Sirius and Dumbledore took Petunia's suitcases into the house. Seeing her growing tired of holding the boys, Dumbledore conjured two high chairs for them, which she place them in before sitting down herself.

"So, you've decided to leave Vernon? I must say, I was rather disappointed in your choice of husband. What exactly brought you to to this decision?" Dumbledore inquired.

"Nothing, exactly." Petunia replied. "Which is to say, everything about him. I only married him because I was looking for a normal life, and he the same. But he's absolutely cruel to anyone he sees as not normal, and that made me wonder. What if he decided I wasn't normal enough? Or if Dudley wasn't? And he'll never think of Harry as normal, and, well, I care about Harry, like he's my own son. I resented him at first, for being alive while Lily was dead, but not anymore. He-" Petunia broke off, eyes shining. "-he has Lily's eyes." She dissolved into tears.

Harry, who had been sleeping in his highchair, woke up. He looked around, and he saw Sirius. A smile broke out on his face.

Harry reached towards Sirius "Paffoot! Paffoot!" He yelled.

Sirius grinned, and lifted Harry from his chair "Hey there, Pup" he said.

Petunia looked confused "Padfoot?"

Sirius laughed. "Old nicknames." He explained with a grin. He looked down at Harry "Do you want to see Moony, Harry?"

Harry got even more excited. "Mooy!" He screamed. Then he paused and looked up at Sirius. "Wowmtail?"

Sirius shook his head. "No, Harry. We can't see Wormtail."

Petunia looked even more confused than she had before. "Moony and Wormtail?" she asked.

Dumbledore laughed "Hogwart's most notorious troublemakers."

Petunia sighed. "I give up. Explain later."

At that moment, Remus appeared in the fireplace. Harry squealed with delight "Mooy!"

Remus grinned at the baby and lifted him from Sirius's lap into his arms "Hello, Harry!" he said.

Harry smiled up at Remus. "Where dada?" He asked.

Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Perhaps they boys should be put to bed. It's very late."

Sirius leapt to his feet. "You're right Albus. They'll have to share a crib tonight, but we can get another another one tomorrow."

"I'll take them." Remus offered. "If I need to know what you're talking about, you can fill me in tomorrow." He picked the two boys up easily and carried them to the nursery.

"So, Petunia," Dumbledore continued the conversation, "What do you plan to do now?"

Petunia took a deep breath and looked at Sirius. "Can I stay here?"

Silence followed. After a moment, Sirius replied. "I don't see why not."

Dumbledore chuckled to himself. It built up into a roaring laugh that had him gripping the sides of the chair so as not to fall off.

Sirius looked concerned. "Is... is something funny, Albus?"

Albus collected himself. "Well, no, it's not funny. It's just that this whole thing has worked out very nicely."

"In what way?" Sirius asked.

"Well, you see, Lily's sacrifice saved Harry. I was able to extend that protection so that as long as he lives it the same house as one of Lily's blood relatives, he would be protected from Voldemort. Now, he will still have that protection, but he will also have a family that cares for him. If you had not come here, Petunia, he would not have had both." Dumbledore explained.

"Well then," said Sirius, "I suppose that this turned out as well as it could have. Come, Petunia, let's find you a room. You look exhausted."

Petunia followed Sirius to an upstairs room. Along the way, they passed a room with an open door. Inside, Harry and Dudley were sitting in a crib. They looked ready to drop off at any moment. Remus was sitting next to the crib reading to the boys from a book called The Tales of Beedle the Bard. Petunia smiled to herself and went to her new room.
