James' POV

   I wake up to Lily gone from the bed. I thought nothing of it and got up and went to the bathroom. When I got out, I heard muttering from next door, so I went to go see who it was.

   When I got out of the room, I realized it was coming from Harry's room. I open the door to see Harry, curled up on the bed, with red eyes and tears streaming down his face.

   I go further into the room and grab a chair from the desk and sit next to him. "Harry, it's OK. What happened?"

   He looked up with relief and came up to me. "Da, y-you won't leave, will you?"

   I frowned. "Of course not Prongslet. I'll be right here with you."

   Harry shook his head. "No, I mean, leave me alone. No one to watch me. I have to go back to the Dursleys' "

   "Of course not! Your mum and I love you. We won't leave you."

"T-the dream..." Harry started.

"What about it?"

*Starts here. You may skip*

"H-he would hit me. Even when I cried out for him to stop, he would continue. He would let Dudley join in as well. I. . . I had to do all the house work. If I didn't do them right, I would get hit with the belt.

   "H-he would also tie me down a-and a-and..."

I pulled him close and he started to cry again. "Shhh, Hazza it's OK now, they won't come here and hurt you. I promise. And I never break a promise intentionally."

*You may continue now*

He nodded against my chest. I picked up and found Lily was right, he was surprisingly light for an 11 year old.

I carried him to the kitchen where I assumed Lily was, and my assumption was correct. She was making breakfast.

   She looked up and saw Harry had red eyes. "What happened?" she asked. "Why has he been crying?"

"He. . .he had a nightmare. But he's better now," I replied. "Are you making pancakes?"

   Lily nodded and went back to cooking. "Harry, what else do you like with your pancakes?"

He shrugged. "I've never had pancakes before."

   "Well you're in luck! Your mum makes the best pancakes in the world!"

   "I wouldn't say in the world, but they are quite delicious.  You'll enjoy it Hazza," she said.

   We ate breakfast and got ready for the day.

   As we were heading out, we got an unexpected visitor.

"I hope I haven't caught you in a bad moment?"

   "No professor, you didn't. What is it?" Lily asked.

   "You must be wondering where Sirius Black and Remus Lupin are?"

   I nodded. "Where are they?"

   Dumbledore looked grim. "I have Mr Lupin with me, he should be coming any min-"

  Just then  I saw Remus floo in, eyes widened. "He wasn't lying. Merlin, you guys are alive!" Remus exclaimed.

   "He was never lying. Shit Prongs! You and Lily are alive!"

   "Remus!" Lily scolded. "A child is present!"

   Remus just looked at Lily, like he'd seen the dead awaken- Oh, wait. He did.

   He went up to Lily and hugged her close. To be honest, I thought he'd come to me first, but it's fine.

   "Ten years, I was by myself. Now, you guys are here," Moony said.

   I couldn't help it anymore, so I'd asked "Why is Padfoot in Azkaban, Remus?"

    At this he frowned. "He betrayed you guys. He killed you and Wormtail!"

   Betray us? Killed Peter- "No! Sirius didn't betray us! How could he when he wasn't Secret Keeper?"

   This shocked Remus. "He wasn't- then who was?"

    "Peter"
