So this is going to take place over the course of one day/night, so hopefully it won't be too long haha
"How is he?" Lily asked as James and Sirius entered the house in Godric's Hollow.
James sighed, shaking his head. "When the letter said he woke up, I was hoping for better. Shouldn't get my hopes up, I suppose."
Lily smiled sadly. "You two are doing a good thing. He hasn't got anyone else left, it's good you two are helping him."
"Won't change what's been done." Sirius said. "And if he does somehow get through this and reaches a point where he wakes up every morning knowing what he's done, knowing he's lived this delusion- well, he's headed straight for Azkaban."
"So you think it'll be best if he doesn't?" James asked as they headed into the kitchen for tea.
"He believes Dora was killed in a battle during a war. Perhaps it's best to let him think it was a murder." Sirius said. "He didn't take it well last time, did he?"
"It was a murder, Sirius." James said. "The only thing that changes is who the murderer was."
"And he asked for Teddy again, then?" Lily asked, setting tea on the table as Sirius and James sat down.
"Always does, Lily." James said. "I think, as time goes on, that it's getting crueler to say what we do."
Lily sank into a chair, pulling a cup towards her. "Is it a good idea to do otherwise, though?"
"I don't think it's up to us." Sirius said. "If it were, I personally would have allowed him to be sent to Azkaban-"
"Sirius!" Lily scolded.
"What he did was a horrible thing, Lily!" Sirius snapped. He sighed and stared at the table. "It doesn't matter anymore, it wasn't our choice."
"Have you spoken to Andromeda lately?" Lily asked quietly. "How is she doing?"
"Getting more sick, probably doesn't have long left. And she's the only thing keeping Remus in St Mungo's, once she's gone, I'm the only family member left-"
"And what will you do?" Lily asked.
"I don't think Remus will ever remember properly, but that doesn't been he should be left free of imprisonment." Sirius said. "I think we need to just go in, and tell him straight out. Trying to coax it from him has not been working. He'll wake in a week and be right back where we started."
"Are you sure?" Lily asked, looking towards James, who shrugged.
"Yes. We'll take in the photos we have left- they should remind him." Sirius said with finality. "I'm going back tonight, you can come with if you want, maybe two against him will be best."
The main Healer flipped through the photo album. "Well, I don't believe in being so out with it, but like you said-"
"We can try it this way just once." Sirius said. "If he wakes up and has forgotten again, I'll leave it alone."
The Healer nodded. "Very well, I'll be doing my rounds. If you need assistance-"
"We'll find you." James said, with a nod. The Healer walked away, and James and Sirius headed for Remus' room. "So, Padfoot, what's the plan?"
"We'll start gently." Sirius said as they reached the door. "Show him pictures- the weddings, school stuff-"
"And then?"
"After he's learned that- we tell him everything else."
"Everything?" James asked, his hand resting on the door's handle. "Are you sure about this?"
Sirius nodded. "I've been thinking about it for a while. He needs to know."
So I want to make this longer, but I don't know, I wanted to end it before they entered the room haha
