4 The Burrow

Molly had an amazing day, even though she missed her kids who were at Hogwarts. Without the twins the house was much quieter, even though it was very lonely, as her only girl child Ginny was up in her room reading about the boy who lived all the time and Ron being Ron was lost in the Chudley Canons. Everything was going good until she went to the garden and found a child who had APPARATED in front of her. A child...Apparation was tough enough for even most adults and here was a child who was about Ron's age or maybe a year smaller, who just apparated there. 

"This is the Burrow, my dear. What's your name and how did you apparate here?", Molly asked gently kneeling in front of Harry to get a better look at him. It was then she saw his scar and her eyes widened.

"Hello, I am Harry Potter, and I was practicing apparation in my room and I think I overshot", Harry replied with a smile of his own. Molly's fear was answered then and there. It was Harry, Harry Potter, the boy who lived. She wanted to hug him, the child lost his parents when he wasn't even 1 years old. She had no idea how he has been all these years. Even though she wanted to hug him, she refrained to do so. Molly just stared at Harry, unable to think of what to do.

"Harry Potter....."

Molly suddenly fainted as it was too much for her to think off. Harry just managed not let her hit her head. He then cast the levitating charm on her and made his way into the house where he sat her down in the arm chair. He then used the healing charm to help her wake up. While doing all this, Ron had come down for a snack and he saw a boy doing something to his mum and he lost it. He grabbed the nearest thing he could, which happened to be a pan and swung at the boy.

Harry didn't see Ron and took the blow to his head, knocking himself out. Ron lifted Harry and tied him to a chair, then went to check on his mom and called Ginny down. He then sent an owl to his dad to hurry back home as there was an intruder who did something to Mrs. Weasley. 

Harry wakes up after about an hour with a throbbing pain in his head to find himself tied to a chair. Confused by this he looks around to see Ron standing in front of Ginny holding what seemed to be a steel poker rod. Mrs. Weasley still unconscious on the chair.

"Oi, who are you and what have you done to my mum?", Ron asked angrily.

Harry chuckled softly, "I guess I was asking for that thunk to my head." wincing slightly as his head really hurt. 

"Well Ron, I am Harry. Harry Potter and as to what I have done to your mum, I must say that I have not done anything and she fainted on her own when she saw me in the garden".

Ron and Ginny both gasped. "How do you know my name?"

"Well let's just say that I know a lot about a lot of things", Harry said while cutting the ropes with a severing spell. "And now if you will point that poker away, I would like to get Mrs. Weasley to wake up?", Harry sighed. 

Ron thought for a moment and the put the poker away. Harry glanced at Ginny, there she was, his future wife. Well that is something he will have to work for later. Now onto more pressing matters. Harry faced Mrs. Weasley and held his hand over her, "Renervate". Harry cast the spell and Mrs. Weasley wakes up grudgingly. At the same time there is a loud pop heard as Mr. Weasley apparated into the room with his wand ready. 

"Ohh hello, Mr. Weasley. Nice to meet you, my name is Harry Potter and I assure you that you will not be needed that wand as I mean no harm.", Harry said with a smile. 

I guess it will not go the way I want to so I guess I have to change the plan. Maybe if I hadn't got caught by Ron while trying to wake up Molly it would have gone a different way. Can't believe that this has turned into such a serious thing. Serious...Serious...Sirius, bloody hell he had almost forgotten him. Need to make things right now that I remember. 

"Mr. Weasley, don't worry Mrs. Weasley will be fine soon. But if you could please call Dumbledore here it would be great. I have some rather interesting news for him regarding my parents death.", Harry said with a smile. 

Mr. Weasley still not sure what to do, but he recognised Harry so he nodded. He went to the fireplace and threw in floo powder and called out "Albus Dumbledore". Seconds later Dumbledore climbed out of the fireplace and greeted Arthur Weasley. 

"To what do I owe the pleasure Arthur."

Mr. Weasley said nothing but just pointed to Harry who was looking at Dumbledore rather intriguingly. 

"Ah Harry, how are you here? Shouldn't you be with your aunt and uncle?", Albus asked.

"Well professor, let's say that I called you out here to free an innocent man.", Harry replied coolly. Dumbledore was quite taken aback at Harry's demeanor. 

"And who might that be Harry?", Dumbledore asked. 

"My godfather of course", Harry replied with a smile.

"Sirius..Sirius Black is innocent? Are you speaking the truth Harry?", Dumbledore asked with a serious tone. 

"Yes professor he is, I can prove and as to how I know what I know, I think I'll have to wait for a more private meeting when I get to Hogwarts.", Harry replied. 

"You see Sirius never betrayed my parents, Pettigrew did.", Harry replied coldly.

"Pettigrew? Peter Pettigrew? But Sirius killed him. Blasted half of the street in that process", Albus countered. 

Harry turned to Mr. Weasley, "Sir I mean no harm but could you take Ginny and Ron from here for sometime. I would rather not have them listen to this at this moment.",

Mr. Weasley nodded and send them upstairs. 

"Well Professor, did you know that Sirius, my dad and Pettigrew were animagus? Yes they did this to keep Remus company during his transformations. I am sure you know about Remus's condition?", Harry asked.

"Yes Harry, I am aware of that, but I didn't know about James, Sirius and Peter being animagus." 

"Even then how do you plan on proving Sirius is innocent?", Dumbledore asked.

"By giving the ministry, Peter Pettigrew of course", Harry replied with a smirk.

Dumbledore looked shocked, "He is alive?" 

" Yes, Pettigrew has been living here in this house with the Weasleys for quite sometime I think. Not that they knew of course" Harry replied.

This time everyone present in the room was shocked. Arthur, Molly and Dumbledore each looked at one another. Arthur and Molly looked devastated in a way. 

"Well if you could call someone from the Ministry and also Remus Lupin. I think he would want to see the one who really betrayed his friends", Harry added.

 "But where...", Mrs. Weasley started as the very thought of someone living in her house without her knowledge was quite disturbing. 

"Well, Peter Pettigrew's animagus form was that of a rat. Which I believe is Percy's pet as of this moment", Harry added. 

Dumbledore didn't know how to believe Harry but something told him that he was telling the truth. 

"Professor, I would urge you to trust me for now. I would give you the explanation later."

"Very well Harry. I will get someone from the ministry here, along with Remus and Percy's pet", Dumbledore replied and disappeared into the fireplace. After him gone, Harry turned to both Arthur and Molly and bowed.

"I apologise for my actions earlier Mrs. Weasley. I was not truthful with you. I had no idea I would land myself into this. I had no ulterior motives when I apparated here and I would like to apologise for making you both worry." Harry said with his head down. 

Arthur and Molly both look at each other, unable to comprehend what was going on. 

"But why did you want to apparate here Harry, even if we try to get over the fact that you are a 10 year old and you apparated here", Arthur asked. 

"That is a bit difficult for me to say right now Mr. Weasley but I assure you I mean no harm of any kind. I am willing to make an Unbreakable Vow if you want but forgive me I cannot tell you why I apparated here. At least not right now", Harry added. 

Both Molly and Arthur gasped and looked at each other when Harry mentioned Unbreakable Vow as they knew the consequences of it. Both sigh and look at the child who was still bowing to them. 

"It's ok Harry. Please let us know when you are ready", Molly said with a smile as she knelt down to pull Harry into a hug. Arthur smiled at this and looked at his wife. Harry returned their hug. 

Harry smiled to himself finally had his other family.
