Yule break arrived, Harry and Rory came back from Hogwarts, and they were ready to spend time with their family. As always, we visited James. They have been telling us that James is making little progress, but they didn't want us to give us hopes.
We went back to the manor, since Sirius was out Azkaban, the five of us lived in Potter Manor, Sirius now has all the Black properties, but he was never fond of them. These days were really fun; we invited our friends with their kids to play Quidditch.
On yule, it was only the five of us. We exchanged gifts and had a nice dinner.
One of the days before Harry and Rory were going back to Hogwarts I caught Harry trying to find information in the family library.
"What are you looking for?" I asked him, he wasn't expecting anyone, so he did a little jump.
"Nothing" he answered immediately.
"Really?" I know he is looking for Nicholas Flamel, I didn't know how to bring the subject up, but if I could help it, he is not going to go to find the stone, and play 'Dumbledore's game'.
"Yeah" he wasn't looking at me, something I learned time ago he did when he was hiding something.
"I could help you..."
"You are going to get angry..." he whispered.
"And why is that?" I asked him. He didn't answer "well... I hope you find whatever you are looking for"
"Thanks, mom"
Harry and Rory were back to Hogwarts, a couple of weeks before the end of the year Sirius and I received an owl from McGonagall, telling us Harry was in the hospital wing. Sirius and I went immediately, with Alphie.
"What happened!?" demanded Sirius, once we were in the hospital.
"Sirius, my boy... nothing to worry about" said Dumbledore.
"We are going to be the ones to decide that!" I snapped at him "What happened?"
I already knew Dumbledore hated me, but he told us the whole story of how Harry, Neville and Hermione had the 'brilliant' idea to go after the stone, even though it was the forbidden corridor.
Harry woke up after a few minutes.
"Why?" I asked him.
"I'm sorry, mom. But I had to do it! I thought Snape wanted to steal it" said Harry.
"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Sirius. But Harry once again was in silence.
"We are going to have a long talk about unnecessary risks once you are back at home" I told him.
"And we will discuss your punishment" said Sirius.
"But daaad, that's not fair!" exclaimed Harry.
"Isn't it? If I recall correctly I told you to stay out of trouble" I told him "For now rest, you need to get better" I gave him a kiss on his forehead, Sirius did the same, and Alphie gave him a sympathetic look before leaving.
"I'm sorry" said Harry, looking at his lap.
"We know pup, we talk about it later" said Sirius.
