As the boat bumped into the dockings Sirius jumped. He hadn't even realized he'd drifted off. "You're fine," said a soothing voice next to his ear. "We've still got another 2 hours in front of us. But I'm gonna "drive" us in a "car" that Remus borrowed off a muggle he knows. We're gonna go to Remus'."
"Remus?" He asked as James took his hand and led him out of the boat and back to solid land.
"I got away from Voldemort two days ago. Remus took me in, found Harry, and set up the hearing for me to get you. We're gonna stay with him 'til we can find a place. Ok, love?" James asked as he opened the car door for Sirius.
"He thinks I did it."
"No, Sigh, he knows you're innocent."
"Harry? Is he. . ." he grappled for a word, "nice?"
"Lovely," the father beamed, "He's just. . . lovely."
"Good," Sirius smiled weakly in reply, "What's he like?"
"He's very timid. He was starved, ignored, beaten, and turned into a servant. Lily's relatives are bigger cunts than she ever was." After being married to Lily for two years he had grown reluctantly quite fond of the girl he had once loathed. "I want to kill them. But then I get sent to prison and I lose you and Harry all over again. I'll find some way to get them. Right now Remus has set the muggle children's welfare on them. While I was getting you out of that place Remus used a magically modified version of a video recorder-thing to tape the cupboard where Harry lived. And he used a truth serum on them and recorded them telling how badly they treated my little boy in great detail. He phoned some friend of his who works for the children services and the guy went over there while they were still dosed up and they confirmed everything in the tape to be true. There will probably be criminal charges leveled against them but I want them to really pay." James sighed, realizing that it was the longest thing he's said to Sirius and that perhaps it was too intense for his currently delicate lover to be hearing in his state. But he looked over and saw that Sirius just looked thoughtful and so he added, "I guess I've had a bit of a thing for vengeance lately. I killed Peter."
