Sirius set on the sofa. It was three years since his brother died and left a wife and son behind. He still couldn't believe no one told him back than the hilarious news that Reggy married a muggle-born. He inwardly smirked as four years old Cassius came running to him.
"Look what I have!" He held a stuffed snake and lion. "Uncle Sev sad that if I have the lion from you as mum is one, I also should have a snake 'corse of father." The boy smiled happily.
Sirius petted his had. "So mum is still friends with Snivillus than?" He looked towards the kitchen.
"Don't be angry uncle. Uncle Sev was father's friend." Cassius gave Sirius serious look.
"The only decent one. Would you like Barty or Evan better?" Miraya came in and gave a kiss on Sirius's cheek.
"You knew I wouldn't." He scowled.
She smiled as she saw a smile playing on his lips.
"No! Don't kiss near me." Cassius ran out of the room.
"You've done it." Sirius smirked.
Miraya sighted and stood up. "I'll go to check on him." She fallowed her son. She went upstairs. As she got to his room she noticed something was off. She drown her wand and went inside.
The door shut behind her. "Hello Black." Mulciber sad dryly.
She turned around and saw him playing hide & seek with Cassius "What is it? I thought my mission was to get closer to Sirius." She snapped quietly.
"No need for that anymore. Guess who came beck from Death." Avery sad bored.
Miraya's eyes widened. "That can't be. How would he?" If it was true... And she was hear in presence of his own brother whit a mission to get under his skin. She was the one who planted the idea of changing the Secret Keeper in his had. Reggy'd be furious with her.
"You are to be a good girl and stay at home till evening. By then he'd bring Master his possession back." Avery sad blankly.
"Am I not to see my husband?" She asked angrily.
"Ready or not hear I go!" Cassius sad and turned around. "Hey! You didn't hide."
"You'll see him at the meeting. Come at seven." Sad Avery and stood up. "And get ride of Black till four. We'll be around."
"Come Cass. Lets go and play with uncle Paddy." She smiled at her boy and took him up.
"Mom can I tell uncle about Avy and Muci?" Ask Cassius as he eyed two familiar Death Eaters.
"Remember what mom told you. Uncle Paddy doesn't like them. So don't." Miraya told her child as she headed out of his room.
"Sirius?" She walked in the living room where Sirius still sat. "It seems that I'll have to go to work. Something urgent came up. I'm sorry. Can you watch over Cassius for me?" She smiled at him sorry-full. "It sounds foolish but it seems someone was resurrected."
He looked at her as if she had grown a second head. "It's OK love. I'll look after him. We will have a lots of fun at uncle Paddy's. OK Cass?"
Cassius smiled happily. "I'll just take Mr. Lion and Mrs. Snake." He ran up for his stuffed animals.
"He is a nice kid." Sirius sad dreamily. "He reminds me so much of him in that age."
"Well, what to say. Your mom's not around to turn him in a maniac." She sad drily.
He wonted to answer her but Cassius came beck just in time. "Can we go now?"
"Come on my boy." Sirius smiled at the boy. He gave Miraya a look clearly saying that they are still going to have a discussion about his mum. As she had still two hovers to spare she stood up and followed by her "guard" she went to the Greaves Cottages house.
Sirius let Cassius watch some muggle cartoons as he prepared dinner for both of them. He knew by now that while at work Miraya usually came late at night. There was a tap on a window. He turned to see a majestic foreigner owl - Strix nigrolineata. He know the owl far to well. It brought him many howllers. But what it was doing hear? He let it in and took a howller from it.
"You bloody bastard. Thanks to you my little precious Reggy married a half-blood and had a child with it! And today he just appeared in the house. Not a single scratch and alive. What a nice joke. Your bloody idea. Am I not right? BRING HIM HOME NOW!"
The voice was hurting his ears. Casius quickly ran to look what was happening. "Cass, we'll go to visit grandmum."
"No, I don't wonna." Cassius protested and Sirius wasn't surprised at all. He didn't wont to as well.
…
Abraxas Malfoy was just taking care of his financial issues seeing as his health wasn't as good as it used to be when Lucius arrived.
"...it that way and no other. Now..." He looked up from his Last Will and from his lawyer. "Lucius, what a surprise."
Lucius approached him. "Can we talk alone?" He asked blankly.
"Leave as for a moment. I hope you have a good reason to disturb me." Abraxas waved the lawyer out and sat in his armchair.
"The Dark Lord sent me to tell you that you are expected at today's meeting and that you are to bring some Diary of his." Lucius sad. There was a bit green color in his face. He hated to do a messenger for those two.
"Is that all? What happened?" Abraxas asked. It didn't seem right. Tom shouldn't have a need to withdraw the Diary.
"You'll see at the meeting." Lucius sad. He knew too good that there was no chance his father would let it go and will not ask questions.
"So what is so urgent to have a full inner circle meeting?" Abraxas pushed farther.
"Well, it looks like there are tree time-travelers from the future who came to save the Dark Lord." Lucius's eyes looked somewhere to the right.
"And he believed them just like that? Some random wizards from who-knows-where?" Abraxas snapped.
"Apparently not. He used Legilimency. They aren't lying." Lucius simply sad.
"And do we know who they happen to actually be?" Abraxas's patience was running low.
"They are my grandson, his wife and a grandson of Andromeda Black." This wouldn't go well with Abraxas. Lucius sad it all in a low voice.
"Well, are they?" He stood up. "What the hell is a spawn of that blood-traitor doing around Draco's son and daughter-in-low."
"The father of Draco's daughter-in-low is the godfather of sad young man."
"How is that even possible? Who's that girl?" Abraxas shouted.
Lucius paled. He was dreading this question. "Lillian Potter, daughter of the boy from the prophecy and the Weasleys' daughter."
"Only thru my death body!" It seemed to Lucius as if Abraxas was ready to ran to the Manor and kill the women.
"Shouldn't you collect the Diary?" Lucius asked to distract his father.
…
Just for the fun of it Tom went to the Godric's Howl to scare Potters a bit. It was nice to see Hogwarts after all dose years as Dumbledore wasn't even aware of his visit. The headmaster started to loos his touch.
The cottage in front of him seamed so lovely. He quickly approached the door and blasted them out.
"He's hear! Take Harry and run! I'll slow him down." James Potter shouted.
Tom turned to see Lily Potter as she ran up the stairs. What a silly girl. He knew if he wanted it it'd be so easy. But no need for that yet. But he can have some fun. "As if you could Prongs." Tom grinned as mad.
James's eyes widened. This definitely meant that Peter betrayed them. "Leave my family alone! I'm not afraid of you Voldemort!"
"You are brave. I'll give you that. But foolish. Griffindor." Tom sad mockingly.
"Reducto!" James shouted.
Tom nonverbaly deflected the spell and approached James. "Stupefy!" He hit James right in the chest. "I came to invite the tree of you for a small gathering. So stay hear while I collect the other two." He wen upstairs.
James could just fearfully watch as Tom went on and listen. "Not Harry! Pleas. No! Take me! Take me instead. Not Harry! Not my son!" Just listening teared his hart apart.
"Silly girl. I am not hear for your life." His laughing could be heard in the whole cottage.
"Sectumsempra." Lilys' shaky voice came to James.
"Good one. Too bad that's not enough." Was he casting nonverbaly? If he wasn't stupefied he'd be there. He'd protect them.
"Bombarda maxima!" Lily's voice was hysterical.
There came no explosion and than... "Crucio!"
James heard her. She was up there in pain and he couldn't help her. And Harry? What about his boy. Will Voldemort torture them and than just kill them of one by one? Or will he kill just Harry and let them suffer the lost of their baby? With all his might he tried to move.
Lily's cries stopped. "Imperio." James's hart skipped a beet. There was sound of steps and soon he saw Lily and Voldemort coming down. Harry was on Lily's arms. Voldemort pointed his wand at James. "Imperio." There was a great feeling of happiness in his had. Everything was right. All he needed to do was to listen to the voice. It sad him what to do. He appearated to the location the voice sad to appearate to.
…
"Isn't that our good friend Reggy coming back?" Evan Rosier cooed.
"You know. We missed you." Barty smirked. "Just to watch you torturing some mudbloods. You always seemed to be the one tortured." His voice was mocking.
"And you know what?" Evan's voice went sing-song. "Your wife was recruited. Pretty nice if you ask me. What a shame her mission is your brother." He empathized the word "mission".
Regulus's face turned rad. "Say that once more!"
"Stop that nonsense!" Teddy snapped. "I didn't bring him for you to torture. You shouldn't play with food." His eyes went bit golden as tonight was a fool moon.
"Weren't you supposed to be a good guy?" Sad a bittersweet voice from behind the werwolf.
Teddy turned to Narcisa. In his time she and granny reunited. Same could be sad about her son and husband. "Am I not? After all you and your family were around when granny and Harry raised me. And I'm an auror. Just like mum." His hair went to a mousy brown color.
Narcisa put two and two together. So it seemed that after the Dark Lord's fall her family didn't go to Azkaban. That mend they changed sides. She paled a bit. And turned to her cousin. "It's nice to see you again. Give Barty that think that Dark Lord send you to collect and come with me. You can come to Ted." She was home hear. She waited for some protests but non came.
Barty took roughly the Locket from Regulus and went back in with Evan. There were some prisoners in the dungeon cell after all. They'd be more enjoyable.
As Narcisa lead them to the nursery Regulus's thoughts were whit Miraya and their son. How was she? Did Voldemort made her life a Hell? Bloody Merlin! It was all his fault. He was afraid of meting them again but longing for them newer less.
Baby Draco played in his cradle whit a flying mini model broom. As the door behind them shut she turned to Regulus and hugged him. "I missed you." He was always her closest relative. Or at leas since Andy left. "Ted can you tell as about the war with the Dark Lord and the reasons why you wont to save him?"
…
Tom made the young couple and their son under Imperius to appearate to the gates of Malfoy Maner and than managed to take them unnoticed to his two guests' room. "Make them join me." He closed the door before they'd answer him and lifted Imperius.
"Lily!" First of all James ran to check on his wife. Just to hear her torture was worse than to see it. He had to make sour that she was OK and was totally oblivious of the young couple in the room.
Lillian stood from her spot on the bad and came to Harry who was siting on the carpet. "Hello little one." She smiled as she picked him up. It was strange to see him as a small innocent child. She always saw him as a brave all grown up father. This was too off.
"I'm OK James. Where is Harry?" Lily asked softly.
Scorpius came to the couple and knelled beside them. "This will help you." He forced a vial of pepper-up to Lily's mouth and sooner than James'd have stopped him downed it in her mouth. "Don't!" James turned to Scorpius. There was fear in his face. "You! If anything happens to her I will..."
Lily's eyes opened as the potion started to work. "Take it easy. It's just a pepper-up." Scorpius gave James and Lily a reassuring smile. "Dear, let Harry to walk to them." He sad slowly and moved away.
Lily caught her son in her arms and looked at the young couple in the room. Their expressions were weird. She scanned the room they were in. "Who are you?" Asked James sharply. "Death Eaters?"
"Scorpius and Lillian Malfoy." Scorpius sad as if it was the most obvious think in the world.
Both James and Lily were confused. After all they newer heard of a couple of such names. But than those were Malfoys and that meant dark wizards. James stood up and positioned himself between the two and his family.
"You didn't get thru." Lillian sad and stood by the side of her husband. "We aren't Death Eaters. Nor are we prejudiced pure-bloods. We aren't even from this time period." She turned to Scorpius. "Can you bring us the Pensive?" She asked. She was still sour that her grandparents didn't believe them. Scorpius quickly went out. "I was born a Potter and your child is my father. You won't believe it so Scorp went to get a pensive and we'll show you. As you know it's harmless and you can easily tell if someone played with a memory.
James and Lily eyed the strange women in front of them. Yes, she resembled Lily a lot. But not fully. Non less neither saw it coming. A Potter married to a Malfoy.
Scorpius got back in the room with a marvel pensive and placed it on a night table. "I'll place in all the memories and before we go in magically lock the door. So have no wares." He sad and locked the room then he and Lillian placed the memories they showed to Tom to the pensive and all five of them touched the silver liquid.
...
The visit at Dorcas's wasn't a pleasant one.. The young women was still angry at her ex-fried. She sold her out so Voldemord could easily force Peter to betray James and Lily. Hell she even told him just to say that Remus was a traitor and how he can frame Sirius. She hated Miraya now.
After the visit along with her "guard" Miraya appearated near the Malfoy Maner and walked thru the gates.
It seemed most of the Death Eaters were already present. She was looking around for a familiar face but couldn't see Reggy anywhere. "Hello Miraya."
She turned around to see Severus. "Hi. They told me Reggy is alive." She sad sceptically. It still could be a nasty joke.
"Yes, I saw him earlier. Mrs. Malfoy wonted to speak whit him. They are in the nursery." Snape sad but couldn't hide obvious discomfort.
"Thanks. See you later." She hurried in to see for herself if it was true. She highly doubted that Sev'd be in that kind of joke. Right before the nursery she paused for a moment and whit one last breath she opened the door.
"...and after that I learned as usual that it was Greyback. There is a potion that can easy your..." Teddy stopped in the middle of his sentence and went quiet.
Narcisa petted his shoulder. "Come. Lets see if Lucius is back."
"Yes ma'am." Teddy smiled at Miraya. "He is all yours."
They remained the only people in the room except of Draco. Miraya stood by the door and just eyed him as a ghost. "How?" She finally managed to say after some time.
"That man who just left. It seams he and his two companions are from the future and came to save the Dark Lord. What's my role in it is beyond me." He moved closer to her.
She still awaited that any moment now she'll awake. "So you..."
"He took me moments before I'd have been killed by inferys and brought me hear in this time and place." There was no more distance between them.
Her hand rose up to touch his face. "You...You are for real." Her hand rested on his shoulder as she was unable to do anything or think straightly. There was a mixture of emotions. The happiness, love, sadness, fear, guilt...
"Don't worry Miry. I'm hear and I won't leave you and Cassius anymore." He left his hand to run thru her hair and kissed her forehead.
"But I did..." She started and stopped herself. It was hard to say it. But harder was to find the courage to face the consequences.
"I've heard. They got to you thanks to me. If it's anyone's fault than my." He gave her his genuine smile.
"Reggy I've missed you." She hugged him. "And so did Cass."
"By the way where is he?" He hugged her back.
"Whit Sirius. It's much safer than anywhere else."

Author's note
Hi there. You can find some unusual thinks that aren't completely canon in the story. There are two mayor. Regulus Black had a girlfriend while at Hogwarts. She was a half-blood griffindor a year older than him and a cousin of Lestrange brothers. In her seventh and his sixth year they had a son and got secretly married before the Black family could have stopped them.
As for the second one there is Peter Pettigrew and Dorcas Meadows. You'll find more about them in a time. Lets just say that you can find some info about them in my one-shot Betrayal.
This chapter was a bit of honey and much lemon. Don't kill me for that. Pleas R and R.
