October 31st, 1986

Harry's woke up suddenly from the sound of crying down the hallway. He was completely excited about the day ahead of him. The last few months have been the best months of his life and he was hoping to go out for Halloween and get some free treats.

He got up and slipped on his slippers and wandered into the hallway to find out who was crying. He thought it would be Remus because he has been crying a lot lately. He was surprised to follow the sound to Sirius's bedroom.

Harry knocked on the door and walked in. Sirius quickly wiped his face and gave Harry a fake smile.

"Morning Pup. Happy Halloween!" Sirius said with a strained voice.

"Good morning Uncle Padfoot. Why are you crying?" Harry asked and walked over to sit on the bed next to Sirius.

"It's just a sad day, that's all." Sirius answered.

"Why is it a sad day?" Harry asked him.

"Moony and I will talk about it to you later. Right now it's time for some breakfast." Sirius said and walked with Harry out of the room. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Candy!" Harry exclaimed.

"Candy for breakfast?" Sirius asked and put his hand on his chin.

"No." Remus said from the kitchen.

Remus set down the muggle newspaper onto the table and looked up to see Harry and Sirius walk through the doorway. Harry ran up to Remus and gave him a hug and sat at the table next to him.

"Uncle Moony have you been crying too?" Harry asked.

"A little bit." Remus answered and wiped his face.

"Why?" Harry asked.

"We'll talk about it later. Now why do you want candy for breakfast." Remus asked.

"Cause it's Halloween." Harry said. "Where is Aunt Petunia and Dudley?

"They went to visit Dudley's Aunt. How about pancakes?" Sirius asked.

"Okay." Harry said and puffed his lip out. "But can we go trick of treating after breakfast? Please?"

"Not until after dinner." Remus said and conjured up some pancakes in front of Harry, Sirius and himself.

"Eat up Harry. We're taking a trip today." Sirius said.

"Where to?" Harry asked and took a bite.

"Godric's Hollow." Sirius answered.

Remus dropped his fork and looked up. "He's not ready for that."

"He's not going inside but he needs to know what happened." Sirius said.

"Fine. We can go after lunch. Let's go to the store and get a costume for Harry after breakfast though." Remus said.

The family finished their pancakes and went back to their rooms to get ready. Harry came out of his room wearing jeans and a shirt. The shirt was plain to muggles but to any witch or wizard it said Gryffindor on the back with a moving lion in front.

They went in the car and drove to a muggle halloween store. Sirius and Remus were worried that the costumes and props in the store would scare Harry but they were wrong.

Harry loved seeing all the monsters and he wasn't scared at all. This made Sirius positive that Harry would end up being in Gryffindor. Harry ended up getting a baby deer costume. It was from a movie called Bambi.

Sirius told Harry that he was going as a dog but he didn't need a costume. Remus didn't get a costume. He said he was too old but truthfully he didn't have enough money and he didn't want to spend any of Sirius's money.

They left the store after buying the costume and got ice cream in Diagon Ally before heading to Godric's Hollow.

They parked the car in an empty car park behind a church and slowly walked around telling Harry stories of his parents. They reached a cemetery and they stopped in front of two gravestones.

"Is that where my parents are buried?" Harry asked.

"Yes." Remus answered. "Harry will you excuse us for a minute please? Why don't you sit in front of the graves and talk to your parents."

"Will they talk back?" Harry asked.

"No but they can listen to what you're saying." Remus answered. "We'll be right over here."

Remus and Sirius walked a few feet away from Harry so he wouldn't hear them.

"I don't think it's a good idea to tell Harry that they died on this day. It will ruin his day." Remus whispered.

"He has to find out eventually Moony." Sirius whispered back.

"Can't we wait a year? It's his first Halloween with us." Remus said. "Please Sirius."

"Yeah. I think you're right. We can just tell him were visiting his parents." Sirius said. They turned around to see Harry talking with Cornelius Fudge and they rushed over.

"Hello Minister, what are you doing here?." Remus asked.

"Hello. Every year on Halloween I come here to visit the grave and visit the house. To give my condolences to the Potters." The minister said.

"Why do you come on Halloween?" Harry asked.

"We must be going now, Harry." Sirius said and grabbed his hand.

"Wait a moment, Sirius." Cornelius said.

"No we need to go home. Harry is going trick or treating." Remus said.

"You're going trick or treating on the anniversary of their deaths?" Cornelius asked.

"Whose deaths?" Harry asked.

"Your parents. Harry, your Mum and Dad died 5 years ago today in this town." Cornelius said to Harry.

"What?" Harry said and looked up at Sirius.

"That was not your right to tell him that!" Sirius yelled.

"The boy must know sometime. You shouldn't have him out trick or treating on this day." The minister paused. "It's almost as if you're celebrating their deaths."

Remus noticed Sirius's handle close into a fist. And pulled him away. He grabbed on to Harry's other hand and started walking away.

Harry slipped his hands away and started running away from the cemetery down a street. Remus and Sirius yelled for him to stop and ran after him.

Harry ran for a few minutes before getting tired and walking. He ended up in front of a broken down house. He was feeling something strange inside him. He knew that this was his parents house. He reached a hand out to touch the broken gate but was stopped by someone picking him up.

"Harry!" Remus yelled. "You don't run away from us! That's very dangerous for you to be out here alone." Remus said.

Harry was in Sirius's arks before Remus even got to him. Sirius didn't say anything, he just held his godson close. He felt the same pain that Harry felt.

Harry was crying uncontrollably on Sirius's shoulder and Sirius was also crying along with Remus.

"Are you okay, Harry?" Remus asked.

"I want to go in the house." Harry said through sobs.

"Not today, Harry." Remus said and wiped his tears and faked a smile. "Besides we need to go home. It's almost time to go trick or treating."

"I don't care! I hate Halloween! I'm never going to go trick or treating!" Harry yelled.

The adults didn't say anything as they walked back to the car with Harry taking turns in both of their arms.

On the ride home Harry fell asleep in the backseat laying on Sirius. When they got back to the house Remus carried Harry to his room and laid him down on his bed and kissed him.

"Some Halloween this turned out to be." Remus said.

Sirius nodded and kissed Harry's forehead. "Good night Remus."

Remus patted Sirius's back and walked to his room.

Sirius walked the other way and started decorating for Halloween. Harry's Halloween will now be on November 1st.

The next day Harry had a blast. He agreed that he liked the new Halloween better.
