Authors note:- Because I've been so slack with not updating, I've decided to update two in one go.. Hopefully I'll be able to update more often….

James and Sirius continued to walk up the stairs. James pointed at the room which Sirius had slept in the night before, "That's going to be your room for the rest of the summer" James said cheerfully, "And its right across the corridor from mine"

"I still can't believe your parents are doing this" Sirius said quietly, "They really don't have to"

James sighed as he looked at his friend, he'd never seen Sirius look so depressed, and that included the times that his pranks had failed on Severous Snape. "Sirius; you are now officially an adopted part of the Potter family"

"But that's exactly what I mean, why would you want to adopt someone who's family is planning on killing you!" Sirius said angrily.

James looked seriously at his friend, "I thought we weren't going to mention that again; but to answer your question, my family believe that there is more to a wizard than the family they come from"

"So why do you hate Severous Snape so much?" Sirius asked quietly. James was taken aback by the question. It was something that he'd never really thought about, he'd simply hated Severous for so much of his life, that he'd started to forget why he did so in the first place.

"Because he's a slimy git" James said cheerfully, not wanting to go into the real reason with his friend. "Now let's find you some clothes to wear"

James walked over to his cupboard and pulled out a spare pair of pajama's for Sirius. The bottom part of the pajama's had love hearts all over them, while the shirt was just a plain black t-shirt. James passed them to Sirius, who started to laugh straight away.

"What?" a confused James asked.

Sirius was unable to reply, as he was too busy laughing. Instead he just held up the short's with the love hearts all over them.

"What's wrong with them?" James asked seriously.

Sirius managed to gather himself up enough to be able to speak. "Nothing mate,"

"Sirius, there's obviously something you thought as funny"

"I just never saw you as the sort to have hearts on your PJ's"

James took a closer look at the shorts that Sirius was holding, blushed slightly and quickly snapped them back. "My Mum bought them" he said, "I never wear them" James stuffed them back in the draw them had come from, and pulled out another pair of shorts. "Here, where these then"

Sirius took a quick look at the shorts. Seeing that they were simply a set with wizards flying around on broomsticks, he was satisfied and didn't say a word.

"Mum and Dad said that they would send away from more clothes for you by Owl, so I needn't find you too many sets of clothes" James said closing the draw. He opened another and pulled out 2 pairs of jeans, and 2 shirts. Then he stepped over to the hanging part of the cupboard and pulled out a set of robes. "Here you go, that should do you for a while"

"Thanks Prongs" Sirius replied. He had been humbled by the reception he'd received by the Potter's, and had suddenly found himself unable to speak.

"Are you alright mate?" James asked.

"Yeah"

"You want to write a letter to Remus and Peter and tell them you're here?"

"Maybe later"

"Do you want to have a rest?" James asked, eyeing Sirius suspiciously, his friend had been through a lot over the previous night and had had to relive it that morning. James figured that Sirius was probably just tired.

"I guess that might help"

All of a sudden, James remembered how much of a hygiene nut Sirius was. He was the sort to take 2 or 3 showers a day. "Do you want to take a shower or anything like that first?"

Sirius' eyes lit up slightly, he'd been feeling dirty, after not having had a shower for more than a day, and he'd gotten quite a sweat up the night before. "That'd be great"

"If you go out of this room, go right down the corridor, the room at the end of the corridor is the bathroom, take a set of these clothes, and everything else you could possibly need is in there"

"Thanks Prongs, that's just what I need" Sirius smiled warmly.

James watched his friend walk out of the room. He sat back down on his bed, and sighed. There had been so much for him to think about that morning. He felt bad about what Sirius had been through, but at the same time was quite pleased that he was now to be living at the Potter's. It was a much better situation for Sirius to live in, and James realised that at least at the Potter's, Sirius wasn't going to be in the half the amount of danger he would have been at the House of Black. That was unless he walked in on Harrietta in the shower. James laughed to himself, his aunt always was quick to anger when he shower's were interrupted.

James quickly got up from his bed and ran towards the corridor, "Knock before you enter!" he yelled out to Sirius. But it was too late. Sirius had already opened the door. The door started screaming, and panels of the door started to bang Sirius over the head. "Let go of the handle!" James yelled half laughing. Sirius couldn't hear him, and just continued to try to open the door. It was obvious that Sirius was starting to anger, and his right hand had started to rummage around his pockets for his wand.

James ran up to the end of the corridor, and managed to get Sirius to let go of the door handle just as Sirius was about to hex the door.

Sirius just stood looking at the door angrily, and James had ended up on the floor from pulling Sirius back. James started to roll around on the floor laughing, mostly at what had happened, but partly because of the look on Sirius' face.

Sirius turned around behind him, and started to look angrily at James.

In between laughs James managed to get out a "Sorry mate"

"This isn't the bathroom is it?" Sirius asked, calming down slightly, and simply eyeing his friend suspiciously.

"It is" James managed to say.

"Then why did it do that?"

"Aunt… Harri… hates… people… not… knocking…"

"So she's hexed the door to do that?" Sirius asked slightly bemused.

"Its some sort of charm I think" James replied finally stopping laughing, "I'd forgotten all about it, and I just always knock"

Sirius chuckled lightly, knocked on the door, and it opened automatically. "I'll try to remember that"
