A/N: Wow, I'm surprised that some of you guessed right about what Harry wants to see Dumbledore about, but I'm not telling you who was right and what they were right about, because then that would take the fun out of writing it, wouldn't it? Hehe. Enjoy this chapter, and sorry for the wait. I really don't feel like writing at home, so I do this at work when I'm bored.

Chapter Five
Sirius
~~**~~
Harry ate his ice cream in silence, almost finished now, staring down at his lap. He wasn't surprised that people were catching on so quickly, he probably acted different than their Harry, after all. He had seen so much and been through so much more than they could only imagine. He was older, wiser, though he only looked fifteen, he felt much older.
"Are you sure?" Draco asked, ignoring the fact that Harry almost slipped on his name and called him Malfoy.
Harry mutely nodded. "Of course... I just... didn't get much sleep last night, that's all."
He knew he was a terrible liar, but Draco seemed to buy it. It was a reasonable excuse after all. He licked at his ice cream cone, meanwhile his arm wrapping around Harry's waist.
"I'm glad, cause you know I worry," Draco said, and Harry couldn't help but smile. This Draco was so unlike the one he was used to, and he already liked him. Maybe things in this reality wouldn't be so bad after all.
"I know," Harry nodded. "But there's no reason for you to worry."
"You always say that, and that just makes me worry more," Draco spoke softly, making Harry smile more.
"There's the Harry I love," Draco said quietly, making him blush. "You should smile more often."
Harry blinked, as if just realizing what he said. Did Draco just say he loved him?
He didn't get too think much more, because Draco placed a kiss on his lips. Despite being with Draco for only an hour or so, he was beginning to enjoy the kisses more and more. Draco was gentle, kind, and his kisses soft, making Harry wonder what kissing the Draco back home would of been like.
He wrapped his arms around Draco's neck, having finished his ice cream, and moaned softly into the kiss, unable to help himself. In this reality, he was loved, even if it was by Malfoy, he was stuck here, and maybe...just maybe...
Starting to feel for the other just the same.
Draco smiled into the kiss and wrapped his other arm around Harry's waist as well, holding him closer to his chest. The kiss lasted for what felt like forever, but neither minded, and it was scary for Harry because he was enjoying it quicker than he should have. Did that mean he was gay? Bi, perhaps? He did have that crush on Cho Chang last year...
They pulled away when the need for air became known to both of them, and they both panted softly, Draco's head resting against Harry's. "Shall we go? Your parents are probably waiting for you."
Harry nodded. It felt strange to hear someone say 'your parents', not combined with the phrase 'you look like' or something similar. They were alive in this reality.
"Let's go then," Draco said and stood up, offering Harry his hand. He reached out his own and Draco pulled him up gently, the two walking back towards where they left the Potters.
Surprisingly, Harry felt quite happy right now.

Lily was the first to catch the sight of Draco and Harry returning and smiled. Harry looked much happier than when he left, so whatever Draco did to make him feel better worked. She knew he was the key whenever her son was feeling down.
"Did you have fun, you two?" Lily asked as they walked over. Both boys nodded. "Well, that's good. But we don't want to be late, Harry. Sirius will be over soon."
At the mention of his godfather, Harry's face seem to sadden slightly, surprising Lily, but he nodded.
"Alright, then let's go." Draco gave him a tight hug, whispering something into his ear, but Lily couldn't tell what it was. He walked off, giving them all a wave before doing so.
"He's not like his family, is he Harry?" Lily asked, and Harry shook his head.
"No. He's really different."
"Perhaps that's a good thing, then," Lily smiled. ''Like Sirius showed us, you don't have to follow in your family's footsteps."
Harry smiled. Perhaps she was right.

"Harry!"
A voice called to him from downstairs. His father. He gulped. Sirius was coming, along with a girl he'd never met before. Amelia was it? That's what they said her name was.
At least Sirius was happy in this reality, and not hiding in Grimmauld Place.
He walked downstairs, hearing laughter and cheerful voices. Though, once he caught sight of his godfather's grinning face, he took for running towards the man, blinking back tears.
Sirius laughed and hugged him tight. He loved his godchild, that much was for sure. Remus was Kyle's godfather, but Harry didn't see him anywhere, and wondered where their werewolf friend was. But everyone seemed to be happy, so he knew he had to be alive and well somewhere, just not able to come today.
"Sirius!"
The man chuckled and placed Harry back down. "Well, you're awfully excited, Prongslet."
"This is the happiest I've seen him all day," Lily said with a smile. "He seems to be having an off day today."
"Oh really?" Sirius raised an eyebrow. "Well, I'll be sure to fix that."
Harry laughed.
A/N: I'll introduce Amelia the beginning of next chapter. She is my OC, so no stealing. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. And again, sorry for the wait.
