I'm Kind of Sirius (Sirius Black fan fiction)

Chapter 16 : Helping Harry

hey, so this is a week early because I'm going on holidays next week and I am not bringing my laptop with me so I will not get a chance to update then. So here it is, a week early and I'm afraid to say there won't be another one for about three weeks :(

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it and please do remember all the effort I am putting into getting this for you :)

"I went home that night to hear the cupboards banging. I suddenly stopped in my footsteps to look at a shadow in the door. I froze.

"He's not home yet," someone whispered, the sound of another cupboard banging closed echoing in the cold house.

"Yeah but he will be any minute," a more feminine voice said. I look to the shadows and try to make out their shapes, trying to identify the people that are currently in my house without any permission whatsoever.

"We'll just explain what happened when he gets in," a third muttered, and this time I recognize the voice.

Harry.

"What are you children doing in my house when I sent you off just yesterday?" I asked them as I looked at them with curiosity. They all look back at me shyly and try to give a look of innocence to me. I shake my head, not believing their little innocent act at all.

"We need somewhere to stay, Sirius, just until we have a plan ready, we weren't ready to leave so early," Harry explained to me. I nodded and used my wand to quickly put a spell up around the house.

"Well, you can stay here as long as you need but be careful, I'd prefer if none of you left the house. You could get yourselves into a lot of trouble, everyone's on the look out for you, Harry, and Hermione and Ron, you two aren't too safe either."

"We will, Sirius," Hermione told me, rolling her eyes at me as she did so. "Honestly, you'd think we're about to run outside yelling our names aloud and telling someone to arrest us."

"I don't doubt you kids of it, you're some of the most queer three people I've met," I tell them, throwing them a wink.

"Anyway, we'll just need to stay for a week or so, we just need to figure out where to look and find some kind of thing that is possibly a hor- I mean, we just need to find out some stuff," Ron said, quickly covering up his tracks.

I can't help but feel slight disappointment that they won't share with me what they are looking for but I can understand them, they need to keep it a secret from everyone because anyone might go blathering off.

Nonetheless, I go through the rest of my day quite annoyed that no one seems to be trusting me nowadays. I hate that no one can trust me, just because I went to azkaban.

I guess they did indeed have a good enough reason, but still, it was quite annoying and I was quite annoyed at everyone.

The next week passed by quickly with Harry in the house and I didn't even think about the fact that I only seen Ariel twice a day much which really helped improve my mood.

But alas, all good things must come to an end and this started when I found Harry standing outside Regulus' room, looking at the door. I remembered of the diary in his room and how I had not touched it since.

"Is something wrong, Harry?" I asked him. Harry shot his head around and looked at me before breathing a sigh of relief.

"Yeah - this room - who did it belong to?" Harry asked me.  I looked at it and sighed, deciding to give him an answer with asking him why he should need to know such a thing.
