"James…" Sirius murmured, wiping his eyes as he walked through the destroyed Potter's house. "Oh God, no, James…" He fell to his knees next to his brother. He slapped him. "Wake up," He pleaded, "Wake up, you can't be dead. You have Harry. You have Lily. You can't be… James, wake up!"

"Sirius, you know they're dead…" Remus muttered from behind him. He wiped his eyes, too, as they stared at their brother laying on the floor, dead. They walked away when Sirius could no longer bear to see the sight. They walked up the stairs to Harry's room. They opened the door. Lily was laying lifeless in front of Harry's crib, tears running down her face.

"Oh my God," Remus muttered, looking up from Lily to Harry's crib. He was standing there, looking at his mother. "Sirius, look.. Harry.." Sirius stood up from beside Lily and stared at the crib.

"How?" He whispered, picking Harry up. "Oh, Harry…"

"Padfoot!" He cried, "Moony!" Remus's tears finally spilled over and he took Harry from Sirius's arms and held onto him as though his life depended on it.

"How in the world is Harry still alive?" Sirius whispered, looking around the room for Harry's emergency bag. Lily had packed it months ago, preparing for the worst. He spotted it by the door and looked around in it. Baby food, cereal, formula, bottles, clothes, diapers… everything was here. He walked over to the closet Sirius looked around again. He bent down and kissed Lily's forehead. "I'll take care of him, Lils, I promise." He stood up and walked out of the room. "Goodbye, Lily. I love you. You were always my sister." He said at the door before walking down the stairs. He bent down by James and held onto his hand. "I'll take care of him, Jamsie, I promise, Remus and I, we'll take care of him." He stood up after a couple of minutes. He looked at his brother one last time. "I love you, James, you were always my brother." He followed Remus out the door, still crying and they held hands for a brief moment before Apperating to Sirius's house.

"We have a crib here," Remus said, opening the door to the apartment. "We have toys, we have his blanky…" He handed Harry to Sirius and walked around the house, looking for everything else that Lily had made sure they had if anything happened to them. "We have his stuffed animals… Except for…" He took the rat that was squirming around between his forefinger and thumb and threw it out the window.

"Remus," Sirius said, sitting on his bed with Harry in his arms. "Harry's going to sleep with me tonight." Remus looked at him with sad eyes. Sirius held Harry closer to his heart. "I just… I want to have James and Lily with me tonight, I want to make sure Harry's alright."

"I understand, Pads," Remus said, bending down to crouch by Sirius's bed and ran his hand threw Harry's messy hair and kissing his forehead. "I'll stay in the guest room, like always." Through his tears, Sirius laughed.

"It's not the guest room anymore, Moony, it's your room." Remus laughed in spite of himself and hugged his brother goodnight, kissed Harry one last time, and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Sirius looked down at his godson, beginning to slowly dose in his arms.

"It's okay, Harry," Sirius muttered as he lightly placed Harry on the bed and proceeded to take off his own shoes and jacket and putting on his pajama pants he had left on the floor this morning before picking Harry up again and laying down and putting the covers over them. He looked over at the nightstand and picked up Harry's old blanket with Snitches fluttering around on it. He handed it to Harry and pointed his wand at the light and turned it off. "We'll be okay, just me and you." He kissed Harry again. "And Moony!" Harry added sleepily before turning into Sirius's chest and resting against his heart. "And Moony, too, little bear," He held Harry tighter to his chest. "We'll be okay. I love you, Harry. I love you so much."

"I love you, too, daddy." Harry muttered before falling asleep. Harry's last words broke Sirius's heart as he closed his eyes and tried his hardest to go to sleep.
