Harry got up a bit early and noticed that Alaya had already transformed back to her human form but Moony hadn't. He went to the place where she usually kept her clothes before the transformation, got it for her, and woke her up. She went behind a bush and put them on while Harry got a blanket for Moony from the same place he got the clothes from and covered his uncle once the man transformed back.

Sirius finally got to meet Alaya. "Hello Alaya. I'm Sirius." He introduced himself as he extended his hand. Alaya peeked from the hiding place behind Harry as she was a head shorter than her brother. She looked at Harry. "Go on, Aly. He's not going to do anything." Assured Harry. She then came out from behind Harry and gave Sirius a hug instead of just shaking his hand. Sirius was surprised by this gesture. But he returned the hug by placing a hand on her head as a protective gesture and the other around her waist.

"Hello Uncle Sirius." She whispered into his ear and looked at the man but didn't break off the hug. She only saw a fatherly love glistening out of the older man's eyes. Harry too went towards the duo and hugged them. Sirius removed the hand from Alaya's head and held Harry around his waist.

They broke their hug and sat on the ground next to a sleeping Remus. Alaya immediately made a move to sit on Sirius' lap while Harry sat on the ground next to them. "Alaya, you know what, we won't have to go back to the Dursleys anymore. Sirius is going to be free as Pettigrew is caught." Said Harry in an excited voice. Alaya's face lit up with happiness. "No more Dursleys?" she asked softly and looked between Harry and Sirius. "Yes princess. No more Dursleys. You and Harry going to stay with me and Remus." Said Sirius, happiness betrayed by his voice.

She hugged Sirius again and this time, Harry too joined them almost immediately. They broke the hug to Remus getting up. Harry went to help the man up along with Sirius, while Alaya went to get his clothes. She gave the man his privacy by turning around as Harry and Sirius helped him wear the clothes. Once done, she went towards Remus and joined her brother in giving him a hug. Both of them whispered into his ears "Hello Uncle Moony."
