	Percy runs over and checks Harry over. "Are you okay
Harry? I still can't believe they took you four with
them." Percy glares at Sirius. "You, young man, should
watch your mouth. Or I'll take you in that room and do
what I did to Harry and what your father would do to
you if he knew you were talking back to an adult."
Percy's face goes pale and Ron can't help but snicker.
Percy had rarely been punished growing up. "You
wouldn't dare." Percy counters standing face to face
with Sirius. "Oh? Your parents said I had permission
to spank their son if he misbehaved but they didn't
specify which one." Percy stands down and looks
sheepish. "T-they didn't...but I'm an adult." Ron
snorts and glares at Percy. "Did that stop Fred and
George from being spanked for almost blowing up the
house?" Percy turns and glares at Ron. "Yes and if you
remember I have permission to spank you." Sirius puts
a hand in the way. "Only when he is in their care.
Right now _I_ am in charge of him. And I have NOT
given you permission." Percy glares and stomps away.

	Ron gives Sirius a smile of thanks. "He's been a real
jerk since we proved him wrong about his boss. Made my
life hell that summer." Sirius nods and ruffles Ron's
hair. Dumbledore comes over bringing a photographer
with him. "They would like a picture of the seven of
us." Harry groans. He hated having his picture taken
ever since second year. He sighs and looks at the four
chairs seated next to each other. The photographer
looks at what he has to work with. "How about the boys
in front and the adults in back." Everyone arranges
themselves. Harry sits on the end with Draco next to
him. Crabbe and Goyle sit on Draco's other side.
Sirius stands behind Harry and Draco, laying a gentle
hand on a Harry's shoulder. Harry looks up and smiles
then winces as he shifts his position. Snape stands
behind Draco and Crabbe. He reaches down and gives
Draco's shoulder a gentle squeeze. Draco looks up
shocked and gives him a questioning look. "We need to
talk Mister Malfoy." Draco Malfoy wasn't used to
hearing that tone of voice from Snape before and
gulps. "Yessir." He murmurs. Harry leans over and
whispers. "What did you do?" Draco looks up and
shrugs. He had no clue why Snape was angry with him.

	Once the photographer had his fill of pictures
everyone grabs a late supper and settles down. It is
then that Harry realizes Lupin is there also. "Hagrid
thought I was one of the best people to help. But you
seven had things under control by then. Harry, Sirius
told me he spanked you for disobedience." Harry
blushes and nods. "Yes Professor Lupin. He did." Harry
shifts in his seat again and eats his dinner. Out of
the corner of his eye he can see Snape and Draco
talking. Looking closer Harry can see that he is
crying but there is a smile on his face. After they're
done Snape gives Draco a hug and he runs over to join
them. "Snape's gonna adopt me. I'll actually have a
father that cares about me, not what I can do to help
Voldemort." Harry smiles and pats his shoulder.
"Better watch out. Sirius already told me that during
the school year if a teacher paddles me he'll take me
to his chambers and spank me before bed. I wouldn't be
surprised if Snape doesn't do the same thing." Draco
goes even whiter thinking about it. "Man my butt is
toast." Harry nods and they finish. When everything is
done Snape, Sirius, and Lupin come over. "All right
boys as I'm sure Draco told you Professor Snape is
going to adopt him. Harry to make things 100% legal I
will also adopt you." Harry smiles and nods. "Now
tomorrow the five of you should meet. Either here,
maybe in Gryffindor's common room, or in Hogsmeade.
You need to figure out what next year's Gryffindor
Quidditch team will do." All five boys nod their heads
and Harry and Draco put their heads together. "The
common room will give us privacy." Harry says and
Draco agrees. Sirius and Snape share a relieved look.
Sirius puts a hand on Harry's and Ron's shoulders.
"Come along. It's time to go home." Harry and Ron look
up at the clock and pout. "But Sirius it's only 7
o'clock we have four hours 'til curfew." Sirius growls
at Harry. "Yes it is, but you've had a busy day and
I'm not entirely sure I've given you a sore enough
bottom." Harry gulps and nods.

	All four say goodbye and make plans to come up after
breakfast the next day. It's a quiet walk back as each
is lost in their own thoughts. Ron is trying to cheer
Harry up from the threat Sirius which has made him
wary. At the same time, Lupin is trying to get Sirius
to calm down a little. When they arrive home Ron helps
Harry bring his new clothes upstairs along with their
books. Harry lays on his bed and starts crying
quietly. Ron ignores him realizing that if Harry
wanted to talk about it he would. Ron quietly makes
his way downstairs. When he arrives in the kitchen
Lupin is sitting there looking over the books he had
ordered for his classes. "Professor Lupin?" Lupin
looks up and Ron is surprised that he looks as
concerned as he feels. Ron sits down and sighs.
"Harry's crying up there. Sirius being mad at him is
hard for him." Lupin nods his head. "Sirius went for a
walk. He had gone upstairs and could hear him crying.
Ron, Sirius loves Harry and he wants to make sure he
learns right from wrong. Do you know what got him that
strapping?" Ron nods his head. "But at least he used
the cloak." Lupin's head snaps up. "That was the WORST
thing he could have done. What if there presence
caused him to pass out again?" Ron looks up and his
mouth forms an ‘O'. "I hadn't thought of that. But I
don't think Sirius mentioned that to Harry." Sirius
walks in the door looking disheveled. He looks at Ron.
"Is he still crying?" Ron shrugs his shoulders. "He
was a half hour ago when I came down. Sirius if you're
so upset because you were afraid he would collapse
under the cloak you should tell him. He's worried you
hate him." Sirius' head snaps up. "I could never hate
him. I love him. Doesn't the fact I want to adopt him
prove that?" A gasp from the stairs makes them look
up. Harry is standing there looking shocked. "I'm
sorry Sirius." He cries as he runs back up to his
room. Sirius sighs and stops Ron from following him.
"Why don't you two go do something." Ron glares at
him. "Ron I need to talk to him one on one. Father to
son. Being alone would probably be best. Please Ron
let me handle this. Please?" Ron nods and looks at
Lupin. Lupin stands up and puts an arm over his
shoulder. "Come on, we'll go have some butter beer.
Plus get Harry some candy also." Ron nods and they
both leave.

	Sirius quietly goes up to the room the boys are
sharing. He knocks and walks in. He is surprised to
find Harry packing. "I'll take what I can with me and
get the boys to help me tomorrow. Please don't send
Ron home. I'll get out of your way." Sirius grabs
Harry and pulls him over his knee. "Where do you think
you're going? Harry I LOVE you. You're my son by
everything but birth and you're not going anywhere."
He punctuates his lecture with swats to his bottom.
Harry yelps and squirms. "Y-you love me. B-but I
thought you hated me?" Sirius stands him up and Harry
reaches back to rub his bottom. "Harry you
misunderstood me. I could NEVER hate you. I was scared
for you." He says as he pulls Harry to his chest.
Harry puts his arms around his neck and cries into his
shoulder. Sirius just holds him close wishing he could
take all the pain from his son. After a few minutes
when Harry has stopped crying he pushes him back. "I
love you son. And NOTHING will ever change that. There
is nothing in the world you could do to change that.
Though I might not like some of the things you do and
I will show that displeasure to your bottom." He
smiles to lesson the bite of the that statement. Harry
gives him a small smile in return. "Yessir. I'm sorry
for everything I did. Whatever punishment you decide
upon I will not argue with." Sirius studies him for a
minute. Harry was feeling guilty and needed to purge
that guilt. He releases Harry's shoulders and leads
him over to the desk.

	After rummaging around he finds some blank parchment
papers. He takes a quill and writes out a line. ‘I
will not let my temper control my mouth.' Harry lets
out a yelp when Sirius sits him down and hands him the
quill. "500 times. And except for the restroom you may
not leave your room 'til they're done." Harry sighs
and starts in on them. "Legible Harry." Sirius scolds
as he leaves the room. When Lupin and Ron arrive back
later Sirius is reading over his books again. Ron
looks at him worriedly. "He's fine Ron. Got a small
spanking and is writing lines as punishment. Why don't
you take him up a drink and help him unpack again."
Ron starts to go then turns back. "Unpack again?" He
questions. Sirius sighs and gives him a small smile.
"Harry heard about half of our conversation and
thought I hated him so he started packing. I stopped
that in it's tracks." Ron nods. He wondered why Harry
had been spanked again. "Okay Professor Black. I'll
bring him a drink and see how he is doing."

	Ron goes upstairs and walks into the room. Harry
looks up briefly and sighs in relief. He was afraid
Sirius expected him to have them done already. "Hi
Ron. I'm guessing Sirius told you what happened?" Ron
nods and puts the drink down. "Harry don't worry about
Sirius' love for you. Every time he says something
about you hating him his eyes go moist." Harry hangs
his head. He wanted to make Sirius cry as much as he
wanted to face Voldemort again. "I need to find a way
to make it up to him. <SIGH> but I'm grounded 'til I
get these done. I'm not even halfway finished." Harry
stands up and stretches. He sticks his head out and
can hear Sirius and Lupin talking. He goes back in.
"Ron what can I do?" Ron thinks about a minute. "Well
when you've finished the lines try writing a letter of
apology. I've done it when I was grounded and couldn't
leave my room to apologize. It might work." Harry nods
and goes back to his lines. The only problem was, by
the time he was finished with his lines, his hand
hurt. But he starts the letter anyways.

	When he was done he leaves the room and goes down to
the kitchen. Lupin and Sirius are sitting there
talking. When he enters the room Sirius looks up. "I'm
sorry Dad. I couldn't figure out how to say it. So um
Ron suggested I write a letter. I'll be in my room."
Harry turns and finds himself pulled back and sat down
at the table. Sirius reads the letter and looks over
it at Harry who is intently studying his lap. Sirius
sighs and opens his arms. "Come here son." Harry looks
up and runs into Sirius' arms. Sirius pulls him into a
sitting position on his lap. He kisses Harry's scar
gently. "I will always, and can always, forgive you
son. How about the four of us go into town and see if
there's anything interesting going on?" Harry looks up
happily. "I'd like that Dad. Let me go put robes on
though." Sirius shakes his head. "You're fine in what
you're wearing but a jacket is recommended." Harry
nods and kisses Sirius' check.

	He runs upstairs and almost runs Ron over. Ron had
been seated on the stairs far enough down so he could
hear but far enough up so he couldn't be seen. Harry
and Ron go upstairs and grab their cloaks so they'll
be warm enough. He had a muggle jacket but he didn't
want to completely dress like one. Both boys come
downstairs and Sirius's motions to the chairs. "Boys I
want you to stay close. There will a lot of people out
and about at the celebration. I want you to stick
together at least and come back here by midnight at
the latest. Now no magic because your still under age.
So be careful and mindful of others. Okay?" Both boys
nod their heads. All four head out and everyone goes
gaga over Harry and Ron knowing they were the two that
mainly defeated Voldemort. Ron is slightly perturbed
to find that Percy is staying in Hogsmeade. Both boys
try to avoid him. Along the way they run into Cho and
her family. "So Harry did you hear? I'm head girl next
year. That'll make our lives interesting." Harry nods.
Mid fifth year he and Cho had started dating. It
wasn't TO serious but none-the-less they were a
couple. "Well if you'll be around for a while maybe we
can get together over the summer." A pout crosses
Cho's lips and Ron feels like a third wheel. "Harry go
on. I'll go back to the house or find Sirius and
Lupin." Harry shakes his head. "Dad was VERY specific
about us staying together. Ron, we'll both get into
trouble if we split up." Ron shakes his head. "Nah,
they'll never know. I'll see you later."

	Ron runs off and Harry and Cho walk around. At one
point Harry sees Sirius and ducks into a store. Cho
frowns and looks outside. "Why did we come in here?"
Harry looks up and gulps. "Because if Ron and I are
caught apart I'll be grounded for a LONG time." Harry
says hoping to shut her up. He knew being grounded
wasn't the worst of his worries. He knew his Dad would
probably give him a spanking also. To his horror a
hand lands on his shoulder and he looks up to see
Snape standing there. "Mr. Potter, in trouble
already?" Harry hangs his head as Snape catches
Sirius' eye and Sirius' comes inside. When he sees
Harry and no Ron his expression darkens. "Didn't I
tell you and Ron to stay together?" Harry nods his
head. "We ran into Cho and he felt like a third wheel.
So he went home. I think." Harry gulps as he sees
Lupin and Ron approaching. Harry's stomach starts
doing somersaults. Snape takes one look at Sirius' and
Lupin's faces and puts his hand on Cho's shoulder. "I
will escort Ms. Chang back to her parents. Say goodbye
children." Harry kisses Cho's cheek. "I'll come see
you when I'm off house arrest." Cho nods and kisses
him gently on the lips. "I'll wait for word." With
that Snape goes one way with Cho while Sirius, Harry,
Ron, and Lupin go the other.

	The walk back to the house is quiet. Neither boy
wanted to make their plight any worse. When they walk
in the door Harry and Ron try to make a b-line for
their room. "Hold it." Harry and Ron gulp. Two words
and they know they are dead. "Sit down boys." With a
heavy sigh both boys sit on the couch. Sirius stands
before the two bowed heads. "I'm very disappointed in
both of you. You can consider yourselves grounded."
Both boys groan. Being grounded at 16 was horrible.
"You will also be spanked soundly. Harry go to my room
and wait for me in the corner. Ron go to your room and
wait in the corner." Both boys obey and when the men
comes upstairs they are waiting.

	Sirius stops in the bathroom to grab the bathbrush.
He knows, because this is Harry's third spanking
today, he should be harder on the boy. He and Lupin
had decided Ron would be spanked with the hairbrush.
When Sirius enters his room he sees Harry standing
there obediently. He sighs He didn't want to spank his
son again. He walks over and pulls the chair away from
the desk. "Harry come here." Harry turns around then
thinks better of it when he sees the bathbrush. "Oh
no. Please not with that. You can ground me 'til I'm
30." Sirius sighs and puts the brush down and motions
him closer. With a strangled sob Harry goes over to
him. "What's wrong Harry? That shouldn't scare you
like this." Harry looks down and shakes his head. "My
Aunt Petunia used to use the bathbrush to make me wash
faster. She didn't care where she hit me. Lower back,
butt, thighs. She didn't care." Sirius sighs and holds
him close. "Okay I won't use the bathbrush on you. But
I will use a hairbrush." He stands up and retrieves
his hairbrush and goes back to the chair.

	Before sitting down he gives Harry a hug. He sits
down and uses his wand to lower Harry's jeans. With
one good pull on Harry's wrist Sirius pulls him face
down over his lap. "This spanking will be bare bottom.
Three spankings in one day." He sighs and pulls down
Harry's shorts. "I'm disappointed in you Harry. This
behavior has to stop." With that he raises the brush
and brings it down with a resounding SMACK. Sirius was
glad they had soundproofed the bedrooms. He continues
to spank his son until his bottom is a deep tomato
red. With a resigned sigh he picks up the container he
bought in Diagon Alley. It was a cream that caused
sore bottoms to remain sore. He gently rubs it in
ignoring the whimper from his son. Once it's rubbed in
he turns Harry over making sure he isn't sitting on
his bottom. With tear filled eyes Harry gives him a
questioning look. "That cream will ensure that your
bottom stays sore and painful for a couple days. Only
thing that will relieve the pain is the antidote. So
if you behave I will give it to you early. If not you
continue to have a sore bottom for the length of your
grounding."

	Harry nods his head laying it on Sirius' shoulder
wrapping his arms around Sirius for comfort. Sirius
hugs him back rocking him slightly and rubbing his
back. "I-I'm sorry that was necessary Dad. My behavior
was unacceptable and I know it." Sirius sighs and
wipes away his tears. "Yes, you behaved badly and have
been punished. You're grounded for a week. But your
meeting tomorrow at Hogwarts will still happen because
we will not leave you boys here alone. Lupin and I
have a meeting with Dumbledore tomorrow." Harry nods
his head and sighs. Suddenly a flash of white outside
the window catches his attention. With a hiss and a
moan Harry pulls up his underwear and pants and opens
the window for Hedwig. Hedwig flies in and holds out
her leg for the package to be removed. Harry removes
it and Hedwig nips his ear. Harry opens it to find a
form for him to fill out. "It's the paperwork I need
to sign for the adoption." Sirius nods and pulls him
into a hug. "I'm sorry that spanking was necessary
son. But we both know you deserved it." Harry nods his
head and sniffles into Sirius's shoulder. "Shh son.
Come on it's time for bed." Harry nods and walks with
Sirius to Harry's room.

	When they arrive Lupin is tucking a barely awake Ron
into bed. "Did you put the cream on his bottom?"
Sirius asks. Lupin nods and tucks Ron in gently.
"Sleep tight Ron." He kisses the top of his head and
leaves the room. Sirius tucks Harry in on his stomach.
"Sleep tight son. I love you." Harry yawns and
searches around blindly. "Dad where's my new teddy
bear?" Sirius looks around and finds him on top of his
suitcase. He hands it to him, a smile spreading across
his face as Harry pulls it close. "Love you too Dad."
~~~~~

	When morning comes Harry and Ron are woken up by Pig
showing up and annoying Hedwig. Harry throws a pillow
at Ron. "Ron wake up. Pig wants you." A bleary eyed
Ron looks up to get hit by Pig. He yawns and holds him
long enough to get the letter off. As soon as he is
free Pig sits on top of Hedwig's cage. Ron tosses it
on his bedstand. "I'll deal with that later." Ron
mutters. Harry focuses in on it for a second. "It's
not a howler is it?" Ron looks at it again. "It ain't
red. So I guess not." He yawns and falls back asleep.
By 10 AM Sirius comes in to rouse them. He pulls the
shade open. "Come on boys time to get up. Come on Ron
you've been waiting for that letter and you haven't
opened it?" Ron yawns and looks at it. "Yes." He
shouts as he opens it. "Mum said yes. I gotta get
dressed so I can go to work today."

	Harry looks at him strangely. "Work?" He asks Sirius.
"Yes. Ron has gotten a job at Fred's and George's
shop. He'll be working throughout the summer and on
weekends." Harry's head snaps up. "Since when can
students have jobs?" Sirius smiles and gives him a
hug. "It's considered a family business. So he can."
Harry smiles. "Just another excuse to go there."
Sirius glares at him. "Not for a week young man."
Harry groans. "But how can Ron be grounded then?"
Sirius sighs. "He will work only about 20 hours or so
during the summer. He wants to buy a Nimbus 2001."
Harry nods. "Hmm I should go see how my investment is
doing." Sirius' head snaps up. "What are you talking
about?" Harry gulps and rubs the back of his neck.
"Well, um, you remember how I won the Tri-wizard cup?"
Sirius nods and sits down pulling Harry so he is
standing in front of him. "Well, you see, Cedric's
family didn't want the money. And I had no need. So I
gave it to Fred and George. That's where they got the
money to start the shop." Harry didn't look up. He was
afraid Sirius would be mad. Sirius sighs and hugs
Harry. "Well I'm glad you found a use for the money.
Maybe, considering that, occasionally you can go to
the store also." Harry smiles and hugs him back. "Okay
Dad. I'll get dressed and be down in a minute." Harry
slowly dresses thinking about how much sitting at ALL
is going to hurt.

	Once dressed he goes downstairs to find Ron pulling
on his robes. But they weren't his Hogwarts robs. He
was wearing more of a dark blue instead of black. Ron
turns and smiles at Harry. "Fred and George wanted
something slightly different than Hogwarts robes. I'll
be back in time for supper that I know. Otherwise I
don't know. I know I'm grounded but PLEASE don't
embarrass me. Fred and George are being really nice
letting me work there." Sirius and Lupin nod and Ron
puts on the last piece of his uniform. It's a hat with
the store's symbol on it. "Looking good." Harry
comments as Ron bends down to grab the lunch Lupin had
made him. "Behave Ron and come up to the castle for
dinner. Okay?" Ron nods his head and gives Lupin a
quick hug of thanks.
