Hi everyone,
This is my first story I don't have a beta so understand the bad grammar and punctuation word can only do so much guys. This story is an AU story I have loved them for awhile now. This is also a Drarry story it will take a while to get there so please be patient guys. Also I only have Draco and Harry and Remus and Sirius as two characters getting together. I want to know your ideas on who else should get together also I am torn between making this a dumbles bashing story or making him a decent guy what do you think? I do want to make Ron and Ginny the bad guys but not Hermione cause she's my girl. Shoot me a review giving me your ideas and on with the story I hope you like it, it has taken me time to write it I have really tried to make it a good story.
Disclamer: I do not own Harry Potter sadly enough I just get to play with the characters I feel like.
Remus Lupin was sitting in the living room up late on Halloween night because he couldn't sleep for some reason. His boyfriend Sirius Black was sound asleep in bed and had been for most of the night since they got back from James and Lily Potters house celebrating with their god son. He looked at the paper that James made sure he took home with him but made sure not to open and was only to take it to Gringotts if something where to happen to them.
Remus and Sirius knew things where bad because Voldermort had this stupid idea that Harry was meant to kill them because Severus had heard a stupid seer say that he was supposed to. That little bat had run to his master and told him and Voldermort had blamed Harry and now wanted to kill his god son.
Now James, Lily and Harry where hiding out under a charm that only their friend peter knew the whereabouts to so they were safe. Lily had charmed the paper to glow and make a sound if something had happened to them. It was a smart idea just in case so Sirius and Remus always made sure to keep the papers within earshot.
James had also made sure to have Sirius promise on an oath that if anything where to happen to them that he was to not do anything stupid. James knew that if something where to happen that Sirius would do something stupid and get himself in trouble.
Remus grabbed the papers and walked up to the bedroom where his boyfriend was sleeping. He set the papers on the dresser, as he set the papers down this noise filled the room and you heard Lily's voice coming from the papers. "help get to the house something happened" her voice said.
Sirius had jumped up when he heard the noise and proceeded to get his clothes on and grab his wand. Remus stopped him for a second "we don't know what we will find, if it's something bad we don't freak out we grab what we can and come right back here" he told his boyfriend.
Sirius nodded his head, Remus looked "swear on a wizard's oath that you will come right back here and won't go off and do something Sirius" he said with a panic to his voice. Sirius knew this would make his boyfriend feel better so he did.
Together the appropriated in the field beside James and Lily's house, walking up to the house they saw the door blasted open. They ran inside, once they got there they saw James lying on the floor, they ran to him and Remus felt for a pulse he shook his head sadly.
Remus got up first and started to walk to the stairs "do you want to wait here and I will see if I can find Lily and Harry" he asked his boyfriend? Sirius jumped up at hearing his god son and walked with Remus up the steps.
They got to Harrys room and opened the door, they saw Lily laying on the floor against Harry's crib. Remus knew without having to feel a pulse that she was dead, he wanted to cry but he had other things to worry about right now.
Sirius walked over to the crib and saw his god son crying staring at his mother, he picked up Harry and walked over to Remus. They slowly walked downstairs, before walking out the door of the house to the fresh air of the night.
Once they were outside standing there was Albus Dumbledore, he smiled at them but both men knew not to trust that smile. He walked up to them and held out his hands "now boys give my Harry he will be safe at his aunt petunia's" he said with a twinkle in his eye.
Sirius and Remus both looked at the old man like he was nuts, they knew the woman Albus was talking about. First, she hated her sister, and second, she hated anything to do with magic. Remus told Albus as much and all the man could say was it would be safer for the boy because of Voldermort being dead now.
Remus growled "look Albus I respect you but I will not allow you to take Harry to a home where the people will hurt him physically and mentally because mark my words Petunia and her husband will" he said with conviction.
Sirius nodded his head "James and Lily wouldn't want that and we will not allow this, if you are truly as good as you say and for the light you will see that" He said to the old man. Sirius continued "if you did get your hands-on Harry I promise you we would just go and take him back, he will not be staying with nuggles at all" he said with a smile.
Both men decided that while Dumbledore was quiet they would appropriate away and home before the man knew what had happened. When they got home both men walked up the their bedroom and Sirius put Harry in the bassinet they kept in the bedroom.
Remus went to the folder and on top of it there was a note that wasn't there before, he knew that it was from Lily and James. He grabbed the note and took it over to Sirius and told him that they would read it in bed. They got into nightclothes and got back into bed after bridging the bassinet close to them, Remus began to read
Remus & Sirius,
If your reading this then that means that Peter betrayed us and we are gone, first please don't blame yourself. Sirius especially we know you will think it was your fault if you hadn't said to switch to peter then we would still be alive. Remus if you had only tried harder to kill the man yourself then we could have come out of hiding. We died protecting the one thing that means more to us then our lives. Your lives are about to change now, you will have a baby on your hands. We know you are probably wondering why you besides the obvious you both are his god fathers. Because you both will love him with all you have and will teach him to be a strong loving man. You will teach him everything we wanted to teach him, you will be able to tell him all about us. We might not be with him in the flesh but we are with him in spirit and in everything you guys do. Now in this folder you will see some papers you will need go to Gringotts as soon as possible, Lily says tomorrow guys. James's will be in here it's the first paper all it says is will, no one can read it but Gurlok the Potter manager at Gringotts. The second is Harry's Heritage Sheet. The third is a letter to Harry to give to him when he is older, you might want to be in the room it's kind of sappy Lily wrote it. Before I end this note I want you both to know that me and Lily love you both. James and Lily
Remus put the letter down on the night stand and wrapped his arms around Sirius and they both let the grief out that they had been holding. They both cried until the fell asleep, they gave themselves this one night to mourn and cry. They had a little boy who would need them strong in the morning, the world was about to change for them and they had to be ready for it.
The next day Remus got up and walked over to his god son's bassinet and saw he was up, he picked up Harry and carried him downstairs and into the kitchen. Remus sat him down on the highchair while he made breakfast for them.
Sirius woke up to the smell of pancakes and slowly got out of bed, he looked over at the bassinet finding it empty he freaked out for a second but heard a giggle downstairs and knew where Harry was.
Walking downstairs he saw his boyfriend putting some cut up pancakes in a plate onto Harry's highchair. He sat down and they started to eat and decided after they ate and got ready they would go to Gringotts and get the paperwork out of the way and then go shopping.
Remus looked at his boyfriend "I sent a letter to Gringotts stating that we would be for the reading of James Potters will" He told his boyfriend. Sirius nodded his head as he had a mouth full of food. Remus continued "I told them that James left the will in a stack of papers that no one can open but the Potter Manager, and we would be in soon" he said.
Sirius said ok and got up and told him he would give Harry a bath while Remus cleaned up the kitchen. Remus laughed and then groaned looking at the mess but started to clean anyways, after the kitchen was clean he went upstairs to get dressed himself.
Once they all were dressed they floo'ed to the Leaky Cauldron and went into Diagon Ally, they went straight to the bank. Once they were in Gringotts they asked for Gurlok the Potter Manager.
They were shown into a room and waited for the goblin to enter the room, 5 minutes later a goblin entered the room and introduced himself "hello my name is Gurlok I am the Potter Manager what can I do for you" he asked the men.
Remus pulled out the will and passed it to Gurlok "this is the will of James and Lily Potter who died last night at the hands of Voldermort" He said sadly. Gurlok took the paper and once he did the paper unrolled itself and you heard a light and paper appeared. He knew this will was to be a real one because that was the spell goblins used when someone came for a will made from them.
Gurlok was surprised at first because not many people got goblin made wills mostly because whatever was written in that will was iron clad as the muggles like to call it. Also, it was made by blood magic and because of that nothing in this could be made false.
Last Will in Testament of James Emmerson Potter
I James Emmerson Potter being of sound mind and not under any curses state that this is my last will in testament.
First, I want everyone to know that if this will be being read when Harry is a baby it means that Voldermort killed us. If that happened I need to say that Peter Pettigrew was our secret keeper not Sirius Black. We switched because we thought it would be safer. Now to the part of who gets the stuff…
To Remus Lupin I leave all the book in the Potter estate I know how much you loved the books when you visited mate. I also leave 1,000,000 Gillions, I know you're going to complain but I'm dead what am I going to do with all my money. Lastly, I want to thank you for being one of my best friends.
To Peter Pettigrew I leave Nothing but time in Azkaban, I hope you rot in hell for betraying your friends like you did. I gave you my friendship, Hell I even gave you a place to stay when your mom kicked you out and this is how you repay me.
To Sirius Black My brother from another mother, I leave 1,000,000 Gillions also, I also leave my broom and motorbike take care of them brother. You have been my friend from the first day we met on the train to Hogwarts on our first day. I have loved you like a brother since then.
To Harry Potter my son I leave everything in the Potter name, He being the last Potter is officially the last Heir to the line. Sorry kiddo that we had to leave you so early and didn't get a chance to get to see you grow up. Just know we loved you while we had you with all we had.
Finally, last order of business before this will is done who gets Harry James Potter. Lily and I sat down and though about it, she wants me to say it took forever for us to come to a decision. Really there was only one to make the most obvious one to make. We leave our son to Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, they are his God Fathers after all but not only because of that but because they love him and will teach him how to a wonderful man.
I leave you with one final word before I leave, don't mourn us celebrate the life we had, cherish our memories and share a joy with our son. Remember we love you all with everything we have and where blessed to know you
James Emerson Potter
Gurlok took out the second paper and slid it across from Remus and Sirius "this is the paper each of you will sign, it will make both of you the magical guardians of Harry James Potter" He told both men.
Remus looked at the paper "what about in the muggle world, and there isn't a way for anyone to try and take him away from us right" he asked the goblin?
"No when you sign these papers Harry will be both of your responsibilities, now if you both where to get married and wanted to adopt him by blood then we would do that here" he told both men.
Remus and Sirius looked at each other and took the paper and quill and signed it, a bright light shinned from the paper for a minute and then disappeared. Gurlok smiled "congratulations on becoming the guardians of Harry James Potter" he told both men as he took the paper and put it with the folder of the will.
Sirius looked at the goblin "what about the information about the secret keeper what will happen to that" he asked. Gurlok told them he would personally give it to the Diagonauthorities and make sure it was dealt with.
After making sure that the only people who could deal with the Potter vaults were Remus and Sirius and Harry they said goodbye to the goblin they walked out of Gringotts. Rather than going shopping at Ally they went to the muggle world.
Walking into the muggle world they went to get a beset, clothes and toys for Harry, they knew they didn't have enough to raise a baby. Remus made sure to get books so he could read to Harry every night before bed.
After hours of shopping they made it back home Remus went to put the stuff away in Harrys room while Sirius took Harry and set him in a play pen and started dinner. Once dinner was eaten and the bedroom was fixed up they sat down and watched Harry play with the new toys they had gotten him.
Remus and Sirius looked at the Harry playing with this toys laughing and knew that life was about to change for them. They now had a little boy to take care of and to make sure he grew up to be a good man. A man James and Lily could be proud of and a man who would make the Potter name proud.
Remus gave Harry a bath while Sirius picked out some pajama's and got a diaper ready for when Remus brought Harry back into the room. Once Harry was changed into his night clothes Remus picked out a book and sat in the chair with Harry in his lap and read him a book.
When the book was finished, Sirius put Harry in the crib and pulled the blanket over him and leaned down and kissed Harry, Remus did the same. They whispered they loved him and walked out the door and closed it slightly.
Remus put a charm on the door to let them know when Harry would cry so that they would be able to come and get him. They walked into their room and got into their night clothes and laid in bed.
Sirius pulled Remus against him and together they mourned the loss of their best friends. Both men knew this was the only night they would give themselves to cry and mourn because they had a kid raise.
When the sun came up tomorrow both men would wake up to a new life , they would celebrate the life of James and Lily Potter. Remus and Sirius would raise Harry like he was their own son because they knew that is what Lily and James would have wanted.
