A Badgers Love

Chapter 10

"Hurry up, or I swear I'm leaving without you," Harry shouted up the stairs at his godfather.

"Relax Harry," Sirius said a moment later as he sauntered down the stairs with a grin on his face. "We have plenty of time. It's not even ten yet."

"I know, but Hermione and I agreed to meet up early to go over everything we need to in regards to our Head Boy and Girl duties," said Harry.

"I still can't believe it," said Sirius. "Head Boy... Just like James... Where did I go wrong with you?"

"Ha, ha," Harry said sarcastically while Sirius barked with laughter.

Harry had worked hard during his last two years of school, going from just a mediocre student, to third in his year. Hermione was first and Daphne Greengrass from Slytherin was second. It would seem that without constant threats on his life, poor teachers with grudges against his father and taken out on him, and ferrets walking around like the world owed them just for being alive, he did better in school.

"Okay Harry, in all seriousness now," Sirius said, trying not to smile and make the obvious joke. "With you being Head Boy this year, you will have your own room. And since you will have the privacy that isn't a broom cupboard, and now that you two are officially engaged, you two might be tempted to take your relationship further."

"Oh, please no," said Harry as he blushed. "We don't need to have this talk. Hannah and I both talked about it and we're waiting till we get married."

"I understand that," said Sirius as he sat down on the stairs and patted the spot next to him, where Harry sat. "But things happen that you don't plan on. Your hormones get going when you start snogging and the next thing you know, she's ripping your robes off and calling you 'daddy' while you spank her."

Harry looked at his godfather and arched his eyebrow. "Have some experience with that?" asked Harry.

"Well, there was a Ravenclaw," said Sirius. "That smart ones tend to be a little kinky."

Harry couldn't help it as his imagination took off on its own and he pictured Hermione in a skintight black leather suit and a whip while Neville was tied to a bed with a gag in his mouth. All the color drained from his face and he felt himself feel a little ill.

"Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is that things happen," said Sirius. "So here."

Sirius pulled out a vial full of a puke green looking liquid.

"What is it?" asked Harry as he took it and held it up to look at it more closely.

"Contraceptive potion for wizards," said Sirius. "It basically makes it so your little swimmers can't fertilize a witches egg. That should last till you come home for the Christmas holidays, so if something does happen between you two, you can go at it like bunnies and not have to worry about her getting pregnant."

The two of them sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Sirius?" Harry finally said.

"Yeah pup?" asked Sirius.

"Thanks," said Harry.

"Don't mention it,' said Sirius. "While I look forward to seeing your offspring one day, I don't fancy the idea of being a grand-godfather anytime soon."

"No, not just for this," said Harry, indicating the vial in his hand. "For, you know, everything over the last couple of years. I'd hate to think how my life would have turned out if you hadn't been around."
