A/N: Hey guys! So sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I went and fixed up chapter 1 a little. There wasn't anything really that I added, I just spaced out the sequence jumps. I thought I had done it originally, but I guess not. Anyhow, I have the first 10 chapters outlined! I can't promise that I'll post a chapter every week, but I'll do my best to post when I can! I just wanted to make sure y'all knew that I didn't forget about this! I'm also trying to go through all my other fics and edit, update, or take down whatever I feel necessary! Thanks for your patience and I hope you're still with me!

Hey guys! So, I'm excited! I wrote this after seeing a post on Facebook. EnterTheDreams/photos/a.239012502819791.70438.238536046200770/1021897611197939/?type=3&theater
It was originally posted on Tumblr by addictsitter so all credit to whoever credit is due. It is not an original idea of mine, I just jumped on it. Plus also, I don't own Harry Potter.
Rated T for language and probably later graphic scenes. Maybe?
Happy reading!
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
Little baby Harry gurgled happily at Sirius. The young man smiled at him, his black hair falling down, curtaining Harry's face as he placed a kiss on the baby's forehead.
"I'll see you later, little Marauder," Sirius whispered to Harry.
"We'll see you next week, Padfoot?" asked James, a hint of worry in his voice. Being in hiding was not fun. For the first time in eight years, James had to go long periods of time without seeing his best friend. Damn Dumbledore and his stupid restrictions.
"Don't worry, James. We'll never get rid of him easily," said Lily.
"You're just jealous that I was his first," Sirius said with a wink.
"Get outta here," Lily said, jokingly pushing him to the door.
"Prongs," Sirius said, thrusting his hand towards James.
"See you next week, brother," said James, holding up Harry's tiny hand, waving goodbye.
"Love you," Sirius said on his way out the door.
"We love you too," James said.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
"So, there's something I've been thinking about."
"Why so serious, Padfoot?"
"Because A, I'm Sirius, and B, I'm worried about you, Prongs. I think making me your secret keeper was a mistake."
"Come off it, Padfoot, you're my brother."
"Exactly, I'm the obvious choice, making you less protected."
James paused for a minute, contemplating Sirius's concern.
"I reckon you're right Pads. So what do you think we should do?"asked James.
"Make Peter your secret keeper," said Sirius.
James thought for a minute. On the one hand, Peter was Peter. On the other hand, Peter would be the least likely to be chosen. Nobody would expect it. James thought it through.
"Come on, Prongs, you're in danger, and, I can't lose you. You're the only family I have."
James put his hand on Sirius's shoulder.
"You won't lose us," said James, "I promise." He sighed, knowing that changing the secret keeper would be a battle. "Although, it will take convincing Lily and Dumbledore," James added.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Absolutely not," said Lily.
"Awe, come on, Flower, please."
"No. No way, no how. Just, no. And Albus agrees with me. Don't you, Albus?"
Lily looked at Dumbledore, giving him that look. The look that says I'm right, and you know it.
Dumbledore looked at her thoughtfully.
"I understand, of course, why you are reluctant to take Peter on as your secret keeper. But Sirius and James make interesting points. Nobody would ever expect us to choose Peter over Sirius."
Lily threw her hands up in the air.
"I can't believe this," she said.
"So we'll do it?" asked James.
"Yes," said Dumbledore.
"Alright," Sirius said, giving James a high five.
Dumbledore smiled while Lily rolled her eyes.
It wasn't often that Albus was wrong, but this… every part of Lily screamed that this was wrong.
A/N: Sorry for leaving it here. I will continue to work on this. I was originally going to write this as a one shot, but decided to make it a multi-chapter. I'll post as often as I can! Plus also, leave me a review and tell me how I'm doing! I love to hear from you!
