My brother may hate me for something that I don't believe in. But I need to go see him. I need to hear what happened that night. Did he truly betray the Potters like they say. I shake my head trying to remove those thoughts. That's impossible he loved them more then Reg and I. Left us behind to fend for our selves. I arrive at the cold place that is Azkaban. I turn in my wand to the guards and head up to see my brother. I thank every powerful witch and wizard that I didn't bring Theo and Draco. They would be so scared here. Trying to put on a brave face, but underneath terrified.

"Hello brother." I say as I arrive at his cell.

"What are you doing here Rainy?" He asks me. Using the nickname, he gave me when I was just a girl.

"I'm here to hear your side of the story." I tell him.

"Why after all these years? Why now?" He asks.

"Well first I was trying to get clearance then when I finally did, I got custody of Theo and Draco. They were too young, so I stayed with them. Holding them closely. We moved to America to get them away from the media." I explain. "I was finally able to get clearance once more."

"So, you think I killed them?" He asks me.

"No, I don't believe that in the slightest. So, I gave your friend Remus a job." I tell him.

"You did?" He asks shocked

"Of course, he was one of your best friends. You cared a lot about him. So, I decided that when I got the boys, he would become their au pair. Or nanny, I guess. He loves it. Lives in our house and looks after the boys teaching them everything he can."

"You did that for me?"

"You may hate me Sirius, but I still love you." I wanted to tell him that Reg still loved him too, but thinking he is dead is for the best right now.

"I never hated you Raine. I just needed away and with Regulus going to the death eater side, I saw you following."

"Do you know why he became a death eater?" I ask him.

"To support the cause. Make mother proud." He says

"No, it was so they didn't go after you. He played good son and I played good daughter, so you got to be free. To do what you wanted." I say with tears in my eyes. "Reg became a death eater so you wouldn't have to."

"What?!" He says looking devastated. Tears fall down his face. "You two did that for me."
Of course we did Sirius. We love you so much." I say hoping he doesn't miss my slip of the tongue.

"Where are you living now then?" He asks me. Trying to put the loss behind him.

"In a place called Smallville. It's a small town, but the boys are in primary school there. They seem to like it. there is another family that just moved back apparently." I tell him.

"A small town in America. Is it a big wizarding community in that area?" he asks.

"No, I live in a muggle community." I tell him.

"You? Living as a muggle?" He asks stunned.

"Yes, contrary to what you believed I never believed mom. Reg did for a little while then changed his mind, but he still had to protect you and I." I tell him.

"You and Reg stayed close?"

"Yes, we did. Up till the very end." I tell him.

"Time's up!" I hear the guard yell.

"I love you rainy." Sirius say taking my hands through the bar.

"I love you too, Siri." I reply.

I start to walk away I turn back "Is there anything you need me to do?' I ask

"Please, check on Harry, my godson." He says

"Harry Potter?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I will check on him then come back." I tell him.

I leave. I take a portkey back to Smallville. I walk back to my house. I see Remus entertaining the boys, with some toys. I walk in the door.

"RAINE!" Both boys yell and run up to me giving me a hug.

"Hello, boys." I say. "What did you boys get up to today?"

"We went to the park." Draco says.

"And had a picnic." Theo says.

"Wow, how exciting. Did you eat all the strawberries I left?" I ask

"Yes, both the boys ate way too many strawberries." Remus says.

"Boys why don't you head up and play in your playroom." I send the boys to the second story of our house.

Our house is a modest two-story house. It is a plain red brick house. It has a basement that I turned into a film room for the boys and me. I have a painting of my brothers and I standing guard over my wizarding world room. I have my magical library, potions laboratory and so on so forth hidden in there.

"I imagine you want to hear about my trip to see Sirius." I tell him.

"Yeah, how is he? How did he look?" He asks

I sit down on the couch in the living room. "Sit down Remus." I tell him. "He didn't look well. He seemed clear minded though."

"Are you sure?"

"I am very sure." I tell him. "I told him I would take a look to find Harry and let him know how he is doing."

"Really? Do you know where Harry is?"

"No, I have no idea where he is." I tell him. "I will start my search tomorrow. I will head to the local M.A.C.U.S.A, tomorrow."

"Alright. I will watch the boys."

"Thank you, Remus. I have no idea how I would be able to raise the boys without you." I tell him.

"You gave me a job. You don't care that I am a werewolf. You give me the day near the full moon off and provide me with wolfsbane. I owe you everything."

"I provide you with what any good employer should." I tell him.

"No, you go above and beyond an employer. You gave me a family back." He says starting to tear up. I hug him.

We hear a knock on the door suddenly.
