Greg saw his son and daughter-in-law arrive. He went to greet them. "What is going on?" He asked.
Frank and Alice looked worn out. Alice smiled at Greg. She was glad to be home. "We went to the Potter's home. Three Death Eaters met us there but, one left. Bellatrix and Rod put up a fight" Alice said.
Greg nodded at that. He knew the war was over but, Death Eaters weren't going to come quietly. Greg lead them inside were Augusta was sitting on the couch. She was thrilled to see them. Augusta was worried. "Did you hear the news Bellatrix and Rod got a life sentence in Azkaban. It was just on the wireless" said Augusta.
"No we just got home" Frank replied sinking in a chair.
"Well, Moody took them in and they were sentenced right there on the spot. They caught Rabastan as well. Crouch's son was with him" Augusta said.
Frank and Alice couldn't believe it. Augusta and Greg said goodnight. They left and the two went to bed. Over the next two weeks Frank waited for Moody to get done with the will. Moody came by the house one day. "I have good news. The will is really Lily and James. The Goblins looked it over. Harry was to be left with you if Sirius couldn't raise him. They left Harry all their money. I talked to Fudge about letting Sirius out and he said it would be OK. The will also stated they had changed secret keepers" Moody said.
Alice wondered who Harry would live with. "Do we still get to raise Harry?" Frank asked.
The boys were playing on the floor. Alice was watching Harry and Neville play. They had become close lately. "Yes as soon as Sirius got out. I took him to Dumbledore. We talked it over and Harry would be better off with you. Sirius agrees. He wants to help raise Harry but, Harry will be in your care" Alastor said.
Alice sigh with relieve as did Frank. They didn't want to lose Harry. "When can we see Sirius?" Alice asked.
She wanted Harry to see his god-father as soon as he could. Alastor smiled. "Soon Remus and him are talking right now. They have a lot to work out" Alastor said.
Alastor headed for the door. He said what he had too plus he had to get work or he would be late. Frank got up and followed him. "Thank you Alastor" Frank said.
The next day Sirius and Remus came over. Sirius knocked on the door. Alice answered with Neville in her arms and Harry by her side. Harry went nuts. He held his arms out for Sirius. Sirius picked him up after Alice nodded. "Sorry for the early call but, Sirius couldn't wait" Remus spoke.
"It's alright. Frank left for work already and the boys have been fed. So you can come in" Alice said.
Sirius tossed Harry up in the air and would catch him as he would come back down. Harry would scream with delight as Sirius did this. "Well, Remus is telling the truth. I couldn't wait. I knew Harry would want to see me sooner rather than later" Sirius said.
Alice thought he is only one. It would be hard to explain to him what's going on and it's not like he missed you that much. Harry was getting use to his new life. "Sirius, he is only one. Sure he missed you but, he has gotten used to his new life" Alice said.
Seeing the look on Sirius face, Alice added "I am glad that you are here though."
Sirius beamed at that. Remus held his arms out for Neville, who went to him. They all sat down. "We thought we would just stay for a few minutes. We have some stuff to do. If it's all right with you we want to take Harry and Neville with us" Remus said.
Alice thought it over. Sure she trusted Remus but, Sirius was a different story. Alice knew he was good with Harry but, leaving her son with him was a different story. "What were you going to do?" Alice asked.
"We were going shopping. Sirius wanted to get a room set up for Harry in case he stayed with us" Remus said.
"Ok that's fine. You can take them. I need to get some work done around here. Frank hasn't been much help since he has been working late hours this past week" Alice said.
"So it's true. They don't believe Voldemort is dead" Sirius said.
Sirius had read the paper and saw the article in it. It made him angry. Why couldn't people be happy for once. "Well, some people don't believe he is dead. Fudge thinks he is. Plus it is hard rounding up the Death Eaters. But you didn't hear any of this from me" said Alice.
They smiled at her as they got up to leave. Alice cleaned the house while they were away. Sirius and Remus had fun. They hated to return the boys. "Alice we are back" said Remus.
