Chapter 10: Official Papers
* * * * *
Draco: I hate this chapter.
MoonStar: Why?
DM: Because Harry is happy in it.
MS: That's mean.
Harry Potter: *far away* HEY!
DM: *muffled laugh*
MS: What was that?!?
DM: I made the papers disintegrate.
MS: That's just mean!

The story says that Black was cornered by his school time friend,
Peter Pettigrew, and drew his wand. At that moment Black killed
Pettigrew and muggle bystanders, but we now have evidence against
that.
Another of Black's friends, Remus Lupin and his godson, none other
than Harry Potter, went to the Ministry. With them, they brought the
assumed to be dead, Peter Pettigrew, in a gar. Pettigrew turned out
to be an illegal amiagus who turns into a rat. After many
interrogations, the Ministry proved Sirius Black to be innocent.
Sirius, Black, if you're out there, please go toe ht Ministry of Magic
as soon as you can. The new Minister, Arthur Weasley, is waiting
patiently.
"Is this real?!?"
"Yeah, Sirius, but that was yesterday's paper. If you see today's paper, you'll see that you've already gone to the Ministry and have already gotten this official looking piece of parchment and this letter for your compensation.
"Oh, my goodness!"
"And there's more," Remus informed, "if Harry agrees..."
Remus passed Sirius a small pile of documents. Slowly, Sirius took and read them over and dropped them in shock. Curious, Harry picked them up and read.
~Legal Documents for Magical Adoption~
I, Sirius Black, wish to adopt one Harold James Potter.
Under that, there were a lot of official looking words giving the terms of adoption. There had to be five signatures to make it official. The Minister (Arthur Weasley), Albus (the one currently watching the child), and the official adoption agency worker had already signed the parchment; the only signatures needed to make it complete would be Sirius' and Harry's.
Without a word, Harry picked up a quill and signed the document. He handed it to the half-shocked, half-proud Sirius Black.
"You know I'll never replace your father, right, Harry?"
"Of course, Sirius. You're still Sirius, but when you sign that, you're stuck with me."
Sirius laughed slightly and took the quill.
"You act as if it's a bad thing," signing the parchment with his over exaggerated signature, "Here."
And it was official.
* * * * *
Even though normal children didn't want to spend their whole day with there parent/guardian, Harry Potter was no normal child. Being sixteen, going on seventeen, didn't stop him from staying with Sirius until it was time to sleep.
Draco would try to bug him as much as he could, but it never worked. Harry was more than happy for Sirius, and was happy that he had a guardian that could be with him.
There was an unspoken agreement that Sirius was to be called 'Sirius', not 'Father' or 'Dad'. Not that Harry minded; he knew that Sirius could never take James Potter's place and was happy with Sirius as he was.
Remus was like the uncle in a sense. Harry would never call anyone 'uncle' ever since he left the Dursley's, Remus was more of a very older brother, or even a very close friend. Remus was the one making sure that the pranks between guardian and child were safe. Not that they ever planned them to be anything other than safe, it was just a precaution, and Sirius tended to be a bit eccentric to say the least.

End of Chapter 10
Next Chapter: Alexandra comes back in the picture for a bit with Draco. You get to learn a bit about the Elves' position about Human affairs.

To Lady Ash Kaiba: I'm glad that you like my story! I've written to chapter seventeen, and after that, it'll probably go really fast. How much do you go on the internet? Because after chapter seventeen, I'll probably put one a day, if someone reviews. See ya.
To anyone who is reading: If you want to know when the story is updated, you can try to send an AIM at K091288, or email me at K091288@AOL.com with the subject being story. Thank you.
