Chapter 2: Reunion Part 2

**********

The next morning Harry woke up with a scream on his lips, "No! Sirius!" Clenching his hands, he forced himself to take several deep breaths before getting up. Again, he had dreamt of that day in the Department of Mysteries and the Veil that had haunted him all summer. He got dressed in a red T-shirt and jeans and tried to do something to his hair, but it stayed it's usual messy black self. All in all, Harry was feeling very grumpy that morning. Knowing that it was unfair to take it out on his friends, he resolved to take a deep breath and count to ten if he felt as if he was going to lose his temper.

Harry had only taken a few steps into the kitchen when without warning he was pulled into a rib-crushing hug. When he was released, Harry took a step back and saw Mrs Weasley looking at him with a critical eye. "Harry dear, how lovely to see you. Oh my though, you look positively thin. Did those awful muggles not feed you at all" she started. "I'd have expected better, especially after that talk! I simply don't understand why the Headmaster insists you go there. Never mind that dear. Sit down here and I'll get you something to eat. We'll get you right as rain soon enough" and with that, she started pushing him towards the table.

Harry was unable to say a single word during Mrs Weasleys tirade. Deciding that it would be better to not say anything, after all, it was just his second day at Headquarters, Harry resolved to eat what he could and make a quick exit before Mrs Weasley tried to give him second helpings. 'Perhaps if I tried to have my meals when Remus was about, we could work together on it?' he thought with a small smile.

**********

Having escaped breakfast, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were joined by Ginny in Ron's bedroom. Ron and Harry decided to play a game of chess while the two girls were discussing what seemed to be Ginny's summer homework. After Ron had beaten him twice, Harry decided to read for a while instead. As Ron challenged his sister to a game, Harry left the room only to return a few minutes later with one of his Advanced DADA books. Making himself comfortable on the spare bed, he started reading a chapter entitled 'Duelling Using Special Abilities'. He had barely finished the first page before Ron called out to him.

"Yes Ron? What do you want?" he asked, slightly annoyed at the distraction.

"Mate! When did you turn into Hermione?" he asked.

"Ronald Weasley! What's wrong with doing some extra reading? It's not a crime, besides you might have done better in your exams if you read more" shouted Hermione.

Ron blushed at the rebuke but carried on regardless, "but this is Harry, not you. Come on mate. We can do something else; you don't have to sit there reading if you're bored of losing to me at chess. How about a game of Exploding Snap?"

"I don't think you should try to distract him Ron! He looks perfectly happy reading. Why don't you carry on playing with Ginny " admonished Hermione.

Taking a deep breath, Harry interrupted before Ron could argue back. "Look guys, I usually fit in some reading most days. If you want Ron, I'll play some Snap later, this afternoon perhaps?" he placated.

"Harry? When did you start reading schoolbooks anyway? You must admit, it's not something you're known for. It's more Hermiones area", asked Ginny.

"I don't recognise that book you're reading either. When did you get it?" added Hermione with a small frown.

"What is this, the Spanish Inquisition?" asked Harry with a small smile. Harry and Hermione laughed at the bewildered look on the two youngest Weasley's faces and said in unison, "muggle thing!"

"Actually, it's one of the books I got from the DA on my birthday. A 'thank you' present I think" Harry announced.

"Oh, that's nice", said Ginny. Abandoning the chess game temporarily, she continued, "so what else did you get for your birthday Harry? I know Charlie was in a right state. He had Dad and Bill working on something, but they wouldn't tell me what he had got for you".

Harry blushed as he realised the trouble Charlie must had gone through, but he wasn't ready to tell Ginny and the others his suspicions about the necklace yet. Instead, he reached inside his T-shirt and pulled his necklace into view.

"Wow! Is that an actual dragon's tooth?" asked a wide-eyed Ron.

"Yup! Charlie's gift".

"What's that, there's something else�" came from Ginny as her sharp eyes caught sight of the gems. "Merlin! How did he manage that? Without breaking the tooth?"

"What? What are you talking about" quizzed an oblivious Ron, still sitting by the abandoned chess game.

"Honestly Ron! Why don't you come over and take a closer look" admonished Hermione as she peered at the necklace. "Can I take a closer look at the stones?" she asked.

"Sorry Hermione. I don't like to take it off" apologised Harry, "It's an emerald a b a blue sapphire stone if that's what you want to know".

"It's a beautiful gift Harry. Charlie's never done something like that before though. I wonder if I could get one" pouted y.
y.

"It's not as bad as Bill's earring though! Mom won't have a fit over it either" laughed Ron.

"That's what Charlie and Bill said!" remembered Harry, thinking back to the small note that came with their gifts. Tilting his head at the frustrated look on Hermiones face, he said "What is it Hermione?"

"Oh! Sorry Harry, I was just thinking about something I read in a book about different stones and their properties" she started.

"Typical" muttered Ron.

Ignoring Rons comment, Hermione ploughed on in her lecture mode. "I can't quite remember, I'd have to look it up again in the Library. Emeralds are supposed to be able to reveal the truth and strengthen intuition. They're the stone of new beginnings and bring happiness to the bearer". Stopping to think, her brow furrowed, "I'm sorry, but I can't remember much about sapphires. I know that the various coloured sapphires have different magical qualities, but I don't remember anything concerning the blue sapphire. I'll look it up when we're back at Hogwarts Harry".

"Thank you Hermione. I didn't know that, but you don't need to put yourself out for me" said Harry gratefully.

"So what else did you get?" asked Hermione, Ginny nodding next to her. Harry had the uncomfortable feeling that he was about to be drawn into one of those 'girls talk' things and was not looking at all pleased about it. The eager looks on the girls' faces as well as Ron's curious look made him give in. With a sigh, he began to tell the three about his birthday. Ron was particularly amused at the reaction of the Dursleys while wincing sympathetically at Hagrid's unknown egg.

"Oh but Harry! What if it's something dangerous, or worse, something illegal! You could be expelled!" cried Hermione.

"Been there, almost done that" Harry replied with a smirk. Upon which Hermione smacked him on the head. "Hey!" he exclaimed.

"Don't make light of it, we were all worried about that last summer" she admonished.

Distracting her, Harry told Ron and Ginny about the Twin's present. In turn, the two Weasleys told their friends about that howler Charlie had sent the Twins regarding their dragonskin jackets.

"Well, I don't think I'll be wearing mine for a while. The Twins seem to have got my size completely wrong. It's too big both ways, but at least its black!" said Harry with a sigh, missing the concerned looks the other three gave each other.

Before the silence had got too long and uncomfortable, Ginny tactfully asked about the new, and more importantly, fitting clothes Harry was wearing. Harry blushed as he mentioned what some of the members of the Order had done for him. When he told them about Tonk's vow to burn his old clothes, Ron and Hermione immediately asked whether they could be there for the "ceremonial burning" as Ron called it.

"I think it was a wonderful and thoughtful idea Harry", said Hermione. "I hope Tonks and Professor Lupin made sure the Dursleys rse hse how terrible they are. I can't believe they had the nerve!" she sniffed.

Ron, it seemed, was still in shock after Harry had told them that McGonagall had also contributed to his new clothes and the remark she had made to Remus. It was with a pinch from his younger sister that he focused on Harry again. "Blimey Harry! You better be careful or Hermione here will get jealous! She won't be the teacher's pet anymore!" and with that he jumped up and ran away from Hermione who had turned bright red.

"Ron!"

"Sorry Hermione, but you know it's true" he apologised.

"Humph!"

Ron sat back down, but only after making sure he could see Hermione and was well out of reach of her arms. Ginny however, was scrutinising Harry. Feeling her gaze on him, Harry asked her what was wrong.

"I can tell you're hiding something Harry" she told him. "What is it?"

"It's nothing", he tried to evade and started to fiddle with the book in his hand.

"Don't nothing me Harry Potter!" replied Ginny, a steely glint in her brown eyes and looking reminiscent of her mother when she was interrogating the Twins. "There's something about the present that�s bothering you. Out with it" she ordered.

"It's really not that big a deal. Besides, I'll never wear it or anything. Don't worry" he tried again.

"Harry! Can it really be that bad? Wasn't Professor Lupin one of the ones buying the clothes? Surely he can't have got anything that horrific" asked Hermione.

"At least it wasn't my mother mate, who know what you'd have ended up with" reassured Ron. "It can't be that bad".

"Oh, but it is, I mean, no offence Ron, Ginny, but what was your brother thinking!" responded Harry without thinking, before clapping a hand over his mouth and blushing.

Ginny looked amused at Harry's outburst whilst Ron had fixed the shorter boy with a stare. Hermione on the other hand looked caught between amusement and sympathy.

"What did my dear eldest brother do?" asked Ginny.

"Uh, I just remembered, I have to talk to, uh, Remus, that's right" replied Harry.

"Sit down!" shouted three voices. "Lupin's gone out, didn't you know that?" Ron pointed out.

"Do I get a choice?" Harry huffed.

"No!" he said. "Now what's so bad?"

"Billboughtmeapairofleathertrousers!" muttered Harry in one breath.

"Pardon? Can you repeat that for those of us who don't understand Harryspeak?" asked Hermione sarcastically.

"Bill brought me a pair of leather trousers for my birthday" repeated Harry, blushing.

Ginny and Hermione blinked before bursting into delighted giggles, tears forming in their eyes. Ron shook his head at the girls' strange behaviour before asking Harry, "are you sure?"

"Of course I'm bloody sure, they're in my trunk right now! Tonks even wanted me to put them on, in front of the Dursleys! I mean, why? Why leather? What was he thinking? Was he even thinking!"

Ginny and Hermione were still giggling, leaning against each other for support and the scathing look Harry threw at them just made them louder. Ron wasn't any better, patting Harry's back in support but the smirk on his face giving him away.

"Well, will we get to see them then?" choked out Hermione in-between giggles.

"No you flipping well won't! I'll look like a right prat for starters and well � NO! There is absolutely NO WAY anyone will get me to wear them" declared Harry. "I mean it!"

Ron, Hermione and Ginny looked at each other before bursting out with fresh laughter again. Luckily, Harry was saved from any more embarrassment by a loud knock on the door.

"Come in" he yelled above the laughter of the other three. he dhe door opened and Harry saw the pink-haired Tonks and standing next to her was a scared looking Neville. Tonks gestured Neville to join the others as she levitated his trunk into the room and set it at the foot of the bed that Harry was sat upon. Hermione and the youngest Weasley siblings were still chuckling as they greeted Neville and gestured for him and Tonks to take a seat. Tonks sat down next to Harry while Neville found a spare chair and moved it to the foot of the bed.

"Neville! How have you? Enjoying the holidays?" asked Ron.

"F-fine" stuttered Neville, slightly taken aback at the huge grins on their faces and the scowl on Harry's face. "Professor Lupin said that you were all staying here. I'm glad, I was worried that I'd be here all alone."

"I told you you'd n gon good hands here Neville" laughed Tonks. "Why didn't you believe me? Don't I look trustworthy?" she pouted.

"Maybe it's the pink hair? The punk look I suppose" Harry mused.

"Well my dear Harry, what do you think would make me look more believable?" she asked, eyes glowing with mischief.

"Pigs nose and blonde curly hair?" came a suggestion from someone. In response, Tonks used her abilities to change her appearance as a wide-eyed Neville looked on.

"Spiky lime green hair and a pointed nose?"

"A long hooked nose and greasy black hair?"

"Arrghhhh!" screamed Tonks. Whacking Harry on the arm, she shouted "Urgh, what were you thinking of? Yuck, yuck, YUCK!" Running her hand through her previous spiky pink hair, she winced. "I think I need to wash my hair. Yuck!"

The five young witches and wizards laughed at the disgusted look on Tonks face as she realised that she had started to transform into a female Snape. Glaring at them, she got up from besides Harry and left the room, nose in the air, while laughter filled the room behind her. Harry began to feel slightly better for the first time since he had got up that morning. That was, until he heard the screams of Mrs Black drifting up into the room.

"What's that noise? Who's shouting?" asked a perplexed Neville, cringing slightly at Mrs Black's cries.

"Get one of the others to tell you", yelled Harry as he jumped up and ran out of the room, running down the stairs to the screaming portrait.

"Scum! Mutants, freaks and mudbloods! BEFOULING THE HOUSE OF MY FATHERS! BEGONE! HALF-BREEDS, BLOOD TRAITORS!"

The screeching of the portrait echoed in the hallway, ringing in Harry's head as he reached the source. It looked like Tonks had tripped over the large troll's leg as she returned to the kitchen, thus awakening Mrs Black. She was aided by Remus, both currently trying to close the moth-eaten curtains. For the first time that summer, Harry again came face to face with the life sized, drooling old woman wearing a black cap. As soon as the Mrs Black saw Harry she stopped screaming, her eyes popping out and instead she let out a horrible cackle.

"So it was YOU, the precious godson of my abomination, who finally got rid of him! HA HA HA, the blood traitor dead!"

He ignored Remus who was desperately trying to stop the cries of the portrait. Harry saw red! "HOW DARE YOU! YOU- YOU � SHUT UP YOU STUPID OLD COW! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING"

"DO YOU DENY IT? IT'S YOUR FAULT! WALKING AROUND IN THE HOUSE OF MY FATHERS! THE BLOOD TRAITOR LET YOU STAY BUT I'M GLAD HE'S GONE, HE WAS NOTHING BUT A FILTHY ABOMINATION! SHAME OF MY FLESH!"

"SHUT UP YOU HORRIBLE HAG! YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET TO KNOW SIRIUS! HE HATED YOU AND WITH DAMN GOOD REASON! LOOK AT YOU, YOU DISGUST ME. SIRIUS WAS ONE OF THE FINEST MEN I EVER KNEW, SO SHUT UP! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE HIS MOTHER!"

"HE WAS NOTHING BUT A BLOOD TRAITOR! HE WAS WORSE THAN THOSE FILTHY MUDBLOODS AND FREAKS HE INVITED INTO MY HOUSE! HE DESERVED TO DIE AND IT WAS MY PUREBLOODED LOYAL NIECE BELLATRIX WHO DID IT! SHE DESERVES THE NAME OF BLACK UNLIKE THAT FILTH!"

Harry's eyes were wide open as he stared incredulously at the insane insults of Mrs Black. He could feel the pounding of blood and his hand twitched, longing to grab his wand and curse her, not that it would do anything. Remus and Tonks stood frozen, still holding onto the mouldy curtain. He was vaguely aware of the presence of his friends and a couple of members of the Order behind him, watching the argument in shocked silence.

"HE WAS YOUR SON!" screamed Harry, not wanting to understand the hatred she held for his dear godfather. "YOU MUST HAVE LOVED HIM!"

"HA! I CAST HIM OUT OF THE FAMILY, HE WAS NO LONGER A MEMBER WHEN HE LEFT TO JOIN YOUR FILTHY FATHER AND HIS MUDBLOOD FRIENDS AND FREAKS! I CANNOT THANK YOU FOR RIDDING THE WORLD OF HIM!"

Harry stood shaking from pure fury, his green eyes blazing with a fiery determination and raw power. He was dimly aware of someone putting his or her hand on his shoulder, trying to push him away from the portrait, but he angrily shrugged it off. The silence in the hallway was in itself deafening, but all present heard Harry count to ten under his breath. In a cold tone of voice, Harry said to himself "Well, that didn't work" and stalked off down the stairs at the end of the hallway.

The adults and teenagers in the hallway looked at each other, confusion, sympathy, and shock on their faces after Harry left, but were quickly brought out of it by the insane laughing emanating from the portrait. Tonks and Remus tried to close the curtains again when the sound of determined steps reached their ears. They turned to see Harry standing in the middle of the hallway, a fierce light shining in his eyes, his face as cold as stone. Hermione and Ginny gasped a mixture of shock and fear at what he was holding. What he might do.

"Harry! Don't!" someone yelled, but Harry seemed not to have heard. Harry knew what he had to do, and he was going to get his revenge for Sirius.
