"Took ya long enough", came the familiar voice of Sirius
"Sirius! Trying to scare me out of my wits already? How are you?",asked Harry quite excitedly
"Well, considering that I'm supposed to be in Azkaban right now"
"True. . . very true. Thanks for letting me stay with you, Sirius."
"Ah, nothing much. Besides it gets bloody lonely up here in Beckley all by one's self. Misery likes company, ya know?"
"So. . . where exactly do we stay until next term starts?"
"Thought you'd want to know. It's not very far from here.."replied Sirius flatly.
However not far for Sirius is bloody far in Harry's mind. For some length of time neither spoke. While creeping through brush and climbing the steep slopes Harry realized that for once, he is welcome. At long last Sirius and Harry reached a very small and familiar area in a hillside. In fact, This is where Sirius stayed during the Tri Wizard Tournament last year when Harry's name had been put into the goblet of fire and drawn into the competition.
"Not much, but it's all I have right now", said Sirius quietly leading Harry to an area to leave his belongings.
"Anything beats living with the Durseys.", replied Harry, hoping to lift Sirius' spirits a bit.
"I hope so Harry, I truly do", replied Sirius
