When Someone Does Something Right

Chapter 4

Warning~TOTAL CUTENESS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!

The next morning, Remus awoke to a knock on the door. He stumbled out of bed and pulled on a muggle bathrobe, but Sirius in dog form had already beaten him to the door. He opened it and saw a woman with pale blonde hair, just like the little girl to her right, and a dark haired little boy to her left. He had...

"The eyes," Remus gasped. "Oh, Harry." He knelt down and took his godson's hands in his own as Padfoot the dog started licking their faces. Harry giggled. "You have your mother's eyes," Remus said.

"Uncle Moony?" Harry asked.

Remus hugged the young boy.

A moment later, Pandora cleared her throat. "I hope you realize that we'll be asking you and Lord Black to adopt Harry as soon as you two have officialized your marriage."

"What? Really?" Remus was shocked. He had thought that his health condition (werewolfism) would keep them from taking care of their godson.

"Yes. Once your marriage is official, you and your husband can get legal custody of him."

"Please, come in. Padfoot, come with me for a moment. If you could excuse me, I'd like to consult my fiance before finalizing anything," Remus requested.

"Of course. It's nice to see you again, Sirius. I'm so glad you were found innocent," Pandora said to the large black dog. "Oh, and before you ask, Lily told me about him being an animagus."

"When?"

"Our last day at Hogwarts, during the party. You surely remember it. The one where everyone was drunk and Sirius proposed."

"Oh, that party." Remus sighed. "That was fun. Do you remember how James was so intoxicated he got himself stuck in his deer form?"

"To be fair, he did say he'd be going stag." Pandora and Remus laughed.

The dog wandered back to the bedroom.

"And then once he got back to human form, Lily finally kissed the arrogant toe rag, as she called him," Remus reminisced.

"And then he proposed," Pandora reminded.

Harry listened with wide eyes and open ears. He knew very little about his parents.

"And, of course, Lils said yes. I mean, who could resist the Marauder charisma?" a voice said from the doorway.

"Uncle Padfoot!" Harry exclaimed as he ran over and hugged his godfather's legs.

"Hi, Harry," Sirius said as he picked Harry up. He turned to Pandora. "So as soon as we get married, he's ours?"

She nodded.

"So if we have the wedding in...say...2 hours, we can adopt him today?" Sirius asked.

"Of course. Though you will have to wait 12 months for a blood adoption if you wish to do that in addition."

"But we can do the legal adoption today."

"Yep."

"Remus, let's go get married." Sirius grabbed Remus's hand and tried to drag him to the door.

"Sirius, I'm not dressed to go out."

Sirius looked at his fiance's fuzzy red bathrobe and black pajama pants.

"Oh."

"And it's not even eight am. The Ministry doesn't open until nine."

Sirius look sad. He gave Remus the (literal) puppy dog eyes.

"We'll be there when they open, then go adopt Harry."
