Chapter Two.
Couple of days after the trip to Diagon Alley, a couple of men arrived at the house. One had extremely wild black hair and one was old looking. The chime was rung as Vernon yelled for Dudley to get it only to hear it ring again.
"Yes?" snapped Vernon, as he glared at the two strange looking men.
The man with the wild black hair asked, "Is this the Dursley's residence?"
"Yes it is." Vernon said wondering who these two men were.
"My name is Sirius Black and this is Remus Lupin. We're friends of James and Lily Potter. We saw your ad in the Daily Prophet and came immediately," said Sirius Black.
Vernon peeked over Sirius's shoulder to see no vehicle on the street. "How did you get here? I do not see a car."
"We Apparated here...meaning we used magic to appear in front of your home," said Remus, just pushing his dusty looking jacket away enough to reveal the wand that was hanging off his belt.
Vernon nodded stiffly and asked, "Would you two gentlemen care to enter? So we may not arouse the suspicions of our neighbors."
They nodded and walked into the hallway. Both men followed Vernon into the living room and sat down on the couch.
"Petunia dear, bring three cups of tea out and tell our dear nephew that he has company," spoke Vernon as Petunia came around the corner to see the two men sitting on her couch with her husband sitting in a seat nearby.
Petunia only nodded as she vanished into the other room.
"So you two gents are friends of James and Lily Potter?" asked Vernon.
"Yes, we went to Hogwarts with them both. Very upstanding wizard and witch both were till Lord Voldemort slew them both and tried to kill Harry only to be destroyed by Harry's own magic. Your nephew is famous in our world for that act, Mr. Dursley." Sirius Black said.
"Voldemort, who is he?" asked Vernon. "And please call me Vernon."
"A dark wizard, someone who went very bad and killed anyone who stood in his way which included all Potters but save Harry who killed him bringing light to our world once again," said Remus.
"Harry is a very famous wizard, many of our people know his name and what he looks like," spoke Sirius.
Harry entered the room and froze when he saw Sirius sitting there. He thought he was seeing his father. "Dad?" Harry whispered in a low voice.
Sirius turned towards Harry and spoke, "No, Harry. I'm Sirius Black, your Godfather. One of your parents best friends."
"My Godfather?" asked Harry.
"Yes, Dumbledore and I both spoke about the Dursleys raising you till the time came for you to move out and come live with me. But I got into some Wizard trouble soon after my chat with Dumbledore and spent the last ten years fighting to be free," said Sirius.
"You mean you are a felon?" asked Vernon shocked.
"Was, but due of the death of a rat by the name of Scabbers revealed that the wizard I was blamed to have killed was alive instead of being dead so I was set free with a full apology and only last night did I have the talk with Dumbledore and found out that Harry was searching for family members so I came as fast as I could," said Sirius.
"So how do I know you are a family friend?" asked Harry looking at him. "You could easily be someone who wants to give me to Voldemort."
"Hagrid gave you some photos of your mom and dad. There's a photo of you sitting next to a black dog," said Sirius.
"I'll go get the book and see if there is a picture of me and a dog," spoke Harry as he hurried out of the room to his room to fling open his truck and dug around searching for his photo book. He finally found it and went downstairs. Harry sat down and flipped to the page that he remembered seeing a picture of a dog and himself as a baby. "Here it is!"
"That dog happens to be me," stated Sirius.
"No, that is impossible for a man to become a dog or is it?" asked Harry.
"It is possible if you happen to be an Animagi," spoke Sirius as he transformed into the dog.
Harry couldn't believe it there was the dog that was in the photograph. "Snuffles,"
Remus smiled as Sirius resumed his true form. "Snuffles...which happen to be the name you called me but James and Remus called me Padfoot."
"What is an Animagi?" asked Vernon.
"It is a wizard or witch who can transform themselves into an animal, Mr. Dursley," Remus said.
"Are you...an....Animagi?" asked Vernon looking at Remus.
"No, I'm what they call a dark creature in the wizard books – a werewolf," spoke Remus.
"A werewolf!" replied Vernon shocked as he leapt away from them and out of his chair, dumping the cup of tea onto the clean carpet.
"I'm not dangerous; I change into one each full moon and with the help of a potion called Wolfsbane, I'm able to keep my mind during the change. I, now, turn into a harmless wolf." Remus said as he looked towards Vernon.
"What are your ties to Harry?" asked Petunia, turning to look at both men. "I must be assured he will not come to any harm from you two."
"I am the legal Godfather of Harry. When we get back to our world, I'll formally adopt Harry as my son and raise him as my own per the orders of his parents." Sirius said, calmly.
"Then, we shall not waste anymore of your time here, Mr. Black. Harry, as much as you would probably like to stay, I feel you would do better living with your Godfather as he'll take better care of you than we really ever could. You been a great nephew and hurry up the stairs and start packing," said Vernon.
Harry couldn't believe his ears; Vernon was actually telling him to go pack. "Thanks Uncle Vernon." He went rushing up the stairs.
"I'll go help him," Sirius said, as he raced after Harry.
"Sirius loved that boy when he was a baby. He would actually guard him at night and make sure that no one would hurt him. I appreciate your family taking care of him for this long. I just never dreamed we would have him come live with us," said Remus.
Vernon turned to Remus and coughed out the words, "You mean you and him are gay lovers?"
"No, he's my best friend. We are roommates in the same house. It's a cheap way to get a house that is big enough for a growing teenager and be able to have his friends over without having his friends sleep on couches and the floor." Remus said.
Upstairs in Harry's bedroom, Sirius was shocked by how sparse his room was compared to what he saw of Dudley's room. Harry was quickly rushing towards his closet to grab his clothes that he bought in the 'Wizardry world' and some clothes that he had from school like his Quidditch robes and his school robes and put them within his trunk. Sirius waved his wand and reduced the trunk to pocket size. Sirius grinned as he picked it up and pocketed it.
"I love using that spell on my trunk when I graduated from school. It made carrying it around so much easier," said Sirius.
"But Sirius, won't I get into trouble for what you just did? I can't use magic out of school," said Harry, fearing that he'll be either expelled from Hogwarts.
"Nah, I informed the Ministry that I was coming over today and collecting you and there will be magic appearing here as I need to collect your things without driving one of those cars that the muggles use to get here. They exempted the use of magic today. But when you get to my home, which will change you will not be able to use magic till September 1st." Sirius said, as they finished off cleaning what Harry had owned from the room.
They came down from Harry's room and into the living room where Remus thanked Vernon for all that he did for Harry. Vernon and his family watched as the three wizards walked out of their home and down the street then vanished from sight.
"Good riddance I say of the whole lot. Dudley, that's your room again." Vernon said. Dudley smiled.
Stay tuned, the next chapter is coming.
