"It'll be fine," he promised as he climbed out of Sirius' lap and indeed out of the car. Taking his lover's hand he said. "We'll get you a nice warm shower, and some supper, and a good night's rest." He looked at his watch and its face read, "Supper? Twat, it's 6 o'clock." He sneered at his watch. It would just be a very early supper. He hadn't eaten before 8 PM since he'd been at school but he could tell that Sirius needed some rest.
Gratefully Sirius just nodded and let James lead him inside the small house. Remus and Harry were sitting across from each other at a low coffee table playing a muggle game of checkers. They had quickly learned that the boy was absolutely terrified of magic and so exploding snap had been knocked off the entertainment list. Introductions were made and the boy was quiet and polite. It was sad to see such a sweet little boy look so worried. James told Remus he was going to help Sirius in the shower and Remus smiled knowingly at the pair.
Remus was slightly intimidated by the child. Harry was quietly intense and was far too aware of the world. After the pair had left he asked Remus softly, "Does my daddy love him?"
