The Full Moon

Author's Note: I don't own Harry Potter!!!

Several days went by, full of exploring, helping Fiona with her potions, watching magic, and playing with Sirius as Padfoot. Harry loved making the funny colored potions, but he noticed that Moony seemed to be getting sick. This worried him.

One morning, Aunt Fiona told him too pack some clothes and whatever toys he wanted to bring with him to the Burrow. She said he was going to stay there for a few nights.

"Is this because Moony's getting sick?" Harry asked as she helped him pack a small bag.

Fiona paused in her packing "Yes, Harry, it is."

"Can't I stay here, I can stay out of the way, I can help!" Harry protested.

"Not this time, Harry, I'm sorry. But it's just not safe."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked, confused.

"Well, you see, Harry, when Moony gets sick it's very contagious and dangerous. He sort of turns into another person when he's sick." Fiona tried to explain without telling the whole truth "Do you understand?"

Harry sighed and nodded sadly "I guess so."

"Are you all packed, pup?" Sirius asked, walking into Harry's room "Ready to spend some time with the Weasleys?"

"Will Moony be okay?" Harry asked.

Fiona and Sirius shared a glance and Sirius joined Harry on the floor "Of course he will be, Harry,  he's got Fiona and I to look after him."

Harry nodded and picked up his bag.

"Ready?" Fiona asked.

Harry nodded again and followed his Godfather out the door and downstairs.

Sirius picked him up and stepped into the fireplace, calling out "The Burrow!"

At the Burrow

"Hello, Harry, Sirius!" Molly Weasley squeezed the life out of the two boys "Come in! Are you hungry? I just finished making breakfast. Would you like to join us? We have plenty."

"Thank you, Molly, but I'd better get back." Sirius smiled.

"Oh, are you sure you won't even stay for some toast?"

"No, no...okay, I can't say no to your food, Molly." Sirius threw his hands up and laughed.

"Wonderful!" Molly led them into the kitchen and got out some plates "Now, I've talked to the boys and Ginny about treating Harry like a normal boy. I think the boys understood but Ginny's still a little starstruck."

"That's alright, I think Harry understands that. Don't you, pup?"

Harry's mouth was full of bacon but he nodded "Mm-hmm."

Molly and Sirius laughed at his silliness.

"Good," Molly said, still chuckling.

The Weasley children came downstairs in a rush,  joined the breakfast table, and started to eat anything they could get their hands on. Ron was scarfing down pancakes, Fred and George were devouring pieces of toast, and Bill and Charlie were wolfing down bacon. Ginny and Percy were eating apples a little more daintily.

Suddenly, Ron noticed Harry and Sirius sitting at the table with them and choked on his pancakes.

"Harry Potter!" Ron's mouth was still full and bits of food spilt from his lips as he tried to talk.
