Meeting Padfoot and Ritual Discussions
Harry was slowly waking up, as his eyes opened he saw blurry images of an unfamiliar room. He quickly jumped up panicking for a moment before his recent memories caught up with him. Harry sat on the bed he was on in shock before a blinding smile formed on his face as he remembered his parents being alive and they were accepting of his want to be bigger.
He quickly got up and left the room wandering the large house trying to find someone. Suddenly he heard voices, heading towards the voices. Coming into a room that seemed to resemble a dining room he saw his parents speaking with another person who looked slightly sick but overall healthy.
Lily turned around and saw him and gestured for him to come over, a loving smile on her face. Harry smiled and went towards his mother. Hugging her as he sat down on one of the chairs at the table. Lily smiled and spoke
“Harry, I’m sure you're wondering who the other man next to your father is, his name is Sirius Black he was a friend of your fathers in Hogwarts.” Lily smiled sadly and continued “He was supposed to raise you in case anything happened to us, but due to extenuating circumstances he was put into prison despite being innocent.”
Harry looked at the man who was staring at him with tears in his eyes. Harry suddenly remembered something, it was fuzzy though he still remembered the words spoken `C’mon Pronglest say hello to Uncle Padfoot`. Harry's eyes widened at the memory before staring directly into Sirius’ eyes. He spoke softly
“Uncle… Padfoot?”
Sirius started crying and Harry jumped towards him and hugged him. Sirius spoke softly “I’m so sorry Harry I shouldn't have gone after Peter if I didn’t you’d have been taken better care of. I’m so sorry”
HArry smiled at him before replying “It’s fine Padfoot, I don’t blame you in the slightest, besides now I have my whole family with me now, and I’m never losing you guys again.”
The three adults smiled at the statement. Sirius suddenly had a mischievous twinkle come to his eye. “So Prongslet, Lily and Prongs here told me something interesting.”
Harry looked at Sirius apprehensively “What did they say?”
Sirius looked at his godson in amusement. “They said that my little Godson wants to be Huge”
Harry blushed and nodded shyly staring at the ground. Sirius laughed in amusement
“Oh Prongslet, don’t worry i'm fine with it, I just can’t wait to see what my Godson looks like with a big squishy belly, you’ll look so cute with a big bag of pudding for a belly” Teased Sirius
Harry blushed furiously and started softly hitting sirius on the head “Padfoot, stop embarrassing me”
James, Lily and Sirius laughed at Harry's embarrassment. Lily smiled before looking at James and Harry.
“James, we have to talk to Harry about the cleansing ritual.”
A somber mood formed over the group. Sirius cleared his throat “I’ll leave you guys to it then, James if you need me i’ll be a black manor.”
James nodded and saw Sirius out, when he returned the family started.
Lily spoke “ Harry and your father spoke to Poppy yesterday about the Horcrux and the ritual to remove it.”
Harry looked nervous before asking them to continue
“Poppy said that the ritual may lead you to be injured while the soul is fighting to stay in your scar. What she said is that the higher concentration your body has the better chance the soul shard will be pushed out before it can hurt you.” said Lily
Harry nodded looking at his parents then speaking “So how do I increase my magic concentration? I really don’t want that thing to hurt me when it's being removed.”
James smiled dryly before answering “Poppy basically told us the larger a body is the higher magic concentration it has, me and your mother found it similar to how larger dragons have more inherent power than smaller ones. Poppy said that since you aren’t going to get taller for a while the only other way is for you to get extremely fat. We just wanted to know what you plan to do about it. We know you want to get fat and accept the contract that enables this, but are you going to do something else?”
Harry gaped at his parents before speaking “Really? I mean I’m already going to be doing that because of the contract but..” Harry looked unsure before steeling himself “if that will help with the ritual I guess i’m going to get even bigger than I thought.”
Harry looked at his concave middle before looking at his parents. “Mum, Dad? During the Holidays can we, I don’t know, up the potency of two of the potions I am going to take for the contract?”
Lily and James looked amused at their son's reaction to the news before Lily spoke “Alright honey, what did you have in mind?”
Harry looked nervous before speaking “I was thinking of doubling the potency of the stomach stretcher and the appetite enhancer for the two holiday breaks from school. That way I can still meet the minimum of the contract but actually go over the minimum by quite a lot. That way I can guarantee that My body's magic concentration is the highest it can be for when we do the cleaning ritual at Gringotts.”
James and Lily looked at each other before turning back to their son and nodding in agreement. One because it would help with the ritual and two because Harry looked thrilled with the idea of getting even larger.
“Alright Prongslet, now what do you want to do during the holidays, cause we would like to spend time with you.” James smiled teasingly “You can’t just stuff yourself the entire time you home with us.”
Harry blushed and smiled “I know. Maybe we can bond by setting up decor and things like that. I can bake or cook with Mum, it’s something I love to do.”
James smiled and nodded “that wouldn’t have anything to do with being able to snack while baking, does it munchkin.”
Harry blushed “Maybe” he said shyly
Lily and James laughed before hugging their son and planning to take him to get his school things, and a new magical and muggle wardrobe.
