The Other Spy

Chapter 20

Sirius's Tale

Albus sat in his chair with a bright twinkle in his blue eyes. He still couldn't wrap his mind around how Voldemort got him out from the veil in the first place. He ran his long fingers through his beard. He had a feeling extremely dark magic had to be involved. He knew how powerful Voldemort was, because he couldn't get Sirius out of the veil. He had tried countless times over the years.

Sirius and Harry pulled back from each other, and the marauder ran his finger's through his godson's messy black hair. He stepped back to get a better look at the boy that stood before. He mentally corrected himself. Harry was longer a boy but a man.

"You're all grown up Harry." said Sirius. "You look good. Hermione been taking care of you I see." Harry nodded tearfully. "I'm glad I really like that girl. I was stunned to find her at Voldemort's side. She can be one cold hearted bitch."

"I take that as a complement Padfoot. I've worked hard for that little act." said Hermione as she stepped out of the shadows of the headmaster's office. "I am after all great actress. Don't you think? I didn't play the role of Juliet over the summers for nothing. I had a great acting coach."

"You act?!" said the trio in the room.

"Of course you fools. How do you think I pay for school." said Hermione as she eased herself into the chair. "Anyway this isn't about me. This is about Sirius. How in the hell did you get out of that veil?"

Sirius sat down in one of the empty chairs followed by Harry. They waited quietly for the man to speak.

"The last thing I remember we were fighting the Department of Mysteries." said Sirius. "I was battling against my deranged cousin."

Harry nodded remembering that night all too well. He still had nightmares about the horrible time.

"But the one thing I knew was that the killing curse did not hit me. I was able to move aside before it hit me. I stepped back and my foot hit a hole. I lost my balance and fell into the veil." explained Sirius. "Then after awhile I woke up and I stood in a blacken place. Once my eyes adjusted to the darkness I saw all the lost souls. All the people Voldemort had killed. I was the only one down there that had not died. My soul was still connected to my body."

"How interesting, what did the souls do? Did they torture you?" asked Dumbledore.

Sirius shook his head. "No, after I explained to them what had happen they were determined to get me back to earth." He turned to Harry. "Lily and James were the biggest help of all. They kept the others back that had a million questions."

Harry stared at his godfather in shock. He let a smile cross his face. "So they kept you sane."

Sirius nodded his head. "I would have actually gone mad in the all the darkness." He took a deep breathe and continued, "It felt like an eternity for me to get back to you. But it wasn't Voldemort who brought me out of the veil. It was the souls that had died. They want Voldemort gone so their souls can be freed."

"But how did Voldemort get a hold of you?" asked Hermione.

"Oh that's simple. One of the death eaters had came into the Department of Mysteries and found me on the floor." Sirius brow frowned and said, "It was actually Malfoy that found me. He said that Voldemort had given him the mission to keep an eye on the veil. Because he was the one that knew the most about it. And he took me from the Department to Voldemort's hideout."

Hermione smirked at Sirius. The marauder shivered at the smirk. It reminded him too much of Snape. "Luicus isn't in the Dark Lord's inner circle for nothing Sirius. He cunning and extremely smart. He had no choice but to take you there. Then when he got the chance to get you out he did. He didn't need any fingers pointed at him. The fake body was to insure he's not discovered. Do you understand?

Sirius scratched his head. "Ahh, I really don't know. It sounds like a bunch of rambled words. But thanks for getting me out of there."

She shook her head. "I did nothing fool." Hermione looked up at the clock. "Excuse me I class to teach in an hour." She eased herself out of the chair. "It will take twenty minutes to get to the classroom. I'm glad your back Sirius." She turned to headmaster, "I believe it is wise to keep him here in one of the family quarters. This way he can spend time with Harry. Have a good day Headmaster," and she left the office.

Sirius looked at the closed door and scratched his head. "Fleas I hate them. I need a bath."

Harry chuckled and stood up from his chair. "Let's get him settled."

Albus stood up and walked around his desk. He placed an invisibility charm over the marauder, and they left the office for the family quarters.

"Take your seats class and we'll begin our lesson for today." said Hermione as she walked down the ale. She saw Severus brewing a potion in the far right side of the room. She gave him a slight smile. She turned around and face the class. "Take out your notebooks." The class quickly did as they were told. Hermione turned to the chalk board. "You will have a test on this next Monday. Your notes are based around the tests."

Severus looked over at his lover and smirked. He like her form of teaching. He knew when he saw the test scores and potion brewing of the third years rise from failing to passing. He wished he was able to teach that way.

Hermione began her lecture on the Polyjuice Potion. She wrote down step by step on the types of mixtures to make it correctly. Then what would happen if it wasn't brewed correctly. She stepped over to her desk and grabbed her book. She began to draw each ingredients and labeling them.

The class went by quickly with students asking questions and taking notes. Hermione happily answered them. She removed the chalk from her hands with a rag. She turned to her class.

"Good. I'm glad to see your participating so well in class." she told her Gryffindor and Huffelpuff class. "Now if you need help studying please come to the classroom and I will be more then happy to help. Each of you are awarded five points." The bell rang and she said, "Class dismissed," and the students gathered up their books and bags and left the classroom.

Hermione sat down behind the desk. She rubbed her stomach. She was glad she was able to hide her belly with a concealment charm. Because she knew the students and teachers would be asking questions since she had started to show her pregnancy.

"My feet hurt." said Hermione rolling her had back and closing her eyes. "I'm exhausted. I just want to lay down and take a nap."

Severus sat his spoon down at walked over to his lover. He stood behind her and rubbed the tension from her shoulders. "You have plenty of time to take a nap before dinner. I'll come and wake you when it's time. I have things to finish up here."

"Sound great." said Hermione. She stood up and kissed him on the lips. She walked out of classroom to Severus's chambers for a bath and a nap.

After Sirius had long hot bath, he joined Harry in the common room. Harry told him about the last few years he had missed while he was in veil. The marauder was surprised that Dumbledore had showed Harry Tom Riddle's memories and that they had gone looking for horcuxes. And they had found the locket. Harry had told him that the diary of Riddle was one of them. So they had destroyed two of them weaken the dark wizard.

Sirius knew a lot about dark magic since his family had been and was death eaters. He wasn't surprised to learn that one of them was at Grimmauld Place. He promised Harry he'd help him look for the others.

The clock chimed signaling it was time for dinner. Harry hugged his godfather and left for the great hall. He couldn't help but skip down the corridors. He had one of his wishes come true he had Sirius back in his life.
