Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

Harry had divided the summer into self-improvement, visiting Ginny and the twins and helping out Sirius. The first part was easy enough, Harry had the knowledge of Merlin, and all he needed to do was practice. The second part was Harry's most favorite part of the summer, admittedly he had to put effort into avoiding eating anything Mrs. Weasley offered, just in case she had put something in it. Percy was ignoring him whilst Ron was no longer trying to befriend him; in fact he now hated him.

Not that Harry cared; Ron didn't do anything over than glare at him. Ron had heard from his mother about what Harry had told her, his mother didn't believe Harry was lying and proceeded to make the rest of his summer hell by giving him more chores and less food. He challenge Harry to a game of chess nearly every time he saw him, Harry obliged and beat him every time. Merlin was a chess genius and the fact that he also trained with Rowena helped a lot. Ron however wouldn't be deterred.

Harry, Ginny and the twins spent a lot of time talking, joking and pranking. All four of them growing more fond of each other as every moment passed. He even introduced them to muggle pranks, they'd only ever use them when their father was around because he would be too fascinated with to punish them. Arthur was also very fond of Harry, especially because he brought various muggle stuff for him to play with. Last week he had brought him a toy helicopter. Molly would occasionally try to get Harry to spill the location of his home, but he never did.

The rest of his time was spent having Fawkes and flame, get his letters to Sirius. Sirius told him how Peter had chopped off a finger and turned into a rat, Harry told Ginny and the twins about it. They had immediately made the connection with Ron's pet rat Scabbers, the four began concocting a plan to deal with him and get Sirius free whilst also stopping Harry from killing him. Eventually they came up with an idea.

Arthur was sitting in the kitchen reading the local paper whilst Percy, Ron and Mrs. Weasley had gotten a letter from 'Dumbledore' that requested them to leave as soon as possible and go to the market. Harry came down the stairs with the rat cage in his hand and the rat inside. He was followed by Ginny and the twins.

"Mr. Weasley" Harry spoke politely "I was trying to explain the animagus revealing spell to Ginny but she doesn't seem to understand, I was wondering if you could show it to her using Ron's rat, from what I understand nothing will happen to it because it's a normal rat but I think it would at least help her understand it."

"No problem my lad" Arthur stood up and did the spell, Harry had took a step back and had readied his wand. Much like in Harry's plan, Pettigrew was revealed, bursting out of the cage. Harry stunned him and put him in the full body bind, he knew the ministry only monitored non magical houses and areas so he'd be fine using magic here. He had told Ginny and the twins this too, only after he had them promise to pretend they didn't know.

Arthur called the aurors whilst Harry took pictures with his camera which he had charmed to work in magical areas, he did this because he knew he might need extra proof. Some brilliant acting from the four and Harry had managed to secure a trial. At the trial Pettigrew was put under truth serum and revealed his crimes, then they called Sirius Black. He was brought in by a pair of aurors, he was skinny had long black hair and looked like he hadn't slept in weeks. After the trial he was pronounced a free man and was taken to hospital, that's when Harry stopped by for a chat. He sat next to his bed and the two began talking, Harry had told Sirius all about his life. Minus the Merlin part of course.

First Sirius was angry at the Dursley's and Dumbledore, then he was laughing to high heavens when he heard what Harry did. He event teased Harry about Ginny, Harry didn't reveal the magical contract yet but maybe later. Harry told Sirius about his first year, Sirius was angry at Dumbledore and the terrible trio, he was surprised by Snape and the beaming with pride at the end of the voldermort part of the story.

Harry then decided to tell Sirius about the more hilarious events that occurred, each kept getting more laughter from Sirius, Sirius was laughing so much that Harry had to wonder if he was going to end up injuring himself. Once Harry had told him about what happened at the train station Sirius laughed o hard that Harry thought he had finished him off, he decided to leave his second meeting with the Dursley's for another time.

"So" Sirius wiped a tear from his eyes "where are you living now?"

"Sorry Sirius" Harry whispered "I can't tell you, let's just say that there are a lot of people who want to know and they might not go about finding the information out in the nicest way possible. However if you need a place to stay then I have a few extra places I can lend you" Sirius looked disappointed but continued speaking.

"Alright I get that" He nodded " and don't worry about my living arrangements. I mean I couldn't be there for you yet you send me letters and potions, get me a trial and my freedom. I can't take any more from you, don't worry I have at least two places I can stay at. I talked with one of your dad's old friends, Mooney"

"The Mooney?!" Harry exclaimed
