"He's crying again! Moony!" Sirius called to Remus who was dozing off on the couch. With a grunt he threw a pillow at Sirius and mumbled "I dealt with him last time. It's your turn you lazy bum."

Eager to stop the shrill shrieks coming from the almost year old, Sirius took the step two at a time until he reached Harry's room.  He picked up the child and bounced him "shhhhh. Shhhhh." He soothed.

Ten minutes later Harry was asleep once more. As Sirius turned around he nearly hit the roof from the start that Remus had given him. For the man had been standing in the doorway admiring the raven haired man soothe the baby to sleep again. "Your good with him." Remus noted as he chuckled at Sirius still panting heavily.

Sirius glared daggers at the man in the doorway just as he had done many times when they were teenagers before rolling his eyes and walking towards Remus. With a small smirk he kissed Remus square on the lips. There was a moment of confusion before body's took over and Remus kissed him back.

"Are we gonna have a party for his first birthday, Sirius?" Remus questioned as he made a full English breakfast for the two of them and some mashed fruit for Harry. 

"Yes. We just need to plan it." He said wrestling a mad Harry into his high chair. "Thanks Sherlock! We need to hurry, he's one in a week and a half." Remus finished cooking and set two plates on the table and a bowl of bananas on Harry's chair.

Flash forward 3 years. Harry James Potter is now almost 4. Sirius chases the little boy around the house with trousers in hand as Remus chased after Sirius with pants.

"Harry! Come here! We've got to put pants on you!" Harry laughed and shook his head, jumping over the couch and shouting "no! No no no!" Remus and Sirius shared a look before running different ways around the couch and finally grabbing Harry.

With some struggle they finally get Harry's pants on him and send him to bed. With a sigh they sit in their room. "What are we gonna do with him?" Remus kissed Sirius.

"He's gotten so big. Before to long we'll be sending him to Hogwarts."

"Don't think about that now. It's out three year anniversary right........... Now." The clock struck midnight. Sirius smiled and kissed Remus softly.

"Your so perfect." Sirius said into Remus' neck. Sirius pushed Remus onto the bed.

"Happy birthday to you." Everyone sang to the now eleven year old. With a small blush Harry blew out the candles and smiled around the room.

"Happy birthday Harry." Hagrid said.

"I've a letter for you Harry." Sirius said handing the boy a thick cream coloured envelope.

"What is it?" Harry asked turning it over in his hands and examining the wax seal, which sealed the envelope closed. It was a crest of some sort, it consisted of four boxes each with an animal.

"Just open it Harry." Remus encouraged. Harry was an mindful child and did as Moony had told him.

After reading the letter aloud to everyone Harry beamed at his uncles. He had heard them discuss Hogwarts before and couldn't wait till he could go there as well.

"I get to go to Hogwarts!?" He asked still in disbelief. Sirius and Remus chuckled "yes, Harry. You get to go to Hogwarts. School starts in three weeks so we've a lot of things to do."

After the party was over and everyone and everything had been cleaned they all went to bed. Over the next few weeks they accumulated the necessary school supply's and soon enough it was time for Harry to be sent off on the train.

"We're gonna miss you, Harry." Remus smiled sadly. "Yeah yeah yeah. No need to get all sad. Now out compartment was the last on the seventh cart. Check under the seats there should be some thing s hidden there. Write me what house you get in. Oh and here." He handed him a scrap of parchment. It was cream coloured and water stained and every time you moved it it crinkled.

"What is it?" Harry looked up at Padfoot with curiosity. "When you want to reveal it say 'I solemnly swear that I'm up to not good. When you want to close it say 'mischief managed.' Have fun Harry." With that they shoved him off to the train.

After leaving Remus shot a look at Sirius "really? The map?" Sirius smiled and nodded "yes. He's going to be just like his dad."
