For first time in what felt like forever Sonny slept the whole night without a single nightmare or losing control of her magic. She awoke to find herself tangled in Remus' long limbs and his face inches from her own. She knew that the tears on her face had long since dried leaving her eyes and face crusted with salt. She untangled herself from Remus thinking, "Werewolf my arse the man is a bleedin' octopus."

She blearily toddled to the bathroom. There she found herself staring at her own reflection eyes red and puffy with salt tracks down her face for the first time in months she felt like herself. She never cried in front of people felt it to be a weakness. The emotionally stinted empath as Regan used to say she could understand other people's feeling but having to deal with her own was often a tedious and painful process. So she would push them aside until she was forced to face them often it was Sirius, who was doing the forcing, would give enough her time to titter on the edge before pulling her back sadly there were times when he was too late. She had to admit it was nice to have Remus hold her again. It was also nice to see him flounder to find the right words. She never took comfort from anyone even Sirius, who was there to make sure she didn't hurt herself; never offered words just listened to her rant.

She scrubbed her face raw until all the tears and emotion were washed away down the sink. Face pink and clean Sonny was ready to face the day. She quickly changed into jeans and long sleeve tee and tip-toed out of the bedroom not waking Remus. She found Harry standing up in his cot with his head cocked to one side as if he was trying to figure out the best plan of escape. Knowing his parents, that was most likely exactly what he was doing. Realizing she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning's tea and toast she scooped the child up into her arms kissing him on the head. "You wanna go get some breakfast? I think I could go for a full fry up and we will find you the baby version of a full English how about that" she queried of the giggling child in her arms. "'Onny, 'Onny 'nanas" he replied. "Okay we will include bananas" she told him sweeping down the stairs. She made her way to the kitchen to find that the aunts had gone into town and her mum was a work. She settled Harry into highchair and began to make breakfast or perhaps given the time brunch.

Pulling out pots and pans she was making quite a racket. First she set about frying an egg for herself and making scrambled for Remus and Harry. Putting slices of toast in the toaster she looked about and found they had no beans or tomatoes. She added two more frying pans to the stove for bacon and sausage. She was putting the eggs onto plates when Remus came down the steps bare feet on the tile announcing his arrival. "So was it the noise or the smell" she asked living with James and Sirius for seven years meant he could sleep through anything so the werewolf must have followed his nose. He snorted in response. "We are having a semi-full fry up, no bean or tomatoes" she told him as she caught the toast shooting from the toaster and putting it in a stack on a plate. He pulled out two glasses and Harry's sippy cup he pours himself pumpkin juice and Harry and Sonny get apple juice. Sonny and Lily never developed a tasted for the juice at school and it was something that they passed onto Harry.

He looked at Sonny as she flipped bacon and sausages she seemed lighter almost like she was before she was taken. She sliced the requested banana and began to mash it on to a piece of toast. She flipped the sausage one last time and plated the bacon everything was almost done. She was humming as she buttered the toast and put together everybody's plates. She gave him both his plate and Harry's two pieces of bacon for Harry, his toast cut into triangle with mashed banana instead of butter or jam and a small portion of fluffy eggs. She sat down and tucked into her own meal or four pieces of bacon, two sausages, a fried egg and jam covered toast. "Thanks for the juice. I put the kettle on and it's your turn to help him feed himself I haven't eaten since yesterday morning" she smiled at him.

She talked around mouthfuls of bacony heaven and told Remus that she had an idea but she would need to wait for the aunts to return home to try it. He told her about how Lily had planned the entire service part of him thought it was less about being prepared and more about sparing them the pain of having to decide how to say goodbye. Lily wanted a small simple service in the church in Godric's Hollow where they had christened Harry and been married it seemed a fitting circle to the brief but brilliant lives of James and Lily Potter. He then asked "What do you plan on doing?" "I have a plan to see Sirius to give him hope but I need supervision when I do it" she explained. "What are going to do? That reverse summoning thing and break into Azkaban or break him out" Remus asked nervous of what a determined Cromwell woman could do. "I am not going physically there is a way for me to transmit a version of myself to a place but I am weakened when I do this because my consciousness is in the transmission it is why I never used it to make contact when I was taken," she explained that it took a great deal of focus as she had to drop all of her shields to do this.

Just as she finished her explanation they heard a door slam. The aunts had returned from their jaunt into town where they would walk about and generally observe the muggle population all the while ignoring the names they were called. She called to them. They looked at her and said, "We'll get the book. You get an anchor and meet us in conservatory." Before Remus could launch his objection to the plan.

AN: Pumpkin juice always sounded so gross to me and apple juice has as much caffeine in it as a weak cup of coffee so yeah.
