This had started as a Sirius fic but turned into a Remus one. He doesn't get enough love I suppose.
Emotion Waltz - Remus
'So small and perfect.'
At least he would be. He'd look just like James but have Lily's fire. He would teach him to ride on his broom or maybe on Sirius's motorcycle whichever Lily wouldn't skin him for. Not that she would have, he wasn't Sirius.
Remus pondered how he was to teach him about other creatures so he'd know compassion. It never occurred to him that he wouldn't have a chance and that Harry would learn on his own.
Without parents or Sirius as his godfather, he would grow up a lonely boy. A boy that despite not knowing any affection for many years; had still grown up with a huge heart.
He had seen the man beneath the beast in the broken down professor.
Lily and James could not have asked for a better son. The traitorous tear escaped him as he held the boy that had passed out from the sheer exhaustion of forcing out the Dark Lord.
The boy was strong and Remus hoped to become the parent Harry needed.
A few months later he watched in silent laughter as the young man glanced quickly at his friend's sister, a shy look on his face.
Remus gave thanks that he could at least be here to see the woman that would give young Harry the family that he had missed.
"Lily, James, Sirius. You'd be so proud."
