James let out an annoyed sigh when the pain went through his body. However, when the door opened he smiled when he saw Remus. "Moony!" James said in a weak voice. Remus smiled sadly at him.
"Prongs. I'm sorry," Remus said slowly with tears in his amber eyes. James sighed and took Harry into his arms. "I really should have been there with you. I should have….." Remus cut off as he sat down. Lily and Sirius looked at James who smiled a little. James nodded.
"It's ok Moony. I'm still alive, am I? Now, when I get out of this place. We are all going to look after the little pup here," Sirius smiled and nodded but when he looked at Remus he dropped his head and walked out of the room calmly. Sirius looked at the door and let out a breath. Lily and James did the same thing.
"I'll go talk to him," Sirius announced to his friends. Lily and James nodded but they did not say anything as Sirius walked out of the room to find Remus.
"Remus!?" Sirius called to his werewolf friend and brother when he found him in the lobby about to leave. Remus turned around and sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. Remus did not turn however has he let out a breath. "Remus. Where the hell are you going? We need you here. Harry needs you," Remus dropped his head and turned around, but he did not show his eyes to his friend. Sirius knew that they were filled with tears and amber at the moment. "Remus," Sirius cut off when Remus looked up at him.
"You don't need me. Why would you need a…."
"Don't say it Rem," Sirius cut him off. "You are not. We have been over this. You are not a monster. Remus, you are my brother as well as James. Why can't you get this in your head?" Sirius told him putting his hand on his shoulder. Remus looked up at him with his amber eyes turned back to green.
"Alright, but what about…." Sirius waved his hand.
"We will worry about that later Moon, alright. Now come on," Remus smiled and slowly followed Sirius back to James's room but in the back of Remus's mind, he still thinks that he does not deserve to help look after Harry.
Lily was holding Harry who had fallen asleep in her arms when James sighed at the fact that Remus does not believe that he can help look after his son. "Lily," James said sitting up but wincing at his side for he could no longer feel his legs anymore. James, however, did not care as long as his family lives.
"Yeah James?" Lily asked smiling at her son who wiggled in his sleep.
"Do you think…." James cut off when Remus and Sirius walked back into the room. "So, are you staying to help?" James asked Remus who nodded slowly but he did not say anything as he cleared his throat.
"Yeah. Thanks to Padfoot here," Remus said after a while with a small laugh. Sirius nodded with a smile, but he did not say anything as Harry woke and giggled at his mother.
"Hello love," Lily said smiling at her son. The others smiled as well.
Dumbledore came in after Remus and Sirius left for the night. Lily walked to stay with James. In fact, she vowed to never leave his side again. Dumbledore told them that she should not be alive but yet they were. He told them that they were the first people to live after being hit by the killing curse. Something happened that night and not even Dumbledore knows. Dumbledore before he left said sorry to James and told them that Sirius and Remus can live with them and help raise Harry. He added that he will come and meet them in a few weeks to see how they are doing. Lily smiled at him, but she was worried about Harry, so she asked: "Is Harry going to be alright? What about James will he be alright?" The was a worried tone to her voice. James taped her on her shoulder and smiled at her.
"Lily. I'm going to be ok. Legs or no. Yes, I do agree with Lily is Harry going to be ok?" James asked with worry to in his voice. Dumbledore smiled at him a little and nodded slowly.
"Yes, he will be just fine. I will see you later," after he said that he left leaving the small family to rest after a long day. Even though it was one in the morning.
Sirius let out a breath when he looked at Remus who did not seem to want to sleep. He tried to get him too. Even though he's not his father but Sirius worried about Remus. He, like himself, needed to sleep but he can't. He also thinks that neither can Remus. The two sat in Sirius's house in the living room drinking Firewhiskey. Remus was not saying anything as he stared at the fireplace and Sirius wondered what was going on in the werewolf's head. So, he took a deep breath before he said: "Remus, are you worried, or do you feel guilty about all of this?" Remus looked at him, but he did not meet his eyes and sighed sadly.
"What do you think, Sirius? Huh, we trusted him. I trusted him and look what he did. I can't even say his name anymore. That bastard," Remus muttered before he ran a hand through his sandy brown hair. "We called him brother. James and Lily could have died. What if they…" Remus cut off and walked out of the room with his cup in his hand. Sirius sighed and looked at the door. Then, he too got up and walked out of the room to get some sleep. He knew that Remus was just tired, but he knew that Remus was right. They did trust him and yet he almost got his friends, two people that he had called family, other than Remus anyway.
"Well, I guess I should…" Sirius cut off when his head hit his pillow and he fell asleep, just like Remus a few minutes later.
