"Mum!" Draco yelled in shock.
"Draco! Listen-" Narcissa started before Draco ran off back towards Harry's room.
Draco ran to Harry and grabbed his hand and pulled him in the room and shut it with Sirius standing there.
"Come on boys." Sirius said to the door. "You can at least let me in."
"Can I trust you?" Draco yelled back.
"Obviously." Sirius said back.
Draco opened the door and pulled Sirius inside quickly.
"What's going on now?" Sirius asked. Draco ignored his question and started pushing the furniture back in front of the door.
"Do the charm that makes it so no one can hear us." Draco demanded.
"Oh um-" Sirius said and rubbed his neck.
"It's called Silencio." Draco said and rolled his eyes.
"Oh yeah." Sirius said and did the charm.
"What's going on, Draco?" Harry asked.
"Remus and my Mum were kissing." Draco said.
"WHAT?" Sirius yelled.
Draco and Harry looked at Sirius with surprised looks.
'He's supposed to be the adult, why is he yelling?' Draco thought to himself.
"Are you jealous, Padfoot?" Harry asked.
A couple months back, there was a new girl in their class and she seemed to like Draco. Draco started trying to impress her and Harry got mad that his attention was towards the girl, instead of him. Remus and Sirius told Harry that it was called 'jealousy'.
"Uh, no-" Sirius said as his cheeks grew red. "I'm just angry that he didn't tell me that him and Narcissa had a thing."
"You're mad?" Draco yelled. "She's my Mum!"
"Of course, Draco. I understand that you're hurt, but hiding in here won't help." Sirius patted his shoulder.
"You said I could trust you." Draco said.
"You can!" Sirius exclaimed. "I'm not going to throw you out there and force you to talk with her."
"Thank you but I think I should go out there." Draco said with a nervous look at the door.
"Well, what do you want to say to her?" Sirius asked. "Practice on us and you won't be nervous."
"Yeah! Pretend that I'm your Mum!" Harry laughed. "Padfoot, make me look like Aunt Cissy!"
Sirius laughed along with Harry.
"I'm angry because she didn't tell me and she was hiding it. I'm also angry because she wants us to move out." Draco said.
"You're not mad that they were kissing?" Sirius asked.
"No." Draco said slowly. "I like Remus."
"What about Uncle Lucius?" Harry asked.
"I miss him but he's not here anymore. Remus is." Draco said.
Draco moved the stuff away from the door and opened it to find his Mom sitting against the wall crying.
"Where's Remus?" Draco asked quietly. He knew that Remus and Harry were listening behind the door.
"Draco!" Narcissa said loudly and looked up in shock. "I'm so sorry!"
"Why didn't you tell me?" Draco asked and sat down next to his Mum against the wall.
"There wasn't anything to tell. I started to like him and felt bad so I decided it was time to move. That was our first, and last, kiss." Narcissa explained.
"Why last?" Draco asked as he played with his hands.
"I would never do anything that would hurt you. It's only been two years since your father passed away." She said quietly as a tear rolled down her face.
"But I like Remus. I don't mind if you kiss him again." Draco smiled at his Mum.
"Really?" Narcissa asked.
"Yes, but do we have to move? This is my home now and I don't want to go away and be lonely. Harry is my best friend. Please let me stay here." Draco pleaded.
"We can stay." Narcissa said.
"Yay!" Came a yell from the room. Harry yelled and opened the door to hug Draco. "We won!"
Draco smiled and hugged Harry back. Then he turned to his Mum and gave her the biggest hug. "Thanks, Mum."
"Can Harry and I go to the Weasley's?" Draco asked.
"Yes, but ask Sirius if Harry can go." Narcissa answered.
The boys ran off to find Sirius downstairs while Narcissa went to knock on Remus's door.
"Come in." He answered back.
She opened the door and walked in to see Remus sitting in a chair, reading a book.
"Hello." She said.
Remus put the book down in surprise and looked at Narcissa.
"I thought you and Draco would have left by now." Remus said quietly. "How is he?"
"He's fine. I'm sorry for pushing you into the wall." Narcissa said.
"It's fine." Remus gave a weak smile. "I'm sorry for the kiss. I don't know what came over me. I could blame it on the beast within. Whatever it was, it won't happen again. I hope we'll remain friends."
"No." Narcissa said.
"No?" Remus said, surprised and stood up. "I guess I understand.
Before Remus could finish his sentence, Narcissa walked over to him and kissed him gently on the lips.
Remus kissed her back but immediately felt bad about Draco and stopped the kiss.
"No!" Remus said sternly. "What about Draco?"
"He told me that he didn't mind if we were together." Narcissa explained.
"Really?" Remus asked.
"Yes. He said he likes you." Narcissa answered.
"Well where is he?" Remus asked with excitement. "I want to talk to him."
"Him and Harry went to the Weasley's." She answered.
"Well, I'll be back!" Remus said and kissed Narcissa's cheek.
He walked out of the room and went down the stairs.
"I'll be back Paddy!" Remus said cheerfully to Sirius.
"Ugh, you know I hate it when you call me that!" Sirius said back.
"I know!" Remus yelled and went to the fireplace.
A few minutes later, he was in the Weasley's house.
"Remus! Hello dear. We weren't expecting you. Are you hungry?" Molly asked.
"No thank you, Molly. I'm here to see Draco." He said.
"He's upstairs with Harry, Ron and Hermione. She just got here a little while ago." Molly said. "Go ahead."
Remus walked up the many stairs until he reached the room and knocked on the door. Ron let him in and he smiled at the kids.
"Hey kids. Draco, can I talk to you outside?" Remus asked.
Draco nodded. Him and Harry got up and walked to Remus.
"Sorry Harry, but I need to talk to him alone." Remus said.
Harry frowned and walked back to sit on the bed and watched as they left the room.
"Are you okay, Harry?" Ron asked.
"Sure. Looks like Draco has a new Dad." Harry said in a sarcastic tone and threw a fake wand at the floor.
"You should be Happy for him, Harry. It's not like Remus is going to replace Draco's Dad." Hermione said.
"Remus and Sirius are supposed to be raising me but they're not my Dads. I'll never have a Dad or a Mum. It's not fair. Draco has a Mum and had a Dad and now he'll have a step Dad." Harry stayed quiet for a few minutes. "Did you see how happy Remus was to see Draco?"
"Remus loves you too, Harry." Hermione said.
"I'm going home." Harry said harshly and ran downstairs to the fireplace.
Meanwhile, Remus and Draco were walking outside around the house.
"So, I talked to your Mum." Remus said.
"Well, did you guys kiss again?" Draco asked.
Remus's cheeks grew pink and he tried to avoid the question. "So! You really don't mind?"
"No. It's not like you're trying to replace my father." Draco said.
"Of course I'm not." Remus smiled.
"If you and my Mum ever got married, you'd be my Step Father." Draco thought out loud.
"We had our first kiss today, I think it's a bit too soon to talk about marriage." Remus laughed. "If we ever cross that road, mine and your relationship wouldn't have to change. We could still be friends like we are now. Just know that I love you like I love Harry."
"You can be my Step Dad." Draco said. "You love me the same as Harry but if you ever married my Mum, you'd be like my Dad. Dad's love their son more than they love their Godson."
"I love Harry as much as I'd love my own son. But he'll never be my son, I will never replace his Dad." Remus smiled at Draco. "It doesn't mean that I can't love him as much as I'd love a son. The same with you. Let's go back inside I need to talk to Harry."
They went back inside and went upstairs to the room to find no Harry.
"Where's Harry?" Remus asked the kids.
"He left." Ron said. "He wanted to go home."
"Why?" Draco asked. "He's never left without me before."
"I think he's jealous and angry about not having parents." Hermione said and got up off the floor.
"I better go home to talk to him." Remus said and headed downstairs.
"I have to go home now, too. I'm glad our fireplace was connected with yours and Harry's so I can visit. Bye guys." Hermione left the room.
"I'll stay a little longer." Draco said to Ron and Ginny.
Ginny smiled at Draco as he sat down with Ron to play chess.
Remus arrived back at home and went to Harry's room. He knocked on the door a few times and opened it to find that he wasn't in there.
He went back downstairs to see if he walked past Harry in the kitchen or sitting room and he wasn't there.
'Great! He ran away again.' He thought to himself.
He went upstairs to Sirius's room to tell him that Harry was missing.
"What are you talking about?" Sirius asked.
"Harry? Harry James Potter. He's 8 and about this high." He used his hand to measure how tall Harry was. "He has messy, jet black hair and a lightning bolt on his head."
"I know blood well who he is!" Sirius said. "He's not missing you git. He asked me if he could visit Severus and Dumbledore. I said yes since it's the Easter holidays and they're not particularly busy. He also wanted to see Fred and George."
"You let him go there alone?" Remus asked angrily. "Every time he goes to Hogwarts, he finds trouble."
"I took him there myself and delivered him to Albus." Sirius said and rolled his eyes. "Anything else you'd like to say to question my parenting skills?"
Remus sat down in the chair by Sirius's bed and put his head in his hands. "I'm sorry. It's been a weird day."
"Yeah mate. I could tell. Harry was fuming when he came home. Whatever happened, you should give him time to talk to someone besides us." Sirius patted his friend's shoulder. "He has a rough life."
"Yeah well it seems like we're doing an awful job with him." Remus said.
"We're?" Sirius joked with his friend.
"Sometimes, I wonder what good we did by saving him. Then I shudder to think if he would still be alive if Lucius never found him." Remus said. "We never properly thanked him. He brought us Harry and he helped clear your name. I really do miss him. Makes me feel awful about having feelings for his wife."
"Who did you like before the feelings for Cissy surfaced?" Sirius asked before opening a book to read.
Remus looked at Sirius with a look of longing and turned away before he could notice. "I've had a crush on the same person since we were in Hogwarts. The crush faded away a while after James and Lily died. Resurfaced a few years ago but I pushed it aside."
"Who?" Sirius asked and put the book down to look at his friend.
"You didn't know hi- uh her. You didn't know her." Remus answered.
"Whoever it was missed out on you, mate." Sirius smiled at him.
Remus smiled at Sirius and picked up a book.
"You can stay in here if you'd like until Harry comes back. Or you can go back and give Cissy some company in her room." Sirius said and winked at Remus.
"I'll stay in here." Remus said.
"Professor, I have a question." Harry asked Albus Dumbledore while sitting in the comfortable chair in his office.
"What is it, Harry?" The old man asked.
"Well, I was at the Weasley's house and got mad and left then I thought of something. I felt ridiculous for never asking this before. Is there a way to go back in time to bring my parents back?"
"Well-" Dumbledore started but was interrupted.
"Because Draco has a Mom and had a Dad and he's now going to have another Dad. Hermione has both parents and so does Ron. Soon, Padfoot will probably have a family and be someone's Dad. I'll get in the way of everyone's family."
"Harry, you are apart of their family too." Dumbledore replied.
"I know. I'm probably like the annoying nephew that they're forced to deal with. Like with the Dursley's. I want my own Mum and my own Dad. I don't like being without parents." Harry said and looked the other way to hide a tear.
"I'm afraid that there is no way to go back and save them. I'm sorry, Harry. But you're wrong about how they feel about you." Dumbledore said.
Harry rolled his eyes as he asked, "Can I see Severus?"
"Yes, I'm sure he could use the company." Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye. "Do you know where his office is?
"No sir. Besides, Padfoot doesn't trust me to be here without someone to watch me." Harry said as he rolled his eyes again.
Dumbledore walked Harry down to the dungeons to Snape's office and knocked on the door.
"Yes?" Snape answered.
"You have a visitor." Dumbledore answered.
Snape opened the door and looked to see Harry.
"Potter?" He said in a surprised tone.
"Hello, Severus." Harry said with a smile. "I was around so I decided to visit. Soon I'll be around every day and I can visit you every day if you'd like."
"That's not necessary but come in." Snape said.
"It's your responsibility to take him home, Severus. Apparently, Sirius doesn't trust him here without supervision." Dumbledore said and tried to do a successful eye roll and chuckled when he failed.
Snape nodded and closed the door.
"Is something wrong?" He asked Harry.
"I just wanted to talk." Harry said and sat down in Snape's chair.
Snape rolled his eyes and sat in a different seat.
"What about?" Snape asked.
"Well, I was wondering if there's a way to go back in time." Harry asked.
"Yes." Snape said and got up to go to his cabinet.
"There is?" Harry said in disbelief as a whole new set of anger poured through him towards Dumbledore.
"Yes. It's called a time turner." Snape got one out of the cabinet and showed it to Harry.
"Did anyone ever try to use it to bring back my parents?" Harry asked as he examined it.
"No, it can only go back a couple hours." Snape answered.
"What about the day that it happened? Someone could have used it to save them." Harry said angrily.
"I tried." Snape said quietly.
"What?" Harry said in shock. "Everyone told me that you hated my parents and that's why you don't like me."
"Harry I like you a lot more than I'd like to admit. I hated your Dad but it was mostly jealousy. I loved your Mum." Snape sighed.
"Wow." Harry said.
"I had just found out about their death when I went to the house and found them. It was before Hagrid took you and you were in the crib crying. I don't know why I didn't pick you up to make you stop crying. Looking back on it now, I realize how much of an arse I was. After holding onto your Mom and crying I left and went to get this." He held up the time turner. "I returned to a hill near your house and turned it back 4 times. I ended up turning it too far and spent most of the time crying until it was getting closer to Voldemort appearing. When it was only a half hour away, I was walking down the hill. I was going to knock on the door and warn them to leave. I was stopped when I was in the yard. Someone put a full body-bind curse on me. He also made it so no one could see me. I was left there and watched as Voldemort appeared in their yard. I heard James yell to Lily to take you to the nursery. They were both defenseless; not that it would have helped. I heard James yelling. Then it was quiet and I could hear bits of what Lily was whispering to you. Voldemort told Lily to step aside but she shielded you. I heard her screams and cried silently. I felt like dying because I couldn't help her. I heard his laughs change to yelling. Then I heard you crying. I was left there until the curse wore off."
"Who left you there?" Harry asked quietly with tears in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter." Snape said.
"If I ever find out who it was, I'll kill them." Harry said angrily.
"Don't worry about it Harry. I don't even know if the wizard that stopped me is still alive." Snape lied. "You know, I always thought you'd be in Gryffindor like your parents. But, it seems like you have the same Slytherin qualities that I have."
"I wouldn't mind being like you, Severus." Harry smiled. "Ron told me that only the bad wizards and witches end up in Slytherin and everyone in that house is evil."
"Mr. Weasley is incorrect. First off, there was a Gryffindor who was friends with your father, Remus and Sirius that ended up bad." Snape said.
"Peter Pettigrew." Harry said.
"Yes." Snape said. "Secondly, do you think I am evil?"
"No." Harry answered.
"I'm not the only good Slytherin." Snape patted Harry's shoulder. "Did you want to talk about anything else?"
"You loved my Mom in the way that parents love each other? You wanted to kiss her?" Harry asked.
"Uh, yes." Snape said nervously. He thought his conversation was going good but he wasn't ready to gave Harry 'The Talk'.
"Do you feel that way about anyone else?" Harry asked.
"No." Snape replied. "I have only had feelings for your mother and I will never feel that way towards anyone else."
"Can I live with you?" Harry asked.
"What?" Snape almost choked.
"I want a Dad." Harry said. "You were almost my Dad."
"Tell me, Harry. How did I almost become your Dad?" Snape asked with humor in his voice.
"You loved my mom." Harry said innocently.
"Yes, but she did not love me." Snape said.
"So?"
"You can't force love on someone, Harry."
"Ron has a mother and a father. Hermione has a mother and a father, too. Draco has a Mum and had a Dad. And now, Moony loves Draco's Mum so he will have another Dad. Padfoot seems to love a lot of girls so he will have a family and be someone's Dad. I'll be the kid that isn't their own that they are forced to take care of. Moony will love Draco more than he loves me." Harry explained.
"Harry, Remus and Sirius love you very much. A lot of people do. A lot of people also love Draco. He's my Godson, you know." Severus said.
"Of course he is." Harry said sarcastically which made Snape laugh.
"When you went missing along with the other kids, Sirius and Remus freaked out. They were so scared that something had happened to you. Do you know why Remus couldn't take care of you after your parents died?" Snape asked.
"Because he's a werewolf." Harry answered.
"Yes, he couldn't care for you alone. I saw him multiple times after and he was very sad looking. He was never happy. I've heard him ask Albus about you. Remus begged him to let him see you but it didn't do any good. He loves you more than you'll any know. Sirius spent years in Azkaban in pain because of you and your parents. He felt horrible for not being there for you." Severus said.
"Why didn't you take me?" Harry asked.
"I already told you. I was an arse." Snape answered.
"Oh." Harry said with a laugh. "Now I feel like an arse for thinking that they didn't love me."
"Watch your language." Snape said.
"Sorry, sir." Harry said sheepishly. "I'm ready to go home."
"Okay, let's go." Snape said and stood up off of the uncomfortable chair.
Snape and Harry went in the floo and appeared back at the Black mansion.
Remus was in the kitchen with Sirius when he heard them and ran to the sitting room. He saw them hug and he felt a pang of jealousy in his chest.
"Bye Severus. Can I visit you again?" Harry asked.
"Yes, just give me a heads up next time to make sure I'm not busy." Snape answered.
"Yes, sir." Harry said.
Snape left through the floo and Harry turned to find Remus standing a few feet away. Harry ran to him and started crying into his sleeve. Remus started crying too.
"Harry." Remus said and stepped back. "What's going on?"
"I want my Mum and Dad. You have your own family now and soon Padfoot will too. Draco will be your son and it's not fair because I want to be your son." Harry said and cried harder. "I'm sorry for being jealous, I know you love me but it's not fair."
"I know it's not fair, Harry. If your Dad was still alive, he would be the best father you could wish for. Far better than I would ever be. I would never try to replace him. I love you as if you're my son but you're not my son." Remus took a break. "You're also my family and that will never change. Narcissa and me have had one kiss. No on has said anything about marriage or about me being Draco's Step Dad. If that ever happened, I would love you no less than I do now. If Sirius ever finds someone, he will always love you as much as he does now. I wish I could have saved your Mum and Dad. I would have gladly died to spare their lives but that's not how it turned out. When something is bothering you, it's okay to talk to someone about it but I wish you would talk to me too."
"I'm sorry, Moony." Harry said. "I love you."
"I love you too, Harry." Remus sighed. "Did you have fun at Hogwarts?"
"I had fun with Severus but not Dumbledore. I asked Severus if I could live with him." Harry said sheepishly.
"You did?" Remus asked and felt that pang of jealousy grow.
"Yes. He doesn't have a family and the only girl he ever loved was my Mum." Harry said. "But I want to stay here. If that's okay."
"Of course it is." Remus said. "Let's go find Sirius and go out for ice cream."
"Good idea." Harry said.
