Did you ever wonder why Remus wasn't also Harry's godfather? I did and here is a little story that I am writing in my English class…

Reasons
"…And we wanted to tell you two first, that even though we're worried about Voldermort…we're pregnant!" James Potter said excitedly.
Both Sirius Black and Remus Lupin stared at him and his wife, Lily, uncomprehendingly. Sirius recovered first.
"Well, James, I always knew that you were experimental, now that both Lily and you are pregnant I assume you'll need some help around the house…"
He was cut off by Remus's hand covering his mouth.
"Congratulations! Do you know if it's a boy or girl yet?"
"When's the due date?" Sirius said as he removed Remus's hand.
"For James or me?" Lily replied jokingly, "July, it's a boy, Remus. Do you have any ideas for names?"
"Sirius!" Came the reply before a pillow flying from the other side of the room hit the speaker.
"James! Set a good example" Lily said in a mock-stern voice, "And you Sirius! A godfather should know better!"
"What?!" Sirius dropped the pillow he had been preparing to throw. "Me, a godfather?"
"Remus, you too, we'd like you two to be the godfathers of our first son. Would you do that?"
"Definitely!" Sirius yelled before gabbing Lily into a hug.
"Remus?" James said curiously, "Would you be the other god father?"
Remus looked at his friend, "I can't do that, I'm sorry but if anything ever happened to you too, I wouldn't be able to take your son because…because. Well what if I bit him!?"
"Oh Remus," Lily whispered, "we trust you and Sirius more than anyone in the world, even Peter."
"C'mon Moony, I'll take him than, you'd make an great godfather! You all ready teach which is more than I have patience for!"
They all looked at him, "I wish I could do this for you guys, but I can't, please understand."
"Whatever you want Moony," James said reassuringly, the others echoed his sentiments.
"I promise I'll always watch out for him, and when I'm teaching at Hogwarts I'll make sure that he doesn't get too few detentions!" His voice lightened and he laughed at the last part of what he said.
The atmosphere once more happy Lily scolded them for "causing a bad impression and he's not even close to being born yet!"
"Did you hear about Snape getting the teaching position?" James said, "I shudder to think about what kind of teacher he'll be."
"I think he'll be a great teacher." Remus said in a dead-pan voice.
"Moony? You sick or something?" Sirius said while James gave Remus an odd look.
"You didn't let me finish! I was going to say that he'll be a great teacher—to the slytherins!" Pillows flew wildly. "Truce! Truce!" Remus declared after a few minutes.
"Anyone for some hot chocolate?" Lily asked, "Let me get my wand and I'll get some. Yes, James, I know that I should always have my wand right next to me, and I will." She said smiling at her husband.
As the others filed into the kitchen Remus swung out the door for a moment, "Just getting some air" he called inside.
"I won't be your godfather in the books, but if you ever need me I'll be there." He whispered to the night sky before turning back inside with the grace of a wolf.
