The Boy Who Protected

Vault 99

Rose POV:

France was amazing for all of us it was just the holiday we needed as a family. Kaden was so good with his little sister, I know he'll do anything to protect her and keep her safe. The granger's and Sharp's enjoyed themselves as well. I could tell Kaden and Aurora have a thing for one another, all of us can see it. We just hope they realize it before it's too late. Once we arrived home, we were met with a sight Grant and I had not seen in twelve years.

"S-Sirius?" I asked as I took my wand out.

"What are you doing here, Sirius? You're supposed to be in Azkaban." Grant asked the man.

"I broke out. I transformed because I was focusing on my innocence and getting back to Naomi." The man said.

"Mum, dad, who's this? And why does he look so ragged?" Kaden asked.

"Sirius, we're going to have to take you back to Azkaban." Grant told Sirius.

"Wait, let me explain what happened that night after I left Naomi with you two." Sirius said as he pulled out a photo from the daily prophet. "Peter is alive, he blew up the street with his wand behind his back. Made it seem like I betrayed you two, Lily and James. Look at this." He said as he showed us a photo of the Weasley's from their trip to Egypt.

"That's the Weasley's." I pointed out.

"Yes, now look at the rat on that boys shoulder." He told us as we looked closer.

"Holy shit... It can't be... but how?" Grant said.

"The turncoat cut off his finger with a dagger right before he blew up the street. He transformed and ran into the sewers. Just like the coward he is. Of course he found a wizard family to keep his out on news of Voldemort and Medusa's return." Sirius explained.

"Sirius, you said your name was?" Kaden asked. "May I see your left forearm? I think it will be beneficial for everyone present if we solved this quickly."

Sirius pulled up the sleeve of his left arm and Kaden handed Tulip to me as he examined his arm.

"What are you doing Kaden?" Grant asked.

"Last year in Diagon Alley when Lucius tried to touch my chest I broke his wrist and his sleeve was pulled up revealing a tattoo. It was a skull with a snake, I'm assuming that they are given to Medusa and Voldemort's followers." Kaden explained as Grant and I shared a proud smile.

"He's not one of them. Mum, dad, do we still have the pensive Dumbledore gave you two last year?" He asked.

"We do, it's in our shared office here. Why do you ask." I asked my son.

"Well, we can Have Sirius here show us the memory of what actually happened that night. The night everything bad happened, the night you three lost your best friends and Harry and I got marked by their sacrifices." Kaden said with a solemn look

"Kaden, you truly are your parents son. As logical thinking as your father and as protective of your mother." Sirius said to Kaden who just smiled softly in response.

"Sirius, we'll show you to a room. You can clean yourself up and get a new change of clothes. We'll put Tulip down for her afternoon nap then the four of us can see the memory of that night." I explained as I started walking to the stairs.

"Thank you, all of you. Where's Naomi?" He asked.

"She's next door with the Granger's. We thought it best if her and Kaden grew up away from magic until they got to Hogwarts. The Granger's adopted her and love her as one of her own. I know you want to see her, but knowing Cornelius as we do, He'll have alerted the muggle prime minister of your escape. The only way you can see her right now is as padfoot." I explained to him as I led him to a guest room.
