Leo's Pov, 

Some Day's Later, 

It was Harry's Birthday yesterday, and I send him these new goggles for Quidditch, I want to be able to play all matches this year! I've had a great time with Newt and Tina but they had to return back to America again, he even told me about the Kelpie he had and rode! I showed him Buck the Unicorn and well there are more people with unicorns.... and it's not the same as a Kelpie but it's still a wild creature! Basil and Fluffy love their new homes and Hagrid shed a tear when he saw the homes for them. Ron is in Egypt with his family after his father won this 700 galleons prize and Hermione with her family is in France, so I hope that they are having a great time but I bet they have. Like the photo of Ron made me laugh he looked so stupid in it with that rat of his. 

"You uhm wanted to talk Grandfather?" I ask the man who sits on his office chair while I pet Fawkes. "Yes, please sit Leo." He says as he motions at the chair opposite him and I plop down in the chair. 

"How are you feeling? Godric says you've been training hard." He says and I shrug my shoulders, I do spent a lot of time in the training room and go over spells....... I just don't ever want to feel as helpless as I did those months in the Chamber of Secrets, the bed is to soft, I still dream of being there calling for help, crying myself to sleep or begging Ginny to let me go. 

"Leo?" 

"I uhm I'm fine grandfather, it's just I don't wish to do nothing all summer it helps to clear my mind." I state and the older man nods his head in understanding. "Sometimes it's good to clear the mind, it can also help to speak about what clouds it. It's been a hard year for you Leonidas, things happened to you that I wish we could have kept you save from." He speaks as I lean back into the chair and start to play with the hem of my shirt as my eyes are fixated on the black fabric right now. 

"Talking won't change what happened I-I just want to forget it oke?" 

"You'll never forget it, take it from a old man who wished he could change many things and forget things........... the only thing you can do is learn how to live with it, find a way to accept it..... that sometimes is the hardest thing a person can do it may be even harder than forgive your greatest enemy." He says making me sigh as I look up at him through my eyelashes. 

"You've summoned me here for more than just ask me that?" I say and he nods his head as he grabs the Daily Prophet. "Measurements are being made Leonidas..... but I thought it would be better if you heard from me than anyone else." He says as he lays the paper down in front of me and my eyes soon widen as I look at the picture of the screaming man on the front page with the words Escape from Azkaban. N-nooo..... he escaped?!

"Le-" 

"Don't... if he comes here.... if he tries to touch me or Harry I will make Azkaban see like a mercy to him." I bite his way before practically storming out of the office. 

....................

Sirius Black's Pov. 

Walking through the Forbidden Forest I can't stop but inhale the smell, the smell of freedom. P-peter he's alive... he was the who betrayed Lilly and James.... he's the reason they are all dead and I got locked up away from my son..... that I couldn't go to the funeral of my friends, of my wife. They are in danger Leonidas and Harry, they are in danger Peters alive and in Hogwarts. I-if I find him..... if I can show that he was the one who betrayed them.... that he killed those muggles than maybe I can... I can have my son back. 

Hearing a loud scream that I think pierces all the ears of the creatures of the Forbidden Forest my paws seem to just move in the direction of where the sound came from. Passing a tree soon a rock the size of a bus blows up into a million of pieces as a boy stands there.... a boy with black curling hair, muscular but lean but no older than 14 with tears in his eyes as he falls down on his knees making me look around for any creatures or people around but so far nothing? 

Releasing a whimper the boy's angry eyes snap in my direction before they soften. "I-I forgive me I didn't wish to scare you." He softly says as he wipes the tears away or well tries they just seem to keep coming and coming as he sits down on the ground and pulls his knees towards his chest. Making me walk over to him before laying down next to the emotional boy. 

"First bloody year here have fun your teacher has the dark lord on the back of his head..... bloody second year here have the Heir of Slytherin who's ow by the way kidnaps you and shoves you into the chamber of secrets for months...... the third year hasn't even started yet and now the bloody man escaped!" He almost yells in frustration? He means me? 

"I've never seen you around here." He mumbles after a couple of minutes as his hand moves through my fur and he seems to have calmed down a bit. And I haven't been in these woods for a very long time, I haven't been out in the world for 12 years. 12 years away from my son, framed for something I did not do. 

"Where the north wind meets the sea

There's a river full of memory
Sleep, my darling, safe and sound

For in this river all is found" He starts to sing and my head snaps into the boys direction as my eyes widen..... it's him? It's my boy..... my son? My Leonidas? 

"In her waters, deep and true

Lie the answers and a path for you
Dive down deep into her sound
But not too far or you'll be drowned

Yes, she will sing to those who'll hear
And in her song, all magic flows
But can you brave what you most fear?
Can you face what the river knows?" He softly sings the lullaby me and Emily used to sing for him with tears running down his face before a large black wolf emerges from the trees and runs over to the Leonidas as I protectively move to stand in front of the boy as I show my teeth and growl at the wolf. 

"It's alright, t-this is Dawn she's my friend." He softly says as his hand moves through my fur before he moves in front of the wolf and pulls her into a hug as she wraps pulls him closer with her head on his back while her piercing yellow eyes bore into my eyes. "He's out Dawn......... he found a way out." He whispers to the wolf as he holds her large face now with both hands as I look down in shame. 

"If he finds me...... if he finds us I will kill him for what he's done." He whispers to the wolf making me close my eyes before turning around and slowly starting to walk away, he hates me..... how can he not he learned that I chose to go after Peter instead of staying with him and being there. 

Peter will pay for this, with his life..... he'll wish for a merciful dead and it will not be granted I've waited 12 years to see my son again and now the small child who I remember flying around the house for hours on his small broom is turning into a young man...... one who's been through to much, one who hates his father. 

"Hey uhm if you ever feel lonely I'm pretty much around here quite often, just stay away from the spiders...... and well there are centaurs? Foxes, deers, unicorns, mooncalves, wolves just be safe alright." Leonidas calls out to me and I turn my head around to look at him before he takes a deep breath. 

"Come on before Mother has both of our skins for wandering off again." He says as he runs back towards the castle with the wolf beside him while I wait until his footsteps are gone before changing back as tears leave my eyes as I cradle my body back and forward as just the thought of him hating me is.... it's to much.
