It was dark, and Sirius was showering when James came to pick Harry up.

Harry was scooped into his father's arms immediately, and James looked relieved to find him in one piece.

"Doubted our ability to handle him?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

"Not at all," James said, smiling, "How'd it go with Sirius?"

"Perfect."

"Really?"

"Yup."

"Good. Thanks for today, Moony."

"No problem. I should probably thank you. Say hi to Lily for us."

James left the apartment, talking to Harry as if he were another adult. I shut the door behind him and leant up against it, sighing. It was a very trying day, but well worth it.

I made my way to the bathroom, where I could hear Sirius bellowing a tuneless tune over the roar of the water.

Smiling slightly, I opened the door and slipped inside.
