I'll never leave you (Harry Potter and Sirius Black fanfiction)

Untitled Part 11

CHAPTER 9

Harry woke up in his room at 3 p.m. He went down and got in the kitchen. The Order and the DA were sitting at the table, probably having a meeting.

"Oh, Harry!" Dumbledore said "Come in, sit down."

Harry sat next to Ron feeling uncomfortable. He could feel everyone's eyes staring at him.

"We were talking about you."

That was obvious to Harry's eyes.

"I think I know what happened with the snitch."

Harry looked at him, surprised.

"Really?"

"Yes. That was your father's snitch. Snitches have a touch memory. I think that this one is more sensible than others, so he absorbed part of your father's soul too. Your father knew you were in danger, so he saved you and the snitch became a portkey."

"But, Albus, isn't it like an horcrux?"

"No, it isn't. James never killed anyone, and horcruxes are a piece of very dark magic. You can't create one without being evil."

Harry looked at the snitch in Dumbledore's hands while he was explaining everyone what horcruxes were.

"Thanks God Sirius gave you this."

Harry returned the small smile on his godfather's lips.

"I'll thank him later." He thought.

The meeting went on for 3 hours. At the end, Molly went to make dinner while everyone was having some free time. Harry went to Sirius.

"Sirius… can I talk to you?"

"Of course you can, Prongslet."

"Sirius, I don't know how to thank you… I mean, I wouldn't be here without you. You saved my life."

"It's okay. You saved my life too, and I couldn't live without you, you know it."

He hugged him tight.

"Sirius, be careful, please. Voldemort's really angry because of the prophecy, I feel it. He wants to kill every one of us."

"I will. Don't worry."

"I'm scared, Sirius."

"I am too. But we have to fight. We'll win, because we have something that he doesn't have."

"What?"

"Love. I love you."

"I love you too, Sirius."

They hugged each other tight.

"We'll win, Harry. And we'll become a proper family, I promise."

They had a normal dinner, as usual. After that, everyone was tired, so left the room.

Harry went to bed. He tossed and turned. He couldn't fall asleep. He was thinking about something.

"Dumbledore said that horcruxes make somebody immortal… what if it's the same with the snitch and my father is alive?"

He knew he couldn't get asleep until he'd find the answer, so he got up. He headed down and found that there was still a light coming from the kitchen. He heard some words. It was Remus' voice. There were Sirius, Molly, Arthur and Dumbledore too.

"…I mean, now Harry's in a real danger. We have to look after him 24/7, and it still isn't enough."

"Should we do a Fidelius Charm on him?"

"I don't know… I just wish he could live a simpler life… Merlin, he reminds me so much of James… I wish he could be here…"

Harry got in the room. Everyone stared at him.

"Sorry." He mumbled.

"No, don't be sorry. Does something upset you?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes… I was thinking about the snitch. If there's part of my father's soul in it… does it mean we can bring him back here? Like with an horcrux?"

Everyone froze. Remus and Sirius stared at each other and Harry knew what they were thinking on. They wanted James back too.

"Harry… I don't know if it works… anyway, I don't think it's a good idea…"

"But why?"

"First, I don't want to bring James back without Lily. And then, even if it works, we'll have your farther at the age of 16."

"I don't care! Well, I'd be happy if you can bring my mum too, but if it isn't possible…"

"Harry, it's dangerous messing up with the past."

"But…"

Harry felt tears rising in his eyes. Sirius understood this and went to him to comfort him.

"Harry, you don't know how much I want your father to be here. But we can't. This is Voldemort's game and we aren't here to play it, but to play against it. Can you understand this?"

"No, I can't! I don't understand it!" Harry saw Sirius' face. "I… I'm sorry… it's just that I want my father to be here and I had this hope and…"

"Sssh, it's okay, we can understand it. Now just drink some hot milk and go to bed. You're tired."

Harry nodded and did as he was told. When he went to bed, he immediately fell asleep.
