I know I haven't updated in a while, I've been busy, OKAY? But here is
chapter 4, I hope you enjoy it.
Two weeks later Harry was up and about again. He was back at work, which he missed greatly, and he had the one thing he wanted back, Nina. Sirius had even improved his mood, a little. Harry was seizing life with a new outlook: live life for today. His experience made him realize how much he could miss on. But as things started to settle back into the norm, Sirius started to go back to his old withdrawn ways......
"Why don't you come out with Nina and me?" Harry said
"Oh no, you two have fun, I'll be fine here."
"No you won't, now come on!" Harry said, trying to pull him up
"Why? I'll just put a damper on your fun, I'm an old man, Harry."
"No you're not. Now stop feeling sorry for you self, get changed, and let's go!"
"If you say so Harry."
"Oh, I do."
"Maybe I should go..." Sirius said after only an hour
"No, you're staying and that's that." Answered Harry
"Harry, this is a place for young people to come and have a good time, I'm not young."
"You're not old either, you're forty-four!"
"That's old, Harry! There is no one..." he was going to say "over thirty here" but he stopped when he saw a beautiful girl walk out onto the dance floor, 'she looks about my age' he thought.
"Sirius?"
"I'll be right back, Harry." And he walked out onto the floor
"Looks like Sirius fancies that girl." Nina said
"Her? No, she has to be ten years younger then him."
"I don't think so, she looks good, but I still think she's around his age..."
"Well, I hope so, I mean, He hasn't had anyone since Sara."
"Who's Sara?"
"His wife, well I guess ex-wife. She died when a car hit her; she was five months pregnant. Sirius blames himself."
"Why?"
"They had a fight and she went to talk a walk, the car came out of nowhere. They were living in a muggle town because Sara was muggle-born and wanted to be close to her parents, they died a week after her."
"That's awful"
"Yeah, it is. But look at him! He looks happy for the first time since...well, since after he met me."
"Why was he sad for so long?"
"Well, fist Sara died, then my parents, his best friends, and then he was convicted of murders he didn't commit. When he met me, I guess I reminded him of my father, but he seemed happy, for a while I didn't see him for almost two years and he was really depressed the next time I saw him,"
"He's had a really rough life, you should be nicer to him."
"I try, but I can't stand him drunk all the time. He's so much better than that, I know he is."
"I guess you're right..."
The night proved to be a very interesting one. Harry and Nina had an excellent time, dancing and being happy to be together. Sirius spent the whole night dancing with the same woman, and he looked quite contented...
"So, what's your name?"
"Sara"
"Excuse me?"
"Sara, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, it's just...my wife's name was Sara, she died twenty-five years ago."
"I'm so sorry"
"It's alright, I've gotten over it, sort of." He lied
They stayed out all night; Harry and Nina left around one, without Sirius. He left sometime later, with Sara. Sirius took her back to his place and they talked the rest of the night and into the next day. He loved everything about her, the way her short, shiny light brown hair bobbed right under her earlobes, the was she swayed when she walked, the way she talked faster when she was excited about something, and the way he had to bend down to kiss her, as he was a strapping six foot and she was only five foot five.
"Sirius?" said Harry, as he walked into his godfather's house "Are you here?"
"Yes Harry" came a voice from upstairs
"What are you-"Harry started as Sirius came down the stairs, hair everywhere, "doing?" he finished, but just as he did a beautiful girl came down the stirs behind him
"Harry, this is," she hesitated and minuet, "Sara."
"I thought she-"
"A different Sara, Harry."
"Oh. Well, hello Sara. I'm Harry, his delinquent godson." He said with a laugh, shaking her hand
"Hello, Harry. Sirius has told me so much about you." She said returning the handshake and smiling warmly
"Really?" he eyed Sirius suspiciously
"Yes Harry,"Sirius said, "We have talked quite a bit about you. But don't worry, it's all good." He added "mostly" in a whisper
"I heard that." He said, "Well, now that were all up, lets have some breakfast."
"Where's Nina?" Sirius asked
"She has to work. Those damn people at Hogwarts," he said with a wink, "Making her work over the summer holiday."
"What about you, don't you work? Ever?" Sirius said with a laugh, he knew full well Harry loved his work and worked most of the time
"I wanted to take a brake, we have had complaint after compliant about postponing the Quidditch World Cup. People don't seem to care it's for their safety. We need more time to protect the place."
"Well, I guess that's a legitimate excuse..." Sirius said, winking at Harry
"Thanks mate."
"Sure."
"Come on boys!" said Sara from the kitchen
As they walked in, they saw Sara make a full breakfast of eggs, ham, bacon, coffee, fresh squeezed juice (squeezing itself), and plates of toast appear form nowhere.
"Wow" said Harry
"Yeah, you really know your stuff Sara." Said Sirius
"Thank you, I get it from my mother. She worked in the muggle world and a maid, her clients never figured out how she could clean a room and make a five course meal in the blink of an eye. I think she just did a memory charm so they thought it had taken much longer."
"So what do you do, Sara?" asked Harry
"I work at the Ministry, in the under aged magic department."
"Really? I work in the department of magical games and sports."
"Hmm. I wonder why we have never seen each other?"
"I don't know..."
They heard the door open and someone walk in, "Hello?" the person said
"In the kitchen, Remus." Answered Sirius
"Oh, hello Harry. Hello..."
"Sara" she supplied, shaking his hand, "Sara Seseristo"
"Remus Lupin, pleased to meet you."
"And you, Remus."
They all enjoyed a delectable breakfast, talking of work and the latest person killed by Voldermort. When Harry and Remus bid them good bye, Sara and Sirius spent the rest of the day together. They loved being together, and loved to talk to each other. Sirius had never met someone, besides his first wife, that he could connect with like he connected with Sara. But, it was Sunday and Sara had to work the next day. At about five she said good bye and Sirius was alone again, but he was not lonely. He felt Sara around him; he could smell her perfume, lilacs and lilies, in his clothes and hair. He knew he would se her again, and he was happy, for the first time in what seems like forever, he was happy.
"Harry?"
"I'm in here Nina." Came Harry from the kitchen
"What are you doing?"
"I am making a love potion, try it." He said holding up a spoon with green liquid on it
"It wouldn't work, I already love you." She said, "No really, what are you making? It smells like the forest......hmmm" she said, inhaling, "......I like it."
"It's an invisibility potion, it also makes it so you can't hear what ever it is put on, or who ever drinks it."
"For the Cup?"
"Yeah, but this is just a tester. Would you like to try it with me?"
"Sure...What did you get on you potions N.E.W.T.?
"I don't remember, what does it matter?"
"Just don't kill me, okay?"
"Just trust me." He said taking a sip
"Fine." She said as she took a sip, "Can you see me?" she asked
"Yes, but I'm supposed to be able to. Anything using the same potion can see and hear itself and anything within it's limits." He said, "I did well, huh?"
"Yeah you did. Can we go have some fun before it wares off?"
"Sure...What did you have in mind?"
"Well, I was thinking we could go visit Sirius..."
"Say no more, let's go!"
The apperated to his house, taking care not be loud about finding him. They found him in his parents' room, feeding Buckbeak.
"Okay, what should we do first?" asked Harry
"Hmm......wait here a second." She said
When she came back she had a picture of Sirius's father, "Want to give him a little scare?"
"Oh hell yeah."
So Harry picked up the picture and slowly, quietly walked around Sirius. Since neither himself nor Nina could be heard, she had some bottles and was banging them on the floor. Harry waved the picture and made it look like it was haunting Sirius. When he saw and heard this, he yelped as he ran out o his parents' room. Harry and Nina chased him down the stairs and cornered him in the hallway. Just as they were closing in on him, the potion wore off and they were visible again.
"What the-"Sirius stared, but he was drowned out by Harry's and Nina's laughing
"You should have see your face!" Harry gasped, "Priceless!!"
"Oh, real mature guys. Yeah, real nice." Said Sirius, trying to conserve his pride
"We got you good!!" Nina said, calming down a little
"Yeah, you got me, get off it. It was a child's prank."
"And you ran like a child!" said Harry, also calm now
"Okay, making fun of Sirius hour is officially over, thank you for coming."
"Welcome" Harry said
"Would you like something to drink?"
"Sure, thanks mate."
"Have you heard from Sara?" Harry asked as the walking down to the kitchen
"No," said Sirius, "but I'm going to supprise her at work tomorrow."
"Are you sure? It's only been two days."
"I love her too much not to see her."
"Who the hell are you talking about?" asked Nina
"Sara, Sirius's new girlfriend."
"Oh," Nina said, "So what kind of supprise are you planning?"
"Nothing special," Sirius started, "I'm going to pick her up with flowers, and take her to dinner."
"Good plan," Nina said, "I approve."
"Good to know."
"Sirius," said Harry, going through the cabinets, "do you have any firewisky I could put in my coffee?"
"No, sorry Harry. I finished the last of it the night you got attacked and I haven't found the need to get more."
'That's great' thought Harry, "Oh, alright" he said
"Umm, I have, okay, I have nothing. It's coffee or butterbeer."
"I'll take a butterbeer," said Nina
"Yeah, me too." Said Harry
"Three butterbeer's it is."
They sat at he table and talked for a while when and owl flew through the window, followed closely by another. One went to Harry the other to Nina.
"I'm sorry Sirius, "started Harry, "I have to go, something has happened."
"Yeah me too," said Nina, "Do you know what? My letter doesn't say."
"No, mine doesn't either, well, will find out soon." Harry said, "If it's anything important, I'll owl you." He told Sirius
"Alright, see you later guys."
Again, I'm sorry to took so long to update. But here it is. Keep on keepen on and review me!!
