Before Harry knew it, a week had flown by. Things between him and his father had

gotten better, true to his mother's words. He had apologized and Harry had

accepted it, although reluctantly. He wasn't ready to totally forgive his father

yet. He had hurt him more than he could ever imagine.

Currently they were sitting outside, eating a picnic lunch. The weather had

gotten remarkably better after Harry had settled in a bit more. True, he still

terribly missed his friends, but he knew he would see them again once they died.

Harry's thoughts turned to his godfather. Sirius. He missed him so much. True,

he had his parents, he was with his parents! But he still couldn't help but miss

his godfather, his family. 'I miss you soo much, Sirius.' He thought.

"Harry?" His mother interrupted his thoughts.

"Yah?"

"Your father has been trying to get your attention for the past five minutes."

"Oh, sorry. What?"

James smiled. "Want to go fly around for a while with me? I can show you the

sights."

Harry hesitated. He had always wanted to be able to go flying with his father,

ever since he had leaned how good of a flyer he was.

"No," He finally answered. "I don't feel like flying."

"Oh," James said, disappointed. "Maybe later then?"

Harry nodded.

"Good, well, I have to get to work, see you two later."

James gave Lily a kiss then smiled at Harry and left. Both Lily and James had

noticed Harry's discomfort to them touching them and had let it go.

"Harry?" Lily asked once James was gone. "Why don't you want to go flying with

your father? You told me you love to fly…"

Since James had to work everyday, Harry had gotten a lot closer to his mother

than his father.

"He's not my father." Harry stated. "Maybe by blood he is, but my father is

waiting for me back on earth." Harry got up and went into the house laving Lily

to her thoughts.

"Oh Harry," she whispered. "I know you miss him, but you'll see him again, I

promise."

"You're still here?"

Remus glanced up from the book he was reading and saw the blonde-haired nurse
again.

"Yes, I suppose I am," he said.

"He still in there?" Christina asked, nodding towards the closed door.

"Which one?" Remus asked with a small smile. "Harry or Sirius?"

"Both." She said, grinning.

Remus sighed. "Sirius is going to get himself kicked out soon, if he keeps

refusing to leave…"

"How are they going to kick him out if he refuses to leave?"

"True…" Remus said. He liked this girl; she had a sense of humor.

"Hey, tell you what," Christina said. "I'm off my shift in 15 minutes, how about

you and me go get something to eat? My treat."

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to stay here with Harry, just incase…"

"Oh, come on! It's not like he's alone, remember? His godfather refuses to leave

him. He'll be okay for a few minutes."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

"Well then, Ms. Thomas, I'd love to."

~*~ ~*~ ~*~

"Harry? Harry, can we talk?"

"No."

"Please? I think I know what's bothering you…"

Harry sighed, why wouldn't his mother leave him alone?

"No."

It was quiet for a few moments, then he heard his door unlock and his mother

come in.

"You know, Harry, there is something called magic out there."

"And there is something called privacy also. But obviously that doesn't apply in

this house."

"When it comes to you locking yourself in our room and not telling me what's

wrong, then I guess your right."

"Leave me alone."

"Not until you tell me what's wrong."

Harry stayed silent.

"Is this how you answer Sirius when he asks you a question?" Lily asked after a

few minute of silence.

She saw Harry tense, but he remained silent.

"Harry," she said, sitting down on the edge of his bed. "I know you miss Sirius,

so do I. But you'll see him again, I promise. He'll be up here one day, and

we'll all be together again. Remus too…"

"I want to go home." Harry whispered.

"You ARE home, Harry."

"No I'm not. Siri isn't here, I'm not home."

"Harry, he'll be here before you know it. Remember, time goes by at a different

rate here. It could have already been years since you died. Sirius could be here

tomorrow."

"What do you mean it's been a hundred years?"

"I didn't say it has, it could have, but I don't think so. My guess is a month

or so…"

"A month?!" 'He's probably forgotten I ever existed.' He thought sadly.

"Harry…"

"Leave my alone!" he yelled, his anger returning. "I hate it here! I just want to go

home! What do you not understand about that?"

Harry ran back upstairs into 'his' room and slammed the door. He collapsed onto 'his'

bed and sighed. What part of he wanted to go home did they not understand? This

would never be his home. Never. He had never told anyone, but he would be 'home'

even if it was just some cardboard box he was living in if he was with Sirius… Sirius…

He had never told Sirius that. He probably thought Harry only liked him because he

had given him a place to stay other than the Dursleys…

"How you doing, Sirius?" he whispered. "Miss me at all? I miss you. I can't wait to

see you again. I'll be able to live with you… I don't want to be here with my parents.

I want to be with you. Why don't you die? Then we can be together…" 'NO!' Harry

thought. 'Don't think that! Sirius has a life to live! He doesn't have to die yet! Where

would Professor Lupin be if Sirius were to die? He needs Sirius… Sirius needs him…

He doesn't need me…'

Harry turned and buried his face in his pillow, holding back his tears. He would not

cry. He would not. Eventually, he finally fell asleep.

Remus smiled as he walked back to Harry's room. He had had a lovely time with

Christina. 'Stop it!' A voice inside his head told him. 'You can't start liking her!

Werewolf's aren't allowed to get married and they aren't allowed to have kids!

Besides, if she knew you were a werewolf, she'd turn and run.' "Stop it!" he told the

voice. "That's not true! Christina is a lot more open-minded that that… Right?"

Remus couldn't believe it. Was he really falling for this girl? "No," he told himself.

"We're just friends, aren't we?"
