Chapter 81: Little Whinging, Surrey... [edited]

[POV (REO)]

After bidding Amelia Bones farewell, I finally activated the untraceable Portkey given to me by Gringotts and arrived in Castle Ravenclaw. Well, I know that goblins are greedy and could sell anyone out for the right price but I wasn't worried about that in the slightest. If they sell me out they would again lose their richest customer...

I started walking towards the room where Sirius's Portkey was configured to take him. "Dixy" I called the house-elf who popped in beside me.

"What can Dixy do for master Edgary?" Dixy asked me while I could clearly see the expectation in her eyes.

"Can you please bring some food for our guest?" I asked the small creature who beamed after hearing me giving her work.

"Yes, master Edgary, Dixy can do that" Dixy replied and popped out.

I finally arrived at Sirius's room and entered, Sirius was still knocked out. Dixy popped in the next moment and place a tray of food and popped out. I was still in my armor, so there was no worry that Sirius would get to see my face and I also won't be showing Sirius the castle. I might be helping him but I am not stupid that I would lay all my secrets bare in front of him.

I also didn't save him just because of goodwill, it's 50-50. I saved him because of pity and it would be a nice wrench in Old Goat's plans. I pulled out my wand and cast a Rennervate on Sirius. Sirius immediately gasped for breath and got up.

He looked around and was completely shocked to see the room he was currently in. He turned his head around and finally found me. "So it wasn't a dream!" Sirius exclaimed and started to check his own body.

"So, it wasn't a dream after all... you got me out of Azkaban. But do you get out of this?" Sirius asked me looking slightly worried. Honestly, I am quite surprised to see that he can think clearly like this even after he spent 5 years in Azkaban... but he must have used his Animagus form mostly to keep his sanity.

"Let's just say... that I don't like Dumbledore and saving you would have ruined a lot of his plans" I said and make an iron chair from my iron sand and sat on it.

Sirius pondered for a few seconds before nodding his head. "You said, something about Harry... what happened to him, where is he?" Sirius asked me and I could clearly see he was not acting or anything he was really really worried and it was like the most important thing for him now.

"He lives in Little Whinging, Surrey. I will take you to him but you need to get cleaned and fed before that. I can't have you pass out because of hunger and I am also sure that you don't want to meet your Godson like that" I said to Sirius but I don't think he heard any of that... his face looked completely horrified. Did that guy know where the Dursleys live? It could be possible...

"Please tell me that he doesn't live with Petunia" Sirius spoke to me in a begging manner. I could already see the tears forming in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, yes. Dumbledore in his infinite wisdom thought that it would be the most loving family for him" I said and by now Sirius was on the floor crying and slamming his fist on the floor. I think he must know that Petunia despised everything related to magic and her sister and if Harry lived there then he can only imagine how miserable his godson's life had been.

"It's all my fault... it's all my fault. I am so sorry James... Lily, I have let you down... I am the worst" Sirius kept muttering. Honestly, I feel bad for him but I am currently short on time. I know that Old Goat would know that helped Sirius to escape prison and Sirius would definitely try to reach Harry, so he would tighten the security around Harry.

I used my powers on the shackles that were still on Sirius's wrist and ankles and pulled him up. "Get yourself together, it isn't too late. You can still save him, he can know that he is loved by his Godfather but we need to be quick before Dumbledore gets the news or suspects that you escaped" I said, Sirius heard me speaking and wiped away the tears he had in his eyes with the rags he was wearing. He immediately headed towards the food tray and started to chomp down and mutter about how much he loved food.

Sirius was done with the food in just 5 minutes, I looked at the huge tray that was filled with food just a few minutes ago and thought that the current Sirius could give Momo a small challenge. Though the house-elves were still trying to kill us with the amount of food they prepare for us, but Momo is our Guardian Angel and glomps down all the food. Quite funny that I remember it now.

"Good... I guess you could still meet your godson like this at least, he would know that his godfather was in jail because he was framed and wasn't able to take care of him" I said and got up from the chair. The chair dissolved into iron sand and entered my armor.

I walked up to Sirius and placed my hand over his shoulder. Sirius didn't say anything and the next moment both of us appeared in an empty street with normal houses on both sides of the street. Sirius immediately recognized this place and rushed forward to No. 4 house of the Privet Drive. The house of Dursleys, the same place where Harry was abused throughout his childhood. I didn't stop Sirius and he finally arrived at the door and started banging on the door.

I cast the most powerful notice-me-not charm. I was right behind Sirius and turned back and found Arabella Figg looking at us. I let her be, she can do whatever she wants I honestly don't care, if she calls Dumbles here then it would be really great as I would beat him up and hang him in front of Ministry or Hogwarts.

The door finally opened and a purple-faced Vermon came out carrying a club in his hands. "You!!" Verson yelled and swung his club towards Sirius but Sirius even in his current condition was much faster and punched Vermon on his nose. Vermon dropped to the ground with his broken nose and started to yell but Sirius didn't wait and headed inside the house.

Petunia was standing in the hall and saw everything that transpired. "How can you do this to Vermon? I am going to call the police!!" Petunia yelled and tried to back away towards their phone but I was much faster and used my powers on her blood and she dropped to the ground screaming in pain.

I stopped using my power on her and she stayed on the floor breathing heavily. Sirius wasn't idle and was looking for Harry all around until I called him and pointed towards a cupboard under the stairs. There were fresh blood stains right in front of the cupboard. Sirius's face became completely pale, I also clenched my fists together. No matter how much of a monster I am, I would never abuse a child like this.

Yes, I destroyed a whole city filled with people, there might have been some kids there and I killed them but I won't torture them or abuse them. I ripped apart the door from its hinges and Sirius and I looked inside to find a small kid with messy black hair and green eyes, he has a distinct lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

The kid was only dressed in rags, the kid was lying on his side his back facing towards the doors. His whole back was marred with bloody marks of belts. I could see Sirius was already crying, Sirius crawled inside and Harry had already noticed us and huddled back in a corner in fear. This broke Sirius's heart but he didn't back down.

"Harry... I am so sorry... I am sorry. I wasn't here when these monsters beat you up. You won't remember me... but I am here now, I would protect you even with my life..." Sirius kept speaking making several promises. This kept going for more than 5 minutes, I looked towards the house of Arabella Figg and found that she wasn't at her window now.

Because of the notice-me-not charm, none of the neighbors bothered with the screams and noises. Finally, Sirius came out of the cupboard while carrying Harry in his arms. He immediately rushed towards Vermon and started to kick him. By this time a miniature version of a whale came down and hugged his mom while crying.

I can't kill a small kid of my actual age in this world while I knew he was there. If I have killed kids before, I haven't known about them but I am not going to kill one knowingly. I used my power on Dudley's blood and rose him up in the air.

"No... please let him go! He is innocent!" Petunia exclaimed.

"Don't worry, I am actually letting him go, his only punishment would be he would go up without having parents" I said and hit Dudley with a lightning bolt and knocked him out. He was still floating in the air because of my power. I floated him to Arabella Figg's house and dropped him right in front of her door.

Petunia's face was completely pale now that she had heard me, Vermon's face was completely bloody now with all the kicks Sirius landed on him.

"Do you have a place to hide?" I asked Sirius.

"Yes, I will be taking Harry away with me to France, my family had a vacation house there and nobody knows about it" Sirius said and gestured me to come closer. I walked up to him and he said an address to me and I immediately knew the location of the house. So, the house was under some sort of Fidelius charm.

"Goodbye then, I will visit sometime when I can" I said to Sirius. I don't know how Sirius did it but he Apparated along with Harry in his arms. Must have been some family magic involved in there after all Blacks are one of the most Ancient and Noble Houses.

I walked out of the house and Vermon was groaning in pain while Petunia was tending to his injuries. It seems like she forgot that I told her that I was going to kill her... stupid people. I pointed my wand in their direction and cast a spell that even most Dark Wizards would fear to cast.

"Fiendfyre!" I cast the spell and a leviathan made of fire erupted from my wand and clashed with the building. Two screams could be heard from inside but my attention was brought by several popping noises of Apparition.

I turned around and saw Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Filius Flitwick, and Severus Snape looking at the scene with pure horror on their faces.

"Thanks for joining me this auspicious night" I said in a dramatic manner...
