Sirius stood outside Harry's bedroom the next morning with two broomsticks in his hands. After knocking twice and getting no reply he decided to enter where he found an unconscious Harry stretched lengthways on the bed. He called him and shook him gently but only receiving a murmur. He frowned playfully before conjuring a glass of water and threw it over his face. Harry sat upright looking around and promising to kill whoever did that. Sirius stood beside the bed grinning. Harry reached over to his locker for his glasses and put them. He looked up and saw Sirius grinning face staring at him. He shook his head a little and wiped his face down.

"Sirius….I should have known. What do you want?"

"I want you to get up and get dressed so we can go flying."

"I am not in the mood for flying Sirius."

"Well I really don't care if you are in the mood or not Prongslet because you are going. I want to show you something so….I will waiting outside your door and in five minutes I expect to find you up and dressed." Sirius walked out of the room as Harry stared after him annoyed at the prospect of getting up.

True to his word Sirius knocked on the door five minutes later and found Harry dressed, looking at him curiously.

"So what is it you wanted to show me then?"

"Well first thing is first….I need you to open your window."

"Harry quirked an eye brow and asked….."Why?"

"Will you for once do this for me Harry?"

"Okay. Fine. Whatever…" He opened back his window fully and turned back to see Sirius mounting one of the brooms.

"Sirius….what are you doing?"

"Have you ever tried free falling Harry?"

"No. What is free falling?"

"Well…." He threw Harry's broom over to him and said…

"If you get on then I will show you."

Reluctantly Harry obeyed his Godfather and mounted his broom.

"Okay are you ready?"

"Yes."

"Alright let's go. Just follow my lead Harry."

Sirius winked at him as his broom took off out the window and instead of flying upwards Sirius directed his broom towards the ground and let go. Harry laughed a little and followed suit. What he didn't know was that Sirius had conjured a spell on both of their brooms to do this.

Harry flew out the window, headed for the ground and let go and just as the tip of the handle was about to hit the ground…..the broom shot upwards so that they were a good 500 feet in the air. Lily saw all this from the house and ran outside to berate Sirius for being so irresponsible. As she got outside she saw that they both were hovering off the ground a few feet in the garden with their backs facing the ground.

"Okay Harry are you ready to let go mate?"

"Yeah okay Sirius." Harry said laughing a little.

"Alright on the count of three….we jump….backwards….one….two…."

"THREE" They both shouted at the same time as they somersaulted off their brooms with Lily looking on in horror. Remus and James came out of their houses having seen all of the spectacle and couldn't help but laugh. Lily turned around hearing them shouting….

"IT IS NOT FUNNY JAMES!"

"Oh come on Lily….when was the last time you heard Harry laughing?"

"Or when was the last time he and Sirius acted stupid together?" Remus asked.

"You say stupid but I say irresponsible…."

"Its just like the old days Lils when it was just the four of us. You having you're a little heart attacks, me encouraging some fun around this place, Remus not wanting to accept that whatever those two did together made him laugh…..You have to admit that its been a while Lils." Lily smiled a little and turned around to see Harry and Sirius wrestling each other on the grass. She couldn't help but laugh then.

"Okay James you are right. It has been a while. What with Harry's dreams and the death eaters…..I guess we all got carried away with the darkness of what the future will hold and forgot about what is really important."

"Exactly." He put his arm around her shoulder as he kissed her on the head.

"When the time comes….we will get through it babe."

"Yeah….I know James. I know." She kissed the back of his hand. They all shared a smile and focused back on Harry and Sirius messing around in the garden.

"Well what did you think Prongslet? Has your old Godfather still got it?"

Sirius asked smirking after they jumped off their brooms.

Harry laughed before replying….

"Oh Padfoot you still got it. I am sorry for being such a pain in the ass lately."

"Don't worry about it Harry. We all go through good times and bad times in our lives but it's nice to know that no matter how annoying we get….that there will always be someone to support us. You have all of us kid and don't you ever forget that."

"I won't. Thank you Sirius……for everything. You were right last night but I was just too stubborn to admit it."

"What was I right about?"

"That me thinking that I can't grip occlumency is basically letting Voldemort win before he has even started. You all put yourselves out there for me all the time so it seems only right that I do what is best for this family and that is not to give up. If Voldemort wants to return for a fight well then….I will be ready for him."

"Hey now that is the true Potter spirit Harry. Come here." He embraced Harry tightly.

"I challenge you to a wrestling match Padfoot." Harry said breaking away from him.

"Oh well you are on Prongslet!" They both laughed and ended up rolling around on the grass until Lily eventually called them in for breakfast.

Hey I know that it was pretty short but I just wanted to establish Harry's frame of mind that I want to continue right to the end. Harry in the books and films didn't have his family so he was allowed to be irritable but he does in this story so I figure that he shouldn't be. He should be determined and fierce. What did you think anyway?? Let me know. Talk to you later.
