The house was quiet. And if you were aware of the specific activity that went on in this house, you would know that this was a rare moment. The house was large, but it had to house a lot of people, so it had to be. Three families and one bachelor took refuge in this house, and they were very peculier.
First, there is James and Lily Potter, with their children; Harry James Potter and Rose Lily Potter. Harry was four, while Rose was two.
Next you have Alice and Frank Longbottom, with their son Neville. Neville, like Harry, was four.
Then you have Sirius and Alexandra Black, and their twins, Carly Marie Black and Maddie Halie Black who are one year old.
And then you have Remus Lupin, werewolf one day a month, but that barely matters.
So you see why it is rare that this house is quiet. But enjoy it for now, because it won't last long.
"James Potter, where are Harry's snitch pajamas?" Lily called.
James's head ducked in the door, "They were just washed. Alice has them."
Lily huffed. "Well, can you get them for me? Harry refuses to go to bed without them.
James's eyes twinkled. "Harry, is that true?"
Harry nodded. "Daddy, there are my favorite pajamas."
James nodded. "I' ll will get them, okay Harry?"
Harry nodded, and then Lily sighed. "Rose!"
The litte girl, with red hair and hazel eyes, came running. "Mommy!"
She jumped on Lily, and Harry shook his head at her. "Rose, you better be careful or you will hurt Mommy."
Lily chuckled. "Thanks for your concern Harry. Rose, those aren't your pajamas."
James walked back in the room, and handed Harry his pajamas, and Rose ran over to her bed and snatched her pajamas. "Harry, out of my room."
Lily shook her head. "Rose, that isn't very nice."
"But Mommy, he's a boy! I need to change!"
James snickered."Come on, Lils, she has a point."
Harry left the room, and he shut the door to his room that was across the hall.
Lily tucked Rose in, and James blew a kiss to his daughter. "Night, my little Rose."
"Night Mommy and Daddy."
"And they are asleep." Alexandra announced. Sirius nodded, and he picked up the newspaper he had been reading.
Alexandra closed her eyes, and her hair went from a dark brown to an aubborn. "I have to go are running out of store closes in a hour."
Sirius nodded, and she had transformed her outfit into normal muggle clothing, jeans and a simple t-shirt. "Be careful Love."
"I will. I have my wand with, hidden in my boot."
"Is Lily Flower going with?Or Alice?"
"All of the above, actually. We are meeting at the door. "
Sirius nodded, and closed his eyes. He folded the newspaper up and set it to the side. "I reckon I should get sleep while I can, then."
Alexandra nodded, and she pulled her straight aubborn hair into ponytale. "Do I look like Lily?"
Sirius opened his eyes again, then closed them. "Like sisters."
"Excellant. If Carly or Maddie wake up, try feeding a bottle. Frank is available, and James is too if you bring them to that side of the house. He doesn't want to leave Rose or Harry though, Neville is quite fine by himself; he just plays with his pet toad George if he awakes. Harry, though, had a knack for getting into is around, I believe. I didn't have time to run over there and ask."
Sirius nodded. "Be safe."
"I'll try."
The seven adults had managed to make a spell, a spell that would shrink their house and everything in it without there being any trace it was ever there and without damaging they had built the mansion, making it into four separate apartment buildings. Each had four bedrooms and one bathroom, and a kitchen, and a living room.
Remus's apartment would be awfully lonely to anyone else, but to him, it was fine. Besides, if he longed for human company, any of the other couples welcomed him.
He heard the Longbottom's door close, and he slipped out his own.
Alice smiled. "Hello Remus! Lily, Alexandra and I are going grocery shopping. I think Alexandra was going to ask you if you needed anything."
"You guys don't have to do my shopping."
"I think she thought of it as a trade. You go help Sirius, you know?"
Footsteps from Remus's left signified that Alexandra had left her apartment. "Hey Remus!"
"Hello Alexandra."
Alice nodded at her. "I told Remus your preposition."
Alexandra laughed softly. "And what did Remus say?"
"He said that we didn't need to shop for him and then I told him he would have to go help Sirius."
Alexandra nodded. "So Remus..."
"I'll do it. Just pick me up the basic groceries."
"Got it. Now where is Lily?"
The door to the Potter apartment was by on the Longbottom's right. It opened slowly, and Lily slid out. "Hey Alice, Alexandra, Remus."
"Hello." The three greeted, and Remus turned towards the Black appartment. "Don't worry Alexandra. Sirius can get some well needed sleep and the girls will be in great hands."
"Thanks Remus." Alexandra called as they walked out the door that lead them outside. "What would we do without you?"
Remus chuckled, remembering the amount of times her husband had said that at Hogwarts when Remus had saved the grey eyed boy from getting in trouble. Concidence.
