Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. The wonderful JK Rowling does! I wish I did, then I'd be rich! Just kidding! Please don't sue me for writing a fan fic that I really hope you enjoy!

(A/N: Please don't send me angry reviews saying, "Sirius' parents were awful in the series!" I know this, I'm not an idiot, but its fan FICTION. My story, my way, that's my motto. If any of you seriously have a problem with it, I can consider changing it so they get an apartment instead of going to live in Sirius' house, but I don't know, you decide. Also, please read my Author Notes at the end of the chapter, they are EXTREMELY important.)

James was only vaguely aware of everyone coming through the house and shaking his hand. He was only vaguely aware of Sirius standing next to him, his hand on his shoulder. He was only vaguely aware of his grandmother rushing over and giving him a hug.

"James! Sirius! Oh boys!" said a woman with long black hair and chocolate eyes. She rushed over to them and pulled them into a hug.

"Mum! You're squishing us to death!" Sirius said, gasping for breath. "Where's dad?"

"Oh, he's talking to the Potter's lawyer. James, are you doing okay?" Sirius' mum asked, dabbing at her eyes with a handkerchief.

James nodded. "I think so. Thanks for coming Gail. Can I talk to Orion?"

Gail Black smiled. "Of course dear. I'll go get him." Gail bustled through the crowded living room to go find her husband, Orion Black.

Lily and Remus walked over to James and Sirius. "You feeling better James?" asked Lily. He nodded and gave her a small smile. She kissed him softly on the lips and wrapped her arms around him. James placed an arm loosely around Lily's waist, but didn't realize he did so.

Gail came back over, pulling her husband behind her. He had short brown wavy hair and dark blue eyes.

"Here he is James. Hello Remus! How are you?" Gail asked.

Remus smiled. "Just fine Gail. Would it be okay if I stayed at your house this summer? My mom and dad are going on another honeymoon." Remus' eyes darkened as he spoke. Lily felt sorry for Remus. Ever since a werewolf bit him, his parents basically tried to stay as far away from their son as possible. Lily knew he used to stay at the Potter's previous summers, but under the current circumstances...

Gail smiled sympathetically. "Of course you can. You're always welcome in our home,"

Orion glanced at Lily, then at James. He smiled slyly. "So James, who's this beautiful young lady?"

James gave a feeble grin. "This is Lily Evans. She's my girlfriend." The words felt strange in his mouth; girlfriend seemed like an immature phrase. In James' mind, their connection went far deeper than boyfriends and girlfriend.

Lily stepped forward and offered her hand, smiling shyly. "Nice to meet you Mr. And Mrs. Black."

Orion chuckled and took her hand. "Please call us Orion and Gail."

James blinked back tears. I wish I were introducing Lily to my own parents. Orion and Gail were like his second family, but he couldn't help but wish his parents were here. I never want to leave my kid without a family. It hurts too much.

"So James, what did you want to talk about?" Orion asked.

James snapped out of his reverie and turned to Orion. "Well, er, my parents probably want me to live with my grandmother, but I was wondering if I could live with you instead."

Sirius jumped in the air and Lily bit back a giggle. It reminded her of a Muggle cartoon she saw once called the Flintstones, where the main character jumps in the air and twinkles his toes when he's happy. "That would be so cool! We could be brothers!" He grinned and slapped James on the back. Lily bit her lip as she had expected him to shout 'Yabba Dabba Do'.

Orion smiled at Sirius. "Well, I don't know if your parents told you, but I'm your godfather and Gail is your godmother. Harold and Hallie were godparents to Sirius. So if it is indeed written in their will, you will move in with us at the Ancient and Noble House of Black."

James smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. At least I'll be home with my second family.

"...Will and Testament of Harold Nathan Potter and Halette Christine Rohde- Potter. They left a short note to their son James. It reads 'I hope you never have to hear this James. We want to tell you that we are so very proud of you. You are an excellent wizard and a perfect son. We both love you so much. More than I think you will ever know. We will always be with you.

"'For our beloved son, we leave this house and all of our money in Gringotts. We are not sure exactly how much money we have in Gringotts, but we do know that it is quite a lot and should be able to help you get by for the rest of your life. There is also another vault, which contains all of your childhood memories and all of our school memories.

"'For our dearest friends, Orion and Gail Black, we leave all of the photos of us together in school. We hope you will show James and any of his friends these pictures, because many of the stories he told us reminded us of our days together. We also leave in your care, James. Since you are his legal guardians now, we hope that will help our son grow to be some one we can be more proud of.

"'For Sirius, Harold would like to leave you with his old prank book. It has a list of all the pranks that he did when he was in school with your father. Harold says, 'I still can't believe you found that and I've always told you that you could have it when the time comes. And I suppose now is the time.' Also, we want to thank you for being the brother James never had. We feel as if you're our own son and we also proud of you too.

"'For Remus, Hallie would like to leave you with her crystal orb. Hallie says, 'I want you to use it to keep an eye on James and Sirius; you know those two need a watchful eye where ever they go.' You also have become like a son to us since you stayed with us all those summers. We want to thank you for keeping Sirius and James in line at school and we are both proud of you too.

"'We love each and every one of you so much.'" The lawyer finished and began handing out everything mentioned in the will. James was crying freely, Sirius had his hands over his eyes and was taking in long shuddering breaths. Remus was white and shaking, his eyes straight ahead. Gail was sobbing into her handkerchief and Orion was trying to comfort her.

"How long has he been locked in his room?" Gail asked Lily.

Lily sighed, pouring herself a cup of tea. "Two days. He needs to start going through his parent's things. I know it's hard, but he can't stay in there forever."

"Lily, I think you need to talk to him."

"I'll try my best Gail."

¤.¸¸.·´¨»«´¨·. ¸¸.¤

Lily knocked on James' door. "James? Can I come in?"

"No, leave me alone." James voice came, muffled by the heavy oak door.

"Look James, I know it's really hard going through this but you have to come out some time!" There was no answer. Lily tried opening the door but it was locked. She pulled out her wand and said, "Alohomora!" The door swung open and she stormed in the room.

It was a complete mess. She looked over at the bed and saw a bundle underneath the covers. She walked over to the bed and yanked off the covers. James moaned and pulled the covers back over his head. "Get up James! Please! For me?"

James didn't say anything. Lily sighed. "You forced me to do something I didn't want to do. Rictusempra!" James started flopping around on the bed laughing and trying to grab Lily.

"Lily…gasp…please…gasp…stop!"

Lily smiled mischievously. "Will you get out of bed?"

"YES! STOP…gasp…IT!"

Lily smiled. "Finite Incantatem." James sat on the bed gasping for breath.

"I lied. 'Night." He pulled the covers over his head.

Lily groaned. "Mobilicorpus." James' toned muscles tightened as invisible ropes bound him together. He opened his mouth to say something but Lily was faster. "Silencio! Locomotor James!" James raised a few feet off the ground. His mouth was moving but no sound was coming out. Lily guided him down the stairs and down a few hallways.

She steered him into the kitchen. Sirius, Remus, and Marissa were there, eating breakfast. They all looked surprised when Lily guided James into the kitchen. She lifted the wand and James fell to the floor, his mouth opening and closing rapidly. They were all certain if he had the ability to talk he would have been throwing curses Lily's way.

Lily performed the counter curses for the charms she used. James shot up, breathing heavily. "Evans, I'm going to kill you!"

"Not if you can't catch me!" Lily giggled and ran off, James following behind. Sirius, Marissa, and Remus looked at each other. They all burst out laughing.

They could hear an occasional crash, the thud of someone running into a wall (followed by a loud "Umph!"), the skid of feet sliding the carpet when taking a sharp corner, and various curses being shot through out the house. Sirius yelped as a beam of red light nearly hit him in the arse. Marissa screamed and ducked, barely missing a jet of white light. Remus performed the Shield Charm on all of them, and they chatted as if nothing were amiss.

Author Notes: Okkk…here's the story with the delay of this chapter and the extreme delay of my later chapters. I better start from the beginning. My mom's computer got a virus that shut her hard drive down and she couldn't access anything on it. So she took it out and hooked her hard drive up to my computer and transferred all her files to mine to back them up. Then she had to delete the virus and reformat her hard drive. Now we don't know how this happened, but somehow my hard drive crashed also. We thought, no problem, we'll just do the same thing by hooking it up to mom's new fresh computer. But it wouldn't accept the data.

I might loose all of my pictures, all of my word files (including all my chapters of Hogsmeade Kiss and my outline for the story), all my favorites, and all my music. When I found out about this, I seriously went into depression. I cried all night, and I skipped 3rd hour because I couldn't stop thinking about everything I might loose and I started to cry again. My life is on my computer and I can't bear to loose it. The thing that really set me off crying is all of my chapters for this story. It seems as if Fate doesn't want me to ever finish. But I will, I promise I will. I want to, I've put so much of my life and time and everything to work on this. I've cancelled plans with friends and family because I got a brilliant idea for another story or a future chapter and I just had to stay home and write it. I want to finish.

The reason I am able to post a chapter on here is because a long time ago when I was first starting we backed up all my files. All I have backed up is chapters 1-17. They are not edited. I tried to add the same variations I had before but it's so hard to remember this far back. There is a slim chance I'll get any of my files back, but we're taking it to a couple of professional companies to see what they can do.

Now, concerning the later chapters. I was writing a new one and I was almost done, I had one section left and I was half through writing it. That was when everything went to hell. My outline saved from chapter 17 is completely different than the one right before the crash. The layouts of chapters 35 through the end are not on there. The death of Lily and James, which I wrote forever ago, had not been saved. So I have no idea what these last few chapters entail because the details are hazy in my mind. If I can save the files, it would take about two weeks to get them back. If I can't…I don't know what I'm going to do. Please help…
