No Longer Running

Chapter Eight

Phone Calls

"So, Remus," Sirius said as he watched Remus move around the kitchen cooking their dinner. "How goes the job hunting?"

Remus sighed. "I think I may get that job with the Muggle book store. They said they'll call. I hope it's okay, but I gave them your number, I haven't got a Muggle phone."

"Yeah, that's fine!" Sirius said smiling. "I hope you do get the job. Book's and you always mix."

Remus snorted. "While it would be easier to pull your teeth then get you to read a book."

"Hey! I resent that!" Sirius said narrowing his eyes. "I do read."

"Really?" Remus asked turning around from the stove to face him. "What's the last book you read in its entirety?"

Sirius thought. "Umm-uh." Sirius mumbled out.

"That's what I thought." Remus said smugly as he turned back to the stove.

Sirius was about to retort, but the phone interrupted. "I'll be right back." He said sighing.

"Hello?" Sirius said to whom ever was on the other end.

"Hello, Sirius?" A boy's voice asked. It took a moment for Sirius to place the voice, he definitely recognized the voice. Cameron! That's who it was!

"Cameron?" He asked to be sure.

"Yeah, umm." Cameron seemed very unsure of himself. "Is Harry there?"

"No, Cameron, he's not. He's off at school." Sirius informed the blonde boy.

"When will he be home?" Cameron asked cautiously.

"Christmas break." Sirius said. "It's a boarding school; same one his parent's went to."

"Oh." Cameron said sounding even more uncomfortable.

"What is it your wanting, Cameron?" Sirius asked.

"I wanted to apologize to him." Cameron said before a pause. "For the way I acted when you two came to our house. My parent's explained things to me."

Sirius sighed. 'What to do? What to do?' He asked himself. "Tell you what," He finally said. "Let me talk to your parent's, are they home?"

"Yes," Cameron answered. "I'll get them."

"Thank you." Sirius said smiling even though Cameron couldn't see him. He heard a muffled 'MOM! DAD! Sirius wants to speak to you!'

"Hello, Sirius?" Linda's voice said. "The phones on speaker so John can hear you too."

"Hello, Sirius." John's voice called.

"Hello, Linda, John. How are you?" Sirius asked.

"We're doing well." John's voice said.

"That's good to hear." Sirius said. "So are Harry and I. Harry, however, is off at school and won't be back till Christmas break, I was thinking we could…"

Sirius talked with both Linda and John for ten minutes before finally hanging up. He was grinning when he entered the kitchen.

"What are you so happy about?" Remus asked setting a plate down in front of both himself and Sirius.

"Harry's friend, Cameron, from America just called." Sirius said taking a bite of his food. "Cameron wanted to apologize to Harry."

"That's great!" Remus said smiling. Sirius had told him about Cameron earlier in the summer.
