Harry waited until Madam Pomfrey went to bed before turning to Sirius. "Okay, time for some answers."
Sirius sighed and slipped into his human form. He cast a privacy charm, "What do you want to know?"
"What did you do just now?"
He chuckled, "Privacy charm, pup. Can't have Poppy over there seeing me like this, can we?"
The boy nodded, "What were my parents like?"
Sirius flopped onto the bed, pulling Harry down so he was laying on his chest. "Let's see. Your mum was absolutely brilliant. Smartest witch I ever knew, which made her that much more terrifying when her temper flared up. James was a prankster. We had this little group, the Marauders. James was kind of our leader. He came up with most of the ideas for our pranks. Of course, Remus was the one who got the four of us out of trouble the most."
"So, Mum was a Marauder too?"
"Not exactly..."
"Then who was the fourth member? My dad, you, and Remus make three, but you said 'the four of us.' So who's the fourth?"
The Animagus sighed, "Peter. The fourth member was a boy named Peter. He died around the same time your parents did."
"Oh."
There was silence for a minute, then- "Is Remus still alive? You've mentioned him a couple times now, will I ever get to meet him?"
Sirius hugged him, "I hope so. It's been so long, I don't know where he is now, but I hope he's okay. I want you to meet him."
Harry yawned, shifting in his godfather's arms.
"You should get some sleep. Pomfrey won't let you out for the feast if you're sleep deprived."
"But I have more questions."
"Honestly, I'd be a little disappointed if you didn't." Sirius kissed his hair, "I'm not going anywhere. Go to sleep, we have all summer for your questions."
Harry smiled a little, "Not all summer, my friends wanted me to go to their houses remember?"
"That's right." He grinned, "You've got good friends, pup. Now, sleep."
He hummed and cuddled up against his godfather, dropping off to sleep in a matter of minutes. Sirius waited until he was out before changing form and succumbing to sleep himself.
