-31th August, 1995, present day-

Today, Harry and the others were leaving for Hogwarts. Harry was now going into his fifth year. I was definitely going to miss having him around. He was very pleasant company and I enjoyed speaking to him about James, as did Evie about Lily. The Order meetings were getting more serious too. Harry hugged me goodbye, what he didn't know was that I was going to escort him to King's Cross. Mad-Eye was going be so cross with me, I was still wanted so I wasn't allowed to leave the house at all you see. I wanted to see my godson off. I didn't care if he didn't like it.

Mad-Eye and Tonks walked with Harry through crowds of people at King's Cross, while getting weird looks as Mad-Eye had his false eye and Tonks had her bright purple hair.  I snuck past them in my Animagus form and barked at them. "Padfoot? Are you barking mad? You'll blow your cover!" Mad-Eye complained. Tonks smirked and Harry turned around and watched me patter down the steps to transform into my human form. Harry followed me inside a small room looking panicked.

"Sirius? What are you doing here? If someone sees you..." Harry asked, worry clearly audible in his voice. "I wanted to see you off. But besides, what's a good life without a little risk?" I answered. Harry smiled and sat beside me as Mad-Eye guided the door. "I just don't want you put in Azkaban." Harry admitted. I put my arm around his shoulder. "Don't worry about me. Anyway, I want to show you this." I said before pulling out a photo from my ripped black pocket. I opened it up to show him. "This is the original Order of The Phoenix, Harry. There I am with your parents and Evie at the front." I beamed. Harry took it from me and smiled and started to ask me who some of the people were. "Fabian and Gideon Prewett, Mrs Weasley's brothers, they were killed by a group of six Death Eaters led by Antonin Dolohov . Caradoc Dearborn disappeared, the Bones family including Edgar was almost completely destroyed, Benjy Fenwick, he was brutally murdered, and MarleneMcKinnon and her family were killed by Death Eaters." I informed him.

Harry pointed at the happy couple at the front and asked who they were. "Frank and Alice Longbottom." I told him. "Neville's parents." He stated. I nodded.

"What happened to them?" Harry wondered.

"They faced a fate worse than death I feel. I should not tell you, Neville should be the one to do that. They were very highly respected aurors, Alice was one of your mother's best friends along with Evie." I explained. Harry nodded interestingly.

"Do you think there's going to be a war Sirius?" Harry questioned.

"Yes, it feels like it did before." I confessed honestly. Harry went to give me back the picture when I refused. "You keep it. I'll see you soon okay? Keep in touch." I grinned as Mad-Eye signalled that Harry had to leave. He pulled me in a hug before leaving me.
