Thank you again for the reviews people! I am glad you enjoyed the last chapter! Just so you know this part of Harry's life is coming to an end shortly. Some of you at this point may be cracking opening the champagne bottles whilst the rest of you maybe doing your best to sustain any tears from falling! Either way I really cannot do a lot more with him at this period. My aim was to write a story whereby he had a relationship with his parents, Sirius and Remus growing up. Aka; a happy childhood. And I feel that I managed to portray that. So by chapter 30 he will hopefully be at Hogwarts. Anyway, let me know what ya think and Ill talk 2 ya later!

The morning after the engagement party everybody was in flying form. Lily, James, Sirius, Remus and Arielle were outside having breakfast when Harry arrived down in t-shirt and shorts with a pack of wizard trading cards in his hand. Later that day, they were all due over at Andromeda's for measurements for the wedding. Sirius behaviour last night was repeatedly reprimanded by Lily during breakfast and James was not on the best of terms with him either. However, he was a lot more civil than Lily was. When Harry saw Sirius sitting at the table, he sighed before he said good morning to the others. He then headed off in the direction of Ron's house. Lily called out to him so he turned around.

"Harry you haven't had your breakfast so come back here and have it right now please."

"I am not hungry mom." Harry replied lamely.

"This is not open for discussion. Just come back and have something small at least."

"There is something rotten at the table mom. It would just make me puke if I sat there." Harry said glaring at Sirius who had his head down. He looked up and stared at Harry sadly.

"Harry……take some toast to Rons at least sweetheart. You cannot go for long on an empty stomach."

Lily then offered him a slice of buttered toast with strawberry jam. Harry approached his mother and took the toast from her hand. He smiled a little at her before he set off for Rons. Sirius threw his napkin down on the table as he got up and ran after Harry.

"Harry!" Sirius shouted as he ran half way down the lane way after him. Harry stopped, turned around after a few seconds and saw a distraught Sirius standing before him.

"Harry." Sirius breathed hoarsely.

"What! What do you want Sirius?" Harry asked irritated.

"Harry mate we need to talk. About last night……."

"I think you said everything you needed to say last night Sirius."

"I didn't mean it Harry surely you know that."

"Well I don't know Sirius. So tell me what I should know ya?"

Sirius looked at his godson sadly before crouching down on the ground. He sat on his haunches as he started grinding some gravel between his fingers. Harry stood there with his arms folded. He had eaten the slice of toast by now and shoved the cards into his pocket. Sirius looked up at Harry a few minutes later as he said…….

"The day you were born was the happiest day of my life. You were the tiniest thing I ever saw. James handed you over to me….you were crying so hard that Lily thought you had a broken rib or something. Anyway….when James handed you to me…..you immediately stopped crying. It was the most amazing thing in the world. From that day on I swore to you and to myself that……I would always to right by you….always be the person you could run to when things got too tough for you……I wanted to be the godfather from heaven but instead…..instead I proved last night to be the godfather from hell. Harry I am so so sorry for yelling at you last night. I really don't know why I did. I really hope that we can past this sooner rather than later. So what do ya say mate? Will ya give your old godfather a chance?"

Harry pondered everything that Sirius had related to him. He knew Sirius never meant to hurt him but still…..it wasn't something he could get over that quickly. So he said……

"You're right Sirius…..you were the person I could always run too when things got too tough. And you had this magical way of making feel like the most important kid in the world. You taught me so many things. You taught me to be always there for the family because at the end of the day, they are the most important thing. You taught me my first prank and the meaning of being a junior marauder. You taught me how to fly and play quiddtich and so much more…..but all that's gone now. Everything you said, did or showed me….its all just a memory. You are not the godfather from hell Sirius. You are the best godfather I could have ever asked for. But last night…..it was only the beginning."

Sirius stood up and looked anxiously at Harry as he said…..

"Harry what are you talking about?"

"You…and…me. You are going to marry Sharina soon Sirius. And don't get me wrong I am really happy for you but….. Then I won't be the most important person in your life. Sharina will be and you will have your own children Sirius so you won't need me. So I know that you are going to be moving away Sirius but I'm okay with it, really. Coz you taught me that nobody can take away your memories. And my memories of you and me….they will always be here…..forever." Harry said pointing to his head. Sirius looked at him dumbfounded. He had no idea what to say. None of what Harry said was true. He and Sharina would not be moving away because she agreed to come and live the house where he lives with Remus. He had no idea where Harry had retrieved such a psychotic notion.

"Harry mate……"

"Save it Sirius coz I don't want to hear it okay! I have to go to Rons now." He started to turn away when Sirius said….

"Don't forget we have to be over at Andy's for 12:00 so be back here for 11:45 ya?"

Harry turned round and nodded before he ran down to the Weasleys house.

Sirius watched him until he was out of sight. Once Harry turned the corner, Sirius sighed and said….

"See ya later……Prongslet." He then slowly walked back home thinking about everything Harry said.

At 12:00 Tonks was sitting in the kitchen with her sister drinking coffee when a loud thud was heard from behind them. They both jumped up and saw James and Lily getting up off the ground, brushing themselves down from the ashes. They looked up and smiled at their audience.

"Wotcher James, Lily what brings you guys here?"

"Didn't your mother tell you Tonks? She told us to come over for measurements. For the wedding?"

Tonks slapped herself on the head before saying….

"Oh jeez ya! I totally forgot. But where is Remus and…….." another thud was heard. Tonks coughed a little before she said…."Sirius."

"Alright Tonks?" Sirius asked, nodding his head. He smiled at Lucia as he made his way over to the table. Tonks starred after him while Lucia asked…..

"Is he alright?"

"Ya…..we just had a little…blow up last night. Things are a little tense between us all but…..well be fine Luc don't worry." James said as he smiled tensely. Lucia just nodded as Tonks continued to stare after him. Sirius was sitting at the kitchen table starring up at the ceiling. Tonks then strolled over to him. She put her mug on the table as he dragged the chair next to Sirius out so she could sit down. Sirius smiled dryly at her and she reciprocated it.

"Sirius what is going on?"

"What do you mean Tonks?"

"Well you and James had a falling out. That is something that never happens."

"Oh it happens Tonks."

"Ya but not like this. You guys always resolve it. So why cant you now?"

"It's a little bit more complicated than your average tiff love."

"So tell me Sirius. Come on please? I really want to help."

Sirius smiled appreciatively at her. He patted her hand and said…..

"It involves Harry. I said some things I shouldn't have and…….well….."

"Like what? Sirius like what?"

Sirius shook his head so Tonks said…..

"Oh come on Sirius! You are the only person who doesn't treat me like a kid so don't start now! Tell me what happened."

"Sharinas grandmother threatened Harry and I made it seem like he was lying and I called him a spoilt brat. Everybody was concerned about the situation so I had no choice but to convey the truth. Sharina does not want anybody to know this so please keep it to you. Paula is a schizophrenic…….."

"Okay come on now everyone lets get all of this in order. Oh Tonks please go up and get dressed."

"Yes mother." Tonks said as she rolled her eyes and got up.

"Okay everyone lets sit down and talk things through before we take measurements. Now Lily what colour co-ordinations is Sharina thinking about?" Andy asked as she and the rest took seats at the table.

"Eh hello! I am her fiancé Andy so I think I should know that one."

"Oh yes Sirius but you are a man…..now Lily what colours dear?"

Sirius rolled his eyes while Remus and James sniggered at her comment.

"Well…….."

After all the measurements were taken, Andromeda and Ted rustled up some lunch for their guests. Sirius and Tonks offered to clear the table so they could talk.

"What are you going to do about Harry, Sirius? I mean I get the feeling that Lily and James will come around in their own time and by the sounds of things…they already are."

"Tonks look I don't know okay? He made it crystal clear this morning that he doesn't want to know me!"

"He is seven years old Sirius! He worships the ground you walk on. Come on now Sirius, get a grip. I will lead him outside and you go after him okay?"

"Tonks I don't know….."

"What have you got to loose? He already isn't speaking to you! How much worse can it get?"

Sirius chuckled at this. Tonks patted him on the shoulder before she went over to Harry at the table.

"Harry I want to show you something outside." She whispered into his ear.

"What is it Tonks?" Harry asked intrigued

"You are just going to have to go outside and find out. Okay so I need you to go and wait by the oak tree while I run upstairs and grab my shoes."

"Okay Tonks." Harry replied happily as he hopped off his seat and ran to the door and did as Tonks said.

Once he was gone, Tonks nodded at Sirius who simply winked at her as he ran out after his godson.

James was watching Sirius speaking to Tonks with great anticipation. As soon as Tonks left the room, James left the table to approach Sirius. Sirius was making his way to the back door when he felt a hand on his shoulder. When he turned around and saw James there he smiled sadly while James beckoned him to follow him into the hallway. Sirius followed James anxiously looking at Lily who was glaring at him. Once they were out in the hall, James closed the door so they could speak in private.

"So what's up?" Sirius asked with both hands shoved in his pocket.

"I think we can both establish that much Sirius." James replied coldly with his arms folded.

"James I said I was sorry about last night. Everything just got completely out of control….."

"The only time it got out of control Sirius, was when you called my son a liar and a spoiled brat when you knew full well he wasn't!"

"Don't you think I regret that James? Look I just lost it for a second with him. But Sharina didn't want anybody to know about Paula because…..well it's a matter of pride really. She is on medication but obviously didn't take a dose before she came last night. It would freak people out if they knew they were in contact with a schizophrenic….."

"You really screwed up big style mate!"

"Yes I do realise that thank you. So what must I do to make it up to you?"

"Never again call my son a spoiled brat or a liar would be a good place to start mate!" Sirius sniggered a little while James continued……"Next time there is a nutter in our presence let us know ya? Don't hide it from us again okay coz next time I can't promise that I will be so forgiving."

"Ya sure thing mate." James smiled at Sirius before he hugged him in true marauder style.

"So….have you figured out who is going to be your best man yet?"

"I haven't got a clue mate. It's really hard to decide between your two best friends." He smiled at James who smirked before saying….

"Well allow me to make it easier for you…..ask Remus."

"What? I mean….are you sure?" Sirius asked dumbfounded.

"Yes I am Sirius. He doesn't have a great deal of happiness in his life at the moment. What with him being a werewolf and refusing to date anyone because of that….having to see his two best friends married and with kids…..well I imagine it isn't easy for him. So imagine how he would feel to be best man at your wedding? I know it would mean a lot to him. That way we both would have given him an honourable duty. What do you say?"

"I say……you are one heck of a mate Prongsie!" They both laughed a little before they hugged again.

"So what am I going to do about Lily?" Sirius asked.

"You leave her to me. All you have to concentrate on is getting back on speaking terms with your ring bearer!" James winked at him before leaving Sirius to brood over his thoughts.

Harry heard the door close and turned around expecting to find Tonks as he said…..

"Tonks what is it you want to show……..me." He stared at Sirius.

"Hey how ya going mate?" Sirius asked from the distance.

Harry shrugged his shoulders as he said……

"I'm okay thank you. How are you?"

"Okay can we please loose the formality Harry? There is no need for it!"

"Whatever Sirius." Harry said shortly as he turned his back on him.

Sirius walked over to him. He placed a hand on his shoulder which made Harry jump.

"Sorry mate I didn't mean to scare ya!"

"You already did that last night Black!"

Sirius looked at him quizzically as he said……

"Black? Oh so now were on last names is it Harry? Look can we please sort this out now. Come on over here with me will ya? Please?" Harry reluctantly followed him over to a wooden table with four matching seats around it. They sat opposite each other.

"Look Harry I am sorry about last night okay? I never meant to snap at you."

"So why did you Sirius?" Harry asked sadly.

"Because Sharina didn't want anybody to know about her grandmother. Her family have a lot of pride issues going on. I had to respect her wishes. Can you understand that?"

"Yes." Harry replied amiably.

"Okay well that's a start……"

"But I still don't get why you called me a spoilt brat Sirius. If anybody ever said that to me you would belt them backwards!"

"That part…..I am the most ashamed of Harry. I guess that I just sort of lost it. You were ranting on about how Paula threatened you and shouting out Voldemorts name at the top if your lungs….."

So?"

So? Harry we already told you that the vast majority of people don't like hearing his name and even fewer say it! People are scared of it."

"It's just a name Sirius."

"To you and me maybe. But a lot of people have difficulty with that. Look…..I never should have lay into the way I did and I never will again. I promise you that much Harry. I can only say sorry so many times Harry…….whether or not you choose to forgive me and get over this is up to you. But I am sorry." Sirius smiled sadly at Harry who had his bowed playing with his fingers. Sirius then got up to go back into the house. As he was near the back door, Harry called out.

"Sirius!" Sirius then turned around to find Harry standing at the table starring at him sadly.

"Sirius I hate us being like this. All I want is for things to get back to normal so…." Harry then walked closer to Sirius as he said…"Can we please be friends again?"

Sirius face which once bore sorrow and guilt suddenly formed a warm, endearing smile as he said….

"Ya. Ya of course we can Prongslet. Come here." Sirius said as he bent down on his knees and opened his arms for Harry to run into. Harry's face which once portrayed sadness and anger, turned into a broad smile as he ran eagerly into his Godfathers warm, secure embrace.

Well what do ya think? I know it was all pretty much about Sirius and Harry but…..aren't they two of the most important characters in this story at least? Anyway if u didn't like it sorry but the wedding is the next chapter so hopefully you will enjoy that one more! Talk 2 ya!
