There was a strange splintering sound, and four more beds identical to the one he was sitting on appeared in the room, as well as a comfortable matress with multiple blankets appeared on the floor next to the werewolf. Ron clapped with an open mouth.
"Well done, mate!" He cheered happily, crwaling up onto one of the beds. Moony let out an amazing howl, and gave him a look as if to say 'amazing, thanks', and Sirius said "Wow, I wish I could do that"
"That is a realy complicated spell to do even WITH a wand! Amazing!" Hermione stated. Harry thaked everyone.
"What kind of wand do you use, Sirius?" Harry asked tiredly, quite drained from the hard day and the extensive use of magic.
"Willow Wood Dragon Heart Sting, eleven in. why?" He asked. Harry just smled at him mistchifously. He consentrated hard before a wand apeared out of thin air, floating a good six feet off the floor, coming only to Sirius's chest, but on the other side of the room. Harry guided it with his pointer finger over to Sirius. "Consider it one Christmas present's worth in the twelve years of debt I owe you." Harry said laughing a little.
"You don't owe me anything, really. Thank you alot. You didn't have to!" Sirius said, standing and walking over to Hary and hugging him. "Least I could do. It's nothing compared to the Firebolt you got me, and I can't thank you enough for that. My old broom was smashed to splinters by he whomping willow, so it was perfect timming." Harry said gratefully. "I know, I saw. I've been watching you play. You fly as well, or maybe better, thn your father." Sirius said, sitting down on the bed he chose, which just happened to be next to Harry's. Harry smiled.
"Thanks... really." Harry said.
"do you want to come and live with me when my name get's cleared? I mean, I understand if you don't want to, I just hae to ask..." Sirius asked quickly.
"Really? You mean it? You wnat me to?" Harry asked.
"Ya, really really. Only if you want to." Sirius said.
"Of course he wants to! Number one, he loves ya already, number two, he'd rather be anywhere besides the awefull muggles he lives with now." said Ron, putting in his two cents. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"That was an EMOTIONAL MOMENT Ron! Geeze, you have no sense of timing, do you?!" She yelled at him, and they began to bicker, completely unaware of their surroundings.
"Are they always like that?" Sirius asked Harry. "Err, yeah pretty much." He replied. Moony sniffed and gave a look clearly stating that it was the understatement of the year. Harry crwaled up underneath his blanket and said loudly so it could be heared over Ron and Hemione's bickereing "Night guys." Various 'good nights could be heard all around the room, and one small bark aswell. All the noise had died down untill it was completely silent except for ron's snoring. Harry was on the edge of sleep and awakeness when he heared Sirius get up and walk around his bed overe to Harry's. He felt part of the bed lower under his weight as he craled into bed wih Harry. He put his arm over Harry and pulled him close to his own chest. Harry imediatly snuggled himslef as deep as he could get into Sirius's chest. Sirius did not mind at all, in fact, his heart warmed and glowed with pleasure. I doubt the pair ever were or will be as happy as they were for that moment. There was a second sound of girlish foot steps on the hard wood floor as Hermione got out of her bed and laid down with Ron, causing his snores to stop. Hermione faced him, and they pulled themselves into each other's arms. Hermione kissed the crick of Ron's neck and put her head against his shoulder, as they got as close as possible and snuggled together. Harry shook hs head slighlt, which rubbed against Sirius's chest, and he leaned forward and kissed the top of Harry's head once again. And there, all og the group fell asleep (or back to sleep). Harry woke up with Sirius's arm still oer top of him, and he same feeling of joy and safeness he had gone to sleep with the night before. He felt Sirius move slightly, and knew he must be awake and not wanting to move just like him. He began to wonder what time it was, and then, without warning, a voice came in inside his ead that sounded exactly like Sirius's. 'Bout three forty a.m.' making him jump slightly. 'right,' said the voice,' forgot to tell you I studied telepathy in school. Sorry if I scared you. haha.' He laughed. Harry rolled his eyes. :you should warn people bfore you do that, they may start to think they're going crazy, if voices all of a sudden appear in their heads that they can hold up conversations with...: Harry thought. 'ahh, you see, that's the fun part about telepathy, and one of the reasons why I took it.' Sirius thought to him. :do you know if Ron and Hermione are awake yet?: 'yes, they went downstairs trying not to wake us up... and went into a fit of embarassment when they saw their nude deffense teacher, and so threw a blanket on him.' Sirius mentaly said.
:How long do you reckon I can get away with pretending to be asleep?: Harry thought. sirius began to laugh. "Oh, about five and a half minutes, if your friends know you well enough." He said outloud. "Shhh. You'll blow my cover." Harry said sarcastically, before getting up and out of bed. "Speaking of blowing cover. Hmph.. Why on god's green earth did they have to make four a.m. so early?" Harry asked, not expecting a reply.
"Because it was either four a.m or six p.m. and what would be the point of sleeping in then?" Sirius asked, also getting up.He reached for his wand, but it began to float away about a foot out of his reach. He crossed his arms and said, "Oh, very funny. Show off why don't you?" He asked before quickly and stealthily grabbing Harry and picking him up carrying him over his shoulder.
"Oh, what's this? The amazing seeker with super-human reflexes caught by the weak prison escapee? What is the world coming to?" Sirius said mock amazed.
"Mr. Prong's Jr. would like to state that you seem to be underneath me, and I would apriciate it if you would get out of the air I am wanting to occupy with my feet on the ground." Said Harry in a buisness-like tone.
"Mr. Padfoot would like to say certainly, as soon as Mr. Prongs Jr. agrees to stop floating objects out of Mr. Padfoot's reach"
"Mr. Prongs Jr. would like to say that he can make no promises but agrees to give Mr. Padfoot back his wand if he gets out of the air that is keeping Mr. Prongs Jr. from the ground"
"Mr. Padfoot agrees to theese terms and would like to know where he found the Marauders map"
"Mr. Prongs Jr. has no comment to Mr. Padfoot's question." Sirius dropped him on the bed and Harry burst out laughing, aswell as Sirius and Lupin, who had been standing at the wall by where he slept watching them drapped in a blanket. Sirius and Harry stoped laughing, and Harry got this strange, far away look in his eyes, and a moment later the towel was replaced with handsome robes, and in each pocket was a large hunk of chocolate.
"Thank you, Harry." He said, before taking a bite of the chocolate.
"No problem. Want to go and join Ron and Hermoione? Then we can make our way up to the castle and speak to Dumbledore." Harry said, and lupin and sirius. They made their way down the steps just in time to see Ron and Hermione in a deep and passionate kiss. They did not seem to notice the group come down, so Harry waited a moment before clearing his throat loudly. They looked up at them, and Ron's face seemed to trurn the same color as his hair, while Hermione jumped and whiped of her mouth, looking quite embarassed.
"If you two could take a break from your lovely snogging session, we were just about to head up to the castle. Would you care to join us?" Harry asked. They just nodded embarassed. Harry carried the jar holding Scabbers and led the way with Sirius, followed Remus, then Ron and Hermione bringing up the end, hand in hand. Thank goodness for it being around four a.m. or else they might hav run into some students, or possibly a teacher. But, the walk went quite smoothly. Then they had to play the 'guess Dumbledores password' game, which is never a fun game to play if you're in such an imporatant situation as this, but they finally guessed it (mira's marshmellow flavored maggots) and stood on the staircase spiraling towards the office.There they found Dumbledore at his desk, smiling eyes twinkling, as though he were waiting for them all morning.
"You need say no thing, just give me the rat and you are cleared of all charges.' He said smiling. Silently, harry handed the old man the jar containing the vermin.
"Oh, and Sirius?" Dumbledore started (sirius looked up)."Try the prefects bathroom, please. If some poor student sees you, they'll be running for high heavens. I daresay I'll have enough company today with some poor students saying 'proffesor Dumbledore! Sirius Black is in the castle! He's got Harry!' More paper work than any old man should like." "Yes, sir." Sirius said before walking out the door. After they got out Sirius turned to Harry.
"Would you be so kind as to accompany me to the prefects bathroom so that you may insert some sense into who ever we may see so that they do not run away screaming?" Sirius asked.
"Certainly my good man." Harry said. But as soon as they walked out, Sirius bumped directly into Neville Longbottom.
"Sorr-" He began, before noticing who Sirius was and taking a frightened step back. "You! You...You... You're Sirius Black! You got Harry! You hurt him and I-I-I'll..." But apparantly he couldn't find a threat good enough for them.
"Woah kid, you've really got some dedicated friends!" Sirius whispered to Harry. "Don't worry, kid. I wouldn't hurt Harry to save my own life!" Sirius said. Neville looked at him suspeiciously, before walking backword, still watching Sirius, and then turning tail and running to tell everyone in Gryffindor tower the new news of Sirius Blakc, in the school, with Harry Potter, vowing to love him for ever. Sirius and Harry exchanged glances before continuing their walk.
"Well done, mate!" He cheered happily, crwaling up onto one of the beds. Moony let out an amazing howl, and gave him a look as if to say 'amazing, thanks', and Sirius said "Wow, I wish I could do that"
"That is a realy complicated spell to do even WITH a wand! Amazing!" Hermione stated. Harry thaked everyone.
