*Sirius laughed.* well of course! *he looked at Annabelle.* you wanna try apparating again? *sh nodded meekly, not really wanting to but she knew that she needed to get used to it.* ok...ready? *he took james's hand and they quickly apparated to the ice cream shop in hogsmead he smiled at Annabelle who looked as she had before, but at the site of ice cream her face lit up like the fourth of July. Sirius laughed.*

James ran in the store and started to decided which one he wanted.

"Hmm so many choices." James had lowered it down to Peppermint of chocolate;.

[ChoChangHP118]

*Sirius smiled and followed with Annabelle leaning on his shoulder. he walked in the store and messed with James's hair.* so buddy you figured out what you want?

[Shara2007]

"sort of I mean I lowered it down to peppermint or chocolate." James siad as he went to fix his hair his eyes never left the flavors.

[ChoChangHP118]

*Sirius smiled and looked at Annabelle's tired face.* and what do you want little girl? *she whispered strawberry in his ear and he ordered two. one for himself and one for her. he set them down on a table and put her in the chair. then he went over and waited for James.*

[Shara2007]

"I think i want Peppermint dad." James said smile he thought that their parents had worked it out.

[ChoChangHP118]

*Sirius smiled and ordered pepermint for james and handed it to him. he then payed with the little gold that he kept on him then sat down with them. not really sure what to say about everything with himself and Sarah.*

[Shara2007]

"thanks dad" James said taking a bite of his ice cream.

"where did you go today.I mean you left us there."

[ChoChangHP118]

*Sirius smiled. the perfect way to tell them, but how? he took a bite of his ice cream and thought for a moment, he placed down his spoon and looked at them both.* your mother and i... well, here's the thing... how do you guys... *he couldn't find the words.* i'm actually going to go to one of your cousin's houses for a little bit and you guys will stay with you mother for a bit. your cousin needs some help and we're gonna just hang out for a week or two. then i'll be back. and your mother wanted to have some time with you kids because she thinks i'm hogging you. *he smiled and Annabelle laughed through a bit of ice cream.*

hogging us *she smiled with her nose wrinkled.* dont worry daddy i dont mind if you hog me.

*Sirius smiled and wrapped her in a hug.* well then i'll hog you everyday right when i get back. its only fair that mommy gets a chance with her little angels.

[Shara2007]

James stared at his ice cream. He knew something was up but was not completely sure.

"Okay that fine." He was said since his dad had promised to help him with his powers but he had decided it was better to just leave it alone.

*Dad I know your lieing but I'll drop it for Annabelles sake.* James sent to his dad as he took another bite of his ice cream.

[ChoChangHP118]

*Sirius who had just taken a bit of his ice cream swallowed hard as he heard what James sent and coughed as the cold treat went down his throat.* what do you mean son? *he sent back smiling as Annabelle stuck ice cream on her noes and tried to lick it off.*

[Shara2007]

*well dad lets see.* James then took a bite of his ice cream before finishing *you told her that it was because you were hogging us. Come how can someone be hogging someone if they break promises and are never around*

James looked at him with tears forming in his eyes. He then left half eaten his Ice cream there since he did not want any more. *I mean you are always lieing to me and now you are doing it now to cover up the fact that you and mom might be getting a divore. I hate you. I mean this is all your fault*

[ChoChangHP118]

*Sirius set his spoon down and looked at James.* hey Annabelle sweaty, James and i are going to step outside one moment, you just finish eating ok.

*Annabelle nodded in reply because she had a mouthful of ice cream.*

*Sirius stood and walked outside.* James come here for a moment ok?

[Shara2007]

"fine" James followed him out the door.

"what lie you want to tell me this time." James siad as he stood there waiting to see what was going to happen.
