The sun was going down behind the tree on the mountain as I stood on the balcony outside the upstairs library. I had always loved the view of the sunset when I was younger, when I was with Sirius and we were so free and wild. Back then we believed we were young and invincible to anything that could be thrown our way. Back then we thought death wasn't going to find us for a hundred years.

We were kids with foolish dreams of love and always being brave. We were always brave, at least until we had a reason to be scared. We use to think we were so cool but on that faithful day when I found out about my brother I realized we weren't cool, we were foolish and stupid to think our lives could ever be truly happy.

"Oh Sirius," I whispered as a baby's cry sounded from the next room. I walked back into the library and shut the doors leading out to the beautiful balcony which was covered in wines my mother had started growing a year after James and I started Hogwarts.

I hurried to the nursery and stopped in my tracks when I saw a man dressed in prisoner robes and with his hair pulled back over his face. "Sirius?" my voice trembled as the man rocked my son trying to stop the baby boy's tears. "What are you doing here?"

The man, my Sirius, turned to face me. His grey eyes searched my then hazel green eyes as he whispered "Remus and Dumbledore know that Wormtail is the traitor. I escaped Hogwarts last night on Buckbeak."

I frowned as I scooped Rose into my arms "Sirius, who's Buckbeak?"

Sirius grinned as Orion grabbed a piece of his hair "Hagrid's Hippogriff, with the help of Harry and his friend…Hermione I managed to escape the ministry and the dementors once again."

I opened my mouth when a loud pounding came from the front door. I threw a look at Sirius who was already putting Orion back into his crib. "Hide," I whispered before rushing out the room with Rose still in my arms.

"Coming!" I yelled as the pounding got louder. I pulled open the door to find the minister of magic, Albus Dumbledore, and close to fourteen Aurors along with a few hit wizards. "Albus, what is going on?" I asked as the Aurors and hit wizards pushed past me.

"We are here to check your manor for Sirius Black." Dumbledore said as Fudge held out a piece of parchment I knew all to well. It was a warrant saying they had permission to check the whole house from the Wizarding Wizengamot itself.

"Fine, Albus would you like to come and meet Orion Mathew Bl…Potter?" I asked as I looked at all the aurors running around, not trusting any of them but Kingsley and Madeye.

Dumbledore nodded in delight and said "Of course, a great wizard in the making I suspect?"

I smiled and said "Just like his father."

The Ministry people checked every inch of the house twice before Fudge decided that Sirius Black wasn't at Potter Manor. I rolled my eyes at this while thinking 'You think you idiot? Do you think he'd stick around so he can go play with the dementors some more?'

"Well, I will be seeing you again soon I hope." Dumbledore said as I walked him to the door.

"Not too soon, can't have people thinking that Harry and Johnny are getting favoritism from the Hogwarts headmaster." I joked as I heard a floorboard upstairs creak.

"Yes, say hello to your guest for me." Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling knowingly.

"Will do," I said as he walked down the sidewalk. I shut the door as Sirius's voice said "Harry knows Wormtail's the one that gave Lily and James up."

I sighed as I turned to face him "He'll be happy to see you," I said as I ran a hand over my sleeping sons head as he snuggled into his father's chest.

"Remus told me he was here when they were born." Sirius said following me into the livingroom.

I sat down on the couch and lifted Rose onto my shoulder "Yeah, I named my friend Lacy and her fiancée godparents of Orion and Molly and Arthur Weasley godparents of Rose."

Sirius nodded as he sat down beside me "I'm going to stay here until tomorrow, and then I need to go north so I can move the attention away from here and Hogwarts. I should be back in about two weeks."

"Sirius," I whispered "I just got you back, you can't leave."

Sirius ran a thumb down my cheek as he leaned toward me "I have to Gracie, as much as I hate it, I can't get you in trouble and I get put you and the twins in danger." His breath hit my face as he stopped moving an inch from me. Then, as if he had to think about it, he leaned forward and sealed the statement with a gentle kiss. The kind of kiss I had dreamed of for months.

"I love you Gracie," Sirius whispered wiping away a stray tear from my cheek

"I love you too Siri," I mumbled as I pressed my lips to his once more.

"Oh how sweet,"
