Corresponds with Uawe when they are reading the third book. Warning there is spanking in this scene

Harry watched as his godfather declined the plate Mrs. Weasley offered and headed for the stairs. He knew Sirius was more upset about the reading than he was letting in. He wished he could do something, anything to get his godfather's mind off of it and cheer him up.

Harry felt like he was failing at the promise he had made. He knew if the roles had been reversed Sirius would have some big prank planned to get him smiling. But without being able to do magic he didn't know what he could do.

A plan popped into his head as he spotted the twins sitting at the table. He cautiously slipped out the door and made his way to their room. Not wanting to get caught he grabbed the first thing he saw before hurrying to his godfather's room.

"Hey are you okay?" Harry asked poking his head into the room.

Sirius turned away from the window to smile at him. "I'm fine Harry. I just needed some time away from people like Dumbledore and Snape."

Harry nodded in agreement as he flopped onto the bed. "I can understand that. You didn't eat though."

Sirius raised an eyebrow as he crossed to lean against the foot of the bed. "Considering that you're up here with me you didn't eat either. I thought we agreed that you would stop skipping meals."

"No. I thought we agreed that I would if you did." Harry grinned at him cheekily. "It's not all bad though. I did bring candy." He held up a handful of brightly colored sweets.

Sirius snorted as he grabbed one of the candies. "Sugar is probably the last thing you need."

Harry watched eagerly as his godfather chewed, chuckling at the odd expression the man was now sporting. Grabbing the pink one for himself he was shocked when the man's iron grip prevented him from popping it into his mouth.

"Where did you get them?" Sirius demanded in a hoarse voice. His eyes were screwed tight and his free hand was gripping the footboard tightly.

"The twins room," Harry answered jumping up in alarm. The remaining candies dropped to the floor with a loud clatter. "What's wrong? Are you alright?"

Sirius groaned, bending over to lay his forehead forehead on the bed. "What do they do?"

Eyes wide with alarm Harry hovered anxiously over the other man. "I don't know." He admitted. "I thought they would change us into different animals or something. Are you okay? Should I go get someone?"

Sirius shook his head, the action causing him to groan again. "Just go sit down," he muttered waving in the direction of the corner chair.

Harry perched worriedly on the edge of the chair as his godfather climbed the rest of the way onto the bed. The next five minutes were spent in a tense silence. Finally Harry couldn't take it anymore.

"I should go get the twins. Maybe they could fix this."

Sirius lifted his head to glare at him. "You will not move your bum from that chair. I want easy access to it once I'm able to get up."

"But…."

"I'm okay,". Sirius relented enough to say. "Just give me a few more minutes." Another five minutes went by before he was able to sit up and run a hand down his face.

"What did it do to you?" Harry asked tentatively.

"I should give you one and let you find out for yourself but I'm not as foolish as you. It made me feel like I was on one of those carnival rides Lily took us to only the spinning was a lot faster." He eyed his godson sternly. "Come here." He instructed pointing to the floor in front of him.

Harry kept his eyes glued to the floor as he shuffled over, only raising them when the man demanded he do so.

Sirius was sitting on the edge of the bed. "What were you thinking?" He demanded. He was desperately trying to think what he had done that would make Harry want to hurt him.

The teen shrugged helplessly. "I just wanted to make you laugh." He mumbled. "You know like you did for me with the last two books."

Sirius sighed as most of his shock and anger bled away. "And I appreciate that but…"

"I was stupid." Harry finished miserably.

"You were." Sirius agreed. "You were playing with magic you were unfamiliar with. Do you know how dangerous that is? You had no idea if either one of us would be harmed. What would we have done if the effects required magic to reverse? We can't use magic at the moment." He snapped out the last bit watching the teen's face pale as the ramifications sunk in. "I'm just surprised the twins gave them to you without warning you."

Harry cringed. "They didn't exactly get the chance to." He mumbled.

Sirius dropped his head into his hands. "Please tell me you didn't steal them. I thought I made it clear how I felt about that."

"Umm well not really." The teen hedged causing his godfather to look back up at him with narrowed eyes.

"So you told the twins you were taking them." He prodded his eyebrows arched.

"Well no but…."

"Do you want to add lying to your list of transgressions?" Sirius asked his tone becoming stern once more.

"I'm not lying." Harry said petulantly. "The candies are sort of partly mine so I didn't think it would be a problem."

"Sort of partly yours?" Sirius asked skeptically. "Did you help create them?"

"No but I paid for the creation." Harry mumbled. He hurriedly explained about his tri wizard winnings.

Sirius was silent for a moment. "You still should have asked. Who knows if these were even a finished product."

The teen nodded. "I should have asked them for one of their skiving snack boxes. I pretty much know what they do."

"Pretty much?" Sirius asked in exasperation. "I had almost decided not to smack you for the danger you put both of us in but that statement right there tells me you haven't learned anything from this experience."

Harry's eyes opened wide and he took an involuntary step back. "I have I promise. That just didn't come out right." He explained hurriedly.

Sirius frowned at him. "I'm sorry Harry but I honestly think this is a lesson that needs a bit of reinforcement."

The teen's thin shoulders slumped. "Yeah I can understand that. I was so stupid. I wanted to help you but I just ended up making it worse." He looked up his eyes earnest. "Nothing could be worse than watching you go through that. I don't think I've ever been so scared."

Sirius leaned forward to tap him on the forehead. "That's what I feel every time you put yourself in danger." He sighed and motioned for his godson to get into position. "I really didn't think I'd be smacking your bum so soon after the first time."

The words caused Harry to duck his head as he undid his jeans and pushed them down. "Me neither," he mumbled as he flung himself over the man's knee.

After reminding the kid why he was in his current position Sirius hesitated for just a moment before pulling down the kid's boxers and exposing the pale globes. He administered ten rapid fire smacks to each cheek before pulling the underwear back up. He grimaced to himself knowing the kid probably deserved a lot more but he wasn't interest in turning either of them into blubbering messes. As it was Harry's face was flushed to match the red of his bottom and his breathing a bit rapid.

Sirius placed a hand on his back to keep him in position for a moment longer. "I'm warning you now that if you find yourself in this position," he tapped the bottom over his knee causing the teen to jump, "Again this week I will not be happy and neither will your bum." He landed one more smack before helping the kid to his feet.

Harry's hands immediately flew back to rub out the sting. "I'll behave." He said fervently.

Sirius snorted as he drew the kid into a hug. "Don't make promises you can't keep."

"I am sorry." Harry mumbled into the man's neck. "You came up here to get away from everything and I just made it worse."

Sirius tightened his arms around the boy. "Well you did get my mind off of things downstairs. And I'll always enjoy spending time with you even when you're being a handful."
