Farms

Chapter Eight

"Then why the fuck was your sister in the yard walking?" Said the angry man. "She probably when to the cousins!" Said the teenager following the angry man, who both seen Draco and Betty at the opened door. The little girl still holding tightly to Draco's hand and just giggled and waved at her pa. "Or the neighbors." Said the boy kind of quietly. "Get your ass to your room, now!" Spoke the man. "I am very sorry." Said the man but Draco just smiled. "No problem! She's very friendly." Draco said, getting walked past. "I got her, Remus!" He yelled. "Harry's little brother?" Draco asked. "You know Harry?" He asked. "Yes, I do. His father just hired me and my brother at the store." Draco said. "Remus is the name of both my nephew and my husband." He smiled lightly. "Harry lives next door to you?" Draco said after a moments thought. "About a mile that way, gets to the end of their yard. However their land is nearly five miles long. We just brought the house next door. Nor is your farm near as big." He spoke. "Sirius, Sirius black." He said, before Remus came running over. "Thank goodness." He said, and picked up the small girl. "Thank you, for letting Amanda use your yard." Draco said. "Oh! It's no trouble. She is such a sweet girl!" Remus said. "Well, little missy is welcomed over, or any of the kids I am sure." Draco said, giving her a small pat and she give his hand a kiss. "My brother Zachary might be able to help her. Autism. So different, but there was a time he never spoke a word." Draco said. "I can talk to your parents then. Maybe we can get you kids together." Sirius said and Draco pulled out a card. "Very well. Bye little missy!" Draco said, but got this sad look on her face that made Draco hate to leave.

Come four the next morning, Harry stood with his little brother, in the barn. "It's to early for this." He whined. "You wanted to be a man, so you have to get used to it." Harry said and he sighed. "I hear pads." He said and Harry turn around. "How on Earth do you hear him, he is half a mile away." Harry said. "Those chains of his are loud, Harry. So his that old horse of his." Remus said. "Why don't you start with the feeds, I'll see what he wants." Harry said and he nodded. "You be careful. Ma will have my ass if you get hurt." Harry said. "Brother! You promised." He whined, but for a friendly push.
Harry took off running, and meet with Sirius only a couple minutes later. Harry had learn to run very quickly over their land. "What are you doing here?" Harry asked. "It's nice to see you too." He joked, climbing off his horse. "You know I enjoy seeing you, but normally not at four in the morning. What's wrong?" Harry asked. "Your pa hired a boy about your age at the store?" Sirius asked. "Along with his seventeen years old brother. How did you hear about that? Pa hasn't had a chance to call yet." Harry said, getting an arm on his shoulder as they started the walk to his barn. "Betty got unsupervise last night. I guess she got turned around, because she ended up at the neighbors yard. I'm assuming the oldest child, a boy about your age brought her back. Seems you have talked to him about your siblings." Sirius said. "Wait, he lives on the other side of you? I have lived here my whole life, and never knew. That is very disappointing." Harry said. "So you like this boy?" Sirius said. "Yes, I do. Why on Earth was Betty unsupervised?" Harry said. "Keith was suppose to watch her, while Ramus finished dinner. He cared more about that video game, that is now in a million pieces." Sirius said. "Isn't that a little... Extreme?" Harry said. "You know as well as I do, she could have easily wondered to the road. At some point sure she can be independent, but that isn't at three years old. Luckily she stumbled to your crush." Sirius said. "He is very sweet." Harry said. "He seems like a good kid." He replied. "Is that all you came to do? Complain about pa not telling you he hired a couple boys?" Harry said. "Of course not. Betty is having surgery soon to try and help her hips." Sirius said. "Ah. You came to see if you'd play babysitter." Harry said. "I was hoping, when I call Mr. Malfoy, you and Draco could watch the kids?" Sirius kind of laughed. "I can make my own date, thank you." Harry said. "Alright, alright. Would you watch the kids?" He asked. "Yes, I'll watch the kids." Harry laughed, before the finished the walk to the barn.
Remus jumped down form one of the barrel lids, holding the half full feed on his shoulder. "Your ma know you have him out here?" Sirius asked. "Yes, ma knows." Remus fussed a bit pissy before taking off. "He is-" Sirius started. "Has been sneaky out alone at night...I kind of knew a while ago. I talk to ma after we talk. He does fine." Harry said. "Your Ma still bothered by what happened?" He asked. "You know it. Remus is fine though. He is fine...until somebody treat him differently. Even I made that mistake..." Harry said. "Because you love him. He knows that, but I'll be sure to talk to moony and the kids about the limit of treating him differently." Sirius said. "Thank you, pads." Harry said, before Harry looked outside the barn. Remus was filling the pigs feed. "Odd, I never said the pigs needed feeding." Harry said. "Your little brother is a very resilient boy...But sees your ma is worried about you again." Sirius said and Harry let out a sigh.
