The next morning, right before Lily left for work she reminded her kids that they weren't supposed to tell any of the other kids about Remus's furry little problem, without his permission. The kids promised not to tell, while Lily hoped that she didn't have any of the other parents send a message to her at work about letting a werewolf near their kids. While on her lunch break, she went upstairs to see James hoping that he would at least recognize her and to tell James that the kids know Remus's secret.

"Well James both Harry and Jamie know about Remus's furry little problem. At least they're not scared of him now, even though Harry thinks that its cool that he knows a real live werewolf. That means that we've probably going to keep a close eye on him during the full moon, to make sure that he doesn't try to see a werewolf transform on his own," Lily told James while he just looked at her with his usual blank expression on his face. Growing frustrated with his lack of response, Lily decided to tell him about her outings with Severus to see if he would even react to the news.

"James, I've been seeing Severus at least once a month for dinner, even though nothing has happened yet," she admitted to James, looking for a reaction from him.

When she didn't get a reaction from her husband, she sadly realized that she could have told him that she was shagging Severus and James would still look at her the same way as if he didn't care. She left his room upset with the realization that James would never know what was going on around him. By the time she had gotten back to work, she wiped away the tears from her face and did the best to hide her feelings from her coworkers. When she got off from work, she went over to the Weasleys to prepare for the children's trip to the nursing home that evening. When she got there she saw that all of the Weasley children were there, since Hogwarts had just gotten out of class that day for the winter break, with Neville Longbottom whose grandmother didn't understand why they couldn't just go to St. Mungo's and Luna Lovegood with both of her parents. To no one's surprise Augusta Longbottom was talking to Xeno Lovegood about putting her grandson's part of this into The Quibbler, while Neville looked like he just wanted to be with his friends and be a normal kid without any special attention whatsoever. Of course Lily was slightly surprised when she saw Sirius's cousin, Nymphadora there with Charlie who appeared to be her boyfriend at the time. At least she her hair color was her natural black color, instead of her usual pink that she wore. Lily assumed that her dad warned her that she would shock the elderly muggles who lived in the nursing home, with her pink hair. Hopefully he also warned her that the muggles wouldn't be used to her metamorphosing ability. When they arrived at the Sunrise nursing home after getting all of the kids organized and the little candy packs that they planned on handing out afterwards together, they were greeted by the nursing home administrator who immediately took them into the resident's common room. When they got there, they were surprised to see a boy about Charlie's age sitting in a wheelchair with a board with the alphabet written on it who looked like he was unresponsive. Lily had a sinking feeling in her stomach, wondering when her kids realized that kid was in the same situation that James was making a mental note to ask the administrator later about his treatment. The adults immediately had the kids arranged in their positions for the performance that they were going to give in the nursing home, with the older kids helping out with the younger ones. Much to the adults' relief the kids seemed to be well behaved, even the Weasley twins who thought that it would be funny to change the lyrics to the songs. Though after the performance both Harry and Jamie walked over to the teenager who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Was he hurt by bad guys too?" they asked their mother curious to see a muggle in a similar condition like their father.

"I don't know, but there are other ways to get hurt like that other than someone attacking them," Lily answered her two children.

"Like what?" Jamie asked. "Why don't you continue to visit with the residents and later when we're home we'll talk about it," Lily answered them

While the other adults supervised the children in handing out the candy packs for the residents, Lily made an appointment with the nursing home administrator to tour the facility to see if it was possible that they had room for James. The rest of the evening proved uneventful, and when they returned to the Weasleys later on that evening, Harry and Jamie started to ask their mother questions about what the guy that they saw in the nursing home.

"Mum, why was that man in a chair that moved, while daddy has to stay in bed all day?" Harry asked his mum.

"Well, muggles have different way of doing things like putting a person like your father in a wheelchair, which is what the chair that you saw him in is called," Lily answered her son sadly realizing that James would have had better treatment in a muggle facility than at St. Mungos.

Lily hoped that there would be a place for James at Sunrise, if not then hopefully she'll find a muggle nursing home that can take them. It would be nice if James could communicate with them again, since she and the kids were intrigued by a board with the alphabet on it that the man in the nursing home seemed to use to communicate with. The only thing that she was worried about was Sirius's and Remus's reactions to her putting James in a muggle home. Later when the group returned to The Burrow, the other adults knew that something was troubling Lily.

"Lily what's wrong?" Molly asked.

"I can't get that kid out of my head, the one that reminds me of James. I wonder if James would be better off in a muggle home, and I wonder if I should of put him there in the first place instead of St. Mungo's," Lily answered her friend.

"At least now you know and you're looking at putting him in there aren't you?" Laura asked joining the two women.

"Yes, but I don't want to get the kids' hopes up yet in case it doesn't work out," Lily answered her.

"I understand, but how would the people at work react to you taking your husband out of St. Mungo's and placing them in a muggle nursing home?" Molly asked sounding worried about Lily's job.

"I don't care what they think, if I think that James would get better care in a muggle place than a wizarding place, I'll put him there. I'm sure that either of you would do the same thing if that was one of your loved ones in there. Besides I want the best for James and I think that putting him in a muggle home would be the best for him. If this place doesn't have room for him, then I'll find another home that would," Lily answered Molly trying to convince them that everything would work out fine and worrying about how Sirius, Remus and the kids would take the news about James.

The next day when Remus came over to care for the kids, while she was at work Lily asked to speak with him and Sirius if he could come when she got off from work since she wanted him to hear what she had to say too. Right after she got off from work, she went up to the Janus Thickey ward to visit James and to meet with his Healer to find out how to get the paperwork started on getting him transferred to a muggle facility.

"James, I know that you probably don't understand what I'm saying, but I'm seriously considering putting you in a muggle care facility. We took the kids to one over Christmas and they saw a young man just like you, but instead of lying in bed all day he was able to get around in a wheelchair. He could even communicate with us through a talking board, wouldn't it be nice if you could let us know what you were thinking, I know that we would love it if you could talk to us, especially Jamie since you never really got to know her. Hopefully, we'll be able to put you in a home close to either the Weasleys or our home since both Harry and Jamie are friends with their two youngest children, Ron and Ginny. I don't care what anyone else thinks about this, though I expect Sirius to raise a fuss about it, since he thinks that wizarding ways are better than muggle ways," Lily told her husband while waiting for the Healer to see her.

"Mrs. Potter, I believe that you wanted to see me," Healer Smith motioned to Lily while leading her to her office.

"Yes, I'm thinking about transferring James to a muggle facility permanently and I want to know what I would need to do in order to transfer him," Lily asked Healer Jones. "Why do you want to move him? What can they offer him that we can't?" Healer Jones asked Lily sounding interested in why one of St. Mungo's Healers would want to transfer one of their patients.

"I feel that he would get better care there, plus I visited with the kids to a muggle nursing home and saw a patient there like James who was sitting in a wheelchair and not lying in bed like James does. He even had a little board that he used to communicate his needs to the staff with, while James just lays in bed all day long," Lily explained to Healer Jones. "Fine, you'll need to fill out these forms and since James has already been here for six years and there is no change in his condition, the Ministry has a good chance of allowing the transfer. James may need to be looked at by a muggle doctor, since it's been six years that he has last been seen by one of their doctors. I hope that you know understand that they can't cure him," Healer Jones answered her sounding concerned that she was getting her hopes up.

"I know that James would never be cured, but I'm sure that he would want me to get the best care for him, whether it be muggle or magical," Lily reassured the Healer that she knew what she was doing.

Healer Jones than led Lily out of her office, who on the way home wondered how she was going to tell Remus, Sirius and the kids about her decision to put James in a muggle nursing home.
