Remus had known without being told that he had to go down. Orion had assured him the Blacks would protect him but he didn't need it. He would take the risk for Sirius but more for Harry. He loved Sirius and Severus, both a huge part of who he was, but Harry was different. Harry was the one who brought him back from the brink of death. And before that had helped him become a shifter. The wolf loved Harry as much as his human self. He realized that the wolf was a true part of him and he could embrace it and not lose himself. He even thought his cat form was in part due to Harry. He had cat like qualities but his godson's obsession with cats began before him and Zar. Lily had a cat that Harry had adored before it died.

He saw the shock in the others but they motioned for him to come into the den. He was only slightly more shocked when he was directed to floo to Potter manor. He had taken Harry before but with Fleamont in a coma had turned to the Blacks.

Fleamont was surprised but happy to see them. "I am relieved to see you my boy."

Remus smiled a tad."I know I am needed to free Sirius."

The man shook him off. "I meant you. You know Euphemia and I cared for all of you."

Remus went and kissed the man on the cheek. "And I was always grateful. Especially when my mother died."

Harry looked at Remus and and at the man. "No nice. He send hurt."

Fleamont sighed. "I promise my boy I would never send you anywhere you'd be hurt."

Harry eyed him. "Daddy say you play."

Fleamont smiled a little. "When I get stronger."

Arcturus cut in."If this little reunion is over we have work to do."

A voice came from the door. "I guess I am on time then."

Walburga was confused. "How did you know?"

Remus surprised them. "I sent Kreacher for him before I came down."

"Breaking into my house and charming my elf?" Arcturus snarled.

Remus reminded him. "The home belongs to Sirius. Orion convinced the elf."

Grimmauld was legally the home of the Black heir. Not all families did but when the heir of the Black family came of age Grimmauld passed to them. It's why Orion and his wife had lived there mainly though they had use of manors too. With the death of his father Sirius was heir and the home was his. He had put it in his will that Remus had access to the house and use of Blackstone, a manor he inherited from Alphard. Remus had been named Harry's godfather and guardian by all three parents, allowed for a wolf in the will. The homes and vaults were meant to provide him security when he raised Harry if he had to step up. The dads had known Remus would feel wrong touching Harry's trust to raise him. James left him an actual home and money not just to raise Harry. Goblin laws meant even with Sirius alive, when he went to prison, his will came into play. It's how he had come and gone.

Arcturus was shocked as he was told including Remus explaining Harry popping like he did to Orion. Like Orion he had answers to why Harry came and how the first times but not how since. He did it alone like when he took Zar to Pollux.

Walburga answered that. "Elven blood."

Arcturus was confused. High elves rarely bred with humans and there were none here. He looked at Fleamont. "Hiding your blood?"

Fleamont was as confused. "There is no elves in my tree. A veela or two."

Walburga cut in. "His Black side."

Arcturus growled."I certainly would know if we had elf blood."

Pollux spoke up. "Your line doesn't."

Arcturus turned to Pollux. The man was not only his son's father in law but his cousin. "Your line?"

Pollux admitted. "Irma was a half elf."

Fleamont was stunned. "How did no one know?"

Pollux sighed. "People fear elf magic. My father in law thought it safer. I didn't even know until Cygnus vanished one day."

Arcturus realized. "Apparated like Harry?"

"Found him in the barn with the cats. He shared his great nephew's love for felines it seems."

Fleamont thought aloud. "Elves have a link to nature."

Arcturus wondered. "Surely Cygnus and Harry would not be the only ones."

Walburga smiled. "We all show bits. Tonks being a metamorphmagus is likely linked."

Pollux added. "Harry though it seems the strongest since Irma. My granddaugter is the only who has come close before ."

"Why? It is so diluted now." Arcturus was shocked.

Fleamont spoke up. "Likely my son."

Walburga eyed him. "Your son."

"I guess it is a day of secrets. Myself and my grandson are the last Gryffindors."

Walburga was shocked. "Why they were attacked."

Moody spoke up. "Why both boys were."

Moody was one of the few who knew that both Harry and Neville were heirs. Alice Longbottom and Neville were Huflepuff. It is believed Voldemort learning of the prophecy that an heir was his downfall. Ravenclaw was thought died out or if not no one knew. He had gone after both boys and their parents to end the risk. It was why Fleamont had been poisoned. Harry was targeted for his Gryffindor blood but was likely it and the elf blood that saved him. The love story was Albus as he didn't know and needed an excuse to put Harry with the Dursleys. Augusta Longbottom should have had Harry with Remus missing and Alice insane. Alice was his godmother and Augusta should have claimed him and did. But Albus insisted he had to go to Petunia for the blood wards.

Walburga snorted. "Lily was not his mother."

Remus reminded her. "She loved Harry with her entire heart. Not just in death."

Arcturus reluctantly agreed. "Whether it saved him or not, she died by his crib trying to save him."

Harry broke the silence as he sat playing with a cat they hadn't seen. "Sunshy, my sunshy'.

Remus had tears. "Her lullaby to him."

Fleamont seemed to know the song and scooped up the boy cat and all. "Please don't take my sunshine away."

Harry looked up at him. "Grandpa know?"

Flemont nodded. "I heard her."

Arcturus turned to Moody. "My grandson."

"This will free him but Albus will go for Harry. He will expect him with the muggles."

Harry sobbed. "No. No."

Fleamont held him. "They won't touch you."

Remus suggested."We could send them on holiday. They'd leave him with Arabella."

"Can we trust her? She works for him." Arcturus shot.

"She has hid me. She babysits Harry since he went. No one will think it odd."

It was determined the Dursleys would be encouraged to take an all paid vacation. Of course they would leave Harry with a sitter. They hadn't even reported him missing as they hated him. Harry would be with Arabella for a day, two at most. But even with Sirius free Albus could not know where Harry had been. Harry was terrified though they were sending him away and Moony wasn't coming.

Arcturus looked at the kitten and thought. "I doubt she would mind another. Zar and Kreacher will go with you."

Remus had been the one to take Harry. He swore to the little boy it would be two days at most and after he'd have Papa back. Harry was a bit upset still but happy Zar had been brought. Remus had been right that Arabella would help and she could be trusted. He didn't reveal that Arabella had been in his life since birth. John Figg, her late wizard husband, had been colleagues with Lyall Lupin. Their wives, a muggle and a squib, had bonded despite slight age difference. His middle name was for his godfather. It seemed to be fate the Dursleys lived across the road from her. Arabella became a perfect spy for Albus but never loyal.

He wished he could stay but he clearly had a role in all of this. He was reminded Harry was safe and he would soon be with Papa. He knew there would be a lot with Albus to face but Harry needed his Papa back.

Sirius found himself brought before Amelia and others in court. "I have another day."

Albus had come in. "Another day will not help you hide your crimes."

Amelia spoke up. "You are here as a silent viewer."

Albus bowed. "Of course."

Amelia turned to Sirius. "I am told evidence has been brought."

Sirius worried but he didn't see gloating on Albus. "Evidence?"

The doors opened behind Him. "Evidence to clear you."

Sirius saw his grandsire and to his shock his mother. "You found him?"

Walburga answered. "He found us."

Amelia called. "If you have evidence present it."

Albus snarled. "There is no body they have nothing."

Another judge spoke "Another word and chief warlock or not you will be escorted out."

Sirius was amazed when he heard a voice. "There is no body to be found."

All eyes turned to the door again where at first they saw only Moody but someone appeared under an invisibility cloak. Sirius had never been so relieved to see anyone in his entire life. And it was not because he needed the man to get out of prison. Moony was his brother and without James he was the closest family besides his son. Blood meant nothing to him here. He had hoped Remus was alive but part of him worried he was dead. He was so relieved to know he had been right.

Remus was as happy to see his old friend but he was forced to take a vertiserum. He was alive but he also had to testify he had not been betrayed by Sirius. He knew what allies it was safe to out to how he got back.

Amelia asked. "We were told you were dead in Germany."

"I was attacked when I went to meet with a pack. I nearly died but allies got me out."

"Did Sirius know where you were?"

Remus shook his head. "He thought I was in France."

"How did you escape if no one knew?"

"Lord Krum was my contact He feared when I missed a check in. He had a source to get me out."

"Contact?" Albus demanded ignoring the warnings.

"Xeno. He and his wife knew some of the pack through their work. They had an ally rescue me."

Amelia looked to the other judges. "How do we rule?"

There was a silenced discussion and Sirius held his breath. "Please."

Amelia turned back. "Sirius Black you are cleared of all suspicion. You are a free man."

Moody came to free him but also handed him his wand. "Long over due."

Remus seized him in a bear hug. "Thank Merlin."

Sirius returned the hug but he also looked to his family. He had left years ago but his son changed that. His father had wanted to see him before he died and his mother had been shocked he came. He had learned he was to be a dad though and he had felt a draw to tell them. He knew Harry was in danger even back then and could use his family. He knew no matter what his parents would want to protect their grandchild if they knew of him. He had seen a different side of his mother with Harry.

Albus cornered them outside. "This is not over."

Sirius glared at the man. "Where is he?"

Albus smirked. "With his family where he belongs."

"I am his godfather. He belongs with me." Sirius growled.

Albus went to leave. "You are in no shape. I am sure you will see reason."

Sirius was seething as he found himself led off. He found himself to further shock at Potter manor where he found Fleamont and Pollux. He was relieved Fleamont was awake and when he reunited with the old man he was filled in on what happened. He was not shocked his family knew it all but that his grandsire was taking it so well. He didn't like lies.

He looked at his family. "I need my son."

Arcturus assured him. "Albus won't stop you. He belongs here."

Remus assured him."We know where he is and he is safe."

They had to go through the right route as they didn't need Albus fighting or finding out the truth now. They had no intention of him knowing that Harry was a Black before it was needed. They would get the paper work and Sirius would have his son back soon. And for now Harry was safe with Arabella and her cats. Sirius ground his teeth to hear his son mentioned with cats.

Arcturus assured him. "Tomorrow you will have him."

They had made sure Moody was watching Harry. They did worry that Albus may try and take Harry while they waited. He wouldn't risk it himself but they could see him setting it up. They were not shocked when Fletcher was caught in the area and knew who he was working for. The man had always been a stooge for Albus. They arranged muggle police to catch him breaking into the Dursley house. It was of course empty as the three of them were away and Harry was across the road.

Sirius was relieved when he had the paper work in hand the next day. Technically he was not his son's godfather but guardian yes. Augusta helped with some. She knew the full truth and had been happy to help.

He was not shocked when Albus arrived moments after he got to the street. "You can stop this."

Sirius glared. "I am taking my cub,"

"You have no where to go and no help.'

"I inherited estates from my Uncle and the Potter estate in Harry's name." Sirius reminded him.

Remus added. "And he is not alone."

"A werewolf?" Albus growled.

"You were the one who supported me going to school." Remus reminded him.

Sirius went towards the door. "He is coming home."

Albus smirked when there was no answer. "Seems not."

Remus glared at them. "Where have you sent them?"

Albus played dumb. "No idea I haven't had contact since I brought him."

"You had someone watching we both know it."

Albus reluctantly admitted that of course he did. It looked like he would refuse but Moody and another auror had come with them. He was reminded he didn't need legal trouble for denying anything. He honestly had no idea where they were. He had been expecting news from Fletcher but the man had disappeared. He was grateful he only paid the man half up front as it seemed the thief had taken off with the money and not done what he was paid for. He didn't know why he used the man.

He directed them across the road to Arabella's house reminding them she was a member of the order. He knew she had babysat the boy a few times already. He knew she would know where the family was. She was surprised when she opened.

Arabella shrugged when asked. "They went on a winter trip yesterday."

Sirius played along. "Where? I need to find Harry."

Albus went to leave. "I guess it will wait."

Arabella stopped them. "They did not take the boy."

Moony snarled. "What?"

Arabella motioned them in. "He is here."

Albus was shocked but he stopped Sirius. "You wouldn't wish to scare him. I doubt he recalls you."

But Sirius went into the living room where he found Harry surrounded by cats including he swore his grandfather's demon."Cub."

Harry looked up in sheer heaven. "Paddy. Paddy. Paddy."

Sirius bent and scooped him up. "Yes cub."

Harry buried his head against him sobbing over and over. "Paddy."

Remus looked at Albus. "You can leave now."

The man went to go but called. "This is far from over."

Sirius ignored everything but his baby. "My baby."

Harry clung to him. "Home Pappadi?"

Sirius kissed his curls. "Home."

He wasn't sure where home would be but for now he was to meet the family at Grimmauld. All that mattered right now was his little boy. Nothing in the world mattered other then that little boy in his arms. He had been dreaming of his son for months. His little cub kept him sane in that cell. He saw Remus scoop up a cat and to his shock he realized it was in fact the demon. He had no idea what the demon cat was doing with his son but he didn't care. All that mattered was having his son back.

He found himself in the den of Grimmauld. He had been told his grandfather had been using it but it was his home technically. His father's painting was above the fireplace this time. It seemed to have been moved for this.

Orion was happy. "You are free and together."

Sirius smiled at his dad. "Yes father."

Walburga went to take Harry but he refused to leave Sirius. "Papa."

Sirius was not about to give him up. "Papa is never giving you up."

Pollux sat down across from them. "Hopefully he will stop popping now."

Arcturus eyed him. "There is a matter of housing."

Sirius smirked. "Do not worry yourself I will not kick you out. Unlike some people."

Arcturus growled. "You ran last I looked. And he needs a safe home."

"We will go to a Potter home. Fleamont will be happy to have us."

Walburga ground her teeth. "You are not leaving us again."

Harry spoke up. "Grandpas."

Remus reminded him. "It can not hurt for Harry to have more family."

Sirius grunted. "We will stay here. FOR NOW."

It was his home and he had every right to remain. He felt like pointing out his home from Alphard was a Black home but let it drop for now. He doubted Pollux or Arcturus had any prolonged interest in Harry other than as heir and would soon bore of this. Fleamont he was sure to be the only grandfather Harry had. But for now he would play nice but he planned it to be a short stay.

He growled when he saw the demon near his son. "But you will stop trying to convert him to a cat person."

AN: So Sirius is free and reunited with Moony and more importantly with his son. Albus is not done by a long shot.

Yes the elf and Gryffindor revelations are a part. Equally.

And Yes this story is about three grumpy old men and Harry. Even with Sirius back. Each man has a role to come with Harry, even the grumpy old Pollux. They all have a lot to offer Harry grumps and all.
