Well, I've cut my hair, am getting a tattoo next week, and am getting ready to hang out with a friend that I haven't seen since she graduated from high school last year! I really can't wait to see her! She's like the older sister that I never had! But enough about me! Let's get back to the story! ^_^
(Story)
Sirius kept his promise to Harry and slept in that morning; and he had to admit that it felt wonderful! He couldn't remember the last time that he'd slept until 9:47 a.m.! He was equally pleased when Harry was still asleep, recovering from his cold. By the time that Sirius turned out the horses and finished his errands in town, Harry had finally woken up. And, just like he promised, Harry kept himself occupied in the house, cuddling up on the couch with his golden lab and watching t.v.
Sirius then found tome to sneak back to his bedroom and work on the wolfsbane. Sirius took down the small chest from the shelf above his desk and began emptying it. From the chest, he brought out some old newspaper clipping form the Daily Prophet about the death of Lily and James. He'd also kept the clips about his custody of Harry, and there was one more slip that he'd treasured over the years. Dumbledore had managed to capture Voldemort's mangled soul and banish it to the realm of the dead through the Veil in the Ministry. Sirius always found comfort through this clip because it told him that Harry was safe at last…that he would never have to face that monster again when he finally returned to the Wizarding world.
Sirius then finished the wolfsbane potion and carefully wrapped the glass tubes in paper towels to absorb the smoke and placed them in a disposable lunchbag. The next day, when the potion had brewed and mixed thoroughly, Sirius grabbed the bag from his desk and started heading out towards the door. On the way out, he made sure that he checked on Harry.
"All right Harry, I'm off to Remus's for a while. You've got your phone on you, right?" Sirius asked. Harry smiled back and proudly showed Sirius his red Samsung Intensity. Sirius smiled back and ruffled the boy's hair.
"Good! I'll be back later on tonight, and call me if anything happens." Sirius said.
"I will Dad, I promise. Tell Remus I say 'hi'!" Harry playfully pleaded.
"I promise kiddo! I love you." Sirius said as he planted a small kiss on the boy's head.
"Love you too, Dad!" Harry said as he turned his attention back to the t.v.
Sirius secured the door behind him and bade sure that the bag of wolfsbane was safely placed in the sidebag of his bike. He revved the engine and hurried off towards Remus's house, hoping that he would make it over there before dark and the moon was out.
