Harry looked at Sirius across the table. He was close to crying. In between them was Harry's nimbus two thousand, and his new broom servicing kit. After he received the broom servicing kit it had hit him that he wasn't able to fly a broom anymore since he had become a vampire. Harry had almost cried and the more he thought about it.
"Hey how bout we help you transform into your animal form." Sirius said trying to steer harry away from the fact that he'd never ride a broom again.
"Sure we can do that." Harry said almost brokenly.
"Its not that bad Harry." Sirius said desperately. "Vampires can fly without brooms. You'll just need practice, that's all."
Harry looked at Sirius for any sign of deception, but finding none he nodded mutely.
"Well you seem to be able to access your form indirectly so I am guessing that this is because you became a vampire. Now if I'm right and you just need to focus then I need you to focus on a wolf. Picture it in your head. The height color weight everything." Sirius said watching harry close his eyes and begin trying to picture what he was told.
"Do you see it?" he asked slowly.
"yeah." Harry said softly with a hint of awe in his voice.
"Keep that wolf in your mind and try to think about becoming it. Feel the fur growing on your body. The feel of the tail growing out of your spine." Sirius said hypnotically. He continued on and talked harry through the process. Soon harry was gone. In his place was a four feet tall six and a half feet long black wolf. Its eyes were a luminous version of Harry's own emerald ones. Its paws were the size of softballs. And it pearly white teeth were reminiscent of a chainsaw.
"That was very good Harry very good indeed." Sirius said walking around inspecting the wolf for any flaws. "Now I need you to use the same process to change back."
It took a bit longer to get back to his human form but he was happy to say that it had felt awesome. Sirius congratulated harry on being able to do something that very few adults could. Then he had Harry transform back into a wolf, before leading Harry to the door and opening it to allow harry out. Once the two were out of the house Sirius turned into his dog form and motioned harry to follow him. Sirius then took off like a bolt of black lightning. Harry took off after him and the two ran through the streets of London. It was amusing to see so many people freak out when Sirius ran past with harry hot on his heels. It was the most fun harry had had since the end of his Hogwarts term.
They raced through the streets of London until Sirius decided that they needed something to eat. He transformed back to his human form, before watching harry do the same. With a quick glamour harry walked in with Sirius currently looking like James Potter to the casual observer. Sirius ordered himself a bacon cheese burger and a large plate of fries as well as a tall glass for harry. When the glass showed up, along with a coke for Sirius, Sirius made sure no one was looking and opened a vein in his wrist and bled into Harry's glass. Harry quickly brought the steaming coppery delight to his bluish lips and drank deeply. He moaned out in absolute ecstasy. Sirius watched bemused before casting an everfull charm on the glass which kept filling it in with more blood as harry drank it.
"So you know most of my life and I know most of your's what do you like to do for fun?" Sirius asked as he waited for his food to arrive.
"I like to hang out with Hermione and Ron. I like to talk to Hagrid. He's a good guy but sometimes I think that he's so devoted to Dumbledore that he can't see his faults." Harry said a bit annoyed.
"What do you mean?" Sirius asked confused.
"I mean when I first got to Hogwarts I had to go see madam Pomphrey because I ate too much and got sick. I hadn't even eaten a plateful of food. She noticed the scars and the malnutrition right away. She said she would tell Dumbledore. Nothing ever got done." Harry said between sips of the hot salty liquid. He giggled at that. Sirius raised an eyebrow inquisitively.
"I'm drinking your hot salty body fluid." Harry said with a maniacal grin. Sirius' eyes widened and he began to sputter his protest while blushing ferociously. Harry began laughing madly.
"And what exactly are you laughing at?" Sirius huffed.
"I pranked a marauder so hard he blushed!" harry laughed happily. Sirius gazed at the maniacally vampire child incredulously. Then he broke out in a wide grin before he too began to laugh.
They continued talking about the faults of the great dumbledork for a while till Sirius' food. Sirius ate like a ravenous beast. After he had devoured his food, which included another burger and a large shake ordered when the first was done, they left the restaurant.
The two changed back into their animal forms and ran through the streets for the rest of the night. They traveled at top speed through the streets, till they got back to grimauld place. Harry had to admit by the end he was having the best day-er night of his life. He took a quick shower and put on a long black cotton skirt that had bondage straps hanging off it in many places. He put on a black long sleeve shirt that hand holes in the sleeves for his thumbs. The only part of his skin the actually showed from the shirt was his tiny fingers. His hair still damp from the shower hung over his eyes. He looked over at the mirror and smiled. He liked how he looked.
He climbed into bed as he could feel the sun coming up and knew he was about to be dead to the world. He thought about the night and smiled happily. He didn't often get to be happy; he had to say even if the means for him becoming a vampire hadn't been that pleasant he was at least glad it had happened.

Albus Dumbledore arrived at the burrow just as the sun came up. He was the very picture of grandfatherly pain. He was walking slow and hunched over. He seemed slightly lost and not sure what to do. However this was all an act. He knew very well that Arthur Weasley and his wife Molly were in the kitchen and could see him. They could feel the droves of power he processed as soon as he entered the grounds. He could feel them as well but that didn't matter. He made his way to the door only for it to open before he could knock.
"Professor whatever is the matter?" molly asked as she took in his forlorn countenance.
"The Dursley's were brutally murdered by a witch or wizard who used muggle means to burn down their house. Harry is nowhere to be found and all the monitoring charms on him have failed. I fear that Sirius black has gotten to the boy somehow." Dumbledore said his voice heavy with grief.
Molly shrieked before passing out only to be caught by Arthur. "Are you sure Albus?"
"Alas I truly don't know. I can only assume as to what nefarious plans black has in mind. But you know before he escaped he was heard mumbling 'he's at Hogwarts' in his sleep." Albus said playing on the other man's worries. Albus knew Sirius would never harm harry but he couldn't be allowed to be around harry for the greater good. "If you receive any correspondence from harry please let me know."
Arthur nodded dumbly. He worked on his wife as Albus' broken form retreated from the house. He apperated away, before he lost control of his face. Sometimes trying to manipulate everything to go your way.
