You guys are amazing! You really are, thank you all so much for all of the reviews! I'm going to spoil you guys yet again and make this the longest chapter yet. And don't worry, the plot will pick up soon. I have lots of surprises up my sleeves for your guys. Now, on with the story!

The two men walked into the den where Sirius was with Harry, except now Sirius was in the decent size kitchen making three cups of tea.

"Hello Sirius." Albus spoke as he sat down in one of the worn out over stuffed arm chairs, "Where is Harry at?"

With a flick of his wand Sirius levitated the three cups and headed over to Albus and Remus, "He fell asleep, I put him up in the extra bedroom and gave him a dreamless sleep potion."

They all grabbed their cups out of the air and sat quiet for a few moments sipping on their tea, it was Albus who broke the silence,

"Have you been using much magic on him?"

Remus shook his head, "No. His body is too weak for too much magic. When he got first here we used a few spells to get the wounds and bruises to start healing. But we did not heal them all the way. And I'm not too comfortable giving him too many potions, we don't know how much his body can handle after what he has been through."

"We think the best way for him to heal is the muggle way. If things get worse or too bad than yes we will step in and use magic. But like Remus said, we don't know how much his body can take." Sirius looked from Remus to Albus who nodded.

"Very smart on your decisions. I personally was going to suggest that." Albus said with a twinkling eye, "Has he been sleeping since he got here?"

Sirius shook his head, "No, he had a nightmare right before you came. That's why I gave him a small dose of dreamless sleep potion. I really want to try to avoid giving him potions because like Remus said we don't know how his body will react to them after what he has been through. But I figured he needed a good nights rest." He shrugged.

Albus nodded at Sirius than turned to face Remus, "You took some pictures when you first got him correct?"

"Yes, Professor. I had an old muggle camera that I took them on."

"Good, before I leave today I will be needing those. I will act as the boy's grandfather and contact the muggle police. With the evidence we have there should be no need for Harry have to testify. And as for you Sirius," he reached into his green robes and pulled out some folded up parchment, "these are the papers that will grant you custody of the boy. No need to get the muggles involved in this bit. I will simply inform the police that you have been granted custody of the boy."

"Don't we need their signatures?" inquired Sirius who clenched and unclenched his fist.

"I'll go have them sign it." snarled Lupin.

Albus held up a hand, "I will go and have them sign it. We can't have the two of you doing something rash to them now can we?"

"Oh no, it won't be rash Professor. Believe me, I have thought out what I would like to do to those no good, low life, scum, bast-"

Albus held up a hand yet again but this time he had that twinkle back in his eyes, "That's enough Sirius. As much as you want to rip Vernon limb from limb it will not do Harry any good. Especially if you were to get caught and end up back in Azkaban."

Sirius crosses his arms over his chest and leaned back against the couch, Remus couldn't help but smile at his friend. They sat in silence once more, Sirius brooding over the fact that he could not tear Dursley from limb to limb and the other two men sat in thought.

"Do you need to see him Professor?" Remus asked this time to break the silence.

"Not today. He has been through enough. Let him rest. I will stop by in a few days to see him. Now if you can sign these papers Sirius for custody of Harry and if you can go grab that camera Remus than I will be on my way."

Remus got up and Sirius took the papers out of Albus hands. He read through what it said than messily scribbled his name on the bottom of the paper. Than underneath where he had sign it he wrote, 'Second Guardian to Harry J. Potter: Remus J. Lupin', he looked up at Remus who had reentered the room and handed the camera to Albus.

"You need to sigh here Remus." he said pointing to the spot below his name as he handed the papers over to Remus, than he turned and looked up at Albus.

"I want Remus to be the second guardian to Harry. It's not good enough for me just to say, 'Oh Remus you're Harry's second guardian'. I want it to be on paper, I want it to be legal."

Albus smiled, "I see Sirius. That is kind on your part. You of course accept that don't you Remus?"

"I love him like my own son Albus. Of course I accept it."

Albus stood and pocketed the camera and took the papers from Remus, "I will be back in a few days. If you need me you know where to find me."

"I'll walk you out Professor." Sirius said as he started to stand.

"No need my boy." he walked over and shook both of their hands before leaving the room. Remus and Sirius sat in silence as heard the 'whoosh' of the fireplace and knew the Headmaster was gone.

He was warm, too warm in fact. He could not recall the last time he had felt this warm or this comfortable. His bed at the Dursley's had springs sticking up through the mattress and his blanket was the one he had used since he was a baby; which hardly even covered his body anymore. His body felt heavy and his head pounded. He tried to recall the previous day but it all seemed blurry, he shifted his body to the side and felt a sharp pain overtake him. That's when the previous day's events came into his mind. No wonder he felt so comfortable and warm, he was no longer at the Dursley's he was with Remus and Sirius. He felt a hand being placed on his leg, he flinched at first but than reminded himself that neither of the men he was with would hurt him. Slowly he began to open his eyes and turned his head to the side so he could see who was next to him. He saw the blurry outline of a man with black hair and he couldn't help but smile a little,

"Sirius-" he rasped out, it hurt his throat to talk; it felt so dry.

"Hey kiddo," he said softly. He turned his back to Harry for a minute and than turned back and gently placed his glasses onto his face. The room swarm into focus and Harry looked up in the comforting face of his Godfather, "How are you feeling?"

"Okay." he replied hoarsely. He looked over and noticed the glass of water sitting on the stand next to the bed, he reached out a shaking hand trying to reach it. Sirius saw what he was trying to do and took Harry's hand gently in his and placed it back down on the bed.

"Let me help you there kiddo." Sirius reached over and grabbed the cup of water, he needed to sit Harry up but he knew that the motion would cause him pain and right now he seemed to relax and not feeling too much of that. So instead he brought the cup to Harry's lips and put a hand under his chin just in case any water would spill as Harry drank still laying down in his bed. Harry put his shaking hands around the cup but was thankful that Sirius helped him, he didn't think he could hold it on his own; he drank from the cup greedily. The ice cold water soothed his throat, he closed his eyes and took one more sip from it before trying to push it away. Sirius got the hint and sat it back down on the nightstand.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome Harry." he reached up and pushed the messy bangs off of Harry's forehead who flinched slightly at the touch but Sirius ignored it. Than very gently he comb his fingers through Harry's hair as he saw the boy's eyes start to droop, "In our seventh year your dad came down with Dragon Pox, it was a few months after your mum and dad started dating. James was terribly sick, they wanted to send him home until he got better but he refused. So he spent about two weeks in the informatory and your mum sat by his side every chance that she got. And of course your father wanted to stay up and flirt with your mum," Sirius shook his head and looked down at the boy who was now looking up at him with large green eyes, "but she told him over and over he needed to rest. So she would always run her fingers through his hair to try and put him to sleep."

"Did it work?" Harry asked innocently, trying to hold his yawn back.

"It did. James would be asleep in minutes once your mum started combing her fingers through his hair," Sirius kept combing his fingers through Harry's hair as he looked down at his Godson, "And she would always comb her fingers through your hair and hum to you when you were fussy."

Harry bit down on his bottom lip, "I miss her and dad."

Sirius felt his heart break, in the few weeks that he had known the boy he hadn't said much about his parents. It wasn't fair that Harry only got to spend a little over a year with them and he had so many years, so many memories with them. Harry should be the one to have all the memories, not him. He tried to get a grip on himself, he had time to grieve the death of two of his best friends and now he needed to be there for Harry.

"And I bet they miss you too kiddo. But you know they are always with you, always," he took his free hand and took Harry's smaller hand in his. He placed Harry's hand on his heart gently and kept his hand on Harry's, "They are always with you Harry. Right here in your heart. Your mum and dad loved you so much, so much. I never seen them happier then when they were with you, you were your parents world. And just because they're not here doesn't mean that they stop loving you. They will always love you Harry."

Harry left his hand on his heart even after Sirius had taken his hand back, "And I love them Sirius, I really do."

Sirius moved his hand from Harry's hair and gently placed it on the side of his Godson's face, "I know you do Harry. You're a good kid. You're parents would be so very proud of you. I'm proud of you and I know that Remus is proud of you as well. Now you need to rest or Remus will ban me from coming into the room to see you." A smile played upon Sirius's lips but it did not quite reach his eyes.

"But I'm not tired," Harry replied as he tried to hold back a yawn, Sirius shook his head and laughed.

"Yes you are. Rest and then the next time you wake up we will get you out of bed and get you something to eat, okay? If you need anything just yell for me."

Harry nodded and closed his eyes as Sirius pulled the blanket up to his chin and tucked Harry in. He knew that most thirteen year old's would object at what he had just done but he knew that Harry never had any kind of affection since his parents had passed. And now with the Dursley's abuse on top of it he knew that no matter how tough Harry might seem on the outside that he wanted the love and affection he had never received. Sirius waited until Harry's breathing was even and slow before he headed out of the room and went into his own room.

Anger filled every ounce of his body, the world was just not fair! Harry did not deserve to go through any of this. He deserved to have his parents, he deserved to know that he was loved and cared about, he should be living with his parents and maybe some siblings and he, Sirius, was supposed to be the one who would spoil him with candy and other treats. He was not supposed to be one who was now raising Harry, that's what parents were for. He kicked his old trunk that sat at the end of his bed. Slowly he came to realize that he and Remus was pretty much all the family that Harry had. Sure he had the Dursley's but he doubted that Harry had ever considered them to be his family, he ran a hand through his hair and sat on the edge of his bed. Yes parents should be the one to raise kids but if parents aren't around to raise them than the ones who love them should raise them. And he Sirius Black did love Harry, he loved Harry like a father would love a son. And he knew that Remus too loved Harry, they might be a group of misfits but they were going to be family.

"Sirius, there is no need to go talk to Molly. I will be fine-"

"No, you have spent too many transformations alone. I want to be there for you Moony."

"But Harry also needs you Sirius, he's been through enough."

Sirius paced the room and looked at his friend, he was torn. The full moon was only days away and he wanted to be there for Remus. He knew how hard the transformation was on him and he wanted to keep him company during it. But at the same time Remus was right, Harry did need him but it was only for one night.

"Moony, you both need me. I haven't been there for you for twelve years. It's for one night I'm sure Harry will understand."

"You don't have to do this Sirius-"

"I know but I want too. I'll go talk to Molly before dinner. And than I, no, we, can talk to Harry about it during dinner and see how he feels about it. It's still a week till the fullmoon."

Remus shook his head and walked into the kitchen to grab a butterbeer, "Why do I feel like no matter what I say you won't listen?"

"Because I'm stubborn."

"Touche" replied Remus and he raised his butterbeer in a mock toast at Sirius than took a swig of it.
