Chapter 3
A/N: I want to clarify that in the previous chapter when the glamour came undone, he didn't know about it before. But because his magic is so strong it broke the glamour. He could feel his height changing and his magic reacting to his eyes.
When Orion entered the room of requirement, he didn't know what to expect. He thought that with everything he learned about Dumbledore it couldn't get much worse. He forgot to get his other statements from Gringotts and didn't have more than suspicion that Dumbledore was the one giving his "friends" access to his vaults. Clearing his thoughts, he put his attention to the man before him.
"Dad?" Orion asked in a small voice. He looked the same as he did since the last time Orion saw him. His black hair looked greasy and messy. He cheeks looked hollow and he was still so unhealthily thin. He was in the corner of the room with his head in his hands. He didn't seem to have heard Orion.
When Orion started to walk towards his dad, Snape put a hand on his arm. "Careful Potter. We don't know how he will react if we get too close to him."
Orion pulled his arm out of Snape's reach. "He's not a rabid animal Snape. And its Potter-Black," he exclaimed exasperatedly. Once the last part of his sentence was uttered, he saw his dad's head snap up. His gray eyes were dull but he saw a hint of a spark in them. Surprise. Love. There. He had confirmation that his dad knew who he was. Orion took shaky steps towards his dad and stopped once he was about 2 feet away. Orion fell to his knees and tried not to cry at the slight fear that was coming off of his dad.
His dad's grey eyes were glossy and he closed his eyes tightly. "Not real. He's not real. It's another trick," he muttered.
If Orion wasn't as close as he was, he wouldn't have heard a word. "No dad. It's really me. I just went to Gringotts and read dad's letter. I'm so sorry. If I had known you were alive, I would've come a lot sooner. Dumbledore and the order told me you were dead and I was too consumed in my grief to notice anything suspicious and-" Orion was babbling until he felt the rage pouring off of his dad. That's where I get it from he thought to himself.
"That bastard,' his dad chocked out, 'Is the reason why I'm in here!" Orion's mouth had dropped open. Even though he suspected it he didn't want it to be true. From the surprise coming off of Snape, he didn't know either.
"What do you mean?" Orion eventually asked. He didn't know if he was ready to hear the answer, but steeled himself anyways.
"After I fell into the veil, I remembered everything. It seemed that the veil couldn't take my soul and instead returned me and that included my memories. When I woke up, I was in this room. Dumbledore was in here along with Molly Weasley,' at this point he reached out to give Orion's hand a squeeze, 'Dumbledore then said that there was no point in erasing my memory since no one could find me in here. I can't believe that bastard knew I was innocent and kept me in Azkaban so I wouldn't raise you. I failed James. I failed you."
Orion didn't hesitate to reach out and give him a hug. For a moment his dad stiffened, but then relaxed once he was reassured it was indeed his son. "You didn't fail us. There was no way you could've known what was going on before you remembered. None of this is your fault. It's Dumbledore's and anyone else that followed him. They're going to pay for what they did to you dad. I promise."
Once he was calm, his dad pulled away from him and gave him an intense look. "You look exactly like James, except for your eyes and your height. Merlin, I'm so sorry Har- Orion."
Orion gave him a stern look. "Stop dad. It's not your fault. It's Dumbledore's.' He stopped talking to turn to Snape. 'Kind of suspicious that he chose to die before any of this could come to light."
Snape thought for a moment before replying, "Indeed. He seems to have manipulate everything and everyone around him. I am curious as to why Molly Weasley was in on it."
Orion paused to get control over his rage. "I could answer that. It seems that Ron, Ginny, and Hermione were taking money out of my vaults. I don't know why they were allowed but after hearing everything I know Dumbledore is to blame. I'm guessing Dumbledore promised Molly that I would marry Ginny once the battle was finished."
"Marry Ginny? What would give you that idea?" His dad asked.
"A day after the battle, Ginny took Lily's engagement ring out of the main Potter Vault," he said evenly. What he didn't expect was the anger coming from Snape. He turned to look at him only to see that Snape looked completely indifferent compared to what he was feeling. Did Snape know Lily? Before he could voice this question out loud, his dad squeezed his shoulder. He continued, "I was supposed to view my statements at Gringotts but I got distracted by dad's letter."
"Do you have the box Orion? The one the both of us made for you?" asked his dad. He hoped that his son had it. He wanted Orion to have something of his dad.
Orion smiled before pulling it out of his bag. He whispered the words and handed it to his dad. "I had my doubts about the fact that dad was the one who gave birth to me, but once I saw the photos, I knew it was true."
Orion watched as his dad looked at the photos with tears falling silently down his face. "We were so shocked to learn that he was pregnant with you. Even though were scared because of the war, we were so excited. James even more so. He didn't think he'd ever get to experience pregnancy and he was always so proud."
See him getting lost in his memories, Orion hugged him again. "I'm so glad you're alive dad. Once all of this mess is cleared up, we're leaving. Would you like to start over?"
Hope. Happiness. Excitement. "I would love that pup," he said softly.
Orion turned slightly pink and cleared his throat. "Well, let's get you out of here dad. We need to get you to Madam Pomfrey."
Standing up he reached a hand out to his dad. Orion carefully lifted his dad up with the help of Snape. His dad turned towards to Snape and said, "Thank you Severus. I'm sorry for what we did to you, but-" Severus held up his hand.
"It's in the past. Lily's letter explained," Snape clarified. Orion was curious as to what they were talking about, but pushed it to the back of his mind. The only important thing at the moment is getting his father to the healer.
They walked in silence to the infirmary, taking in all the information they've heard. Orion ignored the whispering about his appearance. They just don't know when to stop he thought. Feeling the same panic he felt earlier, he turned his head to the left to see Ron and Hermione. They were both pale when they saw Sirius. They knew. He doesn't have the energy to get angry, so he turned his attention to his dad. "Come on dad. We need to get you checked out."
"I'm walking as fast I can pup. My bones are old," his dad joked. Orion rolled his eyes good-naturedly and smiled at the term of endearment.
As they walked into the infirmary, Orion braced himself. Madam Pomfrey was a scary woman when she wanted to be. He was supposed to see the healer yesterday, but once he got the statement he completely forgot. His exhaustion was starting to creep up on him and he knew he needed to get some rest after his father got checked out. After all the battle was only the day before yesterday.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER! You were supposed to come see me yesterday! Just because you're 17 does not mean you're invincible. Honestly, you think you'd know better than to-" Madam Pomfrey's eyes went wide when she finally caught sight of Sirius. Her eyes also went to Orion and back to Sirius. For some reason Orion was relieved to see that at least someone was surprised by his change in appearance.
Feeling amusement coming from his father, Orion couldn't help but chuckle. "I think this is the first time I've ever seen her speechless dad."
At the word dad, her eyes went even more wide. "What in the world have you been up to?" She demanded.
"We'll tell you everything once my dad gets looked over. He needs proper rest and healing potions," Orion said adamantly.
Madam Pomfrey quickly got to work and began to check him over. The process took about 5 minutes before she gave him a malnutrition potion and some basic healing potions. Orion was grateful that his dad wasn't beat or anything. He didn't know what he'd do if he was. Once she was done, she gave Sirius a dreamless sleep potion. Before he could protest, she tilted his head back and gave him some. "You need to rest," she stated.
When Sirius fell asleep, Madam Pomfrey turned towards Orion and demanded her answers. Orion then explained how his friends had betrayed him and how he came into the knowledge that Sirius was his father. He even told her that Dumbledore was the reason Sirius was locked in that room and that he was most likely the person to give his ex-friends access to his vaults. Orion hesitated to tell her about Molly, but at the look she gave him he began to tell her that he suspects she was in on it to get him to marry Ginny.
Once he finished telling her everything, she beckoned him over to the bed by his dad. "You need to sleep to Orion. I will help in any way I can. I'm sure Professor McGonagall will also help." With this knowledge, he fell into a deep sleep.
He was awoken to screaming and groaned. He'd recognize that voice anywhere. Ginny Weasley. "Why won you let me in! I am Harry's girlfriend and I demand you to take me to him right now!"
He hid a smile when Madam Pomfrey spoke. "Ms. Weasley! You are disturbing my patients and quite frankly your voice is grating on my ears. Now, I will ask that you leave right now."
His smile was soon replaced with a frown when he felt the emotions coming off of Ginny. Panic. Desperation. Arousal. Orion had to hide a gag. Even if he wasn't gay, he wouldn't touch her with a 10-foot pole. After all, she was a less pretty version of Lily. Merlin, he wished he wasn't an empath at this moment. His gift was getting harder to control and he didn't like how her emotions were affecting him.
Orion sat up and eyed Ginny with disgust. She was so plain with her red hair and brown eyes. "For the last and final time. You honestly are nothing to him. In fact, I'm gay," Orion stated proudly. He enjoyed the anger rolling off of her and he put a bright smile on his face. He caught sight of a ring on her finger and now he was the one that was angry. He couldn't believe she had the stupidity to come in here with Lily's ring on. "Accio Lily's engagement ring," he shouted. The ring flew into his hand and he quickly put it into his pocket.
Ginny looked like a deer caught in headlights and tried to run. "Incarcerous," he yelled. Once the ropes were conjured, he went to her while speaking to the healer. "Madam could you please call Minister Shacklebolt? I have some business to deal with."
Without a word, Madam Pomfrey left the room in a hurry. Looking over his shoulder he saw that Sirius was still sleeping. Hearing the commotion, Ron and Hermione ran into the room. When Ron saw his sister tied up, he turned an ugly shade of red and tried to curse Orion. "Sectum-" before he could finish, Orion stunned him and used the same spell on Hermione as he did on Ginny.
"How dare you try and use that curse on me! You know exactly what that spell does. You are nothing but a coward and I will watch as you, your sister, mother and girlfriend go to Azkaban. Dumbledore isn't here to save you anymore," Orion shouted. Before his magic got out of control, he felt hands on his shoulder. He instantly calmed down knowing that it was his father.
Before he could yell at them some more, Minister Kingsley entered the room with 3 Aurors. "What is the meaning of this Harry?" he asked.
"I recently discovered that these three have been stealing from me. Albus Dumbledore didn't inform me of any withdrawals that were made and that itself is illegal.' he turned to look at the three. 'Seconds before you came in here Minister, Ron almost used the sectumempra curse on me. That curse is meant to cut and cause severe hemorrhaging."
He saw that Ron was awake and was turning pale. He knew he was in for it. In fact, Hermione and Ginny were also turning pale. Minister Kingsley cleared his throat before asking, "Is there anything else Harry?" He phrased the question in a rhetorical sense, but Orion had one more thing.
He looked behind him and noticed that his dad moved a few steps back. He motioned him to come over and looked the Minister straight in his eyes. "Yes, there is one more thing. I want Molly Weasley arrested for her part in kidnapping and hiding my father." When his dad stepped in front of his son. Minister Kingsley looked as if he was going to faint. Everyone seemed to be in the same state as him. The Aurors were shocked into silence and didn't seem to notice that their Minister was swaying a little. Once he was steady, he motioned for the Aurors to take them to the holding cells.
"We will take them immediately Harry. I will set the trial for next week," Minister Kingsley said.
"I'd rather you do it tomorrow. My dad and I are leaving and won't be returning to England," Orion stated.
The Minister nodded in understanding even though Harry could feel the loss coming from him. "Then you shall have it. I will set the trial for 12:00 p.m. tomorrow. I ask that you bring Sirius and anyone else who was involved."
Orion nodded and turned towards his dad. "So where shall we go after the trial?"
Alice Cullen came out of a vision and starting squealing. Jasper, feeling her emotions asked, "What did you see Alice?"
When she saw Edward trying to read her thoughts, she starting to think about shopping and the different kinds of clothes she wants to buy.
"Don't worry it's nothing bad. In fact, it's going to change our lives in a very good away. Especially you Edward," Alice practically singed. Everyone looked at her in confusion, but trusted her words.
Edward scoffed and turned away to go to his piano. He couldn't help but feel a pressure in his chest as he kept thinking about Alice's words. Then one word that ran through his head made him freeze. Mate.
