As Remus and Sirius tore into their fifth and sixth pieces of pizza they

heard a resounding crash, followed by the sound of breaking glass. They

stared at each other in horror and ran into the nearby foyer.

Harry crawled into the foyer where his fuzzy disguise caught on the leg

of Mummy's table, topped with a glass vase full of silk flowers. He continued

to crawl forward despite his set back.

"Padfoo-" Harry giggled as he reached for his godfather's leather jacket

on the hat stand by the door. Unable to quite reach it, the tiny boy gave

the invisibility cloak one last tug, and the table tipped over, just as the hat

rack came crashing to the ground.

"Damn," Sirius commented as they looked at the glass and flower strewn

floor. James' cloak was bunched up by a toppled over table leg, glass littered

the usually kempt entrance to the Potter's house, and the hat rack topped with

the head of a lion was laying heavily on.

"HARRY!" Remus screamed as he picked his way over to lift the hat rack

and garments to find the baby. The only reason little Harry wasn't screaming

was because he had been completely winded by the large wood and brass rack that

had hit him. He had a few pieces of glass digging into his face and he raised

his tiny arms to Lupin.

"Oh, sweetie, it's okay," Remus cooed, as he picked Harry up gently, so as

not to cause anymore damage.

"Moon-moon," Harry coughed, burying his head in the familiar worn cloth

that covered Remus' shoulder.

"No, no, Harry, we need to get the glass off of your face, careful now,"

the werewolf gently pulled Harry's rapidly bleeding face away from him.

"Sirius, will you get Lily's copy of Magical Maladies and Injuries out please?"

"Oh no Moony, look at this mess.and we have spent an entire evening

looking for him! I say put the brat down and let him handle it, as he has so

proven himself capable of doing-"

"Sirius Black! He is a child, and didn't know better, but right now he

needs us to help him-"

"NO! Moony put him down before he uses some evil magic to-"

"Sir-Siri-.Pa'foo.goddada," Harry lost it on the last word and started

to cry, tears mixing with the glass and blood on his face.

"Don't you use your cute powers with me young man! Do you know the

trouble Moony and I went through to find you? And now your mom is going to- to-"

Harry had his big green eyes full of tears staring at him as if to say 'I'm

sorry God daddy I didn't know.I thought we were playing, but this doesn't feel

to fun right now'. And Harry reached his arms out to Sirius, just wanting to

feel the familiar warmth and sense of safety he always felt when playing with

his godfather. But this time he had gotten hurt, and where had Padfoot been?

"Come here my little Pronglet, come here. hush now.I've got ya.you're

safe now," Sirius took Harry in his arms and whispered in his ear until he

calmed down a bit.

"Never mind here, Accio Magical Maladies and Injuries! Here come into

the lavatory," Remus led the way into the hallway bathroom. Harry was clinging

to Sirius for dear life, so Sirius ended up sitting on the counter with his

godson in his lap.



~Not so far away, James and Lily were making their way home. It was taking

longer than usual because Lily convinced James to speed and they had gotten

pulled over. After Lily had caught the officer on fire because she was so mad,

James cast a quick memory charm and they continued on their way.

"I can't believe you decided to take me there of all places.and officers

these days.why can't a woman take care of her son!" Lily mumbled for the rest

of the car ride, while James took refuge in silence. ~

"There does that feel better honey?" Remus asked in a singsong voice as

he repaired the baby's ribs, "now about that precious face of yours.Ok, now this

is going to hurt a little bit okay? Sirius, make sure you hold his head

steady, I don't want the glass to go any deeper."

With two swift tugs Remus had gotten both fragments of glass out of

Harry's left cheek. Throwing them away, he asked Sirius to get a healing potion

from the cabinet. It never occurred to Sirius that Harry was prone to crawl off. Sirius retrieved the potion, and as he straightened up he knocked his head on the open cupboard.

"OW! Shit.oh, no.Harry?" Sirius turned to where Harry was only moments before to find Harry gone again. Still rubbing his head, he muttered about Lilly murdering him for blood on the carpet.

"Don't worry," Remus came behind Sirius holding Harry. "I caught him, klutz.no you know what? I stand by what I said earlier, you are A.D.D."

"Ouch.Is he laughing at me?" Sirius questioned, ignoring the last comment

about how handsome he was. Harry was sucking on his fist and smiling behind it.

"Why I think he is! Hey you should hurt yourself more often Sirius!"

"Oh shut up, and give me my godson, hmm?" Padfoot playfully ordered. As

soon as the healing potion had made contact with Harry's face he had started

crying again. Sirius blew on the rapidly receding cuts and kissed his cheek

for good measure.

"That was too adorable, old friend," Remus commentated warmly.

"Yeah, yeah, well if you want to show your real love for him, you can

change his diaper," Sirius all but threw Harry at his friend and slammed the door

shut behind him.

"Oh no you don't! I don't have my wand you idiot! Oh poppycock." Remus

resigned as Sirius' gales of triumph rang through the door.

********

Harry giggled as Remus tickled him on the belly.he was feeling much

better.

"Okay I think it is time we feed him and get him to bed Sirius, we can

clean this mess up afterward."

Sirius took Harry into the living room while Remus whipped up something

for dinner. "Couldn't we just grind the pizza up? I'm certain he would enjoy

that, wouldn't you? Wouldn't my baby," Sirius lay on the floor while Harry

crawled on his chest.

Here let me have him," Remus came in with some small pieces of chicken

and peas. He set the dish on the empty pizza boxes and sat with Harry in the

chair. "No not my shirt, the peas silly.hey you."

Harry was tired of peas and began to suck on Remus' sweater. After about

five minutes Remus gave up and just let Harry explore his green, but once dry pullover.

"Will you please take him Sirius.I'm soaked," Moony handed the baby to

the pile of pillows on the couch and grabbed the bib to try and dry himself off a

little.

Harry laughed and played pica boo with his friend for a while, and then

he yawned and lay down on Sirius' chest.

Sirius kept talking gently so Harry could fall asleep to the sound of his

voice and the beat of his heart. The heart that loved him very much.

"Hey God dad, what are we going to tell Lily and James when they-"

But Remus Lupin never finished his sentence because a key was placed in the

front door.

Mwahahahhaha! Evil ending! Don't worry more will be up soon! But alas, the end draws near. I hope you liked my chapter! Please keep sending great reviews! Thanks.
