Going Home Early

They had been at the Cabin for two days, Sirius and Remus had ventured to the nearest market for food. Which now lay in the cupboard, fully stocked and preserved thankfully. They'd spoken at great lengths about everything Dumbledore had done, and how Harry could be adapting to having all his magic back. Remus had cooked all the meals, after all Sirius couldn't even make toast without burning it. They spent most of their time outside enjoying the sun. Something they weren't able to get in the UK at least not as powerful as it was here.

Surprisingly they also remised about the past, something they hadn't done before. It was very cathartic, it made them realise James and Lily weren't gone. They would be alive in their memories for as long as they were alive.

Sirius had also realised a way to get back at Dumbledore without breaking his oath. After all pranking someone wasn't attacking them, the old fool would rue the day he'd touched Harry. He had picked the wrong person to mess with, and when he lay dying; Sirius would make that clear to the bastard. He would die, if Sirius had anything to do with it…its just how long it took. He'd convince Snape and Harry it was deserved, he couldn't care about it making him a criminal. In the eyes of the law he had been a criminal anyway, even if he'd been proven innocent. He'd never be found guilty of it, they wouldn't even suspect him.

As of right now, Remus and Sirius were outside the cabin speaking once more. Moving on to yet another topic, one they hadn't discussed yet.

"I feel really bad Remus, everything that happened to Harry was my fault." said Sirius, as he lounged on a sun bed, on the beach, which was lapping up waves in the Caribbean Sea. As the sun blazed on down before them, they were dressed in trunks, a spell keeping them safe from being burnt. It was almost too hot to bear; they weren't used to this extremely hot weather. Despite it, they really liked getting away, from the war, from the gloom of Grimmauld Place and being ordered around, and for Remus the missions. He liked helping others, but visiting werewolf colonies wasn't what he liked to do. He'd succeeded in making them realize it best not join Voldemort, since he was just as fearful as everyone else. They however, refused to join the order, but them not joining Voldemort was considered the greater win. After Umbridge's laws Remus wasn't surprised to say the least, she'd made it ten times harder for them.

"Sirius you have to stop that." said Remus, he knew Harry wouldn't like it; he backed away from emotional displays. He could imagine Harry would see it as being weak, since he didn't like showing emotions.

"But it is my fault." said Sirius sounding choked up.

"Yes, maybe it is, partly. Harry will just tell you to leave Sirius; he does not like big shows of affection. He seems to want only to look forward to the future, without the pity me party. Harry has done what needed done, he has no regrets and he doesn't expect anyone else to either. Start anything like this then he would wash his hands of you, do you understand?" said Remus seriously leaning over meeting Sirius' eyes.

"I suppose so." sighed Sirius, it would be difficult not to apologise.

"Harry just wants to look forward to the future, he knows the past cannot be changed," said Remus. Even if it could be, he doubted Harry would want to; his past had shaped him into the man he was today.

"That's just stupid, we have time turners." said Sirius, amused.

"Only by the hour, we'd be twisting that thing forever, if we could even manage to get our hands on one." said Remus.

"Yeah," said Sirius "I know."

"Do you hear that?" asked Remus cocking his head to the side, before his amber eyes zoned in on the owl flapping its wings in the distance, hooting loudly. "Do you think that's flown all the way from the UK?"

"Probably," said Remus wide eyed, "Do we have anything we could give it?"

"Maybe, go have a look. It is a beautiful bird." said Sirius as Remus got up.

"Hello beautiful," said Sirius once it had swooped down, landing on Remus' seat, imperiously sticking its leg out. "You are just like your owner." which ever one it was, Snape or Harry. He removed the package; the owl hooted tiredly, Hedwig was just about to rest for a while before Remus came back, with a strip of cold bacon and sausage links in one hand. In the other there was a large cup filled with cold tap water.

He placed it down and let the owl help itself, picking the package from Sirius' hands. Breaking the seal and opening it, reading it before passing it to Sirius.

Lupin,

Harry felt magic wrap around him three days ago. I assume it was the oath being put into affect. I am pleased with this, Harry has been working hard and he deserves a holiday. I wish to spend some time with him away from everything. Since Harry cannot yet use any of his properties or money, without Dumbledore finding out, hopefully you will be willing to let Harry use the cabin.

We will not be any more than two days, I cannot stay away to long, and I cannot bring suspicion upon myself from either Dumbledore or the Dark Lord. Hogwarts is starting up in a week, so I have to get everything done within that timeframe. The tin is a Portkey; Harry would like his owl, Hedwig back in one piece. So ensure it's on you when the Portkey activates.

We will see you then.

Snape.

Portkey activation is Wolfsbane.

"He can use it," said Sirius, he'd do anything for Harry. "I can see he's not lost his sense of humour."

"Well it's a good job we didn't unpack." said Remus.

"We didn't have anything TO unpack." said Sirius. "I'm finally going to meet Harry." he felt many emotions as it sunk in. Nervous, apprehensive, happiness, delight and of course he was scared. He wasn't sure what on earth was going to happen when they met, he so badly wanted things to go well. His mind had dwelled on the state Harry had been living in. It reminded him of Remus, he'd been saddened and hurt to see the conditions Remus had lived in. It was ten times worse knowing his godson had it ten times worse. At least Remus had been able to get work for short times, Harry…well Harry hadn't had a choice but take the path he had. Eleven years old, he couldn't get a job, he was too young, and he still had to make money which left his options severely limited. Limited actually to one single choice and he'd taken it. He had so many years to make up for, presents; he had to get him lots of presents.

"Let's get going," said Remus, "Stay there Hedwig."

Both Wizards took off, once they were in the cabin, the few items they'd unpacked were quickly re-packed and trunks shrunk. The pensive after being used, had been put back in the trunk to keep it safe. Taking a secondary look around, before they were satisfied and went back out to join Hedwig. Remus whistled, holding out his arm. The owl joined him gratefully, it as if he knew he wasn't going to have to fly all the way home.

"Ready?" said Remus, making sure the owl was on his shoulder properly. "Then let's go. Wolfsbane." and with that both of them were whisked away from the sandy beach, and into Harry's flat.

OOO soon Sirius will meet Harry Potter again...just how will it go? can Sirius keep his emotions to himself? lets find out R&R PLEASE!
