Hours later, they had everything set up. Harry's new room looked marvelous and Remus's things were all in his new room. They even went grocery shopping. Albus was the secret-keeper and he also has put the Fidelius Charm on the house.
"Thank you Albus." Remus said.
"You are most welcome. You will be getting Harry tomorrow?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes! As soon as we wake up." Sirius answered.
Dumbledore chuckled at the excitement in his voice. "Listen Sirius, when you see Harry I'm not sure what you're going to find. It could be quite bad and you will need to keep your temper down. Do not touch the muggles unless you wish to go back to Azkaban."
Sirius took a deep breath. "They deserve to be dead or at least in jail."
"Yes I understand. Maybe down the road they will end up in prison but for now leave it be. They have a son. He could end up in an orphanage." Dumbledore said.
"We can take the boy too." Sirius said, earning a surprising glare from Remus.
"We can't just take the boy too." Remus said.
"The boy has an aunt that would most likely care for him if the Dursley's were unable to." Dumbledore said. "Well I'll be off. Remember what I said Sirius."
Sirius stayed silent and just nodded. He couldn't promise anything but he would try. Dumbledore left and the two men walked into their new home.
"I think you should leave your wand home tomorrow, Padfoot." Remus said.
"Yeah, right." Sirius chuckled. "My wand stays with me at all times."
"I'm not kidding, Sirius. I know you're going to do something stupid tomorrow."
Sirius's jaw dropped open. "You can't be serious! I'm not leaving it home. You leave yours home." Sirius answered.
"I'm not Sirius, you are." Remus chuckled. "Listen, I can't take care of him by myself. No matter how much I want to I just can't. If you do anything to harm them you could end up back in Azkaban and Harry will stay right where he is. They could end up killing him, Padfoot." Remus sighed. "Just let me hold your wand tomorrow. I'll have it in my robes in case you need it. Alright?"
"Yes." Sirius answered quietly.
"I'll go make us some dinner. Fish and chips sound good?" Remus asked.
"Yeah. Thanks Moony." Sirius said. He sprawled on the couch and just stared into space as he thought about tomorrow.
A few minutes later, Remus brought the food to the dining areas and tried calling for Sirius to join but he wasn't listening.
"Sirius!" Remus yelled and threw a pillow at him. "Food!"
"Oi! Did you really need to throw something at me?" Sirius asked. "You could have just told me that dinner was ready."
Remus rolled his eyes and sat down at the table. "Sit. Eat. Enjoy."
"Hmm thats pretty catchy. We should write it on the wall in here." Sirius said as he looked around for a place. Remus didn't answer and just shook his head and began eating.
"This is good Moony." Sirius said. "Thank Godric you're here to feed me."
"Don't get used to it. You'll be doing some cooking too." Sirius said.
"I wonder if there's any house elves here. There used to be a dozen." Sirius asked and soon a small house elf popped right beside Sirius and smiled.
"Master Sirius! Starry knew you would return! Starry told everyone else not to leave but they did not listen to Starry. Do you need anything Master Sirius?" The little asked asked in a squeaky voice.
"Starry! I remember you! And yes please do not call me Master." Sirius answered the elf.
"Yes Master Sirius!" She said then opened her eyes in surprise. "Bad Starry, Bad." She said over and over again as she hit herself on the head with her small fist.
"It was a mistake, Starry. Another thing, I am making it a rule to not punish yourself when you make a mistake." Sirius said.
"Sirius is too kind to Starry. Sirius was always much nicer to Starry than any other Black family member." Starry looked on the verge of tears. "Starry should not have said that. Starry is a bad elf. Starry does not say anything against her masters."
"Don't worry about it Starry, I do it all the time. If you have anything bad to say about me or Remus-" he brushed his hand towards him. "then go ahead and say it. And by all means you can say whatever you like about about the Black family."
"Yes, Sir." Starry said with wide eyes.
"No sirs either. This is Remus Lupin. He will be living here along with our Godson, Harry Potter. If you could please serve them along with me." Sirius said.
"Of course Starry will. Harry Potter? Coming to live here?" Starry asked.
"Yes. How do you know about Harry?" Sirius asked.
"All the house elves know Harry. Starry's friend, Dobby, doesn't stop talking about him. Harry Potter helped so many house elves get treated better when The Dark Lord was defeated. I need to tell Dobby. May I tell Dobby about Harry Potter?" Starry asked.
"Who is Dobby's master?" Sirius asked.
"The Malfoy Family." Starry answered.
Sirius looked at Remus and he nodded. "Yes you may. You can also let Lucius Malfoy know that Harry will be coming here tomorrow."
"Thank you Sirius and Remus Lupin!" Starry said, excitedly.
"You can call me Remus." He chuckled. "There is more food if you wish to eat any. You could bring some for your friend Dobby as well."
Starry's eyes widen. "Thank you Remus. You are too kind to Starry."
"You're welcome Starry. I'll put it on a plate for you." Remus said and stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Sirius got up and followed him into the kitchen. "Thanks for dinner, Moony."
"No problem. I didn't think you were so nice to house elves. You talked foul about Kreacher." Remus said.
"That's because he was foul. He had the same beliefs as my mother had. He was and probably still is horrible." Sirius said.
Remus nodded and headed back to give Starry the plate of food. Sirius put his plate in the sink and went to sit on the couch.
"Are you nervous about tomorrow?" Sirius asked.
"Yes. Very. Are you?" Remus answered as he sat in the seat next to the couch.
"Yes. What if he doesn't like us?" Sirius asked.
"I'm sure he will love us. He did when he was a baby." Remus answered.
"It's different. He was a baby, that was 5 years ago." Sirius sighed.
"Blimey. It's almost midnight. I'm going to bed. Night Padfoot." Remus yawned and got up and went to the stairs.
"Me too. Night Moony." Sirius yawned. He followed Remus up the stairs and then went a separate way to his own room.
He laid down on the bed and tried to fall asleep. Every time he closed his eyes he would snap them back open. He couldn't stop thinking about tomorrow.
He groaned and got up from the bed and decided to take a walk throughout the mansion. He didn't go far until he stopped. Right next to his room was the room his Godson would be living in.
He opened the door and smiled. It was a kids dream room. He had a big bed with red and gold sheets. On top of the bed were four stuffed animals. A stag, a doe, a dog and a wolf. Next to bed there was a nightstand on each side. On the night stands there was a photo frame with moving pictures of James, Lily and Harry.
Above the bed on the ceiling was a painting of a snitch. The walls were covered in pictures of James and Lily and posters of The Gryffindor lion. There were also a few posters of various Quidditch teams. In the corner of the room was a very big chest with various muggle and magical toys.
Against the wall there are two big wardrobes. Inside them were hundreds of clothes that were shrunk to fit inside. All Harry had to do was get out what he wanted and it would appear the right size.
Against another wall was a big desk for his homework. Sirius told Remus he wouldn't need it for another 5 years but Remus said that he will be going to a muggle school.
Sirius laid down on the bed and took the stag and the doe and he hugged them tightly. He turned and faced one of the pictures. In the picture, Harry was laughing as both of his parents were laughing along and holding him. The love was evident on each of their faces as the nuzzled up with the small boy.
"I don't know what I'm doing guys. You guys should be raising him not me." Sirius whispered to the pictures. "I don't deserve to even know Harry. It's my fault you're gone. It's my fault that Harry had to endure those abusing pigs."
Sirius started silently crying as he laid there still hugging the stag and the doe. Sirius stayed crying for a long time until finally, he cried himself to sleep.
He had horrific nightmares of seeing James and Lily dead on the floor. Then another of a young James with green eyes on the floor all bruised and cut up. It took Sirius a while before realizing that it was actually Harry.
His last wasn't a nightmare but a dream. He dreamt of Lily and James hugging a six year old Harry. On the right of James stood Sirius and on the left of Lily stood Remus. It was how it was supposed to be. No Voldemort, no bruises or cuts and smiling facing.
His dream was interrupted by a hand on his shoulder trying to shake him awake.
"Come on Padfoot. Time to get our Godson." Remus said for what seemed like the 5th time before Sirius showed signs of waking up.
"What?" Sirius said groggily.
"Harry." Remus answered.
That one word is all it took for him to get up and get ready.
