No one spoke about Sunday. Sirius and Remus didn't ask James about what he said and James didn't say anything about what had happened afterwards. However Lily and James took Charlie and Ariel out of classes on Tuesday and left Hogwarts for a few hours then Lily moved out of the family suite on Wednesday morning and now had a set of rooms near her office and classroom.

Before anyone knew it, it was Friday morning and the only ones truly excited to see Harry again were Charlie, Ariel, and James.

"Okay so what about this?" Sirius asked, turning to Remus with his hands out, "Yay or Nay?"

"Sirius for the last time it doesn't matter what you wear." Remus said without looking at his husband.

"Yes it does, Moony now look at me and tell me if it's too much." Remus sighed, but he turned away from the bathroom mirror to look at Sirius only to raise a single brow as he eyed him.

"Are we taking him to a five star restaurant today that I don't know about? Why are you dressed in silk?" Remus asked

"...Because."

"No Sirius. You are not wearing your most expensive robes to meet Harry for the first time."

"These aren't my most- I'll change." Sirius turned and headed back to the closet area only to walk back out, "So...what should I wear then?"

"Are you- You're joking right?"

"I'm nervous Moonpie help me." Remus rolled his eyes as he headed to the closet and grabbed a casual robe in a dark green color, handing it to Sirius, "Just this?"

"Sirius. You still have to teach today and there'll be a day for you to wear your best, today is not that day. Just get dressed and change out of your dress shoes. When that's done do not even think about getting your expensive cologne out of the box."

"But-"

"No." Sirius pouted, but did start removing his dark purple robes, "Remember Harry is only sixteen and is probably just as nervous as you apparently are."

"I'm not nervous." Sirius mumbled under his breath hanging the robe on its hanger, "I'm just...okay I'm a little nervous."

Remus sat on the edge of the bed watching Sirius as he got dressed in more casual robes, "Want to talk about it? Why you're so nervous?"

"It's just after today everything is going to change...and we're meeting our Omega mate. It's...nerve wracking and exciting and I guess...after today I have to share you." Sirius said, looking down at his white shirt as he buttoned it.

"Sirius." Remus spoke softly but Sirius just rolled his eyes.

"I know okay. Believe me I know. But you and him are going to have something I'm not. He's going to need you in ways I don't and he's going to give you things I can't and it's...scary. I know you love me, I know this isn't going to change the important things, but it is going to change things. You're going to change the more Harry is around us. I know you're not going to love him anymore than you love me, I know this. But it's still scary." Sirius told him tucking his shirt into his khaki pants then slipping his arms through the robe Remus picked out.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Remus asked

"No...I don't think so. Like I said I know you love me and I know this won't change that. It'll just take some time to get used to it. It's funny, the first person I ever had to share you with was Harry and here we are years later and I have to share you with him again." Sirius frowned, turning to Remus, "Do you think he somehow knew? Like some sort of instinct perhaps?"

"Did a baby, not even one, know that he was going to one day become an omega and be our mate? No." Remus said amused

"Think about it, Moony. He loved the full moons or he at least knew they were...special. He always wanted to look at the moon, be it the half moon, crescent moon, but he loved the full moon the most. You were his favorite almost as soon as he could have a preference, he adored you as a baby."
