See How They Fly

I am he as you are he as you are me
and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake
Waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you've been a naughty boy
you let your face grow long
I am the eggman
they are the eggmen
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob
Sirius stirred and opened his eyes. Sunlight was pouring in through the open curtains. He groaned and got out of bed, his back cracking in the process.
"I'm getting old" he mumbled to himself.
He staggered over to the coffee pot full of yesterday's coffee and grimaced as when he saw the skin floating on the dark brown liquid.
"That's just gross" he mumbled
Suddenly Sirius notice a letter laying on the window pane. An owl must have left it there. He grabbed the parchment and unfolded it, smiling at what it contained.
Dear Sirius,
I have to go to a party with my old school friends, you remember Arrius Gorgin don't you, and James has some important Auror duties to attend to and we need you to baby-sit Harry. Maybe it will help you get used to being his godfather and anyway, Harry wont let anyone baby-sit him but you. Please get here at around ten.
Lily Evans Potter
"Yes, a whole day with Harry"
Sirius ran into the bathroom, washed up, shaved and put on some clothes. He quickly ran a brush through his hair and ran out the door. The neighbours were out so he had to drive his motorbike on the ground until he got into the wizarding community.
As soon as he arrived at the Potters he ran in without knocking and ran straight into their kitchen. He opened the fridge and pulled out a piece of chicken. He was just about done when James came in and smirked at him.
"So, taking over our house?" asked James
"You can't have enough food you know" Sirius said with his mouth full, spitting out little bits of chicken.
James backed up to get away from Sirius' spittle. He walked over to the cupboard and pulled out a jar of baby food and a bottle of milk.
"Okay Sirius, you have to feed Harry at twelve. Give him the whole jar of baby food, and please, don't use the soup spoon like last time. And if he wants milk, warm up his bottle till the milk is lukewarm" James said.
"What time again?"
"Twelve! Sirius please don't screw up, Harry gets pissed off if he doesn't eat, he's like you!"
"Okay, okay, I wont screw up. I promise."
Sirius went back to his chicken as James left the room. Once he was done, he went into the next room and sat down on the couch where Harry was sleeping. He smiled gently and stroked the child's hair as he slept.
Right after Lily and James left, he transformed into Padfoot and licked the child's face until he woke up. Suddenly the child began to stir. He slowly opened his eyes and a huge smile appeared on his face at the sight of the big black dog. Sirius changed back into himself and held Harry in his arms, he loved his warmth. The child grabbed at Sirius' hair and laughed as Sirius made silly faces.
Sirius loved Harry; he meant the world to him. Ever since the day he was born he was in love with the child. This one boy had consumed him and everybody else. He had not tried, he had just done it. Even Remus knew it.
"Can you say Sirius, Harry?" asked Sirius.
"Seewee!"
Sirius laughed and ruffled the child's unruly mop causing it to become even messier then before.
"Very good!"
They spent the next hour playing and game that they had invented. Sirius would transform into Padfoot and Harry would ride on his back until he would fall over.
The sound of the doorbell ringing interrupted their game. Sirius placed Harry on the couch, handed him a ball and went answer the door. He opened the door. Standing outside was Remus and his son Romulus who was a couple of months older that Harry.
Sirius looked t Remus and noticed that his eyes were red from crying. There were still tears rolling down his cheeks. Sirius picked up Romulus, placed him next to Harry and went back to his friend.
"Moony, what's wrong?"
"Adene left me this morning"
"What? Why?"
"Yesterday night was Romulus' first werewolf transformation and she found out about me. Then this morning she packed her bags and left."
"She left you because you're a werewolf?"
"Yes! She said that she didn't want to live with a bunch of werewolves. I told her that I would never hurt her but she didn't believe me!"
Sirius placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry mate, she doesn't know better. And if she can't live with it she's not worth crying for, believe me."
Remus nodded "I guess"
"Good! Now we left to babies unsupervised on the couch where they can easily fall from and crack their heads open"
They both rushed over to where the two babies sat. Harry and Romulus were rolling Harry's ball back and forth between their legs while laughing and clapping their hands. Remus and Sirius smiled as they watched the two boys play.
"They're going to be such great friends when they grow up and go to Hogwarts together" said Sirius.
"Tell me about it" said Remus
"Yeah, I could just see Harry fixing Romulus up with one of his many girlfriends"
Remus snorted.
After a while Romulus fell asleep and Harry began to get fussy.
"What time is it?" asked Sirius
"Twelve fifteen"
"Shit, I have to feed Harry"
"I'll help you"
Sirius covered Romulus with a blanket and brought Harry into the kitchen with Remus tagging behind. He placed Harry into a high chair while Remus took a seat at the table.
"Are you hungry Harry?" Sirius asked
Harry responded with indecipherable baby talk.
"I'll take that as a yes"
Sirius opened the jar of strawberry flavoured baby food that James had left him. He had spooned a couple of mouthfuls into Harry's mouth when Harry took the spoon from Sirius. He loaded the spoon with food and held it a few inches from Sirius' mouth.
"Harry, what do you think you're …Oomph!"
Harry had shoved the spoonful of baby food into Sirius' mouth. Harry giggled happily at his god father.
"You know this stuff is pretty good"
Sirius took the spoon away from Harry and stated eating more of the baby food. Remus ran over to them and took the spoon away from Sirius. He went closer to Harry.
"Moo'y!" cheered Harry.
Remus began to feed Harry. Once the jar was empty they brought Harry back to the couch where Romulus was sleeping. Harry eventually fell asleep and Sirius and Remus started a game of wizard's chess.
Everything was good.
