``Are you sure about this Sirius?'' although Arthur was the one who asked the question, everyone, Molly wanted to do know the answer as well. ``Well, I would like to raise Harry on my own but I know I am not qualified for this big a responsibility. That's why I would like to ask you to help me with raising Harry.''. At this point Molly and Arthur were glad they sent the kids to another room, ``I don't think anyone in our family would have a problem with adding Harry to our numbers but are you sure that there's no else you have in mind?'' Molly and Arthur both had no problems with bringing up Harry as their own but they wanted to clear everything with Sirius now so there weren't any surprises later on. ``it's a bit complicated.'' Looking at Arthur and Molly's face, Sirius knew he would have to explain, ``Dumbledore already told me I wasn't in any condition to raise a child and even my Pure Blood Supremacist Grandfather, Pollux Black , he said the same thing but I didn't listen and it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either.'' Listening to Sirius, both Molly and Arthur knew that it wasn't that Sirius was bad with kids but that nothing in his life had prepared him for that experience.
His own family was cold and distant and the only experiences he had were of pranking, fighting and having fun. ``Basically you would be a great Godfather but until you yourself grow up, there shouldn't be a child in your care.'' Although Sirius was a little embarrassed at the painfully accurate assessment from Molly, he continued with his explanation, ``*ehm* I looked into several of my relatives but the only suitable ones told me that their family wouldn't be able to provide a suitable environment which could help Harry and I had to go look for the old goat again!''. Ignoring the way Sirius described the `great Albus Dumbledore', both Weasley Adults knew the environment Sirius's relatives were talking about. They had both seen the distrust Harry had for adults and the only place they had seen him comfortable with was with their children. while all of this happening in the living area, the kids were currently seated in Ron's room and were playing Exploding Snap. *Boom* hearing the explosion and looking at Fred holding his hand, Harry quickly came over and hurriedly asked him, ``Oh no! are you alright? Are you hurt?''.
Looking at the kind, caring and worried look in Harry's eyes, Fred actually felt bad for acting like the explosion hurt him when the Runic Ring had Protection Runes which could protect him from actual explosions! ``It's alright Harry.'' While giving Twin number one a slap in the back of the head,*smack*, Charlie calmed down Harry and said, ``These cards are for kids, so the explosions are actually just a loud sound.'' Fred showed his unhurt hand to convince the young boy and Harry instantly did something which melted the hearts of everyone, even the adults who had come up to check on the kids, he pouted! Charlie smiled at the `boy who lived' and said, ``That's not gonna work on us.'' Percy explained to the still pouting but confused Harry, ``We have a little sister, Ginny, she and her friend Luna are a year younger than you and Ron and I've gotta say their pouting has made us immune to it.'' Fred, George and Ron just nodded like what Percy said was a scientific fact and the adults standing outside just burst into laughter, ``Oh My God! This is too good!'' Sirius was the first to fall and Molly and Arthur couldn't contain it any longer and laughed out loud as well.
Five minutes later, the three adults were standing in front of Harry while Molly, Arthur and Sirius were jokingly apologising to Harry, to show to him that not all adults are the same, that he could trust them to acknowledge their mistakes and treat him as an individual and not as a `freak'. When dinner time came around, Harry and even Sirius was surprised at the dishes Molly had laid out on the table and both enjoyed dinner time with the Weasley Family. After that though came the time for some serious talk, ``Harry, how would like to come live with us for a while?''. The Weasley kids, which included Ginny now, were all surprised but quickly decided that they had no problems with it and were looking at Harry with happiness and eagerness in their eyes. Harry who hadn't left Ginny's side after she had offered him food off of her plate, even after they had left the dining table, looked at Sirius who hid his pain and just nodded looked down for a moment before saying, ``I'm sorry Mrs. Weasley but I don't want to leave Uncle Sirius alone. I don't want to abandon him after he just took me in.''
Looking at the conviction with which he said the words, everyone present knew that there wasn't any bribe they could give him that would make him change his mind. Sirius was at a loss for words and just got up and hugged Harry. After the hug, Sirius held back him emotions and said to him, ``You are a good kid and I love you with all my heart but we both know that this is a much better place for you to live.'' Harry had tears in his eyes but kept himself from crying and just shook his head and just held Sirius's arm to show his decision. The whole Weasley family, except for young Ginny, were holding back their tears and Ron who along with his family was getting overwhelmed by the emotions, once again thanked his Occlumency and quickly tried to think of a solution and it hit him. He coughed to get everyone's attention and said to Sirius and Harry, ``* ahem*, there might be a simple solution to this dilemma you guys are facing.''
