His first thought when he came too was his wife and son. Another thought came to him when he opened his eyes and looked around his home. He tried not to think about it, but it just popped into his head. How was he alive? However, he will worry about that later. James Potter opened his eyes and groaned. He gasped a little when he saw the door blown off its hinges. Dust and pillow stuffing was everywhere. Wood splintered the floor. "Lily?" James called getting to his feet. "Lily?" he called again, walking to the stairs. "Lily?" he asked again, walking into Harry's room. Tears were in his eyes when he saw his wife on the floor and his son crying in his crib. A large scar still bleeding on his forehead. "Harry? Oh, thank Merlin," James said, picking up his son and he felt tears in his eyes when he saw his wife not moving on the floor. "I'm sorry Lily," James muttered, sinking to the floor next to her with his son in his arms.

James didn't know how long he sat there with his son still crying in his arms as he stared at his wife. However, he flinched when he heard the door open quickly. "James! Lily!" Sirius Black called from downstairs. He sounded out of breath. "Are you in here? I need help, they found me please!" Sirius called looking out the window to see the shine of wands. Sirius ran up the stairs and gasped when he found his best friend holding onto his son by the body of his best friend's wife. "Oh Merlin," Sirius muttered, getting down and sighing. "Is Harry, okay?" Sirius asked with a small smile when he saw his Godson smile at him. James nodded.

"Yeah, they are after you? What did you… oh, they think," James stood up and looked to the blown-off door when he heard people run in. "Oaky. I... we can fix this," James said looking at his son who was asleep in his arms. Sirius nodded as they both went down the stairs. In front of them was a hoard of Aurors in the entryway. Sirius sighed and looked at his Godson.

"Sirius Black, you are under arrest for the murder of thirteen people," one of the Aurors said aiming their wand at Sirius. Sirius slowly raised his hands.

"I didn't do anything. It was Peter. James, can you tell them?" Sirius said as he was turned around by one of the Aurors. James rocked his son in his arms and nodded.

"Li... Lily and I changed it to Peter at the last minute," James said quickly. Sirius nodded fast and watched as they took his wand.

"Is there any way to prove that?" one Auror asked. They kept Sirius there by the door. Which Sirius and James were glad of.

"Do you have any Veritaserum?" James asked, bouncing his son. The Auror holding Sirius nodded. He then pushed Sirius into the only unbroken chair and held him there.

"Bring it here," he demanded, holding out a free hand before he ran a hand through his brown hair. Sirius watched the bottle before he looked at his sleeping Godson and smiled a little. However, there was worry in his grey eyes. The Auror took it and raised an eyebrow at James. "Now, if you are wrong. We are taking you to Azkaban. Do you understand?" Sirius nodded as he took the bottle.

"Padfoot if he asked that question. We will tell Remus later," James said as Sirius nodded and took a small sip.

After a few minutes, the Auror stood in front of Sirius with his arms crossed. "Your name?" the Auror asked taping his foot.

'Sirius Black the third," Sirius answered, looking at his Godson. This is all for him, he could do this.

"Did you blow up that street?"

"No, it was Peter Pettigrew. He did, not me," Sirius said with a smirk.

"And where is he now?" the Auror asked, looking around him at the others who all walked to the front door.

"I think in hiding. The last time I saw him he cut off his own finger and went down the drain. He's an animagus." Sirius answered. The Auror handed Sirius the antidote and Sirius took it quickly.

"Thank you, Mr. Black. Okay everyone we are looking for a rat missing a toe. Let go," the Auror said, leading everyone out of the house.

James watched them go and wiped the tears from his eyes. "That was close, thank you Prongs," Sirius said looking at his Godson. James nodded and followed Sirius's eyes.

"Right, let's get Harry to a healer and then we can figure out what to do next," James said as he walked out of the house with Sirius following him.

"We can do this James, I know it," Sirius said with a small smile. Knowing that he was right. They can do this.
