"What?" Petunia and Sirius yelled.
"We need to talk, Moony." Sirius said and strode over to Remus and grabbed his arm and pulled him into the kitchen. "What are you on?"
"Nothing I thought it would be a good idea." Remus answered.
"You're supposed to be the smart one! Why the hell would that be a good idea to you?" Sirius said quietly then sat down in a chair and motioned with his hand to continue talking.
"I'm not going to say it twice. I'm going to talk to her too." Remus said and walked back to the sitting room and bent down on his knee to look at Harry. "Are you hungry, Harry?"
Harry's eyes widened. 'Is he offering me food?' He asked himself. Instead of answering Harry just nodded his head.
"I'll make you a sandwich." Remus said and walked back into the kitchen. "Harry can you play with Dudley? Stay down here though. Petunia and Sirius please come with me."
Remus sat down at the table and used 'accio' to get the ingredients for the sandwich.
"We were supposed to take him to Dumbledore as soon as we got him." Sirius said.
"I know but he needs to eat something first. I'm not letting him starve any longer." Remus said. "Petunia, if you go back to that house, do you think you will alright? With the constant reminder of Harry's abuse? Your sister's son?"
"I don't know." Petunia said. "I can't just up and leave though, can I? Why would you offer for me and Dudley to stay here after what we've done?"
"Some people deserve second chances." Remus replied. "Do you want Dudley to grow up and be a bully like Vernon is? We could help you with a place to live and with Dudley. You could help us with Harry."
"I don't want him to be like Vernon at all." Petunia said.
"You can stay here permanently or temporarily. Harry will be going to a new school and Dudley could go with him until Harry goes to Hogwarts. It would honestly help us a lot. We know nothing about kids." Remus finished the sandwich and handed it to Sirius. "Could you bring this to Harry, Sirius?"
Sirius sighed. "Starry?"
A house elf popped out of thin air and stood next to Sirius. Petunia screamed at the little elf but the elf ignored her.
"Yes master, Sirius." Starry answered.
"Could you bring this to Harry? He's the boy with the black hair." Sirius said.
"Yes, Master!" The elf said enthusiastically. She took the plate and walked away.
"Oh and no more master!" Sirius yelled out and laughed. Sirius turned back to Remus who was now scolding him.
"What?" Sirius asked.
"You couldn't do it yourself?" Remus asked incredulously.
"Nope." Sirius said.
"Whatever." Remus said. "So will you stay, Petunia?"
"Well-" Petunia sighed. "Yes we'll stay. Thank you."
"Thank you." Remus smiled. "Let's go back to the boys." They walked back into the room just as Harry finished eating.
"All done Harry?" Sirius asked.
"Yes sir." Harry said with a nod. "Where is the kitchen?"
"We'll show you. We wanted to talk to you anyways." Remus said. The three walked to the kitchen and Sirius and Remus sat down at the small table. They offered Harry the seat but Harry just stared at them.
"M-may I go wash my plate?" Harry asked.
"You can put it in the sink. You don't need to wash it." Sirius said.
'What strange people.' Harry thought to himself. He walked to the sink and placed his plate in the sink. He furrowed his eyebrows as he walked back to the table and sat down in the chair.
"Do you like it here?" Remus asked.
"Yes I do. It's a beautiful place." Harry answered.
"Do you have any questions for us?" Remus asked.
"Umm." Harry said and bowed his head.
"Ask whatever you like Harry." Sirius asked and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"What happened to my Mum and my Dad?" Harry asked.
"Well-." Sirius rubbed his neck. "A bad-"
"That story is for when you're older, Harry." Remus cut him off. "Just know that they loved you very much. You meant the world to them. They died saving you."
Harry took a moment to take in the new information about his parents. Harry sniffed and tried to keep the tears away. "So it's my fault that they died? I-I killed them?"
"No! It was not your fault. It was someone else's fault. A very bad man, Harry." Remus answered.
Harry sniffed and Sirius rubbed his back. "He's right, pup. You did absolutely nothing wrong. Your parents loved you. We saw it in their faces every single day."
Harry nodded and wiped the tears away with the back of his hand. "How long will I be staying here?"
"This is your home, Harry." Remus said. "You can stay here for the rest of your life if you want."
"Where do I sleep?" Harry asked.
"You have your own room upstairs." Sirius said. "You're gonna love it!
"My own room? For just me?" Harry asked with excited eyes. "Can I see it?"
"Not yet Harry. We need to go somewhere." Remus said and smiled at him. Harry smiled back and nodded.
"Aww. I want him to see it now." Sirius said.
"Grow up Padfoot." Remus said and laughed. "Harry, would it be alright if your Aunt Petunia and Dudley lived here?"
Harry didn't say anything he just stared at Remus with wide eyes. Remus gave him a couple minutes before speaking again.
"What's wrong, Harry?" Remus asked.
"Well, why are you asking me? The opinion of freaks don't matter." Harry said innocently.
"Your opinion most certainly matters, Harry!" Sirius yelled. "You are not a freak and you never will be."
Harry flinched away from Sirius. He was afraid that he would get hit. It took him a short while for him to realize that Sirius wasn't mad at him.
"Why did you flinch?" Sirius asked.
"I thought you were mad at me." Harry said, sadly. "I thought you would hit me very hard."
Sirius picked up the small boy and hugged him gently. "I swear on my life and on Remus' life that I will never hit you."
Harry relaxed into the hug and into the softness in his Godfather's voice. "Thank you." Harry said.
"There is no reason to thank you. Only very bad people hit kids. What your uncle did to you is not acceptable. Remus and I are good people, Harry. We love you with all our hearts." Sirius said and sat down with Harry on his lap.
"So can you tell me what you think of them staying here?" Remus asked.
"Will Dudley hurt me?" Harry asked. "Will Aunt Petunia be mean to me?"
"Dudley will never hurt you again. He will be having rules. Petunia won't be mean. She is very sad for being mean to you." Remus said.
"W-will Uncle Vernon live here too?" Harry asked on the verge of new tears.
"Never." Sirius answered. "You won't ever have to see him again."
Harry smiled and nodded.
"Do you don't mind if they stay?" Remus asked.
"I don't mind." Harry answered.
Remus smiled and clapped his hands together. "Great! Now we need to take you to see a healer. You'll also be meeting someone."
"Will you stay with me?" Harry asked timidly.
"Yes." Sirius answered. "Let's go!"
"I'm going to invite Petunia and Dudley to come." Remus said.
"They can't use the floo! They have no magic." Sirius said and then smirked. "You lost your wits while I was away."
"Actually muggles can use the floo as long as they have access to floo powder and a magically fireplace that is connected." Remus smirked back. "Looks like you haven't gained any wits."
Sirius stuck his tongue out at Remus and the gesture made Harry laugh. A sound that Harry wasn't used to coming out of him. He liked the feeling of laughing and kept laughing.
The two men watched Harry laugh and their hearts fluttered. They kept laughing all the way from the kitchen to the sitting room (which was quite a long time).
Once they got to the sitting room they found Petunia walking around and looking at the pictures. They were just put there the previous night.
"When was this taken?" Petunia asked. She pointed to a picture of Lily sitting on the floor in the commons room. She had glitter all over herself and she was glaring at James.
Sirius laughed uncontrollably at the memory. "In fourth year."
"Why does she have glitter all over herself?" Petunia asked and looked back at the picture.
"Lily and I were making Valentine's Day cards for our families while James, Sirius and Peter were at detention. Everything was going perfectly well until Slughorn let them leave early." Remus sighed.
"We promised him no more pranks for a week. He believed us." Sirius laughed. "I guess we know why he's not in Ravenclaw."
"Well Peter came in first and told us that he was let out early. James and Sirius was under the cloak of invisibility and came in right after Peter." Remus paused. "Lily started to feel weird but she ended up shrugging it off. Then the bottle of glitter floated in the air and we were both too frozen in shock to stop it. Then it tipped and all of the contents fell on Lily. Well it turns out that James did a sticking charm on Lily. Lily was furious."
"It was brilliant! Then I went out from under the cloak and snapped a picture. She tried for days to get it out of her hair. She got a lot out but it was still noticeable." Sirius paused and laughed loudly. "When people started asking her about the glitter she couldn't take it any longer and finally went to Madam Pomfrey."
Petunia was quietly laughing when Sirius finished the story. "Did the teacher ever find out about the prank?"
"He noticed the glitter but never figured out who did it." Remus said and smiled. "It was pretty funny. I never told Lily that though."
The three didn't notice Harry listening in until Harry started laughing. "That was funny. Did my Mum ever forgive you and my Dad?"
Remus started laughing. "She forgave them when she got payback. They ended up with so much glitter in their hair that it took Pomfrey a month to get it all out. Lily was brilliant, she used a better sticking charm then they did."
Sirius sat down and grumbled something under his breath. "She was pretty smart."
"Yes she was probably smarter than me." Remus asked. "Actually I think I see glitter in your hair now." Remus scooted over to investigate Sirius's hair. "Nope. Just a grey hair."
"WHAT?" Sirius yelled and ran to the mirror against the wall. "I do not have grey hair!"
Everybody started laughing uncontrollably, even the two kids. Once everyone settled down Remus stood up.
"Well we need to get going to Hogwarts. Come along, Harry." Remus said. Harry stood up and walked up to him. "Sirius stop staring at yourself and let's go!"
Sirius sighed and walked to the fireplace and waited.
"Aren't you coming?" Remus asked Petunia. Petunia's eyes widened as she stared at Remus.
"Where?" She asked.
"Hogwarts of course! I thought it'd be nice for you to finally see where your sister went to school." Remus beamed at her. "You'll finally be able to go to Hogwarts!"
