Chapter 10
Harry could see that he did not need to be around for this conversation; he excuses himself and goes to join the others. Sirius sits down and holds Lily's hands "I know you would love nothing more for Snape and me to get along Lily but it just won't work out that way. We have too much history between us. If what you want is to see him more than go ahead but give me warning so I cannot be around when he is."
Lily nods "so you are going to make me choose who I spent my second chance with." Sirius sighs "I don't want that to happen Lily but there is just too much baggage between us, you know what happened. You can't repair that damage no one can."
Lily stands up and leaves the kitchen, Sirius watches her "Lily where are you going?" Lily looks at him, well aware that the others have now appeared just in case she hexes Sirius "I'm leaving Sirius, if I can't have you and Severus in my life and by the looks of it, I can't then, I don't want to be around you both. You made me choose and this is my choice."
Without thinking, Sirius grabs her when she turns to face the front door. He carries her into the living area, Lily is putting up a fight with him "No Sirius, I am done! I was sick of the fighting back in school and I'm sick of it now. We can't fight Voldemort if we aren't working as a team. Harry needs to know that we are going to be there for him no matter who has our back, we have to be able to trust each other."
Sirius waves his wand at the door, locking it "have you lost your mind Lily? He's one of them, yes he is a spy for us but he is one of them. He will betray us and then what will happen?"
Lily slaps Sirius hard "don't you dare! Just because Peter betrayed you and James does not mean that Severus will betray me." Sirius laughs at her "you have lost your mind, HE ALREADY HAS. HE WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD VOLDEMORT ABOUT HARRY!"
Lily points her wand at him "BUT IT WAS SEVERUS WHO ALSO TOLD US, VOLDEMORT KILLED JAMES BECAUSE OF PETER NOT BECAUSE OF SEVERUS. Remus is trying why can't you Sirius?"
Sirius sighs "I can't lose you as well as James, I see you as a sister Lily, and you know this. I won't be able to control myself if he does betray us and hurts you all over again." Sirius sits down on the sofa.
Lily sits beside him and hugs him "I know you don't want that Sirius, none of us do and I know if he does it will break my heart but if that is the choice that Severus wants to make then he is a full grown wizard and he will just have to live with the heartache, but I know that I will have you all behind me to help me get over the betrayal IF he does."
Sirius sighs and nods "Fine, I will accept your wishes and I will be civil towards Snape but the moment he does anything that hurts you, Moony and I get to hurt him." Lily nods and smiles "deal."
There is a knock on the door "Lily, Sirius are you guys okay?" they both recognised the concerned voice of their friend. Sirius waves his wand and the door becomes unlocked. Remus walks into the room "there was a lot of yelling, are you both okay?"
Lily nods "we're okay, we just got things off our chests, we are good aren't we Sirius?" he nods and holds her "yes, never can stay mad at you for long Lily."
They leave the living room, everyone is wondering what is going to happen now. Harry is sitting on the stairs with Ginny. Lily, Sirius and Remus see them sitting there just talking. Lily smiles at her sight of her son.
Lily looks at Remus and Sirius "I just hope he doesn't forget about his dear old mother."
It is the day Lily had been dreading, the day that Harry has to go back to Hogwarts, the summer holidays were now over. Lily sits on his bed as he packs his trunk "are you sure you have everything?" He nods "yes mum."
Lily stands up and hugs him "I love you so much baby." He looks at her and she holds her hands up "I know, I know you aren't a baby anymore. You're turning into a wonderful young man but you will always be my baby Harry James Potter whether you like it or not."
A laugh comes from the doorway "just give into her Harry, it's a mum thing, she will still see you as her baby when you become our age." Remus states, Lily nods in agreement.
Lily looks at Remus "are you saying that we are old Remus John Lupin?" Harry starts laughing "you better run Remus." He shakes his head "no Lily but you will always see him as your baby no matter what age Harry is." Lily sighs "fine I will allow that answer Mr. Lupin." She kisses Harry's cheek "I love you Harry, I always have and I always will." She then sits on the bed.
Remus waves his wand at Lily, Harry watches in shock "wha, what did you do?" Remus picks up a tiny Lily and places her in his jacket pocket "Lily missed seeing you off to Hogwarts when you were eleven Harry, do you really think she would allow us to let her miss it a second time?"
Harry shrinks his trunk and shakes his head "nope but are you sure it is safe?" Remus nods "yes, she won't be seen Harry, Mad-Eye and Nymphadora will be there in case anything goes wrong and I will protect her with my life." They all heard a faint 'don't call me that Remus' from downstairs.
Harry looks at Remus "can I ask you something Remus?" He nods his head. Harry notices that Nymphadora is now standing on the stairs waiting for them. Harry wants Remus to be happy "what happened during the last full moon? You weren't yourself."
Remus shifts his weight "I have some bad months Harry." Harry nods "but you'll be alright now, you have your family back together and a few new members." Remus nods "yes I do." He looks down at the tiny Lily in his pocket.
Remus nods "okay, let's get you to the station so your mum can watch you board the train." They walk towards the stairs and see Nymphadora "you guys ready to go?" Harry nods "I'm ready Tonks." She hugs Harry "everything will be alright, we have your back, always remember that Harry."
They arrive at the station; Harry notices a mangy black dog walking beside them. He smiles, knowing that the mangy dog is Sirius. He follows Padfoot into a room and Padfoot changes into Sirius.
Harry hugs Sirius "you shouldn't be here Sirius." Sirius laughed "Your mum gets to watch you board the train so why not me, I will watch Moony's back as he has your mother."
Sirius changes back into Padfoot, he stands at the platform with Harry, Remus, Mad-Eye and Tonks. Nymphadora notices pale blonde hair in the distance, she whispers something to Mad-Eye who nods his head at her "but be careful Nymphadora." She gives him the 'don't call me that' look.
What is Nymphadora up to?
