Albus Dumbledore was having a late night cup of tea in his office when he felt the wards surrounding Godric’s Hallow fall. Looking up quickly he grabbed the magical sphere he had created to monitor the Potter’s safe house from his desk. Upon seeing that there had been no tampering with the orb it only meant one thing. James and Lily Potter were dead. Standing dread began to fill him. He shook his wand out of its holster into his hand and quickly cast a patronuses. He sent it to Sirius Black to make his way to the Potter’s something had happened. Having finished he vanished in a swirl of robes to Godric’s Hallow.

            Sirius Black was asleep curled up to his lover when they were awoken by a screeching sound above him. Looking up he saw Albus’ familiar phoenix patronus.
            “Sirius the wards have fallen. The orb is intact. Hurry.” Once the message was finished the phoenix vanished in the air.
            “REMY! REMY GET UP!”
            “Whaa??” Remus rolled over. The first thing he saw was Sirius running about the room throwing clothes on. “What’s going on?”
            “James and Lily..They…Remy I think they’re dead.” Sirius had this lost panicked look in his eyes when he turned back to Remus.
            “Siri calm down you don’t know that,” Remus replied getting up and grabbing clothes of his own.
            “Albus sent a message. I have to go. I love you stay here I’ll be back soon.” And with that Sirius had disapperated. Remus looked down and shook his head this wasn’t going to end soon. Grabbing his wand he dragged himself over to his fireplace. Activating the floo he called out Malfoy Manor and vanished in a swirl of green flames.
            Upon landing he stepped out of the floo. “Mopsy.”
            “Yes Master Lupin sir,” questioned the elf that popped into the room.
            “Grab Lord Malfoy and Master Snape please. And quickly Mopsy it’s of utter importance.”
            “Yes sir right away sir!” it was only minutes after Mopsy had popped out that Severus and Lucius appeared in the sitting room.
            “What’s going on Remus,” Lucius yawned out.
            “You both need to get to Godric’s Hallow. Albus sent Sirius a message that the wards have fallen. He’s going to do something stupid if Peter’s there. You know he will.” Remus looked between the two men before him.
            Faces filling with dread Severus ran a hand over his face while Lucius called for Mopsy to let Narcissa know he’d be gone awhile and not to worry. After telling Remus he’s welcome to stay they strode towards the front door and out the house. Once on the grounds the two disappeared into the night air.

            Upon landing in Godric’s Hallow they were greeted with the sight of flames in the front yard spreading towards the Potter’s house. Up the road they could see Sirius running after a figure. “Severus grab Black I’ll take care of the fire.”
            “My pleasure.” Turning Severus flicked his wand in the direction of black summoning the man’s wand before firing another curse of at Pettigrew forcing him out of his rat animagus form. Striding forward Severus proceeded to throw a binding hex at Pettigrew. Seeing him drop to the ground and struggling he preceded to fire off a body bind curse as well. By that point Sirius had realized his wand was gone and that Severus was there.
            “He sold them out! HE sold out Lily and James! His best mates! I told James he couldn’t be trusted. Yet Albus assured us Peter would be fine. That he was a safe choice! Safe my arse!”
            “Sirius calm down. If Harry is still alive he’s going to need you. Take a breath and call in your new partner.” Severus tried to reason. “You need to think of little Harry. He’s going to need you Black, him and Remus. You can’t risk that.”
            Nodding his head Sirius saw the point. No matter how much he wanted to Avada Peter Harry needed him. Reaching his arm out he opened his hand up to accept his wand back. Severus handed it back over and Sirius quickly ripped two spots of Peter’s clothing off before transfiguring them into pen and parchment. From there he charmed the message to send to his partner Rufus. He had been partnered up with Rufus Scrimgeour when James had gone into hiding.
            “SEVERUS!”
Both men turned hearing the shout from Lucius. The man was striding down the front walk with a bundle in his arms. They could see he had been successful at putting the fire out. Upon nearing closer he exclaimed, “Harry lived. James and Lily didn’t make it, but Harry did.”
Reaching his arms out Sirius took the little baby from Lucius’ arms. “Hey there little man. I’m here and you’re perfectly safe. How do you feel about Uncle Siri being your new dad hm?” Sirius continued to cuddle the bundle close to him.
“Have the aurors been contacted?”
“Yes. Once I had Black calmed down I got him to contact Rufus. He’s neutral and trustworthy. He should hopefully be here soon. We might as well drag the rat back to the house with us. It’s not smart to be out here where the muggles can see us.”
“I agree. Sirius let’s head back to the house. We’ll grab Pettigrew you bring Harry okay? We need to secure the perimeter as well.”
The trio started the walk back towards the house. They had just reached the front gate when there was three cracks signaling arriving people. Turning around the men were greeted by the sight of Rufus, Albus and some lower division auror named Travis Rogers. They could tell by the look on Albus’ face that we was less than thrilled with Rufus accompanying them and his mood had soured further seeing Severus and Lucius with Sirius.
“Gentlemen.”
“Rufus,” Sirius responded tipping his head to the man. “Pettigrew here is bound and ready for you. You might want to take Albus as well. He was the one who said Peter could be trusted.”
“Rogers bind him. Sorry Albus but we have to question you, it’s procedure you understand.”
Albus Dumbledore most certainly didn’t understand. However he left himself be bound quietly knowing it would make him look good to those who were there. He had had his suspicions that Peter had been in line with the Dark Lord. This was one of those rare times in his life where he actually felt mildly conflicted. On the one hand he had hoped that by being given an important job Peter would stay with the light. On the other he wanted Peter to lead Voldemort to the Potters to throw the plans in motion. Albus knew he’d have to think smart and fast to keep himself in the clear.
“Albus Dumbledore you are under arrest pending investigation into the murders of James and Lily Potter,” Rogers rattled off as he bound the man’s hands and confiscated his wand. “I will be escorting you to a holding cell in the ministry, before you get transferred to an interview room. From there you will either be tried or sent free. You may contact a lawyer if you believe it necessary or we can get you a civil attorney if you have none of your own.”
Rogers proceeded to lead Dumbledore away while levitating a frozen Peter Pettigrew behind him. “I’ll meet up with you back at the ministry Rufus.”
“Got it Travis. I’ll secure the area and check things out here before reporting back.” With those parting words Rogers lead the other two away while Rufus continued to follow the other three men up to the door. “So is Harry…”
“Harry is still alive. I’ve got him right here. I don’t know how he’s sleeping through all this,” Sirius replied slightly lifting the baby in his arms towards Rufus.
“Good I’m glad he is. Do any of you know why exactly the Potter’s were attacked or were in hiding for that matter?”
“James had been propositioned by the Dark Lord a month before they left. He had turned him down again and you know HE wasn’t exactly thrilled with James decision. Said if they didn’t join he’d go after them. Well Albus came to warn James that some premonition had been made concerning that monster and someone else. He relayed that he believes a spy of HIS heard and relayed what ever it was that was heard to and the Potters were now targets and should go into hiding.”
“I’ll need to view your memories of this Severus. Lucius do you have their wills?”
“Yes. Locked up safe in our firm. I wanted to make sure that they couldn’t be tampered with.”
“Good. Good. We’ll I’m just going to gather any evidence and send for the coroner then you guys can pack up and head home. I’m allowing Sirius custody of young Harry here. He’ll go to him anyway so it makes sense to stay with Sirius while in auror custody.”
“Thank you Rufus. Just let me know when the rooms are clear and we’ll start the elves on packing.”
Sirius handed Harry off to Severus and joined Rufus in coaming over the first floor of the house before moving up to the second level. Sirius froze when it came time for the nursery. Thankfully Rufus said he could handle that room by himself. Having the bottom of the house finished Lucius called his elves as well as Severus’ and Sirius’ to start packing all the valuables and to put all furniture non baby related into storage of the Potter’s vaults at Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
The coroner came and after going over the bodies for initial findings he whisked them off for autopsy and the morgue. The men then directed the elves to finish packing the upstairs of the house while they worked on the nursery. Having finished packing up the house Rufus left to head back to the ministry while the rest of the men floo’d to Grimwauld Place.
Remus hadn’t been able to stop pacing since arriving back home. It had been hours and he had no idea where any of them where. When they finally walked through the door it felt like his heart had stopped. He was almost sure it did when he saw Sirius carrying a bundle in his arms of what he new was Harry. It had been a long night of setting up the adjoining room to theirs as a nursery and filled with lots of tears. They had lost two of their closest friends and Harry had lots his parents but they would make sure he was protected and never without love.

With the capture of Pettigrew the aurors were able to raid the manor that Voldemort was staying in as well as filter out the moles in the ministry. Most of the Death Eaters captured were tried and sentenced to The Kiss or life in Azkaban while some had their magic restrained for being indirectly involved due to threats or curses and potions. Peter was Kissed only five hours after his capture. Albus Dumbledore was released but on ministry watch. Two days after the incident the wills of Lily and James Potter were read. Primary custody of Harry was left to Sirius and Remus and secondary custody was left to Severus while all legal problems were to be taken care of by Lucius. At the end of the week were the burials for Lily and James who had been laid to rest in the small cemetery of Godric’s Hallow.
The weeks passed quickly with Harry living with them. His scar eventually healed leaving behind a white barely raised scar in the shape of a lightening bolt on his forehead. Time moved ahead slowly and the Wizarding World went into a time of peace. Voldemort hadn’t been found since that night but the search was still on and would stay that way until prove of his demise was found.
Sirius and Remus got married when Harry the May before Harry turned three. They had him as the ring bear in their ceremony. He was loved completely by his Daddy and Papa. By the time Harry was four he was having regular play dates with Lucius’ son Draco, Andromeda Tonks (Narcissa’s sister) daughter as well as the Weasley’s children and various other families such as the Zabinis and Parkinsons. The adults made sure the children were not only educated in all the proper wizard ways but knowledgeable of muggles as well.
It wasn’t until Harry’s seventh birthday that he started asking questions about his parents and what happened the night they died. Sirius and Remus had to decide then how much of the truth they should reveal to their son. Pulling Harry into his lap Sirius looked at him and told him that they would tell him some of it now but other parts would have to wait until he was older. After seeing his nod of agreement they went into the basics of why his family had been targeted.
They lived eleven peaceful years. Then Harry received his Hogwarts letter.
