Disclaimer- Harry and co are not from my imagination, they come from the great mind that is J.K Rowling. If you see any characters and don't recognise them from HP, they belong to me. I also don't own any shops, or shop chains, such as The Disney Store.

Chapter Seven- Flying

It was hard to conceal something from Sirius Black, Harry and Draco discovered that on the morning of their trip. They had been giving each other their good morning kiss, when Sirius burst into the room.

"I knew it! Remus owes me!" Seeing the two confused faces, he continued. "Oh, we had a bet on when you two would get together. I said it would be before your birthday, Remus said after you went back to school. Anyway, the taxi will be here in a few minutes, so you should get your suitcases downstairs."

Draco turned to his new boyfriend, and kissed him again. "I guess we'd better go downstairs, love. Do you need help with your case?"

"Only if you'll shrink it for me, I can't do that yet." Draco obliged, and did the same to his own case.

Harry and Draco then carried their cases downstairs. Once downstairs, the pair added their luggage to Sirius' case, and then Draco made them normal size again.

Sirius was sitting in the kitchen, thinking things over. He was so pleased Harry was happy, finally, although it would take a while to get over the death of his best friend. And Draco seemed a lot happier as well, something in that boy's life must have been horrible; his eyes had always held a haunted quality.

Harry came in, and informed him the taxi was there, before giving him a hug, and whispering "Thank you." Sirius wanted to ask what for, but he was cut off before he asked. "For everything. For giving us a home, for being there for me when I wanted to talk, for the trip, and also for being so understanding about me and Draco.

Sirius smiled at his godson, before racing him to the front door. Harry was slowly discovering that his godfather was very much like a child sometimes.

The taxi ride was uneventful. The driver was fairly talkative, asking many questions. Harry was surprised when Sirius claimed he was Harry and Draco's uncle, and that they were cousins. Sirius had told Harry he was unlikely to be recognised in America, although Harry was dubious about this. Harry nudged Draco, who had been unusually quiet throughout the journey, and asked him if he was ok. Draco lied and said he was fine. The truth was, Draco was nervous. He'd never travelled by plane before, it was a little unnerving.

It was a very short ride to the airport, and after checking their bags in, they went through to the shops. Draco was fine here, he loved to shop. He decided he liked the airport so far; there were so many muggle shops! He especially liked one called 'The Disney Store'. There were so many cute characters! Harry couldn't believe he had never encountered a Disney film before. And Draco had no idea what McDonalds was either. Harry knew what it was, although he'd never been allowed one, the Dursley's preferred to leave him in the car while he was forced to watch them eat. Sirius, in typical Sirius fashion, had to let them experience McDonalds, and dragged them straight there.

After enjoying McDonalds, and shopping some more, it was time to go to the departure lounge. Draco became slightly more nervous when he saw the plane they were travelling on, it was so big.

"Harry?" Draco said, pulling on Harry's sleeve just as a child would. "How does that thing go up in the air? It's so big."

"Well, I don't exactly know, but it's really safe, I promise. I reckon you're going to love it." Harry had never travelled in the air either, but he'd learned about aeroplane trips from classmates when he was younger, so he had some idea of what they were like.

Draco still looked nervous, but he nodded in understanding. They sat down in the departure lounge, and waited for their seat numbers to be called. Harry started tapping his feet in impatience, slightly annoying Draco. Sirius didn't notice, he was reading a guidebook.

"If you don't stop that," Draco warned Harry, "I might have to do something to stop you."

Harry raised a curious eyebrow. "And what might that be?"

Draco smirked. "Use your imagination."

Before Harry had a chance to think about what Draco would do, and what he'd like Draco to do, an announcement came over the tannoy.

"Good afternoon passengers on flight VS5, flying to New York JFK airport with us this afternoon. At this moment we would like to invite only passengers who are sitting in rows 55 to 65 to please make your way to the boarding desk. Thank you and enjoy your flight with Virgin Atlantic."

Sirius nudged Harry. "That's us, come on." Considering his godfather's usual nature, Harry was surprised not to see him leaping around like a mad thing. Harry in turn nudged Draco. They all grabbed backpacks, and made their way to the desk. Within 10 minutes, they were sat on the plane, with Sirius by the window, complaining about the lack of legroom, and Harry and Draco eagerly searching in their free bags for cool stuff.

Draco was slowly pulling everything out, putting it all on the table in front of him. "Toothbrush, toothpaste, socks, weird things, paper, earplugs and.... Harry, what's this?"

Harry looked at the object that had been thrust beneath his nose, and grinned. "It's a biro, Dray. And those other 'weird things' are headphones."

Draco's face was a picture of confusion as he looked at the headphones, turning them over and over, whilst he did the same thing with the pen. Harry watched him, before he decided to help him.

"Draco, press the end of the biro until it clicks." Draco did. "Now use it like you would a quill."

"But there's no ink." Draco was perplexed.

"The ink's in there already. Give it a try."

Draco pressed onto the paper, slowly writing. He was slightly awed. The things Muggles came up with!

They heard the captain speaking, and watched a safety video. Draco worried even more. But before he knew it, the plane was up in the air.

The flight was rather boring to all of them. After the initial fun wore of, it was rather a dull feeling. Harry and Draco were watching films, and Sirius was reading a book. It seemed to take forever before they were told that the plane was coming into land.

This was when Harry, Draco and Sirius started to get excited. They were in New York City! Well, almost anyway. They did have to catch the subway from the airport to where they were staying.

They felt the wheels of the plane touch down. Then they heard the captain again.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to New York."
