A/N: Hahaha. Hey guys! Remember that time I said I would update quickly because of my lack of wifi? Well that obviously didn't happen. Real life has been a bitch lately. My dad has been away a lot and to add onto that, my grandpa had a stroke and is dying. So I decided that I would update before things got too crazy. I hope you enjoy the chapter.

"Old Hylian"
Previously
"Sirius Black?"
Now
The man in question grinned awkwardly and Zephir lowered his weapon, but he did not sheathe it. Zephir stood up straight and Sirius shifted from foot to foot awkwardly.
"Is there any particular reason as to why you were hiding behind a bush Mr. Black?" Zephir raised an eyebrow and folded his arms against his chest.
"Hello Harry." Zephir's eyes widened. How did his old godfather know who he was? He looked completely different and he was wearing his cowl. To add on to the mystery, he hadn't seen his godfather in ten years! How could he possibly know who he was? "How've you been?"
"How did you know it was me?"
"Oh please. You're my godson! I would recognise you from ten miles away. Plus I'm a dog animagus and I recognised your scent. I was taking a walk through Hogsmeade and thought I would come visit for old time's sake and I smelled it so then I decided to investigate. Now do I get a hug?"
Zephir smiled and went up to hug his godfather. He embraced him and let all his love flow into the hug. Even though he was very happy with his new family, he had still missed his eccentric and goofy godfather.
"Now let me see your handsome face now that you're all grown up and whatnot. It's been ten years." Zephir tugged down his cowl until it hung as a scarf on his neck. His multi coloured eyes were revealed to Sirius. Zephir heard him gasp ass he lowered the cowl. Sirius probably didn't know about the blood adoption. "You were blood adopted? By who?"
"My father Sheik was the one who adopted me ten years ago. He raised me as part of his tribe and trained me as one of their own. Throughout those ten years, I remained in contact with Drew. We sent letters back and forth. However, Drew was not allowed to visit because it would risk exposing our tribe. Professor Dumbledore somehow found his way in and asked members of our tribe to come defend the school and so here I am."
Sirius was in shock. After ten years of not speaking with his old friends and godchildren, he had missed a lot. He didn't know that Harry was adopted. It didn't matter now. Harry was still his godson and he would love him no matter what. Sirius decided that he needed to spend some quality time with his godchildren so that was what he was going to do.
"Now clearly I've missed out on a lot and need to make up for it. I believe a visit is in order, don't you?"
"Well you can go up to the castle. However, I must stay here. If I left my post, Impa would probably turn me inside out." Zephir pulled up his cowl and walked back to pace at the gates. He let in Sirius and then proceeded to stand guard until it was time for him to switch stations.
Meanwhile, Sirius was heading up towards the front doors of Hogwarts. He hadn't been back in ages and desperately missed his godson. Every once in a while he would send Drew a letter and Drew would answer, but he hadn't actually seen him since Harry left. Sirius was afraid that the fact that he didn't spend a lot of time with his godsons would cause a gap to form between them.
He approached the teachers' rooms and found his godson's room. He knocked on the door and heard a deep voice yell for him to enter. He slowly turned the knob of the door and walked into Drew's spacious room. The carpet was a nice chocolate brown and the walls were painted sky blue. There was a four poster bed in the middle that had sheets the same colour as the walls and a maple desk sat in the corner. There was a door on the side that most likely contained a bathroom. Bookshelves lined the wall on the right and on the left side of the bed was a dresser with pictures of Zephir and Drew on it.
The boy in question looked up from the book he was reading and a wide grin spread across his face. His shaggy brown hair fell across his face and into his hazel eyes as he jumped up from the bed and ran towards his godfather. Sirius almost fell over as his youngest godson collided with his body and encased him in a hug.
"Uncle Sirius I missed you so much! Where have you been?" Drew said into his shoulder. Sirius let go of Drew before moving towards the bed and taking a seat.
"Well you remember what happened when Harry ran away and how after that Remus and I moved to Canada?" Drew nodded. "Just a few months ago we moved back here and we've only just got settled in. I decided to visit Hogsmeade and I smelled your brother so I came to investigate and now here I am."
"Do you know the truth about what happened to Zephir?" Drew asked.
"Who's Zephir?"
"Did he not tell you his new name? Harry changed his name to Zephir after his father blood adopted him."
"Zephir huh? It's a nice name. Maybe later I can visit with the both of you. Do Lily and James know about him?"
"Not at first, but now they do know. They got suspicious and we had no other option."
Sirius nodded. He hadn't seen Lily and James in ten years and meeting them again after so long would be extremely awkward and weird. They probably didn't even want to talk to him or Remus. He rubbed his hand through his wavy black hair and sighed. Everything just got really complicated really fast.
Later
It was late at night and Zephir was in his rooms unbraiding his hair to prepare for bed. Leaf was doing the same beside him in their bathroom. They heard a knock on the door downstairs and everyone pulled up their cowls before Sheik went to answer the door.
Sheik swung open the door to reveal a man with wavy black hair. Sheik raised an eyebrow at the mystery man. "Hello, who are you?"
"I'm Sirius Black. It is my understanding that my godson lives here with you guys. I believe his name is Zephir?" At hearing his name, Zephir poked his head over the balcony to glimpse at whoever was at the door. Upon seeing his godfather, he grinned and took off his cowl before running down to greet him. Leaf trailed behind Zephir; curious to find out whom this person was.
Where Zephir was ecstatic to see his godfather, Sheik was skeptical. He had never seen this man before and he just waltzed on in saying that he was the godfather of his son. Leaf was skeptical too. Leaf didn't know who this strange man was, but Zephir appeared to know him which only left the assumption that this was someone from Zephir's life before he came to the tribe.
"Hello Sirius! Did you go and visit Drew then?"
"I did indeed and he told me where you guys were staying so I thought I would drop by and visit with you and your adoptive family!" Sheik couldn't help but feel jealous towards Sirius. Zephir was HIS son and no one would take that from him. "Who are these two handsome young men?" Sirius asked Sheik and Leaf.
"My name is Leaf I grew up as Zephir's friend. It's very nice to meet you Mr. Black." Leaf held out his hand and Sirius shook it.
"I am Sheik. Zephir's father." Sirius instantly paled at the realization of who he was talking to. Zephir's father was very menacing in his bodysuit and cowl. His red eyes pierced into him and seemed to stare into his soul. It was very creepy and made Sirius shift his legs a bit and avoid eye contact. "It is nice to meet you Mr. Black."
"It's nice to meet you too sir."
"Come on Sirius! I have so much to tell you!" Zephir grabbed his godfather's hand and dragged him to one of the many couches in the main sitting room. Sirius sat across from Zephir who was sitting next to Leaf. Sheik stood behind the couch with his arms folded across his chest. Zephir noticed how tense his father was. He could practically feel the jealousy rolling off of him in waves.
"Calm down father. Sirius is a good man and I highly doubt he would take me from you. You have no reason to worry so stop scaring the poor guy! I haven't seen him in ten years! He just wants a chance to get to know me better and I want to do the same. You're still my dad and I still love you. There is no need for this animosity." Zephir said in old Hylian. All the Sheikah had to learn the language in case they needed to communicate in secret.
Sheik sighed. He knew he was being unfair towards the man, but he couldn't help it. Even when Zephir was a child, Sheik had always been worried that he would want to return to his old family and leave him behind.
"I know, but I cannot help how I feel. I know that I have no need to feel threatened by him. I just do not want to lose you. You're my son and I don't want anyone changing that. I am sorry for my actions. I will try to calm down."
"Thank you father."
Sirius watched the exchange between the two in interest. They were speaking in an entirely different language and Zephir looked as if he was lecturing his father. He looked to Zephir's friend Leaf and watched as he started giggling.
"Pssst. Leaf! Do you know what they're saying?"
"Of course I do! All Sheikah have to learn old Hylian. Zephy is just telling his dad to calm down because he's scaring you." Leaf said with a chuckle.
"Sorry about that Sirius, but my dad is a bit paranoid. Now I believe that we have some catching up to do." Zephir said as he turned away from his father. Sheik was looking rather chastised and shameful.
"Yes we do indeed. So what have you been up to for the past ten years?"
For the next two hours after that, Zephir spent his time telling his godfather about his new life with the Sheikah tribe. He spoke of his training and his new family. He spoke about how Sheik found him in the abandoned apartment. Sirius listened intently the entire time; his interest never swaying. Sheik stood behind Zephir. Not once did he take his eyes off of Sirius. Though he had calmed down considerably, he was still skeptical.
Sirius noticed that Sheik was still glaring at him. It made Sirius feel very uncomfortable and he didn't know why Sheik was so hostile towards him. He would talk to him about it later.
"Wow! It seems as if you've had…fun."
"I wouldn't really call the training fun. It was torture, but in the end it was worth it. Now I can properly defend myself and my tribe." Zephir said proudly. Sheik smiled at his son. Even though his godfather was back, he was still true to his tribe.
Later
After Sirius had left for the night, Zephir and his family went back upstairs to finish getting ready for bed. Leaf climbed into Zephir's bed and curled up against his chest. Zephir draped his arms over Leaf's waist and the two fell into a deep sleep.
A/N: And that's it! I know that was a bit of a filler chapter, but I had a writers block moment and couldn't figure out how to get this chapter to my 2000 word goal. I tried. Hope you enjoyed it! Please review and tell me what you thought!
