Chapter 3
Home. That was what was written on the letter. Was it Sirius- a speck of hope of it being from his parents rose in him, howver, he did not set his hopes that high, he didn't want a shock when he would find that it wasn't... With shivering hands, he opened the letter... familiar handwriting- so similar to his own... the curve of the 'g' and the 'y', the flicks on the 't' and 'f'... he felt tears of happiness brim his eyes... he read on...
Dear Harry
I hope you're well-
Hey there Seeker! How are you doing! So, did Gryffindor win the house cup? Huh? Well, I thought that-
Harry, ignore your father for a moment, now, onto more important things-
Ignore? How could you Lily- and important? What's more important than Quidditch of course! So, back to Quidditch, I'll be training you through out the summer so you can come back with a BANG! Those slimy Slytherins will get it bad next year- and of course you were superb this year, I just want to make you better, that way, the girls' will all swoon around your feet, mate- after all, that's how your old man found you mother... you see I was so skilled that she couldn't help but fall head-over-heels with my charm, skill, intelligence, handsomeness, intelligence-
I know that I was so smart that you had to write that I was twice the intelligence of the human brain-
Shut it Padfoot! I'm talking to Harry here, so go away! Anyways-
Well mate, you arn't really talking to Harry, you just put a charm to make the quill write whatever you say- wait a minute? HARRY! How are you, mate! My little-not-so-little-anymore-green-eyed-godson-whose-a-seeker-little-godson-
We get it Padfoot! Just so you know Harry, I've currently changed position
He ran away from your Mum
Shut it- and now I am in the attic, anyways- wow, the attic really is dirty, Lily wasn't joking when she said the place was filthy up her. So, how was your last match against Slytherin? I want it in complete detail-
Prongs! You're going to see your son in a day- so give me some time with him before you eat him to yourself!
Eat him? Says the guy who steals my son from his home! Remember that time when he was five and I woke up in the morning to find my son GONE! Then I had to search the whole city and face Lily's angry face through the whole morning till noon only to find he was with YOU!
I"m his godfather, I can do anything I want with him and plus, didn't you figure that it was me? I mean, shouldn't I have been the first person you should go to?
Y-You panic too much so I skipped you for a bit- didn't want you to have a heart attack!
Blah Blah Blah- anyways what are you going to talk to him about? Quidditch? I mean- I like Quidditch, mate, but I'm not obsessed!
I am not obsessed-ah! Lily flower, you looked beautiful, I simply love your dress- is it new?
It brings out your eyes
Hello, Harry. Sorry about the commotion, you know what happens to your father when Sirius is around, anyways, since I've locked the door we wont be interrupted. How are your marks, honey? Are they good- of course, you didn't fail anything- but you did get a good mark at Potions right? I want a letter straight away with all your marks listed! I know you did splendid! I'm so proud of you, I heard from a few of your professors that you did great coughReguluscough Thankyou Sirius a- Sirius? How did you get in here?
I apparated, Anyways! How are the girls- are they mesmerized by you- you do know that you got that all from me, you know, the natural insinct! Oh! How's Minn- I mean McGonagall, I haven't seen her in a long time- does she stil have wrinkles?
Sirius- that's horrible!
I know! I couldn't live with myself if I had wrinkles! How does Minne cope?
Harry!
James!
Sirius! What, no one said my name! Just so you know Harry, five minutes passed and your parents are still gawking at me... wierdos, I know- heck, you know, you can live with me if, that way you'll be-
More of a freak?
James! Are you accusing your son of being a freak! How dare you- do you have any idea what he might feel right now?
I don't know, I'm not Harry- Hey Harry, how do you feel? You know this one time, Remus got depression around 6th Year and I gave him a treatment like those muggle therapy thingies and I had to ask how he felt and stuff-
Depression? Why would Remus have depression?
Well... I don't really remember, anyways, I held him down and tied him up with that Knot Charm, then I started to talk to him- you know, make him explain and let his heart out...
He constantly poked him in the stomache and splashed water in his face... It was hilarious when he went all red!
Then I thought that laughter was the best case, so I put a tickling charm on him... I think I helped him a bit.
You call you coming in being chased back into the common room by a deranged Remus with your clothes ripped and glasses broken help? I say it was April Fools Day in advance!
Back to the common room? Why, where did he do it?
Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom- she was his assistant
Poor Remus
Well at least he got out of his depression!
Yeah-to anger managment!
It was for careers advice!
Prongs, careers advice was in 5th year
Oh then that was the time where I-
Not in front of the child Prongs
Oh, sorry, I'll tell you when you're older Harry, you see, your Uncle Moony is still quite touchy around the subject...
Yeah, remember when he locked us in the bathroom and put a charm to keep the water running after that... incident?
How could I forget!
I thought we were going to die- You see Harry, your father and I had a great prank up our sleeves, so as we sat making Polyjuice Potion we heard a click of the door-
The lights shuddered and the doors banged open and close- click-clack-click-clack
Then SPLOOSH! Water spewed itself from the taps! We found that we were trapped and that the charm was irreversable!
An evil cackle was heard from behind the door! So we ran to the door and found it locked1 Padfoot ran into it dozens of times to break it-
Did not!
But that was no use, so I whipped out my wand and tried to open the door-
No avail! There was no way out and the water was charmed to come up extra fast- so we had no choice but to face death with honourable faces!
You see Harry, all hope was lost but we kept faith and swam in the cold waters, looking for something to help our souls...
Are you talking about the time the sink exploded in you face in that locked bathroom and Remus laughed when you screamed?
What! No! Anyways, back to our story! The water was reaching our necks, we felt death reach up in cold hands and grasp us!
Then, we spotted a window in the wall and we swam towards it- mustering all the courage and hope we could just to survive...
The window was opened- but, we were kilometers above the ground! It was death in the very sight-
Death was looming around the corner-
What on earth are you doing! You are going to see him tomorrow- tell your fake stories to him then! This was going to be a simple letter where I ask of his grades and congratulate him on his attempts! Then you two come in and ruin EVERYTHING!
You impress me when you switch moods- makes me love you more...
Get a room Prongs, and Lils- it's not like you don't know his marks! You've got Marlene who tells you of his every move!
Harry- don't believe a word your godfather says! He's lying- I didn't spy on you or anything! You're making me look bad in front of my son!
Okay Harry, while your charming mother and godfather bicker in the corner lets continue our talk on Quidditch- I want you to try hard mate, because I want to see you Quidditch Captain in 6th Year- 5th Year if you can pull it off, and you will pull it off, of course you know of your dad's talents, I can teach you wonders my boy- ugh! I sound like Professor Slughorn! Anyways- ignore the Slughorn comment, you don't want to know him-
Bye Harry, come home safely!
Finished arguing I see?
I'm not done with you- Bye Harry! Be safe- I love you!
Don't forget about the offer I gave you- if you want a less freaky home, then don't fret to ask!
Whose the seeker, Harry! You're the Seeker! Whose the Seeker? You're th-
He's eleven, Prongs, not five
Lots of Love
Mum, The greatest Godfather in the World, The most amazing and mightiest Dad in the universe-beat that Padfoot!
His laugh was croaky as tears spilled his eyes... this whole day, did he believe them to be gone, but to see them, laughing and living... he couldn't help himself. He looked at Ron who was looking reading over his shoulder then looked out the window. As the last rays of sunlight setted through the horizon... he thought...
I'm going home.
