Remus was not sure about this, but he knew he needed to try. His husband had taken their son and Liam home, well to Grimmauld, for the night. James had not wanted to leave his wife, and though Liam was shaken, he told his daddy to stay. He knew mummy was scared, and he didn't want her to be alone, she needed someone with her. James actually found himself grateful, for the first time in years, for the marauders. He knew no matter his other issues, they loved Liam, and they would be there for him right now. Lily had wanted James to tell Remus and Severus, and though mainly for herself, Remus for her husband too. She thought, or hoped, for this they could put aside their differences. Remus knew better than anyone, the pain of watching a mother battle cancer, and losing her. Severus lost his mother, but not to cancer, and much quicker.

In the morning Remus had come, with some help, he had found out where Petunia lived. Somehow he was not surprised, by the cookie cutter street, and the cookie cutter people he assumed. It was different then where Lily grew up, but it was definitely a lot like Petunia.

Petunia came to the door when he knocked. "What do you want?"

Remus wondered if she greeted all comers like this. "Petunia I don't know if you remember me…."

Petunia smirked. "One of those pathetic friends of my sister, Remus Lupin, I remember you. Now what do you want?"

Remus wondered if he should be touched she remembered him. "I came to speak to you about your sister."

Petunia was about to close the door in his face. "I have nothing to talk to you about her."

Remus stopped her. "Your sister is sick."

Petunia stopped, and she looked back at him, silent for a moment. Remus wondered if she was asking herself if this was some kind of trick, to get into her house, and she was. He had no idea what she thought he would gain, from coming here, and lying to her. It wasn't like her family was rich, and he was about to rob them, but the woman never made much sense when he knew her before either.

The woman allowed him into her house, and into the sitting room, where her husband and son were. Vernon looked the same, though he had put on a lot of weight, and their son looked like his very image.

Vernon was stunned as he too recognized him. "What are you doing letting him in? If he threatened you I am calling the police now."

Petunia shook her head. "He is claiming my sister is ill."

Remus sighed. "Your sister was diagnosed with leukemia. She is undergoing her first round of chemo as we speak."

Vernon spoke up as his wife sunk down into a chair in shock. "What do we care? She is a freak like the rest of you. We have no contact."

Remus looked at Petunia. "She is your sister. I know you hate she became a witch, but you love her, I know you do."

He could see the woman was shaken by the news that her sister was so ill. There was a history of cancer in the family, their mother had died from breast cancer, unless Remus was mistaken. Petunia's parents were both dead, and both had been only children. Even if she had not seen Lily in years, Lily and Liam were the only family the woman had left, Remus reminded her.

Vernon was irate and wanted the man out of his house. It wasn't all about what he was, he hated having their kind in his home, but it was a part. He didn't like seeing his wife upset, and he could see she was shaken by all of this.

Vernon tried to lead him towards the door. "You will leave the house. You have told u, now go."

Remus was not leaving. "There is a chance your sister may need a transplant. You may be the only match."

Vernon pulled him up from the seat. "Should have known she sent you for a favor."

Remus looked at Petunia. "She doesn't know I came. We haven't been friends for years, but she is sick. She is your sister."

Petunia stood. "She chose to be out of my life."

Remus stopped her. "Being a witch was not a choice. She has a son, a son your son's age. Would you take his mother from him?"

Petunia picked up a photo, and looked at it, and her son in the room. Remus reminded her how close they had once been, it was Petunia who refused to come to Lily's wedding, or when Liam was born. He could see from the pictures, and the way she looked at her son, how much she loved him. He asked her if she could live with knowing there was a chance she may have been able to save her sister's life.

Remus finally went to leave but he said. "Lily would be hear in a second, if the tables were turned. Just think about it."

Liam and Harry were taken back to school, but Liam had been assured his mum came through chemo fine. He had wanted to wait and see her, but her immune system would be low, and she didn't want to worry him more. Chemo would help, but it would make her sicker before better, and she didn't want her son to see her like that. She was grateful her son was at school, she couldn't imagine if she had got this sick when he was smaller, and still at home all year. She loved her son, and wanted to protect him

Liam and Harry both moved in with Harry's dad for now. Surprisingly James had not protested when Severus had suggested it. He knew his son needed to be at school, and he needed to focus on his wife, for now. He knew for better or worse, Remus could be there for his son.

It was Halloween weekend and the first game of the season. Harry looked at his brother as he was about to head to the field. "Are you okay?"

Liam nodded. "Just thinking about my mum."

Harry knew she had another around of chemo that week plus a specialist appointment. "Maybe he'll have news for her."

Severus had come into the room. "Your dad mentioned the healer would look into the chances of a bone marrow transplant."

Liam was worried. "But I'm the only family mummy has left, well that shares blood. What happens if I am not a match?"

Severus held him. "Then they will search for another donor, the match is not only family."

Family was more common, but just because Liam may not be a match, they would not lose hope. Liam may be a match, and if he wasn't, they'd look. The issue was that finding someone who was compatible, was harder, when magic was involved. Severus didn't mention Petunia, his husband's visit had not gone well, and from what he knew the woman had not been in contact. He looked at his own son, Harry was a Snape , he had actually become Harry Remus Regulus Black-Snape, but never removed the blood adoption. He hadn't been ready to change the name he always had, to Severin, and liked having Uncle Moony's name. He had added his daddy's name, his birth middle name, and both last names. But Severus shook away thoughts of his son, Harry was not her child, and she put him through enough.

Harry reluctantly headed down to the change rooms. His brother reminded him he wanted Harry to play, and win. Liam cheered for his brother, even against his own house, though he cheered for both teams in that game. Harry soon had his head in the game.

Oliver clapped him on the back as he headed out for the pitch. "Need to win this game."

Harry looked at him. "I know you have been coaching us and not the lions, but it is still odd hearing you cheer for us."

Oliver laughed and shrugged. "I recall coming to your victory parties when you beat us. I believe we kept competition to the field."

Harry had to agree with him on that. "Good thing you still don't have Gryffindor leanings, I plan to destroy your team out there."

Oliver shook his head. "You better. If you lose to Gryffindor for the first time since you joined the team, I may lose my coaching job."

Oliver was returning to quidditch in a month, his arm was no longer in a cast, and he had the okay. He would continue coaching, he quite loved the job, and he was just joking about being fired. Oliver was surprised the twins had come, when he realized they were here for him, as well as Harry. They were all friends still, but happy to see them, come to see his first game as a coach.

Harry was reminded his brother wanted him to play, and he put his mind into the game, for Oliver and his team too. It was not even a half hour into the game, when he had caught the snitch and won it.

Draco clapped him on the back when he landed. "Won the game and your boyfriend can keep his job."

Liam had come over with the twins in tow. Liam laughed a little. "Might be the first time your Papa was cheering against his own team."

Severus had overheard. "Never."

Remus looked at Liam. "I told your dad I'd bring you when the game was over."

Liam hugged his brother when Harry offered to come. "Enjoy your party, I promise I want you to."

Severus had told his son he would bring him on Sunday, into London, if Harry and Liam wanted. But Harry should be focusing on school, and his team, even if that included a certain coach. He was relieved to see his son smiling a bit, and in good moods, he should be. Harry had a good heart, and it was natural he worry about his brother, but the woman herself was no matter for his son.

Severus sighed as he watched his son after lunch, he had called for some treats from town. "I hope for both boys' sake, there is good news today."

Please review again, please.
