Chapter One: Harry

.

"Give him here, Sirius," Hagrid said sternly. "Dumbledore ordered me to take Harry to his relatives."

Sirius clutched baby Harry to his chest. "He's my godson. Lily and James...they wanted me to care for him in case, in case anything...anything happened." He cast a mournful look at the smoking house.

Hagrid sighed. "I'd take it up with Dumbledore if I were you."

Sirius nodded. "Right, well, I'd better get Harry and myself over to Hogwarts then." He hopped up onto his prized motorbike before casting enchantments to ensure that Harry would not fall off on the ride over to Hogwarts. "See you later, Hagrid."

"Night, Sirius."

.

"You are under arrest."

Sirius blinked in surprise at the two wands pointed at his face. He pulled Harry closer to him and frowned. "For what? Kidnapping my godson? Because I didn't! Lily and, Lily and James named me godfather! It's my right to take care of Harry. Sure, Moony, you might have to help a little. Okay, a lot, but that's besides the point."

Remus Lupin glared at him. "You betrayed them! You have no right to Harry! You were the secret keeper, Sirius! James and Lily are dead because of you!"

Sirius flinched, stung. "I wasn't the secret keeper," he said quietly. "But you're right. It was my fault. I told James that I was the obvious choice. The Death Eaters were targeting me more and more, so I figured if I was captured and tortured for their location, I'd be unable to give it to them. So we switched to Peter."

Remus dropped his wand in shock. "Peter?" Then he cast a determine look towards his fallen wand. "Well," he said matter-of-factly. "Well, Peter must be dealt with of course. I would rather it be sooner rather than later."

Dumbledore nodded calculatingly. "I suppose so, Remus. I dare say, you two ought to fix up a house for yourselves and young Harry. If you want to check the house for anything salvageable, you should do so before the muggle authorities swarm the place."

.

"Anything?" Sirius asked hopefully.

Remus shook his head. "Nothing important. Just their wands, and those'll be buried with them. Diaries, journals, jewelry, photos, all that was put in the vault."

"There's one photo James never would have put in the vault," Sirius muttered. "It has to be in there, Remus. He swore to keep it in the house forever." Sirius handed baby Harry to Remus and started digging through the master bedroom. What was left of the master that is. "It's special. It's James and I in the common room. The first day we can to Hogwarts. We enchanted it, Remus."

"That's the problem then," Remus said sorrowfully. "James also enchanted it. Those enchantments are gone."

Sirius collapsed onto the rubble. "Let's just go back to my place," he whispered.

A/N: Sorry if it was a bit rushed. I wasn't quite sure how to end it and this is what happened. The rest of the chapters should be better written.
