Sirius's Birthday
A/N: So…Ummm…hi. I know it's been a long time but I've had computer issues and Muggle School and homework because I missed the Hogwarts Express in September. Anyway let's get on with the story.
It was a special day in the Potter household, today was the birthday of one Sirius Orion Black. This day was special for two reasons, one was because it was Sirius's birthday and the second was because it was one of the only days in the year that Sirius would wake up early. This year was no exception; Sirius was awake at seven o clock sharp. He got out of bed and ran into his Godson's room. Sirius scooped Harry up out of his cot and threw him up into the air. He caught the giggling toddler without any effort and set him down on the floor.
'Do you wanna ride on Padfoot Harry?' Sirius asked the four year old. Harry giggled excitedly which Sirius took for a yes. He transformed and Harry clambered up onto his back. He wrapped his arms around the dog's neck like he had done this before and Padfoot padded softly into Remus's room next to Harry's. Unsurprisingly the marauder who went by the name of Moony was already awake. When Padfoot and Harry reached his bed, Remus picked Harry up off of Padfoot's back and Padfoot turned back into Sirius.
'Happy birthday, Padfoot,' Remus says hugging Sirius.
'C'mon, Remus, let's go wake up Lily and James,' Sirius said his eyes lighting up at the thought of waking James up like he did every birthday. They ran into the master bedroom and Sirius leaped into the air transforming in time to land on the bed. Remus chuckled and set Harry down on the bed.
'Padfoot, geroff,' James exclaimed groggily while Lily and Harry laughed. Sirius leaped of the bed and transformed back.
'C'mon I wanna open presents,' Sirius said almost whining. Without waiting for any of them he raced out of the room and down the stairs. Chuckling, James Remus and Lily, who was holding Harry, followed after him. They got downstairs and into the sitting room to see Sirius sitting surrounded by his presents and bouncing.
'Sirius Black, do not even think about opening any of those presents until I get back in here,' Lily said sternly, setting Harry on the floor. Sirius looked at her as if he was scared. He nodded his head vigorously and sat there completely still. Lily walked into the kitchen and quickly made all of Sirius's favourite breakfast foods. When they were done she floated them into the living room in front of her. When she reached the sitting room Sirius jumped up excitedly. James conjured a table and Lily set the food down. They quickly ate breakfast before they vanished the tables and sat down on the floor for Sirius to open his presents. As soon as they had sat down on the floor, Harry pushed a messily wrapped package towards him. He opened the package and saw a painting of a stag a wolf and a dog. Sirius could tell Harry had painted it himself. He picked Harry up and hugged him. 'Harry it's an amazing picture, thanks!'
'Here Sirius open this one next,' said Lily handing him a neatly wrapped present. Sirius ripped the paper off of the present and saw a scrapbook. It was bound in Gryffindor colours and had his name on the outside with a broomstick underneath and picture of the Potters, Remus and Sirius on the front. He opened the book and saw pictures of the marauders through the years at Hogwarts and his detention records and pictures of their pranks. It was very similar to the one James had but not quite the same. 'I thought you would want one of your own,' Lily said smiling at him.
pushed another package towards him Sirius tore off the paper and uncovered a brand new bedset. It was red and gold and had pictures pasted on it as he watched the pictures changed, he turned it over to the back and saw that the curtains had storage pockets that could store anything no matter how heavy.
'You can store your wand and photo album in the curtains and the pictures on the blanket and pillow will change. I thought it would be something you would use,'
'I love it Remus it's amazing.' Sirius got up and hugged Remus before turning to the last present. It was a huge box shaped gift wrapped in paper covered in explosions. He tore off the wrapping paper and saw the traditional box of Zonko's and Honeyduke's products. He knew it was from James.
'Always the practical one, eh James,' Sirius said smiling brightly at James. 'Hey, James isn't Severus coming today?'
'No, he can't get away from Hogwarts.' James said. Sirius seemed rather disappointed but within a minute he was back to himself.
'What do you say we go play some Quidditch?'
'YEAH!' Harry shouted more enthusiastic than his dad at the mention of Quidditch. They spent the rest of the day playing Quidditch and eventually ended up flopping on the sofa exhausted.
