Chapter 3: Padfoot Returns And Horcrux Hunting
"The diary was the key, he created more then one, we're hunting them all down, if said are the house relics, the trio are getting purified." I said and Sirius nodded smiling. "I took a guess and guessed correctly, my scar is marking the second, and we're checking the obvious. The trio's relics, we hit a few bullseyes, they're being cleansed and returned to their respective house. But would Slytherin's heir destroy it, his own familial locket, to destroy an abomination here."
"Or would he leave them like that?" I asked and Vernon nodded. "You are not Salazar's heir, you're destroying the real heir's claim to power." Petunia said, smiling gently then. "If Reg was doing that, check my house, and tell Kreacher, you want the horcrux." Sirius said and I nodded. "My orders were to make normal, can't give Peter a reason to start turning dangerous and go human, but Mione, she's going to be in shock I knew and never told them sooner here."
"But come on, we live in the real world, come back to it." I said and they all nodded in agreement to that opinion sternly. "Foolish young lady, really foolish, you honestly think Peter would wait for you to call your professors. No, no he would take you hostage or kill you on the spot, same for the previous 12 years, if that map only works at school. Percival was protecting your mother in law, and you, from him." Vernon said sternly and Sirius nodded in agreement.
"Percy considered he could be alive, but without the map no proof." I said and he nodded. "I get why, but the map never lies, your father, Remus and I hexed it to tell the truth. Who has it exactly, if Percy considered the possibility?" he asked and I nodded. "The twins have it, knowing the guys, they're giving it to me for Christmas." I said and he nodded smiling. "Then I'm staying furry and prowling the school, but I'm taking up residence at the shack." he said and I nodded.
"But coming in through the Honey Dukes cellar, like Barty said you're not missing anything, my orders, like his, are keep your head down and stay on campus. We can't give Peter any reason to start turning dangerous and go human." he said and I nodded. "But no adventures now, this is the end of the adventures, we just make it till you get the map. And drop the bomb, only ministry Sanct can be trusted, I dropped by first, before you started school." he said to me then.
"Life like it once was, there we go, so that for the semester, I been ordered no breaking orders, stay on campus and keep my head down. Unless it has to do with training, or Hagrid's class, I'm to stay indoors here right now, Ron don't start. As Remus, Arthur and the Ministry said to stay on campus, then I stay on campus, further emphasized, by my legal guardian." I said and he smiled gently, knowing he's my legal guardian, and doing as he promised to dad then.
"I'm a seeker Paddy, in truth, but trust me, after two years of this, they come onto the pitch, I just scared my friends out of their wits, as they sensed more soul in me then necessary. I ran a shot to the Renfield pack, paying them for bodyguard attention, knowing I'm a wolf lover. Based on Remus and David, I don't care what they are, it's not them or the giants now. That killed my parents, but supremacist purebloods, and a crazy old man." I said and they nodded gently.
"Yeah saying he deserved it, because we're normal is like saying whoever's family deserved to die, because they're purebloods." Vernon said sternly and I nodded. "Yeah stuck up little rich kids, I'm as down to earth as it gets, but I'm a blood traitor." I said and they nodded. "If I remember correctly, that means you like muggles and want to be friends?" she said and Sirius nodded. "We also hate the dark arts with a passion." I said and she and Vernon nodded gently.
"If Ron says that about David, it's over, I had it with his stuck up attitude, that's my family you're insulting, I have two wolves for relatives." I said sternly and they nodded. "Yeah point taken, young man watch it, say it, you're losing him forever, you just insulted our entire family. But blood traitors and wolves, you're as bad as that little upstart your rivals with." I heard a woman's voice say sternly. "That's the understatement of the century." I said and they nodded.
"So what's the big deal?" I heard from a young adult, one a beautiful young woman and next to her was her husband, and his friend, a tanned skin man with brunette hair. "My grandfather ran the medical and beauty care potions, everyone uses in that world. That my family revenue came to quadrillions, add my cloak's original owner, and dad is heir to him. That's our house founder at school, my family carries, borderline nonillions." I said and he nodded then in understanding.
"It's this, and I'm famous for something I see no reason to be happy about, when others didn't, but would you want to be famous for surviving the spell that killed your family. And who knows how many other people, and the character that did it, is hell bent on killing you. And you just started your mission, in destroying his power, before that does happen?" I asked and they nodded. "Point taken baby, and no we don't." her daughter said and Vernon nodded sternly.
"Came back for the summer, now that you're free of it?" I asked and they nodded smiling. "Hey big sister, big brother." I smiling and they chuckled. "Mum's your mother's adopted big sister?" she asked and I nodded. "Lilly Evans, married named Potter, I'm Harry James Potter, nice to meet you Chris, Andy." I said and they both nodded smiling. "As I said wolf lover, it was never your kind that did it, but a bunch of purebloods, that hate muggles." I said and they nodded.
"I understand you're ticked at the insult, that's us, your family they're talking about here, that they're condemning a good man, simply because we're muggles, and David. He was an American tourist, he didn't deserve this, nor did they deserve that ridicule, Ryan in truth, deserved to be put down, but if Dumbledore allowed him to live, the bastard is a dead man." we heard, and I turned around and saw a family then, who matched the pictures on the wall.
"Uncle Dave, Aunt Alex?" I said and he smiled. "Hey son, nice to meet you, I got a question here, but how did I survive that many bullets?" he asked me and I nodded. "Muggle conventional weapons will not kill a werewolf, it takes the killing curse to do that." Sirius said and they nodded. "So they got it 3/4's right, only I survived it, and John has me caged every full moon, okay I understand, as for what you just said, the guards." he said and we both nodded.
"Dementors, lovely, we got these things guarding the school, only the lawsuit is on Dumbledore, if you collapse, 150 feet off the ground." she said and I nodded. "Yep, but remember Jackson, same orders, if it's raining that day and freezing, what's you're biggest concern?" I asked and he nodded. "Hypothermia and you're catching a cold from exposure, you need to stay warm, so stay indoors, till you get the map baby." Sirius said and I nodded to the orders then gently.
"Meow!" we heard and I turned and saw the neighbor's cat. "Hey Mr. Tibbles, no kitten is in training to be security kitten, me staying at recreational kennel. When in big city the rest of warm season." I said and he mewed. "Not mister, you just want me to call you Tibbles, yeah okay I can do that." I said and he mewed. "Who am I to you, you ball of fur you?" I asked and he chuckled. "Tibbles, you've been here all this time now?" Sirius said and he meowed a yes.
"Tibbles, not Mr. Tibbles, who is he exactly?" Vernon asked and he smiled. "He's your sister cat, Tuny." he said and she smiled and I smiled in delight. "Hey mate, let me guess, you were my playmate as baby kitten size now?" I asked and he mewed a yes. "Yeah Kitten doubled to tripled in height right now, he's a growing kitten, needs plenty of foot." Vernon said and he nodded. "And heads up, after Ron trashed the backyard." I said and they nodded sternly to the news.
"I'm sorry if they scared you guys, but that freak remark, is really aimed at the Death Eater Spawn, they're all children of Death Eaters, a few supremacists. Everyone else is like me, Sirius, Arthur and 190 others, we're all what's called blood traitors. We hate the dark arts, that's black magic with a passion." I explained and he nodded in relief. "Arthur and Molly are blood traitors, they like muggles, okay that helps, they were scared something happened to you after him."
"But I can't believe they did that, how old are the twins exactly?" Petunia asked and I ran my hands through my hair. "They're 15 now, but their brother is 17, last year he just earned his driver's license." I said and he nodded. "Yeah I agree with Molly, beds empty, no note, car gone, are they trying to scare us and her into a heart attack, you guys were flying high on adrenaline. But you're lucky no one else, beside Petunia and me, saw you." Vernon said and I nodded then.
"Don't ask, but the Goblin way to destroy these things, is completely barbaric, I swore off pork products now." I said and they nodded, before they grimaced. "Point taken, and I don't need the grisly details to how they do that." Marge said and I nodded. "I'm now hearing my brothers mental responses to knowing this information, Cedric is my counterpart seer." I said and Sirius nodded. "Cedric, Amos's son, he's a couple years older than you." he said and I nodded gently.
"I'm going undercover in the tournament, if Junior escapes, and rejoins him, I know who did it, but Ron's jealousy knows no bounds." I said and he nodded. "So back up plan, to prevent that?" she asked and I smiled. "The Auror Academy, that's the police academy." I said and Sirius nodded. "Nice thinking there, separate you from the jealous hotheads, who see being your friend will bring fame and fortune, but he's rich now, that's plenty." he said and I nodded then.
"Dumbledore did that on purpose, after they got me to Ron's house, the school letter shows up 2 hours later, last year." I said and they nodded. "To get you further under his thumb, he's using your girlfriend's family to control you?" Sirius said sternly and I nodded. "Question: is taking Arithmancy and Ancient Runes, good in your eyes?" I asked and he chuckled. "Yeah if you want to be an auror, add these classes, we need to understand languages, take everything."
"Who's the easy class in electives?" he asked and I nodded. "Hagrid, he's doing COMC." I said and he nodded in exasperation. "Care Of Magical Creatures, it's our zoo, unfortunately the first subject of the class, there's always an injury, because they offend them. And get it to the arm or leg, best guess is Lucius's son, from seeing how well Harry does, does just that. And it starts a lawsuit, then again, Hagrid's not what you consider clear headed." he said and Vernon nodded.
"His idea of safe, what we see as dangerous, are just that, but these things, every class V creature that could do a human harm is to him safe here. As not what we consider it to be, but said werewolf was really Remus, as we prowled east of Aragog's colony." he said and I nodded. "This year's about to turn into a thorn in their side, if your sibling, mate, happens to be her new cat, I'm staying out of it, and courting Ginny." I said and the cat mewed gently to the news.
As I picked him up, and he pushed his head under my chin. "I missed you kitten, now I get you back finally, now that you remember." He said with a purr and I smiled gently. "Alright, he belonged to your mother, before deciding to stay with Arabella, okay got it. That's why he's prowling the neighborhood, he's kitten sitting." Petunia said and I nodded. "Well I'm cat person, but evidently they knew, that his brother was his breed of cat." I said and they nodded, smiling.
"That was their father's car, you remember the argument over getting the motorist out of the house?" I asked and they nodded, before I heard laughter coming from upstairs then. "They had that exact fight, and it winds up being the Weasleys that do it." I said and they shook their heads, before the cat gave a bemused meow to that. "Yeah kittens broke the rules, need to be 1 year old for box with wheels license, to control box." I said and Vernon chuckled and nodded.
"Who are the bloody devils in the details next year, Severus is retired." she asked and I explained that. "The Durmstrang Headmaster, and Crouch told me last night, his son is still alive, but he's under house arrest, literally." I said and she and Vernon sighed in relief. "Said loophole was for emergencies only, and the trio called said emergency. After your cousin's house elf framed me for a hover charm last summer." I said and Sirius nodded gently to me then.
Before he could answer there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." I said and opened the door, to find Crouch, Rufus Scrimgeour and with them were 2 men, one who was wearing worn out robes and another man with a cane, and prosthetic leg and smiled. "Mooney?" I asked and I heard an immediate growl. "Uncle Remus, god I missed you." I said and he smiled as he hugged me. "Missed you too cub, gods you grown, you look like your father." he said to me gently.
"Sirs, Professor, you're in luck, he's here, come on." I said and they nodded and came in. "Guys, my Auror mentor's here, Sirius, Remus dropped by, he wants to see you." I said and I knew he gulped, as he walked in. "Professor, Judge, brother." he said and they sighed in relief as Professor Alastor Moody nodded. "Barty contacted me Sirius, and told me Harry's speculation, please say that's what happened?" Remus Lupin asked and he nodded and he smiled in relief.
"Is what he told us true, Sirius, it's reversed, it always was?" Moody asked and he nodded. "It's true, Alastor every word, I'm in Peter's place, he's in mine, after trying to kill Severus." he said and they smiled. "You guys follow me back, after rounding up everyone?" I asked and the duo nodded. "We wanted to confirm your story, and just got it out right from your godfather, so he's on parole, starting now." Crouch said and I nodded in relief at the news, as he smiled then.
"Remus, the twins and Lee Jordan, the current game announcer, have the map, they're our followers." Sirius said and Remus nodded in relief then. "Twins, you mean the twin boys, of Molly Prewett?" he asked and we both nodded then. "Dave, this is Remus, Remus this is Dave Kessler, your counterpart wolf." I said and they nodded and shook hands. "Anyone home!" we heard and I nodded. "Great, it's wolf pack central, that's Luke!" Scrimgeour said and I nodded.
"Yeah Luke, we're in the sitting room!" I called out and he and 4 members of his pack came in. "Hey kiddo, we got the message, we'll take the job." he said and I nodded. "How much do you need, for clean clothes, and paying for food, because you're working for ministry Sanct." I said and he nodded. "We can get by on 5,000 each, with your family funds, not making a dent." he said and I nodded. "Fair enough, I'll double it, split you in half." I said and they smiled gently.
"So half of us are here in England the other half are in Scotland, scouting from the England scotland border, all the way up to Hogsmeade and the school." he said and I nodded, smiling then. "Remus, I know this is dangerous, but everyone knows what you sound like, without that potion, in the muggleborn, so Peter's hearing it, x'62 here." I said and he nodded. "Then stay in the great hall, and lock the doors, so Luke, Eric, Hayden and I can prowl the castle here."
"Before taking it outside now, only you can control us, get the link back in place, for me, and into place with the guys now, Sirius, as we know most, we do it together." he said and Sirius nodded. "You all look the same don't you, what Dave looked like on the movie, that's what you look like." I asked and they nodded. "I'm contacting the cops telling them, for the next week, in 3 weeks, anyone that's out and about, clone themselves, so they never walk into you here."
"Doctor, he's joining their pack, so he can go hunting." I said and Dr. John Hirsch nodded smiling. "Here's your quarry." I said and passing them a picture of Peter as an adult. "So the rat is a real rat, and like his little buddies, has a taste for blood, he's supposed to be dead." David said and I nodded and he gripped my shoulders then. "I'll do it baby, we get this month together, before I see you this coming Christmas." he said and I nodded, smiling gently then.
"I heard it again last night, who was a prowling, or escaped last night?" I asked and the quintet nodded. "Adam escaped a second time, after 23 years in jail." Luke said sternly and I nodded. "That furball, the one that did David, escaped?" I repeated and they nodded. "Shoot him, under orders by the Black, Potter and Evans families, shoot to kill that furball. And screw what the old man says, he should have been put down." I said and they and Moody nodded sternly to me.
"I'm saying that too, since the Lupins, Potters and Blacks are related by marriage to the Evans/Price clan, we want him given the kiss, or the veil." Sirius said and he nodded sternly. "Is he a member of Fenrir's back?" I asked and Crouch nodded. "Then he's my first sacrifice down the road, to becoming an auror with a heart of stone for justice. And followed by Peter when I find him." I said and they nodded. "Your mother would agree with it." Alex said to that opinion.
"Don't give me that line of rubbish old man, I'm being who I was meant to become, but we are in this for the species boys and girls, it's simple numbers, the D.E. wolves have more. And everyday, the ministry Sanct, have to make decisions, that sends hundreds of people like you to their deaths." I said and Dudley smiled. "Didn't they tell you Granger, that's what the JMLE's good for." Dudley said and I nodded. "Hope you're ready for more." I said smiling to that then.
"What's that opinion exactly?" Andy asked and I explained that. "That no forgiveness is the first step down the road to darkness." I said and they nodded in disgust. "My version murdered thousands of innocent people, and I killed the pack leader myself. And he thinks justice, with no mercy, is the first step down the path, to becoming evil?!" Andy said in shock and I nodded. "The other side of that coin, is forgiving everyone, no matter how feeble the excuse here."
"That the matter of justice gets so eroded, that it's non existant." Vernon said and Crouch nodded. "That's why they considered me with a heart of stone, I'm not taking that line, they did it on the imperio, they had this in them since 4th year. It's one too many years of screwing with black magic, as for your remark, Harold, Dudley, point taken boys, you made your point." Crouch said and we both nodded. "Were you their school chief?" he asked and Crouch nodded.
"I am, or I was, 20 years ago, I'm your parents age, but I'm looking 70." he said and they nodded. "We're 45, so parent's age huh, that makes you 68 years old, okay got it, grandpa mentor to my nephew." he said and Crouch nodded gently. "Hermione's going to be in shock, I'm not shedding any tears, for Adam, or that I'm becoming you, of the 7th graders. But it was my family that died, I deserve justice, so can the judgement." I said and he nodded gently.
"So everything's true, it got reversed, Peter is a Death Eater, double Agent, you're the Order Agent hunting him down, to bring him to me and Millie." Crouch said and Sirius nodded and they smiled. "Then you're on parole starting now, your orders are get to campus, and patrol the school grounds, I'm alerting Arthur, and telling Aberforth in that." Crouch said and he smiled in relief and delight then. "I can live at the Hog's Head then." he said and they nodded smiling.
"I was wondering what was taking so long." Moody said and I nodded. "In alerting them to what the hades is going on up there right now, we had repeated arrivals, because though an Order. In members, you're still an Auror, and my boss, you say stay on campus, I stay on Campus." I said and he nodded gently. "Alright, seeing you now, I see your father at 18, he should been an auror, but thanks to Peter we lost him and your mother." he said to me, gently to that, then.
"Family meeting, now!" I called out and the Dursleys, Kesslers and Sirius nodded to me. "If you heard my remark on Hermione, she's Carter as a just turned teenager here now. In thinking she's always right, Ron, the lazy bum that he is, is going to be in shock here. Being as both his father and Hermione said you brainwashed me, and when we find him, they're going to realize. Now, they did enough damage, nothing will ever be the same again." I said and he nodded.
"She thinks, once I attempt the spell, I did it wrong, but you know I did it right, while for him, he's of the opinion, that everything his parents and Hermione say is true. But then they never knew you, not the way I do, because you're my papa uncles." I said and they both nodded. "Yeah they barely know us, you knew us, pre Hogwarts, you know us better then anyone, that why believe the lie, when you can believe your memories." Remus said to that with a smile.
"So this little hotshot never believed you, thinking I brainwashed you in said syndrome, no you changed and grew up, being repeatedly reunited with us your father's friends. You never needed the details, because your marauder intuition is all there, you knew and know it." Sirius said and I nodded. "Well Severus may consider the possibility, but not true, it's the map, as you said, that ends up back in your hands guys, is his way to me." I said and they nodded, smiling then.
"Lovely, alright Severus, we're not doing this with you, we both want justice and the only way to do that, is us combining together. And telling Dan we found him finally right now, Harry's gone auror cub, and had orders, to stay on campus." Remus said and I nodded. "I figured, you know and knew mum's muggle/Ancient descent best friend?" I asked and they nodded. "We do, so that's his daughter, Hermione, alright got it, I'm booking a stay at Hog's head now, son."
"But as you grow up things change, you fell in love, and have a chance to resurrect your family, and that's a big deal to you, what's also a big deal, is you get me and Remus back. Just because your friends, they don't get a say in what you do, it's up to me and their parents. I need to make a trip to see Aggie, before I start high tailing it up there." he said and I nodded smiling. "Aggie?" Petunia asked and he nodded. "Frank's mother." Crouch said and they both nodded.
"Frank is Frank Longbottom, one of my men, aurors back then, he was tortured till he lost his mind, but there's a reason we call these spells unforgivable. It's because they're a one way ticket to Azkaban, but as I said, as my book self now. A lot of his army claimed they only did his bidding, by being under the imperio curse, but here's the real rub. How do you sort out the liars exactly?" Moody asked and I nodded. "The recall button." I said and he smiled proudly then.
"Very good, you can only tell who was lying, by them responding to the dark mark recall, if he brings himself back right now. But with us hunting the others down, we get them all, before you do the 5th in front of us, lethal injection, what's that exactly?" he asked, and the doctor answered that question. " Lethal injection is the practice of injecting one or more drugs into a person for the express purpose of causing rapid death." he said and they nodded gently.
"Then that venom would cause this in an instant, it takes 2 minutes, maybe 3, the only cure is phoenix tears." Remus said and they nodded. "Yeah the only antidote is phoenix tears, as he found out last month, before school let out." he said and they nodded. "Is Ben still working at the school?" Remus asked and I nodded. "Poppy's male counterpart, I saw a man looking like Maggie's footman, on her version of The Secret Garden." I said and he chuckled and nodded.
"We're going that way with you, you say no adventures, then no adventures." Remus said and I nodded. "It's the reverse Papa, I want separation from them, to be my own person this year, that's why I chose Alex and Jeremy, more independence. I'm courting Ginny, I just want to be seen as me, not we, this year, be seen for my intellect, my seeker abilities. My auror abilities then my adventures, me, not we." I said and Remus nodded in understanding then gently.
As he pulled me into a hug, and I tightened my arms around him then. "Papa, you think you could train me with that charm, spend a few weeks working on it. I got you and the Professor in training, for the next 3 weeks, I'm coming by your office repeatedly." I said and he nodded then. "That's fine cub, I can teach you the patronus charm, Sirius and I are your paternal family, Severus and Dan maternal, but there's the truth, as for this Maggie..." he started to say then.
"Maggie is Maggie Smith, she's playing Minerva, your book-self gave descriptions, so we got an idea in what Minerva looks like now, since I never seen this woman personally yet." Marge explained and the guys all nodded, as the Doctor and Vernon nodded in agreement. "Well she blew her first impression of us, we're 2, you had the gimmies here." I said and Dudley nodded. "Well like Barty and Sirius, I want you to stay indoors, as things get going here, so with that."
"Unless for your training as your hockey position, or class for Hagrid, no leaving the campus, no adventures, understood." Vernon said and I nodded. "Is that what quidditch is to you, hockey?" Crouch said and he nodded. "If you added 10 more players, there's enough for a full time, Harry needs to talk to whoever his captain is, and create special team. And with Saturday practice games, make the year more fun now, till the season starts." he said and Crouch nodded then.
"Yeah I had to bring her up to date, on the fact you had it reversed, before Sirius stopped by as his animagus self and then my cat did." I said and they chuckled. "Professor, Pad', the old fool never wanted you to know this, but he's convinced, even after I destroy them all and kill him. I have to die to destroy him completely." I said and he nodded in disgust. "Yes he's lost his mind completely alright, okay, I'm ministry Sanct now." they all said together at that at that news.
"You also part of the Order?" I asked and Moody nodded sternly. "Yes and Minerva takes everything he says, no questions asked." he said and I nodded. "Well I'm well and truly free of that old fool right now, MLE here, boss, you're my mentor, I can do this." I said and he nodded smiling. "So everything Barty told me was true, the obstacle course, the chamber, everything is all true here?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah it's all true." I said and he nodded sternly then.
"I stopped him twice, the second barely killed both of us, that's Ginny and me, because of the snake, but we been traumatized by that, it was close, any closer I would be dead." I said and they nodded sternly. "Fifty years and he never discovered the chamber, yeah, this is reckless, he's lucky these stunts never caused you to say the hades with this." Scrimgeour said and Sirius nodded sternly. "Why are you malcontent?" Vernon asked and Moody explained that gently.
Before he could answer I heard a loud squeak. "That sounds like a rubber ducky." Vernon said and then we heard a loud thunk and a secondary squeak and I looked out the window. And started laughing. "Guys, who of you did this exactly, come on, our parents said, I don't know how many times, don't do anything to get the muggles attention. And a rubber ducky this size would be that something." I said, knowing immediately from the trajectory where it came from.
As I knew only two families from the said neighborhood of its original home, one was Ron, the other was Cedric Diggory, my counterpart seeker for the Hufflepuff team then. "Oh guys, you better check this out, someone's rubber ducky, it's the size of a minivan. And sitting in our front yard, pureblood magical, someone's growing potion now. It over shot the mark and came here, but come here." I said and they all walked out the door, and saw it sitting there gently then.
"Sir, who else besides Ron and Cedric live in St. Ottery Catchpole?" I asked and they smiled as Crouch answered that. "The Lovegoods, the Weasleys are in Cairo, and Amos went to Ireland on vacation, before school starts right now, so with no one to play with. She decided to practice potions, looks like she over shot the mark here." he said with a bemused smile then. "Well there's my next stop, I'm going to see baby sister." I said and they nodded, smiling gently.
"And since when do rubber duckies start falling from the sky, and ones this size too?" Andy asked, looking at it with an amused chuckle. "Since whoever made their growing potion a little too strong, it started growing out of control and their parent had to get it out of the lab. Before it destroyed the kitchen wall, if they're half blood, or the basement, if they're a pureblood. At least it landed in the middle of the street and not someone's car or yard." I said with a chuckle.
"Only a 12 year old whose potions training got a little out of hand would cause this, who is Ginny's best friend exactly?" Remus asked and Crouch nodded with a bemused smile. "That's Luna Lovegood." he said and Remus shook his head. "Well this tells me, if she sent that here, that it's her attempts to make everyone start laughing here. And that's going to be turn said boggart into a rubber ducky." he said with an amused smile and Sirius hid a laugh at that.
"Quack?" we heard, only the squeaker sound 5x's louder then normal. "You were aiming for big bathtub, and landed here, sorry boy, but big bathtub, it's two blocks over. Public bathtub, for ducklings fellow." Vernon said as every teenager and preteen on the block started laughing at that. "Where he come from exactly, Vernon?" the neighbor across from us asked and I nodded. "One of my 12 year old peers, their chemistry mixture over shot it." I said and he nodded then.
"And instead of cows falling from the sky, we get rubber duckies the size of said cow." another said with a chuckle. "My 12 year old peer, her parent must be a potions, chemistry expert, she was experimenting her growing concoction, poured a little too much on it. And it over shot the mark of being the size of a Saint Bernard, and reached the size of ridable pool floatie. Before it destroyed the basement, said parent threw it out of the house." I said and they nodded smiling.
"Xeno, I get the message, and yeah Remus and I will come to see you, just put this guy in a pool, before anyone starts to wonder why we got giant rubber duckies falling from the sky." Sirius said with a bemused smile and the neighbors started laughing. "Okay…, so your peer's science experiment started growing out of control and crashed in front of our houses. Magical or just PASS." he asked and I nodded. "Hogwarts, I'm him." I said and they smiled in amazement.
"So these books are really about you, you're the star of these books?!" his son said, holding up the first 4 and I nodded. "Yeah the car was the Weasleys themselves, these are the new characters added, so you know the truth, because it's right there in the books." I said and they nodded. "The first two are true, but the story changes at this one, because we're resetting it, at the same time that the SGA does." I said, pointing at the chapter: The Marauder's Map then.
"They're my uncles, and the trio of Stars of said movie, they're related by adoption to me, Price is my mother's adopted big sister, grandpa's her godfather." I said and they nodded. "This I can take, but everything else, no I can't, but young lady, ease back, before you destroy something." Petunia said and everyone nodded as my neighbor's smiled gently. "Luna, her growing potion over shot the mark, and started growing out of control, as for your question now, Alexandra."
"I'm not happy with the current state of affairs in the Order, the old fool is wasting time, time we do not have." Moody said and they nodded. "I found the first, and nearly killed the second, but Fawkes stopped me." I said and they nodded. "Like I said, wasting time, time we do not have, these next two years are critical, we don't destroy them all, before the third task. It's starting all over again." he said sternly and Sirius and I nodded in agreement to that thought.
"Actually we need to get 5, and the book shows I killed the snake next, leaving him with the ring, and I kill him the tournament." I said and they chuckled and nodded. "Yeah that works, but if we're doing a reset, we can spend 10 years hunting them all down, you kill yours. In the Chamber, and kill him 2 years later." David said and the sextet and I nodded smiling. "That's our chosen point of action here then." Scrimgeour said and Moody nodded in agreement.
"Revving up for a war that never happens, he's lost his mind." Alex said and I nodded. "Yeah and with that, I'm disgusted with him enough already, for playing god with our lives, add you. And he completely ticked me off, Paddy Ryan was a death eater." Crouch said sternly and they and a man of 74 nodded angrily to that. "I didn't think you three would be here?" I said and they nodded. "Petunia called us, and his wife, over for brunch." She said and I nodded smiling.
"Well nice to meet you, I'm Harry Potter, Lilly's son." I said and they nodded. "So you're what this James Potter looked like as a just turned teenager, okay, that helps now. Nice to meet you baby, as you know who we are, that works, but thank you for explaining. So this werewolf that attacked him, is a wizard." she said and I nodded. "In truth the Proctors are the ferals hunting grounds, but if you heard howling coming from 3 sections all over town, Remus, his uncle."
"He was calling out to you, while looks like Adam escaped a second time, the only thing you're in trouble for, was the riot on Piccadilly Circus, not your fault. They should have booked sooner, before Shadow switched places with you." Scrimgeour said and they nodded in relief, and we heard a growl. "You like that name?" I asked and I got a growl in the affirmative. "Okay then, Shadow, Uncle Shadow." I said and he gave a purring growl in response, and they chuckled.
As I knew he turned his head in affection. "I wish I could pet you Shadow, but I can tonight, but when you see me, knowing you imprinted on me, the way Luke and his pack did. And Mooney did when I was born, but I'm your cub now, job to protect cubs, so stay out of underground. And out of the dark cave with white sheet with people on it, and bad noise now, after said riot. That you caused 276 moons ago, okay." I said and he gave an okay growl, in response to that.
"Well he just imprinted on him." Sirius said and they nodded smiling at that news. "Did he start arguing in your changing my classes, or my staying here the rest of the month?" I asked and Crouch nodded. "Yeah he did, but we're not budging and he can't brow beat us into submission here." Scrimgeour said and I nodded. "Alright, Shadow, as you do your next phasing, tonight, then I'm standing in front of your cage, as you see me, right now, your human is in control."
"But tonight you, so when you switch places, you see me, as a teenage cub, okay." I said and we got a growl. "You got it tonight, and two days before you leave." the doctor said and I nodded. "That's fine, I need alone time with my uncles anyway, I knew about werewolves, because I'm related, by adoption, to them." I said and they smiled. "Alex, mum chose you." I said and they nodded. "So you could have had a big sister." She said sternly and I nodded then.
"The add on choices aside from Sirius, are you, Dan, Ed Bones, Amos Diggory and Frank Longbottom." I said and they nodded. "Well that's illegal to disrespect your parents will, and he's been caught red handed here." Moody said sternly and I nodded. "Fair enough, let me guess, the war got brutal if you lost your leg, eye and a small chip off you nose?" Alex asked him and he nodded to her gently then. "Explosion hexes." he said simply and we nodded gently.
"You need a shower and clean set of clothes, you been on the go, for the last 8 days, you're out on parole, so you can patrol campus." I said and he nodded in agreement. "This is going to be a long 5 months, but the more he pushes, just keep calling us, because he's desperate. Just to keep control of you and our eyes are open to what he is now." Crouch said and I nodded gently. "As for said report, I did an exclusive here, from our familial relationship to the key now."
"We just put out the news, I remember everything, and guessed right, in what you would tell me, before you guys try to kill each other." I said and he smiled in relief. "Why?" Remus asked and I explained that. "Severus is teaching potions at the school." I said and they nodded in aggravation. "Yeah point taken, putting the 3 of us in the same room, is another teenage bickering match, near self defense duel waiting to happen." he said and I nodded gently to him.
"As I said Severus is at the school with me, and Remus, you just took the defense job and I already know what you, and don't care, Ron's in Cairo. That they took Peter with them, only Ron doesn't realize that." I said and they nodded. "So you reversed it and then realized what happened and told Cornelius, you cleared me. Well that helps right now, Remus knows I'm innocent, but the bloody rat is in trouble, and why would a man want to spend 12 years."
"As a blasted rat, if he was innocent, tell me that exactly?" he asked and Vernon nodded. "I get it and point taken here, alright, I'm slightly bigger than you, in clothing size here. Harry you got your wand, he can…" he started to say and I shook my head. "I can't, no magic outside school till I'm 17, magically, 18 mugglely." I said and they nodded then. "That's the easy part, Sirius, I brought it with me." Moody said and he smiled and nodded as he took the bottle from him.
As I looked between them and nodded. "I'll do it here, so they see me walking out the door, but in reality, you brought me to his house, and we can check it, for said horcrux. " I said and they smiled as I yanked a few hairs out, and put them in the potion. "That's the doppelgänger potion, so he's taking my appearance and voice here. We use this, in being an auror, but they don't teach this one till we're 16." I said and they nodded. "Gemino." Scrimgeour said gently then.
"Just get some clothes, and make yourself more presentable, before the story gets out." Crouch said and he nodded. "You have the news report?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah we created it last night, but once the word gets out, it's asking for him to start denying it. And the repeated calls to the office get started, because I just damaged his reputation, severely." I said and he nodded. "The old fool deserves it for destroying your life." the doctor said and they nodded.
"Well this gives a muggle opinion to it, in my eyes right now, being a medical doctor, and you certainly read my opinion correctly. After I said he's in shock right now, that Jackson's clone was killed, but Jackson himself is still alive. But that's the part he forgot, in case that happened, but quite the shock is a gross understatement, for what he saw that night, and waking up. Surrounded by strangers, till he started to trust me." he said and I nodded to that opinion then.
As he took the story. "Dumbledore: is he daft or is he dangerous, Considered by some to be the greatest Sorcerer in the world, undercover by the Source. The Source revealed, that behind that grandfatherly expression as headmaster, is dangerous man. One that will stop at nothing to remain his title, even if that includes sacrificing a child. And for his Greater Good, he will, playing god with the lives of his followers currently."
"And like a common criminal, the Source says Harry Potter presented evidence and knowledge that Dumbledore has everyone fooled. He is really what the muggles call a schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur, which appears to be a mental disease. Thinking because he killed the Wizard Grindelwald and carries the Elder Wand, that we should worship at his alter, anyone that refuses to, is considered going dark."
"Being as Potter stopped he who must not be named, when he was a baby, Potter revealed the secret, his mother's protection charm. The Charm would appear to be a very strong protection charm she studied before the attack. As the killing curse struck the charm, bounced off it, and struck him instead, leaving only a scar. Only for Potter to realizing in doing so, it tore a 6th piece of soul off him, and sticking it in Potter."
"As we later learned, that ability enabled him to talk to snakes, and there appears to be a two way connection, but nobody fear here. Potter intends to destroy it, via muggle execution methods, something called lethal injection. Currently he and the ministry are hunting down the rest of these anchors, and the chamber debacle. Said is connected to one of them, the diary, Potter goes on to wanting to be seen normal."
"Have a normal year for once and this year he gets it finally, before killing him at the tournament next year, where he's going undercover for us and the ministry. The true champion based on his sources is the Hufflepuff Seeker, Cedric Diggory. Son of Amos Diggory head of the Control of Magical Creatures Department, Potter we now see. As a very engaging and good young man, gave us his entire life story now, in truth."
"That life story reveals why his aunt hates magicals, it's because of the Werewolf David Kessler, who is the husband of her adoptive sister and best friend. Alexandra Price, a nurse working at the Saint Martin's General hospital here in London. Not only did the Death Eaters destroy his life, they, by taking his mother away from her. With the help of Albus Dumbledore, her happiness as well, as she's taking it out on Potter."
"Under further note here, Harry revealed here in what really happened, but it seems Peter Pettigrew was a rat animagus now. In destroying the block and killing the said muggles there, he really cut his finger off. And then left Sirius Black looking like use of the reductor curse killed him. And after destroying a gas main, on said block, Black himself, under orders by Harry's Parents, was ordered to bring him in to the ministry."
"So we have that story reversed, Black is the Order member, ordered by the Order victims families, if he turns them into him. Go and hunt him down and bring him into Alastor Moody and Barty Crouch Senior, for trial sentence. This is what Dumbledore never wanted us to learn, he was witness to this in James's will. Peter is the secret keeper, Sirius wasn't, under further note is Harry's waiting here now in truth."
"To get the evidence, which appears to belong to the Potter gang themselves, who call themselves the Marauders, that two artifacts, that once were used for mischief. Are now security devices, Harry has one already: his cloak, and now he needs his father's map. With two blown quidditch seasons do to injuries, Harry's spending this season, working at getting that championship now, with his captain graduating this year."
"Further note is he's also just revealed he and his bride, Ginevra Molly Weasley, are taking a year off in the adventures now, wanting a normal year this year. Under request he has asked to add 2 hard classes, and the EWA has agreed to that. Said classes taken are to be Arithmacy and Ancient Runes, under the tutorialship. And of Alexandra Cunningham and Jeremy Addams, so this finally gives a year of normality."
"Upon learning more, Potter revealed here the connection between himself, Hermione Granger and Severus Snape. As Lilly, Daniel Granger and Severus were close friends as kids, and guessing correctly here who put them in witness protection. What the muggles call it, as we call it the secret keeper spell now, Potter has forgiven Snape. For his treatment, wanting a clean start, as he's entering what the muggles call."
"In truth the 7th grade, which appears to be third year to us, so this means instead of 11 years schooling they have 12, from 5 years old to 18 years of age now. Anyone that read the report to why he lost his temper last week and said balloon jinx. Margery Dursley crossed the line in insulting his parents, and brought that upon herself. As we all know at 13, we all gain control enough to prevent something from exploding."
"Let off on a warning, Potter was heading off to cool down, and catch the bus to London, and instead, learning we got a wolf in the area. Black got him on the Knight bus and right to London to meet up with Minister Fudge and Lord Crouch Senior. That upon learning why he escaped, Potter revealed the true story to us, finally here. In the message of undoing James's will, Harry revealed to us, that Black was never it now."
"He was never the traitor, thinking that he would come after him, as the obvious first choice, they switched at the last minute. And Albus Dumbledore was witness to this switching and we went on that. So Black is innocent of said murder charges, by order of the ministry, Black is now on parole. And hunting down the real traitor, so all of us, whose children go there, make like normal, we can't give Pettigrew reason now."
"To start turning dangerous and go human now, Potter is taking the year off, after two action packed years of mayhem, after returning to us. Potter on request, has asked you don't ask questions, because he's in a very fragile state right now. Upon this realization, that his entire life was destroyed, by a supposed family friend. That to him, this is a me situation, not a we now, so let him focus on his training now."
"So under direct orders by the ministry and his bride's father, Arthur Weasley, Potter is staying on campus, and no breaking rules, so normal year. As he has a family friend with him, Remus John Lupin, who is a friend of his father's and member of his gang. So no adventures this year, means more time studying here right now, more time training for the house quidditch cup, and more time with his bride now finally."
"So Potter is too busy in training, and spending time with friends to have adventures this year, a very engaging young man. Though we know his legend, it's behind the scenes he reveals he's wanting a normal life. But until he's free of said prophecy, he has to wait, and in the meantime, learn as much on horcruxes as possible. To destroy them all, finding one already, he's destroying his own this winter now finally here."
"But it's Potter we blood traitors should be putting our faith in now, he gave us hope, one destroyed Horcrux, and he's hunting down the others. Before he kills him finally, at the tournament next year and we truly are free now after that. Only the new threat appears to Albus Dumbledore and the Order Of The Phoenix. Even after Potter destroys them all, he's convinced he won't be gone till Potter is dead, which to us."
"Says he wants to eliminate his competition, because there is no reason to reform now, Potter will send the next interview in two weeks time, thank you.'." she read out and Sirius smiled and nodded gently. "All true, that's exactly what happened, after realizing what happened, when I'm going to get groceries, I been living with James. And since Harry was born, a chance to be normal that night, she took Harry trick or treating, I was going shopping."
"Came back and saw the mark hanging over my brother's house, and praying I was wrong, went to investigate, and saw James dead, before going to the nursery, and found Lilly." he said and Crouch nodded sternly. "Peter aborted his sister, Lilly was pregnant a second time, 8 months along, she was due after Thanksgiving." Sirius said and Petunia sat down sadly. "Find that rat, find him and bring him in." Vernon said sternly and Sirius nodded sternly to the orders firmly.
