AN: Eh-he-he-he…Don't kill me, please? ::Looks about warily clutching an umbrella for protection:: No excuse for not getting this out earlier, save for the depressing existence of Real Life. Short, two chapters. Hope you like, haven't gotten it checked over.

He was in a familiar place…the sheets were crisp and cool under him, and the sunlight was rather bright, not surprising, given that it was early afternoon. Harry gave a small moan as he cracked open a single eye and made out the familiar blurry shape of the ceiling. 'Hospital Wing…the Senshi! SIRI! Cedric?!' He sat up abruptly, looking around frantically. No one…it was all a dream then…tears began to fall from Harry's eyes. It was then that he heard a furious barking from Mme. Pomphry's office, and her shouting. Harry scrambled out of the bed just as a large Grim-like dog bounded out of the office and jumped onto the bed and onto him.

"Siri! You're alive! You're really here…!" Harry shouted, accompanied by happy barking. He suddenly found himself being forcefully hugged by his Godfather in human form.

"Harry! Harry, Harry, Harry…" Sirius chanted, rocking with his godson on the hospital bed. "Not your fault, never your fault…" Harry tearfully pushed away from his Godfather.

"But it is! If I had used the communication mirror…" he began, only to be cut off by a sharp shake of Sirius' head.

"…Voldemort would have found another way to get to the Prophesy, and that stuttering fool of a Minister would have continued to deny His resurrection." Sirius explained softly. "Life is full of 'should have', 'could have', and 'would have'. What's important is that I'm back, none the worse for wear, thanks to…thanks to…what the bloody?!" Sirius' face took on a confused expression. "I know how I came back. I even know who brought me back. Why can't I say it?" Harry, through the drying tears on his face, looked equally confused.

"Say what, Siri? Who brought you back? The S…the se…I know what you're talking about, Siri. What's going on?" Harry tried to say the words, but they refused to come out.

"Ah! I see you're awake at last, Harry." Usagi said softly. Both Sirius and Harry turned to see Usagi and Mamoru standing by the Infirmary doors.

"Queen Serenity! Why can't we say 'Senshi'…wait, I just said it. What's going on?" Sirius spoke out. The look on his face was too much for words, and Usagi collapsed against her husband in a fit of giggling.

"Standard security measure, Mr. Black." Mamoru said wryly. "The powers of my wife and her Court can only be spoken of explicitly when two conditions are met: the first is that one or more Senshi-approved persons are present, usually meaning only one of the Court, and the second is when all persons within hearing distance can be trusted."

"Oh."

"Okay…"

Usagi straightened up from where she was hanging off Mamoru's arm, and brought herself under control. "Right. First off, enough with the 'Queen,' 'King,' and 'Lady' stuff. We have names, use them." She glared at the two wizards, but smiled to take the sting out of her words. "Secondly, if you don't mind, can we talk, Harry? There's a lot you have to understand." Usagi then turned to Sirius directly. "And Mr. Black, it would be wise of you to go see your lover…his soul still pains. Be together, heal him, then we can speak of the taming of the Beast within." She smiled, and a bit of Cosmos shone through.

"'T-taming of the Beast'? You mean…?" Sirius was in disbelief. Usagi's smile grew.

"He has suffered long enough, I think. Yes, my daughter and I can lift the Curse." Sirius couldn't contain himself…he jumped up and caught Usagi in a hug, made for the doors, then turned back to his Godson. He was torn between running off to see Remy and staying with Harry. Harry grinned widely.

"Go, Siri! I'll be here…" With this pseudo-blessing, Sirius gave a happy jump, transformed back into Padfoot, and tore off out of the Infirmary. Harry was left looking bemusedly at the wildly swing doors, before turning back to Usagi and Mamoru. "So…we have, uh, stuff to talk about? Let's talk…"

AN: Again, so sorry for letting you people hang for a quarter. Bad decision-making on my part for the classes I chose. Go to next chapter for more Siri/Remy goodness!

SilverWingPhoenix: Good for you! You guessed right!

miko no tsuki: Yep! He's back! A ghost, but back nevertheless…

DevilWench: Thanks!

Hikaru: Glad to know I've been missed…^_^ The works suck, you say? So it's a good thing I've had no time to check out stories lately…Ooh…fight! Food fight or Fist fight? I prefer the former myself, but running away is good. Blackmail: always a good thing in moderation!
