Later that evening, the sun was low in the sky and everything was surprisingly peaceful. Without so much as a bird chirping, all was quiet. The Weasley twins were up in their bedroom doing who-knows-what, and Percy was in his room reading, while everyone else was sitting in the living room. Harry sat on the floor with Ron, while Ginny and Hermione sat on the couch behind them. Sirius and Remus sat together on the loveseat, while Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley were in separate chairs. No one spoke as they took in the comfort of the day.

The sun had nearly set when Sirius spoke up. "Come on Harry, it's time to go see your new home." A grin broke out on Sirius' face as he stood up along with Remus, who went to get Harry's things. Reaching down, Sirius held out his hand, which Harry took and was hauled to his feet.

Turning around, Harry spoke out. "Ron, Hermione, Ginny, I'll send Hedwig over tomorrow with a letter. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, thank you so much for letting me stay here for the past few weeks. Say good-bye to the twins and Percy for me, will you?"

"We will Harry, dear." Mrs. Weasley said as she stood up to give Harry a quick hug. "And Sirius, you'll do well to remember that Harry is still a boy, and not an adult."

A shocked and slightly angered look crossed Sirius' face. "I would not be so stupid as to forget that my pup is still young, Molly."

"See ya 'arry," Ron said as he clasped his friend on the back.

"Good-bye Harry, talk to you soon," Hermione said with a smile as she hugged Harry briefly.

With one last wave to everyone, Remus appeared with Hedwig and Harry's trunk. "Shall we be off?" Harry grabbed onto Sirius' hand, and they Disapparated with a loud crack. The feeling of being shoved through a tight tube caused Harry's stomach to lurch as he landed roughly on a field of grass. Sirius chuckled from beside him.

"You'll get used to Apparation eventually," his Godfather said with amusement. Another loud crack signified that Remus had just Apparated behind them. "Well, what do you think?"

Harry lifted his eyes so that he could look at the building in front of them; he nearly fell over from shock. A giant manor built from stone, brick, and wood stood in front of them. Large windows lined the walls and an elegant wooden door was in the dead center of the structure. Several chimneys protruded from the slanted roof, and smoke billowed from them. A stone pathway led to the front concrete steps, and fields of grass surrounded the property. For several miles, Harry could see a large black fence encased the entire property and a section of woods that probably had the purpose of being a place for Remus to go during his transformations. "What do I think? I can't really think right now. It's… It's amazing!" A huge grin broke out on Harry's face as he looked up at his Godfather.

"Glad you like it pup," Sirius smirked as he and Remus guided Harry into the mansion. Harry inhaled as he took in the inside of the mansion. Magic practically filled the air as enchanted objects lined the walls and rooms. Portraits of the Marauders, Harry, and the Potters were scattered around the house, all the members waving at the three as they walked inside each room. The floors were carpet in the living area and the bed rooms, but everywhere else was a beautiful stone tile. All the cupboards and shelves were either black or silver, and everything matched everything perfectly.

"Who did the decorating?" Harry said as he took in the enchanted torches that illuminated the hallway, and the beautiful crystal chandeliers that hung from the ceilings.

Remus chuckled. "I did most of the decorating, as I've got more of a knack for it that Padfoot here."

"You've got more than just a knack for it," Harry said, completely awed by the beautiful home. "I can't believe I get to live here, and with the two of you!"

An arm was draped over Harry's shoulders, and he looked up into the eyes of his Godfather. "Come see your new room pup."

Remus led the way, while Sirius walked beside Harry all the way up a flight two flights of stairs that stopped just in front of a door. Harry quirked an eyebrow as he saw his name written on the wooden door. Remus opened the door and they all stepped inside. Harry's jaw dropped as he took in his room, if you could even call it a room.

The area was larger than the dorm room that all the third year guys had shared at Hogwarts. There was a huge red corner couch, a large wooden desk, several dark mahogany book shelves that matched the desk, and a king sized four poster bed. Lining one of the shelves were pictures of his friends, Sirius and Remus, and himself. Harry's favorite picture was a 2' by 4' picture of his parents that hung on the wall over his bed. Hanging from the ceiling was a golden chandelier, and several Gryffindor coat of arms banners. There was a mahogany wardrobe that stood in the far corner of the room, and he could tell that it was enchanted to hold more than it looked like. Along the far wall was a huge window, and to his great joy, there were no bars on it. What surprised Harry was that there were three other doors within the room. One was an attached bathroom, but the other two… he didn't know. "What are those two rooms?"

Remus walked over with a huge grin and opened both doors. Inside each were a bed, a wardrobe, and a three-seated couch. "These, are for Ron and Hermione when they come to visit."

Harry's jaw dropped. "I'm… I'm allowed to have my friends over?"

A frown appeared on Sirius' face. "Of course, Prongslet. Why would you think otherwise?"

"The Dursleys," was all Harry said as he took in his room once again. "You didn't need to do all this for me though. I love it, but I don't deserve anything this extravaga-"

Sirius cut Harry off. "You, Harry, deserve this more than any kid I know. It was no trouble to set this all up for you, and we can change anything with a flick of the wand if you want. Never say you don't deserve something we do for you, we love you Harry and want you to catch up on all the love you missed as a child."

A smile lit up Harry's face as his eyes filled with tears. "Thank you Sirius, and you too Remus." I can't say that I love you but I know deep down that I will be able to say so soon, to both you and Remus.

"It was not a problem Harry. We'll leave you to get settled in for a little bit while we go see that dinner will be ready within the hour," Remus said as he grabbed Sirius hand before the two of them left the room.

Sitting on his bed, Harry could only murmur "wow" as he took in his new bedroom. I can't believe this is going to be my new home.
