Sirius couldn't believe what was going on. He looked at Harry. He was really all grown up.
"28 years old." Sirius pondered aloud. It was a mind boggling thought. Another 12 years had gone without him, but surely this time was gonna different.
"Oh I know right? I can't believe it myself sometimes." Harry answered.
"And you're already Head Auror?!" said Sirius.
"Honestly, It's just because of the whole Voldemort thing." Harry joked. He hoped that that would be as far as the went in that subject today.
Sirius' face grew, a little serious, if you will. It just didn't sit right with him. How could Harry possibly be so at ease with this whole "Voldemort thing?" How could he be so cool with the memory of the guy to refer to the whole ordeal as the "Voldemort thing?"
Sirius himself couldn't even be so casual with something like that. He just couldn't help but ask.
"About that." Sirius began. "When you say you killed him-"
Harry's eyes grew a little wider. He turned away from Sirius and down at a stack of papers on his desk.
"I've got to fill these out as soon as possible so you can officially be alive again." Harry laughed, interrupting Sirius while he pointed to the stack in order to change the subject quickly.
Sirius didn't try to ask his question again. Not that he even got to ask it a first time. He figured it was probably for the best anyway. Now probably wasn't the time.
"Being an Auror is more paperwork than anything." Harry chuckled to himself, "I think i'll just take this home with me."
Sirius watched as Harry picked up the papers and sorted through them, splitting them into which ones he would bring home and which ones he'd leave.
Sirius noticed the ring on Harry's hand. The left hand to be specific. His eyes opened slightly wider.
"Are you married!?" Sirius asked in a shocked tone. Harry laughed as he turned around and began to put the papers he was taking home into his bag.
"Haha Yeah." Harry smiled as he answered with his back still turned to Sirius.
Sirius with a shocked look, he stood up and walked over to Harry.
"So who's the lucky lady? When can I meet her?" Sirius teased as he nudged Harry's side.
"You've actually already met her." Harry told his Godfather.
"I have?" said Sirius.
"Oh yeah. Loads of times." Harry smiled as he pointed to a picture on the wall, "You know her pretty well."
Sirius looked at one of the many pictures. In the picture was Harry at his wedding.
It was a large group picture.
Harry stood in the middle. A bright smile etched across his face. It was the happiest Sirius had ever seen him. To Harry's left, Sirius had recognized Ron almost immediately. Surrounding them were several other familiar faces such as, Molly, Arthur, Hagrid, Neville, Luna and the rest of the Weasley's. To Harry's right was a short, redheaded young woman dressed in a beautiful white gown.
He suddenly recognized her.
"Ginny Weasley?!" Sirius askedned in a shocked tone.
"Well technically she's a Potter now, but yeah." Harry chuckled.
"Harry! You married your best friend's little sister!" Sirius shouted.
"Did I really?" Harry continued to laugh.
"That makes Ron your brother-in-law!" Sirius told him.
"I've got a bunch of those now. And Hermione's my sister-in-law." Harry told him.
Sirius's jaw dropped. He was absolutely speechless. Harry on the other hand couldn't help but fight the urge to laugh. It was all too much fun wasn't it?
Harry loved every photo hanging in his office. He didn't have many photos of him and his family growing up so he knew that was something he wanted to change.
Sirius glanced at a few of the other photos that were hanging. Some of which included, A photo of a young Harry and his parents which came from the photo book Hagrid gave him, a photo of Harry enjoying a glass of Butterbeer with Ron and Hermione, and a rather exciting photo of Harry kissing Ginny rather triumphantly in the middle of the Gryffindor common room.
Sirius chuckled quietly to himself as he knew almost for a fact that Harry and Ginny probably had no idea their picture was even being taken in that last one at the time.
He then walked over to sit back down on the other side of the desk, and noticed a few small picture frames facing away from him. He picked one of the picture frames randomly. He flipped it over to look at it.
In the picture was a baby with bright blue hair rolling around and laughing.
"Harry, who is this?" Sirius asked eagerly. Harry stopped packing his bag and turned to look at the picture Sirius was showing him.
"Oh. That's my godson." Harry smiled at the picture.
"Ah. I thought you were going to say he was your son." Sirius said with a faint chuckle. He was just glad to know he hadn't missed anymore important events in Harry's life.
"Of course not." Harry said.
"My son doesn't have blue hair." Harry whispered mischievously, facing away from Sirius.
"What?" asked Sirius, absolutely clueless as to what his godson has said.
"Nothing." said Harry, holding back a laugh, then he took a second to collect himself together before he spoke again.
"You know, he might not be your great-godson, but he is your cousin." Harry told Sirius.
"Wait. What?" said Sirius with his eyes wide open.
"Oh come on. Who's the only relative you can think of with bright and colorful hair." asked Harry.
"DORA!" Sirius exclaimed, "Who's his dad?"
"You're not gonna believe me. That right there is Teddy Remus Lupin." Harry told him.
"YOU'RE TELLING ME THERES A MOONY JR. RUNNING AROUND?!" Sirius shouted. Harry laughed.
"Wow. I can't wait to see them." Sirius said. Sirius noticed Harry's smile fade quickly and he felt his heart sink.
"They're gone too, aren't they?" Sirius asked in a whisper. He didn't want to know the answer.
Harry nodded slowly. Sirius held his breath as he fought back tears.
"I'm so sorry, Sirius." Harry apologized sadly, "I didn't want you to find out like this."
Sirius took a deep breath. He decided to try and change the subject.
"So. Ginny, huh?" Sirius asked as he cleared his throat and wiped his eyes.
"Yeah? What about her?"
"I don't know. It's just a lot, you know? You gotta fill me in." Sirius explained.
"Oh sure. I can't begin to imagine how you feel. I'm not sure how I would learn to adjust." Harry told him.
"So how is Ginny? Ron and Hermione too?" Sirius asked.
"Ron and Hermione are doing good. We all used to work in the Ministry, but Ron left to help George with the joke shop."
"Joke shop?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah. A year after you- well you know- Fred and George opened a joke shop." Harry told him.
"We lost Fred in the battle. George was at his lowest. Eventually Ron decided to leave the Auror department in order to be with his family more and be there for George." Harry explained.
"As for Ginny." Harry began, "She's doing really well. She's working from home right now. She's been really happy" Harry smiled.
"Awww. You love her!" Sirius teased his godson.
"Well yeah! This is my wife we're talking about. Of course I love her." Harry laughed.
"Well great. That's another Potter lost to a redhead." Sirius sighed sarcastically. He then broke a smile to his godson.
Harry couldn't help but laugh.
"What's with all the packing anyway?" Sirius asked.
"I'm gonna work from home for a few days. Spend some time with you guys. I mean. It's been years, you know?" Harry told him with a small smile.
"Speaking of home. We should be leaving soon. Everyone's waiting for us." said Harry.
Harry zipped up his bag and grabbed it. He walked around the room one more time making sure he had all he needed.
"Are you okay with apparation?" Harry asked Sirius. Harry held out his hand and Sirius grabbed it.
They turned and they were gone.
