Destiny, Interrupted

Chapter Three

Meeting the Marauders

'Oh Merlin…I'm going to meet my parents…' Harry thought as he tried to remember that he didn't know where the Gryffindor's common room was and that Sirius had to lead him there…he was already giving him these odd looks that he had no idea what they meant. 'I bet he thinks I'm crazy…' Harry thought rather sadly as he looked up at his Godfather, who was walking next to him. He was taller with black hair that went below his shoulders. He was walking with his hands in his pocket and was chewing his lower lip. 'I wonder what he's thinking about…' That was when Harry turned his head and stopped dead. He was looking into a mirror that held a reflection that he didn't recognize. Oh, he recognized the eyes…they were his…bright green…but nothing else even remotely looked like him...even the shape of his eyes were a little bit different. He moved his hand to his hair and ran his hand through it, just to make sure it was really there. He then touched his nose, which was slightly smaller. Slowly he moved his hand to his forehead and moved the red bangs away…there he saw nothing…absolutely nothing…his scar was gone and instead was smooth, unmarred skin. A smile crept slowly over his face and he turned around to look at Sirius. He opened his mouth to say something, but all that came out was a choking noise…he didn't know where the choke came from…it was either he was about to say something stupid, (which Destiny told him not to do) or it was from the look Sirius' was giving him…he wasn't quite sure how to describe it, but it looked as if Sirius was trying to see into his very soul. Harry closed his mouth then bit his lower lip.

Abruptly, Sirius turned away from him and stared at one of the portraits. "Come on Harry. We got to get going…it's almost time for dinner and I want you to meet everyone before that time…" He swiftly turned around and started to quicken his steps down the hall.

Harry stared at his retreating back. 'I wonder what's wrong?' he thought as he ran to catch up…

--------------------------------------

'What the bloody hell's wrong with me?' Sirius thought as Harry caught up to him. 'You're acting like bloody lunatic…' Sirius sighed and had to agree with the voice. He wasn't acting at all normal. Sirius sighed and turned a corner to walk up the stairs. 'He's craziness must be contagious…' one voice said. 'Craziness' not contagious…' another voice said…the voice from early that was trying to convince him that he wasn't straight. 'You're just acting like a lunatic because you like him…' the voice said slyly and Sirius just decided to ignore it…that voice was his crazy side talking and it never did anyone good to listen to their certifiable side.

"Um…Sirius? Aren't we here?" Harry asked, interrupting Sirius from his thoughts.

Sirius looked up and realized that he had walked past the Fat Lady portrait and that Harry was standing there, looking at him like he was deciding is he was alright or not. Sirius narrowed his eyes and walked to the portrait. The Fat Lady gave Sirius a very disgruntle look. "Hello Mr. Black."

"Hey." Sirius said and smiled. "Gillyweed."

The Fat Lady looked disapprovingly at Sirius then Harry, but swung open to permit them anyways. As soon as they were in, the she swung shut and everyone looked up to see who had entered. As they walked towards the back, all the Gryffindors in the common room gave them curious looks and whispered. Sirius just rolled his eyes and ignored them, but Harry looked at them, trying to see if he knew anyone from the future. He could've sworn he saw Charlie as a first year. Since Harry was busy looking at all the students, he didn't realize that Sirius had stopped until he ran right into his back. He quickly took a step back and Sirius looked over his shoulder to give him a puzzled look. Harry smiled in an apologetic way and Sirius turned back to looking at a bunch of boys. That's when Harry realized why Sirius stopped…

----------------------------------

A boy with long sandy blonde hair looked up from his book when his friend stepped into their circle. He narrowed his eyes at the boy with long black hair and blue eyes but when he turned and looked at the other boy, his amber eyes widened.

"Hey Sirius." A boy with short, spiky black hair and hazel eyes said with a smile and then he turned his head to look at the other boy. "Who's this?"

Sirius smiled and pulled the redheaded boy closer to them. The redheaded boys green eyes widen and he opened his mouth, but all that came out was a sort of choking sound. The boy with amber eyes, the boy with hazel eyes and the boy with light blue eyes and short light brown hair looked at him, then Sirius. Sirius rolled his eyes then with the hand that didn't have a grip on the redheaded boy he made a circular motions with his pointer finger by the side of his head, marking the other boy as crazy. The green eyed boy must have seen that because he glared at Sirius and stomped on his foot. Sirius' eyes went wide and he let go of the boy to grab his foot and fall onto the couch that was occupied by the hazel eyed boy. All the boys burst out laughing at the looks the redheaded boy and Sirius were giving each other. Soon enough, the boy who Sirius thought was crazy, turned his glare away from him and looked at the other boys.

"Hi." He said. "My name is Harry Granger."

The boy with sandy blonde hair smiled at Harry. "Hi Harry. I'm Remus Lupin, this is James Potter," he said, pointing to he boy with short, spiky black hair, "and this is Peter Pettigrew." He pointed to the last boy in their little circle of chairs.

Harry smiled and nodded. "Hi. Nice to meet you."

James smiled back and started poking Sirius in the ribs with his foot. "Where'd you get him?" he asked as he started to tickle Sirius with his toes.

Sirius looked like he wanted to bite James' foot off, but he just pushed it away. "I found him in the halls." He turned and looked at Harry. "You can sit down you know."

Harry gave him an evil look and sighed. 'If it weren't for the fact that he's my Godfather and I wanted to see him, I'd probably just kick him…really hard…' Harry thought and looked around to see where he could sit. Peter was sitting on an arm chair and Sirius and James were already taking up a whole couch. He looked at Remus, who was lying down on the couch. Remus smiled and moved his feet so Harry could sit down. Harry smiled back and plopped down on the couch with Remus and facing Sirius. "So, why haven't we seen you before?" Remus asked and Harry took he gaze away from his father and his Godfather to look at Remus.

"I was home schooled for the first six years of my life." He replied and turned his gaze towards Peter. His smiled slipped and his eyes narrowed a little. 'Bloody git…'

'Harry, he hasn't done anything…' Destiny muttered in his head.

Harry wrinkled his nose. 'I can't have any private thoughts, can I?'

'No, not when you were thinking murder…'

'I wasn't thinking murder…'

'Then what do you call mentally torturing Peter?'

'Wishful thinking?' he replied innocently in his head.

Destiny laughed. 'You're crazy. Now, you better behave around Peter or I'm going to have to do more then just block your voice box. By the way, they're talking to you.'

Harry abruptly came out of his thoughts and saw that all of the Marauders were looking at him like he was nuts. Harry smiled. "Sorry, lost in my thoughts…what were you saying?"

The boys looked at each other. 'He really is an odd one.' Remus thought and turned back to Harry. "We were wondering why you now just decided to come to Hogwarts after six years."

Harry looked shocked. Once again, something Destiny didn't bother to tell him. 'You know, you're very cruel to me.' Destiny said with a pout.

'Well, if you told me everything before they ask, then maybe I wouldn't be cruel to you or they wouldn't think I'm bonkers…'

'But you make such a cute maniac…' Destiny replied sweetly and laughed when Harry mentally growled. 'Alright, just tell them…well, the only way I can think of is…'

'That my family died…' he replied sadly and Destiny nodded.

'Sorry…not everything can be candy and rainbows…'

'I know…thanks by the way…'

'You're welcomed. I don't do this for just anyone you know. Now before this gets all mushy…you might want to talk to them…they probably wondering why you take so long to answer…and they can't blame it all on your mental disability.'

'I don't have a mental disability!'

'Now you do…talk to them now.' With that, she disappeared.

Harry took a moment to get his thoughts in order and looked up at the Marauders. "My family died…"

"Oi…sorry mate." Sirius replied. "Is that why you're mental?"

Everyone looked at him in utter horror. James kicked him while Remus chucked the very big book in his hands at him. Sirius took the kick in the ribs and blocked the book from hitting his head with his arm. Remus, James and Peter all glared at him and turned to Harry. "I'm sorry Harry…he can't control what comes out of his mouth." James said and watched as Harry's eyes filled with tears, his body start to shake and him biting his lower lip. James turned and glared at his friend. "What the hell! You made a crazy person cry!" Suddenly, James realized what he said and covered his mouth and said, "Oh Merlin! I'm sorry Harry! I didn't mean that!" Harry just buried his head in his legs and shook more.

Remus glared at the two black haired males, who were looking really guilty. Remus looked at Harry and wondered what he should do. He just met the boy so he didn't know if he should hug him or what to comfort him. He felt like he knew Harry as soon as he saw him but he didn't know if Harry felt the same way and if he'd appreciate being hugged or whatever after just knowing his name. Remus sighed. He hated being indecisive.

Suddenly, Sirius walked over, sat next to Harry and put his arms around him. "Oi…I'm sorry Harry…I didn't mean to say that…I should've thought before I said anything. I'm really sorry…you're not crazy…just…quirky. You forgive me? And James…seeing as he also was being idiotic."

Remus raised his eyebrow at Sirius. 'Interesting…wonder what made him do that…' he thought.

--------------------------------------------------

About two minutes ago…

"Oi…sorry mate." Sirius replied. "Is that why you're mental?" As soon as he said that, he wanted to kick himself. The look of horror that crossed his face and his friends made him want to sink inside the couch. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught movement from both James and Remus. He decided the kick wouldn't be so bad but the book Remus just threw at him was pretty damn big, so he moved a bit so James kicked mainly his hip then his ribs and moved his arm in front of his face as to not get a concussion. He felt them all glare at him but when he looked at Harry, his eyes were already filling with tears and he looked about ready to bawl.

He heard James talk as he stared at Harry and guilt start to fill him up. "I'm sorry Harry…he can't control what comes out of his mouth." James said and Sirius saw that Harry started to shake and that he was biting his lower lip. He felt James turn and glare at him. "What the hell! You made a crazy person cry!" Sirius turned to James as soon as that was out of his mouth and saw that his eyes went wide with horror and he covered his mouth. "Oh Merlin! I'm sorry Harry! I didn't mean that!" Sirius turned to see that Harry buried his head in his drawn up legs and his body shake more. Remus glared at them both briefly and turned to look at Harry.

'Oh Merlin…' Sirius thought. 'What did I do?'

'Yeah, what the hell did you do to him!' a familiar voice shouted in his head. Sirius winced when he heard Fate continue. 'I give you your soul mate and what do you do? You make him cry before you even known him for an hour! You're one sorry excuse for a lover boy…'

'I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that…it just came out. And he is not my soul mate! And I am not a sorry excuse for a lover!'

'Yeah, well prove it…listen to your bloody conscience for once and apologize! I didn't bring him here to get his heart broken.'

Sirius bit his lip and stood up. He walked over to Harry, put his arms around him and rested his head on his shoulder. "Oi…I'm sorry Harry…I didn't mean to say that…I should've thought before I said anything. I'm really sorry…you're not crazy…just…quirky. You forgive me? And James…seeing as he also was being idiotic." Sirius looked up to see Remus, James and Peter staring at him. 'Let the stare…I'm apologizing, nothing to get all worried about…though this is kind of nice…no, no…stop thinking like that.'

Suddenly Harry started to make a funny noise and Sirius gently moved his arms away. "Harry?"

Harry looked up and he burst out laughing. Everyone within the proximity looked at Harry, but the oddest looks he got were from the Marauders. "Oh, I'm really sorry…I wasn't mad…"

"Then why…?" Sirius asked, moving his arms a little bit so Harry could sit up straighter.

"I wasn't crying…I was trying really hard not to laugh."

"You weren't offended?" Sirius sounded shock.

Harry shook his head. "Maybe a little, but the look you had afterward was so funny that I couldn't stay mad…I just didn't want to hurt your feeling by laughing…"

"I though I had hurt yours…"

Harry shook his head again and waved his hand dismissively. "You're going to have to do more then that to hurt my feelings…but, if you keep telling everyone I'm crazy, I'm going to have to kick you…really hard."

All of them were quiet. Slowly, Sirius started to grin and he gave him a noogie. "Of course I'll stop telling people you're crazy…they figure it out on their own anyways."

Harry tried to glare at him, but seeing as he was still getting a noogie, he couldn't look at Sirius. "You are a royal prick, you know that?"

Sirius stopped. "I'm not a prick!" he replied in a rather surprised voice.

Harry grinned and tackled him. Harry was smiling down at Sirius, who was blushing rather cutely. "Yes you are."

Since he was pinned down, he couldn't cross his arms, so he settled for pouting. "No, I'm not…now who's being the cruel one?" Harry moved his hands to Sirius' chest and laid his chin down on them. His smile widened. Suddenly, Sirius was feeling all too comfortable having a boy on top of him that it was making him uncomfortable. "Are you ever going to get off?"

Harry shook his head. "I'm comfy."

Sirius' eyes narrowed. "Are you a poof?"

Harry's eyes widened and quickly pushed off Sirius, landing himself in Remus' lap. Harry looked up at him. "I'm sorry…" he said with a blush.

Remus rolled his eyes. "It's alright."

Sirius slowly sat up and glared at the sight of Harry in Remus' lap. In one quick motion, Sirius reached out, grabbed Harry by his arms and pulled him out of Remus' lap and practically into his. When he realized that he still had a hold on Harry and that he was still glaring at Remus and practically growling, he let go of Harry and pushed him off the couch and onto the floor…which was carpeted, so it didn't hurt…as much.

Harry landed on the floor with an 'oof' and glared up at Sirius. "What was that bloody hell was that for!"

Sirius realized what he did and tried not to blush. "It's payback…"

"For what?" he asked as he sat up.

Sirius tried to ignore how cute Harry looked when he was angry and concentrate on the conversation and the fact that he didn't think Harry was cute. "For pinning me down…now, will you answer me?"

"Truthfully?"

"Yes, that would be nice."

"I don't know."

"Would you like to know what I think?" Remus asked and Sirius took his gaze away for a very cute and very pissed Harry.

"What?" He asked and Remus kicked him so quick and hard that it took a moment for him to respond. "OUCH! What the hell! What was that for!" he yelped while rubbing his side.

"That was for being a prick to the new kid." Remus said as James helped Harry off the ground and onto the couch he was on. Both James and Harry glared at him.

"What's your problem Siri?" James asked.

Sirius crossed his arms and leaned against the couch arm. "Nothing." He muttered.

"It's something." Remus practically growled back.

Sirius looked at him. 'Wow…he's actually talking to me now.' He thought. 'Though the way he looks like he wants to murder me…maybe he shouldn't start talking to me now…'

"I think Sirius is a bit embarrassed that has finally found his calling." Peter said, interrupting his thoughts.

Sirius looked at him. "What are you talking about?"

Peter smirked. "I think you have finally admitted to yourself that…" the rest was muffled by Sirius' hand over his mouth.

Sirius leaned close to Peter's ear. "I thought we already discussed this…" he whispered calmly, which was scarier then if he was whispering it angrily. "You are to keep your mouth shut about what you think you know…"

Peter narrowed his eyes at him and Sirius moved his a little so Peter could talk. "You know there's nothing wrong with liking guys."

Sirius shook his head. "I do not like men."

"The others know about your dreams and such you know."

"You told them!"

"Hell no, but you aren't exactly…quiet sometimes…"

"I put up silencing charms…"

"Not always…"

Sirius groaned and hid his head in the nook of Peter's neck. "Kill me now…" he muttered.

Peter patted his back. "It's alright…and this probably isn't helping your case any."

Sirius suddenly realized what he was doing and got up slowly from Peter. "Sorry mate, got a little carried away." He said and looked at his friends. James and Remus were both smirking and Harry was looking away, blushing. 'Wonder what he was thinking about?'

-----------------------

'Ooo! Harry's having dirty thoughts!' Destiny said inside Harry's head.

'Am not!' Harry thought back and tried to keep himself from blushing. 'I am not having any perverted thoughts about Sirius…the only thoughts about him right now are how I'm going to murder him…'

'Aw, come now…you don't really want to murder him…'

'And why not?'

'You could put him to such better use…'

'I'm starting to think you're more perverted then an old man…'

'Guilty!' she replied cheekily.

Harry rolled his eyes and ignored her. He saw Sirius come back to sit on the other side of the couch that Remus was on. "We should probably head down to dinner." James said, getting up. Harry looked up at him and smiled. 'I finally get to meet my parents.' He thought as James grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him up. "And we get to show off our new classmate!"

Remus got up and walked over to his book. He picked it up and set it on the table. "Yeah, we probably should…I'm hungry."

"Me too." Peter said and stood up.

Sirius looked at them and sighed. "You don't even have to ask my opinion about dinner."

"Okay, so lets got then!" James shouted and started to drag Harry towards the portrait hole. As he was being dragged, he noticed that everyone else had already gone.

"You don't have to drag him." Sirius shouted.

James turned his head. "Like you didn't literally drag him here."

Sirius shut his mouth and looked away. Remus walked ahead of him and Peter walked beside him. Peter poked him in the ribs. "Come on, don't look so down that you finally admitted to yourself that…" he trailed off at the look Sirius was giving him. "Fine, fine, stay in the damn closet. I'm not the one who's going to get claustrophobic in there." Peter muttered and walked ahead of him.

Sirius sighed. 'What the hell did fate do to me?' he thought.

'Fate gave you what you wanted.' The voice of Fate said somewhere in his head.

'Shut up…' Sirius muttered in his head as he walked out the portrait hole and down the hall towards the Great Hall. 'Dinner's going to be interesting…'
