Full Circle(Tomarry)

Chapter 9.

"You've made a friend!" Harry beamed when Tom tells him over the mirror. "Tommy boy is growing up so fast~!"

"Tommy boy also has an untraceable wand that knows a few little hexes." Tom rolled his eyes, then looked contemplative. "I didn't really expect that out of Krum, to be quite honest. He's different than I thought."

Harry nodded empathetically, "I wasn't close to him the first time around, so I'm a little surprised, but at the same time it does seem to be in his character to do such a thing."

"Could be worse, I suppose," Tom grumbled. "He's already invited me to the Quidditch World Cup Final next summer, regardless if Bulgaria makes it there."

"I think Draco and Ron are going to fight over who gets to take me," Harry says brightly, "I hope they do."

Tom snorts. "Your mutt of a godfather is likely to take you either way." Which was very true. The Ministry was going to be bending backwards for him for quite a long time.

"Speaking of Sirius, he's been a little tight lipped in his last few letters. Like he has a secret that he's trying really hard not to slip."

"Maybe he got you a puppy. Well, an actual puppy, not one disguised as himself."

.

Sirius did not get him a puppy. But close.

Harry peered up at Remus Lupin, who had greeted them at the door, Sirius and Harry having just come back from King's Cross. The scarred man smiled unsurely at Harry and sent a worried glance at Sirius as he wrung his hands on the apron he was wearing. He looked like a step-mother worried about interloping a two-person family.

Holy shit , Sirius.

Sirius grinned, though a hint of concern showed on his face. "Harry, this is Remus." He paused , then sheepishly said, "I don't know if you remember, but he was one of the Marauders, too. Lily's favorite, actually, well, other than your father, but it's hard to tell sometimes because James and I did a lot of shit and so Remus and Lily were like two exasperated wives and uh. So. I hope you don't mind. He's going to be staying with us?"

When Harry just blinked at the two of them, he could see the anxiety bubble up in Remus, and aw . He missed this man.

"With the way you were trying to clearly hide something in your letters, I thought you, I dunno, got an illegal pet or something." Harry hummed as he looked Remus up and down for show. "Not a werewolf house-husband. S'cool though. I hear they're wild in bed."

Remus turned red and choked while Sirius went from relieved to wailing "You're twelve !" in point two seconds flat.

"Welcome to the family, Remus!" Harry grinned like the wicked child he was. "I hope you two soundproofed your room!"

.

"Aw, come on!" Harry groaned at the Daily Prophet's headline. 'Convicted Death Eater Bellatrix Lestrange Escapes Azkaban!' it proclaims in big bold letters, a picture of a madly cackling Bellatrix under it. "How the hell did she even manage that?!"

"How did who manage what?" Sirius yawned, shuffling blearily into the dining room.

"Your crazy cousin got out of Azkaban."
