CHAPTER 10

Dumbledore had explained to Riley and Harry, that the protection on Harry was only strong when he stayed at the Dursleys for at least a week. So every summer holidays, Harry would stay there for a week, and then Remus would come and pick him up. Riley had heaps of things planned for the holidays, she wanted Harry to help her with her flying, and they were going to go to diagon alley and just have some fun. A week after Harry would arrive however was the full moon, so Harry would be going to stay with Ron and Riley was going to stay with Dumbledore.

"Do you realise that I'm the only girl?" Riley asked as she walked into the kitchen.

"I'm sure you'll survive" Sirius said as he wrapped his arms around Remus' waist.

"Oh guys that's gross" Riley said, as she covered her eyes.

"What?" Remus asked, blushing.

"I may be happy that you guys are together, I mean you are both my dad but I don't need to see it" Riley replied.

"So what are you up to today?" Remus asked.

"Thought maybe I could take Padfoot to the park?" Riley asked hopefully.

"Are you sure that's safe?" Remus asked.

"It'll be fine Moony" Sirius said, smiling "I'd love to go" he added looking at Riley. "But I wont do the whole leash thing, that's just degrading" he said.

"That's fine, but you'll need to stay close while we walk to the park then" Riley replied as she sat on the stool at the bench, waiting for her bacon and toast. "And dear father, what are you up to today?" Riley asked Remus.

"Well I might finish reading that book with you guys gone, it'll be quiet" Remus replied.

"What book are you reading?" Riley asked and Sirius groaned.

"I wish Harry would hurry up and get here, at least while you two go on about books, I'll have Harry" Sirius said.

"Oh you'll survive for two more days Dad" Riley replied "So what book dad?" she asked.

"Galilee" Remus replied "Good book, you should borrow it when I'm done" he added.

"Already read it, that time you grounded me remember?" Riley said.

"Ah yes that's right" Remus replied.

"Why did you ground her?" Sirius asked, looking shocked.

"This one here" Remus said, pointing to an innocent smiling Riley, "Has a foul mouth on her when she's not careful" he finished.

"I do not" Riley said "You're just hearing things in your old age dad" she added, then ducked as a piece of toast came flying at her.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the park?" Remus said.

"Yeah let's go, just grab my shoes" Riley replied and she ran upstairs. She came back down the stairs, shoes on and a yellow ball in her hand while Padfoot was already waiting at the door. "See you dad" Riley called and they both headed out the door. The park was a very short distance from their house, so Padfoot didn't have far before he could bound and jump in the leaves. "Catch Padfoot" Riley yelled as she threw the tennis ball. Padfoot raised a doggy eye brow at her, before chasing the ball and instead of being a good dog and bringing it back, he wanted to play. He came close, and then when Riley went to grab the ball, he'd move away a few steps, until Riley finally caught on and chased him. She finally caught Padfoot and got the ball, holding it in her hand she looked at him and said "So you want to play games hey?" and she pretended to lob the ball across the park.

Padfoot took off, but stopped when he heard Riley laughing and when he turned around, saw the ball in her hands. He charged back and before Riley could do anything, he knocked her over and licked her senseless.

They played tag, chase the ducks, fetch and just general rough and tumble for a couple of hours, before collapsing on the ground. Riley lay on the grass on her back while Padfoot rested his head on her stomach and they both just lay there, quietly. "Glad you come back" Riley said as she scratched Padfoot behind his ears. "We should probably head back home, come on" she added, and then got up. She opened the gate and Padfoot trotted through and then stopped, waiting for Riley to walk through and shut the gate. They walked back to the house, Riley was bouncing the ball on the foot path and Padfoot kept watching the ball.

"Did you have fun?" Remus asked when they arrived back.

"Sure did. Don't think the ducks did though" Sirius said, as he transformed back.

"Well now you've had your fun, Riley your room is a mess" Remus said "It better be cleaned by dinner time or your eating dinner in your room" he added.

"Yeah alright" Riley said as she tramped up the stairs.

The days passed and it was time for Remus to go pick Harry up and bring him home. Sirius was looking forward to having Harry come stay with them; he wanted to get to know his godson, the son of one of his best mates. And besides, he now would have Harry to talk to, when Remus and Riley went off on their tangents about the books they were currently reading.

"Alright I will be back soon, don't blow the house up whatever you do" Remus said and then he left.

"Why would he think we'd blow the house up?" Sirius asked.

"It's Dad being paranoid, he think us alone means chaos" Riley replied, not taking her eyes away from her book.

"Well nothing is going to happen with you reading" Sirius replied as he flopped down next to her and started to poke her.

"This happens to be a very good book and I've wanted to read it for ages, so just leave me alone" Riley replied and she smacked his hand.

"You can so tell Moony raised you" Sirius said, pouting.

"By the way, where is Padfoot and Moony?" Riley asked, finally putting down her book.

"Moony has gone to get Harry and I'm here" Sirius replied, grinning at her full aware of who she meant.

"Don't be silly, I left them on my bed this morning and now they have gone and the last I checked, they weren't alive" Riley said, still looking at him "Dad doesn't like when I make them move" she added.

"I haven't touched them" Sirius replied.

"Dad, if they are buried in the backyard again I will neuter you" Riley replied, causing Sirius to close his legs tight together.

"I'll be right back" Sirius said and he went outside.

"Thought so" Riley called to him. A few hours later, the backyard was dug up and Remus arrived home with Harry.

"Oh where are they?" Remus asked, and then Harry started laughing. Remus followed Harry's gaze out to the backyard. "What have they done?" he asked as he walked to the back door.

"Dad he lost Padfoot and moony" Riley said as she saw Remus "Hey Harry" she added.

"And he had to dig the whole backyard up because?" Remus asked, looking around at his once beautiful backyard.

"He buried them somewhere and now he can't find them" Riley yelled in Sirius' direction.

"I can't leave you two alone can I?" Remus said, running his hands through his hair.

"Least we didn't blow up the house" Sirius said, sitting cross legged on the ground. "Heya Harry, so glad you're here" he added seeing Harry.

"Yes, he can't handle us intellectuals" Riley said "Oh sorry Dad, that's a big word, us smart people, is that better?" she added, folding her arms across her chest.

"Are they always like this?" Harry asked Remus.

'Yes they are, Riley likes to use big words and when Sirius has been annoying her, she'll ignore him and talk to me about books" Remus replied. "Oh Maddie, Isis dropped this off when we came home as well" Remus added, handing Riley a letter.

"Thanks dad" Riley replied "You better find Padfoot and Moony dad, or I will get you neutered" she added, and then walked inside.

"You just can't help yourself can you?" Remus asked, looking at Sirius.

"Maybe I didn't bury them, maybe they are inside somewhere" Sirius said.

"Fix the backyard first Sirius, then go and have a look" Remus replied and headed inside with Harry.
