Chapter 6: Almost Home.
The two lovers spent most of the next day preparing for Harry's arrival. Sure, they didn't know if Harry was even going to come to their house, but they just wanted to be prepared incase he did.
Sirius spent a better part of the day re-growing the garden. It seemed that he had been so up set yesterday when he thought Remus had turned him down, that he had put on a more powerful curse than he had meant to. He had to first remove the curse from the plants and then apologize profusely to them. Some seemed very unforgiving but he promised that he would make sure that it never happened again. The plants appeared to believe him because they were soon re-growing to their original beauty.
"Whelp, it looks pretty good to me." Sirius said when they had finally finished, fifteen minutes before they would have to leave to meet with Harry at the Weasleys.
Remus looked up from his book he had been reading. His eyes fell over Sirius and he smirked.
"It looks pretty good to me too." Remus said so deeply and husky that Sirius turned to him in surprise.
'Must be the wolf in him.' Sirius thought.
"In fact," Remus began. "I know it is better than good. He's great!"
Sirius blushed a deep crimson. "Stop. You're making me blush."
"You're right." Remus said closing his book and standing up from his chair. "If we got started making love now, we'd miss Harry."
"Oh my gosh! Harry! I nearly forgot!" Sirus said jumping into action. He grabbed some wrapping paper and some string in the kitchen before retuning to the sitting room. "Were did you put James' spell book?"
"It's in the bedroom by the nightstand." Remus said waving Sirius off silently telling him that he would go and get it.
"What about Lily's picture albums and the stuffed dog we got him?" Sirius called.
"I'll get them." Remus assured him. It wasn't long before Remus walked back out into the room carrying three heavy looking books and a plush black stuffed dog with golden eyes.
"Here you are, Love." Remus said placing the items on the coffee table. Sirius quickly but skillfully, wrapped the gifts in the paper and tied them with the string.
"Do you think he will like these graduation gifts?" Sirius asked with a worried look. "I mean, he did graduate just under Hermione; second in the class."
"Of course he will love them. It was a wonderful idea to give him some of James' and Lily's things." Remus said placing a reassuring hand on Sirius' shoulder. "We should go. It's getting late."
"Yes, you're right." Sirius said handing Remus two of the packages. "Come on. Let's get out of here and see our godson."
Remus smiled fondly at that thought as they walked outside. Sirius placed a quick lock charm on the house.
"Ready?" Sirius asked.
"As I'll ever be." Remus replied.
Remus quickly and suddenly began changing his form. Gray fur began to sprout all over his body as he shrank to the ground. Sirius watched as the man he loved changed into a wolf.
Taking his queue, Sirius began to do the same. Yet, it wasn't a wolf that he was becoming. As his body changed, where he had once stood, now stood a very black, very shaggy dog.
The gray wolf nodded its head when the dog turned towards him. He picked up his packages in his mouth. The dog did the same.
Remus. Remember, I'm going to come out first and then you when I call. Sirius thought as loudly as he could.
I know, Sirius, sweetie. Remus voice came back in his head. But I figured that we could both come out to Harry at the same time.
Very funny. Sirius said smacking the butt of the wolf with his paw. Now, come on. We're late.
With that, the dog led the way through the woods and growing darkness towards the Weasley Barrow.
