A bunch of sparkling clean bowls later, Ses opened the bathroom door and went into the office. Remus looked concerned and Eric a little sad. Sesylia was worried that maybe Remus didn't approve of him. Why else would they be like that? But when they heard her coming in they both looked at her and smiled. Sesylia went beside her boyfriend and sitting on the sofa she looked at Remus, who smiled at her once again, "Finished?", he asked.

"Yes sir… And you?", asked Sesylia not really managing hide her worry.

"We're done too yes. You don't have to worry Sesylia. I think that Eric is a great young man.", said Remus and Eric couldn't help but smile.

"Well I'd better go now sir. It's getting pretty late. Good evening, professor.
See you tomorrow Ses!", he said and gently pecked her cheek, before getting up and leaving.

Remus smiled a sad smile at Ses and told her, "We should get going too Ses. I'll floo you home to talk to Sirius about today ok honey?". Sesylia lowered her head and nodded. Then standing up she went to the fireplace and Remus followed her. Soon enough they were in the familiar living room of Sirius' house. Sesylia felt her stomach turn into knots. It had been a long time since she had been spanked; and she was totally sure that's what was in store for her for hexing her brother. It was not just a school rule, but a house rule too. Sirius was in the kitchen and hearing the footsteps in the living room he sighed and headed towards there. Sesylia looked at him miserably in the verge of crying already. Sirius couldn't help himself. He went to her and gently hugged her trying to calm her down. After some minutes of chattering and Sesylia still in Sirius' arms, he firmly told her that she should go to her room to start her homework and that he'd soon join her there. Ses miserably nodded and climbed the stairs to her room.

Remus headed to the kitchen and started preparing tea for the two of them and slowly filled Sirius in with what had happened today.

"What do you know for that Eric?", asked Sirius worriedly taking the cup of tea his best friend had just prepared for him.

"Ah! I knew you'd ask. That's why I had a long discussion with the kid today, while Ses was cleaning some pretty greasy bowls… He's a great young man Sirius. Down to earth, pretty mature for his age… He had to take many responsibilities at a very young age. All the drunk and junk stuff are based to the fact that his older brother, who is technically in charge of Eric, is one. Eric had to watch for himself and worry for his big brother for the last 3 years, since their father's death. Their mother had died years ago. The kid is great Sirius. As long as Ses doesn't go to his house where the big brother is she is totally safe. Even there she'd be safe, since Billy, Eric's brother is under medical support for the last six months and is more or less a vegie. Eric is taking care of him with difficulty, but if Bill gets into Saint's Mango then he'll have to get under custody and the last thing he wants is a transfer to some orphanage."

Sirius looked at Remus thoughtfully taking a sip from his cup. "I knew Ses had great instincts and now I'm sure. I'm glad you talked to him Rem. Maybe it would help him generally if he felt welcome to talk to you about anything. If he saw you as a mentor…", Sirius said.

Remus nodded eagerly, "That's exactly what I told him. That he should feel free to talk to me anytime and that I would keep an eye on him. He's really a lovely kid. Anyways. I'll get going now. See you mate!", he said and halfhugged
his best friend before heading to the living room and flooing away.

Sirius sighed deeply. He knew that the moment of the punishment would come sooner or later, but he still dreaded it, maybe even more than his goddaughter. He slowly headed to her room. Upstairs Harry was just closing his own door ready to go to the kitchen and grab something to eat. Sirius told him before knocking Ses' door, "I want a word with you after I'm done with Ses.". Harry's eyes widened instantly and Sirius calmly shook his head telling him,
"I mean JUST talk Harry!", and then knocking the door in front of him he entered Sesylia's room.

She was sitting at her desk writing some essay when Sirius came in. She looked at him and left her pen down. Sirius smiled at her and sitting at her bed he motioned her to sit beside him, which she reluctantly did. Sirius looked at her in the eyes and started talking,
"Ok, first of all you should know that Remus talked to me about Eric and I agree on the two of you dating with one and only condition. You won't go over at his place. Understood?".

Sesylia looking confused nodded. She was expecting a downright You're-not-allowed-to-see-him-again!, and now here was Sirius telling her it was ok?

Sirius continued talking, though now much more sternly, "As for the hexing your brother incident, I just don't know what on earth came into you! You know pretty well that hexing someone is allowed only for defense. You also know pretty well of the big rule of NO FIGHTING with wands or without, inside or outside the school or the house, am I correct Sesylia Lily Potter?".

Sesylia wincing at the sound of her full name mumbled a "yessir" and stared
at her feet.

"And what is there to expect if you ever draw your wand to attack someone Sesylia?", continued Sirius not losing his stern tone one bit.
"

A… A spanking sir", answered the girl blushing furiously.

Sirius nodded and wanting to get this over with gently lifted her up and guided her over his lap. He then lifted her skirt up to uncover her panty-clad bottom. Securing her with one hand around her waist, Sirius lifted his right hand high in the air and brought it down hard on Sesylia's buttocks causing her to yelp loudly. Settling in a rhythm Sirius started peppering the cheeks in front him turning them from pale white to dark pink. Sesylia was squirming from the tenth smack and crying by the twentieth. Her godfather's punishing hand kept
spanking her, giving her extra hard spanks at the sitspots. When Sesylia stopped pleading Sirius to stop he got his signal and lifting his right knee
while lowering his left he exposed the girl's sitspots.

"Sesylia Lily Potter! SMACK You will never again SMACK hex someone SMACK if not for defense SMACK in or out of this house SMACK in or out of your school SMACK. Is SMACK that SMACK understood?"SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

"Yeeeeeessssss siiiiiiir…..!", Ses cried out and kept bawling her heart out.

Sirius then gathered his beloved Ses into his arms and gently rocked her
back and forth till she was calm enough. When the last sobs died down he looked at her in the eyes and seriously told her,
"I love you more than you can imagine babygirl, but I won't allow you to behave like that in or out of this house. You need to learn to control your emotions ok?",

Sesylia instantly nodded and burying her head in her godfather's chest promised to control her temper better in the future.

"Now", said Sirius, "Do you want to tell me what exactly made you so mad as to attack your brother like that? What did he say to you?".

Sesylia looked at him in the eyes and answered, "It's not what he said but how he said it! He was all authoritive ordering me around. He has no right to do that Sirius. Only you have that right, and still you do it only when it's fair and not just because you feel like it, like them. But Harry and Allan are like that all the time. And to be honest it's mainly Allan. Harry lost it today. He usually tries hard not to make me feel like he's in charge of me. And he's not. I really want this to stop Sirius! They're like that for ever! But I'm 14 years old. I just can't have them too over my head. I love how they are protective and watch my back but they
don't stop there. If you could talk to them I'd be grateful. I never meant to harm Harry but he really pushed me to my limits today Sirius…".

"I'll talk to them honey. But you'll never hex anybody like that again? Got it?"

"Yes sir. I won't. I'm really sorry.", answered Sesylia and hugged him once again.

After some more hugging Sirius left Ses to relax for a while and headed to Harry's room. He knocked and when the answer came he entered. Harry
was lying flat on the floor staring at his ceiling. Sirius chuckled seeing that scene and sat on the floor next to Harry leaning his back on the bed.

"What did you want to talk about?", asked his godson still a little worried.

"About the whole thing with your sister. I'll talk to your brother as well when he gets home. As I told you I really like the fact that you care and watch out for her, but you and Allan both have to accept the fact that I'm the authority over
her as I am over you. She has to answer to me Harry not to you. Advising and talking and sharing your concerns is totally ok and helps you bond even closer.
But you are not in charge of her. It would be different if you had cought her doing something endangering her life. Then scolding her would be more
than ok. Just like I accepted Allan lecturing you about the drinking incident. But nothing more than that Harry. Just because you don't like her boyfriend
doesn't give you the right to order her do anything. Ok?".

Harry looked at Sirius and nodded silently. It wasn't that he wasn't right. It was just that he couldn't just let go of his babysister like that.

He only said, "I promise to try Sirius.".

Sirius shook his head, "It's not a question Harry. It's a statement. An order..",
he underlined the word, "if you prefer the word. You'll stop treat your sister like she has to answer to you. Understood Harry James?", said Sirius firmly
looking right in his godson's eyes, which he immediately lowered and nodded his agreement.

"Yes sir."

"That's better. I'll go downstairs to make some tea and wait for Allan wanna join?", he asked his tone gentle and pleasant now.

"No not really Sirius. I mean you're gonna lecture him too, so I'll pass!", chuckling at the response Sirius leaned forward and planted a kiss at Harry's forehead before getting up and leaving him alone.

When Allan came home Sirius had the same with him. A much sterner one though since it was the second time he had to tell his older godson that he
was a brother and not a father to his siblings. Allan apologized and promised to stop being like that towards his sister. A few minutes later, he knocked
Sesylia's door. When the answer came he opened her door and reluctantly asked "May i?".

Sesylia was lying on her stomach on the bed doing some more
homework; when she saw her brother she nodded to let him know that he could join her. Allan sat on the bed beside her. Ses got up in a sitting position
hissing quietly when she sat on her still sore bottom. Allan winced at her pain. He did feel kind of guilty because it was him that had angered her so much
that morning.

"I'm really sorry. For being like that to you. I had no right.", he softly told her staring at his hands.

Ses smiled at him, "Just try to keep it under control 'k? I love you big bro but the last days you've been unbearable. Eric is really a great guy. You should just give him a chance."

"I will. I'm sorry for your punishment too. I feel kind of guilty coz it was me who angered you and then you let the steam out on Harry.".

Ses shook her head at that, "Nah… It was my fault. I knew very well what I was doing when I hexed Harry. He did deserve it, but I shouldn't do it. After all it was not all that bad. I've gotten worse from Sirius believe me!", she half-joked.

Allan smiled wider now and after hugging her he let go, got up and told her that he should go coz Hermionie would come over any minute now to hang out. Ses smiled at that.

"Did you finally stop pretending nothing's on with you two?"

"You knew as well?", exclaimed Allan, "How on earth did you all find out?"

"Oh come on Big bro! you couldn't be more obvious!".

Allan shook his head and left her laughing while he headed to his room.
He just couldn't wait for his girl to come!
