Destiny

Chapter1: Help!

Sirius Black walked into the living room at Pranksters Place to see a very big mess. There was paint every where! Little red, blue and yellow Handprints covered the walls and furniture.

"What have you been up to!" he exclaimed at the two innocent faces looking up at him. The first, the boy giggled and the little girl sat next to him looked as if she was about to cry.

Sighing loudly Sirius flicked his wand at the mess, which instantly cleaned itself up.

"Don't cry Charlie!" said Sirius cheerfully as he picked up the girl swinging her about, which made her smile and giggle to. The boy who had stopped laughing was looking hurt that he wasn't getting any attention and without any warning, he began yelling at the top of his lungs.

Sirius plopped Charlie on the sofa, picked up the little boy, and swung him about too. He stopped crying and his emerald green eyes filled with laughter.

After a few minutes Sirius plopped the boy next to Charlie and sighed again. Looking after one toddler was hard but two! It was any man's nightmare!

It was nearly teatime so Sirius took the two toddlers into the kitchen and set them down in their high chairs.

He asked the eager house elf who had scuttled to his side, to make him some egg and chips and to make the toddlers something they would enjoy.

The house elf set off to work right away, calling two other elves to help him. They came quickly and together made the food. Two of the three house elves then took on the task of feeding the mischievous toddlers.

Sirius ducked to avoid a spoonful of food flying at his direction from Harry (the little boys) spoon. The toddler giggled loudly, Charlie joined in on the game, and soon the whole kitchen looked like a bombsite. Sirius ducked again avoiding a spoonful of mashed potato from Harry's spoon before saying to the house elves,

"Chimera, Brazen and Pyre! Will you please clean up this mess!"

"Yes sir" nodded Pyre as the house elves set to work.

Sirius left the room taking the toddlers with him and made his way to their bedroom. When the toddlers were settled into their pyjamas and were safely in bed, Sirius left them and walked down the staircase and into his study.

Thankful for the peace Sirius chilled out for a bit.

He was sorting through his files looking for some papers on muggle jobs when yelling could be heard though the whole house.

Sighing loudly Sirius set down the parchment he had been writing on and hurried upstairs.

By the time he got there not only was Harry screaming, Charlie was too and it took over an hour for Sirius to stop them screaming and even then Harry wouldn't sleep.

So while Charlie slept peacefully Sirius took Harry in to the living room and told him stories of his adventures while he was at Hogwarts. Eventually a very sleepy Harry dosed off in Sirius's arms.

After he had put Harry back to bed Sirius settled down on the sofa with a bottle of butterbeer to finally have some time to himself.

'All in a typical day at Pranksters Palace!' Sirius sighed to himself.

A/n: I know you are all going to ask who's Charlie so I am going to say this now: Charlie is Sirius's daughter she is about the same age as Harry and they are going to grow up together. Her mother was a muggle and is never mentioned as she topped (committed suicide) herself just after Charlie was born. Hope you like it so far! The next chapter will be two years later when Charlie and Harry are four.

I'm going through all the chapters re-reading them and putting mistakes right I am also going to add more to some of them.

Hope you enjoy the renewed versions and hopefully there will be less spelling and grammar mistakes!
