"So what are we going to do?"
Sirius sighed and clenched his hands around the kitchen sink, his knuckles turning white.
"I don't know."
Before either could respond, Lily was back downstairs with Harry asleep in her arms. Before either could ask, she sighed.
"I couldn't bare to let him out of my sight. Let's continue this conversation in the living room, I've got his bassinet set up next to the couch."
Both men nodded and followed the red-head into the living room.
"Well first of all we won't tell anyone that Voldemort's after Harry. However we will have to give a reason for adding security measures so what about saying that Voldemort is trying to get rid of you two because of how loyal you are to Dumbledore."
James recognized the tone in Sirius' voice, he was all business, desperately trying to contain his inner turmoil.
"Okay, but what about Pete and Remus? What do we tell them?"
Sirius sighed.
"I wish we could tell them the truth, but the less people who know the better. We'll tell them the same thing that everyone else knows. However we can tell them where you three will be living."
James quirked an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
Sirius sighed again.
"You, Harry and Lily need to go stay somewhere else until we figure out a way to keep you safe. You're too open here. Everyone knows where you live, it's no safe."
James started to object but Lily silenced him with a look.
"We'll do whatever it takes to make Harry safe."
Sirius nodded.
"James, call your mother, see if you guys can stay with them."
James glared at him.
"What about you?"
Sirius quirked an eyebrow.
"What about me?"
"Where are you going to be staying?"
"With Remus at our flat just like before. It'll look too suspicious if all of us leave. You go call your mother, I'm going to go fire-call Remus and Peter so we can give them a short version of what's going on and where you three will be."
Before James could object, Sirius was upstairs using the bedroom fireplace. Lily turned to her husband and sighed.
"Do you think everything will be okay?"
James shrugged.
"I don't know."
Sirius looked around at the now empty living room. It had been a long conversation with Remus and Peter, but at least they both knew the story that Dumbledore would be repeating for the Order, minus where the Potters were now staying. After Remus and Peter had gone back to their respective homes, Sirius had helped James and Lily go over to James' parents house before coming back to the house in Godric's Hollow to lock up and put the wards back up. After taking one more look around, the dog animagus apparated back to his and Remus' flat, thinking along the way.
"Everyone safe?"
As soon as Sirius arrived in his living room with a quiet 'pop', Remus started with the questions.
"Yeah, they're fine."
"Dumbledore called while you were helping Lily and James."
Sirius quirked an eyebrow.
"What'd he want?"
Though he had a pretty good idea and he wasn't happy about it.
"He wants me in on another mission."
Sirius sighed.
"Why can't he get someone else to go?"
Remus smiled sadly.
"Because I'm the only werewolf that's available on short notice."
Sirius glared.
"This isn't funny. We need your help here."
"You've got everything under control. Besides, I wont be gone nearly as long this time. This is just a small mission, a few weeks tops."
"When do you leave?"
"Next Thursday. Dumbledore doesn't want me transforming near them so I'll be transforming at Hogwarts, then the day after I'll go."
Sirius quirked an eyebrow.
"Can I still come on the full moon?"
Remus shook his head.
"No, and there's a good reason for that. Dumbledore needs me to be a little scraped up so I can look like any other werewolf after the full moon."
Sirius' eyes were almost black with anger.
"So you expect me to just let you hurt yourself just to save face?"
Remus nodded.
"Yes, because if you don't, I could be killed."
Sirius glared at his friend but instead of arguing, which he knew would do know good, he stormed up to his room and slammed the door, starting on a box which was more important than he could possibly describe.
It was Saturday when Sirius had finally completed the box that he now held under his arm.
When he arrived at his destination, he marched up the a weird looking creature and held out his key.
"I am Lord Black and I request to speak to Goblin Elder Knork."
The small creature nodded and walked quickly towards a stone door, coming back followed by an older looking Goblin.
"Ahh, Lord Black."
Sirius smiled, though internally wincing at his title.
"Follow me."
Sirius followed the elder Goblin into an office and sat down in the indicated chair while facing the Elder Knork who now was seated behind the desk.
"What can I help you with?"
Sirius sighed.
"First of all, I need to add someone's name to all the Black accounts."
Knork nodded and conjured up the paperwork.
"I want Mr. Harry James Potter to be a second on all of my accounts. In case anything should happen to me he is to inherit everything in those vaults. However, Vault 989 he shall not inherit until he is of age."
Knork nodded, handing papers over to Sirius to sign with his signature and a drop of blood on each.
"Will there be anything else?"
Sirius nodded.
"This box right here needs to be put in Vault 989. No one except Mr. Harry James Potter will be able to open this as I've put a spell on it. Only myself and him will be able to open it."
Elder Knork took the box and nodded.
"I'll add it into the vault sir."
Sirius smiled and thanked the Goblin, leaving quickly with a flourish, knowing he had done the right thing.
TBC! I know this was short and the last part was confusing, but it had to be done. Please please review!
AUTHOR'S NOTE: OKAY, THERE ARE A FEW STORIES THAT I READ A LONG TIME AGO THAT I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER THE NAMES OF. IF ANYONE CAN HELP PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
1.) IT'S A JAMES/SIRIUS SLASH STORY. All I really remember about it is that James and Sirius are together and Remus is with someone else who doesn't go to Hogwarts, he's a guy and him and Remus have a son together. Sirius gets pregnant and what not. They are all still Hogwarts age and Sirius' daughters' name starts with a C I believe. Sorry that it's not much.
2.) I really can't think of the other one that I wanted to know about but if anyone knows of any good Sirius/Harry (father/son relationship) fics, please send them my way. They are definitely my favorite. Also if your looking for any, there are several good ones in my favorites list.
Thanks a bunch!
