Chapter 12: Why me?

Sheila's P.O.V

The figure standing the doorway had his cloak up and was soaked. The person looked up and all I could see was a shadow of his face. I decided to be on my guard and apparate behind him.
As I apparated behind the stranger, I heard Lily gasp as the others held their wands up to the intruder.

"Who are you?" The stranger said pointing his wand at Harry.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my home?" James asked.

"Whats wrong with you James? Its me Sirius." The guy pulled his hood down.

"Tell me something only I would know, If you are in fact who you say you are." James demanded.

"Lily's dad told you man to man, that if you ever hurt his little girl that he would stick your own wand up your arse." Sirius said.

"Padfoot, what was with all the banging coming in, we thought you were a deatheater?" James asked, Putting away his wand.

"Someone left there shoes right in the flipping doorway and I tripped over them and then landed on the side table and then knocked over the lamp. Sorry but its dangerous in this house." Sirius said while rubbing his shoulder.

"Sorry about the shoes. My moma always made me put my shows by the door when I came in so I wouldnt get the floors muddy." I said looking apologetic.

"So, who are you people?" Sirius asked to our group, ignoring my apology and looking around at us.

All of us looked around to see who would try to explain this group of misfits. James decided to step to Sirius and take him by the shoulder and steer him to the couch. "Well Pad foot it's a long story and you better sit down for this, because it's a doozy."

"Quit beating around the bush Prongs and let me in on this." Sirius demanded in visible excitement.

"Let us all sit down and our newcomers can explain, they know more than I do" James said as we all sit down around Sirius.

Hermione held hands with Harry as she began to tell the tale. As soon as she was done, leaving out the part where Sirius dies, Sirius looks at all of us like he thinks its a big joke.

"Okay James how much did you pay these people to try to come here and trick me? Its a good joke but you shouldn't have payed more than two galleons worth for that performance. Mate, I think you got screwed." Sirius started laughing.

"Sirius, we are serious." Lily said determined to get Sirius to stop laughing.

Sirius cracked up even more since Lily said his name along with serious in one sentence.

He was beyond coherent. Lily was exasperated and James couldnt help but laugh along with Sirius even if everything was true.

The rest of us were getting irritated. I pulled out my wand and decided to use a spell to make Sirius stop laughing. "Potrificus totalus" and he automatically froze up and shut up.

"Thank you Sheila" Lily said.

"No problem ma'am" I replied.

"Okay so now that you have shut up Sirius, we are not playing a joke. Harry, my son and your godson, along with his friends are here to help us." Lily said sternly.

"Sheila, kindly take the spell off." Lily said to me.

I did as I was told and Sirius sat up and was somber. "So this isnt a joke?" Sirius asked.

We all shook our heads no.

Sirius' s POV

I must be dreaming. Thats what it is. A dream. It has to be. I looked down at my arm and pinched my self. "ouch" I mumbled. "Well I suppose this isnt a dream." I looked at James hoping he would say gotcha. But his looked told me different.

"Okay, so what's the plan? Apparently, my best friend and his wife die in a few nights. I go to Azkaban for 12 years because Pettigrew betrays all of us and I want to kill him but I didnt get the pleasure because he faked his death and kills a bunch of innocent muggles in the process. My only Godson is raised by the worse kind of muggles. I dont get cleared of murder charges till after I die. Thanks alot Fudge for being thick. We have got to do something." I growled anxiously.

"We plan on it, Sirius." Harry said.

The girl that was hanging on to Harry's hand filled me in on what they were planning on doing.

"Okay so first things first, you kids need to go ahead and atleast eat a few sandwiches and then get some rest before the long journey ahead of you." Lily demanded looking cross daring anyone to contradict her.

"Yes mum." Harry said with a smile as everyone got up from where they were seated and walked toward the kitchen.

James, Lily, and I remained sitting. "Where is my baby Godson Harry at?" I asked looking at Lily.

" He is upstairs asleep." She replied with tears in her eyes.

"Everything will work out Lilyflower. I think those kids in there are smart especially that Hermione." James said as he hugged is wife.

"Can we really trust that Malfoy kid though? Look who his father is?" I asked James in concern.

"Well we trust you Padfoot and look who your parents are?" James retorted with a grin.

"Touche Prongs. Touche. I guess we shall see or not." I replied.
