Chapter 60: The Godfather
Harry pointed his wand at the paralyzed dog.
"Homorphus"
The dog started to transform and grow in size until it looked like a mid-thirties man with long black hair. He was also wearing the dirty rags that all Azkaban prisoners are given. It was clearly Sirius Black.
"Incarcerous"
Ropes appeared out of thin air and wrapped themselves around the man.
"Enervate"
Sirius suddenly started moving again and fighting against his restraints. He started looking around seemly confused until He saw Harry.
"H-Harry!"
He stopped struggling and tried to give Harry a smile but even that much seem to be difficult for him.
Harry sat down on a nearby couch, pointed his wand at the man and whispered something.
Sirius was startled for a moment when Harry pointed his wand at him, but calmed down when He realized what Harry was doing.
Sirus's body floated in the air for a bit before it landed softly on another couch, in front of Harry.
"This way we can talk like civilized people." Harry was talking calmly but his wand remained in his hand and pointed vaguely in Sirius's direction.
Sirius understood that Harry was not being openly hostile, but He was still being cautious.
He tried to smile again. "V-very g-good Harry. Y-you should never lower y-your guard, James would be proud." Sirius said with some difficulty.
"Everyones says that you are a very dangerous man, Mister Black. Those are some minor precautions compared to what the Ministry is doing." Harry said.
Sirius chucked. "Yes, I-i have seen the d-dementors. T-the Minister is an i-idiot."
"On that, we can agree. Now-" Harry stopped when He heard footsteps closing by.
Luna entered the room and saw Sirius sitting on one couch tied with ropes and Harry sitting on another couch with his wand out.
Her gaze was then fixed on Sirius as she got close.
Luna gasped "Oh no!, We broke into the house of Stubby Boarman!." She turned to Harry. "Harry!, what are we going to do now?!"
Sirius's eyebrows rose up and his mouth opened in bafflement, Harry did not react much, He was already used to Luna and her quirks.
Harry also noticed that even though She was acting silly, her wand was in her hand, and the shine on her eyes indicated that She was using her mage sight to spot any movement of magic on Sirius's part.
"Luna, come sit down and met Sirus Black." Harry tapped the seat next to him.
"Are you serious?" Luna acted very surprised.
"Yes, I am.!" Sirius chuckled, then started to cough painfully.
"Ahh, it hurts to laugh."
"Now then, I believe You were about to explain why were You following us. Were you planning on killing me, like everyone says You will do?" Harry asked nonchalantly.
Luna's gaze turned cold and griped the wand with more force.
Sirius was surprised by the quick change of attitude on the girl, but then He turned to Harry with a horrified expression.
"K-kill you? N-no, I-i would never hurt you, Harry. Y-you have to believe me. I n-never betrayed your parents. It was that b-bastard Peter Pettigrew!." Sirius's face seems to contort in rage at the mere mention of that name.
Of course, Harry knew that Sirius was no death eater, but since He is unable to explain that knowledge, He decided that is best to feign ignorance.
"Would you be willing to swear that on a magical oath?" Harry offered Sirius a way to probe himself.
"If I had a wand I-" Sirius stopped talking when he saw Harry stand up from his couch, walk right in front of him and place His wand in Sirius' hands.
"If you try anything, She will fire at You. And I taught her some nasty curses." Harry pointed at Luna.
Luna smiled at him, but Sirius knew that She was not joking.
"I swear on my life and magic that I did not betray the Potters to Voldemort, I never joined him, I never became a death eater and I would never bring harm on purpose to my godson Harry Potter, so mote be."
As soon as Sirius finished his oath, Harry made a move with his hand and the ropes that were binding Sirius disappeared, then with a flick of his fingers, the wand in Sirius's hand flew back into Harry's hands.
Sirius was baffled. "Y-you can do wandless magic?"
"I can do many things" Was Harry's only explanation.
"He really does!" Luna added.
Harry sat back down on the couch and looked at Sirius. "Now, the question is. What do You want to do."
Sirius was a bit taken aback by Harrys persnalty. He was so direct and composed for someone his age. He expected his godson to be more of a moody teen.
"I-i don't know. When i m-managed to escape Azkaban, I did not have any plan. Then i r-remember You and I just wanted to see my godson."
"Oh, that's sweet." Luna smiled at Sirius.
"Well, you cannot keep roaming around Hogwarts grounds. Is just a matter of time before someone finds you." Harrys pointed out.
"mmm, you are right. Sigh, maybe I should ask Dumbledore for help." Sirius said.
Harry's eyebrow twitched a bit at the thought of asking that old man for help.
He wanted to keep Sirius away from Dumbledore if possible. Sirius was his key to access the Black manor that contains his last Horcrux. There is also de bonus of the Black library that has many unique ancient tomes.
"I have a better idea. Lorry come here" Harry called.
Hogsmeade is outside Hogwarts wards so apparition is possible and elves can come and go as they please.
With a pop sound, Lorry appeared in front of Harry.
Sirius observed with curiosity the well-dressed elf, who seem to be wearing a butler suit. The elf also carried himself with dignity and kept his back straight at all times.
"Greetings master " Lorry gave a polite bow.
"That's your elf, Harry?. By Merlin, He is a thousand times better than Kreacher."
"Hi Lorry!." Luna waved at the elf.
"Greetings Miss" Lorry bowed to Luna in the same way He did to Harry.
"Lorry, this is Sirius Black, my godfather. I'm putting him in your care. Take him to the Potter manor and provide anything He needs. Do not disappoint me." Harry stared at his house elf.
"Of course Master." Lorry turned to Sirius. "Mister Black." He bowed to Sirius.
"What? the Potter manor? But wasn't it destroyed?." Sirius asked.
"It has been repaired. You will be safe there. The wards are new and very powerful. Which reminds me." He turned to Lorry. "Remember to pop Him outside the wards and add his name first. I do now want you to come back and inform me that my godfather has been blown up to bits by the wards." Harry told his elf.
"Should I be worried?" Sirius was unsure.
"Worry not Master." Lorry said with confidence.
"One more thing" Harry pulled a piece of paper out of his robes and gave it to Lorry.
"I need you to contact the person on that note. Just follow the instructions written there and You will be fine. "
This was the main reason for Harry wanting to come to Hogsmeade. It was the only way to directly contact his elf and give him that note without using Nagi.
Sirius and Luna looked at the exchange with curiosity about the contents of that note but did not say anything.
Harry told Sirius to not leave the house and that He will visit during the Christmas break.
And with a pop, Sirius and Lorry were gone from the shrieking shack.
