The Durmstrang Potter Twin

Conversations and Missions

Molly's brows furrowed, "Well, they have to be in there somewhere, you should be able to communicate with them somehow, right?"

I shrugged, "Potentially there is some place within their minds that I could reach, but it wouldn't be easy."

"I think you should try it- after talking to Augusta and Neville, of course. Try to communicate with them and see what they want."

"Of course."

Dinner went smoothly after that and Molly served dessert and then slowly drifted toward our separate rooms. 

I caught Harry by the arm as he went to walk through the living room to get to the stairs, "You know I'll go after them if you want? We all will."

He looked confused, "Who?"

"Petunia and Vernon."

He paused for a moment, thinking, before shaking his head, "I don't want them hurt because of what they've done to me."

I patted him on the shoulder, "You're a good person, Harry. But we'll be having a talk with them when we go to get all of your stuff. They were horrible to you."

He cocked his head, "How do you know?"

"I watched over you as you grew up from a distance. It took all of my willpower not to go after them when you ran from Dudley or were neglected by them. They should've loved you like you were their own."

He looked down, shifting a little, "Thank you."

I brought him in for a hug, "You've got a better family now, kid. Don't you ever think we'll abandon you."

He relaxed a little, then pulled away and went to head upstairs, but was caught by Lily and James. I smiled a little and followed Sirius up the stairs to the room he was sleeping in. 

I raised my brows when we reached it, "Why do you have a hippogriff in your room?"

He shrugged, "This is Buckbeak. He was supposed to be executed a while back but Harry and his friends saved him and brought him back here."

I nodded and sat down on the bed in the corner of the room, looking at Sirius as he took his shirt off.

He looked over and smirked a bit, "Don't stare, Potter, it's rude."

I rolled my eyes, "Why would I be staring at you, Black?"

He chuckled and stretched before walking over to me, "So what happened to Tide?"

I hummed, "I told him that I needed to hide for a while and that he would be too big for that. He agreed and went elsewhere. I can't say I really know where he is right now. He would probably come if I decided to track him down and ask him if he wanted to join our cause."

Sirius turned a buried his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply and kissing the skin there lightly, "Thank you for coming back."

I brought his face up so I could kiss him, "Thank you for not kicking me out."

The next morning went too quickly for me. I was up early and moving about the house, leaving Sirius sleeping in bed as I got dressed and went downstairs. There, I found Molly and Lily standing in the kitchen, tea in hand. Molly handed me a cup and I leaned against the counter.

"When do you have to leave?" Molly asked.

I looked at the clock on the wall, "In about thirty minutes."

"When do you think you'll be back?"

I shrugged, "Depending on the mission... sometime tomorrow, likely late."
