The elven year old boy bounced around his parents excitedly. His golden eyes sparkled and his black hair flew wildly about his face.

"What's it says daddy? What's it say?" His father smiled down at him, golden meeting golden. A smile passed over his face as he ruffled his son's hair.

"It's your letter to Hogwarts Keani. It says you've been accepted. We're so proud of you, aren't we Sirius?"

"Of course we are. You're such a big boy now. A good boy."

"Course I am dad. Can I have a cookie can I?" A big intense golden gaze is turned on.

"Oh Keani of…:"

"No. You haven't had lunch yet, no cookies."

"But daddy."

"Remus."

"No. No, Keani no cookies before dinner and you Sirius no giving him cookies before dinner. You'll ruin his appetite." With that, the honey haired man turned around and walked into the house.

"Dad?"

"I'll give you a cookie, soon as daddy doesn't see."

"I HEARD THAT SIRIUS!" Both son and father cringed. They'd forgotten about Remus' good hearing. However, the cookie war wasn't over yet. "GET YOUR BACKSIDE IN HERE SIRIUS!" Keani watched his father walk back into the house dragging his feet, his proverbial tail between his legs. If he'd been in dog form he'd have crawled into the house. His father was so daddy beaten. Keani followed light footedly not wanting to miss the epic telling off his father was going to get from his daddy.

"You can't let him always have his way!"

"But Remus…:"

"Don't but Remus me Sirius."

"But Remus…" Keani watched his father shrink before his daddy's blazing gaze. He grinned it was always too amusing. His daddy was at least a head shorter and slimmer then his father but he was so firmly stuck under his foot, that Keani was sure his father was actually a big softy at heart, however scary he might look to others. After a while watching his parents bicker like small children was getting boring. He grabbed the letter off the window sill his daddy had put it on and dashed upstairs to his room. He couldn't believe he'd managed to get into Hogwarts. Now all he had to think about was who to take into which shop. He'd been to diagon alley before with his daddy and his father and it always included strategic planning as to which shop to visit with which parent. His daddy was practical, he'd only buy him what he needed, so taking him into the robe shop would probably be wise since he didn't want to spend ages there, the book shop too would be the place to take him. He'd probably only allow him to get a boring practical pet so taking his father there would be a good idea, plus he'd get an ice cream afterwards. Chocolate ice cream, they'd go shopping before lunch so daddy wouldn't like that. He grinned; it was going to be so much fun. Keani chewed on a sugar quill he'd found in one of his draws and felt his smile broaden. It was so easy to get the best out of both parents when one knew just what they were doing and he did. A broom, his father would buy him a broom, his daddy wouldn't. He knew he wouldn't be allowed to take it to Hogwarts but just being able to own one that he could take the next year or use in the holidays would be cool.

The twins would be going to school too; he hoped they'd got into Hogwarts too. At least then he'd know some people. He liked Matt, but he didn't like Harry. Harry was a nasty he pulled his hair and poked him in the ribs and said nasty things about him not having a mommy. What would he want a mommy for? He had the BEST parents in the world. They were fun and lovely and there was nothing wrong with them. Maybe him and Matt could pair off and dump Harry on some idiot who liked having his hair pulled and his ribs poked.

"Keani! Come down, dinner time."

"Yes daddy." Quickly hiding his sugar quill back into his draw he ran down taking the steps two at a time. "Smells good, daddy."

"Your favourite Keani, spaghetti with tuna sauce."

"YEAH!!" The little boy bounced around.

"Sit down Keani, eat your dinner."

"Yes daddy." Dinner proceeded in silence, since everyone was too busy stuffing their face to say anything. After swallowing his last bite Keani started to slide off his chair.

"Keani, wait till everyone is finished. Oh and tomorrow we're going to Diagon Alley to buy you your things for school. Matt and Harry are coming too. "

"Does Harry have to come?"

"Yes, Lily and James can't leave him at home." Keani pulled a face.

"Fine. But he'd better not pull my hair again. Or I'll bite him." Both his parents started roaring with laughter. Dinner always seemed to turn into a jolly affair at the end.
