"Harry, you're here. I'm sorry, I had to talk to Minerva first. Ready to go?" Remus's voice was always soft and warm, making Harry wants to crawl in his arms.

Harry smiled, "Yeah. I'm ready."

"Go on, sit in the car. I'll handle all of your things."

The young boy looked at his bags, and at Remus again, "I can do it."

"I know you can, darling. I want to."

Harry didn't say anything, but his smile spread almost on his whole face when he heard the usual nickname. He nodded, and went to opened the passenger door of the car and sat on the seat. He didn't know how to behave, not with people like Sirius and Remus, they were good, soft and always welcoming. They didn't think that Harry was a freak because his skin wasn't white, they didn't hate him. Not yet, Harry thought, he shook his head, no, I'm valid and worth it. They care.

"Alright, Harry?"

He didn't hear him coming, but here he was, sitting beside him with his hands on the steering wheels. The young man looked at his new guardian, offered a smile and nodded slightly. His phone vibrated in his hands, he unlocked it to read sirius's message.

06:09pm, Sirius: I'm more than sure. You're worth it Harry.

He smiled, again.

The Lupin's house was not a big house, it was a normal sized house bought by the spouses five years before. Remus parked in front of the house, and looked as his new son (?), who - by the way he was playing with his hands - was nervous.

Delicately, Remus's right hand caressed Harry's cheek, "Welcome home, darling."

Harry's green eyes suddenly brightened, and his heart expanded in his chest, his nervousness turned into excitement. The two-thirds of the new and little family left the car, went to the door and without any keys, Remus opened the door, secretly smiling.

And then -

"SURPRISE!"

Harry looked at Sirius who was holding a banner with writing "Harry James Potter-Lupin" on it. He stared at him, tears leaked out of his eyes, and his heart was beating really really fast in his chest. Without thinking about it, he ran and jumped in Sirius's arms. The banner fell on the floor when Sirius tighten Harry in his arms, who was sobbing quietly. Sirius Black looked at his husband, the two of them smiling at each other, before Remus joined them.

"Sweetheart ?"

"I'm sorry." Harry whispered.

"It's alright darling." Remus's hand passed through harry's hair which calmed him a little.

"Thank you, for everything. I love you. Both of you."

"We love you too, son. More than anything." Sirius murmured in his hair and smiling at his husband, they were a true family now.

Harry separated himself from the family hug, and took the banner, "Can we keep it?"

"What if you put it in your bedroom?" suggested Remus.

A bedroom, not a fucking cupboard under some fucking stairs, Harry thought and smiled, "I'd love that." I'll write it on my skin, if I have too.

"I actually have something for you." Harry hesitated, what if they didn't like it?

Harry searched in his pocked until he found the two little box, and offered them to Sirius and Remus.

"You didn't have too, Harry." Remus said, afraid that his son felt.like he owed them something.

"I really wanted to. My friends helped me."

They opened their box and discovered a silver bracelet each, on one side was written harry james potter-lupin, and on the other the chosen family.

"I thought it fitted, I've the same. Almost the same." Harry showed his right wrist were his own bracelet was laid, instead of his name, was written sirius and remus lupin.

"It's perfect, Harry. I love it." Remus suddenly said, his own voice was slightly hoarse. He very much wanted to cry at how happy he was right now, more so when he remembered this time of his life where he has no one, and now, he has a gorgeous husband and beautiful son.

"It fits perfectly." Sirius said before taking his husband and his son in his arms, again. I'll never let you go.
