Sirius and Moria knocked lightly on the door of Godric's Hollow being sure to make sure no one was following them to visit the new family. To them it didn't really matter if they searched around. No one could see the house. Minutes later James answered the door. Bags were evident under his eyes and he looked like he hadn't slept in a good day.

"Uh…hi?"

"Hi…Sorry Harry's been crying all day." James said trying to stifle a yawn but ultimately failing.

"Really?" Moria asked.

"Yeah. We've bathed him, fed him, tried to get him to take a nap, but nothing seems to be working."

"Have you tried singing to him?" Sirius joked and James grimaced.

"We tried…but I sound like I've swallowed marbles and Lily sounds like a banshee. It just made him cry harder." James said. Seconds later Lily had come down the stairs looking just as tired as James. Harry was in her arms, wailing loudly, wrapped in the quilt Lily had made during the pregnancy. Sirius flinched slightly. Moria sighed before outstretching her arms.

"I'll try to sing to him." She said.

"But-"

"Do you want to have a chance to relax?" Moria asked. Lily and James looked at each other before Lily handed the squirming, shrieking infant to her. The change in arms obviously upset him even more as he began to cry louder. With that, Moria scooted away slightly from the group of adults, rocking Harry slightly. She began to hum which quieted Harry slightly. He looked up at him and to her surprise saw his eyes had already started to change to a green color.

"So…he'll have Lily's eyes." She thought pleasantly before beginning to sing.

"Dancing bears,
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December"


Sirius stared at her. He had heard her hum softly herself, maybe sing a few lyrics of a song, but in all honesty hadn't known she knew any lullabies. Harry whimpered again but Moria offered him her index finger which his hand grasped.

"Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory..."


Harry slowly quieted, to his parent's amazement, however his eyes still shone brightly with readied tears, prepared to start crying again.

"Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Once upon a December"


Harry yawned, the three days of nearly nonstop crying and 30 minute nap intervals finally catching up to him.

"Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory..."


Harry's eyes slowly closed and his breathing relaxed. Moria smiled.

"And a song someone sings
Once upon a December."


She finished and looked up at the three shocked adults.

"What?"

"You…you managed to get him to sleep." Lily answered a twinge of jealousy in her voice. Moria blinked in confusion and then her brows furrowed.

"Really, it was just luck. He was about to fall asleep." Moria explained, a small smile on her face. "He's given up his fight to stay awake and make your lives hard." She joked. "My aunt and uncles told me that the same happen to my parents and me. But Harry wasn't as long as me. I lasted two weeks." Moria added with a soft smile on her face handed Harry back to Lily. The sleeping baby merely shifted, but didn't awaken

"He's adorable Lily." Moria stated and Lily's face was a soft red hue and a small smile was plastered on her face.

"He looks like you Prongs." Sirius added, glancing at the infant. "Poor thing."

"Oi."

"Not quite. He has a redeeming quality. He has Lily's eyes." Moria joked and Sirius chuckled. He glanced at her, noting how soft her face was…and he realized how much she loved children. He also realized another thing that he needed to do.

And that was to get her to marry him.


Sirius and James watched as Moria and Lily spoiled the now awake (and generally happier) Harry.

"When are you going to propose to Moria, Padfoot?" James asked looking at Sirius with an all knowing smirk. Sirius's face turned red.

"Soon."

"Really?" James asked, incredulous. Sirius offered him a glare.

"Why does that sound so shocking?"

"Well it's been about four years since you and her started dated. And if we compare her to Alice and Lily who were married after about a year of dating, you're about three years late. Like I said a few weeks ago. You're slow." James joked. Sirius grumbled.

"But yes…I'll be asking her to marry me soon." Sirius said. When he had no clue. But he would soon.

Soon.


Moria glanced around as a sudden uneasiness filtered into her system. She didn't understand why, though. She was at Mungo's. Lily was at her home. James and Sirius were on a mission. Maybe that was why she was nervous. But Sirius had gone on missions before, so why…

"INCOMING!" A voice boomed over the speaker directly overhead her, causing her to jump and nearly drop all the files she had been carrying. She hated that damn speaker thing. All a head healer had to do was press their wand to their throat and their voice would travel throughout the hospital. While it was useful, she hated that damn thing with a-

When the figures emerged from the floo, they were carrying a man that was barely conscious, leaning heavily on his partner, blood staining the tiled floor. Moria at first just stared dumbly as several other healers rushed over, grabbing the unconscious man and hoisted him onto a stretcher. He was staring through barely opened eyes, his blood staining the pillow. This time she made no effort to catch the folders that dropped from her hands, falling to the ground with a clatter as her eyes widened and her heart shot to her throat as her gaze shifted to the man standing there, almost comically, drenched in blood. He looked like he was about to follow his partner.

"Sirius?" She murmured as she saw his face, streaked in blood. He offered a weary smile, before he began to tip forward, his legs finally giving out. She barely managed to catch him, and just started yelling his name. His vision darkened, and the last image he caught was of Moria, her eyes wide in fear.


He was slow to awaken. His body was in pain, and he felt like he had been thrown into a wall. Which he had…several times. Slowly he blinked awake, shifting his head to try and remove the throbbing sensation.

"You're an idiot, you know that? A hypocritical idiot."

He forced his head to rise and blinked at Chelsea, who looked more annoyed than relieved of his awakening. He forced back a chuckle, not wanting to earn a smack to the head. She glared at him.

"What were you trying to do? Give Moria a heart attack for what happened a few months ago?" She hissed out. Sirius frowned, forcing himself to sit up.

"It wasn't like I planned on being ambushed." He argued. "…what about Benson?"

"He's still in recovery. It will be touch and go for a little while, but he should pull through." Chelsea responded, before pointing to his left. "She, however, has been a nervous wreck since you got here. Though she hasn't been showing it."

Sirius glanced to his left and spotted Moria, asleep in a chair next to him. He then looked at Chelsea in confusion. "How do you know she's been a nervous wreck?"

"Well considering it isn't normal for her to blackmail our Head Healer just so she can stay with you, I'm pretty sure you scared her." Chelsea remarked. He held back a laugh, knowing it wasn't really appropriate. She sighed. "I'll let you wake her up, so she can yell at you for being stupid."

"Hey-" He began to argue, but she had already left. Silence greeted him and he hesitated, before reaching over, ignoring the creaking in his muscles and pushed Moria's hair back a bit. She awoke with a start, blinking rapidly. He offered a smile as she stared at him. "Hey, Love."

He yelped when she smacked him on the head.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" She hissed out angrily. He rubbed his head.

"I was thinking that since I'm injured, I wouldn't gain another headache." He argued. However the rest of his argument died when he noticed her roughly brushing a hand under her eyes. "Did I scare you that badly?"

"Of course you did! You were covered in blood and you collapsed onto the ground! I thought you had stopped breathing." She hissed out. "With the amount of hexes that were still on you it's a miracle you didn't." She added, her voice rough as though she was fighting back tears. He frowned and sat up a bit further, cupping her cheek. She leaned into his touch.

"I'm sorry."

She still should have been angry. Hell, after the worry about whether or not he was going to survive, and arguing with her higher-ups which would most likely cause her to be at least suspended for a little bit, she had every right to be angry. But that simple apology seemed to quell her anger. "You idiot. Don't scare me like that." He let out a bark-like laugh and kissed her forehead.

"I'll try not to. But it's my job."

"To nearly die?" She asked dryly.

"Love, being an auror is dangerous work." He explained. "You know that. But I'll always be careful…I want to come back to you." He added. Her face grew red and she made several sputtering sounds. He merely grinned, kissing her gently, to which she responded almost immediately. They parted when the both heard footsteps coming down the corridor, moving away just in time as several other healers entered.


"Stop throwing the damn apple." Moria chastised as she grabbed the apple in the air that Sirius had been tossing as he lay in his hospital bed. As she had expected, they had ordered him to spend the night at Mungo's. Somehow Moria had managed to convince them to let her stay there with him as long as she didn't cause trouble, share a room, under the promise that she would be on his best behavior. But now he was bored and pushing her last nerve.

"Apples are for eating, Sirius. Not for throwing" Moria reprimanded placing the apple on nightstand. "Look if you want something to eat how about a mel-!" she began to say but then felt a chill on the back of her legs and looked over her shoulder to see that Sirius had lifted up her skirt and was looking under it.

"SIRIUS!"

A few minutes later James and Lily walked in to see Moria had now jammed a pillow over Sirius's face and they could clearly see Sirius's limbs flailing at the sides.

"Uh…should we leave you two alone?" James asked as Moria looked up before removing the pillow. Sirius coughed loudly sitting up.

"You tried to smother me!" he accused glaring at Moria who looked indifferent but still grinned.

"I wasn't going to smother you to death. Just long enough to pass out…pervert." She scolded.

"I was bored!" he argued.

"Then do something that doesn't involve looking up my skirt. If you did that to Lily, James would have decked you. Injured or not." She said and James snorted while Lily rubbed her forehead.

"When are you two going to mature?" She grumbled and the two looked at each other and then at her.

"Where's the fun in that?" They asked simultaneously and Lily groaned before looking at Sirius.

"How are you?" she asked concern evident in her voice. Sirius offered a bright grin.

"I'm fine. Honest Lil." He stated. "I have an excellent healer…who smother's me with love."

That did it; James who had been trying so hard not to laugh began chocking. Lily's face became red and Moria began shaking, before all four began to laugh loudly.


"You want me to do…what?" Chelsea asked, looking at Bryn who was tickling Geoffrey. The little boy laughed, wiggling around in his mother's grip.

"Your mother works…or worked…at the Ministry right?"

"Well yeah…but I don't see why…I mean…do you feel like you're being followed?" Chelsea asked, sitting down at the table. "If that's the case, why don't you tell Remus?"

"It's not that I feel like I'm being followed." Bryn replied, shaking her head. "It's just…if something did happen to me…" She trailed off looking at Geoffrey, who seemed utterly clueless about what they were talking about. Hopefully he was. "I'd want him safe."

"So you want my Mum researching for…"

"Your Mum is the muggle equivalent of a lawyer in Wizengamot." She responded. "So she understands the laws. And you know full well that if I do die, they won't let Remus keep him unless there is a loophole in those damn laws that they made against werewolves."

"So you want to make sure that there isn't something that will stop Remus from being his legal guardian?" Chelsea questioned. Bryn nodded. "But what if there isn't any loophole?" Chelsea asked. Bryn frowned, glancing at Geoffrey.

"I don't know."

Chelsea stared at her best friend and then sighed.

"Alright. I'll go ask her. I bet she'll be willing to do it." She commented. Bryn smiled gratefully while Chelsea laughed.

Me true I've never thought about it that werewolf is a problem to be legal parent.
