The days that followed the word play were somewhat easygoing. With every passing day, the older Sirius and Harry got more and more depressed and soon they isolated themselves from Godrics Hollow. Sirius and Harry could easily be found at the Sirius Estate sitting and the couch next to each other, not saying one word. Sirius and Harry both knew that there was a possibility that their well-thought out plan wouldn't work and something would go wrong, causing them to be more depressed. Everything was in place though, the Death Eaters were caught, tied down in the dungeons and the polyjuice potion ready. Sirius and Harry had their doubts no matter what anyone else said. Harry and Sirius couldn't take the pain of being all happy around James and Lily and then losing them…again. It just wouldn't work for them.

James and Lily would visit them from time to time but it wouldn't go well. Harry and Sirius would spend about two minutes in the same room as them before getting up and leaving. They didn't want any memories of them, they didn't want any conversations with them, Harry and Sirius didn't want anything to do with them. They were scared but they wouldn't admit it to anyone. Lily and James didn't understand why Harry and Sirius would isolate themselves all of a sudden and it didn't go over well with them so they stop visiting Harry and Sirius.

Lupin convinced Sirius and Harry to at least come to Godrics Hollow one last time before leaving. Lily and James really wanted to see Harry and James needed Sirius. Harry and Sirius were sitting across from each other at Godrics Hollow only a few hours before the big show down. They've been silent and hadn't moved since their arrival this morning. Lupin came and sat in the middle of them, making a triangle and joined them in the depressed little corner.

Harry heard the others in the living room, all laughing and playing with Baby Harry, and it made him sad.

"Almost time," Lupin muttered but Sirius and Harry ignored him.

Harry sighed and stood up, "Better late than never, right?"

He walked into the living room and he first met Baby Harry's eyes, "Daddy?"

Harry shook his head, "No, I'm not daddy. He is." Harry pointed to James. "Prongs is our daddy."

James handed Baby Harry over to Sirius, and walked the distance to Harry, "Harry."

Harry wouldn't meet his eyes, wouldn't look at him, would just stand there looking at the floor. The next thing Harry processed was that he was in his dad's arms. Everyone felt the energy between James and Harry, it was almost suffocating. Harry twisted his arms around James and buried his face in his dad's chest. Lily came over and kissed Harry's head, "It will be okay."

James let go and let Lily take his place, "Harry, it will be okay."

"No it won't," Harry whispered. "Everything in my life is messed up. Nothing ever goes as planned."

Lily kissed his forehead, "I love you Harry."

"Love you too, mum," Harry attempted to smile.

Harry slid down the wall and put his head in his knees. James, seeing this, sat next to Harry and out his arm around him, not saying anything. The energy was back in the room and everyone was silent. They knew this was going to be the hardest thing for both Harry and James.

Baby Harry slid off the younger Sirius' lap and crawled over to James, "Daddy, what wrong?"

"He's sad," James replied. "It makes daddy sad."

Baby Harry stood up hanging on to the tops of James' knees, "I make it better." Baby Harry carefully took the two steps from James to Harry and patted Harry's head, "No cry. Crying is bad."

Harry lifted his head and smiled, "I'm not going to cry."

"I make you better," Baby Harry smiled and hugged Harry, "All better!"

Harry smiled and the baby, "You're very cute, Harry."

Baby Harry laughed, "I know."

The group in the living room laughed.

"You know what you should do, Harry?" Harry asked, seeing the still depressed older Sirius in the entrance hall, "You should go see the other Uncle Padfoot. He's really really sad. You should go make him feel better."

"Where other Uncle Pa'foot?" Baby Harry asked.

Harry pointed to the older Sirius, who was just in view, "Right there."

Harry crawled away toward the older Sirius. Baby Harry lifted himself up hanging on to Sirius' shoulder, "Uncle Pa'foot sad?"

The older Sirius looked up, "Hi Prongslet."

"Daddy said you were sad," Baby Harry hugged the older Sirius. "I make you all better."

+Sirius smiled, "You make me all better."

Baby Harry kissed him on the cheek, "All better!"

The older Lupin looked at his watch, "Padfoot, uh we should be going."

The older Sirius picked Harry up and walked to the living room, "I love you Prongslet." He handed the baby to his younger self, "Don't worry, Harry is going to grow up to be the bravest boy you ever meet."

Lily almost threw herself at the older Sirius, already in tears, "I can't thank you enough, for all you do for Harry, Sirius."

Sirius kissed her cheek, "I'll miss you."

Harry hugged Lily one last time, "I'll miss you, mum."

"It will work, Harry, I promise," Lily kissed his forehead one final time. "I love you."

"Love you too," Harry smiled.

Harry turned to his dad and sighed and tears started to make their way down his face, "Dad."

James embraced him and tried to keep tears back. Harry and James didn't say anything. Harry calmed himself and backed away and turned towards the younger Sirius and Lupin, "I'll see you two later." He looked back up at his dad.

"I love you Harry," James whispered.

"Love you too dad," Harry replied with one final hug.

"Prongs," The older Sirius smiled and hugged him. "I love you, man."

James laughed, "I love you too, Padfoot. You'll always be my brother."

Lily had let go of Remus, "He deserves to know."

Lupin shook his head, "No, he can't. It would be way to dangerous. It will work though."

James hugged him next, "It will. I've always trusted you with your plans."

Sirius put his arm around Harry, who looked like he was concentrating on not crying. He met James' eyes once more before walking out with Sirius.

"Prongs, remember," The older Lupin added. "As soon as Padfoot and Moony leave you should place and anti-apparation charm around the house. We'll be in touch soon."

Lupin walked out of the house and met Sirius and Harry at the end of the walkway, right outside the door, "Let's go. We need to ready the Death Eaters."
