Finally done with chapter 6.
Start Chapter 6
"What is this about the abomination hailed from my flesh?" A stout woman said with rage on her face. She carelessly stomped past the two young children and shrieked when she saw Sirius. "How could you Narcissa! You let this blood traitor into your home and treat him with hospitality?" She snarled and glared down at Narcissa with disgust.
"Please calm yourself dear aunt and listen."Narcissa said gently. "Listen to what? Filthy lies coming form the betrayer of our most noble house? I think not! You will dispose of that mar of our flesh immediately!"The woman insisted. "I told you Narcissa that I-" Sirius was cut off with a look from Narcissa. "Please he wishes to repent! He wants to rejoin or most noble house but was to fearful of your reaction to contact you. Sirius was simply going through a rebellious stage and regrets all that he has done and said." Narcissa said. The woman standing in front of her looked surprised and still angry but she no longer looked as if she were going to curse him at any given moment. "Is this true?" She said sceptically and narrowing her cold eyes at him dangerously. Before Sirius could respond angry screaming reverberated throughout the room shrill and ear piercing.
Sirius was around the table in seconds, Remus, Narcissa, and the woman were after him as well. Draco was red faced and looked absolutely furious. Harry looked distressed by Draco's angry out burst and was holding Paddy tight against his body. Draco had toys all around him and seemed to be trying to show Harry them and trying to get him to play with them but Harry showed no interest and instead was concentrating on stacking blocks in neat little piles the best he could. He couldn't get away from Draco. Harry was to slow with his plush and practically had a wall of toys forcibly stacked around him. Draco seemed to have been trying his best to showoff as many as he could to Harry and demanded that he played with them. Harry didn't want too.
Draco made angry grunts and shrieks and pushed the toys at Harry even with the adults watching, Harry cringed when Draco did so in a frightened manner. "Oi! Make your brat leave my Harry alone!" Sirius said and made a wringing motion with his hands. The stout older looking woman snapped her neck to stare at Sirius with scathing eyes. "Your what? Tell me now traitor of my flesh and blood, what are you implying?" She said and began to dart her eyes around suspiciously. Her eyes landed our her nephew then on a upset doe eyed child. She didn't think that she had ever seen the child before, she was actually quit certain that she had not. Walburga stepped closer and shrewdly inspected the small child.
Harry whimpered and held his arms up for Remus, "Da haw naw!" He said fearfully. Remus couldn't help but to listen and scoop him up into his arms. "Don't worry I will keep that mean little boy away from you." Remus murmured and stared down at Draco. He looked to be absolutely boiling with rage.
Draco began to toss things about and scream as loud as his little lungs would allow him to. Nearly a dozen glasses shattered from several feet away, one shattered in Lucius's hand and splashed Fire Whiskey all over the carpet. Lucius made a surprised noise. He snapped his fingers once he got out of the daze he had been in. A House Elf appeared and immediately started to cleaning. Only moments later the mess had been just a memory.
The three, Walburga, Narcissa, and Lucius looked stunned at the display of magic. "The blood of our most noble house is strong withing this one." Walburga praised. Sirius snickered. Walburga turned to his sneering, "And what do you find so funny taint of my loins!" She snarled. "Eeeewww! Don't-don't ever say that again that's just yuck!" Sirius said making a grossed out face. His mother glared threateningly at him, "alright-alright! Our Har-" He paused when Remus gave him a look that said, don't say anything. "Oh I have nothing at all to say...?" He said, laughing nervously.
Lucius rose a slender eyebrow at Sirius and looked at Harry. Harry was staring down at his fussing son passively. Narcissa was trying to give her son toy after toy, each one was thrown or brutally smashed into the floor and hit. Remus simply looked uncomfortable and like he much rather be anywhere else. When it seemed that nothing could make the situation worse the flames in the fireplace turned green and three figures made their way out from within the it.
"Cissy how are y-" Bellatrix froze at the seen in front of her. "Blood traitor!" She shrieked and held out her wand but paused when she saw the little green eyed child starring at her. Just like the one from her dream... She remembered the child with a soft looking tuft of hair and beautiful green eyes. She remembered in the dream the man that was holding the child, the little boy, was his father and he was a Lupin. The pictures... Sirius had been the child's mother and the child, her nephew! The child was her nephew she didn't know how she knew but she did and he belonged to a blood traitor. She smiled, "Now who is that little Siri-wiri? The wittle baby reminds me of one in a dream that's been haunting me, it has! What's the wittle baby's name?" She cooed and approached Remus. "Look at how sweet he is." She crowned and came as close as she knew was safe for her to come. Bellatrix completely ignored Draco and when he tried to go over to her to help him get Harry back down she slid him over with her foot with out missing a beat. "Not now!" She hissed at him. He stared up disbelievingly at her but made no move to get any closer nor was he dumb enough to make another sound at her.
"You don't need to know... Please, don't come any closer to me!" Remus said, he felt the wolf instincts within him stirring from so much danger in the room. She frowned, "Why not?" She asked with a pout. "Bella my darling I feel that it would be best to allow the man some space." A tall nicely build man said calmly. Bella stalked to the man and Remus looked relieved. He gave the man a hesitant smile and a greatful look and the man nodded back at him.
"Now that everyone is here I think it is time to tell the family your secrets Sirius." Narcissa said. She held her screaming squirming son and tried to bounce him on her hip. She gave up and plopped him on Lucius's lap. He jerked is surprise and curled his lip in a uncomfortable way when Draco stared up at him with some of the most spiteful eyes even he had ever seen.
Sirius eyed the fireplace and then glanced at Remus. "Well uh, what kind of secrets do you want me to tell them..." He said shifty-eyed. Narcissa sat down and crossed her legs. "Really Sirius? We both know what one is most important right now." She said impatiently. Harry looked around with what looked to be anxiety. "Is anyone going to tell me what this child is doing here? It is already strange enough with that man over there and my Blood Traitor son." Walburga said with her nose in the air.
Bellatrix grinned and began to circle the room like a hungry shark, she knew. Narcissa glared at Sirius and finally began to speak. "Really cousin? Being such a cowardly thing. Aunt of mine please sit." Narcissa said and patted a couch cushion on the right of herself. "Please don't Narcissa!" Sirius said in a pleading manner. His mother narrowed her eyes and sneered at him. "Tell me, tell me now Narcissa! What has he done to taint our great and most noble house?" She ranted. "Yes Cissy! Yes, tell us what wittle Siri-wiri has done!" Bellatrix said and cackled.
Sirius flinched and slowly began to move closer to Remus, Harry, and the fire place but also closer to the two men and Bellatrix. "Please just tell them already, I really do tire of this melodrama." Severus drawled and glided over to a stiff but comfortable looking chair. "Oh, yes sorry Severus! What I was going to say is that the child in Sirius's arms is your-" She froze with her mouth hanging open in horror, Bellatrix and the two men were out cold and Lucius could not do anything to help them with Draco on his lap. Draco still insistent on having Harry play with him, even if unwillingly. "Why the bloody hell does this thing keep happening?" Sirius yelled backing away with his wand extended in front of himself. A calculating look crossed his face and he smiled deviously. "Why didn't I think of do that sooner?" He said to himself and before the others could react he hand out his wand and made a figure eight with it than the sign for infinite he jabbed his wand forward and twisted it like a key locking a door, Walburga's eyes widened, "Secreta nostra non potest!" Sirius said in a strong confident voice. He and Remus quickly ran over to the fireplace before the stunning effect of the spell wore off. "Hahaha! You'll never know now wench!" Sirius said and turned to through the flue powder in the fire and stepped in, yelling Leaky Cauldron! The only traces that even showed anyone had been there was two empty cups and half ate tea cake. Once the shock had worn off Walburga rapidly stood and screamed in rage, "No! How dare he! How dare he prevent me from knowing! I will find out you horrid fool!"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
After flooing to the Leaky Cauldron they quickly flooed to there home, moments before Walburga, Lucius, a reluctant Severus, and Bellatrix flooed through wands in their hands. Several people backed away and gasped in fear at that and Bellatrix nearly got arrested for attacking a man that she thought had to have known Sirius because he was dressed in a more muggle like style of clothing and wore a Gryffindor scarf.
One Sirius and Remus were safely at home with Harry the both flopped onto the coach and stared at each other than down at Harry, both looked gray and Harry looked ready to puke. "Well that would be a birthday I would remember... Not for good reason.. Dafinatly not for good reason! Of course our son would have the worst birthday in his life and he's only one!" Sirius said with a guilty look. Remus nodded, "I-I nearly lost control." He said looking shaken. "I know." Sirius said and picked Harry up from Remus's lap. He began to pet his little tuft of hair like a puppy as he thought. He quirked his lips when Harry's stomach rumbled from hunger, though it actually sounded like a strange little pur. Harry looked down with a startled look his big green eyes were wide. He looked up at Sirius then at Sirius's stomach like he was waiting for his to grumble too.
"Remmy you put a stasis charm on that cake right?" Sirius said. Remus nodded, "Of course, I didn't know when we were going to come back." He said smiling at Harry's curious face. They both stood and went to the kitchen, sitting Harry into his highchair. Harry began to bounce and smile when Sirius dug into a bag and pulled out three singing hats. "I lost my other one when we were confronted by the icky snakes." Sirius said sadly. He sighed, "At least I made an extra just in case I lost it!" Sirius said and turned to Harry grinning, "I made you one to Harry love!" He put it on Harry's head and tied a little ribbon to keep it in place and eagerly put one on himself as well, "I'm not going to wear that Sirius, there is no way you can make me!" Remus said eying it warily. Sirius pouted, "But Remmy! Don't you want to make Harry happy, he likes the hats!" Sirius whined.
After several minutes of persuading Remus was wearing the hat and was bright red from the tops of his ears to his chest. His hat was particularly loud and wasn't as in tone as Sirius's or Harry's hats. In fact it was awful, like a yowling cat mix with a wailing crow. Sirius began to snicker, "Daddy isn't nearly as in tone as we are is he Harry love? No he isn't Daddy, can't sing a note!" He said. Remus blushed even darker. "He's going to be such a good little singer, aren't you Harry? Going to be a, what do the muggles call them... Oh! Your going to be a rock star and the band will be named in our honor once your out of school. It's going to be called the Marauders! And-and your going to have all Gryffindor colors for your theme colors!" Sirius said in a dreamy way. Remus looked mildly disturbed and shook his head in a hopeless way. "Harry isn't going to be a grubby singer Siri. Harry's going to be a scholar and will get a real job!" He said and brought the pieces of cake over. Sirius smiled when Remus turned he sat the piece of cake on the highchairs tray. Sirius had a hard time controlling his strong need to laugh as Remus remained oblivious, looking for a baby spoon. Harry stared at the cake in confusion and still seemed to be more interested in his hat than the brown sticky thing in front of him. Seconds before Remus turned around Sirius scooped some of the frosting off of the top of the little piece of cake and popped his finger into his son's mouth. Just as Remus turned with a spoon, smiling Harry, with his mother's encouragement, dug into the cake covering himself in sticky frosting.
Remus paled and Sirius looked disgusted and amused. "Good boy Harry!" Sirius praised and clapped. He began to sing happy Birthday and Remus reluctantly joined him. After Harry was done they were both forced to clean. Sirius took Harry and Remus, well Remus took everything else. He could hear his screams from all the way downstairs and once he was done and downstairs he demanded to be held by Remus. He glared daggers at Sirius. Sirius looked miserable and wet but didn't say anything.
They only got Harry a few presents. Three were completely Sirius's idea, one a beautify made Gryffindor footy pajama suit hand knitted from the number one Marauder himself, well he would have answered with that if he were asked. Another was a Lion plush that Harry seemed to like but didn't really have nearly as much interest in it than he had in Paddy. The last that he had insisted on giving Harry was a pop up book about pranks. The last present was actually several books and toys to go with a few of them that were meant to be fun and help learn letters and numbers, these Harry seemed to be very interested in and quickly got the hang of what he had to do to make the book he had open make more noises and turn different colors. Sirius seemed devastated when he picked up what to do so easily and whined patheticly at Remus, who was very proud, when Harry happily bounced and grinned. He babbled excitedly and smiled up at his parents, as if to say ' look, isn't this amazing?'
Remus chest was erect with pride and a smugness that said I told you so radiated from him in waves. "Our cub is smart!" He said smirking at Sirius. "Yes but-but! But he's going to be a perfect Gryffindor, I mean look at him!" Sirius pleaded as if he were beginning to have to try to convince himself. Remus rolled his eyes, "And he's going to be the best Marauder of us all, you just wait Remmy! I'll prove you wrong!" Sirius said sounding more desperate than determined. "Yes I will just wait for a very long long time." He said sounding both amused and smug.
"He'll be both!" Sirius said. Remus simply smiled at the statement and snorted when Sirius made a despairing noise when Harry managed to move on to another page in the book, giggling in pleasure. "Noooo! Harry don't learn!" Sirius whined, "You won't be a Gryffindor if you keep learning!"
