Chapter Two, Hope

(A year and a half later)

"Remus! Sirius!" Minerva called as she brushed the soot off her robes after flooing in to their cottage.
"What is it Minerva?" Sirius asked seriously as he walked into the living room with Remus not too far behind him. They had separated themselves from everybody since their little boy had been taken from them a year and a half ago, they had tried to find him with the link that they had with their Cub but they could never get close enough to him because of a variety of powerful wards that had been set up around the area, their little Ori would be three in three months time Sirius thought sadly as he looked at the pictures of him with himself and Remus and the bookshelf and toy box they had brought for him. Sirius just hoped that with Orion being a werewolf Cub that he remembered them otherwise he didn't know what he'd do let alone Remus.

Sirius shook away his depressing thoughts and focused on Minerva. A wide grin was spread across her face and her eyes were alight with joy a sight he hadn't seen since she was told a small infant had gone missing. A small smile crept upon his face unwillingly her joy was rather infectious. "What has you so happy Minnie?" Sirius teased as Remus remained quiet though he kept his faced locked on Sirius lovingly as he noticed the smile on his husbands face. "Oh Sirius, it's brilliant, marvellous. He's done it he's finally done it isn't it wonderful. I knew he would stop his petty rivalry and you said he wouldn't help." By this time Minerva McGonagall had got herself into a tizzy as she dropped down in one of the red armchairs by the fire but the smile had still yet to leave her lips. "What are you on about Minerva?" Sirius asks as he tries to keep from laughing. He had never seen Minerva act in such a way she had always been rather prim and proper around her students. "Little Ori off course. Severus has finally found him!" Minerva exclaimed. Sirius was in a state of shock that he didn't notice his lover stumble towards a chair as he gripped his chest tightly.

He felt such a strong emotion of pure joy and exhilaration that his legs could barely keep him standing and his heart felt a pang of longing. After so many months the last person he would think to help in their search had finally found his sweet little cub. A sob escaped his mouth as tears streamed down his cheeks. "Remmy, Remmy what's wrong?" Sirius shouted as he knelt in front of his husband. His lovers crying breaking through to his muddled brain. "We've finally found him Siri. I can finally have my little cub back." Remus choked and Sirius quickly pulled his lover into his arms. Minerva watched from her seat as two of her favourite students drew comfort from each other's embrace and couldn't stop a lone tear from trailing down her cheek. She had watched the two young men grieve and search for their son and as they slowly started to lose hope. She promised to herself that she would protect her two lions and their cub. No one else was going to split apart the small family now that they finally had a chance at being a family again not if she had anything to say in the matter.

"Where was he? Where did Dumbledore take my Ori?" Remus asked though he feared the answer as he had felt his Cubs pain and fear.
Minerva winced as she looked at the young parents. "He was left with Lily's Muggle sister. Severus has gone to get him as he knows where the house is as he knew Petunia as a child and Severus has found out that Dumbledore has set up a Ward so that no one of Blood relation to Orion can get him. I'm sorry Remus, Sirius you can't go with Severus but he has promised that he will bring Orion straight here once he has him." Minerva promised the two parents. Sirius had already made his way to the fireplace but at Minnie's words he stopped and a defeated expression came
across his rather handsome face.

"Great, just great old Snivilious can see our son but we can't. What if he needs help perhaps we should go too and wait outside the wards." Sirius stated as he threw a handful of floo powder into the fire. "No Sirius, let Severus collect our son. He knows Petunia he would be much better at blending in and not creating a scene. We can't have Dumbledore know that we are getting our little Orion back from those disgusting Muggles." Remus told his husband always the voice of reason. Sirius sighed defeated knowing that his husband was of course correct and started to pace as he waited for his school rival to arrive home with his son.
