Hey everyone! I feel SOOOO bad it has been pretty long since I've updated, well, not really, but I use to update once or twice a day. Life has just been coming at me fast, I guess….

Also, tomorrow I'm going to Cape Cod (((never flown in a plane b4!)))) for five days and I am bringing my laptop….unfortunately I don't have an adapter so I can't update while I am there! BUT I will be able to type so when I get home you will have a VERY long chapter HOPEFULLY!

Special thanks to everyone who is reading my other fic also!

R&R

Harry and Lupin had both just returned fro the gym and Sirius was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a glass of pumpkin juice.

"Finally," Sirius stood up, no longer wearing his ducks, "I've been waiting, Harry go get a shower and get ready to leave."

. "Yes sir," Harry turned a round and ran up the stairs. He was excited, he'd never been to Diagon Alley before.

Ginny had just left the bathroom moments before and it still smelled of her perfume. Harry turned on the warm water and stripped off his clothes. He gasped as he stepped into the water, it still sung when it touched his arms. Once he had gotten use to the pain he scrubbed some shampoo into his forever messy, black hair.

He'd been in the shower for about five minutes when he began to feel weird. Not exactly a bad weird, just a weird weird. His head hurt a little and he felt kind of dizzy. He told himself that it was probably just the heat of the water and brushed it off. He stuck his head out of the shower curtain, making sure Neville wasn't there. He was still a little freaked out about the whole 'experience.'

Once he was out of the shower he wrapped what must be Ginny's pink frilly towel around his waist. He opened the door to make sure no adults were in the hallway and dashed to his room.

"Hey, Sirius," Harry walked onto the back deck where Remus, Sirius, and Molly were talking about Hogwarts. "I'm ready." He was wearing an olive green shirt that brought out his bright emerald eyes.

"Yes!" Sirius jumped up like a little kid at Christmas. He began running around the room chanting, "We're going to Diagon Alley, we're going to Diagon Alley!"

"Sirius" Harry laughed, "Sirius, c'mon, you look like an idiot."

Sirius stopped singing and frowned, "You don't like my singing?" he asked, half seriously

Harry ignored his question, "How are we going to get there?"

"Floo powder," Sirius answered, "a little pub in the middle of Diagon Alley. Supposed to have some of the best Butterbeer in the world….maybe we'll get some….here." Sirius handed him a handful of Floopowder.

Sirius went first, throwing the powder into the fire and saying loudly. "Diagon Alley." Then, a little hesitantly, Harry threw his in and repeated his god father. He felt his stomach drop down to his knees and he saw different fire places floating around him, then, just as quickly as it started, it ended. Suddenly he found himself standing next to Sirius in an overly decorated pub. There were neon candles floating everywhere and soft, calming music was playing in the background.

Sirius looked around the room and saw a woman about his age with bright pink hair. She was apologizing for spilling a huge glass of butterbeer all over one of the customers.

"TONKS!" Sirius ran and threw his arms around his confused friend, picking her up off the floor.

"Wha-what?" her head was smashed into his chest, "Who are you?" she pulled away and took a look at the man in front of her, "SIRIUS? Sirius? Wow!" she yelled hysterically.

"Tonks! I haven't seen you in ages." Sirius stepped back and got a good look at his friend.

"Where have you been?" Tonks hugged Sirius again, "I thought you were dead!"

"It's a really long story…. Maybe you could come down to the Burrow tonight. I'd have to ask Molly first, though." Sirius looked over at Harry, who was trying to get away from some man who was kissing his feet.

"Hey!" Sirius shot "Leave him alone."

The man got up onto two feet, bowed to Harry, and left the pub. Harry smiled a grateful smile and began to walk over to where Sirius was.

"Is that? Oh my gosh…." Tonks stuttered. "Is that James and Lily's son? I mean, I knew he was alive, but after they, well, you know, I thought he'd been in hiding with Albus. First you show up and now this…"

"Hello," Harry had just reached Tonks and Sirius. He reached out his hand, "How are you?"

"Polite." Tonks looked at Sirius. "More so than James, anyways." She turned back to Harry's still outreached hand and shook it. "Wow, you look just like your father, except your eyes, no, your eyes are definitely Lily's."

Harry smiled and looked at Sirius. When Tonks turned around to shut up her mad customer, Harry mouthed 'Am I supposed to know her?'

"Harry, this is Tonks, my friend from school." Sirius said when Tonks got back. "She was one of your parent's best friends, too."

"Nice to meet you." Harry jumped back suddenly a middle-aged man dressed in purple robes ran into him. "Harry Potter? Harry Potter? Harry POTTER! Oh my God! EVERYBODY IT'S HARRY POTTER, THE BOY-WHO-LIVED, HE HAS THE INFAMOUS SCAR AND EVERYTHING!"

Harry's eyes got huge as people began to jump up and a huge mob ran up to him, screaming questions and asking for his autograph.

"Come on!" Sirius grabbed Harry, "Let's get out of here! You coming, Tonks?"

"Sure, my shift's almost over anyways." She threw off her apron.

The three of them pushed their way out of the crowd. When they got out of the mob Harry's hair was sticking up everywhere and he was clutching his arm in pain.

"You okay?" Sirius nudged Harry.

"Oh, yeah, sure." Harry looked back at the pub and shuddered, "can we get out of here?"

"Yeah, come on Tonks… Harry's never been to Diagon Alley before and I haven't been and I haven't been here in years, where should we go first?"

"It depends," Tonks said, "Whatcha looking for?"

"Diamonds," Sirius smirked, "And the latest broom."

Harry's jaw dropped, "A broom? You're kidding!"

"Wait." Tonks interrupted, "Your saying he's never had a broom?"

Sirius's jaw clenched, "Once again, I said it was a long story... and yes, he has had a broom, it just wasn't a very good one."

Tonks could tell she'd hit a nerve, so she didn't say anything else. "Diamonds? Why do you need diamonds, Harry?"

Harry had an odd expression on his face, "Because I'm a cross dresser. I dress up as a girl at night and go screw people." Harry answered in an irritable tone.

Tonks was taken aback by Harry's sudden mood swing.

"Harry!" Sirius shot, grabbing Harry's arm and yanking him over to where he was standing.

Harry winced in pain, "Let go of me!"

Sirius let loosened his grip, but didn't let go. "What's wrong with you?" Sirius whispered, "You're acting really strange."

"I'm sorry." Harry pulled his arm away, "I just - I don't feel good, can we sit down for a minute?"

"Of course." Tonks answered for the bewildered Sirius.

They sat down at a little metal table outside of a pet store and Harry laid his head on the table, trying to hide himself from any passerby's that would want to talk to him, while Sirius and Tonks talked about the past.

After Tonks had the whole story and Harry had begun to feel better they decided to go get a broom. Tonks laughed until tears rolled down her face as she watched the Sirius and Harry run up and down the isles of brooms and jump up and down when they saw one they liked. After about an hour of this, Harry had chosen the latest and fastest model and they set off to go get some jewelry.

"You never did tell me why you needed the diamonds." Tonks informed Harry, "Unless you were serious about before." She added quickly.

"No, only I am Sirius!" Sirius laughed. (A/N - Sorry! I couldn't resist!)

"No, I wasn't serious," Harry ignored Sirius's comment, "They're for my friend."

"Your girlfriend!" Sirius mocked.

Harry was blushing a bright red now, "Awwww…" Tonks smiled, "you have a girlfriend. That's so sweet! You are a cutie though."

'She must be trying to kill me.' Harry thought and he was about to reply when they reached the jewelry shop.

"How much money do I have?" Harry asked Sirius, walking over to one of the glass cases.

"Don't even think about money." Sirius answered. "Just find what you want. I'll worry about paying." Sirius smiled, happy that for once he could buy Harry something that he wanted.

Harry looked at every piece of jewelry twice before he decided. He picked out a beautiful, pink diamond necklace. The diamonds were shaped in a heart and they sparkled brilliantly in the light.

Sirius and Tonks we're catching up on her past as they left the store. "Sirius. I don't feel so great again," Harry began. "I think I'm going to-" and with that Harry passed out.
