Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter nor am I making any money. However
if JKR wants to give me Harry I will willingly take him. Please read and
review and thanks to all those that have already done so.
A.N. Just wanted to say sorry for the spelling errors and to thank you all for pointing them out! Yikes I can't believe I did that! If you should find any more please let me know. Thanks again for reviewing!
Sirius sighed tiredly as he waved his wand and his coffee cup refilled itself. It was nearing three in the morning and he was seriously beginning to doubt that Harry was going to make his regular nightly visit to the kitchen for food. It had only taken a few days to figure out that Harry was using one of the many secret passages in the house to get from his room to the kitchen. Sirius's only questions had been why he refused to talk with anyone and when he was making his nightly trip.
"I wondered when I would find here." Harry said as stepped out of the pantry and headed for the plate of food that Mrs. Weasley had left for him in the fridge.
"I was starting to worry about you." Sirius said as he sat back and watched Harry eat.
"So how are you doing?" Sirius asked as he could not help but notice several changes in Harry's appearance and knew that once the school term began, he was going to break a lot of hearts.
"I'm doing okay." Harry sighed softly.
"Just okay? Anything you want to talk about?" Sirius asked concerned that maybe he should not have left alone for so long.
"Can we go up to my room? This might take a while and I really don't want anyone else to know." Harry said as he glanced at the clock and knew that someone was bound to walk in soon.
"Sure." Sirius said as he grabbed his coffee cup and followed Harry back through the passage to his room.
"Wow!" Sirius exclaimed as he glanced around the room he found himself in. Harry had made a lot of changes since Sirius had last been in this particular room. The room that had once been decorated in bright reds and gold's were now various shades of blue and silver. The desk had been enlarged, as had the bed, and there was a very impressive collection of potions that lined a small shelf, with a large table with several cauldrons that were in various stages of brewing potions and there books piled everywhere.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Sirius asked as he roamed around the room, looking at all the changes Harry had made before taking a seat in a large overstuffed armchair next to the one Harry was sitting in.
"Iwaswonderingifjustthetwoofuscouldgosomewhereandspendsometimetogether." Harry blurted out knowing that the words were jumbled and run together.
"Could you please repeat that?" Sirius asked, needing to make sure that Harry had said what he thought he had heard.
"Please?" Sirius pleaded softly after several minutes had passed and Harry had still remained silent.
"I want to go somewhere and spend some time together, just you and me." Harry repeated.
"The next school term, doesn't start for another month, and I was hoping that you and me could take a trip somewhere, maybe to the U.S. You know go somewhere we can have fun, but still not have any one recognize you. I was thinking that if you got a hair cut and maybe shaved, that most people here wouldn't be able to recognize you, so if we went somewhere that was."
"Harry stop." Sirius said when it seemed that Harry would ramble on for the next hour or two.
"I knew you would say no." Harry said as he dropped his head and stared at his feet. Willing the tears that threatened not to fall.
"Harry look at me." Sirius instructed. Taking a finger and placing it beneath Harry's chin and forced Harry to look him in the eye.
"I can't think of anything I would rather do, than to take a trip with you. Understand?" Sirius asked as he saw the tears in Harry's eyes.
"It will take me a day or two to get a new passport, and you will have to make the arrangements to travel on a muggle plane, but I have a credit card we can use for that. Alright?" Sirius asked as he brushed away the tear that fell from his godson's eye.
"Alright." Harry agreed feeling happier than he could ever remember being in his entire life.
"There is just one more thing." Sirius added.
"No one, not even Albus can know."
"Alright." Harry agreed having had no intention of telling the headmaster of his plans in the first place.
"Good, now get some sleep." Sirius ordered as he hugged Harry before leaving the room through the secret passage that led to the kitchen. He needed a passport and there was only one place he knew that he could get one. Making sure that no one was watching Sirius slipped out the front door, and seconds later a large black dog ran out of the shadows and down the street.
"So what is it that you wanted to talk about that could not wait until in the morning?" Remus yawned as he glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost midnight.
"I need a favor, but you have to promise not to breath a word of this to anyone." Sirius said as he locked the library door and cast a silencing spell on the room.
"Alright." Remus sighed sure that he would regret his promise in the morning.
"I want you to cut my hair. You know kind of like how James used to wear his." Sirius said as he held out a pair of scissors toward his friend.
"You want me to do what?" Remus asked sure that he had heard wrong.
"If you wont do it fine. I'll just get Harry to do it." Sirius stated as he started to leave.
"No!" Remus shouted.
"I'll do it, it's just you caught me by surprise is all." Remus said as he grabbed the scissors before Sirius could change his mind.
Sirius cringed with ever snip, but if it helped with his disguise, then it would be worth it. He still needed to shave, but Sirius was sure that it had been so long since anyone seen him without long hair and a full beard that no one would recognize him.
"You know Padfoot, I never thought I would live to see the day you willing let someone cut your hair. But it does look nice, if I have to say so myself." Remus said as he finished trimming up his friend's hair.
"Thanks Moony." Sirius said as he waved his wand and cleaned up the huge pile of hair.
"May I ask why you suddenly decided to finally cut your hair?" Remus asked as he followed Sirius from the room.
"Just felt the need for a change. Night." Sirius said as he made a quick escape to his room. He was going to have to hurry if he was not going to be late, Sirius thought to him self as he glanced at his watch and hurried into the private bathroom.
The kid was right. Sirius thought to himself as he glanced at his final appearance in the mirror. Wearing a pair of black jeans with a black long sleeved dress shirt that Harry had found for him to wear, he could not help but stare at the strange face that was reflected in the mirror.
He was just stuffing the last of his things in a small bag, when he heard Harry tap softly on the door.
"Ready?" Sirius asked as he opened the door and smiled at his godson.
"You bet." Harry grinned as he led the way quietly down the stairs. Both of them taking great care not to make any noise at all, as they slipped silently out of the house and hurried downstairs to the cab that was waiting at the bottom of the steps.
