Hey thank you all for the reviews once again. I seriously appreciate it! Okay well there is something you guys should know. Based on popular demand, Harry has a younger sister. Her name is Arielle. She is four years old. I know what yall are thinking why didn't you have her in the last chapter? Well she didn't exist until now. Some very good friends of mine on here enticed me to introduce her. I will mention her in the last chapter if you go back and see. The reason she is four is because I want her going to Hogwarts when Harry is there. She and Sirius get on really well and this does not suit Harry at times. Overall, he is the protective, loving big brother but…you are just gona have to read to find out the rest. Sorry. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter and my latest revelation! Talk 2 ya!
As planned the next day Sirius and Harry were setting off for Hogsmeade once breakfast was over. It was a nice summer's day. The sky was ocean blue and there was not a cloud to be seen in the sky. It was 8:30 so James and Remus had already left for work. Lily and Sirius were outside having breakfast when Harry arrived down in his black denim three quarter length shorts and his English quiddtich jersey. He ran over to the picnic table and jumped up on the bench next to Lily sitting on his knees.
"Good morning darling." Lily greeted with a smile for her son. "How are you?" she asked kissing him on the head.
"Fine. Hey Sirius!" Harry shouted to his distracted godfather who had his head buried in the daily prophet. He looked up and saw Harry grinning across the table from him.
"Ya alright mate?" Sirius asked as he winked and dived back down into the paper again.
"Yup. When are we going to Hogsmeade?" Harry asked taking a bite of the slice of buttered toast Lily handed to him.
"Oh Harry leave Sirius finish his coffee in peace." Lily said placidly.
Sirius who had finished reading the article closed the paper, folded it in half and placed it on the bench next to him. "Ah leave him alone Lils love will ya." Sirius said winking and smiling at Harry as he took another slug from his coffee.
"Where's your sister Harry?" Lily asked.
"I dunfo. I dink dat she's….."
"Harry! Don't speak with your mouthful please! How many times have we told you that?"
Harry gulped as he swallowed his toast and smiled timidly at his mother before saying;
"Sorry mom. She is still in bed, I think." Harry said to an angered Lily and a sniggering Sirius who had taken refuge behind his broadsheet newspaper again for fear that Lily would see him smirking.
"Okay well I'm going for a shower anyway so Ill just check on her on the way up."
Harry nodded as Lily gathered her cup and plate together to bring in to the washing machine. As she was getting up she could see Sirius concealing himself behind the paper. She grabbed the top of it, and tore it down to reveal Sirius's bemused face.
"Sirius?" Lily called cynically.
"Yes Lily love?" Sirius replied chirpily.
"Grow up ya?" With that she removed herself from present company and strolled towards the house with plate and cup in one hand. As she opened the door to enter, Sirius and Harry could not restrain themselves any longer and suppressed the laughter they were hiding. Lily looked back and rolled her eyes. Harry had his head resting on his on the table and laughing uncontrollably while Sirius was laughing behind the paper. Just then, Arielle ran into the back of Lily's legs. Lily almost fell over but she had the sense to catch the door handle in order to stabilise herself. She turned around to discover that the sudden jerk she received was her four year old daughter who now was sitting on the floor clasping her hands over her mouth. Lily put down her ware on the counter just inside the door in order to pick her daughter up.
"Are you alright darling?" Lily asked compassionately.
Arielle nodded and muttered "sorry mom."
Lily smiled warmly at her and kissed her forehead as she massaged her back in circles while bringing her daughter closer to her. "Its ok sweetie. Are you sure that you are okay?"
Arielle nodded again. Lily then put her down on the ground when Sirius saw her.
"ARI!" Sirius came running over and Arielle started waving frantically. Once Sirius reached her he bent down and pulled her up in his arms. He kissed her on the cheek and said;
"How are you today Princess?"
Arielle was shy unlike Harry. She giggled as she buried her head in his shoulder and looked up saying;
"Okay."
"That's what I like to hear!" Sirius said smiling at her affectionately.
"Okay well I am going for a shower now Sirius so if I'm not down by the time you and Harry are leaving just let me know and I will come down okay?"
"Ya no problem Lils."
"Good. Arielle you be a good girl for Sirius okay?" Lily said looking at her firmly.
Arielle, who by now was sucking her thumb, nodded her head.
"Ah don't be so ridiculous Lils. Ari here is always the best little princess I know! Aren't ya darling?"
Arielle continued sucking her thumb, nodded her head and giggled. Sirius kissed her on the side of her head. Lily smiled at Sirius but he didn't notice.
"You have those two spoiled Sirius." Lily remarked while smiling fondly at him.
"Like you and James don't I'm sure! Besides how could you not spoil this little diamond here and as for Harry…" he looked over his shoulder to find Harry experimenting with his coffee……."well Harry is a chip off the old block! He's my partner in crime. Anyway you go and have your shower love and I shall take care of these two cubs."
"Okay. Thank you Sirius." Lily said as she left to go for her shower.
"So shall we go and see what your big brother is up to?" whispered Sirius.
"Ya." Arielle said meekly.
Sirius crept over to Harry with Arielle in his arms. Harry was still mixing various substances into Sirius coffee so he didn't notice anyone standing behind him. He set Arielle down a few feet away and crept behind Harry and grabbed him. He put his arms around Harry's waist and pulled him away from the table and spun him around in his arms. Arielle started laughing hysterically while Harry was shouting;
"NOOOOO! SIRIUS STOPPPPPPP! IM SORRRRYYYYYY!"
After a few minutes Sirius stopped and returned Harry to the ground again. Sirius was smiling mischievously while Harry was staring at him in annoyance. However he started laughing within a few seconds. Sirius ruffled his hair, picked him up and sat him back down at the table. He then lifted up Arielle and placed her in his lap at the table.
"So you thought that it would be funny to spike my coffee with stuff did ya mate?"
"Ya. You put chilli powder into my pumpkin juice last night. Just getting my own back."
"Ah in true marauder style." Sirius made himself a fresh cup of coffee while Harry was talking. He took a sip and said….."You will do very well at Hogwarts mate!" Sirius grinned and Harry half laughed.
"Do you want some toast Airs?" asked Harry sweetly.
"Um….ya please Harry." She said timidly.
"Show Harry Ill do it for ya." Said Sirius reaching out for a slice of toast and a square of butter. Harry handed the toast and the plate of butter to Sirius. After Sirius buttered it he asked her;
"So let me guess? You want some blackcurrant jam?"
"Ya please Padfoot." She said meekly.
"Hey hey am I good or am I good?" Sirius grinned at Harry who smacked himself on the forehead while Arielle just giggled. "I know what my little princess wants." He winked at her and she and Harry smiled.
"Here you go darling." Sirius said placing the plate of toast in front of her. It was cut into soldiers for her.
"So where are we going in Hogsmeade Sirius?" Harry asked disrupting Sirius from paying attention to Arielle. He was placing her next to him.
"Well that is up to you mate. Where do you want to go?"
"Everywhere!" Harry exclaimed grinning at his godfather.
Sirius let a bark like laugh and said;
"As much as I wish that were possible Prongslet, it can't be done in a single day."
"Ya I know. Can we go to Zonkos first?"
"Zonkos? You sure you want to go there mate?"
"Ya why? You have a day off don't ya Padfoot?"
"Actually I have a week off. Do you want some pumpkin juice darling?"
"Ya." Arielle said quietly.
"Okay no problem love." Sirius said smiling.
Sirius. Sirius…. Sirius!" Harry droned at his godfather.
"Sorry mate." Sirius said pouring Arielle her pumpkin juice.
"What were you saying?" Sirius asked placing the jug down in the centre of the table.
"Why don't you want to go to Zonkos? Is it coz you work there?"
"Well no I don't mind going there but…..it's a joke shop."
"And……your point is?"
"What do you need in there?"
"Well I wont know until I go will I?"
Sirius half laughed and admitted…"No I suppose not."
"So can we go to Zonkos first then?"
"Ya if you want." Sirius said.
"Cool. Can we go to the three broomsticks?"
Sirius laughed a little at this. "You really are like your father mate!"
"What do you mean?"
"You are seven and you want to go to a pub! Do you want your mother to hex me?"
Arielle laughed at this and Sirius smiled fondly at her.
"I meant for lunch. And the idea of you being hexed is kind of funny. Isn't it Airs?"
Arielle nodded while Harry laughed. Sirius pushed him a little from across the table.
"We are not going to a pub for lunch Harry. We can go to Leos, Scoozis or Ruby's."
"Fine Padfoot. Whatever you say." Harry said as he drained his glass of juice.
A few minutes later Lily came out of the house fully dressed.
"Hey Lils!" Sirius said waving a little at her.
Harry turned around and smiled while Arielle shouted;
"Mommy Mommy!"
"Hey guys. Oh come here my darling." Lily said as she went over and picked her daughter up in her arms. Did you have a nice breakfast Sweetheart?" Lily asked.
"Ya. Padfoot made toast and he put all the nice stuff on it too mommy!"
Sirius smiled warmly at them and Lily laughed a little and said;
"Oh well that's great honey. Are you guys going now so?"
"Ya if Prongslet here is ready?"
"Ya I am Padfoot."
"Good." Sirius said taping the table." Let's go kid!"
Sirius and Harry rose from the table and Arielle called out after him.
"Padfoot do you have to go?"
Lily placed her on the ground so Sirius bent down to her level.
"Aww darling I am sorry but I promised your big brother that we would. We won't be late okay? Ill even bring you back something okay?"
"Ok."
"Come here." Said Sirius as he pulled her into a hug. After a few seconds he let her go and then Harry hugged her. "See you later Airs." He said smiling.
"Well be back later princess. I promise you that." Sirius kissed her on the head and said goodbye to Lily and he and Harry left.
Hope you guys enjoyed it! Let me know either way! Talk 2 ya!
