Chapter 5- A Very Rewarding Friendship


The longer the two visitors stared at Alan in shock, the larger his grin became.

"Why are you grinning?" the older man demanded, frowning," This is...a disaster."

Alan cleared his throat, hoping he could pull off something Sirius-like, but rather doubting he could," Well, I like to look at...this new development as an opportunity."

"Are you actually saying," the man said, sounding incredulous," that you wanted to look like you're the same age as Teddy?"

Alan glanced at the kid next to the man, who must be Teddy. He was taller than Alan, but did appear to be the same age.

"I think you're just jealous of how good looking I am now," Alan replied.

Remus glowered at 'Sirius'," Oh yes, Sirius, that's exactly why I'm upset."

" That's good for you, mate," Alan clapped the older man on the back," It takes a real man to admit the truth like that."

Remus sighed," Yes, well, before I take you to St. Mungo's to get this little mishap fixed, I'm going to have to ask you a few questions, just to make sure you are Sirius."

Alan laughed nervously," Right...but first, let's have some tea, you know to calm the nerves and what not."

Alan quickly dashed from the room, hoping for anything he could find to answer these questions. He didn't know a thing about his grandfather!


Teddy turned to his dad," I'm going to the loo."

Remus nodded absently, his mind was still on the 'situation' obviously.

Teddy then started off in the direction that 'Sirius' had run off in. Something just wasn't quite right, and Teddy was going to find out what.

It didn't take long to find 'Sirius.' He had traversed under the kitchen, into Kreacher's 'room', leaning against the wall with his eyes tightly closed.

"What's up Sirius?" Teddy asked, the sound of his foot tapping against the hard floor reverberating through the tiny room.

'Sirius's head snapped up," What are you doing here?"

Teddy shook his head," I believe the question is, what are you doing here?"

" I live here," Alan replied, smirking. He was being honest, after all.

Teddy frowned at him," If you're Sirius Black, then who am I?"

Alan glared up at him," How am I supposed to know?"

Teddy grinned," Exactly! If you were Sirius you'd know."

Alan sighed," Fine. I'm not Sirius, you happy now?"

"Not quite," Teddy answered," Who are you?"

"I'm the best looking wizard you'll ever meet," Alan supplied, albeit unhelpfully.

Teddy glared at him," You know...you do sound an awful lot like him...and you look like him too. Are you related?"

" I'm his grandson, Alan."

Teddy eyes grew wide, and his hair flashed bright pink," GRANDSON?"

Alan slammed his hand over Teddy's mouth," Shut it...wait a second did your hair just turn pink?"

Teddy glared up at him, until Alan finally got the message to let him go," I'm a metamorph-"

There was a sound from upstairs and both of the boys froze. After a few seconds, Alan spoke again," Listen, you don't blow my cover...and I'll do whatever you want."

Teddy raised an eyebrow" I don't want anything, I just want in on the prank. I'll even tell you what you'll need to know to answer my dad's questions."

Alan grinned," I believe this is the beginning to a very rewarding friendship, mate."


Sirius was sitting at his desk in the auror department. To his disappointment, all he'd had to do his enter shift thus far was paper work.

That was until a very flustered Harry came running into his office.

"Sirius...what are you doing here? Remus said..."

"Don't always listen to Remus, Harry, he talks nonsense most the time. And as to what I'm doing here, I'm supposedly working as an auror, you know kicking dark wizard ass and whatnot, but I'm stuck in here, looking through piles of pointless-"

"You don't understand, Sirius," Harry interrupted," Remus just sent a patronus to my office, telling me you had turned yourself into a ten year old using anti-aging potion."

Sirius jumped to his feet, and muttered one word.

"Alan."
