A/N this is taking place in November 2007.
It had been a long day for newly recruited Head Auror Harry Potter. If he had known the amount of paperwork involved with being Head Auror, he'd have declined the promotion. As it was he was working past suppertime yet again and would be facing a very angry pregnant Ginny when he got home.
He sighed and was just about to start filing another case when Ron walked in. "Hey, Harry," he said, "how the paperwork going?"
"That's Head Auror Potter," replied Harry. He looked up and noticed it was Ron. "Just kidding," he said and smiled at his friend.
"So, how's it going?" asked Ron again.
"You try it sometime," muttered Harry.
"Ginny isn't going to be very happy with you," said Ron. "Being late again and all. There are two boys running around like crazy at your place."
"I know," sighed Harry, "but I have to get this report filed."
"But you're the Head," said Ron, "surely you can set your own hours."
Harry smirked. "You think so?" he asked. "I still have to report to Kingsley who's in charge of wizarding England."
"Oh, well, I'm going home," said Ron. "Here's something that'll help you." Ron reached into his pocket and tossed a small package to Harry who quickly caught it.
"Ron," Harry said, whilst shaking his head. "I think Remus corrupted you more than he intended."
"Oi!" cried Ron. "Chocolate helps!" And he turned and left. "See you tomorrow!" he called over his shoulder.
Harry shook his head while he watched his friend leave. Once Ron was gone, he looked at the Chocolate Frog that Ron had tossed him. It wouldn't hurt to eat it before he continued to work on his paperwork.
Harry opened the Frog and quickly grabbed it before it could hop away. He slowly turned the card over and when he saw you it was, his jaw dropped oven and the half chewed Frog fell out onto the file. He would have to redo it, but he didn't care. He was staring at the card in shock.
Sirius Orion Black
15 December, 1959 - 18 June, 1996
Known for twelve years as the person who betrayed James and Lily Potter, in reality Sirius Black was framed by the Death Eater Peter Pettigrew, but this was unknown for several years. He became known as the first person from escape from Azkaban in order to protect his godson Harry Potter. He also was a member of both Orders of the Phoenix. After escaping Azkaban he spent a year-and-a-half on the run and the next year in hiding. In June, Harry Potter, along with five others, went to the Ministry because Harry though his godfather was a prisoner there, which was not true. When Black found out where his godson, he and several other Order members went to the Ministry. There a battle was fought in the Department of Mysteries where Black was killed while protecting Harry from several Death Eaters. He was and still is greatly missed by the remaining Order and Harry honored his godfather by giving his eldest son the middle name of Sirius.
By the time Harry was done reading the card, he was in tears. Hardly a day went by in which he did not think of Sirius and Remus. To find out that his godfather was on a card was a surprise indeed. He was still staring at the card with his mouth open when Kingsley walked in.
"Harry?" Kingsley asked. "What's wrong?"
"Sorry," said Harry, coming back to reality.
"What are you apologizing for?" asked Kingsley. "What are you staring at?"
"A Chocolate Frog card Ron gave me," said Harry. "It-It's Sirius'."
Kingsley's eyes opened wide. "Sirius has a card?" he asked in surprise.
"Yeah, I guess it's pretty new," said Harry in a quiet voice. His hand was trembling, causing the card to shake.
"May I?" asked Kingsley, extending his hand towards the card.
"What? Oh, yes," said Harry. "You were a friend of his also."
Kingsley took the card and quickly read it. "Harry, go home," he said quietly. "You've worked enough for today. This is something you need to share with Ginny."
"But the files . . ." began Harry.
"They can wait until the morning, although I would recommend wiping of the chocolate mess off of the top file," said a grinning Kingsley.
"Huh?" said Harry absentmindedly. He was still in shock from seeing Sirius' card. "Oh yeah, it fell out of my mouth."
"Clean that up and I'll see you tomorrow," said Kingsley. "Here's your card. How many of these have you found yet?"
"I don't know, two or three family ones," said Harry. "They keep finding new ones." He quickly syphioned off the chocolate and turned to leave. Kingsley placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you for letting me see it," he said quietly.
Harry nodded and slowly left his office. Once in the entrance hall, he Apparated back to his place.
"Harry James Potter!" were the first words he heard. As he regained is balance, he came face to face with a very pregnant and very angry Ginny. "No note and once again I am waiting for you to come home. You have no idea how much trouble two preschoolers are, especially when one of them is named after two pranksters!"
"Ginny, I can explain," began Harry.
"In the morning you can!" cried Ginny. "You're on the sofa tonight."
She turned on her heels and headed into the bedroom. "Ginny, wait!" called Harry. "You have to see this card!"
"What card?" asked Ginny.
"The Chocolate Frog card that Ron dropped by my office," said Harry. "Read it." And he handed it to her.
Ginny took the card and her eyes grew wide as she slowly read it. "Oh, Harry," she said quietly and embraced him in a hug. "I'm sorry, there is no sofa for you tonight."
Together the two lovers walked slowly into their bedroom. Harry was reading Sirius' card over again, knowing that this would be something he'd treasure forever.
