Chapter Two

"Coming Back"

Sirius could still hear the duel going on from the inside of the veil. He heard Harry yelling for him as if his life depended on his reappearance. Sirius's heart broke at the tone in the boys' voice. He desperately kept yelling the counter curse for the stunning spell in his head, hoping he could unfreeze himself before Harry did anything drastic. About 5 tries later Sirius succeeded. As he quickly got to his feet he heard Remus yell "No Harry!"

Sirius's pulse quickened at the tone in his friends voice. He ran towards the entrance of the veil nearly tumbling down the steps in his haste to find his godson. He caught a glimpse of Harry yelling and chasing Bellatrix out the door of the veil room and into the brain room.

"HARRY!" yelled Sirius but it was too late, Harry had already followed Bellatrix through the door. Sirius ran as quickly as he could towards the door only to have an arm catch him around the chest.

"Sirius! What happened!" asked Remus "why didn't you come back right away?"

"I couldn't, I was stunned and I tried to say the counter curse in my head but you know I'm rubbish with nonverbal spells." Sirius said, trying to step away from his friend to continue out the door, but Remus was persistent and kept his arm up to prevent his escape. "Remus! I have to go find Harry!" Sirius said as he once again pulled away from Remus who let his arm drop to his side allowing Sirius passage.

"Sirius!" Remus called after him.

Sirius turned around to look at his friend. "I hope you know how lucky you are.. Harry tore out of here after Bellatrix because he thought he lost you, he truly cares a lot about you"Remus said "Sirius, just be careful. I don't want to have to lose you twice."

Sirius nodded and offered a small smile "I know he came here to save me. He has a good heart, just like his mum." Said Sirius and with that he turned and bolted through the door to the brain room, where he almost ran into Dumbledore.

"Sirius, my dear boy, where are you going?" asked Dumbledore

"To save my godson! Now get out of my way." he said in annoyance as he tried to push past Dumbledore.

"I can not allow you to go after him Sirius. I…" started Dumbledore in a calm voice that only made Sirius's temper flare.

"Listen here Dumbledore! No one is going to get in my way…" Sirius interrupted with a yell.

"Sirius! I can not allow you to do that. Can you imagine how devastated your godson would be to not having just lost you once, but twice in one day? The boy was absolutely devastated when you fell through that veil. Let me finish!" Dumbledore said urgently as he raised his hand to cut Sirius's retort off. "I want you to go to my office and wait there while I go help Harry. I am sure that the ministry employees will soon be arriving. It wouldn't do for you to get caught when we can finally possibly prove your innocence now would it?" Dumbledore questioned him his eyes twinkling as Sirius gaped at him. "I will send Harry to my office as soon as I am sure that he is fine. Do you understand Sirius?" Sirius nodded "Good now take this and you will arrive in my office." Said Dumbledore as held out a paper weight to Sirius.

Sirius took the paper weight and he felt a jerk around his navel and his feet slammed into the floor of the office making him lose his balance. Sirius stood up slowly looking around as he brushed himself off. It had been years since he had last seen the headmaster's office. He glared at his great uncles portrait despising him for the fact that his uncle reminded too much of his awful mother.

Sirius sat down on the plush cushion of the couch and waited. He waited for what seemed like eternity. Worrying about what could possibly be taking so long for Dumbledore to send Harry along. What had happened? Was Harry alright? He paled as he thought of the worst. He definitely couldn't handle losing his godson. Sirius fidgeted in his seat as his thoughts started to haunt him. Suddenly there was a thump and Harry landed sprawled out on the floor. Sirius went to get up and help him, but Harry was already on his feet and heading straight for the door and tried to open it with no success.

"Damn it!" said Harry as he kicked the door in frustration. Harry started to pace by the door not noticing Sirius who was watching him with an air of caution at his godsons actions.

"Normally, I would reprimand you on language but as I use the same language myself, I have no room to talk." Sirius quirked. Harry whipped around, wide eyed and a gasp on his lips.

"What the Bloody Hell!"
