Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. I don't even own the title of the story. The only thing I really own is the plot.

Author Notes: Happy Belated Halloween! Sorry I didn't post sooner, but Halloween excitment and college, it's sometimes hard to get anything done. I'll apologize in advance because I probably won't post things quickly because of classes/work and I'm not quite sure where things are going. I have the end and bits of the middle figured out and perhaps the next two chapters, but that's about it. I hope you all had a wonderful All Hallow's Eve!

Time Warp

Chapter One

Serious Discussions

"You're not going." Harry said seriously.

"Yes I am." Sirius replied, just as seriously.

Sirius and Harry glared at each other in Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore had just informed them that Voldemort was on the move and Harry had to go get ready for the war. "You are not going with me Sirius." Harry said, crossing his arms and glaring at him.

"If you're going, then I'm going."

"I don't want you to go."

"And why not?"

"I don't want to bloody lose you again!"

"Oh, and like I can't say the same thing about you!"

Sirius and Harry glared at each other from there seats in front of Dumbledore's desk. Suddenly Harry turned to Albus. "Tell him he can't come."

"You can't bring him into this!" Sirius shouted.

"I can and I will. You remember the last time you came to help me! You fell behind the veil and I never got to see you again…until now! And I don't want to lose you again."

Sirius rolled his eyes but before he could say anything, Dumbledore spoke up. "Would you like my opinion about this?"

"Yes." Harry shouted.

"No." Sirius shouted, just as loud.

"I think that Sirius should make his own choice." Dumbledore said calmly.

"YES!!! YOU GO PROFESSOR!" Sirius shouted as he jumped from his chair.

"NO, NO, NO PROFESSOR!!! You were supposed to tell him he couldn't come!" Harry shouted as he jumped up from his chair.

"Well Harry, it is his life, so I think that he should be able to choose what he wants to do with it." Dumbledore said soothingly to Harry.

Harry turned and looked at the smug Sirius. "It's not fair. I don't get a choice in the matter of me fighting, so I should at least get a choice in the matter of Sirius fighting."
Sirius' smug look disappeared. "I'm sorry Harry, but if you're risking your life then I'm not going to sit by idly and do nothing while you could be killed!" Sirius walked over and hugged Harry. "I love you, so I'm going to come to make sure you're alright."

Harry buried his head in Sirius shirt and wrapped his arms around Sirius' waist. "I love you too…that's why I don't want you to come."

Sirius laid his head on top of Harry's. "I'm truly sorry, but it's just not me to let you go off and fight without me."

Harry smiled and looked up at him. "I know…I was just hoping, you know?"

"I know." Sirius said with a nod and kissed him. When he pulled away, he smirked. "Besides it will be good to have another Marauder on your side…it'll be two against one now."

Harry smiled and turned to Dumbledore. "So when do we leave?"

"Within the week."

Later that night: Gryffindor Tower, Godric's Suite

Harry sat on his bed in their dorm room. Since the two wizards had returned to Hogwarts, they have been staying in the Godric's Suite. It was a special dorm within the Gryffindor Tower that could be used at the Headmaster's command. It had its own entrance near the entrance to the common room. The suite consisted of a mini-common room with a fire place, multiple chairs and a sofa, a coffee table and bookshelves. The only other door, besides the entrance, lead to the bedroom. The bedroom looked like a dorm room. There were two beds, two closets, two dressers and everything that came with a comfortable dorm room. There was another door that lead to a large bathroom.

When Dumbledore had suggested Godric's Suite, he had asked what they wanted. The suite could become large or small; to accommodate whom ever needed it. They declined the two bedrooms. They did take up the two beds, though they ever rarely slept apart.

Harry looked at his quilt. It was the one his mother made him for Christmas. It was different shades of green ranging from pale to emerald cut into many different shapes. He traced the designs. He wished that Sirius didn't have to go with him. He wished that Sirius would do this one thing for him and stay behind. Be safe…for him. He fisted the blanket as tears threatened to spill. Why did he have to be brave? Couldn't he just be selfish and stay? Couldn't he just worry about himself and not go?
"What are you thinking about?" a voice asked. Harry looked up. There he stood, his charcoal hair hanging below his shoulders, his handsome face concerned. He was wearing blue boxers and a white t-shirt.

"Nothing." He muttered. Sirius rolled his icy blue eyes and sat next to Harry on his bed.

"I don't think it's nothing." Sirius placed his hand on the side of his face and softly petted his cheek with his thumb. "Come on sweetheart; tell me what's making you sad."

Harry bit his lip and looked away from his eyes. "I don't want to lose you again."

Sirius snorted. "You're still on that?"
"Yes!" Harry snapped and looked directly into his eyes. "I just got you back, damnit! I don't want to lose you…again! You know how many times I have lost you? It doesn't get easier you know!" Harry bit his lip hard to keep himself from crying. 'Stupid git…' he thought.

Sirius looked sad. "Harry…how many times have I lost you? Hmm?" Harry looked away. "I've lost you just as much as you've lost me. Look at me." Slowly, emerald green eyes looked into bright blue. "That's better." He smiled softly. "I love you. That's why I'm not leaving you…even for an instant. I will be there for you, like you'll be there for me. I'm a selfish bastard."

Harry looked startled. "You're not selfish."

"Yes I am." Sirius replied with a grin. He leaned closer till he was a breath away. "I'm selfish because I don't want you to go. I don't want to have you leave me even for a moment…I don't like to share, even if it's for a good cause."

It took a moment for what Sirius' said to sink in. Harry gave a small smile. "I suppose I'm a bit selfish too then."

"Just a bit?" Sirius asked in a teasing tone.

Harry swatted him lightly on the arm. "Arse."

"Oh, I'm wounded." Sirius said dramatically and collapsed on the bed, backward, laying his head next to Harry's crossed legs and placing his arm over his head. "The agony."

Harry's smile grew as he looked down at Sirius. He picked up strands of his hair and started to let them fall through his fingers. "You're not injured you big baby."

Sirius peaked up at him. "You aren't even going to offer to kiss it better?"

Harry smirked and moved so he could lie down on his stomach. He leaned over Sirius, who by now moved his arm, and hovered an inch above his lips. "You have already told me that you are heading off to war, so you must toughen up."

"But won't you always be there to save me and kiss me better?" Sirius asked with a pout.

Harry got a serious look on his face. "That's not even funny." He rolled over and crossed his arms over his chest.

Sirius himself rolled onto his stomach and crawled over towards Harry. He swung his leg over his waist so he was straddling the younger boy. "I'm sorry."

"It wasn't funny Sirius." Harry said as he glared up at him.

"I know. I'm sorry. If it was any other time, you would've laughed and said of course."

Harry soften a little and moved his arms so they were clasped above Sirius' neck. "I know." Harry smiled and tugged him down till he was close enough to kiss. "But either way, my answers the same. I won't let anything happen to you."

"Uh huh, I know. The same goes for you lovely. I will not allow anyone to hurt you." Sirius said coolly.

"Good." Harry said simply and kissed him.

When they pulled apart, they stared at each other till Sirius gave a slight smirk and asked sort of breathlessly, "So, does this mean you'll let me come with you to war?"

"Do I really have a choice?"

"Hmm…nope."

"Right then." Harry started to shove at Sirius' chest.

He seemed slightly annoyed. "What?"

Harry looked at him. "If we both are going to be part of this war, we need to go to the meetings. Which one happens to be very soon. So, no time for playing."

Sirius rolled off and allowed Harry to get up. "So, if I told you I wasn't going, you would've let me continued on with this?"

"Yes, I would have." Harry smirked at him. "This is what comes when we have to be adults."

Sirius sulked as he got up and stood next to Harry. "I hate being an adult."

"I know. Me too." With that, they headed out the room and towards Dumbledore office to meet at Grimmauld Place.
