How Can It Be. . ?

Chapter 7:

"Sirius Black," he replied.

"S-s-sirius?" Harry stammered, mouth hanging down and disbelief mixed with longing and hope in his emerald green eyes.

"Yes, Sirius Black, Harry, I have returned from the death, back through the veil, to see you today," 'Lucius' said.

"How did you return from through the veil?" Harry asked, desperately wanting proof so he could hug his godfather that he lost years before, three years to be exact, almost to the day.

"I have absolutely no idea, Harry, Dumbledore made it possible but how I do not know," 'Lucius' said.

"Can you give me proof as to who you are?" Harry said sceptically.

"Yes, I can tell you something only you and I would know, about James and Lily," 'Lucius' said. Harry stood up and went over to the wall, discreetly he motioned for everyone to go out the door and wait until he, Harry, said so.

"Go on then," Harry said turning back to face him.

"The bedroom that was yours in your parents' house was the top right hand bedroom facing away from the street, you were in the front top left because Lily was taking you into her room, where you slept as a small baby," Sirius said. Harry got up.

"I believe you, oh, how I've missed you, Sirius," Harry said, as he pulled Sirius into a hug. "Did you have to pretend to be Lucius though?" Sirius laughed.

"Of course I did, it was more fun this way," Sirius laughed. Harry grabbed Sirius by the arm and dragged him into the corridor.

"It's Sirius, it really is Sirius!" Harry shouted, as he swiftly moved out of the way before he was trampled, by the dozen or more people now gathered in the corridor, as people rushed to hug Sirius. Harry went and stood next to Draco, who had not been part of the crowd that rushed forward. "It's okay you know, he doesn't bite, love. Only when he's in Animagus form and you piss him off," Harry said with a laugh.

"Why is he disguised like my father though?" Draco said not taking his eye of Sirius.

"This is his way of welcoming you to the family, he knew I was getting married to you, but he didn't know it was today, and he is also going to wonder why he was not treated with respect or understanding when people leave him alone," Harry replied watching Sirius but looking at Draco out of the corner of his eye. Draco nodded, as Sirius made his way towards them, now looking like his younger self in Harry's photos of his parents.

"Draco, I'm sorry if I made you a bit worried at the front door, people have said that my sense of humour can be a slightly eccentric. But congratulations, Harry, Draco, I am so happy for you," Sirius said, pulling both of them into a hug.
