AN: I just realized that I had Sirius introduce Lily to Aden in chapter 2, even though they knew each other. He's kind of an oblivious man; he did that because it was kind of awkward for him at the moment
It was Tuesday. Sirius was lying in the living room, flipping through the news channels on his little television. Harry was crawling around, looking for things to play with. He found Sirius's wand on the floor, and started poking one of the pillows lying on the floor with it.
He poked it, and each time he did it got bigger, until-BAM! It exploded. Sirius jumped up into an explosion of feathers.
"Harry, no!" Sirius said, laughing. He picked him up and swung him around, landing him on his hip. "Gimme my wand."
"No!" Harry said, trying to hold the wand higher.
"That's not helping you Harry." Sirius said, quickly grabbing the wand out of his hand. Harry stuck out his lip, pouting.
"Sirius!" Lily ran into the room, a letter in her hand. "Sirius-what happened in here?"
"Your son stole my wand and blew up a pillow." Sirius handed Harry to Lily. Harry buried his head in Lily's hair.
"Well bad timing on his part, because I just got a letter from Dumbledore." Lily held up the sheet of paper in her hand.
"What?" Sirius yelped, waving his wand at the feathers. "What does he want?"
"He needs to talk to me, and he's coming here today."
"When?"
Lily heard a slight popping sound coming from outside. "I guess now."
Sirius rushed to make the feathers disappear, and straightened up the room with a flick of his wand. Lily pulled Harry out of her hair and looked right into his eyes.
"Harry, we've got a visitor."
"Dada?" Harry exclaimed, looking around. Lily closed her eyes, trying as hard as she could not to cry.
"No Harry, not Dada." Lily said, and she walked over to the front door. Harry looked disappointed, his green eyes losing their glow.
"Let's do this." Sirius said, and pulled the door open.
"Hello Sirius," Dumbledore said, stepping inside.
"Professor." Sirius nodded back.
"Lily. Dear Lily." Dumbledore said to her. He hugged her tightly, comforting her. "You have gone through far too much in the past three days that no woman should have to go through in a lifetime." He sighed. "How are you doing?"
"Better than I expected." Lily said. "I mean, I haven't been attacked by Lord Voldemort or anything."
"Of course not!" Dumbledore exclaimed. "Lord Voldemort is furious, but unable to find you. Luckily, we didn't tell Peter about this specific location." He waved around the house.
"Yeah, he didn't deserve to know, the cowardly, ignorant little-"
"Sirius!" Lily said. "Language!" She covered Harry's ear, and he pulled her hands away quickly.
"Oh, and here's little Harry!" Dumbledore exclaimed, walking over to him. He peered over his half-moon spectacles, examining the little boy. Harry squinted up at him, and then smiled widely.
"So, Professor." Sirius started. He walked over to the couch, and gestured for Dumbledore to follow. "What exactly are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to you both."
Lily sat down in the armchair to the right of the couch, and set happy on the floor. He rolled onto his stomach and put his hands on his chubby little cheeks, pushing them up towards his eyes. Dumbledore chuckled slightly at this, and turned to Lily.
"Lily, where are you planning on staying?" He asked her.
"Well, I was thinking here."
"No, no. We don't know who knows about this house, and how it could get to Lord Voldemort. We need to move you. Get you a whole new identity." Dumbledore sighed.
"A whole new identity?" Sirius looked confused.
"Just for when she goes out in public, a few appearance-changing spells should do the trick." He leaned forward. "And what are you going to do about money?"
"Well, I have money in Gringotts, but if I want to stay hidden…" Lily sighed. "I guess I'm going to have to get a job somewhere."
Sirius looked annoyed by this, but stayed silent.
"And last, but not least…" Dumbledore reached into a small hidden pocket of his robes, and pulled out a small parcel. "When I got to the wreckage, James's body had survived. I brought you some things I found."
Lily took the parcel and opened it slowly. Inside of it were James's long wand, and his round glasses. Lily choked up a little, looking at the worn marks and fingerprints on the wand.
"I think you need a wand?"
Lily nodded, still unable to sleep. She waved the wand at Harry's stuffed owl, and made it float in the air perfectly.
"Professor," Lily began. "This isn't my wand, but it worked perfectly for me. Why?"
"Well, I'm no Ollivander, but I think it's because of the strong bond of love that held you and James together. There is a piece of him in you, and the wand sense that."
Sirius looked torn, and he was fingering the glasses gingerly. Harry crawled over, using the couch to lift himself up, and he tried to grab the glasses.
"You want 'em Harry?" Sirius said, lifting him up. He put the glasses on Harry, and he looked exactly like James. Harry giggled as the glasses slid down his nose, too big for him. Lily couldn't help but smile at the resemblance.
Dumbledore grinned at little Harry, and turned back to Lily.
"I must go now, but remember. Move. Hide. Find a new secret-keeper. Stay concealed." Dumbledore turned to Sirius. "And yes, you can tell Aden."
Sirius widened his eyes, and didn't even get off the couch to lead Dumbledore out. When Lily returned from the door, she sat next to Sirius and Harry.
"So where do we go now?" She asked.
