October 31st, 1981

Dumbledore stood with McGonagall and Hagrid outside the house on Privet Drive. Hagrid came down from the sky on the motorbike with a interesting new addition of a sidecar. He landed gently and when McGonagall walked up to him she noticed three babies in the sidecar instead of one.

"Hagrid, who are these other children?" McGonagall asked.

"Sittin' there with Harry." Hagrid said.

"Ah, yes they seem to be Sirius Black's son, Aries." Dumbledore said walking over to the side car. He looked inside to see the infant boy smiling back at him.

"And young Remus' daughter, Emily." Dumbledore folded the blanket that Hagrid had placed in over the girl who seemed to be falling back asleep.

"Harry was sleepin' the entire ride. But little guy was lovin' it, and poor sweetheart was terrified." Hagrid said, smiling down on the infants.

A noise was heard from the end of the street, and Dumbledore quickly took Harry from Hagrid and placed him on the doorstep of 4 Privet Drive. He set a note down, on him and then the three quickly left the street to a nearby children's park to talk about the remaining infants.

"But Albus, Black-" McGonagall began but was interrupted. Despite everything, she did believe Sirius Black was innocent. And though she wouldn't say it bothered her slightly she was not aware of these children ever being born.

"I know, Minevra." He said.

"Where's Remus Lupin, surely he would take care of Black's son." McGonagall said, remembering he was the smartest of the four during their school years.

"You won't find him, Minevra. Young Mr. Lupin has lost his three best friends today, on all means we know better than any others he cannot safely raise two magical children by himself." Dumbledore said and the two nodded.

"Where will they go? Certainly neither of Black's cousins would take them." McGonagall said.

"Are ya kiddin' me? Ain't no way they livin' with the Malfoys. Raise em meself, on that count." Hagrid said.

"No, not the Malfoys and certainly not the eldest Black sister. But there was a third daughter, you remember?" Dumbledore knew very well that she remembered.

"Andromeda, she was burned off the tree for marrying that muggleborn." McGonagall said.

"But Professor, sir, what will they know of what happened? Of their fathers friendship? And will they know about Harry?" Hagrid asked, remembering the countless times Remus, James, and Sirius came to his small little hut.

"In time they will learn, for now they just need a home." Dumbledore said.
