Chapter 2: The Interview continued
Before Harry realized it the doorbell was ringing. He gleefully bolted down the stairs to the front door of the Dursley home and flung it wide open.
There he stood. A clean-cut and shaven Sirius Black. Complete with new robes and a big toothy smile on his face.
"Hello there Harry!" Sirius said enthusiastically.
"Sirius! I'm so glad to see you! I've been bored out of my mind! I was thinking I was going crazy! I'm so happy you've come to see me!" Harry blurted.
"Did you get my letter then?"
"I sure did! I read it over and over just to make sure it was true!"
"Pack your things yet?"
"I was doing that just before you showed up! I'll go finish now! Be right back, Make yourself at home!" Harry said turning and practically hopping up the stairs.
Sirius walked in and glanced around.
"Dursley's not home eh?" he asked wandering into the kitchen.
"No, they left me here when they went to see Aunt Marge for a few weeks or so. They remember what I did to her my third year."
Sirius did too. He was in the middle of raiding the refrigerator, and when Harry mentioned his third year, Sirius nearly choked on the beer he was drinking.
Within a few minutes Harry came dashing down the stairs followed by his luggage. He'd cast a spell on them to make them float behind him. Sirius entered the hall with the beer in his hand and smiled at his godson.
"Well then, ready to go home?" He asked.
"Should you be driving after drinking that?"
Sirius laughed. "It tastes awful anyway."
He patted Harry on the shoulder and they walked out to the driveway, followed by the luggage and Hedwig. Harry's mouth dropped when he saw Sirius' car.
"Wow Sirius, how'd you manage to get this? You didn't sell the bike did you?"
"No I still have the bike. The car was an apology gift from the ministry for all my cruel and heart-wrenching years in Azkaban. Have a seat."
Harry gently opened the door to Sirius' convertible and sat in the passenger seat. "Can I get one of these too?"
Sirius laughed as he placed Harry's things in the trunk. "We'll see, son." He closed the trunk and slid into the driver's seat. Hedwig hooted from overhead.
"Riding with us or flying along?" Sirius asked her. She ruffled her feathers and flew off.
He laughed and started the engine. It roared like a lion. "Oh and Harry, I have another surprise for you back at the house."
"What is it this time? A dog?" Harry joked.
Sirius threw his head back and laughed. "No there's plenty enough dog in me to cover for that!" Harry smiled.
They drove along the windy roads to the familiar House of Black on Grimauld Place. Seeing this place brought back more memories. Meeting the Order of the Phoenix, seeing Ron get prefect, and having to deal with Mrs. Blacks screaming, and the stealing house elf Kreacher, and many other crazy things.
"So he still lived at the old Grimauld Place, eh?" I asked jotting this down in my notebook.
"Yeah but it's wasn't as bad as before." Harry continued.
Sirius parked the car and they got out. To Harry's surprise, the house wasn't dark and dreary as it had been; now it was bright and cheery. Harry followed Sirius in to the house, and they were followed by Harry's luggage.
"Well as you may have already noticed, it's happier around here. Kreacher is gone and so is that horrible picture of my mother. Your room is at the top of the stairs to the left. The bed is already made and it's clean, and there's plenty of room for all of your things. Do you need anything else?"
"No I'm fine thank you, you've done enough already!" Harry replied.
There was an awkward silence between them, but it was quickly stopped by a sudden clatter coming from the kitchen.
A young woman in a red robe hobbled out of the kitchen. She looked as though she'd seen a ghost. Her raven, black hair cascaded down her back and swung gracefully as she walked. Her blue eyes were alive like fire. Her chin was narrow, body thin, and her nose was small but fit her face. She seemed to be 25 or 30 in Harry's mind but he couldn't quite tell. All he knew was that she was absolutely stunning.
"Sorry about that Sirius didn't mean to make you jump. I dropped a few pots on the floor but nothing is broken thankfully." She said coming up on his right side and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Oh my! You must be Harry, you look so much older than I expected you to be!" she said smiling.
"Now now, Calli, I told you before that he had turned seventeen and would look older than the pictures I have." Sirius said rubbing the woman's hair roughly.
"Sirius…" Harry spoke, "I'm at a loss here, not to be rude or anythin' but who is this?"
Sirius moved his hand to the back of his head and rubbed it lightly. His cheeks quickly flushed.
"Well, Harry, she is the surprise. Harry this is my wife, Catalina Black."
Harry's eyes grew wide. He was stunned. Sirius was married? This was a surprise indeed. Calli smiled and held out her hand for Harry to shake. When Harry finally shook it she said. "You can call me Calli, if you like."
"So Is Sirius still married to this Catalina Black?" I wondered.
"Yes! They still act like a newly married couple on their honeymoon. It's almost revulting since they're getting older. But that's Sirius for you he's always been young at heart." Harry laughed.
"Where any of these the second happiest moment of you're life?"
"No, you'll know it when you hear it." Harry answered.
"Well it's getting late, Harry. Shall I see you tomorrow then?" I asked as I gathered up my things.
"Absolutely! I'd be glad to have your company again." Harry said kindly opening the door for me. "Have a good night!"
A/N: So is it getting worse? I'm rusty on writing, especially fan-fiction, since this is still my first one…Any comments? Questions? Concerns? Any thing you need to tell me about? No, I don't really need to know. Except what you think about my story, so, be kind hearted and comment back. Please and thank you!
