“What was that?” Sirius said pulling his wand out.
“Oh, didn’t you see the Dragons when you tried to land?” Orios said.
“Dragons? Erm, no, I don’t think I did. I bet Rubeus likes that.” Sirius chuckled. It was obvious that the dragons had made him jump, as it had shaken everyone else outside.
“Everybody, let’s head up to my office, I’m getting rather cold,” Professor Orios said leading the way back to his office.

The walk back was a quiet one, but everyone was focused on one person, Sirius.

When they walked into the office, Sirius looked at the portrait of the previous head master, Albus Dumbledore. It was awake and smiled as it saw Sirius. Before Sirius had a chance to say anything, Dumbledore went to sleep.
The all took a seat in the office as Lupin began making some tea.

“Well, where do I begin?” Orios said warming his fingers up over the fire.
“The start would be the best,” Harry said.

Sirius looked at Harry and smiled. He really had missed him in the past year whilst acting as the headmaster of Durmstrang.

“Ok, did you know that I worked in the Ministry of Magic?” Orios said, not giving them time to answer. “Or more precisely, the Department of Mysteries?
“You worked there?” Ron said.
“Yes, I did. I was working when the attack happened. My group of workers had received some information from a man undercover with the death eaters. He was told that an ambush was going to happen in the department of mysteries. I didn’t believe him at first but then I noticed you, Harry. And your group of students running into the room of torches. I quickly got my invisibility cloak and tried to follow you, but I was stopped. A few death eaters were guarding the corridors. I had to defeat them to get to you. By the time I reached you, you were gone. I tried reaching you and saw you inspecting the veil of wonders. I was afraid that you would try to go into it, so I performed a Portinalus charm. This disabled the veil’s key features, and changed it into a portkey, but this charm tracked anyone to go into it. So when Sirius fell into it, he was transported into Bulgaria.”

“Why didn’t you tell me this?” Harry said.

“Only 3 people ever knew, and you only had contact with one. Albus Dumbledore promised not to tell you because he knew that if anything went wrong, you would go through the pain of losing your godfather twice. When Dumbledore died last year, I decided to bring Sirius to Hogwarts. He had to come with the place were he was, Durmstrang. He had taken the role of headmaster under the name, ‘Tony Almeida’ and agreed to come back. Just before the Durmstrang ship set sail the death eaters arrived and attacked the school. Sirius had to take a polyjuice potion and fight them disguised as someone else. He defeated them but missed the ship. He had to find another way to reach Hogwarts.”

“Why did you have to disguise yourself?” Hermione asked.

“The death eaters cannot know I am alive, or they will come and try to kill me. I know things that could ruin them, so you all must call me Tony in public, is that understood.” Sirius said taking a sip of tea and nearly burning himself.

“Now we all know the secret, I think we need to go to the great hall.” Lupin said.
“Why? Isn’t it late? The kids should go to bed.” Sirius said.
“The Durmstrang students are missing their headmaster, and they probably want to see him.” Lupin chuckled.

Sirius looked at his and laughed. He had his friend, life and godson back. Things could not get any better.

End Of Chapter 9, meaning chapter 10 is next. Let's just say, Something is going to happen on Christmas day.
