I wake up, and you're still at my side. Harry is still snuggled up against my chest, but Remus is missing. I quietly shift Harry into your arms, you sleep on contedly and he curls up against you, and I stand up. Stretching, I realize its three in the afternoon. Remus must have gone downstaires after a while. As quiet as I can I poke my head out the door and look around.
'Hi James.' Lily says and kisses my cheek as she comes up the staires. 'Are they still asleep?'
'Remus isn't, hes off somewhere-'
'Kitchen.' She supplies.
'Sirius and Harry are.' I say. 'Lily...she hit him....your evil sister hit my son!' I suddenly explode. 'I'm going to kill her, and then I'm going to kill the stupid ministry officials, and then I'm going to kill everyone that ever hurt any of them!'
'James-'
'NO!' I shout. 'IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!'
'Prongs!' You're voice suddenly grabs me and I frown. 'Prongs, settle down...the Dursleys have been punished.'
'Not enough!' I say, a bit harsher then I mean. You wince, and drop your gaze to the floor. 'Siri....I'm sorry...but they hurt my son...my BABY.'
'Daddy.' Harry says quietly. 'If you hurt them, you'll go to Azkaban...and I would like to keep both parents. I don't want them dead, I just want them out of my life...please?'
'Fine..' I say, then mutter 'I still hate the Ministry.'
'Me too.' You said, then add a big more cheerfully 'Lets go eat.'
'Allright.' I say and walk down the staires. We sit in the living room, watching a Muggle TV. And suddenly, I realize, I just want peace. I want Harry to feel safe, I want you to never feel pain again, I want Remus to be able to do exacly what he wants.
'Jamie?' You ask, head pressed into my side.
'Yes, Sirius?' I murmurr, and twirl a few short locks of your thick black hair in my hands.
'Am I thin?'
'Yes.' I say uncertaintly, and gently tug on your hair until you look up at me. 'Why?'
'Cus...am I ugly?'
'No.'
'I think I am.' You say quietly.
'Well, you wern't in Hogwarts.' Lily says firmly. 'And I think once you put on a few pounds you'll be irristitable again.'
'Think so?' You say curiously.
'Yes.' Remus seconds. 'Harry'll have the sexiest godfather around.'
'Ewwwww, Remmie!" You say and burry your head in my robes. I laugh softly, and tousle your hair, and realazation hits me like a wave.
I'm not letting you get hurt again.
