Chapter 21

Sirius smiled widely and pulled Harry into his arms, giving him a firm, yet gentle hug. Harry hugged his godfather back.

They stayed like that for a while, neither wanting to end the embrace. Finally, it was Sirius who broke the silence: "Harry would you like to go to the park?"

Harry sighed and buried his face in Sirius' neck. "No," he mumbled.

Sirius frowned in thought. "What would you like to do now?" he asked.

Harry sighed again and tightened his grip around Sirius' neck. "Nothing." He answered, his voice slightly muffled.

Sirius sighed and gently pried Harry's arms off his neck, holding his (god)son at arm's length. "Come on, kiddo," he said encouragingly, "What would you like to so now?"

Harry tried to get back into Sirius' embrace, but his godfather held him back, gently. "I want to be with you!" Harry said.

Sirius sighed and pulled Harry back into his arms, sensing that Harry needed the comfort. "Harry, I will be with you!" he promised.

Harry perked up visibly. "Are you sure?" he asked timidly.

Sirius ran a hand through Harry's soft hair and smiled. "Yes, kiddo, I am sure."

Harry smiled widely. "Can we play a game, dad?" he asked happily.

Sirius smiled at his newly acquired title and asked,
"Of course, Harry. Which game?"

Harry shrugged. "You pick."

Sirius nodded, thinking. They had already played Hide-and-Seek and Tag, so those two were out.

"Ok….." Sirius said, slowly. "How about I teach you some pranks?"

Harry considered this proposal for a while, but shook his head "no".

Sirius nodded and thought some more. "How about I tell you about your father when he was a kid?"

Harry grinned widely and nodded.

Sirius smiled and picked Harry up, putting him on his lap. He spent the next hour telling his godson stories about James when he was five. Harry leaned back against Sirius' chest and listened with fascination.

When Sirius was done with his stories, he told Harry to wait and went back into the house. He got some of the toys his grandparents had bought for Harry and went back outside. Sirius gave Harry the toys and sat down under a tree, reading a book on unicorns.

Sirius became so engrossed in the book, that he didn't even notice when the sun was beginning to set.

"Dad?" Sirius jumped slightly and looked up. Harry was standing in front off him, a stuffed zebra in his hands.

"Yes, Harry?" Sirius asked, giving his godson a warm smile.

Harry looked a little hesitant but finally dared to ask,
"Could you please play something with me?"

Sirius sighed slightly and shut his book. "Of course, Harry. What do you want to play?"

Harry sighed and plopped down next to Sirius. "I don't know," he admitted.

Sirius nodded and thought for a moment. "How about we do some coloring?"

Harry brightened immediately. "Ok!" he said cheerfully.

Sirius smiled and took Harry's small hand. He picked up his book and Harry's toys and together they went inside the house and into the living room.

Sirius got some crayons and some colouring books and went back to Harry. The next few hours were spent busily colouring the pictures in the books, until Sirius realized that it was already time for dinner and took Harry to the kitchen with him.

Suddenly, just as Sirius and Harry were about to enter the kitchen, there was a faint 'pop'. Sirius turned and smiled at the person that had apparated into their hall.

"Sirius, where is Harry?"

Sirius smiled and pulled Harry out from behind his back. "Here."
