Of course, you never feel lucky, at the time. Good fortune is too often something that can only be recognised with hindsight.

You’re a godfather,” he whispered. Sirius turned his head towards Remus, smiling,
“Yeah,” he nodded, “... blimey, I really hope I don’t balls it up.”

The nurses are going to have to drag me back screaming 😭😭

James peered down at them, red faced, misty eyes and beaming.
“It’s a boy!”
Harry. That was the name they’d decided on

OMG IM GONNA CRY

31st July 1980

“Remus, wake up!” Sirius shook him hard.
“Piss off.” Remus grunted, covering his head with the duvet, “S’the middle of the night.”
“Who cares?! Come on, it’s time! Baby Prongs is on his way - or her way… their way!”

Omg ong omg yall it’s happening EVERYBODY STAY CALM HARRY IS COMING

This kid is going to be so spoilt…” Remus tutted.  
“Good,” Sirius poked his tongue out. “Doesn’t do anyone any good to be brought up joyless, does it, Moony?”

WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN😭

Because fighting a war was one thing - but fighting for the Potters’ future child made every challenge seem more worthwhile.

Oh this I going to hurt I just know it

Regulus Arcturus Black II, only child of Orion and Walpurga Black, has today been confirmed dead in a statement issued from the Black family home in Islington. Born in 1961, the heir to the Black house and fortune was eighteen years old.

RAB they could never make me hate you😭

“Got what he deserved, didn’t he.” Sirius stood up, sharply, “He wasn’t my brother. They’re not my family. That was always made very clear. He was my enemy. He’d have killed every one of us without a second thought. So I’m glad he’s gone. One less Death Eater. Good. Brilliant.”

Oh Sirius🥲
This breaks my heart

Sirius grabbed Remus’ arm and shoved the paper in his face, and Remus blinked at the headline.
BLACK HEIR CONFIRMED DEAD
He looked up at Sirius, who was white as a sheet, eyes wide and pained.
“Oh" Remus said, helplessly reaching out, “Oh no, Sirius…”

RAB was already moving behind the scenes😭
He never wanted to be a death eater.
