As Danny goes away, Mr Sirius Black apparates back home to the home he hates and the place everyone he loves is. He opens the door as quietly as humanly possible and sneaks through the house in the direction of crying.
"I should have done something!" Harry's voice shouts from inside.
Sirius listens in for a moment.
"Harry dear, there was nothing you could have done." Molly comforts. Sirius can guess that Molly is comforting Harry while everyone mourns his supposed 'death'.
Sirius walks into the doorway and, as expected, everyone has tears in their eyes. Some more than others. Remus Lupin is on his own on one side of the room, Alastor Moody and Severus Snape are sat down on the large table, Arthur and Molly are comforting Harry also on the table, Albus Dumbledore is stood with an unreadable expression next to Charlie and Bill, The twins are lingering about, Ginny is with Tonks and Hermione. Everyone seems to be in a state of despair.
Sirius knocks on the door frame. Everyone looks up to the sudden noise.
"What are you all moping around for? Did someone die?"Sirius gives one of his signature grins. In a quick, fluid moment, everyone in the room pulls out their wand to point it at Sirius. All but Dumbledore.
"Who are you!" Harry demands. Sirius scoffs.
"This is the welcome I get for surviving a fall through the vail, facing strange yet powerful types of ghost and making it all the way from America?" Sirius jokes again.
"Sirius!" Harry roars and jumps into a hug.
"Harry my boy. Are you alright? what happened? did they hurt you?" Sirius rambles off. Everyone comes forward with their wands put away.
"Don't ever do that again!" Harry shouts.
"Sirius," Dumbledore grabs everyone's attention, "Do you mind informing us how you are back?" Sirius smiles.
"It's a... Strange story mind you." He says. Dumbledore grabs a chair and sits down at his own pace.
"I think we can handle it." And at that moment everyone sits down with Harry and Lupin next to Sirius as he tells the tail as it is. Including this strange boy and the misunderstood vail, or as it really is, the Infinite Realms. After the tale, everyone's jaws were seemingly broken.
"Do you think this Danny-" Lupin runs off the obvious question.
"Can we ask tomorrow. I can go get him and bring him here." Sirius sighs.
"A muggle ghost? That's intriguing." Molly states. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Indeed they are." Sirius laughs. The one that helped me takes the form of a large furry beast with ice as an arm. However, they are actually very kind. Calls the ghost kid 'great one' as he helped them."
"Great one?" Arthur asks. Sirius waves it off.
"Afraid that can be his job to tell you all tomorrow." They all hang out and have a small celebration to welcome Sirius back from the 'dead'. Maybe everything is going to end up alright. And if not? Well, they are sure a young muggle halfa can help them out.
I have to say, I was in a really good mood to do more to this but then I started thinking of a story with Batman and Danny which was my dream last night and I like so I might make it into a one-shot for later continuation and this story idea went fuzzy. Ironic that my literal dream was stronger than my idea. Anyway sorry for this strange update. Have a good one!
