Oh Whee! Two minutes after I post I have 5 reviews! Each stating how evil/sadistic I am! Wow I'm proud of myself! Ehem. Now, for the replies to the reviews!
FairyQuilan: Ehe, yes I do find you amusing. But don't worry, not in a like… "Dance you stupid clown! Entertain me slave girl!" more like in a "of shizit. This persons pretty awesome." So don't worry! I don't really like Ron either… And I'm not knocking the evilness, I quite agree with you. Snape kicks ass, but I just know a girl who is OBSESSED with him and she kind of turned me off to the whole "mad Snape fan girl" thing… But for you Snape fans I stumbled upon this (I didn't make it) and thought you might like it: http/members.lycos.nl/likwi/potion.htm

Harry was freaked out. For a while everyone stood in silence, starring at the unconscious form of Hermionie's DADA professor. No one really knew what to say, but then Alice summed it all up perfectly. In one eloquent word she announced what all of their muddled and hazy minds was trying to tell them.
"Shit." Hermionie blinked at the words, she frowned and looked at them oddly.
"What the hell was that?" She shook her head. "Why did he faint?" She started looking swiftly between Alice, Harry, and Professor Black. "WHAT WAS HE LOOKING AT!" She started to hyperventilate. Alice strode up to her and slapped her hard across the face.
"Get a hold on yourself woman!" She snapped sternly, Hermionie starred at her in disbelieve and brought a surprised hand to her cheek. Alice started to giggle. "Sorry, I've always wanted to do that." Hermionie rolled her eyes, Harry ignored them both and crept forward to the dark haired man. He poked him gently with his bow, once satisfied with his lack of consciousness He knelt down and pried the shabby piece of paper from his hand. The two girls stopped bickering childishly and walked up behind him to look over his shoulder, they found themselves looking at a map. The map had little moving dots with names all over it; right where they were was four dots labeled with their own names. Harry wondered what this map had done to make Shadow faint like that, he was startled by a loud squeak from Hermionie as she staggered back. He spun around and looked at her curiously, she had her hands over her mouth and her eyes were wide as saucers as they starred at Him.
"You… You're HARRY POTTER!" She choked out, Harry stiffened. Ah yes, that might be the reason. Hermionie promptly fainted. Alice and Harry shared a look.
"Shit." Harry nodded in an agreement.

Black. That wasn't just his last name. Black was currently all Sirius could see, the black faded away and he found himself laying on a hard stone ground, his head really hurt. He briefly wondered why the hell he was laying on the ground when a soft female voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Shit." The voice said, Sirius looked up and saw a pretty elf girl and an equally pretty human boy. Wait… Not just boy. That's why he was on the ground; he fainted. No, no wait… Passed out, fainted made him sound like a girl. He passed out because his supposed dead godson was standing right in front of him. Slowly and carefully Sirius stood up, keeping his teary eyes trained firmly on Harry. Him and the girl looked up at him and Sirius by some miracle found his tongue.
"H… Harry…" He stuttered out, Harry bit his lip and slowly nodded his head. Sirius felt his pulse quicken.
"Yes…" Sirius' breath hitched at hearing his Godson speak to him for the first time in16 years, and last time the "speaking" was his tiny voice stumbling over his name. He had gotten as close as "Pafoo" before he gave up. "I am Harry Potter…" Nervously he ran his hand through his long hair, pushing the bangs out of the way so his infamous lightning bolt scar was visible. The overall gesture caused Sirius to flash back to James. "But… Don't. Freak. Out." He said, worry and slight concern in those amazing green eyes. This particular gesture caused him to flash to Lily, and he lost it. Sirius dissolved into sobs and began laughing at the same time. He simply couldn't decide which one suited the occasion better; overall it was an odd sight to see. He vaguely heard the girl mutter something like: "Well so much for not freaking out." All he knew was Harry standing before him, very much alive. All he felt was the overwhelming mixture of joy, confusion, and utter disbelieve that bubbled frantically in his chest to an almost painful extent. The butterflies in his stomach seemed to have invited a herd of Hippogriffs over, and were starting a mosh-pit in his gut. With not a second thought he strode forward and wrapped his arms firmly around Harry and began sobbing into his neck, babbling an endless stream of emotion-ridden words.

Harry didn't know what to do. Shadow was clinging to him for dear life, like he was going to vanish any minute. In the shock of it all Harry found himself wrapping his arms around the distraught man in return and struggling to support his weight, as Shadow's legs seemed to be giving out. Finally Harry couldn't take it and they now were both on the ground. Harry had his legs tucked under him and Sirius had his legs resting to his side as he continued to sob into his arms. Words were floating to Harry's ears, wet and smothered words coming from Sirius. Harry struggled to understand them.
"Oh god Harry. I can't believe it; I can't believe you're alive. I never wanted to believe it; I nearly died when I heard. I never got over it and I never could." Harry felt shocked at these words; people did miss him. A lot. Gently, Harry pried himself away from Sirius so he could look him in his bloodshot and tear soaked eyes. His face was flushed and his nose red, his eyes seemed so lost yet absolutely overjoyed and his lips were trembling. "I've taken so many years to try and tell myself that you were dead… But every time someone would knock on my door I would run to answer it… Somehow thinking it would be you… Every Christmas… Every birthday… I would somehow be convinced that you would come running into my room to wake me up at dawn by bouncing on my bed. Telling me to wake up and that you wanted your presents… Part of me had given up after so long… But now… you're here, you're alive… you're… you exist… And now… I find myself trying to convince myself that this isn't just a dream. That I won't wake up any second all alone and even more heart broken than before…" Sirius broke off into more distraught sobs. Harry found tears in his own eyes. He may not know him too much, but this man loved him. He didn't know how he could when he had never known him before, but it was evident. He loved him with all his heart. Harry let out a shaky breath and gave him a slightly watery smile.
"Don't worry Shadow… This isn't a dream. And I'm not going to disappear." Sirius let out a strangled noise at this and buried his face in Harry's neck. He took a deep breath and tried to memorize his scent, he tried to memorize the feel of his hair and how it felt with his arms around him. He took in the way his hands rubbed soothing circles on his back and the sound of his soft voice as he whispered reassuring words in his ear. Sirius took every possible thing into memory, just in case Harry was wrong, just in case this was indeed a dream.
After many emotional minutes Sirius had calmed down enough for Harry to talk to. He pulled back again to look at him and smiled a bit.
"I… I'm sorry, but why…" Harry didn't know what exactly to say, how exactly to put this. Sirius gave him a questioning look. "Why have you missed me so much? You don't even really know me do you?" Sirius gave a short sob and shook his head with a smile and a fresh batch of tears spilling from his eyes.
"Harry, you're wrong. I do know you…" It was Harry's turn to be confused. "I was your dad's best friend. I was his best man at his and your moms wedding. I do know you; I was there at the hospital when you were born. I was the guy who would sneak over to your house when you were one and steal you from your parents, sending them into a fit. I was the one who gave you that black stuffed dog for your birthday, you loved that thing…" Sirius laughed a bit at the memories and Harry was full on crying now, simply crying and listening in shock. He knew that dog Sirius was talking about; he had it with him in the orphanage. It was the only thing Harry had from his old life, he had begged Aeson to sneak back and get it… It was still sitting on his bed back in the grove. "I missed you so much pup. I… I'm your Godfather." At these words Harry himself felt like following the popular trend as of late by fainting dead away. He choked on his tears and blinked a few times.
"My… Godfather?" He whispered softly, Sirius smiled and nodded his head. His smile faded when Harry sent him a death glare. "Why did you leave me? Why did you leave me at the Dursley's? They hated me! Why did you let me rot at the orphanage? How could you miss me so fucking much if you didn't even want me!" He sobbed out, his voice practically yelling by the end. Sirius was shaking his head, rivers of tears streaming down his face.
"No! Pup! I did want you! I wanted you more than anything! They wouldn't let me have you!" He sighed and got a lost look on his handsome face. "I was framed for handing your parents over to Voldemort. They sent me to Azkaban prison without even a trial. I was proven innocent four years ago, the first thing I wanted to do was see you… But it was too late, I didn't even know until then. Remus told me you were dead and…" He trailed off again, pleading eyes burning into Harry's. Harry felt his breath return to normal, he wasn't unwanted. He was loved.
"Good then." He said with a grin as he collapsed into his godfather's arms, reveling in the feel of his strong arms hugging him tenderly back.
&HP&
Alice smiled; this was certainly a lot to take in. But it was all so fantastic; Harry had a godfather. They were so cute together like that, she felt herself loose control and she began to giggle, both men looked up. Harry smiled and pulled out of the hug, collecting himself.
"Sirius, this is my best mate: Alice." He said gesturing to Alice with a grin. Sirius grinned and shook the hand offered to him.
"Then it's definitely nice to meet you." He said causing Alice to chuckle.
"Like wise Shadow!" She replied jovially, Sirius raised an eyebrow.
"Shadow? I heard you call me that too Harry. What's that about?" Harry laughed and explained their pass time of "human watching" and all their nicknames for people. Sirius was cracking up by the end. "Interesting. All this time we've been looking for you you've been watching us do it." Harry had the kindness to look sheepish. "So you named my animagus form 'Shadow'? Your dad, Remus and I named his Padfoot." He said with a small half smile. Alice noticed a look of shock on Harry's face, Sirius obviously saw it too because he asked him what was wrong. Harry blinked a few times and looked directly in Sirius' eyes, tears rolling down his cheek.
"I… I remember…" He gave out a short huff of laughter. "I remember!" Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Pafoo… You kidnapped me…" Alice was confused as hell but Harry's words seemed to strike something in Sirius because he was crying as well. Their moment was interrupted by a small moan behind them.
"My head…" Hermionie sat up and rubbed her head, grumbling about something. Suddenly she looked up and starred at Harry in shock. "You…"
"Yeah Herm…" Harry interjected. "I am… That's what I wanted to tell you before the whole thing with Sirius. But please, it's still just me. Could you still not tell anyone?" Hermionie gave a silent nod and Harry smiled at her.
"Wait! Not tell anyone? Aren't you coming back?" Sirius asked frantically, Harry spun around and looked at him.
"Sirius… I… I'm sorry… But I'm just not ready for…" He looked up at the castle. "That… I'm not leaving; I just have to go back to the grove for now… Please understand… I promise to still see you." Sirius let out a shaky breath and slowly needed.
"Ok fine. But I'm gonna hold you to that, I want to see you all the time alright?" Harry nodded eagerly at this and gave him a long hug. He smiled and stood up, as they pulled apart, helping Sirius up too. He gave Hermionie a hug and picked up his bow. Alice followed suit with a handshake with Sirius and Hug to Hermionie. Everyone said their good-byes and went their separate ways. Hermionie went to her common room to gather herself more and process everything, Alice and Harry walked back home to the grove in a comfortable silence. Sirius on the other hand was running, he couldn't contain all the energy he had, he didn't want to scare the students he passed. So he tried to hold in the loud slightly maniacal laughter bubbling in his throat so he ran by them all with a large insane grin on his face, scaring the hell out of all of them all the same.

Remus Lupin picked up his cloak, readying to go to a late lunch when Sirius burst in. Sirius had one hand in a death grip on the doorframe, other hand hanging in a fist by his side. He was out of breath and his eyes were wide and starring at Remus gleefully, a homicidal grin splitting his slightly flushed face. Remus slowly set his cloak down and knitted his brows together. He was extremely disturbed. Remus shouted fearfully as Sirius dashed towards him as fast as lightning. He wrapped one arm tightly around Remus' waist and gripped his other hand, holding it out to their sides. He began humming and twirling him and the terrified werewolf around the room. He let go of his waist and spun him with the one hand, letting go so he stumbled and fell into the chair at his desk. He looked on in morbid fear as Sirius continued to hum and dance around the room. Suddenly he stopped dead, starring at nothing. Then he fell to his knees, head bowed. Little drops of water appeared on the stone floor under his face; he was crying.
"Sirius?" Remus whispered slowly, Sirius looked up at him. He had tears lining his face and a serene smile on his face. "You ok?" He turned his eyes to look out the window that showed a view of the grounds leading to the forbidden forest. His eyes lingered on the forest and his tears thickened. Slowly he looked back at his friend with a wider smile.
"Yeah Moony… I'm fine… Everything is fine… Everything is going to be ok…" He began to chuckle, it grew into full-blown laughter. Remus raised an eyebrow and picked up his cloak.
"Euh… Nice to know…" He slowly inched out the door and into the corridor, walking quickly and fearfully to the great hall. Leaving a laughing and crying Sirius in his office.
