Ch. 2: In Which Moony Arrives...
I'm sorry Moony, I messed up, they're gone, James and Lily are dead and its all my fault...
The words rang hallow in Remus's mind, it couldnt be...
I'm sorry Moony, I messed up, they're gone, James and Lily are dead and its all my fault...
I was supposed to be secret keeper as you may know, I don't know if James told you but it was my idea to switch to Peter. I thought they'd never suspect him... I can't believe I never suspected him, he's been acting so strange lately... I shouldn't have switched...
Something has to be done I can't just let him get away with it... but I've got Harry with me now and I can't just leave him...
I don't know what to do, I should contact Albus and explain things to him, but my heads so full of thoughts right now I feel like I might explode...
What should I do Moony? You've always been the smart one, what should I do?
-Padfoot
Remus reread the letter several times letting the words sink in... James and Lily gone.. Peter supposedly a traitor... and then...
I've got Harry with me now and I can't just leave him...
He had Harry... Harry was alive...
Remus broke down at that point, everything in the world had just shattered, it was all complete chaos... but somehow that little baby who'd been practically written off for dead before he was even born, was still alive. It was unfathomable...
It took a few more minutes for the tears to stop, but by the time had it had become clear what he needed to do, first he had to get over and keep Sirius from doing anything to brash, then he needed to get a full detailed account of what had happened... and then he needed to talk to Dumbledore...
The pain of loosing two of his best friends was smothered by the concern for Sirius and Harry's well being, he needed to move fast, he'd heard nothing about a change in Secret Keepers, which didn't bode well, either Sirius was telling the truth, in which case the young dark haired man was in serious danger.
Or he was lying, and it was up to Remus to bring him down and save Harry...
With these dark thoughts running through his head, Remus, grabbed up his wand and a coat, and walking out onto the fire escape he appearated towards Sirius cottage...
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sirius had begain his letter to Dumbledore already, but had found it imposible to stay sitting and had begain paceing the floor, pausing every now and then to run over and scratch out another line on the parchment.
Suddenly Harry started crying upstairs, Sirius froze, then hurring across the den he sprinted upstairs, and down the hall to the room he'd left the child in.
Harry was standing up in the crib, his tiny hands clinging to the top barr to hold him steady.
"Hey there kiddo! You awake?" cooed Sirius in that annoying tone
one always seems to get when talking to a baby.
The boy walked over and gently lefted the toddler from the crib.
Harry sniffled, "Mummy..."
Sirius flinched, "No baby sorry... no mummy..."
"Mummy." sobbed Harry burying his face in Sirius's red jumper, Sirius sat down on the bed and bounced the baby in his arms trying to calm him, he was so busy trying to get Harry to stop crying he nearly missed the sound of someone knocking on the door.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Remus had been expecting alot of things when he'd arrived, however a distraught looking Sirius opening the door while bouncing a crying Harry in his arms, wasn't one of them.
Sirius looked on the verge of tears, which was completely mind blowing as the young man never cried.
"What-" begain Remus.
"He's crying for Lily." said Sirius his voice strained, "He won't stop."
As if to prove the point a muffled, "Muuuummmm-yyyyy" issued from the small boy.
"Here let me.." said Remus holding his arms out, Sirius gently passed Harry over and let Remus inside, closing the door behind him.
Remus checked Harry over, there was a strange scar on the baby's head but other than that he was fine, his diper however was most certainly full.
"I don't suppose you have any clean ones?" asked Remus, Sirius dropped down into a chair hiding his face in his hands, Remus sighed and walked over to the writting desk, he noticed Sirus's wand was half buried beneath the mess and couldn't help but smile, the man probably had forgot he'd left it there...
Remus's eyes then slide to the note to Dumbledore, it was a more detailed account of how he'd convinced James and Lily to switch... Just seeing their names caused his heart to clench, Harry said "Mummy." again.
Shaking his head, Remus raised his wand and tranformed on of the inkstained pages into a diper, he then walked up into the den,
Sirius following him silently.
He laid Harry down on the sofa then and undid his diper, he then sent Sirius to get a wet cloth, and upon receiving it, cleaned the mess off the baby, and then put the fresh diper on him.
Harry had stopped crying and lay there silently looking up a the two men, he then said almost questioningly, "Mummy."
Sirius and Remus both sighed, Sirius walking away fretting with his hair, Rmeus lifted the baby onto his lap, "No, Moony."
"Mummy..." mumbled the baby, Remus smiled sadly, the small baby's vibrant green eyes kept fluttering open and shut, and a moment later the small pink mouth streched open in a cute yawn.
Sirius walked back over, watching as Harry's tiny hands fumbled with the buttons on Remus's shirt absently, the little boy yawned again, eyes once again fluttering, his long dark lashes falling on his cheeks which where colored a soft pink with exsaustion.
Sirius sat down beside his friend as he craddled the baby gently in his arms.
"What happened Sirius."
Sirius looked down at Harry, his eyes where closed, breath even with the rise and fall of his tiny chest, fast asleep.
"I thought it would be the perfect plan, I'd play the decoy, while Peter would actually be the secret keeper, Peter would disappear, go to a safe house, out of reach... It seemed flawless... except..."
"Except Peter was already under their control." finished Remus.
Sirius scowled, and nodded.
"We have to tell Albus..." said Remus his soft golden eyes looking sharply into Sirius's silver.
Sirius nodded, "I started a letter..."
"I noticed... Maybe it would be better to floo him and speak with him directly?"
Sirius looked hesitant, "Would he listen to me?"
Remus considered it for a minute, "I'll floo him, invite him over to explain, that way he can see Harry and know he's not hurt... why did you take Harry anyway?"
"Because leaving him in a colapsing house would have been stupid, besides I was afraid someone would show up to claim revange on Voldemort." snorted Sirius durvishly.
"So he's really dead then, Voldemorts really gone." asked Remus tensely.
"Unless he knows how to resurect himself." Sirius replied, suddenly looking worn out.
"I can't believe they're gone..."
Remus bit his bottem lip.

The silence had been profound, not uncomfertable or stiffling...
The two had sat for the longest time, until the sun came up, the picture windows sat on the west side of the house, so the light wasn't direct, but just bright enough to make itself known.
Harry slept on peacefully, unawear of the change from night to day, Sirius had finally got up and walked upstairs, returning a moment latter pulling the crib down.
"Forgot where I left my wand..." muttered the young man.
"Its on the desk under some paper, its halfways stuck out." said Remus carrying Harry over and laying him down on his side in the crib.
"Thanks Moony..." Sirius said softly, then he sighed, "Should we Floo Albus now?"
Remus nodded and walked back over to the fireplace, muttering an incendio charm on the logs, he then reached into a silver bucket that sat on the harth, filled with emerald green Floo powder.
Taking a handful he tossed it into the fire and said, "Albus Dumbledore's Office."
Sticking his head in he tried to ignore the uncomfertable spinning, and breathed a sigh of relief when it stopped and the headmaster came into veiw.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Albus Dumbledore was quite surprised to see the fire in the harth suddenly burst to life and Remus Lupin's face appeare.
The old headmaster had been trying to consol, Minerva McGonagall, over the loss of the Potter's espeacially young Harry.
Remus looked up uncomfertably, a smudge of soot covering his nose, "Good morning Headmaster. Professor."
"Hello Remus... I dare say it isn't that good of a morning though..." said Albus soberly.
The young werewolf paused, "No it isn't really... Look I was hoping to talk to you about Sirius and Harry-"
Albus jumped to his feet, "Sirius Black and Harry Potter! Remus do you know where they are?!"
"Er... Yes? There here." said Remus unsurely, he eyed the headmaster weirily, "I take it James and Lily didn't inform you of the switch then?"
"Switch? Remus what has Sirius been telling you?" asked the headmaster worriedly, the young man looked confused, a symptom of the Confudus Curse.
"Listen Albus we'll explain everything, could you come over, Sirius just wants you to hear him out okay?" Remus pleaded gently.
Albus sighed, "Okay Remus, where are you, and where's Harry? Is he okay?"
"We're at Sirius's cottage: The Light House, you can Floo in, and Harry's here he's fine, sleeping infact, Sirius brought him here last night to keep him safe."
The old headmaster nodded.
"I'll get out of the way so you can come through now." said Remus and with a pop he was gone.
"What do you think Albus?" asked McGonagall anxiously.
"I hounestly don't know Minerva, I was never informed of any switch..." sighed Dumbledore, the lines on his face creased with worry.
"We'll just have to see when we get there."
