Shocking revelation

Read the authors note in Chapter two I combined the disclaimer and authors note in the beginning of the chapter.

3rd person pov

It had been six months since the last time the Phoenix had appeared and Harry was now seven months old. Harry proved to be a bright child he could say Mama, Daddy, Mooey, Ruff-Ruff (for Sirius) and Ha wee. Sirius couldn't get him to say Padfoot or Siri or Sirius for anything. Little did he know that James and Remus had photos of him and said Ruff-Ruff every time they showed them to Harry, it became an ongoing gag to the two Marauders. Harry had developed a pretty good vocabulary for a kid who could barely walk, he said Baba, want, hungee, up, no, uh huh, yes, wuv yu, and he could point out anything he wanted that was in sight. Harry hardly ever cried and when he did, you knew something was wrong. He was a near perfect baby, he was smiles and laughs, and he could charm just about any adult with his big green emerald eyes that seemed to be more than half his face, and a full, quivering bottom lip when he was sad or upset.

Sirius came over today to visit his godson, Sirius had made Harry his heir and said even if he had kids of his own Harry would be first in his heart, Harry was a true child of the Marauders. Remus had made Harry his heir as well. Few people knew, but Remus came from a well to do family in France. He was not allowed to inherit while he was a werewolf, but any child he named as his heir and not cursed as he was could inherit. Remus loved Harry, Harry was the only child he would ever have access to, and the child just adored him, and him the child. Harry was very open and friendly with his parents, godparents and Remus. However there was another Marauder who Harry could barely stand to be in the same room as. That's right Peter Pettigrew. James and the other Marauders tried time and again to get the two together, but Harry would have none of it. Harry screamed bloody murder if Pettigrew tried to touch him, and if he touched him anyway, there would be powerful accidental magic that would fling Pettigrew across the room. Peter often wondered how accidental that magic was. The child always had a satisfied smile on its face when it used its magic to send him hurtling into a wall. The others said that was not true, but Peter had his suspicions.

Sirius was sitting in the parlor with Harry bouncing on his knee trying to get him to Siri.

"Okay Harry, say Siri. Seer Ree, come on Prongslet you can say it Seer Ree." Sirius said hopefully.

"S... S... See...(pause) Seer... Seer...RUFF RUFF." Harry laughed as the hopeful look on Sirius face change to one of frustration. James who was sitting on the love seat with Remus giggled and snickered.

"Oh yea James, that is definitely a little Marauder." Remus managed between snickers.

"Yep, that's my boy, well, our boy; he is the son of the Marauders." James said smiling so happy that he could share this sense of family with two of his best friends. Yes the Marauders were truly a family now, well all except Peter. James didn't want to admit but Peter was drifting away from them. He didn't blame Harry for that as Peter had started to fade from there group before Harry was born. He always seemed to be off on a trip or something which was strange as Peter was unemployed and lived off a small stipend left him by his family. The group were talking happily while Lily was out, she arrived a few minutes ago and went to change clothes while she was changing the floo ignited.

"Hello, anyone there? James? Lily?" Amelia Bones said.

"Hi Amy, I'm here, Lily just went upstairs to change after getting off work." James grinned.

"I told you not to call me Amy, my name is Amelia or Madam Bones and you will do well to remember I am your BOSS!" She stated forcefully but it didn't have the bite as she was smiling, 'darn Marauders, always hard to get angry with them.'
