Warning: Silly? Innuendoes? Can't tell of what since it would ruin the whole thing… So would the title.

I blame challenge 15 in the Memory Room

The Brain of Sirius Black - Eleonora's Challenges;

15) A sudden declaration of love takes Sirius by surprise.

"I love you!"

Sirius blinked in astonishment as he watched Harry fall down on his knees in one of the rooms in Grimmauld Place.

"I know that I shouldn't… That it is wrong! But I can't help it! No! I won't deny my feelings anymore!"

Surprised, Sirius watched his godson as the boy was down on all fours, obviously fighting hard not to cry.

"We could… we could keep it a secret… no one would know." Harry whispered.

Sirius silently asked himself if he should say something.

"Not that I'm ashamed! I don't care what people think about me – about us!" Harry's voice was thick with passion and defiance. "I'm not going to lie about my true feelings to anyone! But… If no one asks… If no one finds out…"

Harry made an anguished cry. Sirius wanted to walk up to the boy, maybe put a comforting hand on his shoulder, but decided it was best to stay put and say nothing.

"It's just – all the attention I get – sometimes it feels like I can't go to the men's room without having to read about it in The Prophet the next day… I'm tired of people judging me! I don't want people telling me that my love is wrong! That this is wrong!"

Harry sat up and reached for his Firebolt. He held it lovingly in his hands.

"I don't care what they say," Harry whispered. "I love you."

Sirius silently closed the door and walked away. Maybe he could use this as proof to Dumbledore that the house did drive people insane. But then again, maybe not – after all, James had been like that too. Sirius scratched his head. Perhaps it was time for him to sit down with Harry and talk about Locking- and Silencing charms...
