Chapter 8.

It had been two days since Harry had told Sirius about what really happened and something about it was bugging him. Sirius hadn’t reacted the way he normally would have. It’s not that Harry wasn’t happy that Sirius had accepted him but it was the way that he had done it. His godfather was known to be a rash man who acted before he thought but this time it had appeared that he had thought before he acted and that worried Harry. So he had decided that when the others went out to get their books and stuff from Diagon Alley he would confront his godfather.

“Harry dear we’re going to be going now do you want us to get anything for you while we’re out?” Molly Weasley said popping her head into his room.

“No I’m fine Mrs Weasley.” Harry said trying not to sneer at the woman. Nodding the red haired lady left. Not long after Sirius came into the room and sat down.

“Sirius can I ask you something?” Harry asked.

“Sure.” Sirius replied with a smile.

“About the other day when I told you about me and Tom why did you react the way you did?” Harry enquired.

“What do you mean?” Sirius said an almost inaudible waver in his voice.

“You were so calm. It’s just not like you.” Harry explained.

“Well I just thought about it before I did anything to rash.” Sirius explained.

“You’re lying.” Harry simply stated.

“What is he lying about?” Severus asked as he walked in.

“Why he took the news so calmly and what are you doing here?” Harry asked.

“Well I’m here because I have to tell you that you are going to have a visitor soon.” Snape said before looking at Sirius. “You can tell him you know.”

Harry smiled as he heard this having a feeling that it was his love that was coming to visit.

“Hold on. Tell me what?” Harry asked a bit confused.

“The reason as to why he was so calm.” Snape said nudging the animagus.

“Well Harry I was going to blow before Snape told me what was happening.”

“Siri this doesn’t make any sense. Why would you listen to Severus? You two don’t like each other.” Harry said.

“You see Harry you’re wrong. We don’t hate each other. We haven’t for a long time.” Sirius stopped there and looked at Severus who caught his hand and gave it a little squeeze. “Harry Sev and I have been together for four years and that’s why he was able to calm me down before I did anything rash that could cause you any pain.”

“Really?” Harry asked looking between the two.

“Well that’s not the only reason. Sev has been talking me into changing sides for a while now and the only thing holding me back was you. But now Sev got me to see that it’s no longer a problem.” Sirius explained.

“Severus should be commended then.” A voice said from the door. The three occupants turned to face the newcomer. Severus immediately bowed while Harry tried to get out from under his covers and Sirius just stared.

“Problem Harry?” The Dark Lord smirked.

“Shut up. You try getting out from sheets that were done by Molly Weasley.” Harry grumbled.

“That’s him?” Sirius asked no one in particular.

“Sirius have a bit more respect for him.” Severus hissed.

“Yes!” Harry yelled when he was finally rid of the sheets. “What’s wrong with him?”

“He’s just not what I expected.” Sirius said.

“Sev you didn’t tell him?” Harry was shocked.

“Well the fact that the Dark Lord was able to recapture his youthful appearance isn’t a normal conversation topic.” Severus defended.

“No wonder you were shocked. You thought that I was going out with a man who looked like a snake.” Harry laughed as his godfather’s cheeks tinted.

“Will you three stop acting like I’m not here!” Tom shouted in frustration.

“Right sorry love.” Harry said giving him a hug. He then smiled and said. “Tom this is my godfather Sirius, Sirius this is my boyfriend Tom.”

“I know who he is.” Tom said before Harry hit him in the ribs. Tom looked over to Sirius to see that the animagus held out his hand. He looked at the hand for a second before taking it in his own and gave it a slight shake.

“Great now that that’s out of the way why are you here?” Harry said pulling Tom with him to his bed.

“I came to see you.” He whispered kissing his head.

“Oh that’s so sweet but really why?” Harry asked as he leant into the other man’s chest.

“Fine, fine you dragged it out of me.” Tom sighed dramatically causing Severus to snort and Sirius to raise an eyebrow. “One of our sources in the ministry has informed me that Dumbledor has had a hand in the minister’s decision to close the blood bank in London. So Harry are you thinking what I’m thinking?”

“I don’t know brain. Are you thinking that we could persuade the vampires to join us?” Harry asked.

“Why yes I am. What do you think?” Tom asked.

“It won’t work.” Harry’s head shot off Tom’s chest when Sirius said that.

“Why?” Tom questioned.

“Do you know any vampires?” The three others shook their heads. “There’s your problem. To be able to start negotiations with the vampire elders you need to have the backing of a vampire. But it can’t be one that everyone knows can be bought. Without that backing the elders won’t see you and no matter how hard you plead your case they wont see you.”

“Damn.” Harry sighed. “Now what?”

“I could help I guess.” Sirius said with a mischievous smile. “I know a very good vampire.”

Sooo? What do ya think?
Tell me even if you think it sucked.
Jinx.
