... erm..." Harry cut him off, looking mortified. "I know where babies come from, Sirius, we really don't need to have this conversation." Sirius nodded, looking a little relieved. "I never thought you didn't know, Harry, I just thought we should talk a little about... consequences. You and Ginny are still pretty young, all things considered, and I don't want you to get into anything you're not ready for." Harry's face turned bright red. "Sirius, we're not... I mean, we haven't..." He paused to give himself a moment to collect himself. He forced himself to meet his godfather's comforting gaze. "We're not ready for that, yet. We both know that we're young. I promise, we won't go any further than we're comfortable with." Sirius nodded, even more relief shining through. While he may not have liked the way it came about, he was grateful that Harry was such a mature young man. "I know you think that, now, but soon enough, you will want more. I'm probably not the best one to preach abstinence, but you know that it's not just about you. Consider Ginny's feelings as well, and if she says no, you listen, got it?" Harry nodded forcefully. "I'd never make her do anything she wasn't comfortable with," he stated firmly, looking horrified at the very thought. Sirius smiled.

I won't tell you to wait until you're older, or married, because that would make me a hypocrite. I just want to make sure you guys are safe." What followed was actually a pretty interesting mini lesson, as Sirius taught Harry both the contraceptive charm, and how to make two different potions: one that would prevent Ginny from getting pregnant if taken before they had sex, and that would prevent her from getting pregnant if taken the morning after, if for any reason Harry forgot to perform the charm, or Ginny hadn't taken the first potion. When Sirius got up to leave, Harry called out, stopping him as he reached the door. "Padfoot?" Sirius turned around, his hand still grasping the doorknob. Harry smiled. "Thanks," he said simply. Sirius nodded, smiling. "You're welcome, pup," he replied. "And if you have any questions, or need to talk, I'm here." Harry returned the smile, before Sirius extinguished the light and left the room. XXX The night before September First, Sirius visited him again, this time with Remus in tow. Sirius handed him a photo, smiling sadly. "We thought you might want to see this. I was going through some old boxes at Potter Manor, and I found this." Harry looked at it, studying the black and white image in front of him. He looked ...
