Epilogue

Remus stepped back in to Grimauld place feeling happy with the way things had gone at the funeral. Many friends, most of which he never really expected to turn up, had to pay their last respects to him as they had remembered him in their old school days. Making his way over to the kitchen, he felt the feeling of loneliness creep upon him before Sirius had been uncovered as an innocent man. For a while Remus sat at the table with his hands covering his face grieving privately and closing a new door. He felt that although he just wanted to waste away in front of the fire,but he had responsibilities to carry out. For one, helping Harry, training him up for the big fight between him and Voldiemort, which would now weigh him down. For another, helping the secret order service to collect information and uncover fiends. Now more than any other time, Remus felt the sheer pressure mounting up upon him and the rest of the group as soon Voldiemort would plunge them into an unwanted and uncalled for war.

"Stop it, just…don't think about it." He scolded himself "We will win."

He added as a plea of hope.

"Mrs Weasley, I'm just going for a walk up the alockment for a bit" Whispered Harry into Molly's ear as they arrived back at The Burrow.

"Ok Harry dear, I'll send Ron to get you when dinner is ready." Said Molly sympathetically as she unlocked the kitchen door. She often worried about him even when he was having fun. She just couldn't help it. Five years and it seemed Harry had been in the family from the start. Molly would have adopted him if she had got the chance but unfortunately he had to stay at his dreadful aunt and uncle. Molly sighed as she grabbed her apron and 'Accio'ed' the vegetables from the pantry. 'It won't be long now until it's Harry who has to fight Him. I hope he will be fine…'

"Mum where's Harry?" Asked Ron as he walked into the kitchen.

"He went for a walk. Leave him be for a while. You can go and get him when dinner is nearly ready but in the meantime I want you to get Bill and set the table outside. There will not be enough room in here to fit us all in."

"Sure. Bill, give us a hand will ya?" Shouted Ron out of the window into the yard where Bill, Charlie and Arthur were chatting.

"Be there in a minute!" Yelled Bill.

"I hope Harry's alright." Hermione said quietly pulling on an apron and grabbing a knife to help with the veg.

Molly smiled at the young lady.

"He'll be fine. He just needs time by himself to overcome the shock of Sirius's death." She replied soothingly.

Hermione nodded and carried on chopping the cabbage.

Severus Snape was still in shock that Sirius had just passed over his godfather duties to him. Striding back up to the castle by himself, Severus glared up at the sky as if it had just said something offensive to him. 'Why him? Why the hell would anyone appoint HIM godfather? WHY?'. That was all that kept going round in his head. WHY. He and the boy didn't get on at all and now since Sirius died he expects him to just drop everything and welcome the boy into his open arms as if nothing had ever happened. 'Fat chance Black. Fat chance'

Severus banged open his office door and the candles lit up instantly. He threw himself into his chair and grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the cupboard beside him.

"A bit early to start drinking isn't it Severus?"

Severus didn't need to turn around and face the man who had just addressed him for he had been expecting a visit from him ever since he walked through the great doors of the entrance hall.

"Not when you have just been made godfather to your worst enemy's son, Albus" He replied and twisted round to face him.

Albus transfigured an extra seat from nowhere, then sat down and smiled at the young man opposite him.

"I knew you would see the situation this way."

Severus raised his eyebrows and sighed.

"Sorry how rude of me, would you like a drink?"

"Erm, no thank you. Maybe some other time." Albus declined politely.

"Pick a date and I'll be there" Snorted Severus as he downed a shot.

Albus chuckled at the younger man.

"You know, I think you care more for Harry than you let on."

Severus frowned.

"What on earth makes you say that?"

"You haven't said 'no' to the position. If you really didn't want it you would have said a straight no."

Severus sighed and took another gulp.

"I…I dunno. I don't hate the boy, I just…don't know. My pride half of me says 'NO' and my other half says that perhaps I can help him…" Severus stared at the half empty bottle beside him.

"He needs as much help as he can get to make it through this war. Try to set aside your feelings of hate for James and focus on the future. You have done so well for yourself I can't tell you how proud I am. Just give it a go and if you can't handle it then pass it on to Remus. No one is forcing you to take it." Said Albus gently his blue eyes twinkling as they usually did. And having said that, Albus got up and left the younger man to think about his choices and the up coming war.
