Authors Note: This chapter will be shorter than it would of been due to the fact that while in the middle of writing this chapter the program I was using decided to freeze and close down, causing me to loose quite a bit of the work. Gotta love WordPerfect X6.

Chapter 2: Truth

Sirius moved over bending down to pick up Harry's wand from the floor, holding it between his fingers looking over it, it was then that Sirius realized that the person in front of him wasn't James, he couldn't be the wand that he held was surely not James'. Sirius' eyes glanced up and over the other male in front of him, taking in every aspect of the person in front of him, when his eyes fell on Harry's eyes.

"Harry... No... It couldn't be, is that really you Harry?"

He spoke in a confused tone, he didn't understand. How could this person standing in front of him be Harry. Sirius twirled the others wand between his fingers, going over everything in his mind, he had just been attacked, they where all just in a battle, but if that was true where was everyone else that had been there, it seemed as if Harry and him where the only two around and on top of that the room was silent and un disturbed, there was no blood, dust was settled all around as if no one had been in the room for quite a while possibly even years.

Harry moved towards the other reaching out, placing his hand on the others chest to make sure that Sirius wasn't just a figment of his imagination, that the other person was surely standing there right in front of him. Harry's fingers grabbed tight onto the others shirt, unwilling to let go.

"You, you died years ago... that is what everyone told me, they told me that when you fell through the Veil that you must have been hit by the killing curse that Bellatrix had thrown at you, they said that there was no way that you could of survived it...I saw it all... but you are here now... you are alive... how did you survive..."

Harry's eyes spilled over with tears as he began to cry, overcome with joy. He was alive, Sirius was actually alive, his grip on the others shirt tightened, his body shaking, he was a complete mess, but at this moment he didn't care, he didn't care if he was crying, if he looked a fool, all he cared about was that his godfather was there, that it meant that one more person he loved had survived the war.

Sirius reached down slowly, and gently gripping onto the others hands pulling them away from his shirt, standing there with a gentle, but concerned look on his face.

" Harry... I do not know everything that has happened, and what you have gone through, I can only Imagine the pain you have gone through."

Sirius fell silent for a moment, then pulled the other into a tight embrace, holding him close.

" you said that several years have passed... I can tell it is true, and I am sure you have been through hell and back."

Sirius placed one of his hands on the back of Harry's head, standing silently, letting the other cry, letting him release all the sadness, pain, anger, and relief of everything that had happened, and everything that was going on.

After what seemed like forever Harry slowly began to calm down, taking a deep breath as he pulled away from the other, looking at him.

"Sirius... there is so much that happened, so much that I have to tell you..."

Harry clenched his fist, he dreaded having to tell the other about all the deaths, everything that had happened, and how one of Sirius' long time friends was now dead. Sirius raised a hand to interrupt Harry's thought process.

"You can tell me about all of that later Harry, you have already been through enough, and I am sure tonight has been more than a shock to you, as I know it has been for me."

Harry nodded breathing out, it was a relief to know that he didn't have to tell Sirius about Remus and the others, at least not right at that moment.

"Then... we should probably get out of here, it would probably be hard to explain to someone, if they saw you here, and I am sure that people wouldn't be as quick to trust that you are actually who you look like and who you say you are... and that is also a lot of paperwork I really do not feel like doing right now"

Harry let out a small laugh at the thought of all of that, Sirius smiling with him.

"Well Harry, I think you are absolutely right... lets get out of here and go somewhere a bit nicer."

Authors End Note: I do apologize, this Chapter did not end up as good or long as I wanted it to... it was kind of hard to get back into the swing of it, after losing so much progress. I promise to do much better next Chapter. Please Review :)
