“Did you bring a gift?” Little Harry jumps up and down like a tiny spring and Remus is helpless. He is not Sirius. He doesn't bring constant gifts, he has neither the money nor the energy. Besides, Sirius will be here in a minute, as soon as he has parked that ridiculous motorcycle. Bud disappointing the little one seems mean.

“Uhm... well, I brought you... Sirius. Right? And he'll bring a gift.. I think.”

“You two always come together!” The little one really gets perceptive these days.

“Uhm... we live together. Like... room-mates.”

“Like?” a voice pipes up in the background. James has impeccable timing. “Means, you are not?” They haven't been for a year, but strangely it never came up in a conversation.

“Well...” Remus is about as good in thinking up lies as he is in picking presents. “I... uh...”

Just then Sirius finally appears, throwing a little ball in the air where it scatters into millions and millions of sparkly pieces that form a Quidditch player on his broom, before forming back into a ball as they fall to the ground.

Harry is delighted. James... is cautious. “So what about this room-mate thing.”

Sirius is far bolder than Remus would ever be, and for more confident for their friendship. He grins, puts his chin on Remus' shoulder, than leans in for a kiss to his cheek with a mischievous grin. “Take a wild guess.”

Here's a list of all my fav Sirius & Harry fics. All of them have platonic/familial relationships. Listed by word count. Enjoy!

When Sirius finds his eight-year-old godson in the kitchen at midnight, he uncovers a lingering insecurity from Harry's time at the Dursleys.

Detention Time by Anonymous G, 2k

Harry’s hands cramp and shake as writes his lines on dotted paper. I must not tell lies. Each letter is painstakingly, properly formed, equal heights and properly rounded. Anything less would mean re-writing the entire page and Harry doesn’t want to do that. Across the room, Umbridge stares at Harry, her eyes appearing enlarged by the glasses perched at the end of her nose. “Keep writing, Potter.” A loud knock echoes around the room and Harry jumps, startled. “Stay put.” Umbridge scowls at him, and gets up to see who it is. She opens the classroom door. Oh, Merlin. It’s Sirius. ~~~ Aka. Sirius gets his godson away from Umbridge and makes sure Harry knows that he's loved.

Scars by arlenrose G, 5k

When Ron wakes Harry up from a nightmare about the graveyard, he urges Harry to talk to Sirius about it. The conversation between Harry and Sirius dredges up hurt feelings that both have been unwilling to address. Basically, the conversation they never had but probably should have, and a demonstration of Harry and Sirius as professional miscommunicators.

They're described as beautiful with sharp jawlines, pale skin, dark hair, dark eyes, and many being tall with "elegant structure." They're these gorgeous people, and hold themselves to a standard of being this Wizarding World Royalty.

However, they're fucked up at the same time. They have the crazy eyes. It's a coin toss on if they're insane or just severely traumatized; regardless of which, you get this weird feeling around them, because you know something is wrong.

They all look alike, too much a like; there's not enough genes in the pool to make them look too different after all. They look normal alone, but when you put them all together, this uncanny valley feeling settles in when you look at them all enough. Cousins looks like they could be siblings, children are nearly identical to their parents. No one looks the age you expect, everyone is either younger or older than you thought, because no one really looks.. right.

They have a ton of money, power, and connections, so if you look at them wrong for too long, something could happen to you. Just the power alone makes many fear them, but along with the unnerving appearance, being around them must have been complicated for many people.

They're also intelligent, raised with the finest tutors and access to ancient knowledge many could only dream of. If they can't spook you with looks or power, they can outsmart you and plot your downfall with magic alone, no connections involved.
