Sirius followed Jonathon to his office with Harry in his arms. Harry fell asleep, however. Sirius was glad when he saw his little Godson sleeping in his arms. Jonathon looked at Sirius and said:
"How old is he?" Sirius looked at him and said back:
"Five. He's…. He's…...five," Sirius cleared his throat. "Sorry…...Sorry about that…. I have a hard time…speaking now," Sirius said. This was the first time he said this to someone other the Remus. Jonathon nodded sadly.
"That's okay Mr. Black," he said as they walked into his office. Jonathon motioned Sirius to sit down, Sirius sighed and sat down at the desk. "You were wondering about the boy's relatives?" Sirius nodded.
"A friend told me I need to. I also need to tell someone that I'm Harry's legal guardian. What is going to happen…to Harry's…. Harry's uncle?" Sirius asked after he coughed and cleared his throat. Jonathon nodded and said:
"Both his aunt and uncle will be going to jail and as for you being his legal guardian, I would need to see your papers," Sirius nodded and stood.
"I…. I don't have them on me. They…. they are back at my house," Sirius said as he looked at the door. Jonathon nodded.
"That's ok. Can I have the name of his parents?" He asked. Sirius let out a sad sigh and said:
"James and Lily Potter," Sirius said sadly. Jonathon nodded.
"When did they…..."
"Her…Harry was one…it's a long…long story," Sirius said as he stood up.
After the meeting with Jonathon, Sirius went to the hospital. He knows that he needs to get his voice checked out. He knows that they already did but he would still like to get it checked out. Sirius walked down the road and then into an alleyway. Then he left with a pop. Harry woke when Sirius appeared at the hospital. Sirius took a breath and walked up to the front desk. "Hello…. I'm…...My name is…" Sirius cleared his throat. The man at the desk looked at him and nodded.
"What happened? You don't need to say your name," Sirius sighed and said:
"I…I have been having….as you can tell…problems with my…. Speech. Do…...do you think…I can…...can get it…...it looked at. Also, I have been having trouble sleeping," Sirius took a breath and looked at his Godson in his arms. The man nodded.
"Of course. I do need your name," Sirius nodded and said:
"Sirius Black," Sirius said with a smile.
"Ok Mr. Black fill this out," Sirius nodded and walked over to a chair with a sigh.
"Are you ok Siri?" Harry asked as he rubbed his eyes. Sirius looked up and nodded.
"Yes…yes pup. I'm just going to get my voice checked out…...Did you hear…...that there is something…...wrong with my voice," Sirius said as he ruffled Harry's black hair. Harry giggled and looked up at his Godfather.
"Your voice sounds fine Siri," Harry said as he looked at the paper in Sirius's lap. Sirius smiled at him and then continued to work on the paper.
"Sirius," Sirius looked up at the healer that called his name.
"Come on Harry," Sirius said to the boy even though he was in his arms.
"Hello, Sirius? right?" Sirius nodded at the healer, but he did not say anything. "You have been having issues with your speaking and nightmares?" The healer asked. Sirius nodded. He did not want to speak at the moment, but he knew that he had too. "Mr. Black, you know I need to hear your voice. If I don't then I don't know what is wrong with it," Sirius sighed and said:
"Alright…. your right…I'm sorry…Bloody Azkaban…...That's why my…...my voice is…is messed up…. I was in Azkaban for five years…...I'm innocent though," Sirius sat down in a chair. Then healer nodded.
"I see. Do you have nightmares because of it as well?" Sirius nodded as he held Harry closer.
"Yes," he breathed as he looks around nervously. The healer nodded as he pulled out his wand.
"I'm going to check your throat alright?" Sirius nodded nervously again. Harry watched as the healer took his wand and muttered something under his breath as he shined it down Sirius's throat. The healer hums and said: "Yes. There is something wrong with your voice. Fear not young lord Black. You can fix it. As for your nightmares. I'm not sure," Sirius nodded.
"How, How can…. I get my….my voice…back?" Sirius asked as he ran a hand through Harry's hair.
"You can come here. I will be glad to help you," Sirius smiled at this and then looked at Harry who smiled at him.
"Thank…...Thank you," Sirius said as he stood. The healer stood also. He then held out his hand. Sirius took it and nodded. "Right, come on pup…. let's go out to eat," Sirius said with a smile to his Godson. Harry smiled back as he left the room.
Sirius took Harry to a small little diner. Harry was nervous to be there. Sirius could see it in his eyes. However, Sirius was also nervous. Sirius walked in and carried Harry to a table. Sirius set Harry down and then sat down himself. "What…...What do you want to eat Harry?" Sirius asked as he put his menu down to look at Harry. Harry looked at him with fear in his green eyes. Sirius sighed. "Well let me help you," Sirius said with a smile. Harry smiled back and listened to his Godfather read to him about what he should eat.
Sirius and Harry ate in silence. Sirius loved this silence though. He does not really know why. Harry felt the same. It was nice. He liked Sirius. he was nice and kind to him. Harry could not wait to meet this Remus Lupin. Sirius tells him that he was a friend of his father and his friend also. Sirius watched his Godson with a sense of sadness and happiness inside. 'James, I hope your watching. Your son is so sweet. He looks like you but sorry to say this but he's just like his mother. I wish you could see how brave he is. Just like his father and his mother.' Sirius got lost in his thoughts that he did not see the waiter calling to him:
"Sir. Would you guys like dessert?" Sirius looked at her and then looked at Harry.
"What do you think Harry?" Sirius asked with a smile. Harry looked at him and smiled
"Yes, is that ok Siri?" Harry asked voice quiet and soft. Sirius nodded.
"Then yes we would love to have some," the waiter smiled and walked away. When she came back Sirius laughed at his Godson's eyes as they grew wide at the sight of the dessert in front of him.
"Is this for me?" Harry asked in a cute voice. Sirius nodded as he started to eat. Harry did the same. The two fell quiet again. It was a nice silence, it always is, and Sirius would not have it any other way.
A/N: Thank you all. If you are still reading. Anyway, tell me what you think. I'm sorry if I have not been working on this story. I just have so many stories that I'm trying to write at the same time. I know I say that all the time, but it just happens that I want to say it in every story. Well, see you next time- Captain Voxland.
