Chapter 4 Pranks and Dishes

Harry creaked open his door so he could listen to what was being said below him. He heard unintelligible words, and decided to move a little bit so he could hear.

"Sirius, when are you gonna tell him what your new job is?" Remus asked exasperatedly.

"He'll find out soon enough!" Sirius pointed out to his friend. "And anyway, what's the hurry, I wanna surprise him with it."

Harry noticed Remus glance up at him, lying on the floor. 'Darn werewolf senses,' Harry thought to himself.

"Harry, it's almost lunch time so why don't you come help me get ready?" Remus asked as he shot Sirius a warning look, "and no retaliation efforts Padfoot!"

Sirius shot Remus an innocent look that clearly said 'who me?'

"Yes, you Sirius!" Remus exclaimed.

Harry walked into the kitchen, followed by Remus. Sirius had disappeared into his bedroom, and was waiting for lunch. He was an awful cook, so Remus decided that he would be the one to cook, while Sirius cleaned up. Lunch was finally ready, and Sirius came down stairs.

"Moony, you made all this didn't you?" Sirius asked, seeing the look on Harry's face.

"Don't you trust me, Siri?" Harry asked with a smirk on his face.

"Given what's already happened twice today, I don't think I should answer that question," Sirius returned an identical to Harry.

"Don't worry Padfoot, it's all safe, I made it," Remus headed off an argument that hadn't quite started yet, but was on it's way to unfolding.

Harry smiled within himself; they didn't realize that as they both bit into éclairs, they would find out soon.

POP!!! They both became large yellow canaries, and after a few seconds the spell wore off, and the returned to their original state.

"Ok, Harry!!" Sirius seemed truly angry this time. "Enough is enough. Three pranks in one day is plenty!"

"Harry, what were those things exactly?" Remus asked quite taken aback, by the nature of the prank.

"Fred and George Weasley made them, they're called Canary Creams. I simply concealed them inside the éclairs you made," Harry was laughing so hard he could barely talk.

"Harry, I'm too old to do all this practical joking anymore!" Sirius was kidding, but a brilliant thought struck Harry. This joke would have too wait until Sirius had cooled down a bit. "So, tell me something I don't know!" Harry exclaimed. And with that, Sirius started chasing Harry around the house.

"Hey Sirius!" Remus called from across the room. "I think it's your turn to clean up!"

"Okay, okay, Moony! Don't get all bent outta shape over it." Sirius stopped running, and went to gather up the dishes from lunch.

"I'll help," Harry offered, knowing that Sirius probably had no clue what he was doing, washing dishes by hand.

"Hey thanks kiddo," Sirius was smiling at Harry.

Harry returned the smile, and asked, "Sirius, is something wrong, because you don't really seem like yourself?"

"Harry, I'm just sorta sad, because looking at you, and the way you act, you remind me so much of James, and it just upsets me that someone I considered a friend would hurt me so much, by betraying James and Lily like that," Sirius took a deep breath and continued. "I never could tell your father no, so I guess I'm just gonna have to get used to it." He smiled at Harry.

"Ok," Harry took a deep breath, and steadied himself. "How far away do the Weasley's live?" he asked

"It's a five minute walk from here," Sirius said with a grin.

"Do you care if I go see them sometime?" He asked his godfather.

"Of course not," Sirius smiled. "In fact, I think that they wanted to have you there tomorrow. That is if you're feeling up too it.
