The Boy Who…

Chapter one: Disappeared?!
"Hagrid, please give me Harry, Lily and James made me his legal guardian," Sirius Black pleaded with the half-giant.
"Strict orders by Dumbledore to bring 'im to Surry," Hagrid boomed.
"Hagrid listen I know how Voldemort (Hagrid shuddered) got into Lily and James' they can even test me under Veritaserum, just give me my godson," Sirius was now hysterical.
"Tell me how You-Know…" Hagrid trailed off as his memory kicked in, "You were the secret keeper, you're the reaso' Lily an' James ar' dea'," Hagrid boomed.
"NO," Sirius said frantically, "but I may as well be," Sirius said with a sob.
"What'r' ya talkin' 'bout?" asked the half-giant curiously.
"I suggested Lily and James switch the secret keeper to Wormtail, he's the reason they're gone, they even put it in a letter, in their vault, so the Goblins could retrieve it with their wills, Hagrid they thought it was either me or Remus in league with Voldemort, so they switched to…Little…Innocent…Peter…Pettigrew," Sirius had trouble spitting his words out properly.
"How 'bout me an' you mee' Dumbledor' in Surry and fetch tha' letter firs'," suggested Hagrid smartly.
"How are we getting there?" Sirius asked.
"How do 'ya think were gettin' th're?" asked Hagrid tapping his umbrella happily.
"I've got a better idea," Sirius said pointing to his motorcycle Hagrid looked skeptical.
"But Siriu' theres' onl' enoug' room for you or me," he said.
"I'll follow you Hagrid, give me Harry and I'll follow you to number four privet drive," Sirius convinced Hagrid to hand over the small child, as soon as Sirius saw Hagrid fly quickly away, Sirius hopped on his motorcycle and drove through the air as fast as he could while still holding Harry safely. Sirius knew everyone thought he was the secret keeper, but he wasn't and Dumbledore and the Wizgamont would for sure throw him straight to Azkaban prison. Sirius drove to the closest place he could think of his best mate Remus' home.
"I'm coming," said a voice from the other side of the door, Sirius heard a deadbolt, and a chain lock come undone. "Oh Sirius, are you babysitting?" Remus asked, apparently not knowing the news yet.
"Uh…Moony, do you have any Veritaserum?" Sirius asked curiously.
"I always keep a full bottle, you know that right?" Remus asked him.
"Uh…yea, we need to go quickly though, before Dumbledore shows up," Sirius sounded nervous, but handed Sirius the bottle of Veritaserum; Sirius just took a swig instead of the needed five drops.
"Well this is interesting, why do you have Harry with you and why are you acting like a maniac?" Remus asked.
"Lily and James are…are gone," Sirius stuttered under Veritaserum.
"But that would mean you sold them out to Voldemort," Remus shouted calming down, "were you the secret keeper?" Remus asked.
"No," Sirius answered.
"Who was then, they had me convinced it was you," Remus said shocked.
"Peter John Pettigrew," Sirius answered.
"Wormtail???" Remus roared.
"Yes, now we need to go, do you have any anti-Veritaserum?" Sirius answered.
"Yes, here," Remus said, nearly gagging when Sirius took another large swig of it. "I just don't get why they told me it was you," Remus said.
"I convinced them to switch to Peter, 'cause Lily an' James thought it was you," Sirius sobbed.
"It doesn't matter Siri' we gotta go before Dumbledore shows up," Remus said, "you know he still despises you for lighting his beard on fire in our second year," Remus said with a chuckle, apparently his best friends being dead, didn't exactly sink in yet.
"It's still not as long as it was in our second year," Sirius said thoughtfully.
"Hermione," shouted Remus, a girl with bushy brown hair came running into the room.
"Moony?" asked the girl, who was just a few months older than Harry making her two. "Harry," said the girl goggling at the boy with Sirius,
"Go pack, we're going to go see your sister okay," asked Remus.
"Otey Moony," she said giving hugging him around the middle.
KNOCK KNOCKRemus pulled out his wand and zoomed everything from the house into a large trunk grabbed Hermione, and motioned for Sirius to follow him. Remus brought him to the garage, where Sirius had thankfully parked his bike. "Portus," Remus whispered, the motorbike glowed blue for a moment. "Grab on," he said, Remus and Sirius grabbed a handlebar of the motorcycle and disappeared in time to see a bunch of Aurors and Dumbledore as they entered the garage.
"Damnit," shouted Kingsly Shackbolk as he saw Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin disappear on a large motorcycle.
"Alert the media," Dumbledore ordered, at once everyone aparated away.
"Where are we Moony?" asked Sirius.
"Tracey," Remus called.
"Yes dear?" said a womans voice.
"We have to leave, now," he said urgently pulling his girlfriend to the bike, in a blink of an eye they disappeared again, this time to somewhere only Remus recognized.
"Where are we now Moony?" Sirius groaned, looking around and recognizing nothing.
"Florida," Remus answered.
"Is this a vacation?" Tracey asked grinning at Remus.
"Nope we're going to live here, as a family, as soon as we find a house we can move out of the hotel," Remus said.
"Why are we moving to America anyway?" asked Tracey.
"Dumbledore thinks Sirius was the secret keeper, but it was Peter," Remus explained.
"Does that mean, James and Lily are…?" Tracey stopped herself from crying; Lily had been her best friend since their first year at Hogwarts. Any thoughts of James and Lily were cut off by Harry's sharp wailing.
"What is it Harry?" asked Sirius.
"Pa'foot, hungy," cried the one and a quarter year old.
"My baby Harry, is hungry, here you go," Sirius said conjuring a bottle with milk in it, warmed perfectly.
"If Dumbledore thinks Sirius was guilty we need to be disguised until Sirius is proven innocent, he'll have hit-men searching for Sirius," Tracey said, she pulled out her wand and put a glamour charm on herself, now instead of having blonde hair she had brown hair like Remus and her sister Hermione. She looked at Remus and sighed, his robes were changed into something fancy, which happened to be muggle, his hair was turned a bit darker, and she made him look good with a dark tan. For Hermione, since Dumbledore knew nothing about her, she just made her hair a bit lighter than Remus' but darker than her own. She turned to Sirius, his would be the most difficult, she waved her wand, and gave Harry dark brown hair, and she looked at his scar and hid it carefully under glamour. She glamour-ed his eyes giving him steely gray eyes, that made her shudder to look at. Looking at Sirius she gave his brown hair blonde tips, changed his eye color to steely gray, like Harry's, and conjured a pair of glasses, she handed them to Sirius, who looked disappointed, but put them on anyway. She gave him muggle clothes, and then she waved her wand at herself getting rid of the yellow work uniform and replacing it with muggle clothes.
The next morning Sirius brought Harry and Hermione to the super-market apparently they needed food instead of hotel food, and take-out, Sirius saw no logic in Tracey and Remus, who doesn't love take-out? In the checkout line, they couldn't get Sirius' bankcard to work, so they called down the manager, who Sirius recognized.
"Darien McIntyre?" Sirius questioned quietly, the dark skinned woman promptly dropped the card.
"How do you know me?" she asked.
"Can I talk to you in private for a moment?" Sirius asked.
"Sure," she said looking skeptical, but pulled Sirius, Harry, and Hermione into the back room instructing the clerk to shut off the open line, and she would be right back. "Care to explain?"
"Darien it's me Sirius," he said.
"Sirius," she said happily, "How'd you find me, dad said if he ever saw you again he'd kill you, so we moved to Florida last year, after little Harry was born, I didn't know you had kids," she said gesturing to Harry and Hermione.
"This is Remus', girlfriends, sister, and this is Harry, under glamour," Sirius explained.
"But how do I know it's really you?" asked Darien.
"Ask me a question that only Sirius Orion Black would know," Sirius suggested.
"Okay, when is the first time we kissed?" she asked.
"Over Christmas Holidays of our first year, when a third year dared me, it was on the eve of Christmas I do believe," Sirius said in a sly voice, "got any others?" he asked.
"Okay, what day did you graduate?" she asked.
"August, 7th 1982," Sirius answered, "because I failed my Divination, and muggle studies N.E.W.T.'s" he said.
"I'm pleased, but what are you doing in Florida?" she asked.
"Uh yea, come to the Florida Street Inn, I'm in room 302, with Remus, and Tracey, we're staying until we can find a place to live, you see…actually I've got to get going, could I pay you in galleons and you can pay American money, my Gringotts card isn't working," Sirius said.
"See you around, have a nice day," said Darien, then she walked Sirius out to his car, which had been purchased earlier that day, and "apologized for the wait", "I'll see you
"Um I don't have to work tomorrow so, Sirius, can I use you bank card to buy the place, and we can renovate tomorrow probably using all magic," Darien said, as they realized how late it was. Sirius pulled out his bank card and kissed her lightly, something that both of them had missed in the previous year, they had kept in touch by owl, but apparently her father had complete control over her, until just one week ago, when he died.
Sirius sat bolt right in his bed; Harry was screaming bloody murder, in the middle of the night. "Mama, mama," he cried.
"Hush, hush, it's okay green-eyes," Sirius whispered into the child's ear, "mama is safe, she's watching you right now," it broke Sirius' heart to see the small boy tremble so badly waking from horrific nightmares of Voldemort murdering his mother. So Sirius held onto the screaming child until he quit, without warning the two fell asleep on the couch in a muggle hotel. "Hello," Sirius heard Remus' voice answer the hotel phone.
"Okay we'll be right down," he heard Remus say. With glamour's intact the three adults and two children made their way down to the hotel lobby, to find Darien McIntyre sitting on the couch watching the morning news. Sirius quickly handed Harry to Remus and ran over to her.
"Hey Siri," Darien said softly hugging him tightly, Sirius kissed her on the head and held onto her tight.
"You have no idea how much I missed you Dar," Sirius said into her hair, "and the verdict is?" he asked.
"I got it," Darien said with a grin.
"Yay," Remus said clapping Harry's hands, the small boy giggled happily as his hands were being clapped. Tracey scooped up Hermione and spun around happily, "ready to go home green-eyes?" Remus asked.
"Ya," Harry said, clapping his hands together happily.
"How about you 'Mione?" asked Tracey to her younger sister.
"Ya," the little girl said, copying Harry.
"Okay lets go," Darien said.
"I'll be right there," Sirius said, accepting the bankcard from Darien, he walked to the front desk and paid for the hotel room, leaving a generous tip to the manager. The group left the hotel after collecting their things from upstairs and cleaning up, magically of course, they arrived at the duplex several minutes later, Sirius and Harry taking the bike, following Darien, Tracey, Remus, and Hermione who were in the car ahead of them. They arrived at a large rusty orange colored Duplex, Remus who had just stepped out of the car looked like he was about to puke; apparently he was the carsick type. Harry walked clumsily around following Hermione who was parading around the house; Darien, Sirius, Tracey, and Remus were making simple changes and fixing every little thing in the house. Sirius waved his wand and knocked out the wall separating the duplex, now they just had one large house.
"Cissy," said Sirius seeing his cousin Narcissa and his other cousin Draco (2 ¼ ) in Florida was one thing, but them not being with Lucius was another.
"Siri," said Narcissa recognizing her cousin's voice, Sirius nodded, "SIRI please take Draco," she pleaded with him.
"Why?" he asked when the small boy looked up at Sirius in fear.
"It's Lucius he's on trial if he gets out of this he will kill Draco for turning him in, please SIRI keep my baby safe," said Narcissa, Sirius just shrugged and agreed.
"Blood contract that will make him my son in case Lucius searches for him," Sirius suggested.
"I Narcissa Marie Patricia Alexandra Black Malfoy give you my son as your son," she said making a gash appear on her hand.
"I Sirius Orion Black take your son for my son," said Sirius a similar gash appeared in Sirus' hand and the two-shook hands making the wounds close and a light flash.
"Draco," said Narcissa to her son, he nodded fearfully, "behave for your daddy okay?" she asked a tear escaping her face, Draco looked at Sirius, and then back to his mother, and nodded. "Go on now Draco, be a good boy have fun with your brother and sister," she said. Draco nodded again and took Sirius' hand fearfully. Sirius picked up the small boy carefully so he didn't get frightened. Sirius then aparated soundlessly back to the duplex, Remus, Tracey, and Darien all ran into the room. Draco screamed and buried his head into Sirius' shirt and cried. Remus gave Sirius a skeptical look, as did Darien.
"Hey guys," said Sirius, "this is Draco he's going to be living with us," said Sirius trying to calm the screaming boy. "Narcissa was walking the streets, and she gave him to me and said keep him from Lucius, and left," said Sirius.
"Daddy," said Draco tearfully.
"Yes Draco?" asked Sirius in hopes of calming him.
"Daddy," he repeated clinging to Sirius, "me love daddy," he said in the best sentence a two year old could speak.
"Daddy loves Draco," Sirius said, Draco fell asleep in Sirius' arms and Harry put them in the room where Hermione and Harry were napping, he put the small malnourished boy between the two, but then thought better of it and picked him back up and held him tight.
