Sirius' pov:
Remus and I had been sitting in the lounge, watching a film together, just casually chilling, when the door bell went off. "I'll get it, probably just some kids wanting sweets" I told him, placing a kiss on his forehead
"Ok, I need another fire whiskey anyway" he said, standing up, whilst I went to the front door
I expected to open the door to a bunch of children wanting sweets, I did not expect to see one Lily Evens, now Lily Potter, and my Godson
"Lily, what are you doing here? I thought you and James were in hiding" I asked, "We don't need to hid anymore" she said, "What do you mean?" I asked
"He's dead, Voldermort is dead" she said, "That's great, but where's James?" I asked him, "Dead" she said, letting some tears fall
"What?" I asked her, "He- he died saving Harry and I, the idiot didn't have his wand, and he died. He died Sirius, he's dead, my husbands dead" she said, full on crying now
I quickly pulled her in for a hug, "Come inside and have some water, come sit down Lily" I told her, bringing her inside
I brought her inside and sat her down on the sofa, when Remus came back in, "Hey Lily, where's J-" I dragged him out the room and took him into the kitchen
"James is dead. He did protecting them, she's a little upset. He died protecting them" I explained, "He's dead?" I nodded
"Yeah, he's dead"
"Sirius, are you ok, you two were brothers" he asked me, rubbing my arm, I nodded, "Yeah, well no, but we need to make sure Lily's ok, and we have to call James' parents, and stuff" I told him
"Sirius", "I'm fine Re, I promise. Just a little upset, but we need to make Lily a priority, she just lost her husband and father of her child" I told him, he kissed my forehead and nodded
I grabbed Lily a glass of water and we both headed back into the lounge to meet Lily, who was still sobbing and holding a sleeping Harry
"Hey Lils, have some water, I'll go put Harry to bed" I told her, passing her the glass of water, she nodded and passed me Harry
I headed upstairs and took Harry to his room, yes he has a room at ours, and put him down in his cot, "Night night little one" I told him before shutting the door and leaving the room
I went back downstairs and saw just Remus, "Where's Lily?" I asked him, "She went to bed, we're gonna talk properly in the morning, she just needs to calm down" he told me, I nodded, "We should probably go to bed to" I told him, he nodded
We both tidy the lounge before going to bed ourselves.
The next morning, I woke up to only me in the bed. I sat confused, before deciding to shower and get dressed
Once I was dressed, I checked on Harry, who was still sound asleep, before heading downstairs
Downstairs and saw Lily on the sofa, with Remus comforting her, and Dumbledore. "Professor" I said, making my presence known
"Ah, Mister Black, now we can start" he said, I looked at Remus confused, who just shrugged, so I sat down next to Remus
"So, now that Tom is gone, Harry is still in danger. There are still many of his followers that are still out there, and that will try and hurt Harry. Now, we need to come up with a plan to keep all four of you safe. Since we cannot use Godric's Hollow anymore, I was-"
"Why are we talking about this?" Remus asked, "Because we need to keep you and Harry alive. So"
"Please stop, I just lost a husband" Lily said, "She doesn't need this Dumbledore, she's been through enough in the past 12 hours" I told him, "Yes, but we need to move on and talk about more Harry and your safety"
"Move on? Move on?" Lily asked, "Don't tell me to move on Professor, you didn't just lose your husband because of when we decided to have a child, ok. You didn't just lose your husband on his favourite time of year, did you? You didn't have to hear your husband yell to you to run and take your only child. You are in no position to move on" she half yelled, causing Harry to start crying
"Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to check on my son" she said, before leaving the room and going up to Harry's room
Now, we were left in total silence, it was awkward to say the least. "Mister Lupin, Mister Black, if you would please talk to Miss Evens-"
"Potter. Her last name is Potter, and I think you should leave, Professor" Remus told him, pointing towards the door. He stood there for a few moments, but did leave
Once he left, I sat on the sofa next to Remus, cuddling into his side. "Dumbledore was bang out of line" Remus said, I nodded, "I feel bad for Lily, she needs time to mourn, not think about her and her son getting murdered" I told him
"Yeah, we should probably go make sure Lily's ok" I nodded and we both slowly got up and headed up to Harry's room, where we found Lily and Harry both sleeping in the rocking chair, Harry peacefully sleeping on Lily's chest
"That's not good for her back" Remus sighed, "Leave her, she needs this" I told him, grabbing his hand and taking him out the room
We both then decided to start to make a plan for James' funeral
"Lily, you ready?" Remus called out, "Yeah" she called back. I picked up a sleeping Harry, all dressed in black for James' funeral. The poor thing was only a year old and was about to bury his dad
Lily came down, in a little black dress. I passed her Harry, who she kissed on his head, before we made are way to the car
We got to the funeral, and saw James' parents and a few of our school mates, and McGonagall. "Remus, can you take Harry, I want to go talk to James' parents, Sirius, you coming?" she asked, I nodded and we both went over to James' parents
"Hell Mister and Mrs Potter" Lily smiled, "Dear, we've known each other long enough, call us by our names" Euphemia told her, "I mean Sirius has a habit calling us mum and dad" Fleamont said, I nodded, "Yep, James laughed when I first called you guys mum and dad, I was so embarrassed I ran up to his room. He came up to see if I was ok, he called me brother that day" I smiled
"And when he went 6 years repeatedly asking me out until I said yes" Lily smiled, "Yeah, he came back to the dorm smiling like an idiot and jumping up and down" I laughed
"He had the same reaction when I told him that I was pregnant" Lily laughed
We all spent an hour laughing about James' idiotic antics, before we had to actually bury him. Harry must've noticed that something was up, as he clung onto Lily.
Once we had buried James, we headed back to mine and Remus', for a little gathering. Well, more like invite James' parents over for a cuppa.
When we got back to ours, Harry played with his blocks on the floor, whilst we all talked in lounge, making sure Harry didn't hurt himself
"You know, James and I wanted another" Lily said, playing with Harry's hair, "He wanted at least 5"
"James also wanted to have loads of children. To be honest, I wouldn't've minded for loads of grandbabies, but just having Harry is brilliant" Euphemia smiled
Lily nodded and smiled to.
Euphemia and Fleamont left at around 8, not long after Harry had fallen asleep on Remus' lap. Remus took Harry up to bed, whilst Lily and I tided up downstairs
"Sirius, can I tell you something?" Lily asked me, I nodded, "Yeah, course, what's up?" I asked her. "But you can't freak out, or yell, or tell Remus, ok?" she asked me, I nodded
"I'm pregnant" she told me, I opened my mouth and nodded. "Ok, interesting. Sure, cool, cool, cool"
"Sirius you're freaking out, aren't you?" she asked, "Yes, I'm freaking out, why wouldn't I be freaking out, did James know?" I asked her
"No, I was planning on telling him, but he died" she said, I nodded, "Right, so am I the first to know?" I asked, "No, Mary, Marlene, and Harry know" she says, "Harry's a year old, how does he know?" I asked, "Because in September he went through this faze of never wanting to leave my side, and when you don't have locks on your bathroom doors, he opens them" she said
"Right, so your gonna have James' child, or not?" I asked her, "That's why I'm talking to you" She told me
I nodded, "So you're talking to me about whether or not you want to keep your child?" I asked her, she nodded, "Yeah, do you think I should keep it, or not. I mean it feels weird raising James' child without him here" she asked
"I think you should keep the baby, I think you should. I mean, Harry can have a younger sibling, and you said it yourself, you and James had been trying for another" I told she, "Thank you Sirius, I appreciate it, now you are not allowed to tell Remus" she told me, "So the only person I can talk to about this in the house is you and Harry!" I asked
"Good luck" she told me before going up to bed
