Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter


Harry stared at himself in the mirror. His robes were all black and all tucked in the right places. He sighed, letting his elbows lean on the sink. He was going to see Lily and James today, and he didn't know what to think. Sirius was getting Jace ready and that was obviously going well by the way his brother was shrieking in the background. Harry sighed, ready to go help Sirius, but turned back to the mirror. His hair was as neat as he could comb it, which meant it was stuck up in all unnatural places. Harry's face was gaunt and tired looking and his bright emerald eyes were shadowed. His cheeks were protruded, and overall he still looked like a skeleton with skin pulled over it and was as short as a bloody toddler. Harry scowled at himself in the mirror. He was almost six years old for Merlin's sake, not a baby like Jace.

Harry jumped as the mirror suddenly spoke, "Don't worry dear, you look great. Though you still need to fatten up a lot," said the unusually kind mirror.

"Thanks," Harry said aloud to the the disembodied voice and left the bathroom.

Jace it seemed had calmed down and immediately clapped his hands as Harry came out. "Ha'ry Ha'ry Ha'ry, " he absently babbled.

Harry put his hand on his brother's hand, there was not much of a difference between them.

"Hmm. Looks like you did pretty well Sirius," said Harry, pretending to give Jace a once over. "Soon you'll be a master in clothing, bathing, and feeding a baby."

"Hey," Sirius mock-scowled, "I'm already a master. This little ruffian was just cranky."

"Oh so you're still behind in mastering the art of putting a baby to sleep," Harry said playfully.

Sirius laughed and began tickling Harry.

"What you mean this baby?"

"I'm not a baby," Harry shrieked on top of his lungs.

"Ickle baby Harrikans," Sirius teased, now tickling Jace.

Sirius smiled as he surveyed both boys, one giggling till he had tears in his eyes and the other one who was still screaming and finally acting like a kid his age. He was so lucky to have these two. Sirius remembered his conversation with Remus the night before.

Flashback

Sirius flooed to 12 Grimmauld Place and saw Remus already there.

"Sirius!" Remus got of the chair he was resting on.

"Where have you been! You just left the house without no note, no nothing and now return after two whole days! You know how worried I am?" Remus demanded.

"Really I got enough grey hairs Sirius. What is something happened to you? Are you-"

"Hey hey Moony I'm fine," Sirius interrupted Remus's furious rant.

"Really," Sirius gestured towards himself, "see no scratches. It was just an emergency in Hogwarts."

"What emergency?" Remus asked curiously now, satisfied that his friend/brother was alright.

"Er," Sirius said eloquently, looking everywhere but Remus's eyes.

"Padfoot," Remus started to get worried again, "What happened?"

"Well, hee hee, it's about Harry."

"Harry! What happened to Harry? Why is he in Hogwarts. Is he alright? What about Jace?" Remus fired of, becoming considerably more concerned at Sirius's reluctance to speak.

"He kinda died," said Sirius lamely.

"HE WHAT!" Remus cried.

"Stop repeating my words," Sirius said childishly.

"Sirius," Remus growled, his eyes flashing amber.

"Hey it's okay Moony. Harry is perfectly fine now." Sirius quickly explained the whole thing while trying to calm the angry wolf down. By the time he was finished, Remus had almost accomplished in turning into a full mad werewolf without the full moon and Sirius was running around on his canine legs barking at Remus to calm down quite literally.

"Moony," said Sirius exasperatedly turning back into a human and steering his friend to the couches.

"Lets. Go. Kill. Them. NOW!" Remus growled, marching towards the floo with a determined pace.

"MOONY!" Sirius dragged the angry werewolf onto the couch and put a full body-bind curse on him.

"Now is not the time for you to do something so stupid that would put you in Azkaban before you can say Quidditch."

"But-"

"Nah na you want what's best for Harry and Jace Moony, pull yourself back together. Do you want the boys to see you after the first time in two years as a ravaging mad wolf?"

After that Remus had calmed down into his usual unruffled figure, giving Sirius a sense of relief and that order was back to to the world. After all there couldn't be a world where Sirius gave therapy to werewolves and was a calm unruffled, handsome man. Could there?

"So how are they Sirius," Moony asked quietly.

"Well Jace has been wonderful, he loves his big brother and I believe he is very protective of him. Harry is still coping though, but he will never reach the height of kids his age even with magic."

"He'll hate that," Remus grinned a bit, remembering Harry when he was younger scowling and defending himself that he was not short to an older boy who was teasing him on one of Jace's birthday.

Sirius sighed, "Yeah he will. Oh and you should see him read, Merlin at first I thought he swallowed it…" And the two men continued talking about their boys throughout the night.

Flashback ended


Harry stood in Dumbledore's (call me Grandpa) office next to the floo. Fawkes, as soon as he'd seen Harry had perched on top of the boy's shoulder and happily began preening his feathers and then Harry's hair, much to the young boy's consternation. Remus (You can still call me Uncle Remus Harry), Sirius, and Grandpa were outside talking to each other.

They quickly came back in, Grandpa's eyes twinkled brightly at the sight of his bloody Phoenix and Harry. Sirius who was looking serious took one look at Harry and had cracked into a full blown grin. He began to choke, trying to hold in his laughter. Remus rolled his eyes, Jace was in his arms, asleep and drooling on the back of Remus's shirt.

Harry smirked at that sight and at Sirius choking.

"A problem dear godfather of mine," Harry asked looking very poise with a bird preening his head. Sirius started laughing and everyone followed after him.

After that, Grandpa went through the floo, then went Remus and Jace (after some debate they decided to bring Jace along, asking Severus to take care of the boy was too much like signing your death warrant), and then the last people left were Harry and Sirius.

Sirius looked worriedly at Harry, "You sure about this kiddo? You don't have to do it."

Harry stared at the floo, the green fire reflecting in his eyes. "I-," Harry shook his head and looked at Sirius, "I have to do it Sirius." And with that Harry rushed into the floo and disappeared before Sirius could go with him.

Harry fell flat onto the Manor's tile floors. "Harry," said Remus looking quizzically, "Where is Sirius?" Sirius at that moment appeared, landing gracefully without a whisper on on the floor, making Harry scowl as he was still sprawled on the ground. Sirius looked frantic and as soon as he saw Harry he lifted him up, "Harry! Why'd you go into the floo without me, what if you got lost somewhere. That's dangerous!"

"I'm sorry," Harry whispered morosely, staring at his feet, scolding himself for making Sirius worried again.

Sirius sighed, "Just don't do it again okay." Harry nodded. Sirius then grinned, "Hey look at that everyone. My godson flooed all by himself for the first time! Wait," Sirius looked at his godson, "It is your first time right?" Harry shook his head. Sirius and Remus's jaws fell open. "Alone?" Remus demanded. "Yes Uncle Remus," Harry said. "When and how?" Sirius asked at the same time Remus asked, "Why?"

"Well Lily was getting Jace ready to go to Diagan Alley to get something for him, and I asked if I could go and she said yes, so I went in the floo," Harry said simply, as if this made loads of sense.

Sirius's hands were in fists and Remus just growled, intent on finding the Potters, his hands gripping Jace tightly as he walked away.

Sirius however much he wanted to the same couldn't as Harry was staring at him fearfully, his emerald eyes wide.

"Harry?" Sirius asked softly, gently touching Harry's shoulder.

Harry burst into tears. Sirius taken aback, but recovered quickly, put his arms around his child.

"I'm I'm so sorry," Harry gasped in tears. "Are you super mad at me?"

"What?" Sirius looked astonished, "What? Harry child, no. I could never be mad at you little one." Sirius stroked his child's wild hair, kissing his head.

"Y-you're not?" Harry asked as he stopped crying.

"No child. I was just astonished that you managed to do it all by yourself. It's unheard of for a child as young as you to go by themselves into the floo. And to have heard you've done it before, even younger with no one taking care of you made be astonished. But I'm so proud of you Harry. I'm not mad at you."

"Ok," Harry said softly, "I'm sorry I made you worry Sirius."

"It's alright, it's not your fault." Sirius looked up to the sounds of someone nearing them. Albus looked weary and Remus came behind him, looking shock and something else. Guilt, Sirius thought. Jace just woke up, yawning and yanking Remus's long locks of brown hair into his mouth. "What happened?" Sirius asked. Remus shook his head warningly, glancing at Harry. Albus said, "Let's talk in my office shall we." "Wait, what about James and Lily?" Harry asked confused looking at all three of the adults. "Harry," Sirius said gently, realizing what might have happened. "Let's go." Harry looked at Sirius, and it looked like it dawned him too.

"No," Harry said shaking his head.

"Harry-"

"No. No." Harry ran away from him, his tiny legs seemed to guide him where to go. Gasping weakly, he reached the potions room. There he saw his parents lying as if they were dead on the floor. Harry reached them, his legs too weak, he collapsed next to his dead parents.

"No," Harry whispered in anguish. He felt Sirius put his hands on his shoulder, but Harry didn't acknowledge him. Harry laid a hand on his mother's, trying to will it to come, but no tears came out.


Hey guys! I had to write this chapter again because I accidently deleted it, so here it is. And thank you so much for your reviews, they made my day. Btw random question, do you guys think that Salazar Slytherin is a reincarnation of Loki and Godric Gryffindor, Thor. Oh yeah and who watched the new movie Thor: Ragnarok. (Hint: I did!):)
