A week later, on the night of Monday, April 25, 1994, Harry received an owl from Headmaster Lupin requesting that he come up to the headmaster's office.

When Harry arrived in Lupin's office, he was greeted by Lupin himself and by Sirius.

Harry, Sirius, and Lupin all took seats and Lupin said, "Harry, Sirius wishes to meet with you so I told him to come up to the school and told him he could meet you in my office tonight."

"Okay, " said Harry in understanding, "What's up, Sirius?"

"Before we get down to why I originally wanted to meet with you, I should take this opportunity to inform you that I received an owl this afternoon from Madam Bones about Vernon's and Petunia's sentencing. She knew I was coming here tonight, so she asked me to pass the information along to you, " said Sirius matter of factly.

"Did they get the thirty years in Azkaban that Madam Bones recommended?" asked Harry.

"No, " said Sirius with both a smirk and a menacing tone to his voice, "The Wizengamot sentenced them both to life in Azkaban. The Wizengamot wanted to make absolutely sure that they never had any more contact with children ever again."

"Good, " said Harry coldly, "Vernon and Petunia got what they had coming to them. If they die in Azkaban because they can't handle the dementors then so be it. Some people deserve NO tears shed for them and NO emotion felt for them. Vernon and Petunia clearly are such people, the asshole and the bitch!"

"That's right, " agreed Sirius at once, "Sometimes bad people need to get their comeuppance."

"Yes, " said Harry approvingly, "But why did you want to meet with me tonight in the first place?"

"To discuss plans for summer, " said Sirius in a businesslike voice, "I know you have a lot to look forward to in August, so I thought we'd get the things done we need to get done in July."

"So, do you have a house then?" inquired Harry.

"Yes, " said Sirius happily, "When I was released from Azkaban, I discovered that I owned my deceased parents' house. However, as I didn't have a good relationship with my parents and had a holistically unhappy childhood, I sold that house and used the money I got from it to buy a new one."

"Good for you, Sirius, " said Harry brightly, "I would never want to go back to Privet Drive as an adult, so I totally got not wanting to go back to the house of your unhappy childhood."

" So, are you ready to hear my plans for you?" Sirius asked Harry.

"Yes, Sirius, " said Harry simply.

"First, " said Sirius clearly, "I want you to get an eye exam. When was the last time you had an eye exam?"

"It's been too long for me to remember, " answered Harry honestly.

"That's all I need to hear, " said Sirius firmly, "I don't know if you can lose your glasses. But even if you DO still need glasses, you need to get a more current prescription. I also want you to see a dentist. "

"Let me guess, " interjected Harry, "You want me to see a healer too?"

"Yes, " confirmed Sirius, "After what I've learned about your life with those fucking Dursleys, I strongly suspect that you have many medical needs."

"So, " smiled Harry, "This sounds like Operation Bring Harry's Physical Well Being Up to Snuff Before the 1994-1995 School Year Starts on September 1st."

Sirius mimicked a bell ringing and said, "Smart kid you are, Harry."

Sirius then added, "I'm going to send a house elf to pick up some new regular clothes for you before July 1st so that when you come home, you'll have good clothes waiting for you."

"Thanks, Sirius, " said Harry gratefully, "I'm glad not to have to mess with the shopping myself."

"Now, " grinned Sirius, "As it will be our first summer together as godfather and godson, I want it to be just the two of us in the house for the first month."

"Are you the Secret Keeper for your new house?" Harry asked Sirius.

"Yes, " confirmed Sirius, "In addition to ourselves, Remus Lupin has permission to enter the house. Under different circumstances, I'd offer to allow him to live with us for a while. But because he is now Headmaster of Hogwarts, he is required to live at Hogwarts year round."

"That makes sense, " nodded Harry, "Does anyone else have permission to access the house?"

"Yes, " said Sirius a nanosecond later, "I have granted Hermione Granger access to the house."

"OHH!" remembered Harry, "Hermione promised to help me catch up on Ancient Runes this summer!"

"Exactly, " said Sirius briskly, "Hermione will be staying with us from August 1st through August 10th. This will be the period when Hermione brings you up to speed on ancient runes. You will then be spending August 11th through August 16th at the Creeveys and at the Burrow from August 17th through August 31st. I may stop in to visit a couple of times, but I promise to see you off at King's Cross on September 1st."

"And you'll be picking me up there July 1st?" said Harry radiantly.

"Exactly!" smiled Sirius, "Now, apart from Hermione, which of your other friends would you want to invite to a big birthday party for you. I'm planning a big birthday party for you on July 31st, but it won't be like Colin's or Ginny's late one. Those will be more standard birthday party fare from what I know about them. I don't want to spoil the surprise of what it will entail. I will tell you that it will not be at the house. So, other than Hermione, who else would you like to invite?"

"Colin Creevey, Dennis Creevey, Oliver Wood, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, and Susan Bones, " replied Harry.

"So, " said Sirius, "Your friends, a few of their siblings, and your Quidditch teammates."

"Yes, " said Harry cheerfully.

"May I suggest an addition?" asked Sirius.

"But of course, " replied Harry warmly.

"Lee Jordan, " suggested Sirius, "Your Quidditch commentator and Fred's and George's best friend apart from each other."

"That's fine, " approved Harry.

"Finally, " said Sirius clearly, "I'm going to be testing some of your magical skills over the summer. If any of them are subpar, I will train with you to bring them up to expected grade level for your age."

"What about doing underage magic outside of Hogwarts?" piped up Harry.

"My house is warded against the detection of underage magic, " Sirius ensured Harry.

"Is that it then?" Harry asked Sirius.

"For now," answered Sirius, "You may go back to your common room now but have a treat."

And Sirius dug his right hand into his right pocket, pulled out a Snickers bar, and handed it to Harry, who beamed.
