The next morning Harry was a bit unsure about breakfast. He would be meeting Cedric's parents with Viktor. His father had told him that the Diggories had requested a chance to meet both the young men who had been with their son in the graveyard. Harry had felt like pointing out Cedric was dead before he arrived but he was not about to deny them a simple request. Severus had invited the Diggories and Krums to join them for breakfast.

Viktor and his parents were the first to arrive. Viktor hugged him. "I'm glad to see you're home with your dad Harry."

Harry kissed him. "I love my godfathers but I belong with dad. I would like to introduce you to my godfathers this afternoon. Your parents too if they would."

Joseph had overheard. "I have heard much from Viktor about your godfather and family situation. We'd be honoured to meet the rest of your family."

Nadia's response was cut off when there was a second knock at the portrait hole and this time Cedric's parents came through. Harry had never met Amos or Cecile Diggory before but he had seen them at the meeting of the parents before the third task. He could see the death of their only son left them both drawn and looking as if they aged ten years.

Amos came over to them. "Viktor and Harry, we would like to thank you two for agreeing to have breakfast with us this morning."

Viktor shook his hand. "Your son was incredibly brave in the maze and the graveyard. I wish I could have saved his life."

Cecile stopped him. "We know both you and Harry would have saved him if you could. We don't blame you. We'd like though to know our son's last moments."

Harry knew how much it pained Viktor to tell the story again but they owed it to Cedric and his parents for them to hear what happened to their son. There was to be a memorial that afternoon before the students left for the summer the next day, but the details wouldn't be told there. Viktor told them everything from when they entered the heart of the maze until Cedric had died. When Cecile asked, Harry told the rest of what happened in the grave.

Amos turned to Viktor. "Do not blame yourself young man. We know you could have done no more for Cedric. We are grateful you two came out of it alive."

Cecile nodded. "At least our son died knowing he had been one of the two winners of the tri-wizard cup. He died a champion."

Harry nodded. "Your son was incredibly brave. His friendship and support of me and Viktor this year meant a lot to me. You had an amazing son."

Harry was surprised to find himself pulled into a hug by Cecile and even Amos. They had heard of Harry's help to their son against the dragon and about Harry coming out and the rest. They had been proud of their son's actions. They had raised him well and were not shocked to hear he had stood up for Harry and Viktor when they had come out.

Amos brought out a pouch. "Albus gave us this. It is Cedric's share of the winnings from the tournament. We'd like you to have it Harry."

Harry shook his head. "Your son won the tournament not me. You and your wife keep the money."

Cecile handed Harry the pouch. "You helped him with the tasks and it was one of your spells that helped Viktor and Cedric with he spider. You deserve a share."

Harry turned to look at Viktor. Surely if Cedric's parents didn't want his share of the winnings, then Viktor deserved the entire purse of money but his boyfriend shook his head, knowing what Harry was thinking.

"I agree with the Diggories. You deserve recognition for all your help. Cedric would have agreed." Viktor told him.

Harry kept the pouch though he still felt wrong about it. "I promise that I will put the winnings to good use. I'll make Cedric proud of how it was used."

Amos and Cecile seemed to agree with that and as the group fell into eating breakfast Harry found himself answering more questions with Viktor about the earlier parts of the tournament. Amos and his wife seemed to want to hear more about their son's last days in life. Harry also spoke about his quidditch days with Cedric who to this day was the only seeker who had ever won in a game against him though the dementors on the pitch had helped.

After the Diggories left Viktor's dad turned to Harry. "We're heading home after the memorial today. You know you're always welcome to visit us in Bulgaria."

Nadia pulled him into a hug. "You and your father of course."

Harry thanked them and was touched that they'd invite him to come to their home. Harry had no idea how the long distance relationship with Viktor would be working as he had to head home the next day with his school but Harry and Viktor both knew, no matter how it happened, they didn't want this to end.

The second test for the day for Harry came when his godfathers showed up at the apartment. Sirius was going to make his first entrance as a free man and he wanted his godson by his side for it. It was the first time Harry had spoken to them since he ran off to find his dad and he was a bit anxious to see them.

Sirius though pulled him into a bone crushing hug. "Hey cub. It's good to see you smiling again."

Remus took his turn hugging him and whispered. "Don't worry about Padfoot. He was sad but we both meant it. We're happy you're with your dad."

Harry pulled back and looked at his two godfathers and his dad and realized that this would actually work out. He could actually have his father and his godfathers all in his life and not have to worry about loosing any of them or hurting any of them either.

Severus smiled. "Ready mutt to make your entrance back into the world of free men?"

Sirius smirked but it softened into a smile. "Perhaps since you're raising my godson, we might call a truce after all these years. Manage first names at least."

Severus looked over at his son and then took the hand Sirius offered. "For the sake of my son, I think I could manage that Sirius."

Harry hugged them both. It meant a lot that the two of them could attempt to at least be civil to each other for his sake. He didn't think they could ever be friends but it would be easier for Harry if two of the most important people in his life weren't always trying to hex each other.

Sirius laughed. "Though I'd ask you to stop trying to turn my godson against me. I mean what is it with you buying Harry a cat? He's a dog person."

Severus laughed. "I happen to think that Seeker over there is a far better pet choice then some big slobbering dog who gets hair every where."

Remus laughed as he saw Harry's face. "You didn't think the truce could change things so fast did you? How about we get these two up stairs?"

Harry smiled and he directed his father and godfathers out of the room and as they walked up towards the entrance hall Harry held his breath as he knew the reaction of his friends and classmates was going to be big when they saw Sirius enter. The resounding gasp from the people in the entrance hall told everything.

Neville was oddly enough the bravest one and came over. "Harry, that's Sirius Black. He is the man who..."

Harry shook his head and spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. "He didn't betray my parents. Peter Pettigrew did. He was innocent of all charges and is free."

Neville looked at Remus who nodded so Neville hugged Harry tight. "I know he was your godfather and if you trust him so do I."

Hermione came over and smiled at Sirius. "Good to see you among the free people Sirius. I am surprised your freedom hasn't hit the newspapers yet."

In truth they had managed to convince Cornelius to keep it secret for another day though by the next morning the world would know that Lucius and Sirius were both free men. Both men had requested some private time with their son and godson before they got hounded by questions, as they knew they would be.

Fred came over. "So you're one of the marauders? I mean we got to meet Remus, but to meet one of the others, and one who got into all the trouble? Cool."

Sirius broke into a huge grin. "I hear you're the young man well with your twin who found out old map and gave it to Harry. Come in a lot of use over the years?"

George answered. "Inspired us to become the pranksters we are today. You know our mother would want to hex you if she knew you created it, though."

Harry smiled as he watched his friends talking with his godfather. Sirius was still getting some angry or worried looks from some of the students but Harry knew most of those would go away as well when the news story came out the next day. The prophet could come in handy once and a while, Harry had to admit.

Draco came over with his dad and to Harry's delight a woman he knew must be his mother. "I see my cousin has made his entrance"

Harry smiled and nodded. "I presume you're Mrs Malfoy?"

The woman smiled and nodded. "You can call me Narcissa, or Aunt Cissy if you'd like. Severus is after all like a brother to us and Sirius is of course my cousin."

Harry smiled and when Lucius added the comment Harry could call him Uncle Luc he smiled and hugged them both. He had a feeling these two would be an Aunt and Uncle he'd be proud to claim as his own unlike his only ones in the past.

Narcissa turned to Sirius. "It has been too many years cousin. You know you and I, and Andromeda are going to have to have a family reunion one of these days."

Sirius laughed. "A family reunion of the black sheep of the clan? I never thought you'd be a member of our group but I'm glad to see you are Cissy."

Narcissa smiled. "You didn't really think I'd ever take after Bella did you? You should have remembered me and Annie were inseparable when we were kids."

Because of her husband's role as a spy Narcissa and her sister Andromeda had not spoken in a number of years and she had never even met her niece Tonks. Harry hoped that it could soon be arranged for the little family reunion. He realized with a warm smile he was a member of both families.

The memorial for Cedric was arranged out on the grounds that afternoon and Harry realized it was not to be some formal funeral but a celebration of his life and of the victory against the Dark Lord as well. The Diggories had insisted. They said their son would not have wanted them to have a funeral with everyone crying. He'd have wanted them to remember him with laughs and smiles, and they'd honour that wish.

Dumbledore stood before everyone. "We come here today to celebrate the amazing life of one of our students, Cedric Amos Diggory who lost his life moments after becoming a co-champion in the tournament with Viktor Krum. We have been asked to not mourn his death but to celebrate his life. I'd like to ask any who have any stories about him to come forward and share."

Cedric's parents came forward first but then others including Cho. "He was so nervous when he asked me to the ball. I had never seen him like that. He actually was tongue tied at first. I had to ask him in the end. We shared our first kiss that night."

Harry stood up. "Cedric and I had played quidditch against each other for three years but this year Cedric proved to me what an amazing guy he was. He stood by me when I came out and was there when I was hurt. The support he and his house have shown me this year meant the world to me. Cedric was a new but good friend."

As the stories came to an end there were toasts to be made and a beautiful monument rose from the ground. "A tribute to all who lost their lives in this war."

Harry looked at the monument when the memorial was over, noticing not only Cedric's name but others. "My parents, and Molly's brothers."

Severus nodded. "Many members of the Order are on there. Too many who lost their live s young fighting this war. It's about time their sacrifice was honoured."

Harry touched his dad's name. "I hope Siri is right and you're happy for me dad. You're my father but I have a dad and a family now. I will never forget yours and mums sacrifice for me."

Harry felt a strong warm set of arms wrap around him and knew it was Remus without looking. "They know cub. And I promise you, they'd be happy for you."

Harry walked away from the monument with his dad and his godfathers as well as Viktor. He watched as others including the Weasleys made their way to the monument to look, knowing the Weasleys would be honoured to see Fabian and Gideon on it. Harry was just glad this war was over and no more names would need to be added to the monument. The Death Eaters were rounded up, including younger students like Greengrass and Nott. No more innocent lives would be lost.
