"Harry, Sirius, we are going to be late" Remus Lupin said in exasperation
"One minute" Sirius and Harry groaned in unison. They were playing Quidditch in the garden of number 12 Grimmuald place.
About 10 minutes later Sirius and Harry still weren't finished.
"Sirius" Remus yelled, though he instantly regretted it.
"FILTHY MUDBLOODS…" Sirius's mother began screaming. The screaming reached the garden and Sirius and Harry knew it was time to go. It was Harry's first year at Hogwarts and he was very excited but he would really miss Sirius and Remus .He had lived with them ever since his parents died when he was one and he had never spent the night away from them.
Sirius bent down and picked up the daily prophet which was delivered to their door every day. As he handed it to Remus, Remus couldn't help but pat him on the head and say:
"Good boy"
Sirius just scowled. Harry hid his smirk from his godfather. They were going to kings cross station where they would meet Harry's friend Ron, who was also going to Hogwarts this year, and his family. The Weasleys and Harry's family knew each other well because they had all been in the order of the Phoenix when the first war was taking place.
Sirius was going to take Harry on his motorbike and Remus was planning on apparating. As they waved goodbye to Lupin, Harry and Sirius mounted the motorbike and off they went.
As they arrived at the barrier between platform 9 and 10, Harry saw Remus standing with the Weasleys.
"RON!" Harry yelled racing towards him. He grabbed hold of Ron and hugged tight before saying hello to the other Weasleys.
"You alright mate? Oh you came on the motorbike, wicked." Ron looked impressed, he was secretly jealous of Harry because he lived with Sirius and Remus who were more like friends than parents. He loved sleeping over and playing Quidditch. Together both families made their way over to the barrier and one by one casually slipped through. There it was. Red, gleaming and massive; The Hogwarts Express. Harry and Ron had seen it of course, they often came to see the older Weasley children off but they had never boarded it.
Whilst the Weasleys all said their goodbye, Harry, Lupin and Sirius all looked at each other. A tear leaked from Harry's eyes.
"Oi, man up" Lupin smiled.
"I'll miss you guys" Harry's voice began to quiver. Sirius blinked back his own tears.
"Nah you won't, you'll be having too much fun. By the way have you got the cloak? And the map?"
Harry nodded. He suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Lupin and Sirius and hugged them.
"How touching." A tall pale man with long blonde hair was smirking.
"Watch it Malfoy." Sirius barked.
"Sirius…"Remus warned
"Yes Lupin, do control your… boyfriend." And with that Lucius Malfoy turned and arrogantly walked towards the train.
Both Sirius and Remus went red, with anger and embarrassment. Harry just laughed.
"Boyfriend… you two… as if." Harry was struggling to breathe.
"Go on scamp, you'll miss the train. We'll see you at half term". Harry sprinted off towards the train with Ron in tow. As the train began to move out of view, both men were choked.
"Come on lets go home." Sirius said
