"Welcome Harry"

The ride to Lupin's seemed to fly by due to the supped up motor that Sirius had installed and even if the trip had taken hours, to Harry and Sirius it would have felt like minutes. Both were doing some Sirius thinking, Harry about how his life would change and about how different Sirius was from the sullen face convict he had meet in his third year. Sirius on the other hand was thinking about Lily and James. Harry was so much like them, true it was hard no to feel sad when Harry would do something that reminded him of his old times but it was worth it to see Harry and in him see the friends he had lost. His thoughts also lingered about all the things they had to do. Harry deserved a family and Sirius, along with Remus' supervision, would try to stand in for James and Lily although he knew he could never fill their shoes.

With a loud vroom the motorbike pulled into the drive and Sirius, all smiles, hopped off and grabbed Harry's trunk. Reaching into his pocket for the key his face turned into a small smile.

"Hey Harry. How about we have some fun with Remus? Yea, good? Excellent!" He exclaimed popping into a dog and running through a doggy dog into the home.

Inside the kitchen was one Remus Lupin awaiting Sirius and Harry. Remus knew that if Sirius was cleared he would run off immediately and get Harry without owling him, but that was Sirius, so Remus had asked that Dumbledore send him a massage as soon as the ministry decided and now he sat cooking a steak whilst thumbing through a muggle cook book. Remus found it relaxing and peaceful to cook the muggle way and since Sirius didn't have a wand until now it gave him something to do. Remus was quite peaceful until a giant dog, also known as Sirius Black came bounding into the kitchen grabbing the steak between his teeth and running promptly out again.

"Well, there here." Said an exasperated Remus standing up and giving chase out the front door only to come face to face with Harry sitting on his trunk and Sirius in his dog form sitting on a newly dug up mound in Remus' garden before changing back.

"Hi Harry," Remus greeted giving Harry a hug, "Welcome. Sirius that, for your information was our dinner and unlike last time you are now simply going to dig it up and wash it off and no to your next statement also. We are not having sweets for dinner." Sirius gave a look that simply begged Remus but it did not have any affect. "I'm off to visit Dumbledore tonight; he's looking to get me to fill the Defense Against the Dark Arts post this year." Harry's eyes lit up. "Sirius, there's pizza from that muggle restaurant you went to yesterday in the ice box. You can heat that up, I'm off. See you latter Harry I'm sure Sirius will show you your room, it used to be your father's when he stayed here. It's exactly the same." With that he appratiated off to meet Dumbledore.

"Ice-cream, butter beer, and sweets for dinner. What do you think Harry?" Sirius asked.

"Sounds great." And with that they went into Remus'.
