I don't own anything you recognise
Sirius and Jess were sitting in the living room of their house when James head appeared in the fire "Hey Prongs, what's up?" Asked Sirius.
"Sirius me and Lily need to talk to you can we come over there?"
"What now?" Asked Sirius.
"Yeah its kind of important"
Sirius who was slightly alarmed at the serious look on his friends face said "Yeah sure Prongs come over straight away"
"Thanks mate" James head disappeared from the fire for a few seconds until James himself came tumbling out of the fire "ummph" Said James as he landed not very graciously on the floor of the living in front of the fire.
Sirius helped him up then said, "Well let's hope Harry hasn't inherited your bad flooing abilities."
"Ha ha, Padfoot" Said James.
"So what's wrong" Said Sirius suddenly remembering that his friend wanted to talk to him.
"Wait until Lily gets here we need to ask you something" As James said that Lily came tumbling out of the fire landed on her feet with Harry in her arms.
"Well let's hope Harry's inherited her Flooing abilities, she can actually land on her feet."
"Oh shut up Padfoot." Said James starting to get frustrated with his friend.
"Ok sorry now what was it you wanted to talk to me about."
"There's something we have to tell you guys."
"What" Said Jess "Is there something wrong with Harry."
"No Jess don't worry there's nothing wrong with Harry but this is about Harry." James Paused took a deep breath then continued, "It's Voldemort, He's after Harry."
Jess put a hand over her mouth in shock and Sirius said "But why Harry? What's Harry ever done to him?"
"He's only a baby" Said Jess looking at her nephew who was playing with Lily's hair unaware of the serious conversation going on between the four adults in the room. "Why would anyone want to hurt him?"
"There was a prophecy made a few weeks before Harry was born." Started James.
"A prophecy" Said Sirius "Made by who?"
"Sybil Trewlawney, she's the new divination teacher at Hogwarts you met her Padfoot."
"She's the weird women that went round predicting everyone's death, wasn't she?"
"Yeah, But she's also the Great, Great Granddaughter of the seer Cassandra Trewlawney, Have you ever heard of her."
"Yeah I think so," answered Sirius.
"Well apparently Sybil Trelawney has inherited some of her power"
"What did the prophecy say Prongs?"
"It said-
The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches … born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies … and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have the power the Dark Lord knows not … and either must die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives … the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies …"
"And Dumbledore thinks it means Harry?" Asked Jess after a minute of silence that had followed James retelling of the prophecy.
"Dumbledore is almost certain the prophecy means Harry, I mean think about it, it says the child will be born as the seventh month dies Harry's birthday is the 31st of July, the prophecy says that the child will be born to parents that have thrice defied him, me and Lily have escaped Voldemort three times each."
"So there's no doubt that the prophecy is about Harry." Said Jess.
"Well there is a chance the prophecy could be about another boy Neville Longbottom" Said Lily.
"Is he Frank and Alice's son?" Asked Sirius suddenly remembering them having a young child at the reunion.
"Yes, Dumbledore thinks it is either Harry or Neville so he has been trying in every way possible to protect us and the Longbottoms." Said James.
"But why are you telling us this?" Asked Sirius.
"Dumbledore found this spell yesterday, the Fidelius charm it's basically the concealment of a secret inside another living person."
"I'll do it." Said Sirius without hesitation.
"Sirius-" Lily started.
"No Lily I'll do it, I'll do anything o protect you guys." said Sirius determinedly
"Sirius we want you to think it over properly." Said James "Think about what you'll have to give up you might have to go into hiding yourself."
"Prongs I already said I'll do it, and nothing you or Lily say is going to change my mind." Said Sirius still with the same determination.
Lily and James looked ay each other and both knew they weren't going to be able to change their friends mind "Ok Padfoot, but you must know the risks that this involves."
"I know the risks it puts me on Voldemorts hit list along with you guys."
"Sirius you are going to have to go into hiding Jess you can choose whether you go into hiding with him."
"I'm going" Said Jess.
Sirius looked at her swollen stomach then said "Jess maybe you'd be better not in hiding with me I mean what if Voldemort finds out where I am and I'm not there he could kill you and the baby."
"Sirius" Said Jess putting a finger on his lips to silence him "I'm going into hiding with you me and the baby will probably be more protected if were in hiding anyway, please Sirius let me go with you."
"I'm not going to have a choice am I?" asked Sirius knowing what the answer was going to be.
"No" Said Jess they then shared a short kiss before James interrupted them by coughing
"Umm guys maybe we should get going, you know leave you guys to talk about what you are going to do."
"Prongs" Said Sirius turning reluctantly away from his wife "We don't need to talk it over I'll be your secret keeper, now go Dumbledore might want to know what the decision is."
"Yeah I guess you're right I'm not going to get either of you to change your minds am I?"
"No" They both said together.
"Yeah but you guys still need to talk about it"
"We'll talk about it ok Prongs, now go."
"Alright, alright I can take a hint." Said James "Come on Lily lets leave these two lovebirds alone shall we."
"Prongs go before either me or Jess try to kill you." Said Sirius starting to get annoyed.
"Ok, ok I'll be by tomorrow to tell you what Dumbledore said"
"Fine" Said Sirius "Just go"
"Bye"
"Bye" Said Sirius
James and Lily apparated out of their house into their own.
