"Well if it isn't invisible boy. " Sirius said.
He grabbed Harry around the waist and carried him into James' study.
He put Harry in a chair and held him there while Harry was kicking and
screaming. Sirius magically locked the door and windows in the room. Harry
headed towards the secret passageway when James cam out of it and
pointed his wand at Harry. James magically sealed the passageway.
"Now we need to talk." But Harry would not give up that easily. He turned
himself into a lion and tried to knock the door down. But Sirius had locked
the door magically for that reason. It didn't matter how much Harry banged
his head against the door it would not give way. Finally Harry gave up. But
he did not go back to himself he stayed a lion. He refused to change back.
He might have earlier but now he was really mad. In fact he was so mad
that Sirius started giving James a weird look.
"James maybe you should let him go now."
"Why?"
"Because he seems to lost control of his powers and you are turning red."
James looked down at himself and sure enough he was turning red.
"Oh well, I can be red. At least I am not blowing up." He said to Sirius. To
Harry he said "I know that you are mad but we have to talk."
The lion shook is head.
"Ok then we are going to have to do this the hard way. Ready Sirius?" Sirius nodded.
They both pointed their wands at Harry. But Harry did not care, he would
not talk not matter what shape he was in. Sirius and James forced Harry to
become human again. They pulled him into a chair. They started talking
about what had happened. They wanted Harry to forgive them and give
them a second chance or in James' case a third. But no matter what they
said they could not get Harry to talk. James sighed.
"Fine then you stay in here until you talk. If we don't talk by the time you
get to Hogwarts Sirius will come talk to you everyday." James snapped his
fingers and food appeared. "For your dinner." He said. He and Sirius
dissaperated out of the room. But Harry was one of the smartest people in
Hogwarts right now. He knew that he was allowed to use magic over the
winter holidays and he dissaperated out of the room as well. He quietly got
his cloak from where Sirius had dropped it and put it on. He changed the
password to the secret passages and crawled inside. Ron had gone home
awhile ago so he didn't have to worry about him. He snuck down to the
kitchens and got some food from the house-elves because he did not trust
any food that Sirius and James gave him after what happened to Ron.
An hour after they had left, James and Sirius went back to James' study to
check on Harry. They were very surprised when Harry was not there.
"Harry where are you? This is not funny." James called. "Sirius he is not in here."
"He has to be, I bet he is hiding until we unlock the door and let him out."
James smiled. "This will not work Harry; you can't fool us, so come out."
Harry did not come out. James was beginning to worry now. Then James
put a spell that would show all hidden people in a room, nothing happened.
"Sirius, he is not on here at all!" James was very worried now.
"What? How could he get away?"
"I don't know lets go ask Lily if she has seen him." They did. She replied,
"Yes, I have seen him and he is very angry with you and will not come out of
hiding. It is your own fault; you should have known that you couldn't keep
your own child from getting away from you. You should not have tried to
lock him in that study at all James Edward Potter. You should never lock
your son anywhere." James was really nervous now. Lily was mad at him
too. James did not see Harry at all before Harry left to go back to Hogwarts.
After Harry had left, Lily forgave James because he needed someone to talk
to now that his friends were gone.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were walking through the halls of Hogwarts talking
when Sirius came out of no where.
"Harry we need to talk." He said.
The three just kept talking ignoring Sirius, both Ron and Hermione were not
happy with Sirius either because of what he had done to Harry. They were
very protective of their friend and their friend's feelings. If anything
happened to Harry they would not rest until they found out who did it to him
and made sure that person paid for it. Harry would do the same for the
other two. He had become really close to his friends especially Hermione. In
fact, he and Hermione were now dating. Ron did not care because he was
going out with Hermione's sister in Ravenclaw. She was a year younger but
Ron did not care. Anyway, Sirius kept following them. And they kept
ignoring him. Finally, Sirius had enough; he did the leg-locker curse on them
and made them stop moving.
"Harry you need to forgive me and your father. James is getting very
depressed now that you won't talk to him at all."
"Well he should have thought of that before he did what he did." Harry told
him. Hermione preformed the counter-curse and they disappeared into one
of their secret passages. Sirius thought the only way to get through to Harry
was to send a howler.
When Harry received it the next day at breakfast it screamed at him.
"YOU NEED TO START TALKING TO YOUR FATHER AND I AGAIN!! YOU ARE
BEING SELFISH AND NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR THE WELL BEING OF OTHER
PEOPLE NOT JUST YOURSELF. YOUR FATHER REALLY WANTS YOU TO
FORGIVE HIM AND YOU WONT EVEN LET HIM APOLAGIZE!!!!!"
Harry looked down. He would forgive his father now but not Sirius. Sirius
did not need to send him that howler because Ron and Hermione had
convinced him to forgive them the day before. Harry had already sent his
father a letter and was going to talk to Sirius after breakfast. Instead Ron
and Hermione did. They told Sirius what Harry was going to do before he got
that howler. Sirius felt terrible so he did the only thing that he could think to
do, he sent Harry another howler but this one was different.
"SIRIUS BLACK MADE A FOOL OF HIMSELF!! HE REALLY WANTS HARRY TO
FORGIVE HIM FOR BEING AN EVIL GIT LIKE SNAPE!!!! PLEASE FORGIVE
YOUR GOD-FATHER HARRY EVEN THOUGH HE DOES NOT DESERVE IT!!!!!!!!"
Harry gave up. He just could not stay mad at anyone that said that Snape
was an evil git. So after breakfast that day Harry went to go talk to Sirius.
They talked for so long when Harry looked at the time he realized that he
was late for potions.
"Sirius, I am late for potions! Snape is going to kill me!"
"Don't worry about Harry, I will write a note for you."
"But he won't take a note from you! You know how much he hates you! He is going to give me detention and take pointes of Gryffindor!"
"Fine, then I will go with you to see him, and stay in Potions class with you. I have always wanted to see how Snape taught. I don't have a class until this afternoon."
So the two headed down to the dungeons. They had decided that Harry
would try a note first. But Harry, of course, was right.
"Potter, do you really think that you can get away with being late for my class with a note from Black? I think that will be.."
"Sorry I kept Harry Professor." Sirius interrupted before Snape could take points of Gryffindor. Harry grinned.
"Oh, and Professor I want to watch this class, Harry tells me that it will be an interesting lesson." Snape was infuriated.
"That is not necessary Professor." He said in a strained voice.
"Oh but I always wanted to learn the...oh love potion!" Sirius said looking at the board.
"Well, I can't believe you are teaching them that, Professor! Remember what
happened when we were learning it with Lily..." Sirius stopped because
Snape looked as though he could kill Sirius at that point. All of the
Gryffindor's were laughing very hard.
"So as you already know, I never learned that potion. I think I will learn with the class."
"Fine." Snape snapped. "Sit in your old place next to Potter."
Sirius looked very happy as he sat down next to Harry and Ron. That was
the best potions class that Harry had ever had. There were no points taken
from Gryffindor for the first time ever. Harry walked to his next class with
Sirius, which happened to be DADA. Sirius began the class when everyone
had entered.
"I think we have know finished our class on dementors. I know that it was
very difficult lesson so we are going to spend the class taking notes.."
Everyone groaned. Sirius put up his hand to silence everyone. "On the
tricks that my friend's and I played on Snape when we were in school." Now
everyone clapped and cheered, once again Sirius held up his hand. "You will
have to write a two foot essay on what I say, so pay attention. It is also
very important that you share this essay with at least one other person in
your house that is not in your year." Everyone kept on cheering. So Sirius
told many stories about all the pranks they had pulled in school. Harry had
heard most of them but that was ok. At the end of class Sirius gave them 15
minutes to get started on their homework. During this time Hermione raised
her hand. "Professor, I don't think that we know enough about what you did
to Snape." Sirius raised his eyebrows at this, and wondered where Hermione
was going.
"So I think that you need to come to the Gryffindor common room tonight
and tell us more stories so that we can better do our homework." Everyone
nodded in agreement. Sirius smiled.
"If it ok with the rest of your house, I would love to. I will be there at 8:00
so make sure that everyone knows." Hermione smiled. Harry looked at her
with much admiration. He whispered in her ear "Great idea!" Sirius heard
this and said.
"Ms. Granger and Mr. Potter I said no talking in class, five points to
Gryffindor for breaking the rules. Class dismissed!" They all left DADA with
smiles. They passed the word around that Sirius would be telling stories
about Snape in the common room at 8:00. Ron even went so far as to invite
Fred and George back to listen.
Sirius was surprised when he went to the common room that night. Those
kids sure spread the word fast. When he entered everyone got quite.
"Hello Gryffindor's! I am sure all of you have heard about my sixth year's
class project. Because it was my two best friends and I, I have invited them
here to help share out stories. James and Remus came out from Harry's
invisibility cloak. Many people were surprised. "Professor Lupin!" The three
of them conjured up a podium and began telling stories. They gave Harry a
photo album to pass around. When McGonnagal did her rounds at 2:00 AM
she heard roars of laughter coming from the common room. She walked into
the whole of Gryffindor house sitting and listening to James, Sirius, and
Remus. "Misters Black, Potter, and Lupin what may I ask are you doing here
at this time at night!"
"And that is exactly what she said when we got caught!" Sirius said finishing
a story. The whole room exploded in laughter again. McGonnagal's lips got
very thin. Sirius gulped.
"Well kids you better get to bed and good luck to my sixth years on that essay."
Everyone groaned and headed up to bed except the three men, Hermione,
Harry, Ron, and the twins.
"Mr. Weasley may I ask what you are doing here so late at night?"
All three Weasley boys tried to answer at once. Fred and George gave Ron a look and started talking.
"Mr. Black wanted us to help the sixth years with their homework." Said Fred.
"Well seeing as most of the sixth years are now in bed, maybe you should go." They left. Then McGonnagal turned on Sirius.
"I don't remember a time when you have disrupted the common room so
much. You should know better then that by now. You are no longer in
school anymore Mr. Black so act like it, you should go to bed as well." Sirius
left with his head down.
"Mr. Potter and Mr. Lupin you are just as bad as him so please go home."
James said goodbye to Harry and left. McGonnagal turned to Harry, Ron,
and Hermione.
"What are you three waiting for? Go to bed!"
They ran upstairs and went to sleep as soon as their heads touched their pillows.
Authors Note Thank you to all the Reviews!
