Harry woke up very tired the next morning. He couldn't believe that what he did last night took him so long and that it was so hard. He almost had Hermione come and help him fix everything, but he did it on his own and he was proud of himself. He was also pleased because he didn't have any nightmares. He grabbed his glasses and walked down the kitchen.
As Harry walked in he saw Sirius sitting in one of the chairs and leaning against the wall, "Morning Sirius."
Sirius didn't reply because he started laughing. His face was turning bright purple from lack of oxygen and then for a moment he didn't make any noise.
Harry got a cup of orange juice and waited for Sirius to stop and when he did Harry just stared at him, "Padfoot, what did you do?"
"What makes you think I did something?" Sirius asked, trying not to laugh.
"Well, I found you sitting quietly in here and then you started laughing," Harry said taking a drink.
"Well, lets just keep it between us," Sirius smiled.
Harry then jumped because there was a scream upstairs and he began to run to check out what happened but stopped and turned when as he heard Sirius laughing, "Padfoot what did you do to Moony?"
"Nothing," Sirius said between laughing fits.
Lupin came down and he looked pissed, "Padfoot what in bloody Merlin's pants were you thinking?"
"I wasn't thinking. I just thought that it would be fun," Sirius said falling to the floor laughing.
"What happened, Moony?" Harry asked, curious.
Lupin grabbed the front of Sirius' shirt and was only inches from him, "He did nothing, Harry, nothing. But if he does anything again be sure that the same thing will happen again, just like in seventh year. Do you understand, Sirius Black?"
Sirius' face turned ghost white, "I understand."
Lupin still looked pissed, "And why me? You have Prongslet right down the hall?"
Sirius smiled, "Prongs always said that it was wrong to prank your team mates."
Lupin got really close again, "Don't do it again or I swear Padfoot you wont see the light of day again!?"
Lupin glared at Sirius one last time before leaving.
Harry stood next to Sirius, "What did you do?"
Sirius smiled, "Nothing. Prongslet nothing."
Harry rolled his eyes, "We leave in an hour, Padfoot. Be ready."
"Don't leave me Prongslet, what if the werewolf comes back again?" Sirius asked.
"Then run for our life," Harry said as he walked away but stopped when he heard Lupin scream, "Padfoot!" Harry turned to see Sirius run the opposite direction Lupin was running, with his wand in one hand and a baseball bat in the other.
Within an hour Harry came back down stairs ready. He walked in to the main sitting room and he stopped dead in his tracks. Sirius was lying on the floor. He was beaten to death by Lupin, who was sitting on the couch, looking quite pleased, " Is he okay, Moony?"
Lupin smiled, "He should be. I didn't hit him that hard."
"At least tell me he deserved it." Harry said examining Sirius' limp body.
"Yeah he did." Lupin replied.
Sirius opened his eyes and screamed making Harry jump backwards in fear.
"What was that Padfoot?" Harry asked.
Sirius got up and smiled, " You're lucky I don't kill you. You let the angry werewolf almost kill your one and only godfather!"
"Lets go, Moony," Harry shook his head at Sirius. "Just change Padfoot, we have to get going."
Harry walked out and started to walked away, "Please follow me."
"Where are we going?" Lupin asked, clearly confused.
Harry smiled, "We are taking a little detour."
Lupin laughed, "I didn't think you were serious, Harry."
Harry smiled, "Well I'm not Sirius. I'm Harry!"
Lupin sighed, "James used to say that all the time. It got rather annoying."
"Are you implying that I'm annoying?" Harry asked, looking up at Lupin.
"No, I'm implying that you are just like James," Lupin replied, smiling.
The walk to the place was rather quiet except for Padfoot's barks while ever a girl walked past. The were only a couple feet from the place when the got stopped.
"Is this your dog?"
Harry and Lupin turned to see two girls petting at the drooling Padfoot.
"Yes," Harry smiled. "He's very vicious though. So be careful."
Padfoot barked and licked their hands.
"He doesn't look vicious," One of them said.
"This is very comforting. I mean my last boyfriend was a jerk. I just broke up with him. Thanks goodness I saw this cute dog," The other said.
"I bet that makes him very happy," Harry laughed. "He has a thing for girls and when I say thing I mean he has this huge thing for girls."
The girls smiled, "Are you taking him to the dog park right there?" One asked pointing behind Harry.
Padfoot growled and Harry could feel the hatred in his eyes, "Well he is a dog. Where else would he go?"
"Well, we should get going," Lupin said.
The girls smiled and walked away and Harry took his chance and ran away from Padfoot as fast as he could.
Harry only got mid way into the dog park when Padfoot tackled him to the ground, tearing and biting Harry, "Padfoot get off!" Harry shoved the huge dog off and got up. He then noticed all the people looking at him with an afraid expression, "Its okay. We were just playing. All is fine. I have a leash right here" Harry pulled the rope, yes it was an actual rope. "He's doesn't do regular ones well and I have to get something thick and strong." Harry joked.
Harry leaned down and tried to tie the rope but remember that Padfoot didn't have a collar, "Lupin, remind me to get Padfoot here a collar." Harry smiled at the dog and it barked right in his face. 'Well, I guess we can always play catch!" Harry drew out a ball from his jacket it and waved it in Padfoot's face, "Do you want the ball? Go get it, Padfoot!"
Harry threw the ball but Padfoot just laid there, glaring at Harry, "You are supposed to go and chase the ball."
"He isn't going to move, Harry," Lupin said, from behind Harry. "He'll just sit there. And if you keep trying, he'll just bark and make everyone look over here. Trust me, I know."
Harry looked up at him confused, "Have you tried this before?"
Lupin laughed, "No, your dad did. He didn't get very far. He pulled out a collar and that was it. James had some serious cuts that day and Sirius didn't go near him for a week."
Harry sighed and stood up and started to walk away, "Stupid dog."
"Harry I suggest you start running," Lupin said in a shaky voice.
Harry turned around and saw Padfoot growling at him and he was ready to pounce, so Harry turned and ran towards the words that were close by. It was only half way threw that Harry turned to look behind and saw Padfoot feet from him and Lupin only feet from he dog. As Harry turned he didn't see the tree branch and as he ran into that he fell backwards on his back, making Lupin fall laughing.
Harry rubbed his forehead to see Lupin dying laughing and Sirius on the ground holding his chest, he was laughing so hard.
"Shut up," Harry said.
Sirius looked over at him and regained control, "Harry James Potter, I can't possible tell you how angry I am at you! I cant believe that you took me there!"
"I told you I was taking you there!" Harry said.
"Padfoot, Harry did tell you. Last night remember? You can't get mad at him for telling the truth," Lupin said before Sirius could say anything.
"Since when does he do that?" Sirius asked still pissed.
Harry smiled, "Well, I do tell the truth a lot. Just no one ever believes me."
"Well warn us when you tell the truth," Sirius rolled his eyes.
"Sorry," Harry chuckled.
Harry and Lupin leaned against a tree as they let Sirius ramble on about how childish and stupid Harry was for bringing him to a dog park. Then after that he was saying that he couldn't believe that Harry threw a ball and even thought about buying a collar and a leash. Harry got tired so he and Lupin walked up to Sirius, grab both of his arms and apparated out of the woods.
When they landed back on the ground, Sirius stopped talking and was breathless, "My goodness! This house is everything to me."
Lupin even look dumbfounded, "Harry, you fixed it? It looks just like new."
Harry smiled, "Yeah, and it took me all night."
They walked inside and Sirius couldn't have looked happier, "Godrics Hollow. The coolest house ever."
"Its just like I remembered. I used to spend so much time here with James," Sirius said as he laid on one of the couches.
"I can here after I came back and got you," Harry said sitting against the couch Sirius was sitting on.
"There are so many memories in this house," Sirius closed his eyes.
"Only cause people can't not say stupid things and when someone says something not smart someone else has to say something else that doesn't even make sense and then no one understand anything that was said," Lupin said rolling his eyes.
"Like that?" Harry asked clearly confused from what Lupin said.
Lupin smiled, "Yes, exactly."
"One the funniest memories are with my motorcycle," Sirius smiled.
Harry got up, "Yeah lets not tell that one, mate."
"No," Lupin smiled. "Lets tell! And you want to know what Harry did!"
Harry ran out of the house as he heard Sirius growled and then he appeared his normal self, "You did what?"
"Not on purpose," Harry said, defending himself. "And it was a memory. It didn't really get hurt."
"So?" Sirius asked.
"Okay, I'll make you a deal," Harry said taking two steps for every step Sirius took.
"What will that be?" Sirius asked.
"Bye."
With that Harry apparated away.
