Part 4:

“James, I swore to her that I would protect her; I promised her I’d take care of her,” Sirius sighed. “I let her down.”

“Oh, stop it!” James exclaimed. “Just stop!”

“Excuse me?”

“Camey is gone, and it’s not just sad it’s horrible; it is really and truly terrible for all of us. But, Sirius, it wasn’t your fault; it was just her time. So now, you can get over yourself, and we can go help our friend, who is having a harder time than you; or you can sit here and continue to wallow in self-pity. What are you going to do?” James asked.

Sirius sighed. “Let’s go,” he replied.

As they walked inside, Violet and Lily both flashed James smiles of gratitude.

“Remus!” The men shouted, pounding on the door. “Remus! Come out here right now!”

“Just go away,” Remus said through the door.

"Remus James Lupin!" Sirius hollored "Don't make me call your mother!"

"Sirius, that isn't funny," Remus answered.

"Do I sound like I'm joking?" Sirius asked.

There was no reply.

“Remus please! It’s Harry’s first birthday! You don’t really want to miss it do you?” James asked.

“Don’t do it for us!” Sirius said, “Do it for yourself.”

“Please Remus,” James said, “Do you really think Camey would have wanted you to miss Harry’s first birthday?”

Remus sighed, and reluctantly opened the door.

“This just isn’t fair,” Remus said sadly.

“I know,” James said.

“But who ever said life was fair?” Sirius said, comfortingly.

Sirius and James ushered Remus downstairs, where Violet and Lily were placing candles birthday cake.

“Hey Harry,” Remus said patting him on the head. “Happy Birthday little guy.”

Harry looked at him and then looked around the room, slightly confused. “Aunty Camey?”

Remus took a sharp intake of breath, and the adults looked at each other worriedly. “Aunty Camey couldn’t come tonight, Harry,” Remus said. “But she told me to tell you that she loves you very much and to have a happy birthday.”

Harry giggled and looked to his mother. “Cake?”

“Harry Potter, you are just like your father,” Sirius said with a smirk; Harry gurgle with delight.

After singing ‘Happy Birthday’, and blowing out the candles, Lily gave everyone some cake.

Lily looked up from her cake, and asked, “Remus, aren’t you going to eat any?”

“Nah, I’m not that hungry,” Remus said.

Hallie picked up a small handful of cake, and looked to Harry and Hannah. Harry and Hannah smiled to each other, and filled their hands with cake as well. With a nod between each of them, they threw the cake, and each piece managed to land on Remus!

For several moments the room was deadly silent; and then………. Remus laughed! It was not simply a chuckle, but a roar of belly- jiggling laughter.

The adults sighed, oh how wonderful it was to hear Remus laugh!

James turned to the kids and whispered, “Good thinking!”

Harry, Hallie, and Hannah started giggling with Remus, and soon everyone joined in. Oh, it felt so good for them to laugh; for there hadn’t really been anything to laugh about in several years.
