Sirius picked Harry up on Platform Nine and Three Quarters and took him to their new home via Side Along Apparition.

They landed smack dab in the middle of a hallway and Sirius said quickly, "Pup, just to warn you right up front before you see the house, I have bought us a house without windows."

"OH!" realized Harry a nanosecond later, "You've bought us a windowless house because I will need to practice magic at home during the summer and we can't afford to attract muggle attention."

"Actually," smiled Sirius, "We are in an all wizarding village. My concern is not muggles, but the Ministry. Madam Bones might be willing to give you permission to practice magic at home this summer despite being underage owing to your circumstances. But Fudge will do his nut if finds out ANY underage magic has been performed for any reason. But the spells the Ministry uses to detect underage magic enter houses and buildings by penetrating windows. If a house or building is free of windows, the Ministry cannot detect underage magic there."

"That makes sense, " said Harry matter of factly, "Are there any major house rules here?"

"My number one rule for you whilst I am your guardian is that under NO circumstances are you to have sex. Sex is a sin, and if I find out whist I am your guardian that you have had sex, it will mean multiple rounds of the hardest corporal punishment I can dish out, " said Sirius in a polite but clear voice.

"You said we live in an all wizarding village. Do we now live in Hogsmeade?" asked Harry.

"No, " said Sirius calmly, "We actually now live in Godric's Hollow."

"Do you mean?" asked Harry breathlessly, "The village that my parents lived in?"

"Yes, Harry, " said Sirius seriously, "The Potters had actually lived in Godric's Hollow for hundreds of years before James and Lily died. I want to give you the opportunity to continue that legacy."

A sudden though struck Harry.

"I know my parents' house was destroyed, " said Harry matter of factly, "But is it possible that this house was rebuilt on that same land?"

"No, " said Sirius quietly, "The house your parents lived in has been intentionally left in its ruined state as a memorial to James and Lily. You will learn more about that later this month. I also plan to take you to see your parents graves later this month. Seeing these things will be hard and emotional for you, but I believe you need to see them."

Harry sat quietly for a minute and a nanosecond before moving on to ask, "If I'm going to being practicing magic this summer, then you're going to be giving me some instruction, right?"

"Yes, " said Sirius at once, "And be warned that, while I don't believe in yelling, I will be more critical than complementary. If you get something 99% right, I will focus on the 1% you got wrong until you can get it 100% right."

"That's absolutely necessary, " agreed Harry, "Because how will you learn otherwise. I disapprove of yelling as well, but we also need to get away from the culture of patting people on the back all the time. We need to learn that truth is more important than tact, that facts are more important than feelings, and that straight forwardness is more important than sensitivity."

"I couldn't have said it better myself, " said Sirius approvingly as he felt relieved to hear that Harry was completely open to taking criticism.

After a short pause, Sirius said, "Harry, I promised you would have new clothes waiting for you when you got home and I'm a man of my word. Follow me."

Harry followed Sirius to a room with a nameplate on top with Harry engraved into it.

The door was open, so Harry and Sirius wandered into it.

Towards the south end of the room was Harry's bed, which was adorned with scarlet bedsheets and a scarlet pillowcase. On top of the bed sat a heap of new clothing.

There were tee shirts of various colors: red, green, yellow, blue, orange, purple, scarlet, hot pink. and white. There were also piles of shorts, jeans, and pajamas as well as a few pairs of brand new socks, shoes, and slippers.

"Wow, " said Harry as he looked through the clothes on his bed, "They all look really nice."

"I sent my family of house elves out to buy them. I own not one house elf here, but a family of four. Their names are Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde and you will be meeting them soon. You can try out your new pajamas and slippers tonight and tomorrow you can try out a new tee shirt. I recommend you wear shorts tomorrow. On an unrelated note, we're getting right into things tomorrow morning. I have scheduled a 10 A.M. eye exam for you tomorrow morning."

"Getting to business right away, " said Harry.

"Yes, " said Sirius, "Staring tomorrow. But for now, I'm hungry and I'm sure you are too. I had the house elves made a big spicy chicken dinner for us."

Sirius led Harry to the dining room where there was a black table with several brown chairs around it. At two of the places sat plates piled with three large boneless spicy white meat chicken breasts along with sides of mashed potatoes, corn, and rice. Two glasses of Coca Cola Classic were set beside the plates.

"Dig in, Harry." said Sirius.

And Harry and Sirius eagerly ate their chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and rice and sipped their Coca Cola Classics as they enjoyed each other's company without even needing to talk much.

Godfather and godson had been truly reunited and a Potter had come home to Godric's Hollow. That's what mattered.
