Harry skipped along the pathway, happily pulling at Sirius and Remus' hands. Coming upon the next exhibit, he pressed his nose tight against the glass in an effort to get a better view of the tigers. Remus picked Harry up in order to help him see better over the bushes obscuring the line of site. Harry giggled wildly as one of the large cats came closer and rubbed its long body on the shrubs before dropping to its side to bask in the warm patch of sunlight.
"Cotton candy, Daddy!" Harry pointed out, his hand outstretched to the sticky substance. "Can I have a blue one?" Remus though for a moment that caused a small pout and puppy dog eyes to form on Harry's face.
"What do you think, Sirius? Do you think we could get some cotton candy before going on to the snake house?" Remus asked innocently. He created a similar look on his face as he turned to Sirius. "But it absolutely has to be a blue one!" Sirius laughed as he pulled some money from his pocket to hand to Harry.
"Get me one, too. Just try not to get it into your shirt will you? It won't do you well to walk around sticky for the next few hours!" Sirius replied. Harry nodded happily as he struggled to get himself back on his own two feet. Bounding ahead of Remus and Sirius, he held up three fingers and pointed to the blue cotton candy. "How did I manage to get myself dragged here on the hottest day of the year no less?"
"Because you love us so much and you want to see us happy," Remus supplied. He took two extra candies out of Harry's hand's upon returning with a broad smile as they resumed their tour. A chubby looking boy watched them enviously from a nearby bench while a boney looking woman fussed over him. Harry stuck out his now blue tinted tongue as they passed by.
"Harry, that isn't nice. You don't stick out your tongue, you hex your undesirable family members!" Sirius lightly chastised. He wiggled his fingers in a mock greeting as they passed by with an accompanying grin. "Make sure you pay close attention to your lessons on hexing and cursing at Hogwarts!"
