Having Sirius around was proving to be more helpful than Harry thought. Listening the stories about his parents time at Hogwarts, did make the place a little bearable. Sirius also helped him with dueling and flying. Even though Harry had already defeated all the statues at Peverell manor, dueling with a human was a new experience. Sirius also played wizard games with him and for once Harry could act like a child.

Harry - C'mon Padfoot, you have to talk to Moony

Sirius - stop whining Harry and when you reply to the numerous letters by our great professor Dumbledore, then I will surely reply to Remus

Harry - you know that's different right. That old bitch left me with the Dursleys

Sirius - and Remus believed I would betray James and Lily. He left me to rot in Azkaban Harry. He thought I could do it

Seeing Sirius so emotional was rare to Harry. He has always been the fun and mischievous godfather to him. But losing all of his friends in one night wasn't easy on him and now that he has finally found happiness, he didn't want to dig up old wounds.

Harry - ok Siri, you don't have to do it now

Sirius - thankyou for understanding Prongslet. Now your birthday is coming, what's the plan?

Harry - let's have a huge party and invite all the prominent members of wizarding society even the neutral and dark families to prove the changing sides of Potter clan

Sirius - we should hold this party in Potter castle to remind people the power of Potter house. It seems like they have forgotten the wrath of Charles Potter

Harry - and before all this, I need to gain the most shares of Daily Prophet so that they don't publish any rubbish to manipulate people

Sirius - it would be tough kid. Daily Prophet has always been in grasps of the ministry. No one else has ever been able to aquire it

Harry - I know Siri, I know. But you're forgetting how vicious Goblin race can be

Both Harry and Sirius smirked at this. Harry went and wrote the letter to Sharptooth and ordered the Elves to start preparing his birthday.

2 days later

Harry was sitting on his bedroom window trying to organise his mind using occlumency when he heard the tap on his window. There was an old grey owl waiting for him. He took the letter from it without hesitation as Peverell manor's wards insured that no tempered or harmful mail can reach him. He opened the letter

Dear Harry,
You might not know me, but I am Molly Weasley but you can call me aunt. You must be so lonely with only the company of your ill godfather. So I invite you to join me in my lovely home today for dinner. I am sure you will be great friends with my son Ron. He is of your age and will be starting Hogwarts soon. You both will be in Gryffindor obviously so why not be friends. You will surely find my daughter Ginny charming. She is a sweet girl so please talk to her. We can also talk about where and how you live, nobody knows where you are so it must not be a good place. Your relatives are also worried about you. See you at dinner Harry.

Molly Weasley

Harry couldn't decide whether to laugh or get angry by this letter.

Harry's POV :-

This woman is crazy. Wait till Sirius sees how she thinks about him. She thinks I WILL BE IN GRYFFINDOR 🤣🤣. No doubt it was a good house at the time of founder's but now it's just full of babbling idiots. Why would I even talk to her daughter. It looks like she is trying to set me up with her and Peverell manor isn't a good place? wait till she knows that this is the best manor in whole Britain. And ofc my relatives must miss me very much. But..... wait a minute, how does SHE know about my relatives? This is surely that old bitch's plan. He must want me to make friends of his choice. That old wrinkled fool, I  need to do show him that he can't control me anymore.

POV ends

Harry composed himself and started writing his reply, fully knowing that the old coot would be reading it.

Lady of the ancient house of weasly

Thankyou for your offer but I would like to politely decline. I already have plans with my absolutely fine godfather.  I am sure your son Ronny (was it?) and daughter Ginny are as charming as you. I will surely see them at Hogwarts. We will PROBABLY be roommates. I am perfectly happy where I live so you guys don't have to worry about me. Tell hi to my lovely relatives

Proud of his work, harry ran to show both the letter to his Siri.

Harry - look what came by mail today

Sirius took the letter and started reading it

Sirius - this bitch!!! What does she mean by "ill godfather" pathetic woman. And YOU? A Gryffindor? Is this a sick joke

Harry - I think the old meddling fool hasn't realised that I am not his lamb but I'll be the tiger who bites his neck. See my reply

Sirius - This is hilarious harry. Molly and Dumbledore will be red in anger when they read it. I so wish we could see it.

Both Harry and sirius laughed like no tomorrow imagining dumbledore's reaction
