A/N: Thank you for your wonderful reviews this story has had. No, this is not the last chapter if anyone is wondering. But, I hope you enjoy that you've had two chapters in one day! Anyway, here is the seventh chapter:


Chapter Seven

"Harry? Come on kid, wake up," Sirius said softly, nudging Harry. Harry groaned and stirred.

"Siri?" Harry muttered, rubbing sleep from his eyes. "I'm tired—why'd you wake me up?"

Sirius grinned. "I think you should take a look in the mirror."

Harry groaned again. "Did Snape give me another potion to turn my hair the Slytherin colors again?" He gave a little gasp. "It's not my face, is it? Snape didn't make my skin color turn dark green and silver, did he?"

Sirius laughed. "Just go; take a look."

Harry pulled the blankets off of him and stood up. He looked at Sirius in amazement as his feet touched the ground. He stood up straighter. "I—I'm thirteen again, aren't I?" Sirius just grinned, and that was a good enough answer for Harry. Making his way over to the mirror, he looked at his reflection. True to his own words, he was thirteen again.

"I-I can't believe it! I'm thirteen again."

Sirius nodded. "You are. I noticed overnight that you were growing."

"I was sleeping the whole day?" Harry asked, shocked.

"It's the next day, kiddo," Sirius confirmed. "So what do you want to do to celebrate your seven-going-on-thirteen growth spurt?"

Harry grinned. "Dinner, of course!"

"Do you mean breakfast?"

Harry shook his head. "We can celebrate tonight. You can treat me to dinner."

"The treat's on me, is it?" Sirius repeated with a grin.

"Thanks for offering," Harry said as he sat back down on the bed, pulling the covers back over him. "Wake me after, will you? I'm still tired. I'm goin' back to sleep."

"Nuh-uh," Sirius replied, pulling the covers back. "You can't sleep in today, kiddo. You have classes."

Harry's eyes widened. "Classes? I have to go back to classes?"

"'Fraid so," Sirius replied, trying his best to look sorry. He failed completely. "You've had your little break for awhile now. Vacation's over, kid."

Harry rubbed his eyes again, yawning. "Er—do I have to?" Sirius nodded.

"Rise and shine, kiddo."

"G'Morning, Mr. Snapey," Harry greeted the Potions Master with a smirk. Snape scowled.

"Never call me that again, Mr. Potter. As you probably know, you are a child no longer and are still a student in my class. I do have the privilege of giving you a detention."

"Aye, aye, cap'n," Harry muttered, taking his seat in-between Hermione and Ron.

"Good to see you back to normal, mate," Ron greeted.

"Welcome back," Hermione said.

Harry grinned. "Thanks."

-

"Ugh," Harry moaned as he trudged back to his and Sirius's rooms. It was the end of the day, and he was utterly exhausted. The only thing keeping him awake was the thought of having dinner with Sirius that night.

"Rough day?" Sirius asked, looking up from where he sat (on the couch) as Harry came in. Harry couldn't help but wonder why Sirius looked so pale and shaky. His voice even wavered a bit as he spoke.

"More like exhausting day," Harry replied, plopping down beside Sirius.

"I-I have to tell you something," Sirius said, closing his eyes.

"What is it?" Harry asked, concern filling every ounce of him. "What's wrong? You look like someone died, Padfoot."

"Harry—" Harry paled until he was even paler than Sirius. His emerald eyes had a dull and lifeless look to them.

"Who died, Siri?"

"Harry—"

Harry clenched his teeth together, trying to fight chafing feeling that swept over him like a wave of water. "Who died, Sirius?"

"You won't like it," Sirius replied quietly, his eyes downcast. "Harry, it's—"

A/N: Sorry it's not a very long chapter, but I kind of wanted for you to be in wonder…well, thank you for the reviews!

I am working on the sequel to this, everyone. I have the title and everything done, since chapter eight (the next chapter) of Baby Blues will be the last, unfortunately. Chapter eight will be a terribly short one, I'm afraid to say. But, there will be a sequel which will be called, "Death Becomes Them."

Thank you for your wonderful reviews, and be sure to check for Death Becomes Them when Baby Blues has its last chapter.

halleem264: Awww...sorry :-P well, I hope you liked the chapter. Thanks for your reviews, keep 'em coming:-)

LittleCrazy1: Okay...1. Remus was at Hogwarts because he thought Sirius might need help after Harry's little 'accident.' 2. Remus could look after Harry while Sirius would teach, but really Sirius is Harry's guardian. He just wanted to...be there for Harry. I really don't know how to put it in words, sorry. 3. Er—no. I have sixteen month old little brother, and believe me, he is a very fast little walker! Very fast. And my mum doesn't always carry my brother around, he walks.
