry nearly yelled, "Now I can live with you; I don't have to go back to the Dursleys."

"Um, listen Harry about that," Sirius started to say.

"If this is about you and Professor Lupin then I already know, and I'm ok with it. I happy to be able to live with both of you." Harry said very quickly.

"Really now," Sirius said looking over his shoulder at Remus smiling, "Thanks for saying that Harry it means a lot to me, but there is something else that we have to talk about."

"Ok what?"

"Harry as much as I hate to say it you can't come live with us right away you have to go back to the Dursleys for a while."

"What! No please don't make me go," he pleaded, "They hate me and I hate it there. I don't understand why I can't just go home with you guys. "

"You will get to live with us Harry, but Dumbledore said that you need to go there first. When two weeks are up, Remus and I will come and pick you up ok? Anyway we need to fix the house up first I don't think that anyone has lived there since before I went to Azkaban."

"I do hope you understand that there are very good reasons for why I'm sending you to the Dursleys." Dumbledore added.

"Well, school will be over soon," Dumbledore continued, "Why don't you go and spend some time with Ron and Hermione."

"Yeah, I guess that I will. Goodbye Sirius, Professor,"

"I also think it is time for me to leave." Then Dumbledore followed Harry out of the room.

"So," Sirius said as he made his was towards Remus and kissing him, "Well I think it is time to head back to the old house and get it ready for Harry."

"Well, Padfoot I was thinking that you should probably go take a shower first, because you smell and look awful." He said with a laugh.

"Only, if you take one with me." Sirius replied with a smile.

"If that is the only way to get you to take a shower," Remus said with his own smile, "then I guess I really don't have no choice do I?."

After their shower they decided that it was time to apparate over to their house. When they arrived to the old house Sirius couldn't believe the state of it. There use to be a beautiful garden in the front and it had a very cozy and homey appearance. It had been the type of house that Sirius had always dreamed of living in, but now though it looked like trash. There where weeds everywhere and the shutters where falling off and the house was just in shambles.

"Well Moony I guess we are going to have a lot of work ahead of us."

"Yeah, I'm so sorry Sirius I should have just kept living here, but after they took you away I just couldn't it was just to painful."

"Its ok love, I understand" He said kissing Remus' forehead.

The house's inside looked a lot better then the out side, because the inside was just covered in dust and cobwebs. It was nothing that hours of cleaning wouldn't fix.

"I guess we should just start here," Remus suggested, "and make our way though each room."

"Sounds like a plan to me." Sirius replied as he started to roll up his sleeves with a huge smile on his face.
