unexpected events

chapter three

which sirius responds with a gently smile while he goes to pick me up, once he does I snuggle into him. even though I couldn't see his face, I knew he was smiling brightly at me. and before I knew it I had managed to pass out in his arms, I felt warm and safe.

................................................................................................................................................................

he had a family, a true family that cared about him, and that's how lily and james found him. Harry was cuddled into sirius, which decided to sit down in a comfy chair while holding him. harry had a smile smile on his face, with just a hint of a natural blush in his cheeks.

at this scene, lilly decided to go and grab a camera to get a picture of this adorable sight, while james just stood there in awe at the sight, while his face sported a fond smile.

once lilly had got back from searching and getting the camera, she snapped a quick photo of the godfather and godson snuggled together. sirius, some how only realized their presence once lilly had taken the photo which startled sirius a little bit, luckily his slight jump of shock didn't wake little harry from his deep slumber.

" you scared me have to death there lily" sirius lightly chuckles out. 

"sorry, I guess I should have warned you before I took the picture." lille paused for a moment .     "But yet again it would of ruined the natural look of it." lilly responded back to sirius with a light smile."

then james finally spoke, "well, I think you should put harry to bed" sirius went to protest but lily cut him off " sirius, he needs to go to bed, well crib, can't have you falling asleep and dropping him now can we" lilly questioned sternly.

" y-yeah I guess so, wouldn't want to hurt my pup" sirius said while looking down at his sleeping pup, which he then got up slowly. before sirius was about to speak, lilly told him" yes you can put him to bed sirius, but if you wake him up and he starts crying, you have to deal with him" lilly said in a jokingly stern voice.

" ofcourse, Well I guess ill go put prongslet to bed, also, where is Alex." sirius asked quietly as he got closer to lily and james.

" he is in bed, though most likely not sleeping. he just wouldn't calm down for some reason. hopefully he is asleep, so he might, hopefully be in a better mood in the morning." lily responded.

" he has been quite the loud one, as well as stubborn. though I do remember you were also a stubborn one when you where little james. well at least from the stories the portraits have told" sirius told james and lily, more so at james though.

" I wasn't that bad" james whined, which got him a slap on the back of the head from lily.

" I swear, am I the only adult in this house" lily questioned. wich, james and sirius just pouted at, which received a small laugh from lilly.

"see?" lilly said, with a small chuckle. " though I think you should put harry to bed now sirius, before we wake him, he must be really tired to have not been woken up" lily told sirius.

" Yes, It would be a good idea, goodnight lily, night james" sirius said while walking to put little harry to bed.

Meanwhile, in the land of sleep. not so little harry was greeted by death.

"hello master" death greeted

"wait, did I die already?!" harry stated, a bit of panic in his voice.

"no master, you are just sleeping, wich during these times I can teach you to master your abilities" death somewhat reassured, for a cold deathly voice is not one to think to be a reassuring voice.

" thank goodness, that would have been awful if I somehow died already .But really, why didn't you tell me I would have a twin, an arrogant brat at that" harry sighed in relief, as well as wined at having a arrogant, bratty twin.

Harry would have not minded a twin at all, if anything when he first knew he had a twin. He was slightly ecstatic at having a twin brother. But when alex started being more of a brat, greedy, and arrogant, harry hated the fact that he had a twin brother. 

Though he was still hopeful that once he grew up a bit more, that alex would start to 'mature' a little bit, and not be such of a brat.

" well, I do love to torment people,  even you young master." death chuckles out darkly.

"uhhg, I really, really hate you. anyway what will I be learning first, oh so mighty death" harry mocked.

" you are truly funny master" death said, dragging the F a bit. " though you are a master at occlumency and lefimeny, you still must learn to control it, as well as learn how to build barriers around your mind, you will learn how to mask you power, and contain your emotions." death stated.

" aren't we already in my mind, death?" harry questioned.

"indeed we are, which is why we we start of with you building you mind scape, and if your mind defences are good enough, you might even be able to keep me out, which is very unlucky, more so you will only be able to resist me for a period of time. and you will work on your mindscape till your able to last 1 minute of me trying to get access to your mind and memories." death stated what they, more so harry, where to be doing.

" so, how would I build this mindscape you speak of?" harry questioned

" it will take countless hours of medirateing, and patience. when meditating, you must visualize what your mindscape looks likes, whats are the defences, traps, and finally how will you be able to access your most inner thoughts." death stated as if it was an obvious fact.

" but I am in my mind, do I just close my eyes, and think of my mindscape, or do I have to be awake?"  harry once again questioned death, though slightly hesitant for the look of annoyance was in death eyes.

" just close your eyes and think, yes, simple as it could be put, now go along, maybe dream up a soft cushion, or something to help yourself meditate, it is your mind after all and you can summon anything at a blink of your eye." death stated blandly, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

Right after deaths bland statement, both harry and death were in a room with two comfortable looking loveseats facing a fireplace that was in the center of the was, diagonally. "Happy?" harry grumbled out.

" I guess this will do for your meditation, though its awfully colorful in here" death once more stated with a hint of disgust at the colorful room. all the walls were painted in a light navy, the loveseats red, with a trim of a nice silver, and then the carpet in front of the fireplace was the crest of hogwarts, with a grim, werewolf, and stag running around the crest.

The grim, werewolf and stag, on the carpet seemed to be enchanted for they were actually chasing after each other. it truly was a sight to behold, all harry did was smile at the carpet with a smile, while fully ignoring deaths protest of awful colour choices.

" HARRY JAMES POTTER LISTEN TO ME" deaths voice boomed through harry's mind, which shook him out of his trans that he was in.

From the sudden outburst from death, it had startled harry to being able to kick death out of his mind, which then death managed to get in a few seconds later.

" was that really necessary death, if I wasn't the master of you, I probably would have died from your shouting." harry chuckled out half heartedly.

" well you where not responding to me you imbecile, you were so entranced by the 'oh so wonder' carpet" death stated. " and these colors, absolutely horrid" death grimace.

"would you prefer umbridge style room then, hmm" harry stated mischievously. At that statement, death 'face' somehow lost all of its color, even though it was just bone, and the look of disgust on his, not so existent face, was prevalent.
