(Severus POV)

"So, Petunia and her children have disappeared?" The Headmaster asked as he looked into my eyes and I nodded.

"I went in disguise to speak with Vernon and he oh so kindly informed me that Petunia left because it was discovered by them that their daughter Darci Marjorie Dursley has magic within her."

The Headmaster nodded with a sigh. "This may have something to do with Harry being somewhere we can't find him." The comment was a mutter, something more to himself then anyone else, but I caught it and gave a noise of agreement.

"I suppose we'll see when the boy comes to school."

"Yes, I suppose we will." The Headmaster finished and I gave a nod, for we knew Harry would come as anyone would know that it is his birthright, the only real question would be, who is he coming as? Once we figured that out, the rest would fall into place quite perfectly.

(Harry's POV)

Okay, get a grip, get the hang of this broomstick

it's like slipping my feet into one big adventure

This way is left, but which is right?

Well now I'll be circling in circles all night.

(Oh, so this is forward? No problem!)

I can't believe I can do this and more,

to soar in the sky like I walk on the floor.

Out of my shell, not closed up like I've been

Look out world,

this is me,

Harry's Here!

For a moment all of me

is alive and at home in the sky.

I'm swirling and twirling so graceful and grand,

not stubbing my toes, getting stuck on the land.

For a moment life is cool

I'm a fly in the world's bluest skies.

This is more than my thoughts ever thought it could be.

For a moment, just a moment, lucky me!

(Sirius POV)

If only for one moment, I had shared with them all my doubts

They'd be here, to see you shine

Oh, why did they have to go!

(Harry's POV)

Everything's newer

and brighter and bluer

and truer to life than before

watch me soar!

For a moment I'm complete

With a grin and a gleam in my eye!

My fingers are sweaty and I really don't care

if even my glasses have slipped off of my face.

For a moment I can feel

all the dreams I've been dreaming are real.

Wish my parents could see it

The sky is My calling

For a moment, just a moment I belong.

(Sirius POV)

I will show you young Harry

And the moment that you see

I'll keep you close, My dear godson

And tell the tale of The Potter's to you

Tell their great and mighty tale to you!

(For a moment, just a moment I belong!)

Rose's POV

I smiled with nothing short of pure excitement as I watched my nephew up in the sky. For his and Henry's birthday this year, we decided to make a three day affair of it, first spending one full day with each of them, starting July 29th. introducing them each individually to the true magic of the wizarding world. Obviously, they knew a thing or two, as they've seen Zander and the others do magic, but now, we— not really me as I've no magic within me to speak of, would teach them so much more! After a quick contest, Harry had won and now here we were. Zander and I standing down here full of pride and Harry, our perfect nephew up there, in the never ending blue skies with Sirius, who swore he could train him to be just like James which I knew was true, though I was doubtful as to if he could be taught in one lesson.

"Aunt Rose!" Suddenly came my nephew's voice as he now sped down and landed lightly on his feet beside me, Sirius not far behind. "Padfoot says I'm a real natural! Just like my dad was!" He said and I nodded.

"Really? That's amazing, considering from what I know, your mother was awful on a broom." I said and he laughed with glee as Sirius nodded.

"Oh yeah, I remember one time when she tried to hex ole' Prongsie, she chased him everywhere but couldn't catch him because as soon as he could, he just hopped on his broom and flew off, she was so furious.." he grinned and even at this, I gave a laugh, remembering Lily saying something about that time in a letter she'd sent me one time.

"Yes sir, you sure are very lucky that you're more like your dad in that aspect." I told Harry with, if possible, even more pride and he nodded.

"I can't wait to play Quidditch with Henry!" The green eyed boy added and Zander raised an eyebrow.

"How do you know Hen will be any good? What if he doesn't even like flying?"

The Potter shrugged, "Fine, but either way, I can't wait until we go to Hogwarts!" He said and my husband nodded.

"Just remember that you can't play Quidditch until your second year." Xander reminded and he shrugged.

"Just means I can practice more. I'm still super excited."

"It's so very exciting, your first year!"

Harry gave a nod of agreement, "It is, I can't wait to get my wand!"

"Oh, that reminds me!" Everyone then looked at Sirius, who was holding his broom in his hand now, obviously assuming that lessons were over for now.

"Reminds you of what?" My nephew asked and with his question, his godfather grinned.

"I got you and Henry some amazing presents a while back and have been waiting for your eleventh birthday to give them to the two of you.

(Henry's POV)

"It was a dream, just- Just a dream." Were the only words that kept spilling from my ever quivering lips as I sat up in my now messy bed, sweat running down my every limb as fear coursed through what seemed to be my very soul.

I'd had the dream again.

What could it possibly mean?

What should I do?"

Every so often for the last few weeks- No, for the last few months- Since about last October, I'd been having these... were they dreams? I don't know, I actually couldn't be sure but either way, it was something and I was seeing it.

At first, I honestly hadn't even had any doubts and had assumed that what I was seeing was just a weird set of repeating dreams, but then I had decided to tell Harry and that's when the fear had begun. I hadn't even told my cousin much, just that I was seeing some pretty scary things in my sleep and that's when the green eyed boy had given me my first set of doubts.

"Sometimes I do too, but when I told Aunt Rose, she said I was actually seeing my past, you know like I have a really good memory or something. Maybe you should talk to her too." He'd said in a nutshell, the nonchalant tone of his voice, declaring quite loudly that he unlike me, he had not been kept up night after night by what he was seeing in his sleep and that's when I, Henry had begun my slow change from thinking I was perfectly normal, to thinking that maybe I was something more, someone very unique, even for a Wizard.

I was way too scared to tell anyone else, so I simply didn't, going about the next days and then weeks, acting as though nothing was wrong, hoping that maybe they would chalk up my change in behavior to puberty and all that rubbish and at first it did seem to work. No one asked questions, or gave me any sign that they thought something was wrong, yet despite this, it felt to me as though they all knew. Dad was ever more observant it seemed and Aunt Xayla seemed to see right through my facade. My attempts to remain naive and innocent, my letting Harry learn it all first so that I could have more time, even if not that much to think and make my own conclusions of everything.

"Thanks for letting him win champ." Aunt Xayla had said quietly, patting me on the back and so scared that she knew why I'd lost on purpose, I'd shivered inwardly.

"He deserves to go first." I said, simply smiling and she, it seemed, bought the excuse for now.

Now finally, deciding to get out of bed, as I'd accidentally fallen asleep while trying, curled up in my bed, to attempt to figure out my life, while Harry flew, I got to my feet, and headed toward the bathroom, just as the bedroom door opened behind me and someone walked in.

I turned swiftly to see Dad walking in behind Harry. Both were laughing and talking about getting something or other, when they noticed me and stopped.

"Hey Henwing!" My "Brother" waved, calling me by his favourite mixed version of my regular and Marauder names. He must be used to, by now seeing me after a nightmare.

"Hey Prarry." I gave a forced smile as I waved back, then to Dad, "Finish already?"

He nodded, "You okay son?"

Shoot! Harry must be used to seeing me, but obviously, he wasn't.

"Yes, just a nightmare." I quickly assured in my most nonchalant voice and though he gave me a skeptical look, he nodded.

"Sirius says he has a present for us today." Harry grinned as he now walked fully into the middle of the room as I stretched with a nod. "He's giving us each one today, one tomorrow and the rest after we finish at Diagon Ally."

"Awesome!" I finally declared, glad for the excuse to genuinely smile.

I was so thankful for my family and what they did for me, because they ALWAYS DID do so much for me and I have no idea where or what I would be without them.

"Come on, let's go!" Dad finally interrupted us with a laugh and together, Harry and I nodded in unison as we followed him, my body having now cooled and that horrifying dream now slipping away as usual with the cover of my family to shield me. The only real question remaining though now, was for how long could they cover me?


When we entered the kitchen to eat supper before we could open a few presents, I smiled when I saw Aunt Petunia, Dudley and Darci sitting at the table, all locked in various degrees of conversation. The house that Uncle Zander, Sirius and Remus had built them had truly been spacious and beautiful, with two floors, four bedrooms and many other rooms and though they did sleep there, they were often over here with the rest of us and despite the crowdedness that often filled the house with everyone inside, no one really minded. Family was everything to all of us and because of this, dinners and our doors were always wide open for everyone we cared for, who wanted to attend.

"Hey birthday boys!"

"Almost birthday boys!" The two of us, Henry and I corrected in unison with a laugh and Mum shook her head with a laugh of her own.

"Because he was so persistent and eager to give you your gifts, Zander and I have decided to allow Sirius to give you them before dinner." Aunt Rose said, now turning to us and with a cheer, we turned to look at Sirius who was just re-entering the room, after having left to get the gifts from his room."

"Here you go."

(Xayla POV)

Both smiling widely, the two boys eagerly began unwrapping their presents, each stopping dead when they saw what they'd been given.

"So, what do you think?" My husband asked as the two boys pulled out their gifts with wide smiles on their faces.

"Is this a- is this a map? A map of Hogwarts?" It was Harry who had spoken, his voice quieting full of awe as he stared down as the folded map.

"Yes it is!" I smiled at Sirius' glee, knowing that he truly had been excited to give the boys their gifts.

"How in the world did you get that back?" Rose whispered from beside me and with his all too familiar grin, Sirius said.

"I got it back years ago. Remember when I would sneak out to get things from my house, you know before we reunited with Remus?" Everyone nodded, especially Rose, remembering all too well the state that Sirius had been in at that time. "Yes well, during that time, I wanted the three main things that I felt rightfully belonged to James after everything and though we all created it, that map was a part of those things. So, starting with that, I went and got all the items I wanted without issue."

"This was my Dad's?" Harry was in awe, himself.

"Whose was this?" It was Henry who had spoken as he, in his hands held the pensive that I had gotten for him but wanted Sirius to actually give to him. I knew lately that something was very wrong with his sleeping pattern and the way he was acting and I also knew that whatever it was he didn't want anyone to know about. So, by giving him that item my hope is that it will help him in sorting out whatever it is that he needs to sort out.

"it was actually mine when I was younger." I say and he smiled at me, knowing that I do know something is wrong but am only trying to help.

"thank you Aunt Xayla..." he whispered and I knew he was being honest.

"You're very welcome." I tell him just as Toby is yelling that he wants food.
