Disclaimer: I do not own Harry potter and unfortunately never will.

"Not right now Moony guests are going to arrive soon," replied James. Remus frowned as James kept putting up decorations all of them red Jake's favourite colour and no blues or greens which were Harry's favourite colours.

"This is about your treatment of Harry, you know your son." Remus said as polite as possible.

"It's always about Harry," James muttered meanly, forgetting about Remus' super human hearing, He said louder "Tell me about it later I've got to get things perfect for Jake's party."

"Jake's party! What about Harry, James it's his Birthday too or did you forgets like last year." Remus finished sarcastically, inwardly pissed at how little James seemed to care about Harry.

"I did not forget Remus, Jake is simply more important as the boy who lived. Harry understands." James tried to reason with him surely Moony would understand.

"Harry's six," Remus snarled at him. "How could he, you are neglecting him and treating like he's second-rate." Remus eyes were glowing gold a sure sign of the wolf. Although he was unaware that he was shouting Harry and Maddie had heard the fighting and had come downstairs and were listening in. James and Remus continued their argument.

"Well right at this moment he is compared to Jake." James yelled back, and was about to continue when he heard a gasp from the stairs and they looked up to see two kids hiding in the shadows.

Maddie was shocked how dare that man say her brother was second rate and had gasped when he had said that (She thought of Harry as a brother). Harry wasn't as surprised as he had realized this long ago, but it still hurt to hear the man who was his biological father say that.

Remus was furious how dare this man hurt his second cub like that he exploded at James.

He jumped on James punching and kicking him until he heard the words "STUPEFY" being shouted and he collapsed that last thing he saw was his cubs' faces looking shocked. (Thought of Harry as his).

Remus felt dizzy as he woke up. Why was everything so white, he wondered?

"Look he's waking up" said a familiar voice.

"What the hell happened and why do I feel as if a herd of thestrals has just trampled on my head?" Remus managed to groan out, finally his eyes had adjusted to the light, it looked like he was in the hospital wing and there were so many people in the wing.

"Thank god you're all right Mooney!" Lily said obviously relieved. Remus looked at her and James and he suddenly remembered why he was in the hospital wing in the first place, he was mad whoever had stunned was going to be sorry, very sorry. He glared at James and asked politely (well as polite as one could be just waking up from being stunned)

"Where is Harry and Maddie" James, Lily and Sirius looked a little upset about not being asked for.

"Isn't there any one else you wanted to talk to," Remus looked up at Dumbledore who was looking at him as if to say why you want them. Remus swallowed his anger "No, the only people I want to see are my cub's," he spat at him "or are you deaf old man," Remus was not happy with Dumbledore as he knew that Dumbledore didn't care about Harry or Maddie only his precious savoir he thought bitterly.

Harry was scared after Lily had shot the stunner at Remus him and Maddie had been sent to his room and left there. He was consoling Maddie as she was crying for her papa and he wanted to cry as well but he knew it would only make things worse. He interrupted from his thoughts by Sirius yelling for them both to come downstairs. When they got to the hospital wing he saw Remus in a bed looking really pale. He and Maddie ran up to him and hugged the life out of him. Remus was so happy to see his cubs that he forgot about the others in the room that had been annoying him with their stupid questions like was he alright, did he want anything, are you sure your alright god he was annoyed with them so he concentrated all his thoughts on his cubs.

(Lily's pov)

"Why did those brats have to come" she thought angrily conveniently forgetting those 'brats' were her son and his best friend. She was this close to getting an answer about why he attacked James and why he didn't get a present for her precious son Jake.

(Sirius' pov)

He was seriously confused about what was going on, first Remus was angry with him this morning then he completely ignores Jake, then attacks James and now he wasn't talking too anyone except for Harry and Maddie. What in the world was going on?

(Remus' pov)

"Now Remus why don't you tell us how come you attacked James," Dumbledore said acting like a grandfather figure Remus rolled his eyes and decided to answer.

"The reason I attacked James is because he was acting like an arsehole and saying that Harry was second rate compared to Jake." He finished off looking calmly at the people in the room it was obvious they all thought like James did and Remus was going to try and stay composed at how people were going to respond to what he had said. Everyone looked shocked at what he had said. Lily was thinking everyone already knew that Jake was better so why did Remus attack for such a silly reason. Sirius thought that what James said was wrong but Remus didn't have to lash out at James for saying that and said so to Remus who sneered at him and said that he wouldn't understand. People were confused at Remus' behaviour but Harry and Maddie were used to this side of Remus 'cause he ranted and raved when he saw how Harry was neglected by his parents and Maddie by Sirius (who was always around Jake). This side of Remus came out when he thought no one was looking, but Harry and Maddie were very perceptive for their age. Sirius was about to say something back but Madame Pomfrey came in with a potion looking very surprised and said that Severus had given it to her with a note to give to Remus, who smiled and grabbed it before anyone else could as he saw Lily reaching for it. The note said the potion is for stunners but say it is a sleeping potion and pretend to sleep but keep the brats with you after everyone is gone come down to the dungeons. The note was unsigned but Remus could read his friends writing anywhere. Not many know that Remus and Severus are friends in fact only Harry, Maddie and Lucius Malfoy knew, Harry and Maddie had known because one time when Remus was babysitting them Sev had come over. Lucius knew because he was Remus friend to.

It all started in their seventh year at Hogwarts When Remus found them being ambushed by Gryffindor; He jinxed them from behind and the Gryffs thinking the snakes had back up, ran. Remus had helped and healed them. The snakes were wary at first but eventually they all became friends still are to this day and the rest of the Marauders don't know. Thinking to keep it this way he burned the note almost getting James' hand as he had been reaching for the note while Remus was thinking. Remus snarled at him and the rest to go away. Lily reached for the kids but he was quick to stop that.

"You leave them alone, they are staying with me," He glared at her

"But Remus th-

"No!"

Eventually everyone left so Remus got up and grabbed the curious children stopping their questions with a few words. They quietly left the hospital wing and managed to get to the ground floor before peeves saw them peeves' eyes widened with glee and was about to shout when he found he couldn't talk, Remus looked equally surprised, but when he looked at the kids he saw Harry glaring at the poltergeist with his arm out Remus blinked, oh well.

As they neared Severus' private rooms they could hear shouting near the entrance and saw James and Sirius trying to get in, failing miserably. They waited in an alcove until the men stomped off muttering angrily. Remus gave the pass word to the portrait and was admitted entrance. Lucius and Severus were sitting on some black leather couches smirking. Remus had an idea as to why they looked so smug.

"You blocked Potter and Black from entering didn't you" he asked blandly.
