Harry was sitting on the couch slowly drinking his water in front of the fire while Sirius went to go fetch Harry's glasses.

Sirius turned on the light to Harry's room noticing that the sheets were almost off the bed starting to form a messy pile on the ground. As Sirius picked up the pile of sheets and covered Harry's bed so it looked nice, he located Harry's glasses seeing that they were on his night stand.

He made his way over to the other side of the bed to retrieve them but was stopped in his tracks when he saw a picture frame face down on the floor. Harry must have knocked it over when he got up, Sirius thought. He bent down and picked it up, he flipped it over and was taken aback when he saw that it was a photo of Lily and James. He watched as they moved around in the photo with smiles on their faces, Sirius wanting them to be here so they could all enjoy each other's company once more.

Sirius gave a sad smile placing the photo back in its place on top of Harry's nightstand. Sirius grabbed Harry's glasses and one of his blankets bringing it down stairs and giving Harry his glasses.

"I want to show you something, Harry" Sirius made a motion with his hand for Harry to follow.

Harry got up from the couch putting his glasses on following Sirius to the stairs, he noticed that Sirius had a blanket in his hand.

They made it to the platform with Sirius' room, they walked down the long hall past Sirius' and Regulus' room. Harry was following behind Sirius; Harry looked around at the new part of the house he had never seen. The lights that lined the walls were the same as everywhere else and so were the floors and the ceiling, but he noticed that the wall paper was different. Nowhere else in the house had he seen this wall paper but on this level, well he hasn't exactly explored the whole house ethier. But before he could draw any conclusions Sirius had stopped in front of a door Harry had also never seen.

It was the same as all the other doors but the only difference was the name plate on it that labeled the room Observatory. He watched as Sirius moved his hand down to the golden door knob twisting it and opening the door.

Harry was expecting to see what was beyond the door to be interesting but it was only a set of stairs that went up and split both ways, to the right and left.

Sirius pulled out his wand and muttered "lumos"

Sirius turned to face Harry "I haven't been up here since I left, but it was the one place I could go to clear my head" Sirius said with a smile.

Harry nodded back with a slight smile, seeing the excitement in his face.

Sirius turned back around and led the way "You'll love it."

Harry watched as Sirius made it to the end of the steps that led to another door, Harry noticed that there was a slight glow coming from the crack under the door. Sirius unlocked the door and held it open waiting for Harry to enter.

Immediately Harry was hit with the midnight sky shining through big windows that took up almost a whole wall. He looked towards Sirius a little worriedly, Sirius' gave a gentle smile and gave Harry a nod telling him to go in.

Harry stepped into the room noticing the light from the midnight sky outside bouncing off different pieces of furniture. He heard Sirius close the door behind him and mumble something which set the lamps a flame, lighting up the room.

Harry could see everything around him now, to his left there were book shelves that lined two of the walls reaching up to the ceilings, between them were a couple of tables and lounging. In front of him multiple telescopes lined up in front of the big windows that surrounded the doors that lead to a balcony outside. To his right an astronomical clock was mounted on the wall taking most of it up. Multiple tapestries lined the walls as well from phases of the moon to planetary rotations. But what stuck out to Harry the most was in the middle of the room, he noticed that there was a globe surrounded by multiple lounge chairs.

He watched as Sirius came from behind him and moved towards the globe beckoning Harry over.

Harry approached the globe in the center of the room, he noticed that it wasn't an ordinary globe, instead of having all of the continents and countries labeled it was all black. But what was it that Sirius wanted him to see he questioned himself.

---

Sirius could see the confusion on Harry's face as he looked up at him from the globe, this made him smile "Just tap the globe twice."

Harry tapped the globe once and all of the lights dimmed slowly and curtains blocked the windows keeping the light out.

Harry looked back at him with a suspicious look, "Well, press it again" Sirius said with a chuckle looking up towards the ceiling as the room went dark again.

When Harry pressed the globe again the ceiling sparkled with multiple white dots that made it look like the ceiling had opened up so that they could see the night sky. The globe shined with thousands of stars the glow of the globe painting on to the skin of Sirius and Harry.

This was Sirius' favorite room in the whole house, the beauty of the stars reminding him of Remus knowing that he would love it here. Sirius placed his hand on the globe rotating it changing the positions of the stars on the globe and the ceiling.

Sirius looked over at Harry seeing his amazed face glow from the light and create a reflection in his glasses. This made him wish he would have shown this to him earlier.

Sirius heard Harry say "It's amazing" in a low voice still looking at the ceiling awe struck.

"It's about the only amazing thing in this house," Sirius said a little grim.

Sirius looked back at the globe noticing that Harry was looking back up at the ceiling but faltered his gaze to his feet.

"Sirius," Harry said voice still low.

"Yes, Harry," Sirius said gently, hearing the sadness in Harry's voice.

"I-Im...I'm scared Sirius," Harry said, remembering what Remus told him. looked into his Godfather's eyes, seeing his slight smile waver.

"Why are you scared?" Sirius knew this was about his nightmare but he didn't want to push Harry if he wasn't fully ready.

"I'm scared that I'll hurt you or Remus like I hurt like I hurt Mr. Weasley" Harry said defeated, looking down.

"Harry , what happened to Mr. Weasley wasn't your fault, it was a vision you couldn't control what was happening" Sirius said putting a hand on Harry's shoulder. "And if me or Remus get hurt it won't be your fault either."

"I-I just can't sleep" Harry sounded frustrated with himself.

Sirius wrapped his arm around Harry's shoulder and pulled him into a side hug "I know, That's why I brought you here to get your mind off things."

"Thanks Sirius," He said, looking up at Sirius with a grateful smile.

--------------------------------------------------

Sirius and Harry were laying on a blanket on the floor looking up at the enchanted ceiling. Sirius would point out the different constellations while Harry tried to figure out which ones Sirius was talking about.

As it grew further into the night Harry grew more tired eventually nodding off while trying to listen to one of Sirius' stories. Sirius didn't take offence to Harry falling asleep in the middle of his story how could he the boy looked so tired, he needed rest.

Sirius leaned over towards Harry and took off his glasses, placing them on them in his pocket to give to Harry when he woke up.

Sirius would miss Remus when he came in at the early hours of the morning though, he said that he would help Remus clean up from the full moon if he had any new scars. But Sirius knew that Remus was one of the most understanding people and would say it's fine, also he would be very tired and just want to sleep.
