Sirius continued, almost hesitantly, as if afraid to offend his godson, "And, well, I'll understand if you choose to stay with your aunt and uncle, but, so you know, you could --"
Harry couldn't believe his ears. Was Sirius really offering him a home with him. How wonderful! "When?" he asked eagerly. "Come live with you?" Just to make sure he understood him correctly.
Sirius could not suppress the huge grin which spread across his face. "Soon as my names' cleared...."
Harry looked at Hogwarts and grinned, Sirius mimicking his actions.
Suddeny Hermione's voice, quivering with fear, rose behind them. "Harry...."
He turned to see his friend staring at the full moon. Beginning to understand he looked at Professor Lupin, who was a rigid silhousette, only his fingers twitching.
Sirius turned to Remus in alarm. "Remus, old friend, did you take your potion tonight?" He bit his tongue, almost saying, my love.
