Sirius had never been more livid in his life. He felt like he was the werewolf and not Remus. As he stormed up the front steps of his house he felt like he wanted to strangle something. He went into his house and followed the sounds of voices into his library. He saw that James and Lily were finishing an interview.

The reporter finished and the photographer took one last photo "What a perfect little family." The photographer said.

The reporter nodded. "Our readers will like reading about how your little family stuck together and over come your loss."

James had seen Sirius but simply said. "Of course we are torn by the death of our son. But we must go on for the sake of our daughter."

Lily nodded and wiped away imaginary tears. "Any mothers out there surely know how we suffer."

The reporter nodded. "Thank you for giving us the interview Mr and Mrs Potter." And handed them an envelope.

When the reporter and her photographer had left the house James and Lily turned to Sirius.

"You're home, how was the meeting?" Lily inquired.

"Interesting. Remus and Severus were there." Sirius barked.

Lily paled but it was James who responded. "And how are they doing?"

"Moony is of course facing the full moon tomorrow. Severus seems quite content though. Harry was with them."

Lily was angered "Harry is dead. That boy is not Harry." What she said was right. For Harry's safety as well as to allow him a normal life they had allowed the world to continue to think the boy dead.

"You know there was something different about the boy, he looked different." Sirius said.

James visibly looked a bit shaken at that. "Of course, those two would have blood adopted the boy."

"Interesting, does not explain why the boy looks like me." Sirius said.

Lily knew Sirius found out. "Sirius it was for the best. Harry would have been a bastard. You know he was better off as James' son."

Sirius grabbed the woman "Don't. Don't you dare say that my son was better off with that filth as a father. You neglected him and then abandoned him."

James pulled Sirius off his wife. "Padfoot you never wanted to be a dad, never would. We were protecting Chloe."

Sirius punched his former friend. "I'll never forgive you for this. You stole my son from me and then almost killed him."

James shook his head "If he matters so much to you, where is he Sirius?"

"He has a home with Severus and Remus. I will not uproot him again. I love my son. I will be godfather to that boy." Sirius growled.

Lily looked at him "See you don't even want him now?"

"No I can understand what's best for him." Sirius growled and then pointed at the door "Get out"

James stood up. "What do you mean? You would not throw out your own goddaughter?"

Sirius seethed "You three are to leave my house immediately. If I ever see you here you will be arrested. Chloe's trust fund remains but you will have no access to it. Chloe will be given enough every year for school fees but you'll never touch any of it."

James blanched "Sirius, we have no where to go. My parents have disowned us."

"Find a job James. Perhaps pimp your wife, she's good for a shag. Sell your daughter for more interviews. I don't care, just get out now." Sirius roared.

He watched as they collected the few things he would permit them to take, which was really only Chloe's possessions. He showed them to the door while casting new wards to keep them out as he went.

"Oh and just to let you know if you were thinking about grovelling to mummy and daddy, they know and they are as sickened as I am. Remy is still their grandson and heir they informed me." And slammed the door in their face.

James looked at his wife and daughter. He had wanted so much for Chloe. How did it end up that they were now looking at a hotel on what funds they had. Chloe was meant to have it all. Now that little spawn would inherit the extensive Black and Potter estates as well as the slightly more modest Snape estate.

Lily looked at the envelope of money "We'll just have to grant some more interviews. I'm sure someone will even offer us a house when they know we have none."

James nodded. "Our little Chloe here is still the hero. We'll show them."

Sirius showed up the next morning at Spinner's end. He looked at the house and smiled. It suited Remus and Severus some how. Sirius and Remus' friendship had suffered over the past few years when he found Remus had married Severus. It had been three years since they had spent a full moon together.

Remus opened the door "I was hoping you were coming Padfoot."

Sirius smiled. "I should have been here more often, Moony."

Remus showed him into the sitting room. "You're here now. How did Prongs take the news?"

"As bad as you might think. Tried to tell me that Remy was better off with them then if I knew he was mine." Sirius growled.

Remus wrapped a comforting arm around his old friend. "Sirius I'm sorry they did that to you. You would make a good dad."

Sirius shook his head. "I'm not certain but at least I would have cared for him, more then I can say for those two."

Remus dropped into a chair. "I want to thank you again for letting us keep Remy."

Sirius nodded. "My son deserves to be happy. I can see even after only days that he is happy here with you. You are his daddy."

Remus felt bad for Sirius. "He'll know you all of his life and he'll love you. You'll be his Uncle."

"I'm happy. I'd make a better Uncle. I want him to have a real home and real parents, and you and Severus can give him that." Sirius admitted.

"I never thought you would ever say that." Remus said.

Sirius looked at his old friend "I'm sorry that I was such a jerk about you two. He makes you happy and I should have been happy for you."

"He's a good guy when you give him a chance. He'll be a good dad."

Sirius nodded "I know. I know that you two have wanted kids so bad. I can't think of anyone better to raise my son."

The two spent the afternoon catching up on old times. Sirius was touched to see the bedroom that they made for his son. Sirius saw that they had not bought him a child broom yet and put that on his list. He felt a connection to Remy since the day he was born. He had never even after the blood bond, felt any real affection for his goddaughter, and now he understood better. He was content that his son would be raised here.

The moon was coming out and Sirius smiled "Time for me to change."

Remus nodded "See you in the morning Sirius."

Then where the two men had stood a werewolf and a dog now stood. The wolfs bane potion his husband had been perfecting allowed Remus to keep his mind and the two went running out into the woods playing like two pups, as they had done for years when they were in school.

In the morning Sirus and Remus apparated outside the gates of the school and walked up to the door. They were informed by a passing Madam Pomfrey that they would find Severus and Remy in the great hall having breakfast with the teachers. The hall was nearly empty as it was very early on a Sunday morning and most students were still in bed.

Severus was unsuccessfully trying to feed Remy when they came up. The boy saw them and called "Daddy"

Severus turned and smiled at his husband. "I see you are no worse for your night last night. Thanks Padfoot for keeping him company."

Sirius nodded and watched with a smile and Remus scooped Remy into his arms and sat him in his lap as he took a seat "You've been a good boy for Papa?"

Severus smiled "He did well until last night. He cried himself to sleep, missing you."

Sirius watched as his son drank a bottle of milk in Remus' arms and he saw Severus' smile as he looked at the boy and his husband. Sirius knew he had made the best decision for his son. He made one more hard choice when they were in the guest rooms where Severus and Remy had stayed.

"I think you two should blood adopt Harry" Sirius finally stated

Both men were surprised and Severus asked "Are you sure? The adoption is one thing but if we blood adopt him, he'll be ours."

Sirius smiled "He's yours already. I want my son to be a part of you two, I want that for him."

Remus nodded "If you really mean it"

Sirius nodded. "I already have your agreement to be his Uncle and godfather. That is enough for me. The blood adoption does not change that or his being my heir. I want to do this for you."

Remy took one last transformation. Due to the worry of the werewolf in his blood, it was Severus' blood added to the potion but a strand of Remus' hair was added as well for a link to the man. Remy's eyes turned a soft grey and he thankfully got Remus' nose but he looked like Severus in the rest of his features, and in his soft black hair which now hung in waves, no longer the unruly mess it had been before.

"Now he is truly Remus Severus Snape." Sirius said with a genuine smile.

Severus held his husband and son to him "Thank you for this Padfoot."

The two men, who had been enemies for so long and had called a truce for the sake of the boy, shook hands in friendship that morning.
