Laying there, not sure what exactly happened, Lily woke with a stir. Thinking it was a nightmare, just a nightmare. That's the only explanation of why she's not dead, is that it didn't happen. But where is she? Looking around unable to collect her thoughts, she eyed the man basically asleep at her bedside. "Remus is that you?"

The man woke with a start eyes watery "Lils, your awake? Oh Lily," as he tightly grasps her hand, "I can't imagine what you're going through".

"Where's Harry? Where's James? Is he alive? What happened? Where am I?" All in a quick burst she loaded onto Remus.

"Shhhhhh, Harry's safe, don't worry. He was hungry, so the healer is taking care of him. And Lils, James he's…"

"No, no he can't be. He just can't". She pulled Remus into a huge hug that hurt, a lot more than she expected. She quickly let go sobbing at her husband's death, and the pain she just experienced. "you… said… you said… Harrys alive?" in between sobs.

A tall, thin, old, great white bearded man walked into the room hold Lily's baby in his arm's "Yes. Yes, he is, alive and unhurt".

"Dumbledore? Oh Dumbledore" taking the baby from his arms "but…" not willing to finish the sentence.

Dumbledore knowing what she was going to say "Yes, I'm not too sure either, but that worry is for another time, let us just enjoy the life that we are given"

"Where's… Where's Sirius?" looking around with a slight hiccup, feeling better now she has Harry in her arms.

"What do you mean where is that… that bastard? After what he did, he's lucky he didn't run into me!" Remus said louder then he realized

"Bastard? What on earth are you talking about?"

"Lily he betrayed you, he betrayed us. He told Voldemort where to find you, so that he could kill you... Ohhhhh that…" Remus then said words that made lily squeak with disgust.

"Remus how could you… he wasn't even the secret keeper. So how in god's name could he tell Voldemort"

"He… He wasn't the secret keeper" Remus sputtered now staring at Dumbledore

"No, he was not, and I can't believe you thought that the closet thing James had to a brother would betray him. Speaking of which what happened to Peter?"

"Well…. Padfoot killed him…. And now he is in Azkaban and has been for over a week." Lily gasps so hard that Harry started crying and she then had to comfort him.

"What do you mean he's in Azkaban? And what do you mean a week how long have I been here for?"

"Well just about the same amount of time. Told Hagrid to bring you and Harry here and left to find Peter". Dumbledore simply put.

"And he's there because we thought he betrayed James, and then killed Peter and 12 muggles"

"I'll go get him out. Excuse me" and out went Dumbledore, quickly for a man of his age.

"Was there even a trial!?"

"No, we thought we knew he did it, the evidence it was all pointing at him." Lily seeing her friend downcast because of his actions knew, that he knew he messed up.

"What… What happened to Voldemort?"

"We think he's dead, well those that want to think he's dead, think he's dead. All of us with any brains knows he's not but he's gone, I don't know how long, but he is."

"Good that's good" Lily now noticing the lightning mark on Harrys forehead. "Uh…."

"That my dear lily is the mark of someone who has been touched, with the killing curse."

"The…"

"Yes, the curse somehow rebounded and he survived Lils. Harry is the only person to ever survive the killing curse. They're calling him 'the boy who lived'"

Lily now more awake can take in more of her surroundings and noticed a pile of gifts. No, more of a mountain of gifts. "Uh... Remus what is that?"

"Well I believe they are from yours and Harry's admirers. Had a lot of people try and visit you, just to say thank you and that they can finally live happy knowing that both of you ended Voldemort's tyranny."

"What of James? No, I know he… But what of his body?"

"We thought we'd wait to bury him for you to be there. Now we also must wait for Padfoot. Whenever Dumbledore can work his magic". Remus sighed standing up "Now get some rest, I'll take him, just focus on getting better". Lily handed the baby over to him and that constant stabbing pain subsided not realizing how much she hurt from just holding her son.

"Remus. Please don't go far"

"I'll be right here" Remus reassured her, as she drifted off to sleep, leaving Remus to ponder about how much he betrayed his friendship with Sirius.

A month later

"How are you feeling dear?" Asked the healer that has been taking care of Lily for the past month. "Anything we should worry about?"

"No, I'm ok just a time when I can leave would be nice"

"Oh, no you're in no condition your wounds open at the slightest irritation."

"Still no updates on how to close them?" asked Remus sitting in the corner with Harry

"No, sadly not. These wounds, I've never seen them before. This... This is truly dark magic, a spell that cuts deep and can only be healed, by I would assume would be this spell counter spell which I assume only casters creator and maybe some others would know. But since he-who-must-not-be-named is gone I don't know how we can repair this. Honestly, I'm just surprised it didn't cut you in half, never mind surviving."

"Alas, I think I may know what is going on." As everyone turned to him, he then added with a sparkle in his eyes "I will undoubtfully need to do research of my own no less. Now if you don't mind Miss Strout, I would like a word alone with them."

"Yes, of course, I shall be back shortly to give you your medication" as she swiftly headed out with a nod and a nonverbal thankyou from Dumbledore.

After he knew it was just them in the area, he sighed "I have only known one spell that could do something to this standard, but never to this extent, I shall see if I am correct. Now onto more exciting news, Cornelius and the rest of Wizengambit have finally agreed that Sirius is innocent of all crimes and will be released anytime now"

"Oh, thank god, I've been worried sick about him being there" Lily said with a great sigh of relief.

"Trust me Lily, I'm certain he's more stressed and worried about you, then you are him." Remus said with a very slight smile.

"Oh, and what makes you so sure of that" Lily said jokingly. Just before Sirius burst through the door with several guards behind him. "Oh, Thank Merlin! You're alright" putting a hand on the wall clutching a stitch.

"Hmm... I expected you here a tad earlier Sirius, hope they didn't give you to hard of a time"

"What... no no, I just stopped to say hi, to that dear old cousin of mine. Did you hear what that bitch did to the Longbottom's?" Sirius asked as four guards rushed into the room.

"You have no right to be in here" the first guard that ran in breathed. As the rest of them ran in, the last one scanned the area "Oh Dumbledore, how fortunate"

"Yes, but if you could please leave my dear friend alone that would be quite nice."

"You… You do know who he is right professor?" The third and youngest guard inquired.

"More then you know. Now pip pip he was released, and has no reason for this behavior."

"Oh… We didn't know, so sorry" the four men left the room disgruntled.

"Sirius it's so good to see you" Lily said with a smile that went eye to eye.

"Right back at ya. Now, how are you?" as he grabbed a chair and sat next to her holding her hand.

"I'm ok. I mean, I hurt a lot and, in several places, but I am ok." Lily still holding the smile. Then turned to Remus holding her baby. Sirius followed her gaze and a small smirk overwhelmed him.

"Pad I… I am truly sorry for thinking that you betrayed James. I... there is no excuse for that." Padfoot walked over to Remus took and gave Harry back to lily. Then turned back around and stood eye to eye with Remus. After a brief pause, he grabbed Remus in for a tight brotherly hug.

"There is nothing and I mean nothing to say sorry for… I myself thought that you had betrayed them and were Voldemort's spy, but when this happened. I put all the pieces together, but I couldn't get him."

"He played all of us, planted seeds against each of us, gained trust with James and Lily to become the secret keeper and we let him do it." Remus sounded more disappointed that he hadn't seen this earlier and was out smarted by Peter of all people.

"Welp, it's been a lovely chat but we really must go because…" Dumbledore interrupted pointing through the door, as the healer walked back in with a tray of different potions and herbs. "We seem to have run out of time. Lily take care of yourself, I should be back as soon as I finish my research."

Sirius took Harry, followed Remus and Dumbledore out the door. Right before he left, he turned around and said "Time to show this little guy what his uncles are all about" with a sly smile, a wink and a bark like laugh, he left.

"Now what do you say about relieving some of that pain?" The healer suggested while poring the potion into a goblet.

"Oh, that would be wonderful" Lily sighed wondering if she will ever heal.
