On the Run

Chapter Four

The Meeting

Sirius knew Harry had not stopped worrying that weekend. But Harry had at least kept busy. Cameron had invited him to the beach yesterday, and Harry had agreed. They went to a local inlet. Harry and Cameron saw a Surfing competition. It wasn't for the age group Harry was in, otherwise he would have participated. They got free t-shirts and key chains from the competition though. Cameron and Harry had also caught a few crabs, while trying to catch fish. But what Harry really enjoyed the most was seeing the manatee's. It was his first time seeing manatee's. Harry had come home going on and on about the manatee's they'd seen. Mrs. Wood gave Sirius picture's she'd printed on her computer of Harry and Cameron's day.

Currenly they were waiting in the principals office, for the principal.

"You okay, Kiddo?" Sirius asked looking at Harry who was seated next to himself.

"Yeah."

Sirius reached over to lightly pinch him on the cheek, knowing it would bug Harry. But Harry dodged him and smiled a little.

"Don't you dare!" Harry warned. "That hurts."

"Only because you have a sun-burn." Sirius retorted.

"You're only doing it because I have a sun-burn!" Harry countered back.

Sirius grinned.

A voice stopped their playful banter. Sirius stood to greet the Principal.

"Hello Mr. Lee." Sirius said extending a hand.

"Good morning Mr. Brown." Principal Lee and Sirius both took their seats. "Good morning, Harry."

"Good morning, Principal Lee." Harry greeted a little reluctantly. He did not want to be there right now.

"What's this meeting about, Mr. Lee?" Sirius asked.

Mr. Lee sighed. "School district officials were looking through our student's records and found some oddities in your nephews records. I would like to get those cleared up."

Sirius and Harry both kept neutral expressions on their faces.

"I don't have any of the document's with me at the moment." Sirius tried to buy time.

"That's fine." The Principal waved off. "But it needs to be cleared up soon. I apologize, but your nephew will have to be on suspension until things are cleared up. It's regulations."

Sirius nodded. He'd expected this. "Okay. We'll try and get this straitened out as soon as possible.

"Okay." Principal Lee said smiling as he stood. "Thank you."

"Thank you." Sirius stood and shook his hand. Harry stood as well.

Leaving the office they trudged back to their car. Harry got into the passenger side sad put his book bag into the back.

The drive home was quiet. Sirius kept glancing at Harry. He knew Harry was upset.

Arriving home Sirius directed Harry to the living room and they sat on the couch.

"What have to move again." Harry said. It wasn't a question. It was a statement.

Sirius nodded. "Yes. I'm sorry, Kiddo."

Harry nodded. "How long will we have to do this Sirius?"

"I don't know Harry." Sirius sighed. "I wish you didn't have to go through this."

"It's okay." Harry sighed. "When are we leaving?"

"This week." Sirius said. The sooner they left, the less chance of being tracked.

Harry nodded. "I'll start packing."

"Don't worry about that today." Sirius said stopping Harry.

"Can I write a letter to Cameron?"

Sirius nodded. He knew Harry wanted to explain a little to Cameron. Sirius watched as Harry left the room. He was upset Harry had to go through this. He wished they could just stay where they were. Harry had been happy here. Sometimes Sirius just wanted to take Harry to the Wizarding world, to Dumbledore, and tell him to find a good permanent home. One where he was happy and safe. But NOT the Dursleys. Sirius was angry at Dumbledore for leaving Harry there to begin with. They were not suitable guardians. But Sirius knew that Harry wouldn't be happy that way either. Harry was too attached and loved Sirius too much to allow Sirius to do that.

Sirius sighed and stood up. He needed to start packing.

End of Chapter Four

A/N: Hi! Thank you for reading! I hope you liked the new chapter! Where will Harry and Sirius move next? What is in his letter to the Wood family? Please read and review!

On Harry's reaction:

Harry is very upset about moving again. He liked where they had been living. But he doesn't want Sirius to get caught. He doesn't want to be separated from Sirius. Sirius is his family. I hope this explains his reaction a little better.
