"W...w...what?" Ron blinked as he looked back and forth between Harry and the now unconscious man on the floor. "What the bloody hell did you do to Scabbers?!" Ron demanded as he looked at Harry.
"That's not Scabbers," Harry said as he levitated Peter Pettigrew's unconscious body up into the air. "that is Peter Pettigrew."
"P...Peter Pettigrew! But Sirius Black killed him!" Seamus protested.
"Black! He was here, he was in here!" Dean cried out.
"Well, now he is unconscious outside of the common room." Harry informed them. "You're welcome for that by the way."
"Wait, what are you on about?" Neville blurted out.
"Don't have time to explain this to you." Harry said as he started to walk out.
"Wait!" Ron called. "What are you doing to Scabbers?!" He demanded.
"This is an animagus, you blithering idiot." Harry sighed. "And before you continue to argue with me, I just have to ask, how long have you had him?"
"H...he's been in my family for twelve years." Ron answered.
"Right, how about you stop bothering me and try not to think about the fact that a strange man has been living in your home for the last few years?" Harry said, he didn't wait for an answer and instead walked out of the room with Pettigrew's levitated body following behind him. If he was being honest then Harry did feel sorry for Weasley, nobody deserved to have someone that looks like Pettigrew living in their house without them knowing.
When Harry got down to the common room the crowd that had previously been looking at the unconscious body of Sirius Black were now looking at him, they gasped when they saw the unconscious body that was levitating behind him.
"Who is that?!" Hermione Granger said, saying out loud the question that was on everybody's mind.
"Meet Peter Pettigrew." Harry responded, he stopped walking when he saw Crookshanks walk up towards him. Harry ignored the gasps from the others and knelt down and scratched Crookshanks behind the ear. "Hi Crookshanks." Harry smiled as the cat purred. "Sorry bud, I'm a bit busy now, I'll see you later." Harry said before he walked past him.
"But Peter Pettigrew's dead!" Percy protested.
"Yeah, but throughout my life I've also been told that 'magic isn't real', 'Azkaban is impossible to escape out of' and 'the killing curse is impossible to survive'. We live in a world of magic, Percy, nothing is impossible, get your head out of your ass." Harry said before he suddenly stopped and looked around. "Oh, so this is your common room?" He asked in an interested voice.
"Yes." One of the Gryffindor's nodded.
"I don't like it." Harry sniffed before he walked out, he dumped Pettigrew's body next to Sirius Black.
"Don't forget to tie up the fat one." Jet hissed.
"I won't." Harry replied as he tied up Peter. Harry knelt down and began searching the two.
"What are you doing?!" Percy demanded as he stepped past the other Gryffindor's.
"I'm searching them both." Harry said in a 'it's pretty obvious' voice just before he pulled out a knife that he had taken from Sirius. "Ooh...stabby." Harry said as he looked at it.
"You can't do that!" Percy said. Harry looked at Percy, then back to the knife before he looked at Percy.
"Ooh...stab-ee." Harry said as he pointed the knife at Percy before he moved over to Pettigrew. "For your information Weasley, I live with an auror, she told me that when you capture someone you need to make sure they have no more weapons or portkeys once they are properly detained." Harry said just before Professor Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall arrived.
"My goodness!" Professor McGonagall gasped when she saw Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black lying unconscious in front of them.
"Oh, hi Professors." Harry said in a casual voice as he continued to search Peter. "Oh, two wands." Harry said in an interested voice.
"I recognise that wand." Dumbledore said as he gestured to one of the two wands.
"Who did it belong to?" One Gryffindor boy asked.
"Lord Voldemort." Dumbledore whispered, though he might as well have shouted since everyone heard him, many Gryffindors squeaked and looked at the wand like it was a weapon of mass destruction.
"This is Voldemort's wand?" Harry repeated as he looked at it while placing Pettigrew's wand down.
"Yes," Dumbledore answered. "I recognise it, it is most definitely the same wand. He..." Dumbledore was cut off by a snapping sound. Everyone looked at Harry who was now holding two pieces of a broken wand.
"Oops." Harry said in an unapologetic voice.
"Do you know what you've just done?!" Snape demanded.
"It was an accident, sir." Harry said in an unconvincing voice. The Gryffindors all looked at Harry with disbelief, they might have been the house of the brave but none of them could even imagine doing what Harry had just done. "Anyway," Harry continued as if he hadn't just broken the wand of the most powerful dark lord to ever exist. "this is Pettigrew, isn't it?" Harry asked as he gestured to Peter.
"It is." Professor McGonagall nodded, looking like she swallowed something particularly nasty.
"So to sum up, in less than an hour I've managed to not only capture the most wanted man in Britain but also capture the dead man that he supposedly murdered." Harry said with a grin. "Can it just be officially declared that I am awesome?"
Harry found himself standing in the hospital wing with Jet resting on his shoulders, he was leaning against one of the hospital beds, Angela was stood next to him as she insisted that she stay since she was his vassal and it was her job to protect him. Opposite the two of them were Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black, both in separate beds and both tied to the beds to prevent them from moving. The only other people in the room were Madam Pomfrey and the three heads of houses, they were all here to keep an eye on everything while Dumbledore and Snape went to contact the aurors.
"Do I still get to eat the rat?" Jet hissed into Harry's ear.
"We'll have to wait and see." Harry replied.
Everyone tensed when the two unconscious men groaned and began to wake up, it was Sirius who woke up first. He blinked his eyes several times to clear his vision, he grunted and tried to move his arms and legs but found himself unable to since they were tied to the corners of the bed. He was able to raise his head and the first person he spotted was Harry.
"H...Harry?" He breathed as he looked at him.
"I would be him, yes." Harry said with a small nod.
"Merlin, look at you." He said in a raspy voice. "Just like your father...but...but your eyes, they're definitely your mothers. I...I...d...do you know that you have a snake on your shoulders?" He couldn't help but ask.
"Really?" Harry drawled just as he reached a hand up and stroked the top of Jet's head. "What on Earth would give you that idea?"
"Your mother's sense of humour then." Sirius snorted, anything he was about to add died on his lips when he heard Harry hiss to Jet, Jet hissed back before Harry responded with a final hiss. "Oh my goodness, you're a parslemouth….and a Slytherin." Sirius said with disbelief in his voice.
"You're slow." Harry replied.
"I...I thought you would be in Gryffindor like...like your mum and dad." Sirius said, sounding confused.
"I'm rather glad I'm not," Harry said before he turned to Angela. "I saw their common room, it was ghastly." He told her.
"It is not!" Sirius and Professor McGonagall said at the same time. Sirius blinked as he finally realised that Madam Pomfrey and the other Professors were here.
"W...what happened?" Sirius said after taking several heavy breaths, his eyes narrowed and filled with fear.
"Mr Potter stunned you when you tried to exit the Gryffindor common room." Professor McGonagall said, her eyes narrowed at him. "Would you like to explain what you were doing there?" She said, glaring at him.
"You...you stunned me?" Sirius blinked as he looked at Harry.
"I'd do it again if you give me a good enough reason to do so." Harry replied.
"No, you will not, Mr Potter." Professor Flitwick replied.
"Right, I have her for that." Harry said as he gestured to Angela.
"Yes, you do." Angela smiled.
"I meant that the other Professor's and I will be here to keep you safe." Professor Flitwick replied.
"Oh, right, I have these lot for that." Harry said to Sirius as he gestured to the Professor's. "Also, why the hell were you trying to break into the Gryffindor room? I'm assuming it has something to do with Mr Pettigrew."
"Peter?!" Sirius gasped. "You know where he is?!" He asked, looking like a maniac.
"Your peripheral vision is shit." Harry told him.
"Language, Mr Potter." Professor McGonagall warned.
"Huh?" Sirius looked around when he spotted Peter, his while body froze as he glared at Peter with pure hatred.
"Oh," Peter groaned as he woke up, he shook his head before he looked around, he squeaked as he looked around. He saw Harry, Harry's familiar, Angela, the Professor's and finally a pissed off Sirius Black. "S...Sirius..."
"I'm going to kill you!" Sirius shouted at him, he tried to move towards him but the restraint did their jobs. "You traitorous little bastard! You sold James and Lily to Voldemort!" He yelled, Peter let out a small cry at the dark lord's name.
"What are you talking about?" Professor Sprout frowned.
"He was the secret keeper!" Sirius roared. "We told everyone it was me but it was him! He cost James and Lily their lives!"
"I didn't mean to!" Peter sniveled.
Before anymore could be said the doors to the hospital wing opened, Dumbledore walked in, followed by a grumpy Snape, three aurors and the Minister of Magic along with a square-jawed witch with close-cropped grey hair and a monocle. Though Harry quickly recognised one of the aurors.
"Harry!" Tonks rushed over and pulled him into a hug. "Are you alright?" She quickly asked as she hugged him tightly.
"I'm fine, Tonks." Harry smiled into her shoulder as he hugged her back.
"You're not hurt, are you?" She asked when she pulled back and looked him over.
"I'm fine," Harry assured her. "I remembered your advice, I hit fast and hard, and...I got them." Harry grinned before he gestured to the two tied up men. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you both to Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew."
"B...but P...Pettigrew is supposed to be dead!" Minister Fudge sputtered.
"Well...clearly not Minister." Dumbledore said as he gestured to Sirius and Peter. "I can't help but notice the fact that Mr Pettigrew has one less finger than he should." Dumbledore said, it was well known that the only thing left of Pettigrew after Black supposedly killed him was a finger.
"What happened? How were they captured?" The witch with the monocle asked.
"Well, Mrs..." Harry trailed off and gave her a questioning look.
"I am Miss Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement." She replied.
"Ah, well Miss Bones, it started when I was in my room." Harry began. "I was looking at a magical device left for me by my father."
"What magical device?" Miss Bones asked.
"I would rather not say until or unless I have to, when this goes to court I'll be willing to show you what it is in private." Harry said to her. "Before you say anything, Professor Dumbledore knows what the device is." Harry quickly added.
"I do know what it is," Dumbledore confirmed. "it's a rather ingenious invention, if I do say so myself."
"Fine, but you will show it to me later." Miss Bones said to Harry. "Now, continue." She said.
"Okay, it let me know that Pettigrew and Black were in Hogwarts. It told me that Pettigrew was in the Gryffindor dormitory." Harry replied.
"What was he doing in there?" Tonks asked.
"I'll leave that to your imagination." Harry replied. "Anyway, I quickly rushed over in my tiger form."
"Tiger form?" Minister Fudge repeated.
"I'm an animagus." Harry explained.
"But you're not a tiger." Professor McGonagall protested. "Your form is a normal cat."
"Says who?" Harry raised an eyebrow.
"You showed me it!"
"I didn't say that was my only form, did I?" Harry countered.
"Are you trying to have us believe that you have multiple forms?" Snape drawled, barely resisting the urge to sneer, his mind still on his last talk with Dumbledore.
"In a way. I have one creature I can turn into but that creature can change forms." Harry replied. "I am a Tri-cat."
"A Tri-cat?" Dumbledore gasped.
"What the devil is that?" Fudge asked with a confused expression on his face.
"It is a rare animal, I've had the pleasure of meeting one once, they have the ability to shift between three different forms."
"Mine is a cat, tiger and sabre-tooth." Harry informed them. "You can check the animagus register."
"Why didn't you tell me that you were a Tri-cat?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Slytherin." Harry shrugged before he turned back to Amelia Bones. "When I got there I saw Sirius exiting the Gryffindor common room. I took out my wand and remembered the advice that Tonks gave me - because she's the best and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise - and I hit him hard and fast with a lot of stunners." Harry said, earning a bright smile from Tonks and an approving nod from Amelia. "Anyway, once I took him out I tied him up which is once again advise I got from Tonks - why hasn't she been promoted yet? - then I dropped my familiar on him."
"That's me!" Jet hissed.
"I instructed him to guard Black and make sure he doesn't do anything or wakes up." Harry added.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Sirius interrupted. "What was he going to do if I woke up?"
"You know, snakes have these brilliant things called fangs and venom sacs." Harry said to him before turning back to Miss Bones. "Anyway, then I went in and found Pettigrew in the boys room in the hands of Ronald Weasley."
"In the hands of Ronald Weasley?" Professor McGonagall repeated.
"It turns out that you and I aren't the only animagus's in the room, so is Pettigrew. He's a rat...the rat."
"Sirius is an animagus too!" Peter cried out.
"Of for Merlin's sake! Can you just not?! For five minutes! Can you just not be a traitorous bastard for FIVE MINUTES?!" Sirius yelled at him.
"Any-hoo," Harry continued as if that had just not happened. "I stunned Pettigrew and turned him human before I brought him back to where Black was and then I tied them up and searched them both before the Professors arrived. Sirius Black had a knife, Peter Pettigrew had two wands including one that Professor Dumbledore claims belonged to Voldemort." Harry said, Fudge and Pettigrew squeaked just as the two aurors and Professor's (with the exception of Dumbledore) flinched with Amelia only slightly flinching.
"Where is this wand?" Miss Bones asked.
"Oh, right here." Harry said as he pulled out the two broken pieces of Voldemort's wand and handed them to Amelia.
"It's broken." Fudge frowned.
"Terrible accident." Harry said in a dry voice. "Anyway, it's his, apparently."
"That is definitely it," Dumbledore nodded. "if you require more proof then might I suggest taking them to Olivander to have it confirmed." Miss Bones nodded as she pocketed the wand.
"Now," Miss Bones began. "I..." Whatever she was about to say was interrupted as three more people entered the hospital wing. The first two were Andromeda and Ted who both immediately rushed over to Harry to pull him into a hug. The third was none other than Arcturus Black.
"Lord Black?!" Fudge's eyes widened upon seeing him. "I...I wasn't expecting to see you here, I..."
"Shut your mouth and move out of my way, you intellectually malnourished little cunt." Arcturus said in an irritated voice as he walked past Fudge and stopped in front of Harry. He glanced between Harry and Sirius and Peter. "Well done, boy." He said to Harry.
Sirius, meanwhile, was gaping at the two of them. Arcturus Black, Lord Black, had just said 'well done' to his Slytherin half-blood godson who was apparently a parslemouth. What the fuck was happening?
Important - Read below
A.N: Hi guys, hope you liked the chapter. Also, happy new year. My only goal for the year is 'less shit than last year', that's what I've written down for myself. 2020 has been a weird year, I'm still struggling to understand how a worldwide virus translates into us tackling each other for toilet rolls. Can you just imagine history teachers a hundred years from now, talking about us?
"Right class," Says the teacher. "in the year 2020, Covid started spreading. Then these people decided the smartest thing to do was buy more toilet paper than they can store which would then in turn force other people to buy as much as they could or be left without toilet paper."
Anyway, fuck 2020.
Now, I've only got a few more things to say so please read below:
Number the 1) First of all, a few people have asked me if I'm going to add a another person to the pairing which is currently 'Harry/Angela/Tracey/Daphne'. In response I want to say that I'm thinking about it but I'm making no promises and will probably stick with what it already is.
Number the 2) When I started on this website I found a story that involved Harry meeting other versions of himself, one would be a Hufflepuff version, the other a Slytherin, and so on. I think it involved time travel/world travelling, I don't really remember. I stopped reading it because at the time it was the first ever fic I had read that bashed Ginny and I rather like Ginny. Now I don't mind reading a fic that bashes her but I did mind at the time so I never finished it. Does anyone know what the name of it is?
Number the 3) My pat-reon account name is JB21 (I can't type in a link because of the website but just type in the website which ends in a dot-com and then a slash followed by JB21Q, I'll have a batman picture up for my profile), if anyone wants to go on there and donate money then it would be appreciated. I'm also going to release the first chapter of my new fic on there later next week. WAIT! HOLD YOUR HORSES! Yes, the chapter will be released on the site but that does not mean that you guys can't read it. I'm putting it up on my pat-reon site first, and will put it up on here later. If you want an early viewing then you can support me on the site. If you can't or won't give money then that's fine, I will still love you and provide you with the exact same content that I'm giving everyone else. But with that being said if you become a patron then I will be giving out early chapters and in the future other rewards once I've decided on what I will do. Thank you.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed the chapter, feel free to leave a review.
