Harry walked into the large kitchen space, with the grand wooden table taking up most of the room available. He immediately regretted his decision, how do you ask your god parent about a subject like that, but was glad he had shoved the dusty, ratty looking papers into his trouser pocket. He would have put it in his robe but being inside meant that you didn't need to wear them. I also made it easier to move outside in muggle streets, without having to explain yourself every two steps.
"I haven't seen you in a while Harry, What do you want to talk about?" Sirius questioned him. Harry thought about this. Did he need to bring it up straight away, or was it best to leave it and forget about it? He pondered on the answer. Meanwhile, Remus had ordered the food and sat down opposite Harry, right next to Sirius.
"It should be here in a few minutes." He stated. Harry was amazed at the speed at which it would come. He hadn't had it at all in the muggle world but he knew that when his 'family' had eaten it, it had taken about an hour to come. Whereas now, he had them often enough, Sirius and Remus didn't want to cook too often, which was fine by him, with what had come out of Sirius' experimentations. The doorbell rang.
"I'll get it" Harry mentioned. He stood up suddenly and marched towards the door, he was looking forward to the food, his stomach grumbling every step of the way. He opened the door; the scraggly man that always delivered it was there again. Harry placed some money into his hands. "Keep the change"
He spread out the food on the table, leaving everyone to help themselves. He went to get a drink. On the way he thought back to the question, reaching for his pocket automatically without thinking. There was nothing there. He was sure it was that pocket. He hadn't given it to the man instead of money had he? No that was paid in coins. Then where was it, he checked the other pocket. He must of dropped it, he collected his drink and returned to the kitchen.
What was this? Sirius wondered. Harry had dropped it out of his pocket. He knew it was rude to snoop, but the Marauder's instinct in him took over. There was a lot of paper in this bundle. What an earth was Harry carrying around this amount of parchment in his pocket for? He read the first page, his face turning from cheery to depressed in just one moment.
"Remus, you know those letters. Well that's what Harry dropped." What letters? Remus' brain was whirring, what letters did he have to worry about? His brain clicked. Those letters. Oh God, what must Harry think? He thought Sirius had gotten rid of those years ago, when he had given the ones Sirius had written to him back to Sirius.
Harry walked into the room. Casually looking at the floor, whilst retracing his steps from the other room, Sirius coughed. He looked up to see where the noise was coming from.
"Is this what you're looking for young man?" Sirius held up the incriminating evidence. "I thought I told you not to go into my room. Not even get off of the stairs on that floor. I thought I could trust you." Harry could hear the contempt in his voice.
"I didn't mean to. I'm so sorry Sirius. Its just... I was bored no one was here. And you lot were in the meeting. There was nothing for me to do. I didn't want to just go to my room and sit down, not when there is a war about to happen. I need to know what is going on. It's just not fair. I know you talk about me, about how I will defeat Voldermort. About whether you think I will beat him. That doesn't matter to me. I just need to help; I need to know what to do to help. Hell, I've heard half the wizarding population taking bets on when I should beat him. When I will die. What will happen then. I don't care about what they think, it's just when you said I couldn't do it. I hated you. I had to do something that would get on your nerves. You're meant to trust me. I'm your god son for Merlin's sake." Harry exploded each line getting angrier and angrier.
"I know, I know I should have believed you. I'm sorry that I didn't but really I underestimated you. I didn't think that you could beat him, but now I've seen the passion you have. And I know you will. I have faith in you to turn the whole wizarding world around. Back to how it used to be." Sirius gushed. "And I..." Remus stared at him threatening death. Sirius draped an arm around him. "...we will be there for you. Right by your side. No matter what."
Harry was astonished. So the letters were true then? What was he meant to think. He had no clue. His face contorted, and there was a flash of bright light. The pain struck as he fell to the floor.
The older men shared a glance, and dropped to the ground next to Harry.
"We didn't do this to him, did we?" Sirius questioned.
