Prologue: The Article

PETER PETTIGREW ALIVE?!
By Rita Skeeter

Yesterday afternoon, a group of Death-Eaters attacked
Hogsmeade. Twelve out of the Fifteen that assaulted
the village were caught and sent to trial. Pettigrew, who
was supposedly dead, murdered by Sirius Black, is now
found out to be a supporter of You-Know-Who. While
under Veritaserum he told the Aurors that he was James
and Lily Potter's secret keeper instead of Black as every-
body had been led to believe.
Sirius Black along with his friend Remus Lupin, a known
werewolf, have been missing since the Potter's death and
it's rumored that they have been raising Harry Potter and
their own children, Tristan Black and Caleb Lupin.

Black and Lupin who had been convicted of killing the
Potters', Pettigrew, thirteen muggles, and their wives' Kate
Black and Maggie Lupin, fourteen years ago, were cleared
of all charges this morning by the Minister of Magic, Corn-
elius Fudge.
Nobody knows for certain where Black, Lupin, their kids,
or the orphaned Harry Potter are, although there have
been several claims of seeing them, but none of the repo-
rts have led anywhere.
Today is Harry Potter's fifteenth birthday, hopefully he and
his friends might be able to celebrate this day out of hiding

Chapter One: Diagon Alley Here We Come!

Sirius Black stood in the small, white washed, blue tiled kitchen of the tiny cabin, shocked. He stared at the paper in his trembling hands, thoughts running wild through his head.

He winced as he read his wife's name, his heart ached painfully when he thought about her, but then he felt both anger and joy as he realized that the person responsible for her death was now in prison for life, if he didn't get the Dementor's Kiss.

"Dad?" A voice called from the hallway, snapping Sirius out of his reverie. "Hey, dad, we're going to play football, you want to come?"

A tall, handsome teenage boy with black hair and grey eyes walked into the room, where his father was standing holding a newspaper.

"Get everybody in here, Tristan." Sirius told him, a bright grin on his usually somber features.

"Um, sure." Tristan said uncertainly, a mildly confused expression crossing his face. Doing as his farther asked, he bounded down the carpeted hallway to the slightly uneven staircase that led to the upper floor.

"Hey, Tsavo, Swift, get down here!" He shouted up them.

The sound of a door opening then closing came from upstairs followed by footsteps.

"What is it, Shadow?"

Two other teenagers appeared at the top of the stairs. One of them had pitch-black hair and brilliant green eyes. He was as tall as Tristan who stood at 6' 1" and had a lean, but strong and muscular build.

The other had brown hair and sharp, crystal blue eyes. He was about 6' and slightly slimmer than the other two boys and he was carrying a worn football (soccer ball) under his arm.

"Dad just said to get everyone." Tristan replied with a shrug. He looked at the boy with blue eyes. "Where's uncle Moony?"

"He's outback already, we were just about to go outside too." He said and started descending the stairs with the other boy.

"Well, I'll go get him, you guy's go to the kitchen." Tristan told them and headed outside as his friends walked in the other direction.

"Uncle Padfoot, you wanted to see us?" The good-looking green-eyed boy asked the man that was now pacing up and down the kitchen in an excited rush.

"Wait till Moony gets here." Sirius said and continued his pacing.

"I am here, so what is it?" Another man walked in, followed by Tristan. He had brown hair, streaked with grey, and brown eyes.

"Look at this, Remus." He thrust the paper at the werewolf.

Remus read the headliner and his eyes widened, he finished reading and suddenly jumped up and shouted. A strange display of emotion from the normally quiet man. He and Sirius started capering hand in hand in a little dance of happiness around the room. All the while the teenagers looked on with looks of curiosity, amusement, and doubt, wondering if Sirius and Remus had finally lost it.

The brown-haired boy cleared his throat and said, "What exactly is it that got you guys so excited?"

"The best thing that could ever happen, Caleb." Remus told him and gave him the paper.

Caleb took the paper after handing the football to his father, with his friends leaning in so they could also see it.

"Oh my God." Tristan gasped and clapped a hand over his mouth. "I totally forgot your birthday, Harry."

"This is just wonderful, dad." Caleb exclaimed and threw his arms around Remus.

"Thank you, captain obvious." Tristan said sarcastically, but he was grinning.

"I just can't believe this." Harry breathed and collapsed into a chair at the table. He looked at Tristan. "You actually forgot my birthday?"

Tristan snorted and smacked Harry lightly on the head.

"Well, that now we don't have to be in hiding, we can go back into the wizarding world, can't we?" Caleb asked and sat beside Harry.

"I don't know, it's just so unexpected." Sirius said and reread the news article.

"We definitely need to go to Hogwarts and Diagon Alley." Remus told them. "We have to get jobs and the boys need to go to school."

"True, very true." Sirius murmured and raked his hand through his dark hair. "Well, I suppose we pack what little we've got and go to Diagon Alley. Get a room at the Leaky Cauldron, gets some money, enroll the kids at Hogwarts, and so forth."

"Can we go now?" Harry asked eagerly.

"I guess so." Remus said and blinked. "Wow, it seems almost surreal, doesn't it? Going back I mean."

"Yeah, it does." Sirius replied. "But damn it's a good feeling!"

Being in hiding, they had little chance of getting out to go shopping, so the packing took little time. The thing they had most of, were books. Tons of notebooks and a few paperbacks they had managed to get at used bookstores over the years.

As they couldn't have gone to Hogwarts, Sirius and Remus had done everything they could to give them an education. And the teenagers had loved learning, after reading all the books they had, they had wanted more.

Not only did they learn about magic from Padfoot and Moony, they also read about muggle studies.

Harry was fascinated by the healing arts. He knew some healing spells and charms, but he found it amazing how much non-magical people could accomplish with just their science.
Caleb liked animals. Whenever they moved and he found some stray dog or cat he wouldn't rest until it had a good home. Tristan enjoyed electronics, ever since he had seen a computer and a television in a library they had once been in, he had wanted to know more about them.

They were always curious, always wanting to learn as much as they could. Sirius had been surprised and Remus had been happy at how much they had enjoyed reading and studying anything they could get their hands on.

Remus, being the more studious of the two adults, had written down everything he remembered from his school days in notebooks and on scraps of parchment.

The teens had read the books faster than Remus ever could and had bugged him constantly about the next book, until he snapped and said that they were stalling him, after that they had left him alone.

While he finished writing, Harry, Tristan, and Caleb had spent their free time at the gym several miles away, taking martial arts and, out of boredom, dancing lessens.

Besides reading and the other lessons, they got Sirius to teach them how to become Animagus. Remus and Sirius had told the kids that it had taken them years to fully transform, so they were rather shocked when the boys managed it in little over a year.

Harry, Tristan, and Caleb finished packing their books, personal items, what little clothes they had, and anything else they wanted to take. They were talking excitedly and closing their pack backs when Remus came in.

"Alright, guys, I'll shrink your bags, then we'll leave." He told them. He looked really happy for the first time in years and much younger. But wouldn't you be ecstatic if you had been in hiding for fourteen years and were suddenly able to be out in public again without the fear of being sent to prison?

"How are we getting to Diagon Alley, uncle Moony?" Harry asked as Remus shrunk his pack along with the others.

"The Dame bus, it's a lot like the Knight bus only used in the day time." He replied and looked around, clapping his hands together. "Got everything you need? Okay, let's go."

They trooped downstairs, where Sirius was waiting, bouncing on his toes. As they were walking towards the door, a thought struck Harry.

"Do you think we should do something about our appearances?" Harry suggested. "I mean, I don't know about you, but I'm not looking forward to all the attention we're going to get." Growing up in near isolation had made him shy around large, or close together, crowds.

Just thinking about all the reporters who would most likely give their right arm for an interview with anyone of them made him slightly nauseous.

"That's a good idea." Remus said thoughtfully. "I glad you thought of it." He pulled out his wand and pointed it at Harry. A stream of silver sparks came out and when they hit him he had blond hair and brown eyes.

"Thanks." Harry said and pushed his new fringe out of his face.

Caleb went next and he ended up with reddish-brown hair, but he had the same blue eyes. Tristan got brown hair much wavy than his normal poker straight black and green eyes.

Sirius found himself with curly blond hair the same color as Harry's and grey eyes. Remus looked the most different when he got black hair due to the fact that all of them were used to seeing grey in his hair.

"Well, we don't look that much different," Remus said and pocketed his wand. "But nobody has seen us for years so I doubt anybody will recognize us."

"Can we go now?" Sirius whined like a little kid.

"Patience is a virtue." Remus told him.

"I've been waiting fourteen years, Moony, my patience ran out a hell of a long time ago."

They all walked outside of the hidden away cabin that had served as their home for two years and started heading for the road that led to a small village.

They laughed and joked until they were a couple of yards away from the cabin, feeling light and incredible happy. Once they stopped Sirius held out his wand and suddenly there was a loud BANG! Even though Sirius and Remus had been on the bus several times before, they all jumped at the sound.

A triple-decker, sky blue bus with silver lettering that said The Dame Bus, sitting in front of them. Suddenly a young girl, no older than Harry, Tristan, and Caleb, jumped out of the bus wearing a pale blue business jacket and knee-length skirt.

"Welcome to the Dame bus, emergency conveyance for the stranded wizard or witch. Just stick out you wand arm, step on board, and we can take you anywhere you want to go. My name is Amy Jones and I'll be your stewardess this morn -" She cut off her spiel when she saw the cute teenagers standing there with amused looks on their faces. She blushed then giggled. "Hi."

"Ah, yes. How much is it to go to London?" Remus asked politely.

"Oh, um, eleven Sickles." Amy replied absently, still not taking her eyes off the boys.

"Uh guys, do you have any money?" Remus asked worriedly as he pulled out some money. "I only have three Galleons and a few Knuts."

"That's alright." Amy said abruptly. The guys all looked at her. "It's been a slow day, so don't worry about it, it's on the house."

"Are you sure?" Remus questioned uncertainly.

Sirius kicked him swiftly in the ankle and whispered, "Don't ask questions, just do as she says."

Any giggled again. "Yeah, come on, I insist." She motioned them towards the bus and hopped back on.

"Well, I know I'm going with her." Harry said. Tristan and Caleb nodded and followed him onto the bus.

"Oh, I give up." Remus sighed and got on the bus with Sirius.

All along the walls were puffy white chairs that looked like clouds and in the back there was a delicate looking, silver railed staircase that to the upper levels of the bus.

"Cool." Caleb commented as he and his friends sat down in chairs closest to the front.

"Thank you." Amy said. "This is my aunt, May Winters, the driver." She nodded her head at another, older woman, who was sitting behind the steering wheel.

"Hello." May greeted them, smiling. "Where are you lot headed?"

"London." Amy answered for them. She looked at the guys. "Where exactly in London?"

"Diagon Alley." Sirius replied, looking out the window.

"Sure thing." May said and closed the doors. There was another BANG and everybody was thrown backwards into his or her seats as the bus apparated.

"So," Amy said, turning towards Harry with a small smile. "You got a girl?"

"Uh," Harry said and glanced at his friends for help. Tristan was frowning for some reason but Caleb, Sirius, and Remus were trying to hide their grins behind their hands.

Harry muttered, "Thanks a lot, guys."

A/N: Well, there's the first chapter of 'The Guardians'. I really want to know want you think about this plot, with Sirius and Remus having sons.
