Running Away
Sirius tapped the photo with his nose, the boy looked at him and then at the photo again.
"Yeah I know they all look happy don't they, but it didn't last it never does." The boy told him, and then pointed at the picture. "Their dead and their son is at my school the year above. He was my old teacher and turned out to be a werewolf, though personally I'm not really bothered about that; he was a good teacher and wish he would come back. But now I don't know if I would want him there? No I don't think I would, he knew her and that Black guy. Potter trusts him but it's the point, look at him with my mum. He has no right! And especially now, he's already ruined her life once...and it going to happen all over again because of me..."
He started to cry again; Sirius couldn't believe it as he sat there looking at him; not completely sure what he had been told. And why the boy, which he knew now must be Owen; why would he just tell him all this, well he was a dog people liked to talk to them because they didn't talk back. But Sirius wanted to talk back, he needed too.
Before Sirius knew what he was doing he had changed back and took the boy in his arms, where he just carried on cry and wrapped his arms around his waist as Sirius rocked him.
They just sat there together for about five minutes until Owen looked up realising that the dog was gone and there was a man in its place, he didn't know why he hadn't realised before now; and wished that he hadn't and just could have stayed like that until he fell asleep and then wake up again in his bed and everything would be alright; but he knew that would never happen.
"Who...who are you?" Owen said.
Sirius lifted his head so that Owen could see him, he just stared at him for a moment; and then suddenly pushed him away and fell over before he got to his feet.
"Please wait!" Sirius shouted as Owen started to run. "Please Owen wait!"
Owen stopped suddenly and slowly turned round, Sirius started to walk over but Owen back away from him so Sirius stayed put.
"I'm sorry if I scared you." Sirius told him.
"You didn't scare me!" Owen shouted at him. "What the hell are you doing here? And...and what did you do to that dog?"
"Well erm...well I'm the dog...see." Sirius said and changes back into the dog, and then changed back again. "I'm sorry...but of course I'm not really...you loud to be seen like this."
"That's because you're a murder...I should turn you in." Owen shot at him.
"Owen if I was a murder, do you think that you would still be alive?" Sirius asked softly.
Owen didn't answer straight away. "How do you know my name? Wait a minute...this picture how did you know my mum?"
Sirius looked away from him, this time Owen came back over to him and started to hit him shouting. "You ruined her life! You ruined her life!"
Sirius didn't even try and stop him from hitting him in the chest; he just caught him as he fell into him and held him.
"I never meant to hurt her, I just loved her." Sirius whispered. "I'm sorry that you never knew her."
Owen looked up at him and wiped the tears away. "What do you mean? She's still alive, the way you're talking it sounds as though you think she's dead."
Sirius pulled him away but held him by the arms. "What do you mean she's still alive?"
"What does it sound like?" Owen said.
"She's alive; she's been alive all this time." Sirius said more to himself then to Owen, and then he looked down at him; realising something really for the first time. "Then that means that, your...well..."
"Her son yeah, that's kind of obvious isn't it?" Owen said.
"No...I mean yeah of course...but then...you're my son." Sirius said.
Owen just looked at him in debrief, not really taking in what he had said; he pulled away from him and started to back away.
"Owen please, you have to come back with me please." Sirius said following him. "Dumbledore asked us to find you."
Owen shock his head as he walked backwards, but he tipped over the curb and fell; Sirius rushed forward but he kicked him away and got and ran as he could away from him, he needed to get away from him.
Sirius ran after him, he needed to stay with him.

Severus banged on Dumbledore's door, he could hear people talking inside but he didn't care he needed to talk to him.
"Dumbledore! Dumbledore I need to speak to you now!" Severus shouted, but didn't bother to wait for an answer and just walked in.
There was Dumbledore stood in front of his desk smiling at him, but there was no one else with him.
"Severus, I thought that you was helping look for Mr Hunter." Dumbledore said pleasantly.
"They can handle that until I get back." Severus told him. "And weren't they just someone in here, I heard voice's."
"Maybe you're coming down with something Severus; you should go up and see Poppy." Dumbledore told him kindly.
"I'm not coming down with anything." Severus told him. "Who...Joce...it doesn't matter...forget that I was even here." Severus turned on his heals and walked out, but Dumbledore stopped him.
"It is alright to remember those we love Severus." Dumbledore told him.
"I didn't love her!" Severus shot at him. "She loved Black!"
"We are all capable of loving more then one person." Dumbledore told him. "And I do believe she cared for you and you for her as well."
"No I didn't...and she was with Black...she wouldn't have feelings for me." Severus said before he stormed out of the office slamming the door behind him.
"You would be surprised." Dumbledore said.

Sirius ran around the corner, but he couldn't see Owen anywhere; he had only been a couple of metre's in front and now he was gone. Sirius looked around panic setting in, thinking that he had lost him; he had lost his son again.
"Owen! Owen where are!" Sirius shouted, he didn't care how many people saw him because he needed to find him. "Owen come on, it isn't safe out here."
He didn't hear the popping noises behind him because he was shouting.
"That's right Black." A man said from behind.
Sirius spun around, there were four Auror's all pointing their wands at him; he didn't stand a chance, but he still had to try. The last thing he remembered before hitting the ground hard was reaching for his wand, and he saw a blurred figure running away.
(A/N:- another short chapter I know, I know. But it was a good one I think, you'll just have to keep checking for the next chapter; which might be Saturday now. Hopefully that one will be longer.
Anyway, thanks to yaukira glad you liked the chapter and sorry again for another short one; but I do update a lot so it's ok.
