The Return of Sirius Black

After the attack

Sorry for taking so long. I think I owe you a long chapter. Here is is, hope you like it!

Harry’s POV

After we came to hogwarts, from the Weasleys, we went to Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore sat at his desk, and Sirius and I across from him. Kingsley had left to go and let the rest of the Order know that there had been an attack. When I looked into Dumbledore’s eyes, I knew he was not happy, because that sparkling glint in his eye was gone, and he looked so very serious. “So,” he said, speaking so quietly it sounded like a whisper, “We need to find out how the Malfoy’s knew were at the Weasleys, and we also need to talk about Voldemort.” All of the Weasleys flinched, but Sirius and I looked untouched. I was definitely used to the name, because I never called him anything other than Voldemort, not You-know-Who, or anything else. “Well Professor, I had a dream last night, and Bellatrix Lestrange told Voldemort that Sirius was alive again. She said that she overheard you telling me.” Dumbledore looked confused, a look that I rarely see on him. “I don’t know how Bellatrix was able to come in and eavesdrop on us, because I think that I would have noticed her there.” I was also thinking that same thing. How could she have done that? Sirius then looked as if he knew something and started to speak. “Did any of you know that she was an illegal Animagus? She didn’t tell anyone, but one day, before she was a death eater, I walked in on her, and she was in Animagus form.” I was thinking about what her form would be, when Dumbledore voiced my thoughts. “What is the form that her animagus takes, Sirius?” He then responded with “ Her form is a bird, a small bird that looks as if it is skin and bone. That is why she loves that necklace that she wears so much.” I then thought about Malfoy again. “Then how do we think that Malfoy knew I was at the Weasleys?” I asked. No one seemed to know why. That really was the question. “I think that I will ask Kingsley, and see if he knows anything. I don’t really know how the Malfoys and the other death eater got into hogwarts, especially into the Room of Requirements. I really don’t know where you will be able to stay. I am not sure if the Weasleys house is safe to stay or not.” Dumbledore told us. I was thinking the same thing. The Room of Requirements was not safe anymore, and I don’t think that the Weasleys house was safe either. Soon Sirius looked up and said, “ Well, we could all stay at 12 Grimmauld place. When I died, I gave it to Harry, so we are still able to enter it.” So the Weasleys, Sirius and I, along with Moony headed to 12 Grimmauld Place.

Sirius Black POV

I feels so weird. Feels so weird to be back to Grimmauld. Yes, I do have some happy memories here, but not many. Most of them are of growing up, with my abusive parents, who thought I was a disgrace. I just have to think about the happy things, and about Harry. Yes, think about Harry, how he came here, during one of the OoTP meetings, and.. “Sirius? Are you okay?” Harry asked me. I must have been zoning out. “Yeah, I’m okay pup. I just don’t like grimmauld place very much. There are some pretty bad memories there.” Harry looked at me in a knowing look. I don’t like it at he knows what I went through, but at least I am here for him now. “Alright, lets get the sleep arrangements ready. Harry, you will share with Ron, and the twins. Ginny, you will be staying in your own room. Molly you of course will stay with Arthur, and Moony, you can sleep in my room. And don’t worry, I will be on the couch.” I added, when Moony looked at me funny. Of course he would take that the wrong way, that stupid old wolf. “Everyone off to bed!” Molly yelled. I then made sure that everyone was situated, and I layed down on the couch, and fell fast asleep.
