Dear Reader’s, I’m struggling to decide how to make reading this story more enjoyable and comfortable. The chapters are, most of them pretty long. I love, love, love reading all your comments. And I love responding to comments, but, I’m sorry, I tend to be long winded. I don’t mean to, just please overlook an old woman her short comings. That being said, let me know if you would like me to, keep posting replies before each new post, not reply at all, or respond to each comment as one is posted. Thankfully, tonight's chapter isn't very long, which is good, cause the replies are. Sorry, but, they're from the time before and the last chapter.

Harita: Thanks for reading and commenting Harita. There will be even more revelations about Tom later on. Writing Sirius’s grief was hard. I knew how I wanted him to be, but writing that anguish was hard to put on someone, even though it is a fictitious character.

Veggie_Potter: Hi Stef, Lily’s reaction at Jim changing into Tom was normal for someone seeing something like that. I tried to write her reaction as I think I would have reacted if a little boy changed into a pet I owned and loved. (Although my pet is gone

.) Thanks for saying my chapter was AWESOME! Anytime you have a hunch you want to confirm or deny, send me a PM, and I’ll oblige you.

Molly W.: Hi sweetheart. You know I won’t say no to anything you ask of me. (to do with my story that is

) I think of Avery, and Emily a lot, when I write baby Neville, and baby Harry.

Quote:

So, there was more than Lilly's love that saved Harry. Very interesting! Should she read this ff, JKR would be green with envy that she didn't think of that Can't wait to read more. Love ya!

Thank you Stephanie, that is a very thoughtful compliment. I’m trying my best to make this a great story.

Lord Greenie: Hey son, I missed you while you was gone. Welcome back. You are so sweet to say the things you say. But, you need to be careful sitting on the edge of your seat. A spell gone haywire could catch you and knock you off your seat.

Obi-Wan-K’Lari: Hey K’Lari, take it easy on yourself. I think your brain is great. Just get rest when you need it. I love reading your comments, but they don’t have to be anything more than what you feel like doing. You got a new Avatar! I love that show! We watch it all the time!

The charm Lily put on Harry, was mentioned because I write what the charm is later on.

The anguish Sirius has is very extreme because JK implies in her book, that people think seeing his friends dead, and it being his fault made him go mad. Hagrid was the only one there to witness this anguish, so I thought I would put Hagrid’s thoughts in so they could build their own story from Hagrid’s account. On Sirius’s side of the story, I wrote it the way I think he would have felt.

Quote:

The only thing I can say, unless this wan't meant to be strictly cannon, is that the house was meant to be on fire...so there wasn't much time for Sirius and Hagrid to poke around...just saying I still love it though! AWESOME POST!

Yeah, I stepped away from cannon here because; It’s my understanding that the source of the fire was from the spell backfiring. If this was the flash point, then Harry could not have survived the fire. It would have been too hot, and he would have also suffocated. It’s just my opinion though. Plus, I needed it not to burn, because I use the shell of the house later on. I’m glad you love it, and thanks for saying it’s an AWESOME POST!

OtteryStCatchpole: Hey ~Otts, gee it’s great to see you again. We all miss you, and we’re so glad Kelly is doing better. Getting your inter-net back is the icing on the cake. You never have to say your sorry for not being here for any reason.

I don’t stay on any part of the story long because I can’t write as good as you do. You are an awesome writer, and able to stay in one area any length of time, and make the story tremendous. And speaking of time, take yours, catching up.

Miss Weasley: Hello Katie, and welcome to my story, and our family. Thank you so much for your kindness.

Quote:

I was so happy to see that Tom made it into young Harry's arm before his death. sigh...

Yes, it was scary close, but thankfully he made it just in time.

Quote:

I don't look forward to Harry's trials and triblations at the Dirsley's, but "Que Sera. Sera". I do, however, await the return of my hero... Tom! Excellent chapter; I can't wait for the next one! PAMS!

As Tom wasn’t with Harry at the Dursley’s house, then we won’t be suffering through those times he had to be there. Tom is my hero also. I have another hero later on also.

Tina6080: Hi sweetie. Yes, it is sad, and I tried making babies, Harry and Neville, cute, but not unbelievable.

Thanks to each of my readers whether you comment or not. I do love reading your comments, so please fill free to do so if you like. If anyone knows of a way to make things not so long and more comfortable, please PM me.

Next week, around this same time, if I can, will be, Chapter 18, “A Time For Wandering, and Wandering Revealed”

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Peter Shows His Strength

Tom ran all over looking for Sirius. He had said he was going to find Peter, but where would he be? That day the boys were playing basketball Ottery and Teddy came by and said they had seen Peter planning something with Snape at the Leaky Cauldron. Peter, later on had come and told a story of Snape capturing and bullying him into helping Snape get even with James. Ottery and Teddy didn’t believe him, but Remus convinced James that Peter wasn’t capable of such a deception. Sirius was leery of Peter, but went along with them. That was when Sirius and James made the switch from Sirius being their Secret- Keeper to Peter. No one would make the coward, Peter, Secret-Keeper; he would crack before he was even tortured. Sirius on the other hand would take much torture, and would probably die without revealing the Potters location. Although it was a brilliant plan, it turned out to play right into Voldemort’s hand.

"Yes, all right then, I will try the Leaky Cauldron." Tom apparated there, and as he went inside, he ran into people standing, staring, and pointing outside on the Muggle side, talking excitedly. He found Sirius and Peter a second later. Sirius had Peter cornered, and was about to close in for the kill. He looked like a mad man, and sounded like one, laughing like a deranged man.

All at once, Peter yelled out that Sirius Black had just murdered Lily and James Potter. Sirius raised his wand and said, “Avad...” but Peter flicked his wand smiling at Sirius, and the street blew up in a horrific explosion. Sirius stood there defeated and null of all reality being lost.

Tom tried to speak to Sirius’s mind. “Sirius! Run!” Tom searched his mind, and his heart sank. The man was oblivious of everything. He was in shock. Then, Tom decided to take a chance and tackle Sirius, and move him with his magic to a safe place. He would have to be careful not to clamp down on his arm to tight, because a move like that could easily crush his bones, but not clamping down hard enough would splinch him.

“NO!” How did the Aurors find them so fast? Yes, there was a big explosion caused by magic, but still, proper channels had to be gone through. There would have to be memory modifiers and different teams to question witnesses, and all sorts. They would be quick, but not seconds after it happened. They stood there holding Sirius’s arm, until more Aurors arrived.

Tom sauntered over to them, and listened. After a few minutes, they decided to take Sirius in for questioning. A group of Aurors came, took charge of him, and disapparated with Sirius bound at the hands, and feet. There was a discovery later that they had taken him straight to Azkaban without a trial. Tom stayed behind and did some investigating on his own. He took care of some things and then left the scene.

Huge celebrations took place all over the country! It was told that little Harry Potter had killed, “He Who Must Not Be Named.” That night Harry became a hero and wouldn’t even know of it until years to come. As told in, The Daily Prophet, the awful scoundrel, Sirius Black, betrayed the Potters trust and turned in their location to, “He Who Must Not Be Named.”

Everyone was sad about the Potters, for they were an outstanding witch and wizard, and well thought of. Moreover, they were happier the evil wizard was dead. Tom knew better, for when the evil wizard was in the house, Tom touched Voldemort’s heart and found it had been defiled with the evilest of magic and ripped apart. He didn’t know where Voldemort was, but he did know that he wasn’t dead.
