Chapter 20

Christmas was great. They had an amazing time, Annie never had a Christmas with that amount of people before, she loved it. For New Year's Eve, the Weasley went to the hospital to spend it with Mr. Weasley.
Hermione, Harry and Annie stayed with tonks, lupin, Sirius and Laura.
"So are you excited for the Ireland job?" Hermione a asked to Laura
"Oh yea I'm really excited. I know it will be less than a year, but it's the feeling of being away from home tho that gets me thrill" she answer.
"When you're leaving?" Harry asked
"2 weeks for now, i was hoping that you guys could help with choosing an hotel, so I can crash after you go back to  school"
"Nonsense. You can stay here all the time you need."Sirius said.
" I don't want to be an inconvenient..."
"You will Not be one" Sirius told her
The next couple of days they spend it all together at the house, one day before going back, Ginny, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Annie were in the living room talking while packing their things
"Damn I don't want to go back" Ron said " The TIMOS are almost there and I'm not prepared for that "
"If you actually study, you would be prepared" Hermione said
"Shhh, my mom will hear you, you're lucky Harry that those muggles don't care about your grades, you don't know the pressure I've" Ron said
"Well Sirius care about them." Hermione said "he would be proud if Harry ace them"
"Yea, he will probably take you to Ireland after that" Ginny said with a smirk on her face
"What you mean?" Harry asked
"Oh Common. You 2 won't tell me that you've not look how Laura and Sirius look each other" Ginny said while watching Annie and Harry
"God i thought I was the only one seeing it" Hermione said
"I'm lost" Ron said
"That's absurd.. I mean" Harry said "Annie..."
"Well I will be lying if I didn't thought about it, ever since we arrived I noticed it. And the other night when they were talking about my aunt staying her until she needs to leave for Ireland..." Annie said " I've seen my aunt flirting and it seems that it's happening"
"So your aunt and Sirius?" Ron asked confused "that makes you both?"
"Cousins Ron. Remember Sirius is my godfather not my relative" Harry said
"Right right" Ron said
"Well time will say what's gonna happen" Harry said and they continue packing.
When everyone was already ready to sleep, Annie left the room that Ginny and Hermione were sharing to go to sleep to the room that she and Laura were sharing too. In her way there she met with Sirius In the hallway
"Annie" he said a bit nervous "um ready to go back to Hogwarts?"
"Yea I'm"she said smiling "but I'm gonna miss here. I had amazing time"
"I glad you did, so your room, did you enjoy it?"
"Yes I did"
"Look Annie. Can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Yes sure, what's the matter?"
"As you may know I don't have a proper family,but this house is my legacy" he said walking through the hall with her " a legacy that I would like to give to someone important to me"
"Harry..." Annie deduce
"Exactly, harry. He is the closest thing to a son that I will ever have"
"I'm sure he will love to hear that.." she said smiling
"But. Even this house will belong to harry one day, I want you to know that from now and I'm sure that even after that day you're always welcome here"
"What you mean?"
" I mean that, I met your dad Annie. He was a great man. And even we were not friends he didn't mind after James took me in their house, plus he protect James until his last breath... I owe him, that room you're staying it, that's yours too, you can come here whenever you want, I want you to think of this house of your home here in England" he said smiling
"Sirius , I'm really thankful, I don't know what to say"
"Well a 'i will take it' will be enough"
"Yes Yes Of course I will take it" she said smiling
"Good now you should go to sleep" he said and she nodded before turning around "hey uh btw, your aunt she likes...."
"She likes red roses and sunflowers" she said smiling, he nodded and they both part to their directions.
