Return Of The Marauders

Warnings: This is going to be the night after he gets the map and without anyone doing anymore decisions as he decides on his own judgements now. And they decide to jump over a few things in this. As her second prophecy is delayed and the only thing left for them to worry about is getting the dementors out of the school as he spends the rest of the term in peace.

Disclaimers: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling and Warner brothers

Chapter 3: Finding Padfoot And Training Begins

Before he could answer me, I heard a new voice come into the conversation, and say it gently to me. "You don't have the find me Albus, that map shows how to get in and out without being seen. I know you're thinking the map is lying, but it's jinxed to tell the truth, duty to the truth. I maybe a jokester, but I never lied to you before Professor and why start now exactly, that's why we jinxed it so if this ever happened now."

"The guys and I had a way to get the truth out, and this was right on schedule twins, we created this when we were your brother's age. It took us the better part of three years and by mid year five we managed it. We could each turn into a different animal at random, James and me, we were big animals to control Remus. But as we couldn't keep him company as humans, we could as animals." he said and I watched them nod gently.

"So you used this year's lesson to to turn yourself into animagi?" Flitwick said and he nodded as he answered him. "Yes and it was after we did that we created the map, but I was hoping for this. I was hiding gently, waiting for the twins to give it to Harry, but I was hiding under his bed with everyone else on the property. Or at the village, I heard the entire conversation kids, but the added side effect is, in our animal form."

"If you can concentrate hard enough you can send your thoughts directly into the map, I was waiting for you to figure this out. And you have no idea how thrilled I am that you figured it out before I could tell you, cub. My voice in the map, I was under your bed and pushed my thoughts into the map to answer your question. But bring it to Mooney, he can confirm and you have the traitor now." I heard and turned to see a man there.

And looking like he'd been on the run for several months. Walking up to him, Remus gave him a hug then. "To know for sure, hearing your testimony is not enough we need you to swear on your magic. That's your only chance now Sirius, to confirm you're innocent now we have to, Padfoot." Remus said and the twins looked up in shock at the nickname. "Padfoot?" George said and he nodded to him gently at that.

"Was that how you normally sound, if you weren't loaded with anger, now that you don't have to tell me why exactly?" I said as he moved to me and he nodded as he stroked his hand through my hair. And I looked into his eyes to see the 21 year old man from my memories. "Seeing you like this I see your father, but you have your father's appearance, but your mother's entire personality." Sirius said moving to me gently and I nodded.

Feeling the happiness and grief shoot through me, I buried my head into his shoulder. "Shh, it's okay cub, you got me back, I'm back, you got me back, Merlin I missed you so much, Remus created the album for you as final gift, well you have two of us back now. And to answer you George yes, I'm Padfoot, Remus is Mooney, Peter was Wormtail and James was Prongs, his father and I named him Bambi when he was born at the time."

"But 12 years separation, all I wanted was my friends and cub back, I miss his parents so much that. Learning they were gone, it tore my heart out, but I want his parents back. I have what's left of my family, but his father, I want my brother back." he said and I stood up then as pulled me into a hug and I buried my head into his shoulder. "All I wanted was my parents back, but you two that helps." I said and he nodded to me then.

"Sirius, we need the final proof, say it." Dumbledore said and passed him Pettigrew's wand and he nodded. "I solemnly swear on my magic I never killed those muggles or turned the Potters into Lord Voldemort. That I'm an undercover auror doing a sting operation and I am innocent of all charges, so mote it be." he said as the wand flashed. "Expecto Patronum!" he shouted and the results were a animal made of our smoke.

"What the heck is that exactly?" I asked and Remus explained that. "It's a charm to deflect a dementor, I used it to get the one that attacked us out of our compartment. That night of orientation for the first years, but it drains a large amount of energy out of you and the remedy is by eating chocolate, the older you get and the more energy you to do it without it weakening you." he said as he passed him a candy bar and he ate it.

Grabbing a cup of water, he gave it to him and I watched the exhaustion in his eyes start wearing off. "So swear on your magic and if true you keep your magic, lie and you lose your magic, that's my ticket out of a possible case of ridicule next year. If I get framed for entering a competition for teenage wizards." I said and they nodded to me gently and I smiled as I said it out loud gently as I pulled my wand out then and looked at the map.

"Dad, did he have a desire in regarding purging the entire castle of muggle borns and did he have a problem with half bloods?" I said and a new message was written out at that. "No but the castle was created in the dark ages and back then it was anti magic, all the muggles. They saw this in the same way the puritans did, and associated magic as the work of demons and the devil back then now."

"But Binns, he's not giving you enough so go to our family library and check there, you can learn more from our family history then you can from him. But Salazar though he didn't want muggles being taught, he saw the need for it and the half bloods. He said that you could live both ways and still keep our kind secrets, or at least you did until you borrowed Arthur's car last year."

"Now normally I'd find that funny, but young man don't try that twice before you scare your mother-in-law and Emma into a heart attack, would you please." I read out and nodded as the guys and I tried to keep from laughing at the bemused tone in my father's handwriting. "I'll find out later why you did that, but to repeat that, don't try that twice Harry, because he's right, you keep this up in these daredevil stunts."

"You keep pulling and you're going to scare us into a heart attack right now son, so watch it." Remus said and I nodded as I tried out the truth spell as I said it. "I swear on my magic I am not the heir of Slytherin, by blood, but by conquest to destroy Lord Voldemort and I never opened up the chamber of secrets, so mote it be." I said and my wand flashed and I smiled. "Expecto Patronum!" I called out a blast of light flew out of my wand acting as a shield.

"Good, that's real good, but you have to focus now and I can teach you how to use this spell, but what's your happiest memory now." Remus said and Sirius finished that smiling then gently. "Because they suck out every good memory so focus." Sirius said and I nodded as I thought it over and then grinned. As I realized my time on Privet Drive had now dropped to only three weeks and I was living with my godfather and uncle."

And pulled my wand as I shouted it out. "Expecto Patronum!" I said and this time I saw a stag and doe standing there and they grinned at the demonstration as the trio smiled at that. "Your father couldn't do that on the first try, I think you could give your father a run for his money, and that's saying something right now." Remus said smiling and I nodded. "You think you could train me in doing this, I have both of you back now and I need a tutor now." I said and they nodded and I smiled as Sirius said it to him gently.

"Sure son, and with it, Severus, if he's going into the auror program, you still have you textbook?" he asked and Snape nodded to him gently and I looked between them as Severus answered that question with a bemused look. "Potter my mother's maiden name is Prince and I'm a half-blood, so put them together." he said and I nodded. "Accio, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince." I called out and a flew in as I saw a book twice as big.

As the one on the desk appeared through the window and I looked at him. "I think I ended up with your text book and you were training me without my realizing it." I said and he nodded as he read the book and nodded as Mione sighed at the remark as she looked between us. "Remedial potions, more like advanced potions in this case, but your mother was the next best potions student just behind me and my mother."

"She was potions prodigy, she was just like Slughorn, to answer the unasked question he was our potions professor when we were your age. So if we get him next, just use my tips and you can pass the class with your eyes closed now." he said and I nodded to his suggestion. "Isn't that cheating though?" she asked and he shook his head. "He's got my help by trying to turn up his skills now, though I'm not teaching him directly."

"I'm still training him to get better in potions right now, this attitude of yours, regarding being the best in class is going too far and is wearing thin on my patience, young lady. That's why I said that to you that day in class, the others deserve a chance to to shine, as does he, so let him shine now and with it let the others do the same now." he said and she nodded to him with a sigh and I looked at him gently as I said it to him then.

"She spoke out of turn once, and you turned to us regarding the question, you were hoping once of us would double check the book and tell you the difference?" I asked and he nodded to me. "Yes that's right, I was testing you, but that situation with the boggart was another jab at me when we were kids at the time. But that sums it up, I figured if you didn't know then you didn't remember him as a wolf, but when on his potion he's like an over-sized wolf."

"When not and he looks like the monster on that movie based in London." he said and I nodded to him. "I don't, but with the fact I do know, I don't care, because it's not what he, or you, are, but what you do that counts. Him he's trying to protect witches and wizards from other werewolves and dark creatures by teaching us everything we need to know. You, its the case touch of teaching us everything we need to know, but have the wand and not need it."

"Or need the wand and be without, once we get into a war with these characters, its the added act of getting attacked and it not being risk free here." I said and he nodded to me with a slight smile at that. "Yes very good, that's exactly the point, if you get attacked by a death eater and a shootout ensues, it's not going to be risk free. But more of case of kill or be killed Harry." he said and I nodded to him as I looked at him and smiled as I answered him gently at that.

As I looked between him and Remus. "I suppose you both were the best in your class when you were my age, but mom was what and Ollivander said dad was your best student grandma. Because I think I turned into them since I found you now?" I asked and they smiled as Sirius explained that to me as I looked between them. "Indeed, and to answer your question now in that, Severus was interested in the dark arts slightly, but then he was preparing to become a turncoat."

"He's double agent actually he turned on Voldemort for your mother and tried to protect you three at the time until that backfired by the fidelius charm. To explain that one, it's a charm to protect in witness protection and, it's to hide a safe house and the only one's connected to the victim can get in, because the hide out is jinxed to look like whatever is sitting there right now. But it's meant to protect you from anyone studying the dark-arts now at the moment."

"But here's the truth about what happened 12 years ago, but like we said I was your father's best friend and he named me your godfather and legal guardian in case anything happened to them. But I was your parents secret keeper, before I suggested that Peter here take my place. And this was a test, so once he got placed as secret keeper immediately turned that information into..., Riddle was it, but that explains that story to what really happened that night, your father and I set a trap for Peter." he said and Pettigrew paled at the news as Sirius went further to me gently

"And he took the bait and I was doing my job by turning him into Mad-eye and Amelia, for murder and breaking the charm, but trust me she's going to kill him when she learns this at the moment." Sirius said and I nodded. "To answer the other question is your father and I were the best in our class at everything we did. Your mother was like Mione here, and she excelled in everything, but she dropped Divination and Muggle studies, but did everything else."

"But, and I don't have to see the spooked look in your eyes young lady, you're carrying a time turner, we're going to need that, if he intends to not listen. And he's being bribed Malfoy right now over what Buckbeak did, but then that's the truth, the truth is in the books and written in stone now. So we have to use that, but as you tamed him Harry, you and she have to be the one to do this, as I'm free to go once the truth gets out." he added and we nodded to him gently.

"Out of curiosity, what do you look if you were cleaned up exactly?" Mione asked and he did a image of himself as I saw him with clean clothes and the gentle look of laughter in his greyish green eyes and smiled. "Dad maybe gone, but you and the Professors aren't Sirius, but I have you three, and I found Uncle Dan and have Mr. Weasley. So five father's, but all four of you lost your chance at seeing me grow up, time to fix that now."

"You can raise me in your way for the next five years now guys." I said and they nodded in agreement. "That's actually the problem Harry, I've been trying to deal with the loss of your mother for years, that when I met you all I saw was your father. Remembering us as children, and the fact that your mother ended up in Gryffindor. That I lost her, because I was always around death eater spawn." he said and I nodded to him gently.

"To understand the dark arts you have to live them for real, sounds like to understand the dark-side, you have to fall into the pit and get burned by the flames." Mione said and he nodded. "That's exactly what we mean, to understand the dark arts you have to repeatedly face them and at times get burned while doing it. If next year results in a murder and you have to face him for real, it's being trained as an auror to do it."

"I guess you want to follow in your father and my footsteps while you have Albus, Alastor and Severus training you to face that mission?" Sirius asked and I nodded to him. "Yeah that's what I want, fours years training to survive and my first step. In this situation, but I save you, turn him in, and we save Buckbeak. I pull off the impossible, though that's not if Fudge decides to leave them here or not right now, though it is and its trouble."

"But all the rumors are not true, but to quote you, and I'm not being modest now, facing this stuff in real life, is not like school. In you school you make a mistake and you can try again tomorrow, but out there, when you're seeing someone you love die. Or are seconds away from being killed yourselves, you don't know what that's like. Things are going to change and we have to face that change." I said and the quintet nodded to me.

"I'm not as innocent you as realize you guys, these missions, they changed me, but all in all, so long as I never lose everyone I love, I can do this. But I will take as many death eaters as I can with me and Riddle to while I'm at it now. But either way his days are numbered now, and you Peter, are spending years in Azkaban. And for the murder of 20 muggles and my parents." I said sharply and Dumbldore said it gently at that.

"Better stop playing detective, because the results are going to get you even worse circumstances if you expose a conspiracy next. And the last one barely killed you last year, after you killed that thing, Harry, before you ask. I'll explain later boys, but we better finish this now, Minerva, Severus you have the truth now. And Severus it's time to let it go as we changed the book." Dumbledore said pointing at the book on the table.

"Well that sums it up for us, you were innocent of all charges this time, so Wormtail here sold his soul for protection from a maniac?" Fred said, crossing his arms, pulling back. Looking at my godfather, I said it then. "You know the worst thing about this, it's that these fools, the light side wizards, all place too much faith in their belief and as a result. I mean sure you got that look, but you're harmless, it's the same for me."

"But this Weasel, he doesn't look dangerous and he is, that's exactly the point, never judge a book by its cover and they did exactly that. And with it that they sentenced me to a living hell, you better listen to this remark." I said as I thought it over and then smiled as I said and created my own spell for the first time. "Visions of the future, visions of the past, bring forth what once was last words spoken in anger by family."

"Truths revealed before thee, bring it forth, so mote it be." I said as we appeared in my memory of the day Hagrid arrived. "Alright what the Hades were you doing there exactly if I had to send him to deliver it to you?" she asked and I explained that to her. "After a week of letters and he was doing anything he could at the time now. To keep the truth from getting to me, exactly words being now, and you're really going to be furious."

"We swore when we took him in, we'd put a stop to all this rubbish.'." I said and Ron thought it over and paled. "Take your shirt off Harry, I have to be sure." he said and I nodded as I removed my robes and the took of my sweater and uniform as they saw my back and Remus nodded as he said it slowly. "They tried to stamp out his magic, that could left him worse then dead, and instead they just made him even more powerful."

"He's like the muggle children that suffer disabilities, but can lead completely normal lives." he said and Dumbledore nodded. "I'm beyond thankful that it didn't turn inward and I'll explain why later. But if you could alter the books, the first three stories. So I know every facet to the truth, it's enough to pull this off now." he said and I nodded. "And I want to know, there's so much I wanted to know, about my parents."

"About of all of you, that the questions started piling up so highly that the issue of blowing up Marge. I lost control, I didn't mean to blow her up, but she was taunting me. Sirius, Remus there's more to the story then you think now. Accio, Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone and Chamber of Secrets." I said and they both flew in through the window, looking at the map I said it gently to it at that knowing my father was in it.

"Dad, did you download your imprints into this map when you created this, because if I can talk to you like this. I at least have you in some form and I have you and the duo taking care of and training me when on summer break?" I asked and a gentle message was written out. "Yes son we did, in fact we were hoping you'd figure this out, if anything happened to me, you had me in some form as someone to talk to."

"As for our belief system you're very correct, it's not the family or the house that counts, it's your belief. The other wizards Inthe other two houses and the neutrals, they place too much faith in the company they keep. And some members of Gryffindor, they all place too much faith in the fact. Now that we're in said house and could never go to the darkside, but listen to me carefully."

"That belief system can do enough damage that the results are exactly what happened to you now. Sirius was thrown in jail without a trial and it's because Fudge is being bribed by the death eaters, time to pull the plug Bambi. Time to take out the rubbish." I read out and we nodded as a secondary message wrote out. "Sev, you hear me?" he said through me and he nodded as he explained this to him.

"Yes I do and don't call me that James, you know she's the only one who can right now." he said and Sirius chuckled at the bemused look on his face. "Severus, what happened that night was neither my intention or Sirius's. In fact it was so they could get you off of our backs, but hearing you went into that tree. And he's 3/4's transformed that why I had to get you out of there and fast."

"I was never in on that practical joke that Peter pulled on you, and Sirius was kidding when he told you to do that. But he never expected you to take him at his word and with that in mind, I should tell you that the tree was not my idea, it was his. It was Pettigrew's, and again, the next time I tell you to leave us alone, do it okay." Sirius read out and pointed at Pettigrew and Severus nodded.
