Chapter Four
Once the two men were seated James said "our son has become very attached to Sirius dear" Lily smiled and said "I am glad he did seeing as Sirius is the one person I trust the most with him. Even more so then you Albus" Albus replied "I understand Lily. Sirius cares so much for Harry that it was so hard to watch Harry scream for him the night he went through the arch" "that is the reason I am still alive Albus. Harry's powers protected me and the people in that part of the ministry know it too. They have watched Harry's powers grow in that section and know he used them twice that night. Once to save himself and once to save me" Sirius explained. Their talk went late into the night before they all settled in for the night. Minerva and Albus both choose to return to Hogwarts and promised to visit the next day.
When Harry awoke he felt for the first time in his life truly hungry. He looked at Sirius sleeping and decided to get him. Harry snuck over to him and touched his arm and then in thought screamed "wake up old man" well Sirius jumped a metre high and growled until he saw Harry rolling on the floor laughing. He then laughed and said "you couldn't resist could you?" Harry replied "nope you looked too peaceful" Sirius smiled and said "I notice your mum is cooking" Harry replied "I know as for the first time I am really hungry for breakfast" Sirius smiled and they both raced down the stairs. Harry won as he took the banister and slid down while Sirius just ran and decided not to apparate. Harry knocked Ron to the ground as he landed and Ron said "stupid idiot… oh sorry Harry I thought it was one of the twins" Harry laughed and said "nah it's me I just rode the banister all the way down to beat Sirius" Ron nodded and they walked into the kitchen where Lily said "Harry from now on no riding the banister" Harry laughed and said "I can control it mum and besides my firebolt goes faster then that" Lily laughed and James said "well I am glad he takes his flying serious" "I missed it when I got a life ban last year. But as I told McGonagall that was lifted the day Umbridge left Hogwarts" Harry replied and Albus appeared then and added "well we knew that if we didn't we wouldn't hear the last of it and we do need an experienced captain for the team" Harry turned to the headmaster and asked "you want me to be the captain for the quidditch team?" McGonagall arrived then and said "Harry you are a natural leader and we planned it from day one. Besides all the older students asked us to hand it to you before they left last year" Harry smiled and sat down.
After breakfast Harry went into Ron's room with Ron and Hermione and they had a chat. "There is one thing I want to know you two" Hermione looked at him and asked "what do you want to know?" Harry nodded and said "when are you two finally going to get together?" Ron laughed but said nothing and Hermione just blushed. Harry then used a little magic to make them speak the truth and turned to Hermione and said "why?" she replied "because I am waiting for Ron to ask me, but I don't think he wants to go out with me" "want to? Hermione I was so jealous when Victor got close and you just brushed me away so I thought you didn't want me. Wait did I hear right? Hermione will you be my girlfriend?" Harry smiled as Hermione replied "of course I will Ron" Harry ducked out of the room as they started kissing and bumped into Ginny. She asked "they finally got together didn't they?" Harry nodded and said "I helped them admit it but the kissing has started so I think you better leave them. Do you know where Sirius is?" she replied "he was in the drawing room making it bigger last I knew…" "Harry if you want to fly you now can in the drawing room" Sirius yelled up the stairs. Ginny and Harry laughed but Harry asked "want to fly chaser?" she nodded and they both raced to their rooms to get their brooms.
Harry and Ginny had been flying for ten minutes before Sirius and James joined them. Harry was flying around after the snitch while Sirius and James helped Ginny with her chaser practice. Ron joined them an hour later and took the keeper position while Harry came down and they played two on two with a quaffle. Sirius went with Harry while Ginny went with James. The game went on until they were called to lunch and the scores were Sirius and Harry twenty-four James and Ginny twenty-three.
After lunch Dumbledore Harry James Lily and Sirius went to the ministry to hand Peter over. At first the men went to arrest Sirius but Harry yelled "stop" the men did and Fudge walked in and said "why isn't Sirius Black in chains?" Harry replied "because we are here to hand over the real criminal Peter Pettigrew" Fudge replied "fine where is he?" Harry smiled and pulled out the jar. Fudge said "that is a rat boy" Harry smiled and said "a rat yes but also Peter Pettigrew" Dumbledore made the jar grow and Peter change back. Fudge was speechless and said "that was why Sirius laughed the night we thought Peter died. He thought Peter had killed himself. But Black was the secret keeper for the hollow was he not?" James replied "we changed to Peter a week before because we believed Voldermort" lots of gasps "would think we would use Sirius and not think we would use a weakling like Peter" Fudge nodded and said "the dementors have gone but we can remove all his powers and stop him transforming before taking him to Azkaban" "that was just taken care of. I actually know of one dementor that will take care of Peter" Fudge nodded and they went to the room and Peter was looking scared and saying "you don't understand the Dark Lord was powerful and he would have killed me" Harry replied "he couldn't kill you when he was a shadow Wormtail" that shut him up and Harry called the dementor who took Peter immediately and preformed the kiss and then vanished. Harry smiled and said "that is now done. But minister I want you to publish this and say Peter Pettigrew fell into a trap set up by Harry Potter" Fudge nodded and they all returned to Grimmauld Place.
Harry's viewThat afternoon I spent all day talking with Mrs Black and going through some of the books on wandless magic and how to do the spells in them. Everytime I got the spell right Mrs Black said "well done child. You have progressed excellently" I replied "these books are very helpful Mrs Black" when it came to the animagus spell I called Sirius in and asked him "can I could try a spell on you?" at first he was scared so I showed him which one it was and he agreed. I got the spell right the first time and Sirius said "you are doing excellently Harry" I hugged him and replied "your mum has been a great help" he laughed and mum called us down for tea.
While we were eating mum said "Albus, I want to find Luke" everyone turned to her and I asked "who is Luke mum?" she replied "he is your twin brother" I looked at them all and then said "what happened to him?" Albus replied "we don't know Harry why?" I replied "well I was hoping to help look. I have a book on twins that appeared a week ago and it says twins can sense each other" just then Hedwig flew in with a letter to me. I suddenly realized where the book came from and said "I will be back soon. I just want to reply to this letter so I better take Hedwig with me" they nodded and I raced up to my room and cast the spell on Hedwig and instantly Luke was standing there. I smiled and said "you're lucky I read the book to do that today Luke" he smiled and said " I would have bugged you until you had" I laughed and handed him some clothes to wear before saying "we better head back down" he nodded and we both walked back to the kitchen. I entered first and Ron said "who was the letter from?" I replied "what letter?" Hermione replied "the one that was so important that you had to leave the conversation…" she trailed off realizing before I nodded and replied "yeah that was an excuse. I haven't read the letter" she then said "well where is he?" I laughed and said "you better come in now so that the rest of them ain't confused" so Luke walked in and Dumbledore asked "Hedwig was Luke wasn't he?" I nodded and said "I realized it the moment he flew in and luckily I learnt the spell that undoes it today" Dumbledore asked "where is the book on it?" Sirius replied "in a place that only three of us can enter" Dumbledore looked confused so Lily said "Mr and Mrs Black created a room that no one but those they invite in can see and enter. It was in this room that the locket Harry is wearing was kept" I smiled and added "it is also where Mrs Black is now" Dumbledore nodded and said "well I guess I am out of the know how sometimes" I then turned to Sirius and said "this place was what you mum was talking about the night we moved her isn't it?" Sirius nodded and said " Harry you are becoming as bright as Hermione" I blushed and said "nah she catches on straight away I need a few extra clues" everyone laughed and finished tea in a happy mood.
The next morning I awoke early and made sure everyone else was too. I announced at breakfast "I think we should all go and visit Neville seeing as it is his birthday and I need to give him his present before his grandmother takes him to visit his parents" everyone nodded and mum called Dumbledore and professor McGonagall to transport us.
When we arrived I walked up to the door and knocked. Mrs Longbottom answered the door and said "this is a pleasant surprise. I am right in thinking you are all here because it is Neville's birthday?" I replied "indeed it is madam. Neville will be expecting me. But I thought I would drag everyone along to brighten up his day" she smiled and replied "he has been anxious all morning and jumped at every sound" just then Neville joined us and I said "hello Neville. Happy birthday" the rest joined me as I said 'happy birthday' but he replied "Harry aren't they your parents and Sirius?" I nodded and said "Sirius came to me as a Dog not long after I got back to privet drive and I was given a locket to revive my parents a couple of days ago. Oh and this is my brother Luke. He was Hedwig but I changed him back last night" Neville laughed and said "you got the lot when you thought you had lost it all" I nodded and then said "can we come in and I better give them to you now that I know they are ready and work?" he nodded and we all walked inside. First I gave him his father's wand which was fixed perfectly and then said "they need to drink all of it to work" he nodded and his grandmother asked "what do they do Harry?" I smiled and said "Neville and I have been working on them since we got back to school and then afterwards I finished them. But to know what they do I suggest you let Neville do what he needs to and not interfere" she nodded and asked "will you lot come back after we visit his parents?" Dumbledore replied "we would love to" but Neville then asked "Harry will you come with us?" I replied "would love to Neville. Do you want me to look after our potion?" he nodded and passed them back to me.
When we got to the hospital his grandmother lead us straight to his parents bed and we sat down. Neville poured his parents a drink each, which Neville and I slipped in the potion without his grandmother knowing. His parents drank the drinks and slowly sat up confused. Mr Longbottom looked at his mother and asked "how long have we been here?" she gasped and looked at Neville and myself and asked "the potion did this didn't it?" I nodded and replied "it is permanent" she smiled so I replied "it is now nearly fifteen years sir. I am Harry Potter and the nervous looking boy is your son" he smiled and replied "thank you for this. I know you had a part in this seeing as Neville brought you here" I replied "Neville and I have been working on this since we fought the Death Eaters and stopped them hearing the prophecy. But I think you need to know Voldermort is back" he nodded and said "you say his name without fear yet he killed your family" I smiled and said "he turned my brother into an Owl and made my parents stone. But they are all back and we can talk to them when we return to your mother's house" Alice Longbottom then asked "what happened with Sirius Black?" I replied "it was Peter that handed my parents to Voldermort but Sirius was in Azkaban for twelve years before he escaped. He can tell you the story but he almost died last year when Bellatrix sent him through the archway of death. It seems that when I screamed at him like my life depended on it a power I can't control saved him and brought him back" she smiled and said "well then we better get out of here and meet up with everyone" I then touched hers and her husband's arms and said in thought "wish Neville happy birthday as that is why I am here" they both nodded and wished Neville a happy birthday and he started to glow. Mrs Longbottom whispered to me "thank you Harry. It takes a true friend to do what you have for Neville" I replied "well when he does so much to help I am only to happy to help. But be careful when you ask him to duel as he is very good at it thanks to a group last year" she nodded and we went back to the Longbottom home where the others were waiting.
