Hey, I really do hope you like this chapter.

If you like this chapter then all of it goes to my Beta Rosalie Thomas. :)

When Harry gained consciousness, he was laying down on something soft and very comfortable that had done wonders to his tired body. He did not want to get up but going against what his body wanted, he opened his eyes, welcoming his conscious. He heard whisper from his right as he tried to shade his eyes from the bright light that was disturbing him. He moaned in frustration and the room fell silent and almost immediately, the light disappeared and he sighed in happiness. He pushed his body into a sitting position with his back against the wall, he rubbed his eyes slowly as he yawned and felt someone handing his spectacles to him. He took them and cleaned them and put it on and looked at Sirius who standing right in front of him and his memories returned to him so fast that he flinched. The Weasley's, their betrayal to him, the love potions used by Ron and Ginny, the Horcruxes Dumbledore faking his death, him using his money for Hogwarts, and then Sirius. Harry groaned and rubbed his forehead lightly, a small head ache starting.

He looked around the room, taking everything in, in still silence. He saw Hermione looking worriedly at him, standing next to Sirius leaning on the wall. He saw both Remus and Tonks standing next to each other leaning on the wall opposite to the bed whispering to each other. He saw Tonks mumble something into the tissue she was holding and sniffle into it. Deciding not to ask her why, he turned towards Sirius and was immediately taken into a body binding hug. A smile spear on his face as he returned the hug with the same enthusiasm.

"Hey pup, how are you?" Sirius asked Harry. He pulled out of the hug, rubbing his godson softly and grinning at him.

"Fine-"He answered him but before he could continue, he heard sobbing. He turned towards Hermione and saw her covering her smile and pointing towards Tonks. He looked at Tonks and saw that she was now sobbing into the tissue. When she saw him looking at her, She loudly said "It's just so beautiful, the reunion of you too." causing Remus to turn his head to keep her from seeing the smile on his face and felt Sirius shake in laughter.

Harry turned his questioning gaze at Remus. He just shook his head motioning to keep quite. He nodded but not before looking at Tonks again who was whispering "So beautiful..." into the tissue.

He looked at Tonks in concern but followed what Remus said and shifted his attention to Sirius. He still couldn't believe it. He cleared his throat to get Sirius's attention. The moment he cleared his throat not only Sirius, but the other three looked at him. Blushing, his cheeks coloured slightly he asked Sirius, "How?"

"Well it's an answer I would like to know myself." Sirius replied looking at Hermione meaningfully.

"Me too." came the united answer from Remus and Tonks.

Hermione blushed slightly as she became the centre of attention. She cleared her throat softy and said "How about we go the main room so I can tell you all there together?" She said and turned to leave the room without listening to their answers.

Remus and Tonks left the room behind Hermione almost immediately, with Harry and Sirius trailing behind them. They saw Hermione sitting on one of the single sofas. Harry quickly sat on the other. Sirius, Tonks and Remus made their way to the only three sitter sofa. They all waited for Hermione to start.

Averting her eyes in the other direction, so she wasn't looking at her audience, she started "Well as you know, I used to spend oodles of time in the library last year thanks to Ginny and Ron's meddling. And it has done nothing bad; it has helped us in return. Well as I was reading through the books, I coincidentally came across this book known as "The Mystery Behind the Veil" and was instantly curious about it. I started reading the book and the books whose names were given for further recommendation. Some of them were not even in the library, so I had to order them from Flourish and Blott's."

Harry interrupted Hermione "Wait a minute; those were books being delivered in the hall during breakfast? Ron thought they were letters from Viktor?" to which Hermione's answer was a curt nod and continued "I thought that I would tell you guys after I had some solid proof because I didn't want you to be broken hearted, if it was not possible. Now to think of it, thank Merlin I didn't or else I'm sure that Ron, Ginny, and Dumbledore would have stopped me in some way. Well continuing, I had read around five to six books which all just gave information about the 'Veil' and what could be there behind it. There wasn't anything about how to retrieve someone or something from behind the veil if lost. At last I had a bit of success, in one of the books it was written that if someone gets lost behind the veil the only way they can be retrieved is by a ritual."

Taking a small breath Hermione saw how the four of them were griped by the story, smiling to herself she started again, "The ritual was nothing too tough; personally I expected it to much more dark and dangerous, but surprisingly it was actually very basic to say, What it said is- in short it said that the person who is behind the veil can be brought back if two people, in this case Remus and Tonks, connected to the person, Sirius, in some way or other-, it may be by relation, family, friends anything even enemies would do. So, I came into contact with Remus, who when I first told this, told me that after all the studying and staying in the library for long periods of time and not having fun, that I had lost my last nut." Hermione said giving Remus a look, who in turn gave a shrug in return. She then continued "but surprisingly, Tonks was much easier to work with."

"After they both agreed to my 'crazy' plan, I planned a meeting with both of them and told them about the ritual. So there I was, with Remus and Tonks, about to go to the ministry. I thought of telling you, but at that time you were busy with Ginny and I did not want to disturb you and I wasn't sure whether it could work or not. So I thought that I would surprise you with it."

"You did." Harry again interrupted her moving forward so he was on his knees in front of her and took her hand and said "And I will thank you for it every moment I am with Sirius." He continued kissing her hand softly dropping in on the sofa, patting it twice, and went back to his original seat making Hermione blush at the gesture.

Clearing her throat softly she continued "Tonks easily lead us to the room where the veil was kept. I drew the needed runes on the floor and started the ritual, and started chanting lines in Latin. I had placed Tonks and Remus right in front of the veil and asked them to think of all the good times they had with Sirius and how much they both wanted him back. Not before long, we saw Sirius walking into the room from the veil looking just the way he did two years back."

"And that's how we got Sirius from nothing and here he is sitting with us."Hermione said into the silence.

"And it's all because of you Hermione." Sirius said after sometime.

"Thank you" he whispered to her got up from where he had whispered and wrapped her into a hug causing Tonks to start her crying once again.

Harry looked at her weirdly when he heard "It's just her time on the month." Remus said when he looked at his questioning gaze, as though it explained everything. Harry cringed at the thought. As soon as Tonks heard what he had said, Tonks punched him playfully in the shoulder breaking Hermione's and Sirius's hug. Remus immediately shut up, rubbing the spot where she had hit him. He decided not to say anything else about it except a few unheard mumblings.
