Warning: mention of child abuse
Author's Note: People have mentioned about how Harry is smart for a five year old, first off I can't write as a five year old lol, second I personally believe that were you to be subjected to abuse at a young age and forced to take care of yourself it would force you to act older then you should, this isn't going to be a story where things come naturally to Harry he will have to work for these things lol, oh and for those who were wondering how he could read well what else is he going to do all those hours forced to be in a cupboard under the stairs.
Chapter 3
The years pass
The months past for the two prisoners with nothing to do other then read and practice magic.
The day after their conversation all those months ago, they looked through the magically expanded trunk; Sirius looked through the wands that had been placed in there and was pleasantly surprised to find his own wand, shrugging at his luck he continued to look through everything.
A few weeks after that Sirius had been reading up on wards while Harry was reading the history books on magic. Harry jumped out of his skin when Sirius whooped for joy from where he was sitting and for a man who was sitting in a high security cell in Azkaban surrounded by dementors this was no easy feat,
"What?" he asked
Sirius looked up at his godson and grinned "I think I've found a ward then can help us fight of the feelings of dementors, it's undetectable by magic and by the dementors themselves!"
"How much help?" asked Harry not completely understanding What are wards? He asked himself mentally shrugging he decided to look it up in the books.
"Well it won't completely suppress it but it means that we will only feel the effects slightly." Explained Sirius seriously (HAHAHA)
Harry was glad to hear it, as the effects of the dementors had started to effect him a week after he arrived.
So Sirius had gone about warding the cell from the major effects of the dementors he also added several wards one of which was like a notice-me-not charm in which the guards would look in but not register what they were seeing, Sirius put this up so they would not see the trunk or the food pantry or even Harry, he knew he was taking a risk with this as there was a possibility that none of the guards knew of Harry's imprisonment but there was a slight chance that there would be at least one that knew that he was in Azkaban, that was also the reason why two years later they would add a ward that they created - Sirius mostly - using the knowledge they both had gained, this ward was designed to If there was someone looking for Harry they would see him as the age he's supposed to be, but he would be curled up in a ball in a corner and the 'other prisoner' Would be in the other corner where they couldn't see them –no one knows off by heart who was in each cell and in the year to come when a Fudge wannabe would come to check up on Harry he would never check to see who is cellmate is-
So over the years Sirius and Harry would learn everything that was in those books, Harry would start on his Animagus training and Sirius would hone his magic to its limits and they both prayed that they would find a way off this island.
5 years after Harry's imprisonment
Looking in to the cell of Sirius and Harry if you were able to look past the wards you would not think that it was a cell, as they had majorly redecorated, there were two transfigured single beds on one wall bookshelves on the opposite wall two chairs next to the meagre window and on the wall that had the door there was graffiti, it was a wall where they just put whatever they wanted on there.
"So Harry you think you're ready?" Asked Sirius.
Today was the day they were going to find out Harry's Animagus form, years ago they had both been disappointed to know that until Harry had built up his magic reserves they would not be able to train him to be an Animagus, but over the years Harry had learnt all of Hogwarts material and more, even if the power behind the spells weren't as powerful as they could be due to not having his own wand and him not being able to reach his magical potential at such a young age they were still impressive for his age, and they now deemed it time he would be able to find his form.
"Yes, Padfoot I'm ready!" Harry said excitedly. Over time the wounds of Harry's past healed, though they never went away they doubt they would ever go but they had healed enough for Harry with Sirius's help to gain back some of his childhood and in the confines of his cell and with the help of magic they had played childish games, told horror stories around the time they thought it was Halloween, they even had Christmas though no presents were exchanged they still had the tree and they used the food pantry to have a dinner, and of course with Sirius Black around no childhood would be complete without...pranks and Sirius taught Harry everything about the art of pranking which when he looked back after being pranked he would think that maybe he should of left some things out so he could get him back with something he didn't already know about.
Sirius had promised Harry that when they knew his form he would give him a Marauder name and he would become the fourth Marauder, they did not consider Peter Pettigrew to be a Marauder anymore. They both also hoped that when they got out they would be able to convince Moony of the truth but that was something they did not talk of often as it hurt too much for Sirius to think about his last best friend.
"Now you remember everything you need to do?" Sirius asked again for the umpteenth time.
"Yes Sirius." Said Harry with a roll of his eyes "Can we just get on with it please!" he begged, Sirius grinned at his godson and reached a hand up and ruffled his hair.
"Go on then, give it a shot!"
Harry sat cross legged on the ground, in front of him was a potion that he needed to drink, after downing the potion he went in to a deep state of meditation where if he does it right he would receive a vision of sorts of his form. After hours of meditation while Sirius lazed on his bed reading Harry opened his eyes and cranked his head to the side gaining Sirius's attention.
"Well, what are you?" he asked eagerly, but when he actually registered his godson's face which was in amazed shock his grin faltered slightly "What?"
Harry looked up at Sirius opened and closed his mouth a couple of times before replying "I'm a Jaguar..." he started
"Cool!" interrupted Sirius jumping up
"And a Phoenix." Finished Harry making Sirius's jaw drop open and for him to fall back on to the bed.
"But...but...t-that's impossible!" he exclaimed
"And yet here it is." Said Harry sarcastically
"Don't get cheeky!"
"What do you expect my dear godfather I spend all my time with you!" laughed Harry
"True...two forms impressive!" Sirius grinned at his godson
"You know the best part?" asked Harry
"What?"
"I get the feeling that I get the powers of a phoenix which means..." Harry trailed off
"You can Phoenix flame us out of here!" shouted Sirius once more jumping up this time joined by Harry, the two spent the next few minutes hugging in happiness that they knew that one day they will get out of there.
"It will still take time for me to transform though." Harry reminded him
"I know...so let's get started!" Sirius turned in to Padfoot and bounced around in his excitement and Harry laughed
"I thought I was supposed to be the child?" he asked between laughter, Sirius transformed back at grinned and Harry
"Good point, hmmm a name, was there anything that was similar between the forms?" he asked Harry now serious sitting on his chair; Harry joined him on his own chair and thought about the question.
"Well, the only thing I can think of is that my scar was present on both forms, not overly noticeable but it was there." Said Harry
While Sirius spent the evening going over the pro's and con's of different marauder names, Harry studied the books even though the books had been read before, that was one other thing Harry was looking forward to after getting out of there was being able to read books he hasn't read before.
"I've got it!" exclaimed Sirius
"Got what?" asked Harry distractedly
"Your Marauder name." His reply got Harry's immediate attention
"Really!? What?"
"Bolt." Grinned Sirius
"Bolt, cool." Harry returned Sirius's grin, and on that night while Sirius slept Harry performed his first prank as an official Marauder on his godfather.
