A problem shared

"HE WHAT!" Shouted Sirius as jumped up from the armchair with fire in his eyes and starred at his friends with a mixture of frustration and disbelief. At this point Harry had dozed off unknown to his father or godfather.

"Shh Sirius." Said Lily calmly and barely audible." Harry has fallen asleep and I really don't want him disturbed after everything he has been through over the last few hours." James then rose from his seat and placed Harry on Lilys lap. He walked over to Sirius and placed his hands firmly on his friends shoulders and looked him directly into the eyes. Sirius and James were of the same height.

"Sirius mate calm down okay?" said James quietly.

"James your son ,my godson was nearly killed tonight and you want me to CALM DOWN?" shouted Sirius. Lilly then got up and walked over to them with Harry securely in her arms and said gently but firmly to them.

"Sirius. If you really care about Harry you will keep your voice down and show some sort of compassion for him. He has just fallen asleep for god sake! I think he is at least entitled to that much since he was deprived of that tonight don't you agree Sirius?" questioned Lily, her anger evident in her tone of voice and her emerald green eyes glaring right into Sirius chocolate brown ones. James stood beside his friend with an amused expression on his face at his wifes sudden out burst. Whenever Lily got frustrated nobody would dare retaliate especially the maurders.

" Okay. I'm sorry Lily. Just cannot believe that Peter would betray us like that." Replied Sirius calmly. They all looked at each other for a few seconds before James interrupted and said " I guess at times like this you know who your real friends are." He smiled sadly at both Lily and Sirius and looked down at the carpet which even though was cola brown had evident coffee stains on it.

"So what are we going to do now? I presume you want to track down Peter.Right? Asked Sirius anxiously after receiving hesitant glances from his friends.

"Well actually Sirius we were going to go and see Dumbledore tomorrow morning and tell him everything." Said James cautiously

Sirius started pacing the sitting room running his hands through shoulder length curly black hair. When he reached the entrance of the kitchen witch was joined on to the sitting room he turned round to face his friends. His left arm was folded across his chest and his right was massaging the centre of his forehead. Lily was sitting back down on the couch with Harry while James had his left knee resting on the armchair Sirius was sitting on with his left hand on the back of the chair. Lily was looking down at Harry sleeping while James was watching Sirius pace the room anxiously.

" Prongs what's happened to ya mate?" asked Sirius perplexed

" What do you mean Padfoot?" inquired James with his brow furrowed.

"There was a time when you would teach anyone who crossed a maurader a lesson even if it was one of our one. I know we didn't hex Snape as often after you started going out Lily but James Peter betrayed us mate. He betrayed us! And your just gona let him off the hook? It seems to me as though you're condoning his treachery." Concluded Sirius. James walked over to Sirius, looked him directly in the eyeand said calmly " I hate him Sirius."

"Me too mate so lets go after him" replied Sirius in a determined tone.

" No" said James firmly but with a tone anger. "There is more than one way to skin a cat Sirius." James continued after seeing Sirius confused expression.

"What I mean is that we can still make that foul,back stabbing perpetrator suffer without you getting caught in the cross fire. Have you forgotten that the ministry still think that you are our secret keeper?" Sirius shook his head. " Well first thing tomorrow morning all the real mauraders and Lily are going to see Dumbledore and sort out this mess ok? Then the ministry will locate the rat and make him suffer like he has never suffered before mate!" declared James triumphantly. They both grinned at each other and shouted "ALRIGHT MY SON!" and slapped each other a high five. Lily rolled her eyes and smiled at their antics from the couch. She then approached both of them and intervened their reminiscent chatter by clearing her throat.

"Yea Lils what's up?" asked Sirius happily with the out come of events. "Well Sirius what I was going to propose was that….." Sirius interrupted her. "But Lil I can't marry you darling coz you are already married you see and now it wouldn't really be fair to poor ole Jamsie here now would it love?" Sirius grinned at her and received a belt across the arm from her. "No you tool! What I meant was that we should get to bed if we are getting up early in the morning. It is already one o clock in the morning and..."

"Right you are Lillian." Replied Sirius in a self righteous tone. "you and James can take the spare room or do you guys want to take my bed? The spare room has only got two singles." explained Sirius. "Ah no mate your fine but Harry will have to bunk with you if that's the case." Replied James. Sirius grinned stupidly at both of them and they both smiled back warmly. "Well I don't have any issues with my little godson staying with me. If you both don't have a problem with it."Replied Sirius glancing at both of them. "No of course not" said Lily and handed Harry to Sirius who enveloped his sleeping godson in his arms and smiled down at his sleeping form softly.

"Right well we will see you in the morning Sirius." Said Lily interrupting the tranquillity of the moment as James grabbed their bag of clothes over by the hearth.

"Okay." Came Sirius voice still looking down at Harry and smiling to himself.

"Hello. Earth to Sirius." Came the voice of James. Sirius looked up at him.

"Sorry mate. What were you saying?" he inquired

James half laughed and shook his head and said "What I was saying was to go and get some sleep coz we got a lot to do tomorrow. So we will floo to Remus at 9:00 in the morning ok?" asked James. "Ya sure mate. Goodnight guys." Said Sirius as he turned to leave for his room. James reached out his hand for Lily to take it. She accepted it with a smile in exchange for one from him. Just as they were about to enter the room they heard Sirius call after them.

"Hey Ja, Lil! Thanks for letting me take Harry tonight." He finished with a smile.

They smiled back at him "No problem." They replied in unison.

Then they went into their bedrooms. Sirius jumped in to his warm bed with Harry clutched tightly against him as he was lying on his side and pulled the duvet up to cover both of them "Well Harry tomorrow is the day that your mom and dad make the perpetrator suffer for crossing them and making you the most well known kid in the world with a little help from your godfather and uncle Remus of course. Don t worry mate. I promise we will find that slimy warped treacherous spineless little git and make him pay! I will always be here for you Harry. Make no mistake about that!"

James and Lily had gotten changed into their pyjamas. "Well at least this time we won't wake up in the front lawn." Said James and they both laughed a little.

He reached over and kissed her tenderly. "Goodnight Lils." Said James with a smile.

"Goodnight James." Replied Lily with a smile and they both climbed into their own beds. "Goodnight Harry." Said Sirius as he kissed the top of his top head and pulled him closer to him.
