Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Sirius was getting very excited, rushing around the house making sure everything was prefect before they set off to the station to pick Harry up for the Christmas holidays. The Christmas tree and decoration were all up, and everything looked very Christmassy.
"Do you think that we should have waited for Harry then he could have helped put the tree up?" Sirius asked walking out of the living and through to the kitchen.
"Sirius he'll love it." Electra said turning around smiling at him. "But I don't know why I had to bark, we could have brought. You know you're lucky that everything didn't burn."
"Yeah I remember what a mess that was." Sirius said smiling at her avoiding being hit by her, he turned round and then he garbed hold of her and kissed her deeply.
"We should get going." Electra told him, as he broke away. "I'm driving."
"Fine." Sirius said pouting, and then burst out laughing.
Electra pulled up outside of Kings Cross, Sirius stepped out of the car and walked round while Electra got out and locked the car up. She linked her arm with his, and they walked into the busy station to meet Harry.
"Sirius relax he's going to love the house and his room, and if he doesn't we can redecorate." Electra said pleasantly.
"Yeah, your right...oh look there's Molly and Arthur." Sirius said pointing in their direction.
They walked over to them, Electra smiled at them; while Molly rushed over and hugged them both even Sirius.
"Oh I am glad that the two of you are alright after what we heard." Molly said finally letting go of Electra, because he son's Fred and George had near enough pulled her off.
"Thanks." Electra said smiling back at them.
"Hey, you should all come over sometime to see the new house." Sirius told them.
"I bet they've already planned everything." Fred said smiling.
"Well we would have." George agreed.
They all talked for a while, while they waited for the train to come; with Sirius getting more nervous and worried that Harry wasn't going to like the house and everything they had done to it.
Sirius saw student's coming out of Platform 9 ¾, he tighten his grip on Electra's hand; she smiled and moved closer as they watched the student pile out. A few of them noticed them stood there together, a couple waved and others started to talk with the other.
"There they are!" Fred shouted, and pointed at the four of them making their way over through the crowd.
"That Malfoy kid doesn't look at all happy doesn't he?" George said as he notice him walking past with his two friends.
Draco glared at them all as he walked past over to his mother, who quickly rushed him out of the station. This time it was Electra who tighten her grip on Sirius' arm.
"Don't worry, you did the right thing and never think that you didn't." Sirius whispered to her.
She smiled at him, and then let go of him when Harry came in view. Sirius rushed over to him and took his truck off of him; he hugged him and walked back over to them over with his arm around his shoulder. Harry couldn't help but smile as he stood there, this was great; this was going to be the best Christmas ever.
"Hey Harry." Electra said smiling as she lent down and kissed him on the cheek.
Harry was going into overload, never in his whole life had he left like this; he had a family who really wanted him around and now he was going home, to his new home.
"Right then, is that everything; or can we head home?" Sirius asked him.
Harry looked up and smiled, and then looked around his friends who were also smiling.
"They can come and stay if they like, I'm sure we have room." Electra told him.
"I'll send you an owl." Ron told him.
Electra pulled out a piece on paper and handed it to Hermione. "Its our phone number."
"Oh thanks." Hermione said.
"I'll have to have a look at that when we come around." Arthur told her.
"I'm sure you'll have fun, you should see all the muggle stuff." Sirius told him smiling.
"There isn't a lot." Electra said.
"Of course there isn't." Sirius agreed but wicking at Harry.
"I saw that." Electra told him, as she put her arm around Harry. "We'll see you later."
"Yeah bye, have a great Christmas." Harry said waving back at them; well he was going to, even if no one else didn't.
"See ya Harry!" Ron shouted.
"Have a good one Potter!" Fred and George shouted after them.
"Bye Harry." Hermione said as she went off to meet her own parents.
Electra and Harry walked back to the car with Sirius a little way behind them with Harry's truck; she unlocked the boot and the back door. Harry got inside while Sirius put the truck in the boot, and then got in the car with them both.
Harry was getting just as excited as Sirius as they got nearer to the house, they were almost home. They drove down the path and parked in front of the garden side entrance.
Sirius got out of the car and nearly ran around to Harry's side, he opened the door and Harry got out; with Electra smiling at them both.
"Right Harry close your eyes." Sirius told him.
"What, I can see the house from here Sirius." Harry told him.
"It's for inside." Sirius told him as he stepped behind and covered his eyes. "Don't worry I won't let you walk into anything."
"Yeah, I remember that one; didn't Remus end up with a black eye?" Electra said thoughtfully.
"That was different." Sirius told them as he started to walk with Harry in front of him, directing his way.
"I'll get the doors shall I?" Electra said as she quickly rushed forward and unlocked the front door. "We'll come back out for your truck, well Sirius will."
Electra went into the house first and opened the living room door, she walked in and quickly looked round to make sure that everything was alright; then she turned back round and stood to the side as Harry and Sirius walked in.
Sirius smiled to himself. "Right Harry...open your eyes."
Sirius let go, and Harry open his eyes taking everything in; the Christmas tree and the decoration and cards above the fire. He even noticed that there were already a couple of presents under the tree, he walked farer into the room; he couldn't believe it he was home.
"Is it alright?" Sirius asked worried.
Harry turned round suddenly and hugged him tightly. "Its great, it's brilliant; thanks."
Sirius hugged him back smiling, then he looked up at Electra who was smiling at the two of them; Harry suddenly let go of Sirius and turned to Electra, and hugged her as well.
"Thank you." Harry told her.
She hugged him back tightly. "You don't have to say that, we're just glad that you like it."
"I love it, it's just great." Harry told her as he looked up at her and over at Sirius.
"Just wait until Christmas morning." Sirius said grinning from ear to ear.
"Why don't you check out your bedroom?" Electra suggested. "We'll be up in a minute, with your truck."
Harry let go of her grinning just like Sirius and ran out of the room and upstairs to the room he had picked out as his own. Sirius went out for his truck. Harry slowed down and stopped in front of his door and read the sign, 'Harry's bedroom'; there was a broomstick and a Gryffindor lion painted on it. Harry smiled, it was prefect and it was only his door.
He slowly pushed open his door and walked inside, there was his desk under the window and Hagrid on her stand next to it; he had sent her back with Sirius the weekend before end of term.
A wardrobe and chest of draws full of his own clothes that really fit hit, poster's up on the wall of Quiddicth teams all moving waving and flying. The rug was the Gryffindor Lion, which wicked at him and roared just no sound came out o fits mouth.
He had a double bed up against the wall, with the Gryffindor Quidditch team playing on it; and he was sure that he was the Seeker on it. He took a closer look and realised that it was really him.
He couldn't believe it as he looked around taking everything; a couple of minutes later there was a soft knock on the door and he ran over to open it. They were both stood there, he hugged Electra again and then Sirius nearly making him drop the truck.
"I take that that you liked it then." Sirius said as Harry let him through, he out the truck at the bottom of the bed. "You can change anything you want too. Because I think we got carried away a little."
"No its great." Harry told them.
"We still left panty for you to do to it." Electra told him. "Why don't we leave you to get settled, Sirius is cooking; he's a lot better then I am."
"Yeah it's much safer if I do it, that way you won't be poisoned; though her cookies came out quite nice." Sirius told him.
"Right I'll be down after I've unpacked." Harry told them.
Harry came down after unpacking all of his Hogwarts stuff, he looked into the living but they weren't there so he went through to the kitchen; they were both sat at the table talking while Electra set the table.
"Hey Harry." Sirius said looking up and smiling as he walked in and sat down at the table.
"I was erm...wondering what that thing was hanging from the ceiling?" Harry asked them.
"Oh that, it's to display your broomstick." Electra told him excitedly. "I had one when I was your age, Remus was well jealous because I was a better Quiddicth player then he was; and had a better broom."
"Oh right great, I'll put that up later." Harry said smiling.
"I'll help you." Sirius told him, and then added as casually as he could. "We're going around to your aunt and uncle tomorrow, to tell them what's going on."
Then he quickly got up and went back over to the cocker to check on tea, Electra looked at him annoyed and then turned back to Harry.
"Do we have too, can't we just send them a letter or call them." Harry suggested, and then thought about it. "Though I guess it would be good to see the looks on their faces when we tell them; it's just a shame that we can't turn up really looking like wizards."
Sirius turned around smiling again. "Course you can if you want to, pointy hat and all."
"Sirius." Electra said, but he kissed her so she couldn't be angry with him. "Nothing over the top, I won't let you leave the house."
"Fine." Sirius said.
They all had tea and stayed up late talking about tomorrow until finally Harry fell asleep on the sofa, Sirius carried him up stairs to his bedroom. As he came out he saw Electra going into theirs and followed her in closing the door behind him.
Next morning Electra was ready to go, she had a layered skirt with a long sleeved top on; with her robes over the top. She was sat in the car waiting for both Sirius and Harry, they seemed to be taking for ever to get ready; she knew they were up to something.
She looked over at the door when she heard it shut, she laughed when she saw them both walking over to them; and opened the door.
"Oh my god, you look..." Electra said smiling at them. "I don't think there are even words to describe you."
They were both in full wizards robes, in red, orange and purple; along with hats. They both looked the part, and knew that his aunt and uncle were going to completely freak out when they saw them on their door step.
They turned onto the closer, and pulled up at the bottom of the path of number 4 Privert drive. Electra looked over at Sirius and back at Harry, she was starting to think that it wasn't such a good idea that they were dressed the way they were.
"Can I change your clothes?" Electra asked them.
"No, this is how Harry's wants to dress then its fine with me." Sirius told her as he opened his door and walked round.
Harry got out as well and looked around; he could see the neighbours already looking out through the nets. He couldn't believe that he was actually here and dressed like this, he knew this was going to be great.
Electra got out and followed them up the path, Harry knocked on the door with Electra and Sirius stood behind him. A moment later the door opened and Dudley just stood there staring at them, he had suddenly gone very white.
"Hey Dudley." Harry said brightly as he pushed past him and went inside, while Dudley just continued to stare at Sirius and Electra.
"Morning." Sirius said as he followed Harry inside.
"Are you alright dear?" Electra asked him as she also followed them inside.
"Mummy, he's here!" Dudley suddenly shouted and somehow managed to run past them all and go into the living room first.
"How's here darling?" Petunia asked.
"I'm here." Harry said brightly as he walked in, all dressed in his wizards robes.
They just stared at him, not really taking in that he was here and what he was wearing until Sirius and Electra walked in behind him. Aunt Petunia jumped up and screamed when she saw him.
"He's...he's...that murder from the news." Aunt Petunia managed to say.
"Murder?" Electra asked Harry, but he didn't say anything; though Sirius thought the whole thing quite funny. "He isn't a murder, he was proven innocent during August though he was innocent the whole time, he won't hurt you. I'm Electra, I'm an Auror, it's kind of like magical police."
Neither of them seemed to take in anything she had told them, they were still looking at their clothes.
"What...what sort of name is Electra?" Aunt Petunia asked finally.
"My mum gave me my name thank you, it's a real name; you can even find it in those baby name books you have." Electra told her a little annoyed.
"What...what are you doing here and dressed like that." Uncle Vernon asked, spiting the last words at them.
"Well yes, well I'm Sirius Black." Sirius told them. "I'm Harry's godfather as you know, and this is Electra my partner."
"What so you hooked up with a...Auror...to get off all charges?" Uncle Vernon questioned.
"Well that is a good question." Electra said pleasantly.
"What, what are you talking about?" Sirius said turning around to face, and then saw that she was smiling; so he turned back. "I got us a house, so now finally harry can come live with me like he was always meant too."
"Really, what about that thing?" Aunt Petunia asked, not wanting to say anymore.
"Well we're working around that." Electra explained. "But you are still Harry's family, and we hope that even though Harry will be living with us that he can still call you family."
"If he's leaving then good riddance, just a shame that he couldn't have left sooner." Uncle Vernon told them, but Sirius stepped forward and growled at him making him step back.
"Well anyway, we just thought that we'd tell you." Harry said. "We'll be going then."
"But..." Sirius said.
"Come on, can we go now?" Harry said edging towards the door.
"I guess." Sirius said glaring at Uncle Vernon. "Aren't you going to say goodbye to him?"
Uncle Vernon's face had turned a funny shade of red, and said through gritted teeth. "Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Aunt Petunia said quickly as Electra turned round to face her quickly.
"It was nice to meet you again." Electra told her smiling.
They just stared at them as they left, Electra went straight to the car; but Harry took his time looking around and making sure that all the neighbours saw him outside the house and how he was dressed, and with Sirius.
"Get in that car boy." Uncle Vernon told him. "They can all see you...dressed like..."
"Yeah I know." Harry said smiling at them.
He was going to remember the looks on their faces forever, then he held out his hand and Sirius gave him a camera; and he quickly took a picture of the three of them almost blinding them.
"Bye then." Harry said as he walked back to the car smiling, holding the camera tightly. "Can't wait to get the picture developed."
The three Dursley's stood outside their house and watched Harry drive off with his godfather and his partner.
***
"This is the best Christmas ever!" Harry shouted at Ron excitedly handing him the picture, before Hermione came back through.
"I still can't believe that Electra would let the two of you go dressed like that." Hermione said as she walked through with Sirius carrying drinks for them all. "She is an Auror after all."
"Yeah, but she also grew up with us; we kind of rubbed off on her." Remus said brightly from the large chair next to the tree, there was even more presents under it now.
"Look at all those presents." Ron said again.
"Hey didn't Harry tell you, some of them are for you as well." Sirius told him, and then started to tick off the names. "You, Hermione, your sister Ginny, Fred and George, Bill and Charlie, your mum and dad; did I forget anyone Moony?"
"Don't think so, but Electra's always better at that sort of thing." Remus said.
"Where is she anyway?" Hermione asked.
"Working late." Remus said.
"So that means she buying more presents, she likes buying for people; and wrapping them as well can't you tell." Sirius said.
"Yeah there lovely, it's a shame that you have to open them." Hermione said.
"Yeah but we still will." Ron told them as he took a swing of his drink, looking at the picture. "They look as though they're going to die of shock."
"I think they would have if we had stayed any longer then what we did." Sirius told him.
Christmas Day
Sirius had woke up extra early and rolled over to wake Electra, she smiled at him and then got up so that they could finish off before Harry got up. Electra put on her red robes and dress and went down stairs to sort the presents out, while Sirius enchanted the lights to play Christmas carols; and then he went down stairs to wait for Harry to get up.
Harry woke up and just laid there for a couple of minutes trying to make out the voices and realised that it was singing. He smiled to himself as he flung back the covers, and got out of bedroom; he put his slippers on and pulled his robe on and ran out of his bedroom.
When Harry opened his door he felt something softly falling onto his head, he looked up and saw it was snow; he smiled to himself he knew that he had a fixed grin but he didn't care this was all great. He tried to walk calmly down the stairs but ended up running, and burst into the living where more snow rained on him from above the door.
Sirius and Electra stood up at once as Harry just stood there letting the snow rain down on him.
"See I told you he would love that." Sirius told Electra. "Isn't it great Harry? Come on then, you better start with your presents or we'll be opening all day."
Sirius grabbed the nearest presents and handed it to Harry who took it and sat down on the floor in front of the tree with Sirius, and Electra behind them on the sofa.
Sirius had been right, it had taken them ages to get through all the presents; which had all been nicely wrapped and was now just a pile of rubbish. But Electra didn't care because they were both happy and so was she. There were still a couple of presents left which were for Remus when he came round for tea.
Harry had been spoilt rotten they had gotten him nearly everything, from the magical world and the muggle; they had both wanted it to be the best ever. But was now thinking that they had gone completely over the top, but Harry was having a brilliant time so they didn't really care.
"Right why don't you go up and get changed into some of your new robes, and then we'll set all this up." Electra told him. "And Sirius will make us all breakfast."
Sirius pulled her down onto the floor with them and tickled her, and kissed her.
"I guest I could do that, couldn't I Harry." Sirius said smiling at them both.
Harry went upstairs and got changed while Electra cleared up and Sirius cooked them breakfast, but when Harry came back down Remus had already arrived.
"You don't mind do you Harry, but I got Remus to come round earlier?" Electra asked him sat next to Remus.
"No course not." Harry sat as he sat down on the other side to him. "Great new robes."
"Thanks, Electra got them me." Remus said. "Well a long with a few other things so I've been told off Sirius."
"Well I had to give him those early." Electra told them.
"Course you did, I'm surprised that those one lasted as long as they did." Sirius said as he gave Remus his first.
They all ate breakfast while Harry told Remus everything he had gotten, with Remus looking over at Sirius and Electra every so often when Harry went into long detailed accounts about what the thing's did. And then they finally went through to the living and set up, the new computer and DVD player.
Harry played on a couple of his computer games, with Sirius and Remus; until Sirius had to go in and start dinner. He got it all started and then went back through so that they could watch Remus open his presents.
"Do I have to do this with you all watching?" Remus asked for the tenth time.
"See you should have come earlier this morning, you'll have to next year." Harry told him brightly as he handed Remus another present to open.
"Anyway we all have one more present at tea time to open." Electra told them as Remus finally finished, and Harry was picking out a DVD to watch. (We do that, have one present for dinner and we also have one for New Year.)
The film finished and Electra went through to the kitchen with Sirius, so that she could set the table and so he could check on the food. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Everything's going great, and he's having a brilliant time." Sirius said.
They all sat down for tea, they pulled their crackers first (wizard's crackers of course) and then they started eating.
"I never knew that you were such a good cook." Harry said.
"Well he had to learn, because he loves to eat just as much." Remus said, as he took a sip of his wine.
After the meal was over, and before desert Electra left the room and came back with three more presents. She handed them out and they all opened them, but Harry looked at Electra who didn't have one herself.
"Don't worry I didn't forget you." Sirius told her smiling, he pulled out a small box from inside his robes and went down on one knee in front of her; he took her hand in his. "Electra, my darling, will you marry me?"
Electra just sat there for a moment smiling at him, and then she suddenly flung her arms around him and kissed him.
"Of course I will." Electra said.
Sirius slipped the ring onto her figure; it was white gold with a period in the centre and diamonds on either side.
"Hey Remus, we're going to be brothers." Sirius said as he twirled Electra around the room.
New Years Day
Harry had told all his friends what had happened over Christmas; he was waiting for them to come round; well back round because they had stayed till late bringing in the New Year.
"Come on Harry, I've got one more surprise." Sirius told him as he rushed into his bedroom. "But we have to go to Hogwarts; do you think that we could get Electra there without her thinking there's anything up?"
"Of course we can." Harry said positively. "Why though?"
"I'll fill you in when we get there, just encase she hears." Sirius said excitedly.
They weren't completely sure how they did it, but somehow they had gotten Electra to Hogwarts without her asking too many questions that they didn't want to answer. The hard thing was when they arrived; they all stood outside the Great Hall.
"Electra." Sirius said holding her hand. "I know that I've only just asked you, but we've both waited enough; will you marry me?"
"Sirius I've already said yes." Electra said smiling at him.
"I know that, but will you marry me today; here in the Great Hall?" Sirius asked her.
"Oh god Sirius." Electra breathed.
"So is that a yes?" Sirius asked, she grabbed hold of him and kissed him. "Great, everything's fixed; go get changed into your dress."
"What, you had everything planned?" Electra said not letting go of him.
"Of course." Sirius said. "Though the hard thing was who to have as best man, I would've had Remus but of course he's your brother and going to give you away; so I asked Harry."
Electra smiled brightly at him and kissed him again. "He'll be great. Back in a bit."
Electra ran off up the stairs with Molly and Tonks, and Hermione and Ginny behind them. She changed into a beautiful white and silver grown, with robes. She stood in her room looking at herself in the mirror, when someone knocked softly on the door.
"Come in." Electra called, she turned round excepting to see Remus but it was Severus.
He stopped suddenly when he saw her stood there. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you." Electra said.
Severus knew what Lucias had done to her while he was in his form, and wished that he could have taken it all back. She smiled at him suddenly as she walked over and hugged him.
"Thank you Severus, if it weren't for you I wouldn't be here today." Electra told him.
"If it weren't for me you would have never been through all that to start with." Severus told her.
"You can't know that." Electra told him as she stepped back. "So thank you; and I know that you and Sirius have never really gotten along, but he is a good man just like you are."
"Am I?" Severus asked.
Electra looked at him a little worried by the question as he stepped closer, he touched her face softly.
"If I was a good man then I wouldn't want to kiss you now." Severus told her. "I always thought that I wanted you to get back at your brother and his friends for what they did to me, but looking at you now..."
"Don't please." Electra said as she stepped around him and headed towards the door, which opened and Remus walked in.
"What are you doing here?" Remus demanded as soon as he saw Severus stood there.
Severus pulled out something from his pocket and handed it to Electra. "Something old."
Electra looked down at her hand, it was a necklace which she had thought she lost years again back when she was at school; it was a love heart with the letters E&S. Sirius had given it to her as a valentine. She fasten it and smiled at Remus.
"I'm ready." Electra said as she linked his arm. "So big brother?"
"Yes." Remus answered.
She hugged him tightly. "That's all I ever wanted to hear, now come on I can't be late."
Remus twirled Electra around with the music playing somewhere in the distance, and all their friends dancing around them.
"So how does it feel Mrs Black?" Remus asked her smiling.
"Great." Electra said smiling as she rested her head against his shoulder. "I'm glad that you came around, it might have taken you years but you got there; and thanks for giving me away."
"Of course, you are my little sister after all." Remus said.
"Married little sister." Sirius said as he stopped in front of them. "So can I dance with my wife?"
"Well I don't know now if I'm ready to give her up." Remus teased, he kissed her on the cheek and then stepped aside for Sirius.
He watched them dancing and kissing.
"I can't believe that you found that old thing." Sirius said touching the necklace.
"I know, I found it just before Remus brought me down; what are the odds hey" Electra said before she kissed her husband again.
(A/N:- right I think it might just be the one chapter for today, well it is a lot longer then normal; hoped you enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next chapter.
Thanks too-
Sweet Lory Black, glad that you enjoyed the last two chapters and hoped that you enjoyed this one as well. And that you like how I've written the characters, just hope that I can carry on doing it. Oh and the reason why I've written so much is because I've got a lot of time on my hands because I've been off sick from work, but am going back next week; so I won't be updating as often as of next week. But you'll still hear from me.
Padfoots Lova, glad you enjoyed everything and hoped you this chapter just as much as the rest of the story. I love Sirius as well, that why I have him in all of my stories; because I can't believe that he was killed off.
Greek Witch, I hoped the email cleared everything up for you? And that you carry on enjoying the story.
Thanks again,
Lady Siren, Lady Nissa
Sirius was getting very excited, rushing around the house making sure everything was prefect before they set off to the station to pick Harry up for the Christmas holidays. The Christmas tree and decoration were all up, and everything looked very Christmassy.
"Do you think that we should have waited for Harry then he could have helped put the tree up?" Sirius asked walking out of the living and through to the kitchen.
"Sirius he'll love it." Electra said turning around smiling at him. "But I don't know why I had to bark, we could have brought. You know you're lucky that everything didn't burn."
"Yeah I remember what a mess that was." Sirius said smiling at her avoiding being hit by her, he turned round and then he garbed hold of her and kissed her deeply.
"We should get going." Electra told him, as he broke away. "I'm driving."
"Fine." Sirius said pouting, and then burst out laughing.
Electra pulled up outside of Kings Cross, Sirius stepped out of the car and walked round while Electra got out and locked the car up. She linked her arm with his, and they walked into the busy station to meet Harry.
"Sirius relax he's going to love the house and his room, and if he doesn't we can redecorate." Electra said pleasantly.
"Yeah, your right...oh look there's Molly and Arthur." Sirius said pointing in their direction.
They walked over to them, Electra smiled at them; while Molly rushed over and hugged them both even Sirius.
"Oh I am glad that the two of you are alright after what we heard." Molly said finally letting go of Electra, because he son's Fred and George had near enough pulled her off.
"Thanks." Electra said smiling back at them.
"Hey, you should all come over sometime to see the new house." Sirius told them.
"I bet they've already planned everything." Fred said smiling.
"Well we would have." George agreed.
They all talked for a while, while they waited for the train to come; with Sirius getting more nervous and worried that Harry wasn't going to like the house and everything they had done to it.
Sirius saw student's coming out of Platform 9 ¾, he tighten his grip on Electra's hand; she smiled and moved closer as they watched the student pile out. A few of them noticed them stood there together, a couple waved and others started to talk with the other.
"There they are!" Fred shouted, and pointed at the four of them making their way over through the crowd.
"That Malfoy kid doesn't look at all happy doesn't he?" George said as he notice him walking past with his two friends.
Draco glared at them all as he walked past over to his mother, who quickly rushed him out of the station. This time it was Electra who tighten her grip on Sirius' arm.
"Don't worry, you did the right thing and never think that you didn't." Sirius whispered to her.
She smiled at him, and then let go of him when Harry came in view. Sirius rushed over to him and took his truck off of him; he hugged him and walked back over to them over with his arm around his shoulder. Harry couldn't help but smile as he stood there, this was great; this was going to be the best Christmas ever.
"Hey Harry." Electra said smiling as she lent down and kissed him on the cheek.
Harry was going into overload, never in his whole life had he left like this; he had a family who really wanted him around and now he was going home, to his new home.
"Right then, is that everything; or can we head home?" Sirius asked him.
Harry looked up and smiled, and then looked around his friends who were also smiling.
"They can come and stay if they like, I'm sure we have room." Electra told him.
"I'll send you an owl." Ron told him.
Electra pulled out a piece on paper and handed it to Hermione. "Its our phone number."
"Oh thanks." Hermione said.
"I'll have to have a look at that when we come around." Arthur told her.
"I'm sure you'll have fun, you should see all the muggle stuff." Sirius told him smiling.
"There isn't a lot." Electra said.
"Of course there isn't." Sirius agreed but wicking at Harry.
"I saw that." Electra told him, as she put her arm around Harry. "We'll see you later."
"Yeah bye, have a great Christmas." Harry said waving back at them; well he was going to, even if no one else didn't.
"See ya Harry!" Ron shouted.
"Have a good one Potter!" Fred and George shouted after them.
"Bye Harry." Hermione said as she went off to meet her own parents.
Electra and Harry walked back to the car with Sirius a little way behind them with Harry's truck; she unlocked the boot and the back door. Harry got inside while Sirius put the truck in the boot, and then got in the car with them both.
Harry was getting just as excited as Sirius as they got nearer to the house, they were almost home. They drove down the path and parked in front of the garden side entrance.
Sirius got out of the car and nearly ran around to Harry's side, he opened the door and Harry got out; with Electra smiling at them both.
"Right Harry close your eyes." Sirius told him.
"What, I can see the house from here Sirius." Harry told him.
"It's for inside." Sirius told him as he stepped behind and covered his eyes. "Don't worry I won't let you walk into anything."
"Yeah, I remember that one; didn't Remus end up with a black eye?" Electra said thoughtfully.
"That was different." Sirius told them as he started to walk with Harry in front of him, directing his way.
"I'll get the doors shall I?" Electra said as she quickly rushed forward and unlocked the front door. "We'll come back out for your truck, well Sirius will."
Electra went into the house first and opened the living room door, she walked in and quickly looked round to make sure that everything was alright; then she turned back round and stood to the side as Harry and Sirius walked in.
Sirius smiled to himself. "Right Harry...open your eyes."
Sirius let go, and Harry open his eyes taking everything in; the Christmas tree and the decoration and cards above the fire. He even noticed that there were already a couple of presents under the tree, he walked farer into the room; he couldn't believe it he was home.
"Is it alright?" Sirius asked worried.
Harry turned round suddenly and hugged him tightly. "Its great, it's brilliant; thanks."
Sirius hugged him back smiling, then he looked up at Electra who was smiling at the two of them; Harry suddenly let go of Sirius and turned to Electra, and hugged her as well.
"Thank you." Harry told her.
She hugged him back tightly. "You don't have to say that, we're just glad that you like it."
"I love it, it's just great." Harry told her as he looked up at her and over at Sirius.
"Just wait until Christmas morning." Sirius said grinning from ear to ear.
"Why don't you check out your bedroom?" Electra suggested. "We'll be up in a minute, with your truck."
Harry let go of her grinning just like Sirius and ran out of the room and upstairs to the room he had picked out as his own. Sirius went out for his truck. Harry slowed down and stopped in front of his door and read the sign, 'Harry's bedroom'; there was a broomstick and a Gryffindor lion painted on it. Harry smiled, it was prefect and it was only his door.
He slowly pushed open his door and walked inside, there was his desk under the window and Hagrid on her stand next to it; he had sent her back with Sirius the weekend before end of term.
A wardrobe and chest of draws full of his own clothes that really fit hit, poster's up on the wall of Quiddicth teams all moving waving and flying. The rug was the Gryffindor Lion, which wicked at him and roared just no sound came out o fits mouth.
He had a double bed up against the wall, with the Gryffindor Quidditch team playing on it; and he was sure that he was the Seeker on it. He took a closer look and realised that it was really him.
He couldn't believe it as he looked around taking everything; a couple of minutes later there was a soft knock on the door and he ran over to open it. They were both stood there, he hugged Electra again and then Sirius nearly making him drop the truck.
"I take that that you liked it then." Sirius said as Harry let him through, he out the truck at the bottom of the bed. "You can change anything you want too. Because I think we got carried away a little."
"No its great." Harry told them.
"We still left panty for you to do to it." Electra told him. "Why don't we leave you to get settled, Sirius is cooking; he's a lot better then I am."
"Yeah it's much safer if I do it, that way you won't be poisoned; though her cookies came out quite nice." Sirius told him.
"Right I'll be down after I've unpacked." Harry told them.
Harry came down after unpacking all of his Hogwarts stuff, he looked into the living but they weren't there so he went through to the kitchen; they were both sat at the table talking while Electra set the table.
"Hey Harry." Sirius said looking up and smiling as he walked in and sat down at the table.
"I was erm...wondering what that thing was hanging from the ceiling?" Harry asked them.
"Oh that, it's to display your broomstick." Electra told him excitedly. "I had one when I was your age, Remus was well jealous because I was a better Quiddicth player then he was; and had a better broom."
"Oh right great, I'll put that up later." Harry said smiling.
"I'll help you." Sirius told him, and then added as casually as he could. "We're going around to your aunt and uncle tomorrow, to tell them what's going on."
Then he quickly got up and went back over to the cocker to check on tea, Electra looked at him annoyed and then turned back to Harry.
"Do we have too, can't we just send them a letter or call them." Harry suggested, and then thought about it. "Though I guess it would be good to see the looks on their faces when we tell them; it's just a shame that we can't turn up really looking like wizards."
Sirius turned around smiling again. "Course you can if you want to, pointy hat and all."
"Sirius." Electra said, but he kissed her so she couldn't be angry with him. "Nothing over the top, I won't let you leave the house."
"Fine." Sirius said.
They all had tea and stayed up late talking about tomorrow until finally Harry fell asleep on the sofa, Sirius carried him up stairs to his bedroom. As he came out he saw Electra going into theirs and followed her in closing the door behind him.
Next morning Electra was ready to go, she had a layered skirt with a long sleeved top on; with her robes over the top. She was sat in the car waiting for both Sirius and Harry, they seemed to be taking for ever to get ready; she knew they were up to something.
She looked over at the door when she heard it shut, she laughed when she saw them both walking over to them; and opened the door.
"Oh my god, you look..." Electra said smiling at them. "I don't think there are even words to describe you."
They were both in full wizards robes, in red, orange and purple; along with hats. They both looked the part, and knew that his aunt and uncle were going to completely freak out when they saw them on their door step.
They turned onto the closer, and pulled up at the bottom of the path of number 4 Privert drive. Electra looked over at Sirius and back at Harry, she was starting to think that it wasn't such a good idea that they were dressed the way they were.
"Can I change your clothes?" Electra asked them.
"No, this is how Harry's wants to dress then its fine with me." Sirius told her as he opened his door and walked round.
Harry got out as well and looked around; he could see the neighbours already looking out through the nets. He couldn't believe that he was actually here and dressed like this, he knew this was going to be great.
Electra got out and followed them up the path, Harry knocked on the door with Electra and Sirius stood behind him. A moment later the door opened and Dudley just stood there staring at them, he had suddenly gone very white.
"Hey Dudley." Harry said brightly as he pushed past him and went inside, while Dudley just continued to stare at Sirius and Electra.
"Morning." Sirius said as he followed Harry inside.
"Are you alright dear?" Electra asked him as she also followed them inside.
"Mummy, he's here!" Dudley suddenly shouted and somehow managed to run past them all and go into the living room first.
"How's here darling?" Petunia asked.
"I'm here." Harry said brightly as he walked in, all dressed in his wizards robes.
They just stared at him, not really taking in that he was here and what he was wearing until Sirius and Electra walked in behind him. Aunt Petunia jumped up and screamed when she saw him.
"He's...he's...that murder from the news." Aunt Petunia managed to say.
"Murder?" Electra asked Harry, but he didn't say anything; though Sirius thought the whole thing quite funny. "He isn't a murder, he was proven innocent during August though he was innocent the whole time, he won't hurt you. I'm Electra, I'm an Auror, it's kind of like magical police."
Neither of them seemed to take in anything she had told them, they were still looking at their clothes.
"What...what sort of name is Electra?" Aunt Petunia asked finally.
"My mum gave me my name thank you, it's a real name; you can even find it in those baby name books you have." Electra told her a little annoyed.
"What...what are you doing here and dressed like that." Uncle Vernon asked, spiting the last words at them.
"Well yes, well I'm Sirius Black." Sirius told them. "I'm Harry's godfather as you know, and this is Electra my partner."
"What so you hooked up with a...Auror...to get off all charges?" Uncle Vernon questioned.
"Well that is a good question." Electra said pleasantly.
"What, what are you talking about?" Sirius said turning around to face, and then saw that she was smiling; so he turned back. "I got us a house, so now finally harry can come live with me like he was always meant too."
"Really, what about that thing?" Aunt Petunia asked, not wanting to say anymore.
"Well we're working around that." Electra explained. "But you are still Harry's family, and we hope that even though Harry will be living with us that he can still call you family."
"If he's leaving then good riddance, just a shame that he couldn't have left sooner." Uncle Vernon told them, but Sirius stepped forward and growled at him making him step back.
"Well anyway, we just thought that we'd tell you." Harry said. "We'll be going then."
"But..." Sirius said.
"Come on, can we go now?" Harry said edging towards the door.
"I guess." Sirius said glaring at Uncle Vernon. "Aren't you going to say goodbye to him?"
Uncle Vernon's face had turned a funny shade of red, and said through gritted teeth. "Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Aunt Petunia said quickly as Electra turned round to face her quickly.
"It was nice to meet you again." Electra told her smiling.
They just stared at them as they left, Electra went straight to the car; but Harry took his time looking around and making sure that all the neighbours saw him outside the house and how he was dressed, and with Sirius.
"Get in that car boy." Uncle Vernon told him. "They can all see you...dressed like..."
"Yeah I know." Harry said smiling at them.
He was going to remember the looks on their faces forever, then he held out his hand and Sirius gave him a camera; and he quickly took a picture of the three of them almost blinding them.
"Bye then." Harry said as he walked back to the car smiling, holding the camera tightly. "Can't wait to get the picture developed."
The three Dursley's stood outside their house and watched Harry drive off with his godfather and his partner.
***
"This is the best Christmas ever!" Harry shouted at Ron excitedly handing him the picture, before Hermione came back through.
"I still can't believe that Electra would let the two of you go dressed like that." Hermione said as she walked through with Sirius carrying drinks for them all. "She is an Auror after all."
"Yeah, but she also grew up with us; we kind of rubbed off on her." Remus said brightly from the large chair next to the tree, there was even more presents under it now.
"Look at all those presents." Ron said again.
"Hey didn't Harry tell you, some of them are for you as well." Sirius told him, and then started to tick off the names. "You, Hermione, your sister Ginny, Fred and George, Bill and Charlie, your mum and dad; did I forget anyone Moony?"
"Don't think so, but Electra's always better at that sort of thing." Remus said.
"Where is she anyway?" Hermione asked.
"Working late." Remus said.
"So that means she buying more presents, she likes buying for people; and wrapping them as well can't you tell." Sirius said.
"Yeah there lovely, it's a shame that you have to open them." Hermione said.
"Yeah but we still will." Ron told them as he took a swing of his drink, looking at the picture. "They look as though they're going to die of shock."
"I think they would have if we had stayed any longer then what we did." Sirius told him.
Christmas Day
Sirius had woke up extra early and rolled over to wake Electra, she smiled at him and then got up so that they could finish off before Harry got up. Electra put on her red robes and dress and went down stairs to sort the presents out, while Sirius enchanted the lights to play Christmas carols; and then he went down stairs to wait for Harry to get up.
Harry woke up and just laid there for a couple of minutes trying to make out the voices and realised that it was singing. He smiled to himself as he flung back the covers, and got out of bedroom; he put his slippers on and pulled his robe on and ran out of his bedroom.
When Harry opened his door he felt something softly falling onto his head, he looked up and saw it was snow; he smiled to himself he knew that he had a fixed grin but he didn't care this was all great. He tried to walk calmly down the stairs but ended up running, and burst into the living where more snow rained on him from above the door.
Sirius and Electra stood up at once as Harry just stood there letting the snow rain down on him.
"See I told you he would love that." Sirius told Electra. "Isn't it great Harry? Come on then, you better start with your presents or we'll be opening all day."
Sirius grabbed the nearest presents and handed it to Harry who took it and sat down on the floor in front of the tree with Sirius, and Electra behind them on the sofa.
Sirius had been right, it had taken them ages to get through all the presents; which had all been nicely wrapped and was now just a pile of rubbish. But Electra didn't care because they were both happy and so was she. There were still a couple of presents left which were for Remus when he came round for tea.
Harry had been spoilt rotten they had gotten him nearly everything, from the magical world and the muggle; they had both wanted it to be the best ever. But was now thinking that they had gone completely over the top, but Harry was having a brilliant time so they didn't really care.
"Right why don't you go up and get changed into some of your new robes, and then we'll set all this up." Electra told him. "And Sirius will make us all breakfast."
Sirius pulled her down onto the floor with them and tickled her, and kissed her.
"I guest I could do that, couldn't I Harry." Sirius said smiling at them both.
Harry went upstairs and got changed while Electra cleared up and Sirius cooked them breakfast, but when Harry came back down Remus had already arrived.
"You don't mind do you Harry, but I got Remus to come round earlier?" Electra asked him sat next to Remus.
"No course not." Harry sat as he sat down on the other side to him. "Great new robes."
"Thanks, Electra got them me." Remus said. "Well a long with a few other things so I've been told off Sirius."
"Well I had to give him those early." Electra told them.
"Course you did, I'm surprised that those one lasted as long as they did." Sirius said as he gave Remus his first.
They all ate breakfast while Harry told Remus everything he had gotten, with Remus looking over at Sirius and Electra every so often when Harry went into long detailed accounts about what the thing's did. And then they finally went through to the living and set up, the new computer and DVD player.
Harry played on a couple of his computer games, with Sirius and Remus; until Sirius had to go in and start dinner. He got it all started and then went back through so that they could watch Remus open his presents.
"Do I have to do this with you all watching?" Remus asked for the tenth time.
"See you should have come earlier this morning, you'll have to next year." Harry told him brightly as he handed Remus another present to open.
"Anyway we all have one more present at tea time to open." Electra told them as Remus finally finished, and Harry was picking out a DVD to watch. (We do that, have one present for dinner and we also have one for New Year.)
The film finished and Electra went through to the kitchen with Sirius, so that she could set the table and so he could check on the food. He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Everything's going great, and he's having a brilliant time." Sirius said.
They all sat down for tea, they pulled their crackers first (wizard's crackers of course) and then they started eating.
"I never knew that you were such a good cook." Harry said.
"Well he had to learn, because he loves to eat just as much." Remus said, as he took a sip of his wine.
After the meal was over, and before desert Electra left the room and came back with three more presents. She handed them out and they all opened them, but Harry looked at Electra who didn't have one herself.
"Don't worry I didn't forget you." Sirius told her smiling, he pulled out a small box from inside his robes and went down on one knee in front of her; he took her hand in his. "Electra, my darling, will you marry me?"
Electra just sat there for a moment smiling at him, and then she suddenly flung her arms around him and kissed him.
"Of course I will." Electra said.
Sirius slipped the ring onto her figure; it was white gold with a period in the centre and diamonds on either side.
"Hey Remus, we're going to be brothers." Sirius said as he twirled Electra around the room.
New Years Day
Harry had told all his friends what had happened over Christmas; he was waiting for them to come round; well back round because they had stayed till late bringing in the New Year.
"Come on Harry, I've got one more surprise." Sirius told him as he rushed into his bedroom. "But we have to go to Hogwarts; do you think that we could get Electra there without her thinking there's anything up?"
"Of course we can." Harry said positively. "Why though?"
"I'll fill you in when we get there, just encase she hears." Sirius said excitedly.
They weren't completely sure how they did it, but somehow they had gotten Electra to Hogwarts without her asking too many questions that they didn't want to answer. The hard thing was when they arrived; they all stood outside the Great Hall.
"Electra." Sirius said holding her hand. "I know that I've only just asked you, but we've both waited enough; will you marry me?"
"Sirius I've already said yes." Electra said smiling at him.
"I know that, but will you marry me today; here in the Great Hall?" Sirius asked her.
"Oh god Sirius." Electra breathed.
"So is that a yes?" Sirius asked, she grabbed hold of him and kissed him. "Great, everything's fixed; go get changed into your dress."
"What, you had everything planned?" Electra said not letting go of him.
"Of course." Sirius said. "Though the hard thing was who to have as best man, I would've had Remus but of course he's your brother and going to give you away; so I asked Harry."
Electra smiled brightly at him and kissed him again. "He'll be great. Back in a bit."
Electra ran off up the stairs with Molly and Tonks, and Hermione and Ginny behind them. She changed into a beautiful white and silver grown, with robes. She stood in her room looking at herself in the mirror, when someone knocked softly on the door.
"Come in." Electra called, she turned round excepting to see Remus but it was Severus.
He stopped suddenly when he saw her stood there. "You look beautiful."
"Thank you." Electra said.
Severus knew what Lucias had done to her while he was in his form, and wished that he could have taken it all back. She smiled at him suddenly as she walked over and hugged him.
"Thank you Severus, if it weren't for you I wouldn't be here today." Electra told him.
"If it weren't for me you would have never been through all that to start with." Severus told her.
"You can't know that." Electra told him as she stepped back. "So thank you; and I know that you and Sirius have never really gotten along, but he is a good man just like you are."
"Am I?" Severus asked.
Electra looked at him a little worried by the question as he stepped closer, he touched her face softly.
"If I was a good man then I wouldn't want to kiss you now." Severus told her. "I always thought that I wanted you to get back at your brother and his friends for what they did to me, but looking at you now..."
"Don't please." Electra said as she stepped around him and headed towards the door, which opened and Remus walked in.
"What are you doing here?" Remus demanded as soon as he saw Severus stood there.
Severus pulled out something from his pocket and handed it to Electra. "Something old."
Electra looked down at her hand, it was a necklace which she had thought she lost years again back when she was at school; it was a love heart with the letters E&S. Sirius had given it to her as a valentine. She fasten it and smiled at Remus.
"I'm ready." Electra said as she linked his arm. "So big brother?"
"Yes." Remus answered.
She hugged him tightly. "That's all I ever wanted to hear, now come on I can't be late."
Remus twirled Electra around with the music playing somewhere in the distance, and all their friends dancing around them.
"So how does it feel Mrs Black?" Remus asked her smiling.
"Great." Electra said smiling as she rested her head against his shoulder. "I'm glad that you came around, it might have taken you years but you got there; and thanks for giving me away."
"Of course, you are my little sister after all." Remus said.
"Married little sister." Sirius said as he stopped in front of them. "So can I dance with my wife?"
"Well I don't know now if I'm ready to give her up." Remus teased, he kissed her on the cheek and then stepped aside for Sirius.
He watched them dancing and kissing.
"I can't believe that you found that old thing." Sirius said touching the necklace.
"I know, I found it just before Remus brought me down; what are the odds hey" Electra said before she kissed her husband again.
(A/N:- right I think it might just be the one chapter for today, well it is a lot longer then normal; hoped you enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next chapter.
Thanks too-
Sweet Lory Black, glad that you enjoyed the last two chapters and hoped that you enjoyed this one as well. And that you like how I've written the characters, just hope that I can carry on doing it. Oh and the reason why I've written so much is because I've got a lot of time on my hands because I've been off sick from work, but am going back next week; so I won't be updating as often as of next week. But you'll still hear from me.
Padfoots Lova, glad you enjoyed everything and hoped you this chapter just as much as the rest of the story. I love Sirius as well, that why I have him in all of my stories; because I can't believe that he was killed off.
Greek Witch, I hoped the email cleared everything up for you? And that you carry on enjoying the story.
Thanks again,
Lady Siren, Lady Nissa
