Still don't own the characters except Clara...
Sirius' POV
Present
"Woah! You snogged her on the first date? Way to go Sirius!" George said as Molly his him in the arm. I laughed.
"Anyways, then we grew older..." I told them.
"Wait, how come you never told us you had a child?" Molly interjected and I sighed.
"Not the most pleasant topic of conversation, as you can imagine." I told her with a small shrug. "Now as I was saying, things got a lot more complicated..."

Out of Hogwarts now
I was pacing around the room. I didn't know what I was going to do. Voldemort was back and he was going to kill James and Lily. I didn't know when and quite honestly I didn't care. They were going to die and we couldn't stop him.
Every time I thought of them dying I kept thinking of their little child. They named the small black haired boy Harry. He looked just like James. He could very well grow up without having his parents. They had already named me the godfather, but I didn't want to raise him. I would, but I didn't like the thought of them dying.
"Sirius, calm down." I whirled around and saw Clara looking at me thoughtfully. She knew that I was scared, stressed, everything you can think of. She was just trying to stay calm.
"I can't calm down!" I told her and began to think more.
"Please, just stay calm..." She tried to keep me calm which obviously wasn't working.
"He's going to kill them." I was now talking to myself more than I was talking to her.
"Not if we protect them." She said to me.
"What if he comes to us? I don't even know if I would be able to keep their secret!" I groaned and looked at the roof.
"You would be able to." She tried to assure me, putting a hand on my arm. "They trust you, and I would trust you with my life too."
"But what if he came and threatened you?" I asked her. "Then what should I do?"
She sighed, obviously having something on her mind. "Then... Give me up..."
"I'm never going to do that." I told her and she sighed.
"Lily and James are your best friends-"
"And you are the love of my life Clara." I told her and stroked her cheek. "I don't know what I would do."
"You would have to." She told me.
"I can't do this though." I said and broke away, pacing around again. "Not with everything that is happening... I'll just tell them to make Peter their secret keeper."
"What do you mean? Why not Remus?" She asked.
"He's a spy, I think. He's either for Voldemort or the ministry." I told her.
"No." She told me. "You have to stay their secret keeper."
"Why though? They could die. They could be killed!" I groaned and then continued to list off everything that would happen. "Harry could become an orphan, Lily and James could die-"
"I'm pregnant." She blurted out.
I froze and then turned to her. "Wait... What?"
"I'm pregnant." She said and then smiled very lightly. "I found out two days ago..."
I walked over to her and hugged her. "Oh my god... I can't be their secret keeper."
"Why not?" She asked and hugged me back.
"Because he could kill you, and our child." I told her.
I had made up my mind right then. As much as I loved James and Lily, and I knew I would love Harry, I couldn't put Clara and our unborn child in danger.
"So I guess they should get Wormtail then." I said. Peter was always trustworthy. He would do anything for James and Lily. He was one of our best friends and there was no doubt in my mind that he would guard them with his life.

Present
"That was a wrong decision." I looked up as Remus walked in the room. I always regretted how I thought he was a spy. He would have been the best choice to guard James and Lily. He was really the one that would protect them.
"It seemed like the right choice at the time." I reminded them. Now they were all surrounding me like it was story time.
"Of course." Remus nodded.
"Come on!" Ginny said impatiently. "Can you please continue? I want to hear about your son!"
I laughed. "Well, never knew I would be the center of attention here." I said and chuckled. "Anyways, so as you can assume we had to talk to James and Lily..."
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
I knocked on the door and waited. Not many people knew where the Potters lived, and I wasn't supposed to go visit them. But this was actually very important for their safety, and the safety of little Harry.
Jamed opened the door and smiled at me and Clara as he saw us. "Hey Sirius. Hey Clara." He said. He looked the same as he always had, just more tired. More stressed.
"Hey James." I said and he opened the door to let us in.
We followed him inside where he gestured for us to sit down. Lily walked in, carrying small Harry on her hip. He looked at me with his huge eyes that were just like Lily's.
"Hey Harry." Clara said to the small baby that seemed totally oblivious to us.
"So what do you need?" James asked me polietly.
"Well... I think that you should make Peter your secret keeper." I told him and he looked at me.
"Wait... Why?" He asked me, a bit concerned.
"Because Clara is pregnant and I can't put her in danger. You Know Who will know that I am your secret keeper, it might throw him off if you make it Peter." I told him.
"Alright, I understand." He told me and then smiled. "Congratulations on the baby."
"Thanks." I said and smiled very lightly as we both stood up. We knew that we couldn't stay long.
"Keep safe James and Lily. You too Harry." Clara said with a big smile.
"You too." Lily said as we both walked away.
Little did we know, their lives were just put in mortal danger.
End of chapter! Those were supposed to be two different chapters, but instead of having two short ones I decided on one long one. So you know what to do, review!
