Slytherin Boys

Come On In

Sirius was snoring quietly, half-naked with a diaper clad Harry napping on his chest. He had taken to caring for the baby like a fish to water, completely wrapped around the tiny boy's finger. His large hand rested on Harry's back, holding him protectively.

Remus snapped another photo, looking pleased at his family as Regulus walked past with Bill holding his hand. He was quite fond of the ones who resided in Grimmauld even as they looked into opening the true Black Family Manor, hoping to clean it up enough to get Harry a better home.

"Behave, you two." Remus called over his shoulder at the retreating couple. "Silencing charms are your friend!"

"Remus!" Regulus was a tomato red, hiding his face in Bill's chest as the ginger laughed.

"What? They are." Remus smiled innocently before shutting the door behind him. "Sirius, wake up."

"Wha?" Sirius blinked, waking slowly and scanning the room until he saw Remus. "What is it?"

"We need to go to the ministry and sign the papers for custody of Harry." Remus sat on the edge of the bed, carefully taking their baby and cradling him close as the tiny boy whimpered at being moved from his comfy spot. "Shh, shh. It's okay, Baby. Moomy has you."

Harry's bright green eyes cracked open, looking up at the werewolf and whimpering again. He was wet now and needed a change, taking a deep breath to start crying.

"Uh oh! Is my Cub wet?" Remus rose to his feet and went to the nursery, setting Harry down and changing his diaper quickly. "All clean!" He put him in smart little baby robes to go to the Ministry.

"Oh my. Look at our little Bambi. Lookin' good!" Sirius was in dark red robes and took Harry so Remus could get changed. He had bought Remus a whole new wardrobe as a mix of all the Christmas and Birthday gifts he's missed, getting around Remus's no pity policy. "Let's get your diaper bag packed, hm?"

"Pa!" Harry screeched happily, happy to see his Paddy and cuddling into the man. His brilliant emerald eyes focused on Sirius's face as the man smiled down at him.

"So smart, huh? You know who I am and who Moomy is too." Sirius took Harry to the kitchen and packed the diaper bag while Harry ate his snack of some yoghurt puffs. He would have a bottle at the Ministry later though.

~At the Ministry~

Remus cradled Harry close as Sirius led the way through the Ministry to where they needed to go, staying close enough that he could touch Sirius. The werewolf always felt nervous in the Ministry, knowing people were disgusted by his kind.

"Ah ha." Sirius got in the elevator with Harry and Remus, going to the correct floor of the Wizarding Child Services. Their custody of Harry was already filed with Gringotts which meant the Ministry could not take Harry because it would go against James and Lily's Wills which states Sirius had full custody of Harry should something to them and it had. Gringotts was in charge of seeing Wills through except in extreme circumstances, which Dumbledore had no say in what counted towards that.

Sirius strode through the hall and knocked on the door of the head of the department per the instructions in a letter he had received, Remus right behind while Harry sucked on a pacifier contentedly. The door was opened and they were ushered in by a ginger woman named Margaret Finnegan, aunt of Seamus Finnegan.

"Welcome, Lord Black and Consort Black-Lupin." Margaret smiled, gesturing them to the chairs in front of her desk. "This is merely a formality as Gringotts has already filed the proper paperwork on their end regarding the wills of James and Lily Potter. Er, where is Mr. Potter?"

"This is Harry. He had a magical mishap. And his magic sort of de-aged him." Sirius explained, pointing the the baby who grabbed his finger tightly and tried to pull it to his mouth after his pacifier fell.

"His last home was bad enough his magic did this?" Margaret's hair ruffled with a current of her magic.

"They were magic hating muggles. Lily stated in her will that he would not go to her muggle sister but Dumbledore took him there." Remus added softly.

"I'll be contacting the Aurors in regards to that then. So just sign this paperwork stating that you are accepting your guardianship and will perform the adoption ritual within the next two months." Margaret gave them the paperwork that Sirius skimmed and then had Remus read while Harry sat in Sirius's lap now. "Aw hello there." Margaret smiled at the baby who looked at her.

Harry just waved like he would to Regulus or the Weasleys giving a gummy grin at the lady. He cooed as he was given a teething cookie at Remus's nod that it was okay, drooling on the cookie as he gummed on it happily.

Sirius signed the paperwork once Remus had and they gave it back to Margaret who put it in the filing tray and it vanished to its proper place as they left to go shopping.

Harry needed yet another new wardrobe and some new toys for being a good boy, getting a whole bunch of stuff that Remus kind of sighed about. Remus bought Harry a bunch of picture books that were charmed not get ruined and some cloth blooks that had different textures that interested the little boy.

They went home after spending many galleons, their pockets full of shrunken packages and Sirius with a sleeping drooly baby in his arms.
