"Welcome everyone. Last meeting of the year." Harry declared standing on his stage. "You have all progressed wonderfully this year." Some proud faces smiled up at him.

"Sadly, Some will be leaving our numbers this year." Harry reminded all of them. "I want to give you something to remind you that you always have a home here with us. You have all done so well and this will be the reward for your loyalty and dedication."

"Would all the seventh years approach the stage?" Hermione requested. Some students moved forward more eagerly than others.

"Oliver Wood." Hermione passed him a certificate. It read 'Oliver Wood Successful Graduate of Junior Phoenix Defence and Combat club. Golden Class.' It had each of the house mascots in each corner and an animated Phoenix instead of a signature. "Congratulations Oliver."

Harry moved forward to pin a badge to his robes. "Here. When you have this you will always find a friend with the Junior Phoenix's." Harry was very proud of his name for the club. The Junior Order of the Phoenix. Not that anyone would know that yet.

Oliver looked down at the badge. It was gold in the shape of a shield. It had a Phoenix engraved on it behind a wand and a sword.

"Oliver Wood Junior Phoenix Golden class. Well done Brother."

"Thanks' Harry."

"Gwendolyn Quinin. Junior Phoenix Gold Class."

"Kameron Good. Junior Phoenix Silver Class."

"Percy Weasley. Junior Phoenix Gold Class. Well Done Percy." Harry pinned the badge above his head boy badge. He had barely mentioned it all year. Well, defiantly not as often as Harry remembered.

"Thanks Harry."

"Remember Percy. If you don't turn your back on us. We will never turn our backs on you."

Harry signed many of the seventh years off with Gold Class badges. Only three got the Sliver Class; no one got Bronze Class that year.

"Congratulations all of you. I hope we have prepared you enough to succeed in the world. There are dark times ahead my friends. Keep a strong mind and a steady heart. Fight for your dreams and stay true to the light. I hope you all stay in touch. For the rest of you, I'll see you in September." Everyone smiled at him; some laughed at his speech.

As Harry closed the doors until September he silently asked the room to say for next year.

Oliver found Harry once everyone was on the train. His badge shined on his chest. The twins sat with Harry, Ron, Draco and Hermione.

"So how does it feel to be a free man?"

"No different actually." Oliver had now graduated Hogwarts and would soon have to look for a job.

"It'll start too. Especially when…. Never mind you'll find out."

"Tell me."

"No I don't want to ruin your excitement…"

"Your evil, you know that Harry. Evil." Oliver smiled.

Harry ignored that. "The world cup is coming up. Sirius offered us all tickets."

"My dad offered us tickets." Ron exclaimed. "He worked on the muggle side of the preparations so he gets them really cheap."

"We'll Harry will probably be coming with us." Oliver told them. "Moms one of the mediwitches at the game and Dad has to cheek the brooms. You know for spells and stuff."

"Wait both your parents are working on the world cup."

"Technically…"

"So what about Hermione. Ron's going with his family, I'm going with Oliver, Draco's going with Sirius."

"She could come with us." Oliver offered.

"Sirius wouldn't say no."

"My dad already planned to buy tickets for you three and Lee Jordan anyway."

"Umm if you guys don't mind I think I'll go with Harry."

"We'll see if we can get mom to put us by Ron." Oliver nudged Harry.

"I'll ask Uncle Sirius." Draco had been ordered by his mother to call Sirius uncle. As a sign of respect for her cousin letting them take over his home.

"Brill." Ron grinned.

"Just One thing." Harry bit his lip. "Don't stay overnight."

"What?"

"Please just beg whoever you have to; we cannot stay their overnight."

"What's going to happen?" Hermione demanded from him.

"Guys!" Harry couldn't control it. "I'm a kid I can't change everything. Some things are out of my control."

"Will someone die?" Hermione put her arm around Harry.

"No Wizards but yes. There is nothing we can do. There's going to be a real adult who will act."

"Oh god."

"Let's look on the bright side." Harry spoke desperately.

"Muggles are going to die." Hermione gasped.

"I know it's horrible but Muggles and Wizards die every day. I can't save everyone. It's too much."

Hermione made a sound that sounded like 'sorry'.

"You're being really cryptic today Harry." Oliver told him.

"Sorry but aren't you going to ask me what the bright side is?" He bit the skin on the side of his thumb.

"Okay what is the bright side?" Oliver asked.

"I already know the result." Fred and George became two inches taller.

"How is that a bright side it ruins the j-" Oliver was cut off.

"Harry what is it?" Fred asked. "We've got some savings for that thing you gave us for Christmas. We can bet on…"

"Boys that's cheating." Hermione insisted.

Harry was sad that Sirius hadn't asked him to live with him but he loved living at the Woods. He didn't want to leave Oliver who had made it clear he loved Harry living with him.

"Does Mum know about Scabbers?" Ron asked as they were pulling into Kings cross station.

Harry wondered if this was the best arrangement. Oliver lived in Scotland. He had to go to the south of England just to go back up again. Then again it worked for years; who was he to mess with tradition.

"Percy sent her a letter for you." George told Ron.

"Come on little nerd cheer up a little; you got full marks again."

"Yeah I wouldn't have if it wasn't for Harry teaching me the Divination stuff."

"Don't doubt yourself. You sat your exam not Harry." Hermione nudged him. "Come on."

"I can't wait to get home; I've barley seen Hedwig all year."

"Meow."

"Aww girl I see you everyday baby." Harry lifted Zana from the bag and held her so she was looking over his shoulder. She purred happily knowing she was Harry favourite.

Oliver pointed over to his parents and Harry noticed Sirius beside them. He didn't register Draco's mother near Sirius.

"Hey guys I see my dad." Hermione pointed across the platform. "If he says yes; I'll see you at the world cup."

"Hey Uncle Sirius." Harry hugged his godfather.

"Hey Pup."

"I don't see my mum?"

"Draco you've grown." Narcissa hugged Draco who squirmed so she wouldn't kiss him. "Hello Harry."

"Hi Ms Black."

"Ah I see Percy and Dad. I'll see you at the world cup. Owl me." Ron ran off to show his mother his results. He had stopped worrying about the twins now.

"I think they've both grown Cissa." Eleanor told Narcissa.

"Oliver." Gwen Quinnin squirmed as he kissed her hand in middle of the station.

"Bye Harry see you later." Luna smiled as she hugged Genevieve.

"See you soon Luna."

"Harry can I borrow you for a moment?"

"Sure Padfoot." Harry walked to the side with his godfather.

"See you September Harry."

"Thanks Zack, Anna." Harry waved at the two Slytherin's. "Hey Zack I never got to ask. Did they ever apologise?"

"Oh No." Zack answered. "They just Dissapaered. I haven't seen them at all."

"Oh Sorry. I expected them to say sorry."

"Its fine Harry. Thanks anyway."

"That's no problem. Have a good summer."

"You too."

Sirius smiled. "So Harry I was wondering because I'm your god-"

"See you next year Harry."

Harry waved to the sixth year. "See you Cole."

Sirius finished. "Godfather."

"Hey You going to the world cup Harry?" Cedric Diggory asked nodding politely at Sirius.

"Obviously. I'm only going to the final though. I have a feeling Ireland will be there."

"Oh I wish. Have you seen England's team this year, no way?" Cedric smiled. "Well see you there Harry."

"See ya."

"How popular are you?" Sirius sighed. "I'm your Godfather Harry and your father wanted me to look after you if something happened to them. I understand if your happy at the Woods. They're great people and Oliver is a good friend to you."

"Are you asking me to live with you?"

"Yes. I am."

"I'd love that… Just- not at Grimulad Place. I've been there with Draco. I don't like it." Harry knew how Sirius felt about that place.

"Okay." Sirius grinned widely. "You can stay with the Woods until I have a place settled?"

"Yeah. Have you spoke to them?"

"I have. They're okay with it. They seemed a bit sad but I really want to be the one looking after you. It's my job Pup." Sirius rubbed his hair. "I have a lot of catching up to do."

"It's going to be great." Harry agreed.

"See you September Harry?"

"See you soon Neville." Harry waved.

"Harry I don't suppose you'd mind but you know that Lawyer you pointed me too." Sirius asked. "I hired him as the Black Family Lawyer."

"Really was he that good."

"You were the one that suggested him?"

Harry smiled nervously. "He was the best I could access; it was kind of a long shot to be honest."

Sirius looked amused and relived. "Well he's a bloody brilliant lawyer."

"Yeah I know." Harry smiled agreeing. "Did Remus tell you what marks I got?"

"Full O's, you got your mothers brains."

"Arithmacy was the only difficult subject. I'm glad I did well."

"I'm proud of you. I'll be bragging for weeks."

"Draco was only a mark or two below me."

"I'll have to congratulate him." Sirius reached into his pocket. "I don't know if you've seen it; this morning's paper."

'PETER PETTIGREW CONFESSES TO POTTER NIGHT MURDERS.'

"Azkaban? Thank god."

"No Harry not Azkaban."

"What?" Sirius pointed to a paragraph.

'However, in a bid to escape Pettigrew fled from the Dementors. This resulted in the dementors being forced to give Pettigrew the kiss. The minister says he regrets this. However as Pettigrew admitted his guilt under Veritaserum this would serve as his punishment.'

"He's dead?"

"Almost as fulfilling as if I had done it myself."
