Carefree Playing And an Reluctant Admission
Sirius was pacing across his room, waiting for Remus to return. The waiting was endless. It seemed like it had been hours since he left, but in reality it had been only a few minutes Sirius looked at the clock, it had only been 23 minutes. It would be a while until Remus got home. Sirius scowled, trying to think of something to do while waiting for Remus to return. It was agonizing that he could not come with his friend, but as a convicted murder the students who had stayed at Hogwarts might me a little freaked out by the sight of him. At least, Harry was here with him and not still at school as he had been for the last four years.
Speaking of his godson, he hadn't spoken to him since the confrontation in his bedroom. Well, Sirius thought, I might as well spend some time with Harry until Remus returns.
Sirius wandered around the house looking for Harry. He finally found him in, you would never believe it, his room. He knocked on the door and opened it after hearing Harry's come in. Sirius entered the room and surveyed the room. Harry looked up from the book he was reading and looked at his godfather, obviously remembering, as Sirius had their last encounter.
"Hey, Harry," Sirius greeted.
"Hi Sirius," Harry responded, wondering if this conversation would go the same way as the last.
"Watcha readin?" Sirius asked trying to be pleasant.
Harry glanced down at his book, "Quittich through the Ages."
Sirius chuckled, "Thats the only book I would read when I was fifteen. Moony had to force me to actually read a textbook."
Harry joined in Sirius' laugh. It felt good to laugh with his godfather after everything that had happened.
"Well," Harry responded teasingly, "I must say I'm impressed. I wouldn't have thought you could actually get through a book."
Sirius pretended to pout, "Hey! I'll have you know I am an excellent reader. I just don't choose too."
Harry snorted, "Of course, Sirius. I'm am an excellent archer. I just don't choose too."
Sirius pretended to hide behind a pillow, "If you're as good of a archer then I am a reader, I'm never letting you near the bow and arrow upstairs!"
Harry pretended to leave to go get it. "Hey!" Sirius cried, "Were are you going?"
Harry laughed, "To go get it to practice!"
"Oh no you don't!"
Sirius playfully grabbed Harry and tickled him until Harry was begging him to stop, laughing uncontrollably They played like that for a while, both happy to have something carefree to do. Both of them had been through a lot.
They looked up when the heard someone clear his throat. It was Remus. Until that moment Sirius had forgotten the fact that Remus was gone.
"Hey Padfoot. Can I talk to you for a moment?" Remus asked.
"Sure, "Sirius replied, "I'll be right back, Harry." Harry nodded and Sirius followed Remus upstairs to his bedroom AKA the official meeting place.
"Dumbledore will do nothing." Remus stated simply.
"WHAT?" Sirius cried, "How can he do this? And to Harry? How could he?"
Remus tried to calm his anger, "I don't know. But if we can't do this the official way, you know how we have to do it."
Sirius allowed a small smile on his face, "The marauder way."
Remus smiled as well, "Yep."
"Well what are we waiting for lets start planning!" Sirius cried.
As they were making up evil plans to use against the toad, Sirius looked up, "We're going to need inside help," He sated.
"I have someone." Remus stated. This was the moment he had been afraid of.
"Who?" Sirius asked, "The twins?"
Remus gulped," No. Snape."
"WHAT?"
