Finally, after some conversation over Sirius's home, how Sirius didn't know
all the people in the village and wanted Harry back when it went dark
(which Harry had said that he would be fine but agreed in the end) and
quidditch, Sirius and Harry drove past a bright blue sign saying Ardington.
Sirius kept going around bends at 50mph so Harry had to cling to the car when suddenly the car came to an abrupt halt. 'Welcome, Harry to your new home.' Sirius said warmly as Harry looked up and his new house. It was two storeys, but had an attic as a room. It was detached, in a cul de sac but the cul de sac was spaced out with at least space for two houses the same size to fit in. The house was quite new and had a double garage on the right hand side. In the middle were two oak front doors that matched the window frames.
Harry looked speechless. 'Wow.Sirius.' He Stammered. 'Your house.it's so.' he meant to say brilliant but. 'big.'
'Our house Harry.' Sirius smiled. Harry smiled.
They reached the doors. Sirius pulled out a large silver key. He put in the door and twisted it.
When they went through, Harry was speechless and how modern and big it was. His mouth was wide open while he was just spinning around on the spot for at least five minutes before finally Sirius said something.
'So, Harry, are you going to just stand there for the rest of the holidays because if you are could tell me so I could bring your bed down here?' Sirius said grinning.
'Wha..What, er, what were you saying?' Harry said coming out of his thoughts.
'Nothing. Are you coming in then?' Sirius asked.
'Yeh, sure.' Harry waked further in after taking off his shoes. Sirius led him into the front room where Harry thought was at least 2/3s of a quidditch pitch. There was a portrait on the right side of the wall. He realized it was of himself and his parents when he was one.
'Sirius.the picture.where did you get it?' Harry stammered. Sirius gave him a sad but warm and gentle smile.
'Before your parents.died.they had a portrait done. It was Lily's idea. I think it was because she knew that they were going to.to die soon, she could see into the future.and probably thought when you grew up you would appreciate it. I recall that day she asked me to keep it. She didn't tell James but she had a copy made so he wouldn't ask where it went. She didn't tell him anything she saw unless it was good or important. She didn't want to worry him.' A rather sad smile lingered on Sirius' lips. It looked like he was recalling the past for he has a small tear forming in his right eye.
Sirius snapped out of it after a couple of minutes. Harry hadn't disturbed him because for one he wouldn't know what to say, and two, he thought better of it and thought he should be allowed to recall his parents, after all, he was very close with Lily and James. 'So, do you want to see your bedroom then?'
Sirius had decorated it in blues. It had a wooden double bed on the left side with a bedside table on one side and a chest of drawers on the other. In the middle was a big window over looking the trimmed garden and on the right was a wardrobe, a desk and a table with a tv/video on it which was joined to a playstation 2.
'The woman at the store said it was the latest and most best model that has come out. There was something called a game cube but I didn't like it. If you want to go and get that one I don't mind. I just thought that one looked nicer.' Sirius said in a voice Harry couldn't quite work out what the tone was.
'Oh Sirius, thank you so much.' And with that Harry flung himself around Sirius with an unexpected hug. Sirius, though surprised, accepted him with open arms. 'Whatever you want Harry I'll get, anything.well anything that's possible.' Sirius said after realizing that he couldn't bring back his parents.
'Sirius I don't want anything. Just your smile brings happiness to my face.'
