It was almost midnight Sunday, on the verge of Monday morning and Harry was sat nervously on the couch in Y/N and Hermione's lounge room with Hermione, who nursed Gizmo on her lap.

Harry had received an owl earlier in the day, and Y/N had not long apparated to meet his uncle.

"So, how are you feeling? Nervous I suppose" Hermione said sadly, quite worried for her friend.

"Packing it" Harry replied nervously. "Professors L/N and Moody have been a big help though. I've got a pretty solid plan, I think. How's Y/N?"

Hermione sighed and chuckled in one, replying honestly:

"You know my boyfriend. He isn't scared of anything. I would say quietly confident, but other than telling me what you told him about Dragons, thank you by the way, he won't say anything to me other than it's all in hand. Doesn't want to worry me I suppose."

She sniffled a little, Harry warmly rubbing her arm before they both jumped as an orange portal opened across the room. They smiled as Sirius stepped through, gasping as he looked around:

"You said Dumbledore had lived up to his word."

The smile on his face grew wider as he saw Harry and Hermione, both standing as he approached.

Harry was so relieved, the last time he had seen Sirius his face had been so gaunt and sunken, but now he was healthy and robust, and looked remarkably younger

Harry was so relieved, the last time he had seen Sirius his face had been so gaunt and sunken, but now he was healthy and robust, and looked remarkably younger.

Harry was on him in a moment, the two meeting in a warm embrace.

"My godson" Sirius said happily, Hermione laying a sleeping Gizmo on the couch and then giving Sirius a just as warm hug as he said again happily "my niece-in-law" just as Y/N apparated into the room.

"It's all sorted?" Hermione asked worriedly after releasing the hug, Sirius smiling and opening his mouth to respond before he was cut off by Y/N:

"Yeah, I'll be taking him to the Hog's Head. Aberforth is keeping a room as long as he needs it, your board and food are provided and Aberforth will be delivering meals to your room personally" Y/N said firmly to his uncle.

"Where were you?" Harry asked, Y/N again interrupting:

"He was living in a cave and stealing food. It's lucky I had one of my best people trailing you as soon as you left the manor. Fortunately Aberforth is an ally of the cause."

"What cause?" Harry asked puzzled, Y/N replying with a cheeky smirk "My cause, Harry."

"So Harry, Y/N tells me you didn't put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" Sirius asked with concern. Harry shook his head.

"And tell me about this dream of yours. You mentioned Wormtail and Voldemort. But who was the third man in the room?"

"Dream- wait what dream?" Y/N asked angrily.
