Kreacher heard the soft calling, Grimauld Place was almost ready. He had cleaned and polished or replaced everything. It was no longer a dark house, it was bright and airy with neutral colors except Sirius room it was cleaned and refreshed but nothing was changed. He heard the call as finished taking down Mrs. Blacks Portrait.
Kreacher then knew the call was for his master Harry, but he couldn't hear it. The little house elf popped to Hogwarts, His master must be told.
Kreacher had to wait until Harry and Hermione were alone. He went to their quarters and cleaned up until they arrived.
Harry and Hermione Arrived late that Friday night. Kreacher Stood before Harry.
"Harry something is calling for you, can you'se hear it?"
Harry looked at his friend. "No I don't hear it Kreacher."
Kreacher wrung his hands with worry. "It be's very important we must go soon, it be's the old magic that call's."
Harry looked at Kreacher questioningly. "What do you mean by old magic?"
Kreacher looked at the floor, seemingly ready to punish himself. "Kreacher Does not know, only that it calls and is good or Kreacher could not hears it."
Harry thought a moment. "Sirius will be here in the morning, we'll take him with us to see what calls….he'd probably kill me if I went with out him. Meet us by Hagrid's hut in the morning and lead us to the call. We can also explain what is going on to him then. I will not let him treat you like he used to. Get a good nights sleep tonight Kreacher, I have a feeling we will all need it.
Harry and Hermione Shared the same bed and slept with out a care and only pleasant dreams.
The next morning Harry was beyond exited. The weather was a perfect early fall day, and no quiditch practice. The couple Rushed through there morning routines, and hurried to the great hall, with hardly a word spoken.
When Harry saw Sirius waiting by the door he ran and jumped on him, hugging him so hard Sirius could hardly breathe.
Sirius looked lovingly at the eleven-year-old boy in his arms. "That was unexpected, But I'm not complaining." Was said with a smile.
"I thought it would take a long time to get to this."
Harry started laughing. "Long story Sirius we will explain after breakfast, we have a little adventure to go on. We want you to come along."
Sirius looked at Harry. "Who is we?"
Harry knew this would set him off. "Me my wife, and Kreacher."
Sirius did a triple take. "What?" Having a feeling he is some how being pranked. "Harry your eleven and have a wife and my mother's old house elf?"
Harry smiled like a Cheshire cat. "Yes, and a lot more to tell you after breakfast and you really look like you could use it."
Harry, Hermione, and Sirius sat for an hour eating and talking about normal things then headed toward Hagrid's.
The half giant saw them coming and Harry wished he had told Kreacher another location.
Hagrid exited his hut almost roaring. "SIRIUS BLACK GET AWAY FROMN THOSE KIDS!"
Harry stood his ground between Sirius and Hagrid stopping the rageing Half Giant from Pummeling Sirius. "Hagrid Sirius is innocent, Peter Pettigrew did all those things, I know Dumbledore said different but he was wrong! Sirius is my Godfather and made the magical oath as one he couldn't hurt me if he wanted too!" Harry was holding up his hands to Hagrid, and so was Sirius.
Hagrid was subdued but still gave Sirius a warning eye. "Well guess that's alright then."
Harry smiled at his big friend. "We are going for a walk around the lake; we will stop back after we talk awhile. I want to get to know Sirius as he is my new guardian."
Hagrid had a funny look on his face. "Wha' bout you Aunt and Uncle Harry?"
Harry frowned at the thought. "They hate me Hagrid, would you want to live with some one that hated you?"
Hagrid got a pensive look in his beady black eyes. "I guess not."
Harry saw Kreacher by the edge of the woods. "We'll see you later then, bye Hagrid."
The four of them walked off towards the lake, Harry breathing a sigh of relief.
While Kreacher listened for the calling, Harry and Hermione told Sirius everything. Though he was skeptical he went along with it.
Half hours into there walk Kreacher stopped in front of a large stone out cropping.
"It is here but only Harry can enter, and break the curse. Look for the light Harry."
Harry stepped towards the large Stone and slipped through just the same, as he would do entering platform 9 3/4. As he walked deeper into the cavern he noticed stalactites And stalagmites of varying colors lined and sometimes almost blocked the path. It was overgrown with a moss and mushrooms of a type he had never seen. He lit his wand just enough to see, as he was looking for a light.
He came upon an almost clear crystal, with a man encased in it. He had a long grey beard and seemed to sleep. A light emanated from his forehead and shown through only the crack in the crystal. Harry laid his right palm against the crystal for a better look. The crystal began to dissolve into the floor. Harry watched in awe as the old man was slowly released from his prison of magical crystal and took a deep breath and sat down.
He turned to Harry and looked him up and down. "Strange Garb you wear my son, not the armor of A Knight." Harry actually laughed.
"Sir what day do you think this is?"
The old man looked at Harry for a moment. "By the kings reckoning it should be the
tenth day of February in the year 812.
Harry looked at the old man in shock. "Sir, this is the fifteenth day of November in the year 1991, you have been asleep a very long time."
"By all the gods!" Merlin said. "The stygian Prophecy, you and I are the ones." He said with a look of horror and contemplation at the same time. Harry just waited for more.
"Father and son, born in different time.
One of the old
One of the new
Separated by a thousand years
Combat the great evil
The strongest of wizards
The old trains the new
And removes the taint upon his soul
Together they stand
The old will fall
The new will prevail
A new age will rise from the ashes of old
And what was will be again
