Night 15: Padfoot and Silver

Harry sat on the bed closest to the room that Madam Pomfrey had put Remus in. He looked up and watched as Edge paced back and forth for a few minutes before looking back down at the floor. Dante was sitting on another bed talking quietly with Hadrian. Harry heard bits of their conversation but didn't pay that much attention.

It has been about two hours since Remus got to the Infirmary and Harry was starting to worry about his godfather. Sirius was sitting against the wall beside the door to Remus's room with his knees brought up to his chest. The man was starring at nothing it seemed and didn't even move when Silver nuzzled and licked his face.

Harry got up, walked over to Sirius, and knelt down in front of him. Sirius blinked, looked at Silver, and then at Harry questionably.

"Sirius, why don't you go get some sleep?" Harry tried calmly.

The animagus shook his head. "I don't want to leave him."

"Please Sirius. I know you don't, and this is probably a lot to ask right now, but you look like shit. Sorry." He added at his godfather's stern look.

Sirius sighed and stood on shaky legs. "I guess I'll take a walk and clear my head but I just don't think that I'll be able to sleep right now though."

Harry nodded and looked down at Silver as he pulled on his pants leg. "What?"

I'll watch over him for you Harry, if you don't mind?

Harry nodded again at the wolf and watched as the two walked out of the Infirmary. He jumped when Edge put his arms around his waist.

"I'm still mad at you, you know that don't you?"

"I know." Edge said simply with a slight nod but didn't move away, and neither did Harry.

Dante and Hadrian watched the two before looking at each other, sighing, hanging, and shaking their heads.

Sirius walked slowly around the grounds and since it was still early morning he didn't have to worry about anyone seeing him. Silver walked quietly beside the man looking at the ground but occasionally looking up at Sirius.

Okay. Silver thought looking back down at the ground. This moping has got to stop. Think Silver, think.

Sirius looked at the wolf as it ran in front of him. Silver perked his ears, walked over, and slightly pulled on Sirius's robe before jumping off and looking back at the animagus.

"What is it Silver?"

Silver used his head to signal Sirius to follow him and trotted off. Sirius tilted his head before following the white wolf. He stopped when Silver did and found himself at the Quidditch broom storage. The white wolf walked in and when he came back out he was dragging one of the brooms behind him.

Sirius knelt down beside Silver. "Sorry. The students should be waking now." He said patting the wolf on the head before levitating the broom back. "But it's the thought that counts."

Silver watched Sirius walk off with a glare. He snorted and trotted after him. Okay, that idea didn't work. Silver looked at the man. What would make him smile? Hell, even his eyes lighting up would work for me.

The two walked on the edge of the forest, out of sight of students, without a noise from either. Silver looked over as Sirius transformed and followed the dog across the grounds. Still nothing was said and the two ignored the students that called to them. Padfoot walked over to a tree by the lake and laid down. He looked over at Silver as the white wolf laid beside him.

Why are you following me Silver? He asked curiously.

The wolf shrugged. I just am, anyway, I promised Harry I'd watch over you.

That's kind. Padfoot said looking at the water. If you don't mind me asking, do you have a human form?

Yes, I do, but I can't show you or tell you.

Padfoot watched the wolf for a few minutes before laying his head down. Harry trusts you, so, I guess I'll trust you as well.

He shouldn't trust me. Silver said sadly. We're enemy's as humans. Well not enemy's per say but we don't really get along to well.

You don't? Padfoot asked turning his gaze to Silver. Then why are you so friendly in this from?

Because nobody knows about this form. It's safer to act this way in this form than in human.

The two looked up at two students who called out Padfoot's name. Silver watched as Padfoot groaned and buried his head under his paws.

Go away. Don't come over here. The dog groaned.

Silver stood, walked around the black dog, and stood stiffly in front of him. Without making a sound he bared his teeth at the two. They stopped and looked at the wolf curiously. Slowly Silver shook his head and the two looked behind him at Padfoot before turning and running back to their friends. Silver looked back at Padfoot, who gave a grateful doggy smile, before lying down a little closer to the dog.

Thanks. Padfoot whispered moving his head to lay back on his paws.

Silver nodded. Probably the Slytherin in me. He muttered under his breath.

Padfoot perked his ears and raised his head to look at the wolf. Slytherin?

Silver snapped his head over at Padfoot. I didn't say Slytherin. I said…um…I said… He tried hurriedly.

Padfoot chuckled as the young wolf stuttered trying to figure out what he supposedly said. It's all right you know. Any Slytherin that stutters is all right with me.

If they stutter? Silver asked tilting his head.

Act human like the rest of us.

Silver growled softly. We are human, we just…

Don't act it. Padfoot said with a smirk.

Silver hung his head. I guess. Nobody really cares about us Slytherins. Tell me something. Silver looked over at Padfoot. How many Slytherins do you know that wants to be friends with Gryffindors?

Padfoot looked out over the lake. Two now.

Do you think I could be friends with Harry?

Why are you asking me? Padfoot asked looking back at the young wolf.

You're his godfather, aren't you? Or did I get my information wrong?

Yes, I'm his godfather,but I'm not going to tell someone that they can be friends with Harry then him say no. It's Harry's choice, not mine.

Silver looked away. Harry must be happy to have someone like you.

What makes you say that? Padfoot asked tilting his head in thought.

My old man tells me whom I can be friends with and who I can't. If I don't obey him he'll disown me and I'll have nowhere to go. Silver explained hanging his head like he was ashamed.

I see. Would you like help Draco? Padfoot asked looking at the wolf expectantly.

The wolf slowly nodded his head. That would be nice but… He looked at Padfoot with wide eyes. How…

I'm not as stupid as I look; I've spent too much time with… Remus for that. You were the only Slytherin out of classes for a while. He layed his head on his paws. Plus you described your "old man" perfectly.

Now how do you know that? Can you read minds or something Black? Silver asked with a glare.

Padfoot let out a laugh that sounded more like a series of short barks. Merlin no. The git married my cousin and treated her the same way.

Wait, mum's your cousin? Now poor Silver was down right confused. Why had he never known this before? That's right, his father doesn't really like the Blacks as much as he lets on.

Sure is, which means we are related by marriage. Even though I hate being related to that lousy git. Padfoot added with a growl remembering what the man had done to his Moony.

So I do have family on the light side. He looked over at Padfoot who had his eyes closed, his ears twitching as the wind blew. Will you help?

Padfoot opened one eye, smiled, and moved to lift a paw. If that's what you want. Come on.

Silver perked his ears before snuggling with the dog and both allowed sleep to take them over for the first time in 24 hours.

Now before I hear how Draco was out of character, this is how I have always thought Draco acted deep down, but since he was a Malfoy and he always had his dad to worry about, he never let it show. He accepted Sirius so quickly because, well, there was really no point acting at that point and he had someone he could go to that wouldn't tell his father everything that he told them, besides Severus of course, plus Sirius is a connection to Harry. Make Sirius happy, Harry will happy.

Sirius was so easy to accept Draco because Draco had helped out the night before so, with that in mind, he figured he couldn't be all bad.

If you have any questions that I didn't answer just leave a review. It's that little button down in the corner.

P.S- Yes I know it's kinda short.
