The shield came down and everyone rushed to check on Mrs Weasley. Once she was proven to be ok, they all looked at Harry. His eyes were dead to the rest of the world as he just stared at his hands. |
George had finished healing his mother’s windpipe, when she stood and faced her husband. "Do you see now? Do you see now what Sirius has turned him into? He could’ve killed me!" She tried to yell, but her voice is still sore. |
"Arthur. I revoke my offer of sanctuary. You and your family are no longer welcome here. Please remove yourself, your wife, and youngest children from my home. Now." Sirius looked the Weasley Patriarch in the eye. |
"I’m truly sorry about this Sirius. Come along Molly. Children let’s go pack and head back to the Burrow." |
"But Arthur..." Molly protested. |
"NO! You were fully aware of his past with his abusive family and you made to strike him! It’s been said before, but you don’t listen. YOU. ARE. NOT. HIS. MOTHER! And now because of your carelessness, you have compromised the family’s safety with your temper. Now go pack." Arthur was furious. |
"No." Harry said quietly. |
"Harry. She..." Sirius started. |
"I know what she did dad. I was there. Yes the...woman was going to slap me, but I overreacted. Seeing her hand ready to hit me took me back to the bad place; the Dursleys." Harry looked up at Mr. Weasley. |
"The world is a dangerous place right now, and your home is too well known. You are safer here, until we can fortify the Burrow. Ron was the first friend that I made that was my age and I would never forgive myself if something happened to him. And for some unknown reason, Fred and George still love their mother." |
Mr. Weasley looked to Sirius. Sirius sighed but nodded. |
"Thank you Har..." Mr Weasley began. |
Harry looked at him with a coldness that nearly made him jump out of his skin, and then he turned that look on Molly. |
"I shouldn’t have choked you. You were right. With that hold I could’ve ended your life. But the next time you raise your hand to me, I will hit you back. Am I clear?" |
Molly had the decency to look ashamed. "Yes." |
Harry turned to leave, but then paused. "You should be thankful that Fred and George were here. They saved your life today." Harry said over his shoulder and continued walking out of the kitchen. |
Arthur cleared his throat. "Right then. We need to have a family meeting. Sirius may we use one of your sitting rooms on the first floor?" at Sirius’ nod he said his thanks, grabbed Molly’s arm, and ordered his children to follow him. |
Sirius slumped down in his chair and put his head in his hands. He felt a hand grasp him gently under his elbow and pull him up and out of the room. He was led into the formal dinning room, and he heard the door close behind him. Once he heard the click he dropped to his knees and started sobbing. |
Andromeda held and rocked her cousin saying soothing words of comfort until he had calmed down. She produced a handkerchief and allowed Sirius to clean himself up. |
Sirius looked up to see Andi smiling sadly down at him. |
"How did you know?" He asked as she stroked his hair. |
"Hermione floo called me. We are having lessons today, and she knew that I was not working." She stood and held out her hand. "Come. We are both a little too old to be sitting like this on the floor." |
He took her hand as she led him into the formal parlor that was next to the formal dinning room. They sat down on a couch and Sirius put his feet up and his head in her lap. They sat in silence for a long time, as Andi hummed and stroked his hair. At some point Kreacher had come in to light a fire, and leave some sandw... |
Sirius was the first to speak. "Some Lord Black huh?" |
She tapped him on the head. "You are a fine Lord Black Siri, but you are also a parent and that should always come first." |
"I almost lost him Andi. I could see the want to kill her in his eyes." |
Andromeda sat Sirius up and grasped both sides of his head firmly, and looked into his eyes. "But you didn’t. He didn’t. That’s all that matters." |
"You’re right of course." Sirius sighed as he absently ate one of the sandwiches that Kreacher had left. "Thank you Andi. I appreciate you getting me out of there before I started blubbering like a baby in front of the Grangers." |
"Any time Siri. Let’s find Harry and see how he’s doing now that he has calmed down." |
Sirius nodded and called for Kreatcher. |
"Yes Lord Black?" |
"Where is my Heir?" |
"Heir Black is currently sleeping in his quarters. Shall I be waking him?" |
"No. I will go to him thank you." He turned to Andromeda. "Mind giving him a once over, just in case?" |
"Of course my Lord."Andromeda placed her hand in the crook of his elbow. |
They made their way to Harry’s room, knocked then entered. Harry was sprawled fully dressed with his shoes still laced on top of the blankets. Sirius watched as Andromeda waved her wand and smiled at the results. |
"He’s just tired. Remarkably his core was not depleted, given the amount of power he showed. Let’s get him into something more comfortable and let him rest." They did just that and Andi took her leave. Sirius got comfortable on the other side of the bed with a journal he had summoned and began to read. |

Harry started to slowly wake up from his sleep. The first thing he realized was Sirius reading a book in bed next to him. The second thing that he realized, was HOLY SHIT HE ALMOST KILLED MRS WEASLEY!! |
"Calm down pup. Everyone is alright. Calm down." Sirius soothed as he held his godson in his arms. After a while, Harry calmed down and looked to his godfather. |
"Are you...mad at me Siri?" |
"I’m...worried, but not mad. You need help pup. The question I do want to ask you is how long has it been since you’ve meditated?" |
There was a knock at the door, and George and Fred strolled in like they owned the place, and sat down next to Harry on the large bed. The both of them wanted to know the answer to that question as well. |
"Well Harry?" Sirius pressed. |
Harry mumbled into Sirius’ chest. Sirius placed his finger under his chin and lifted his head so that he was forced to look at him. "Try again." |
Harry sighed. "Before we left California." |
"I see." You could feel the disappointment coming from Sirius. "Harry. I’m not happy with you, but I want you to know that I still love you. But there is a reason why you were told to meditate often. You are a very powerful wizard Harry, and if you lose control of your magic devastating things can happen to either your... |
"I know." Harry sighed. "It’s just that everything was so exciting! It was my first ever vacation, and nothing bad was happening so I just figured it wasn’t that important." |
"That is probably the best time to clear your mind and meditate Harry. Uncle Caleb said it helps build up defences when you have good memories to help you de-stress. It also helps you to remember what you’re fighting for." Fred stroked his hair. |
"Harry. I want you to spend the rest of the day until dinner, meditating and building up your shields once again. Then after that, I want you to write in your two way journal to Cara about what happened...alright?" |
Harry nodded to Sirius and then looked to Fred and George. "Guess I’ll see you both at dinner then." |
Fred and George kissed either side of his cheek, stood and made their way to the door with Sirius. |
"Hey. We’ll talk later about, what happened alright?" Harry said to his boyfriends. |
"Of course. Now get to meditating." George smiled and walked out of the door. |

Sirius was waiting outside of Harry’s room for the twins. "Join me in my personal lounge?" The two young men nodded and followed Sirius to a nicely decorated lounge. There was a comfortable looking couch and two black leather chairs in the room. Along with a large fireplace that roared to life upon Sirius’ entry, and a... |
Sirius sat in one of the black leather chairs and motioned for the twins to take the couch across from him. He poured each of them a small brandy from the table next to his chair, and passed two to the boys. |
"So how are the two of you doing?" |
Fred took a sip and answered first. "I don’t know really. Our mother..." |
"...was wrong, but..." |
"She’s still our mother." |
"Are you angry with Harry, George? He’s in love with you both, but I think he is more likely to be submissive to you, as you can tell when you yelled at him earlier." Sirius asked. |
"No. Just disappointed at him for not meditating, and the fact that I didn’t notice." |
"None of us did brother. You can’t blame yourself. We just need to learn from this and move forward." |
"Fred is right. I think we all were so caught up in the experience of being away from this conflict at home and having fun that we all forgot. I will need you to stay on him at Hogwarts though. If he keeps at it consistently for a while longer he should have complete control over his magic and emotions." |
"We’ll keep an eye on him." The brothers said together. |
"Next topic. How was the family meeting?" |
"We can’t talk about it..." |
"...Family rules." |
"Understood. Family." Sirius nodded. The Black family meetings could be brutal. "So. Spar?" |
They all laughed as they stood and headed to the gym. The brandy sat there on the table, mostly untouched. |

Kreatcher had popped into Harry’s room to announce that dinner would be served soon. Harry thanked him as he continued to get dressed after the long shower that he had taken. |
When Harry had first got himself into the meditative state that he needed to be in he was shocked! His mindscape was a disaster! He spent the first few hours building it back up, then a few more hours rebuilding the defences. He was still vulnerable, but it was a good start. He vowed to meditate daily to strengthen the... |
There was a knock at the door. |
"Hey mate. You alright?" Ron asked. |
"You had us worried." Hermione said. |
Harry walked over to his two best friends, and embraced them. They stood that way for a moment and then Harry released them. |
"I’m fine guys. And I will tell you about my summer after I’ve written to my therapist about what happened today after dinner alright? Gods above I’ve missed you two! Let’s go eat. I’m starving." |
Ron and Hermione looked at each other, and decided to follow Harry out of the door. |
Down at the dinner table, things were tense, but Harry just kept the conversation going as he had learned in his lessons, while he ate. |
"May I have your attention please?" Sirius said from the head of the table. |
"In honor of the young people returning to school, I have decided to take everyone to an amusement park for the last summer bash if you will!" Sirius squealed. All of the returning students cheered. |
"Also in honour of Fred, Harry, and George’s test scores that they worked so hard on, I would like to give a toast." Sirius stood as did everyone else at the table. |
"To three of the strongest, most brave young men that I have ever met. May the Goddess bless you in all that you do. I know we will see great things from you. To Fred, George, and Harry!" |
Everyone repeated the toast. |
Sirius took a sip of his wine, while he watched everyone take a sip from whatever they were drinking. He made sure Harry had not one sip of alcohol. Drunk Harry was one time too many thank you very much. |
"Now. Due to security reasons, we are leaving very early in the morning. Not only that, no owls will be able to leave or come through. It’s now seven o’clock, I suggest we get to bed soon. Only worry about what you will wear tomorrow, the shopping is on me when we get there!" Sirius clapped his hands in glee, like a fi... |
Lord Black held up his hand. "Harry has dismissed it, and so will I. This time. But this is not about that. Harry really wants the day to go well tomorrow, and I don’t want any conflict for whatever reason. He wants to have fun with his friends. Will you allow that?" |
"Of course." Molly nodded. |
Sirius nodded. "Then we are done here." Sirius made to stand and walked to the door. As he grasped the handle, he heard her call his name. |
"You are good for him. I see that now. It’s just hard you know?" |
Sirius didn’t even look back as he said. "We are good for each other." And he walked out. |

Harry, Hermione, and Ron were sitting on the floor in Harry’s room in front of the fire after dinner. They had decided to take their desserts with them to his room so that they could talk and catch up. |
Harry looked to Ron. "I’m sorry for what I did to your mother Ron. It won’t happen again." |
Ron nodded. "Can’t say I’m happy with you mate, but I guess I kind of understand. You know. With what you’ve been through an all. What’s so different about you anyway? You’re taller for one thing, and you’ve got some muscle on you." |
Harry smiled and filled his friends in on the parts of the summer that he could divulge. It was more of the what instead of the where. |
"Wait. So you mean to tell me that you are really done with your OWLs? Not only that, the Ministry offers more OWLs than what is advertised at Hogwarts? That wasn’t in any of my research." Hermione stated. |
"Ah. I heard about your little project. Well done I must say. Very well done" He watched as Hermione blushed. "But yes they offer many more subjects. Like warding, many languages, basic healing and the like. |
