Harry waited nervously in the conference room for his godfather to arrive his mind awash with a potent mixture of emotions and questions.

"Here I am!" Sirius shouted as he burst into the room.

"Godfather," Harry said tightly.

"Something wrong, Harry?" Sirius asked, slumping into a chair. "Would a little whisky help?" He passed his flask to the student.

"I want to know why you decided to get yourself put into stasis instead of taking care of me," Harry said, keeping tight control over his emotions.

"Because someone else was suppose to be taking care of you and-" he cut off before he accidentally blurted out what Remus had told him. "And I thought the best way to keep you safe was to be on hand to help deal with the dark dingus if he ever returned."

"So . . . so my parents didn't charge you with raising me before they died?" Harry asked half hopefully.

"Merlin no," Sirius laughed. "I mean, don't get me wrong, I was on the list of people that was supposed to take care of you if your parents kicked it, but I was no where near the top."

"Really?" Harry asked, perking up a bit as the idea that his godfather hadn't abandoned him to live with the Dursleys penetrated his mind.

"Yeah," Sirius agreed. "Yer mum was of the opinion that I wasn't responsible enough to be responsible for any living creature, well, not after the gerbil incident anyway." Had stated on more than one occasion that she was worried he'd take her son for his first visit to a brothel to celebrate getting his Hogwarts letter or something. Sirius mentally snorted, as if any boy he raised would be such a late bloomer.
