Prologue

"What!"

Remus Lupin was pissed, no he was way passed pissed close to murderous. He couldn't believe his ears, he'd just been told Sirius had betrayed the Potters. It was completely insane, James and Sirius had been closer then Siamese twins since first year. Sirius was about as likely to become a Death Eater as Dumbledore was, maybe less so.

"This is completely insane this is Sirius we're talking about. He and Jamie were practically brothers. He's Emily's godfather for Merlin's sake. Why the hell would he betray Lily and James!" Remus shouted, his voice getting louder by the minute.

"Remus, he was their secret-keeper, nobody else could of told." Dumbledore said calmly, trying to reason with him.

"No! We have to be missing something. They must have switched secret-keepers or something."

"I'll look into it." Dumbledore promised.

"Thank you. Now, where is Emily? I'd like to take her home now."

"Emily will be staying with Lily's sister. She was taken to Privet Drive earlier this evening, and that is where she will remain." Dumbledore told him sadly, knowing he was in for a fight, but hoping he'd see reason.

"What! You can't leave her with Petunia. She hates magic, and she hated Lily. Merlin only knows what she might do to Emily."

"When Lily Potter died to save her daughter she left a blood protection. As long as she can call number four privet drive home, Voldemort and his followers cant get to her"

"BLOOD PROTECTIONS BE DAMNED! She may be safe from Voldemort, but what about her relatives and other muggles? Petunia treated Lily like dirt, what makes you think she'll treat Emily any better! She'll probably treat her worse."

"I'm sorry Remus, it's the best place for her right now." Dumbledore sighed defeatedly.

"No! The best place for her is with me and you know it. Lil's and Jamie left Guardianship to Sirius and I if something were to happen to them. And you're well aware of it! This is far from over Dumbledore" Remus hissed, walking out of the office slamming the door behind him.
