Chapter 7: Day out
Harry was growing to like his time with the Weasleys. This was becoming apparent to Remus when the baby began to cry when he left the house. That is when Remus decided that maybe Sirius, Harry, and he should spend a day together.
Sirius was too busy between work and plotting to notice much of what was going on with baby Harry. Remus was thankful that he had decided to help Sirius or Harry would have been long forgotten weeks ago. Why Lily and James had even asked Sirius to be the boy's godfather still baffled Remus.
Finally the plans were made. Harry was dressed in muggle coveralls and little sneakers and Sirius looked as much like a muggle as possible. They were off to the park. Remus let the boy, who was toddling now, down onto the clean cut grass. The boys eyes widened at all the playground equiptment. Harry looked at Remus and said one of the few words he knew.
"Play?" he asked the man.
"yes Harry. Go play with Padfoot. He'll even push you on the swings if you ask him. I'll join you in a minute."
"Kay." Harry hurried as fast as he could towards where Sirius was waiting.
"Is he your son?" a woman's voice asked from behind him.
Remus turned startled. "What? Oh no. He's my nephew." Remus used the first title he could think of. He would never try to take James' place.
"So he's just visiting you for a few hours?" she was curious.
"No he lives with us. His parents died a few months ago." Remus answered and watched as a shocked look covered her face.
"Sirius! Don't let him do that! He'll hurt himself!" Remus yelled catching site of Sirius letting Harry walk across a pole 10 ft high.
"Oh come on. You didn't care if I did it when we were in school." Sirius stated as he took Harry down.
"Yeah but you were expendable. Harry here is not. No one would care if you broke your head open because it would be less headaches for us." Remus replied simply.
Sirius had an outraged look on his face. The woman had moved on and Remus now took Harry's hand.
"Want to go on the slide little man?" he asked the black haired toddler.
Harry nodded vigorously and the trio headed towards the slide. They spent all day playing and laughing like a normal family.
Harry was tired when they got home and fell asleep on Remus' lap while Sirius was getting his bed ready. Remus looked at the boy and smiled. He looked so like James. Remus bent and laid a gentle kiss on the boy's head before gently lifting him and taking him into his room.
After he tucked the boy in and Sirius had left, Remus turned on the nightlight and moved towards the door.
"Sleep little angel boy, you need your strength to play tomorrow, I love you." Remus shut the door leaving it open a crack.
A/N: That has got to be one of the longer chapters of the story. How sad is that?
