Hey thanks again for the reviews! Very much appreciated! Hope ya like what's up next coz here comes chapter 47!  Talk 2 ya! 

"Good morning Sirius." Lily called as she opened the sitting room door.

"Hmmm…..oh morning Lily." Sirius replied turning over on his back. "What time is it?"

"Its nearly eight 0 clock Sirius." Lily said as she stepped into the room and stood at the foot of the couch.

"Thanks love." Sirius replied as he began stretching himself.

"You know you could have taken the spare room last night Sirius." Lily stated as she sat on the arm.

"Lily there is no spare room. It's a three bedroom house, remember?"

"Yes but we converted the attic, remember?"

"Oh……well the couch is deadly comfortable so thanks again for letting me stay."

"Like we could have refused. You are family after all." She said with a warm smile which he returned.

"And don't worry about Shari. She was just a little crabbed yesterday because she just got off a thirty-six hour shift at the ministry. She will be fine after a good nights rest, you'll see."

"Ya…..I sure hope so Lils. That woman drives me mad sometimes but…..I love her."

Lily smiled fondly at him before she said…..

"We all know you do Sirius. Now how about some breakfast?" She asked tapping his leg before getting up.

"Ya I won't say no but I think a shower is in order first so….."

"Oh ya go right ahead Sirius."

"Thank you Lils. I owe you one." Sirius said getting up and winking at her.

"What are friends for? Take your time…." After a smile she left Sirius sitting on the edge of the sofa staring after her.

Later, after breakfast, Sirius was outside talking to Harry on top of the table. James and Remus had already left for work, Shari wasn't up and Lily had brought the kids down to Molly's.

"So what do you think I should do Sirius? I should go back, shouldn't I?"

"Oh ya of course you should Harry. Your parents and I were talking about that last night. We all hoped that what happened last year was just a once off but…..apparently not." He smiled sadly at Harry.

"What do you mean Sirius?" Harry asked perplexed.

"I don't know Harry…..I guess….Voldemort is doing is damnest to return to power. Now that he knows you are at Hogwarts, he wont stop…..pursuing his dream…."

"So you think Dobby was trying to warn me that….Voldemort IS the conspiracy?"

"Yes. Or else he is involved in some twisted way. One thing is for sure Harry; you got yourself a real friend in that elf…."

"Hey Shari!" Harry exclaimed happily.

"Oh…..hi Harry. How are you this morning sweetheart?"

"I'm great thanks Shars. How about you?"

"Ya I'm good thanks Harry…..Sirius." She nodded solemnly in his direction before returning to the house.

"Alright Shari darling?" She turned around to find a grinning Sirius staring at her. "How are you feeling this morning? You are looking particularly beautiful this morning, might I add!" He winked at her which made her roll her eyes and Harry snigger.

"Save it for somebody who cares, Sirius." With that she closed the door with a bang.

"On the count of three she will be back out wanting to talk." Sirius whispered to Harry.

"How do you know? I hate to break it to you Sirius but I doubt….."

"One….." She will come…."two…." back and want to…."three….." talk…." Harry said smirking at a smug looking Sirius who was focusing on the door intently.

"Sirius, we need to talk." Shari called from the doorway.

"How did you….." Harry asked astounded at what just happened. Sirius hopped off the table.

"Watch and learn Prongslet…..Yes Mon Shari?" Sirius said walking over to her. He then kissed her hand. "Did I see a smile there?" Sirius teased.

"No you did not!" Shari stated firmly with her arms crossed.

"I think I did…..come on….smile for Sirius….baby come on and smile for Sirius…." He kept following her head. Each time she would look anywhere but at him. Eventually she relented and smiled at him.

"Look okay I am sorry about last night. I guess I was a little grumpy…."

"A little? Shari…sweetheart I am lucky to have my head on my shoulders at all!"

"Oh don't be such a drama……king….Can we just forgive and forget?"

"Okay sure love. Once you realise that what Harry were doing last night was not conspiring against you! A house elf came and warned Harry that he was the bait of some conspiracy at Hogwarts. Hence why he should NOT return!"

"WHAT? Oh my god….Sirius….."

"Shhhh Shari sweetheart its okay. Come here….." Sirius embraced her warmly. Harry smirked over at them.

"The reason I didn't tell you last night was because I was still trying to figure how to deal with it myself….and Harry of course…..I am sorry Shars…"

"No its okay Sirius. I understand. But you are going to tell Dumbledore aren't you?"

"…..Well ya in time…"

"In time? Sirius this is…….."

"Serious?" He half laughed……"Of course we will tell him but not immediately. We can't ALWAYS be running to him with every little problem you know? Firstly I am meeting James in a bit and then we are going to this to a few at the ministry to see if they shed some light on what might be going on or do something to help. Don't Worry. It will be fine. Lils is down in Molly's with the kids so why don't you head down there with Harry?"

"What about you?"

"I will be fine Shars. You just got off a thirty-six hour shift so take it easy and enjoy your day off love. Ill see you later okay?"

"Okay Sirius." He kissed her quick before turning back to Harry.

"Harry, see ya later mate! " He winked at him.

"Okay. Later Sirius." He smiled and waved a little at him before Sirius apparated to the ministry of magic.
