If He's Not Who They Think He Is
Chapter 5
I don't own Harry Potter.

"How do you feel? Being a free man again?" I asked Sirius once Dumbledore and Fudge had finished interagating him and Peter and set Sirius free.

"I feel...lost. For the past 12 years, my only goal has been to get out of Azkaban. I've done that, what now?"

"Well," I said quietly, "You have Harry, you have your house on Grimmauld Place, you have me."

Sirius' face broke out into a full-out grin. "Really?" he asked, "Even after all these years, I still have you?"

I gave Sirius a grin and a quick kiss. "You never lost me."

...

"Uncle Moony, where are you going for the summer?" Harry asked, sitting on the edge of my bed as I packed my trunk on the last day of the term.

"I'm going to Sirius' place in London. You can come visit us next week if you want," I said, packing the last of my things and closing the trunk. "Have you packed yet?"

"Yeah, I finished yesterday," Harry said laying back, spread eagle, on my bed.

I chuckled and lay next to him on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

"Uncle Moony?" he asked, turning on his side.

I raised an eyebrow and turned to face him.

"How did you know? That Uncle Padfoot was the one for you?" he asked, his face more serious than any 13 year old's should ever be.

"At first I didn't. He was just a good friend that I hung out with and didn't talk to about serious things.

"Then he found out that I was a were-wolf and got James and Peter to become Animagus with him and I felt like I could really...really talk to him because I knew he cared.

"Then one day, after potions. he pulled me aside, away from James and Peter and he kissed me. When he pulled back, he was scared, scared that I would reject him.

"I was shocked. I knew I liked him, but I thought he was straight. He started to leave, but I grabbed his arm and pulled him back. He tensed, like he was expecting to be punched.

"But I pulled him down and kissed him.

"And that was it. I knew that we were meant to be together.

"Around the time you were born we had a baby too. A little boy that looked so much like Sirius."

"What happened to him?" Harry asked.

"We had to give him up," I said softly, "Sirius is a pure-blood whose whole family supported Voldemort, but he chose to side with Dumbledore. I'm a were-wolf. He was safer without us."

"Just like my parents," Harry said softly. "Did I have two dads too?"

"Yes," I said, "There's a picture of you with your birth parents in a photo album at Sirius' house. I can show it to you when you come if you want."

"I'd like that a lot Uncle Moony," Harry said with a grin, "I better go now. I'll have to deal with the Dursleys tomorrow so I'll need my strength," he said, getting up off the bed.

"Good luck," I called after him, sitting up.

"Thanks, I'll need it," Harry called back, closing the door behind him.
