James got up off the ground and looked at Sirius, "What happened?"
Sirius looked behind him at the approaching Lupin and cloaked Harry, "Well, I'll just tell you later when we're with Lils. It will be more fun."
James looked a little dumbfounded, "Who's that and why in Merlin's name is he in a cloak? It's like a hundred degrees out."
Sirius put his arm around Harry, "This right here is Draco. And he's in a cloak because he's strange like that."
Harry gabbed Sirius' arm and glared at him. Sirius, feeling the hole being dug into his head, removed his arm from Harry and stood next to James, "I'm training him to be an Auror and the only way to do that is for him to listen to everything I say."
James sighed, "I'm sorry, you chose him Draco. If I knew people needed training than I would have volunteered." He turned to Sirius, "Why are you here?"
"I missed you so much, Prongs," Sirius hugged James.
James prayed off Sirius and took a step back, "You just saw me like ten minutes ago. Remember we're having dinner together tonight."
"Well, I missed you to much to stay away. Why are you here?" Sirius asked.
James started walking, "I ran out of Firewiskey."
"Is Mrs. Potter banning it from the house again?" Sirius asked with a smile on his face.
James' face then had a frown on it, "Yes. She thinks that it's a bad example for Harry. And then I told her that it won't be my fault if he turns out like me. She actually agreed with me. Lily thinks it will be your fault, Padfoot."
Sirius looked like he got slapped in the face, "My fault? How can it possibly be my fault? He's your kid."
"You are always with him though, Sirius," Lupin said standing on the other side of James. "You and James are like brothers."
"Well, if he turns out like me, he will also turn out like you, James," Sirius added.
"He has a point you know," James stopped in front of a book store. "Do you think Harry would like a book for his birthday?"
Sirius put a hand on James shoulder, "He's turning one, Prongs. He can't even talk in full sentences."
"Because of you," James blamed. "If you didn't make sounds every time you talked to Harry, and actually talked to him, he would probably be talking."
"I do not make sounds," Sirius defended himself.
James made several noises and then said, "Those wouldn't be considered words, Padfoot."
Sirius crossed his arms, "Don't be mad that I can speak baby and you can't. And Lily talks to him like he's a baby anyways."
"He is a baby, Padfoot. And plus, she actually talks to him," James said a little angry.
"Whatever," Sirius whispered.
"We should really be getting home," James turned to Harry. "Are you coming with us?"
"Yes, he is," Sirius answered for him. "Again, all the answers will be given at home where no one can hear us."
"Well, let me go get Pettigrew," James stopped because the ground underneath him started shaking.
Sirius pulled Harry into his arms and held him there for a couple seconds, "That won't be needed, Prongs. We ran into Peter already."
James stared at Harry, who was still in Sirius' arms, "Padfoot, do you know this boy? Like you know Harry."
Sirius nodded his head, "Yes. I know him just like I know Harry."
James stared at him for a second, "Who's son is that?"
"That is something that I can not say in front of him. It's kind of a sensitive subject," Sirius couldn't smile.
"Okay well, we shouldn't keep Lily waiting," Lupin clapped his hands together.
They all disapparated in front of the house. James turned to them, "I might have pissed Lily off after you guys left today. I'm not entirely sure."
They walked in and they all went straight into the living room and sat on the couch, Harry in-between Sirius and Lupin.
"Lily, your Prince Charming has arrived," James yelled.
"But," Sirius started trying not to laugh, "He turned out to be a conceited, twenty-two year old, Quidditch playing person who struts. Oh wait, that is Prongsie!"
Lily came in with Baby Harry on her hip and a smile on her face. Once she actually saw Lupin and Sirius she stopped and looked at them, "What happened?"
"Uncy Padfoo'" Baby Harry screamed.
Sirius jumped up off the couch and took Baby Harry from Lily and then sat next to Harry once again, "So so this is what happened. This morning I might have accidentally spilled some aging potion into Moony's pumpkin juice. So then he acted just like an adult and forced me onto the floor and shoved a little to much into my mouth."
Lily laughed, "And him?"
"Uncy Padfoo'! Uncy Padfoo'!" Baby Harry said over and over and he climbed all over Sirius, who was now on the ground.
"Draco, here, is my apprentice. I'm training him to be an Auror," Sirius started again. "He's staying with me until he can be on his own. He is of age but he needs someone. He isn't retarded either, well sometimes he can be a jerk but that's just him."
Harry smiled under his hood. He kept his eyes on Lily. He was so glad that he actually got to see his mom. She was so much more beautiful than the pictures.
"You smiled just my husband, Draco," Lily sweetly said. "What happened to his parents?"
Sirius sat next to Harry once more with Baby Harry on his lap, "Voldemort finished them off. Tragic loss. When he was only a baby."
"I'm so sorry, Draco," Lily watched Harry's head drop and land in his hands.
Harry sat like that trying to hold back tears. Lily was so close. He just wanted to go up to her and hug her. The next thing Harry knew was someone was kneeling in front of him, hugging him, "A mother's love never leaves."
"Lily, maybe now isn't the best time," Sirius almost whispered.
When Harry looked back up, Lily was by James again, staring at Baby Harry.
Baby Harry was on Sirius' lap moving and playing around, his back towards Harry. Harry watched Sirius start tickling Baby Harry. The sound of his laughing reminded Harry of himself, but younger. Baby Harry was laughing so hard that he fell backwards on to Harry's lap. Baby Harry stopped laughing and stood on Harry's lap, Harry's arms on his back.
"Daddy?" Baby Harry asked looking under the cloak. "Uncy Padfoo," Baby Harry looked over at Sirius and pointed at Harry, "Daddy?"
"Look Harry," Sirius quickly said. "Doggie!" Sirius changed and licked Baby Harry's face.
Baby Harry pushed the dog's face away, "No, Doggie. Daddy." Baby Harry looked over at Lupin, "Moon, daddy." Baby Harry once again pointed at Harry.
"No, that's Draco. Not daddy," Lupin said picking up Harry and placing him on his lap.
Baby Harry wiggled out of Lupin's grip and crawled across the couch and sat on Harry's lap but looked at James, "Daddy?" He laughed as he clapped his hands.
James looked over at the dog form of Sirius, "Why does he wear the hood?"
Sirius took a deep breath, "Look Prongs, there is something I need to tell you but you can't say anything. Ok?"
James stared at Sirius, "You sound like you are about to tell me that this kid is someone important."
"He is," Sirius broke eye contact. "He's important to Prongslet future."
"He can help?" James asked. "He can save Harry?"
Sirius looked over at Harry and then at James, "He can help save you and Lily. Harry doesn't need saving."
"Mummy!" Baby Harry crawled off Harry and over to Lily where stood himself up by Lily's legs. He grabbed one of Lily's hands and pulled.
Lily stood up and helped Baby Harry walk back over to Harry. Baby Harry opened and closed his fists at Harry, who picked him up and placed him on his lap, "Mummy," He pointed at Lily. "Daddy," He pointed at James. "Daddy," He pointed at Harry then looked back up at Lily.
"Does he look like Daddy?" Lily asked kneeling down to Baby Harry's height. "Does he remind you of Daddy?"
James stood up and pulled Sirius just inches from his face, "Padfoot, why does he keep calling him 'daddy'?"
"I don't know," Sirius put his hands up in defense. "Well I do know but you'd flip out. I can't tell you. You have to trust me first."
James let go of Sirius, "We're brothers, Padfoot. I trust you with my life. That's why I wanted you Secret Keeper. Just tell me."
"Oh. My. God." James and Sirius looked over at Lily who was looking at Harry, her mouth open. "You and Harry. You could be brothers." Lily stood up and moved from in front of Harry. "I think I know why he calls him 'Daddy'."
James' mouth dropped open. He thought he was looking into a mirror or something, "Who are you?"
"You really want to know?" Harry asked looking up at his dad. "My name is Harry James Potter."
"Hello family!" The front door opened and in stepped Sirius and Lupin.
"We're in here," Lily called.
When Sirius and Lupin stepped into the living room, everyone's mouth's dropped open.
"What is going on?" Lily asked looking at everyone.
Baby Harry screamed and clapped his hands, clearly happy.
