A/N: wow 300 reviews I'm so excited!
Chapter 28
Harry looked up at his godfather in shock.
"I mean, if that's alright with you?" Sirius asked glancing at him.
"You…you actually want me?" Harry was still gazing at him in shock.
Sirius wrapped one arm around his godson's shoulders. "Of course I do, cub," he replied, trying to keep the sadness out of his voice. He hated that he hadn't been there in the past for Harry, and he felt horrible that Harry had to go through the same things he'd gone through.
Harry was beaming now. He couldn't believe that Sirius actually wanted to adopt him. "Yes! Sirius, yes, please! That way I never have to go back to the Dursleys!" Harry pleaded.
Now Sirius was smiling. "Can you do it, Fudge?" he asked.
"Of course," Fudge said, flicking his wand. Instantly a stack of papers appeared on the table.
Harry smirked. "Your hand's gonna be sore in the morning."
"I'd suggest not being quite so cheeky, unless of course, you want to be tickled," Sirius was giving the teen a very mischievous smirk of glee.
"No, Sirius, please! I'm ticklish!" Harry warily backed away from his godfather's outstretched hands.
Remus rolled his eyes. "Sirius, you'll give the poor kid nightmares about tickle monsters living under his bed or something."
"Tickle monsters don't exist," Harry said.
"That's where you're wrong, cub," Sirius whispered ominously, and then he pounced, ruthlessly tickling the raven-haired boy until he was laughing so hard he was crying.
"N-no, S-Sirius, s-stop!" Harry laughed.
"Not until you tell me I am the awesomest godfather you've ever had," Sirius replied, mercilessly continuing his tickling.
"Y –you're the a-awesomest g-godfather I-I've e-ever h-had, n-now s-stop!" Harry laughed.
As soon as Sirius was off, Harry clutched his sides, catching his breath.
"That was cruel," he said, mock-glaring at his godfather.
"I know," Sirius was glowing with glee.
"You two," Remus muttered, shaking his head with a smile.
"Alright," Sirius sighed, glaring down at the large stack of papers in front of him. "Let's get this over with."
A/N: aww, the tickle wars have begun! XD
