Amaya and Sirius walked into the meeting for the order of the Phoenix. They sat down next to Lily and James.

"This meeting has been called because I have found some information to show that some families are in danger. Voldemort is going to try to kill either Frank and Alice's Son or James and Lily's. I'm sorry." Lily and Alice gasped at Dumbledore's words. "We will put your houses under protection. I will be your secret keeper. Nobody will be able to see or enter unless I tell them the location."

"Of course you can be our secret keeper." Frank said.

"No offense sir, but I would rather Sirius be mine." James looked to Lily for approval and she nodded.

"That's fine as long as he agrees."

Everyone turned to look at Sirius. "Of course I will be your secret keeper."

"James, can we talk? Alone." Sirius and James walked away from the others.

"What's up?"

"Look, I'm very happy that you want me to be the secret keeper, but I'm too obvious. Everyone will think that it's me. So I was thinking we can let everyone think that it's me but really have it be someone else. That way they will come after me and not the real secret keeper."

"Who were you thinking?"

"Peter."

"Peter?!"

"Yes, he'll be least obvious."

"That's actually a good idea. Let's talk with everyone about it."

"Actually I was thinking that we could not tell anyone but Lily and Peter."

"Not even Amaya?"

"That would put her in more danger. The less people that know the better."

"Okay but why not Remus?"

"Like I said, the less that know the better." Sirius couldn't just tell him that he didn't trust Remus. Remus just seemed suspicious.

"Okay."

It had been a week since they cast the charm and Peter had rarely been seen by the others. He's probably just busy.

Amaya and Sirius walked into James and Lily's house hand in hand. Harry came crawling down the hall and hugged Sirius' legs.

"Harry!" Sirius picked him up and tossed him in the air. Harry began laughing. They walked into the Living room to find James and Lily sitting on the couch talking to Remus.

Sirius set Harry down and he crawled to Remus.

"Hey Harry!" Harry laughed.

"Look what I taught him guys." James grabbed Harry and set him on his lap. "Harry, say daddy."

Harry looked at him confused and then said, "Mama."

"Wow, Mama? you at least tried to say it yesterday."

"You're doing it wrong." Sirius grabbed Harry. "Harry say padfoot."

"Pafoo!" Harry said and Sirius handed him a cracker.

"Bribery?! Unfair." James said.

"You gotta train them like a dog." Sirius said smiling.

"My turn." Remus took Harry. "Harry, can you say moony?"

Harry seemed to be concentrating hard, "Mooey."

"Yes! Good job Harry!"

"Give him to me!" James took Harry. "Alright Harry, it's my turn. Say daddy."

"Mama!" Harry said excitedly.

"No daddy."

"Pafoo!"

"Daddy."

"Mooey!"

"Come on Harry. You're just teasing me at this point."

Harry giggled.

"Fine, I'll just start on dinner." James walked away sadly.

"Dada!"

"Yes!! You did it Harry!" James ran back and picked Harry up spinning in circles.

"James, you're going to make him sick!" Lily took Harry from him and put him on the floor. "Let's go make dinner."

Harry crawled over to Sirius. "Pafoo."

"Hey Harry! Can you say Amaya?" Sirius asked him.

"Ama." Harry said and crawled into Amaya's lap. She kissed his forehead and snuggled him. Sirius watched her with a smile.

They were all about to leave when Sirius asked Remus to talk in private. The two walked outside and into the backyard.

Sirius looked Remus in the eyes and said, "Are you the traitor?"

"What?!" Remus was surprised by the question.

"It makes sense. Your a werewolf and-"

"And that makes me a monster?" Remus cut him off.

"No. You already know that I don't think you're a monster. You could just really benefit from being with one of the most powerful wizards. You have a hard time getting a job. You barely have any food or any money."

"I am not the traitor. In fact I think that you are."

"Me!"

"Yes! We all know your entire family is evil. Who's to say you haven't followed after them?"

"I'm not like my family." Sirius said and nobody believed him.

"Yeah right." Remus walked away.
