Chapter 10: Part 1

The birthday party

Sirius snickered to himself as he neared his godson's bedroom door, he was careful not to make too much noise. It was 9.30am and his little godson had slept in, which was a very good thing as it gave him and Remus time to set everything up in the lounge downstairs. And now the important task of waking the birthday boy had fallen to him. He reached for the door and slowly opened it, as soon as it was wide enough he transformed into paddfoot and trotted over to Harry's bed. He paused at the side and watched as Harry hugged his pillow tight chewing on it.

"mmmm my marshmallow." Mumbled Harry in his sleep clutching his pillow tighter.

Sirius gave his best dog grin and jumped up onto the bed. He leaned over and gave the side of Harry's face that was visible a big long lick with his wet tongue.

"Aaaaaa! " Yelled Harry as he sat up in his bed, his hand flying to his now wet check. He took one look at the overly happy dog sitting on his bed with his tail wagging and glared. "Sirius what was that for?" He flopped back down and pulled the blankets over his head so Sirius couldn't repeat the offence.

Sirius huffed and turned back into himself, he poked the lump that was Harry. There was no way he was letting the boy fall back to sleep. So he got up and went over to Harry's windows and opened the curtains as wide as they could go, letting the wonderful warm sunshine inside. After that was done and Sirius was pleased enough with the amount of light in the room, he walked back over to Harry's bed and pulled the cover's down, he winced slightly when he saw Harry's red and peeling skin. But as soon as he glaring godson locked eyes with him he smiled.

"wakey wakey sleeping beauty." He sang softly, making sure Harry couldn't get the sheets from his hands.

Harry glared at Sirius and glanced over to where the evil sunlight was coming in. He blinked slowly and sat up.

"What's the time Sirius?" He asked after letting off a big yawn. Had he slept in? The sun seemed to think so.

"Its 9.45am now, so Happy Birthday kiddo!" Said an excited Sirius as he jumped onto Harry's bed grinning.

Harry blinked slowly again. So he had slept in. He yawned once more and turned and got out of bed heading towards the shower.

"I'll be down in a few then, I'm just going to have a shower." Harry said still half asleep as he shut the bathroom door behind him.

Sirius pouted, a very manly pout mind you, at the lack of reaction he got from Harry. He shook his head and made his way down stairs, well hopefully Harry's reaction will be better when he sees the lounge thought Sirius as he bounced down the stairs.

*****

It was only after Harry had had his shower and was walking down the stairs that it finally hit him. 1. He had slept in, he must have really needed it because it didn't happen often, and 2. It was his 15th birthday today. Which meant that later on tonight he would be changing into a merman, something which just thinking about made him feel nervous and slightly sick to his stomach. He still wasn't sure about living with something like that. Or about being so different from everyone else despite the reassuring he got from his godfather's.

Harry took a deep breath and shook his head, it was no use thinking about it really, it was going to happen whether he wanted it to or not. Once it did he'll deal with his feelings then. Who knows maybe after the change he would feel differently?

Once he got to the bottom of the stairs on the ground floor he frowned. Why was it so quite? It was never quiet if Sirius was awake, never.

"Guys? Are you still home?" He asked as he walked down the empty hallway towards the kitchen, hearing a snicker from the lounge made him change his course, instead of his original destination he headed to where he heard what he was sure was Sirius's poor attempt at being quiet.

Sirius bit his lip and peered around the corner of the couch, he really needed to learn more control. That snicker pretty much gave their location away, oh well. As soon as he saw Harry's feet in the doorway to the lounge he gave Remus who was crouched next to him a nudge. And with a small count to three they both jumped up from behind the couch.

"Happy birthday Harry!" They both yelled as Remus waved his wand to undo the spell hiding the decorations from view, and Sirius waved his wand to throw confetti all over poor stunned Harry.

Harry stood there in shock taking a look around the room. In the middle of the room standing behind the couch were a grinning Sirius and Remus. The room itself was covered in red and gold balloons and streamers. There was a cloth sign floating above the fireplace that proclaimed this his 15th birthday bash. On one side of the room was a long table filled with many objects of all shapes and sizes wrapped in different wrapping paper, some magical with moving pictures, others plain and simple.

"Umm wow" Was all Harry could bring himself to say, honestly what did one say in a situation like this? Oh that's right" Thanks guys, but you really didn't have to" Said a sheepish Harry as he glanced around again. Surely all those presents weren't for him?

"Of course we had to Harry its not everyday a young boy turns 15 years of age? Don't you like it?" Asked an unsure Sirius as he shared a small glance with his lover.

"Of course I like it!" Said Harry grinning widely, after the initial shock had worn off Harry had found himself filled with such happiness he was sure he would burst. This was a party, and all just for him. "In fact I more then like it I love it!" He proclaimed as he threw himself into Sirius arms. " Thank you so much."

Sirius grinned and hugged Harry back tightly, he was a little shocked that his godson had flown at him like this but he was happy about it. Harry really was settling in wonderfully.

Remus chuckled lightly and sat down on the couch.

"Come on Harry why don't you open your gifts then we'll head to the kitchen for a birthday brunch." Said Remus as he levitated a few gifts towards the coffee table.

Harry parted from Sirius with a blush on his cheeks and sat down next to Remus. Sirius bounced over the back of the couch and crashed down on the other side of Harry who was in the middle.

"Are these all for me?" Asked Harry looking at the large pile of gifts that Remus was floating towards him.

"Yes every last one, I'm afraid Siri and I got a little carried away with things." Said Remus slightly embarrassed.

"I couldn't possibly accept all of this" Said Harry

"Course you can kiddo, think of it as catch up for all the years we missed." Said Sirius grabbing a round gift and handing it to Harry. "Here open this one first."

An hour later found two older wizards happily watching their godson open the last of his presents. So far Harry had received:

A ball. For when he got his tail, apparently it would be fun to play with in the water.

A Magical camera, complete with a photo album and plenty of rolls of film.

An assortment of books, from ones to help his study to ones just to read for fun. Magical and muggle alike.

A new set of formal robes.

A laptop charmed to run off magic, as well as many DVDs, and games to go with it.

A new state of the art magical trunk to keep his belongings in once he went back to Hogwarts.

A new broom servicing kit for his fireblot.

An Internet connection for his magical laptop, which considering it wasn't hooked up like a normal computer he wasn't really sure how it was going to work but was looking forward to trying it out.

A bag filled with a never-ending supply of berty bots every flavour beans.

Some new parchment and quills and ink, as well as all the rest of his school supplies for this year.

A bundle of cook books on Asian cuisine. A personal favourite of Harry's.

And of course his mother's necklace, which had to have been the most important gift despite its size.

All those gifts had been from Remus and Sirius. He also received.

An assortment of magical jokes from the twins.

A book on nargles from Luna.

A weird looking plant that seemed to be humming a tune from Neville. The card said it was used to help people sleep. It was green with purple flowers and while he couldn't place the sent they gave off it smelled divine.

Harry frowned and looked over to where his gifts had been then to where his opened ones were. He bit his lower lip and glanced uncertainly towards Remus.

"Was there nothing from Ron or Hermione?" He asked.

Remus shook his head sadly.

"Nothing I'm afraid Harry, but maybe their birds were delayed or something happened?" He replied trying to cheer Harry up with the possibility that they might come.

"But the twins sent something and it got here." Said Harry looking over the twin's gift.

"I'm sure they have a reason Harry, don't let it get you down today though ok?" Said Sirius giving Harry a light hug.

"Yea you're right, it's my birthday I should be happy, stuff them then!" Replied Harry "Didn't you guys say something about a brunch?" He said as his stomach gave a rumble.

Sirius took a deep breath and nodded to Remus who took out a stack of papers from behind were he was sitting.

"There's one last gift we want to give you Harry, this one you can say no to if you like kiddo." Said Sirius as he nervously placed the pile of documents on Harry's lap.

Harry glanced down at the top of the papers and his breath caught in his throat. They were adoption papers. He shuffled threw them to give him time to think, his mind was in a state of shock. They wanted to adopt him!

"You see when I got your uncle to sign the custody papers I also got him to sign these as well, just so there was no loop holes. Sirius and I have already signed them as well. If you'll have us all you need to do is sign. " Said Remus calming to Harry.

(Please note I have no clue how the adoption system works in the U.K.)

"Of course you don't have to if you don't want to Harry." Said Sirius who was so nervous he has started to bounce his leg on the spot.

Harry choked back a sob and threw his arms happily around a shocked Remus followed by a shocked Sirius. He then ignored the tears dripping down his cheeks and grinned at them both. He could never remember being so happy. They wanted him, really wanted him

"Yes I would love to be your son!" He said before his tears could confuse Sirius anymore who was starting to think he had offended Harry in some way.

Remus smiled and handed Harry a pen showing him where to sign. Harry paused for a moment though in deep thought chewing the end of the pen.

"I'm not going to change my mind but I'm just wondering, will my name be changed?" He asked curiously as he whipped the last of his tears away.

"Well you get to chose, you can keep your last name, or add black to it, or even just stick with black." Replied Remus smiling.

"Why not Lupin?" Asked Harry tilting his head and looking at Remus curiosity.

"Since Sirius is my mate,, I decided to take his name instead of keeping mine." Answered Remus as he leaned over Harry's head to kiss his lover.

"Eww get a room guys" Joked Harry laughing at the giddy happy look on Sirius face.

Harry thought for a little why longer ignoring the puppy dog looks his soon to be fathers were giving each other. He liked the name Potter, it was one of the only things that he had kept form his parents. But on the other hand it also came with fame, and he was sick of it all.

"Do either of you mind if I take the last name Black and bump Potter back for a second middle name?" Asked Harry.

Sirius grinned and hugged Harry tightly to him. Remus chuckled and decided to also join in the hug and wrapped his arms around both on them from the other side. Harry grinned and snuggled into the 3-way hug.

"Okay ok let me sign" Said Harry wriggling out of the older wizards holds. He quickly signed the papers and watched in amazement as they glowed and rolled themselves up. The papers had made copies and sent them to the right departments in both the magical and muggle world.

"Congratulations you're now officially our son and Harry James Potter Black." Said Remus as he ruffled Harry's hair fondly.

"Of course we always thought of you as your son kiddo, its now just legal." Said a grinning Sirius.

Harry grinned as wide as he could, he was sure his face was splitting in two but he was just so happy, today really was turning out to be the best birthday he had ever had. Not even the lack of presents form his friends and change he was going threw tonight could ruin it.

Sirius stood up and stretched popping his back lightly.

"Come on wife and son time for brunch!" Said Sirius laughing at the look on Remus face at the wife comment. He quickly grabbed a giggling and happy Harry's hand and dragged him from the lounge before Remus retaliated.

"Hey! Get back here I'm not the wife!" Proclaimed a slightly peeved off Remus, however even Sirius comment couldn't wipe the smile fully from his face.
