Chapter 10 - Visit from Auntie Minnie
Harry was in his room waiting for Albus to come up and say 'Goodnight' to him when he heard the screams throughout the house. He got up and followed them to Sirius' room where he saw his papa, Sev, and Remy holding Siri's arms and legs and trying to wake him up. Harry walked in and asked
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Harry why aren't you sleeping?"
"I was waiting for you to come up Papa and then I heard the screams and came downstairs. Do you need any help?"
"Yeah sit by his head and try to talk to him?"
Harry sat down and said "Siri come on, you got to wake up. I need you to tell me embarrassing stuff about my parents. Remember you said you would tell me all the good pranks you pulled and how my dad finally won over my mom. Please wake up." Harry finally begged and hugged Siri's neck.
He felt a hand on his head and heard a voice say "Jamie are you crying?"
"Siri are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine now tell me who I have to beat up for making you cry?"
Harry laughed and said "You don't have to beat up anyone, I was just worried."
Siri looked around and saw everyone.
"Jamie where is everyone and who are all these old people?"
"Siri, I'm not Jamie, I'm Harry his son, these are Sev, Remy, and papa; please come back to us" Harry said.
Siri shook his head like he's coming out of a trance and saw everyone around him and joked "Are we all having a sleep over?"
"Siri thank god your back" Albus said as he gave him a bone-crushing hug.
"Do you want to talk about it Siri?"
"Not right now dad but can you just stay with me for a while please?"
"Of course I will my little pup."
Albus looked at everyone else and said "Okay off to bed with all of you. Good night love you all."
"Night dad, love you" Sev said giving Siri a brotherly pat on the shoulder.
"Love you too Papa, Siri, Night."
"Night dad, Siri" Remy said.
"Night you all, thanks for the help."
Remy went immediately to his room and Sev looked at Harry and asked "Hey are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, just gonna get a drink of water, then go back to sleep"
Sev looked at him and gave him a hug and said "Don't stay up to late okay".
"I promise" Harry said as he went downstairs. After he was done with his water he went to his room.
After a half hour of lying in his bed staring at the ceiling Harry heard his door slowly open. Thinking it's his papa he pretended to be asleep. He heard someone chuckle near him and then heard someone say
"You can stop pretending to be asleep Harry, I know you're not."
Harry looks and sees Siri kneeling by the head of his bed.
"What are you doing here I thought you were asleep?"
"I tried but I couldn't, after dad was asleep I slipped out of the room and I kept seeing your face when I closed my eyes, I scared you."
"Not really, I just wasn't expecting to be called Jamie."
"I'm really sorry about all that, I think my brain went back to happier times before I was imprisoned, do you want to talk or something?" Siri asked as he sat on the bed.
"I thought something was going to happen to you, then you were my age and calling me Jamie, asking me who you had to beat up for making me cry. I guess it was all too much" Harry said with tears in his eyes.
Siri opened his arms and said "Come here" and drew him into a hug and just held him.
That was Harry's breaking point and he just let it all out and didn't even mind when Siri drew him up onto his lap.
Harry fell asleep while cuddling into Siri after he cried it all out. Siri lay back and got the covers on both of them and fell asleep with Harry's head resting on his chest.
Albus woke up in Siri's room but panicked when he did not find his. He started searching the house from top to bottom starting with the kitchen. By the time he got up to Harry's room thinking to wake up Harry and his other sons to help find Sirius, he found to his surprise Siri cuddled together with Harry sleeping peacefully. He silently accioed his camera and took a couple pictures of it thinking of how cute they looked together.
He walked over to the bed and first woke Siri by saying "Siri food!"
Siri's head popped up and said "Food?"
"Yes food, are you hungry?"
"Yeah help me with Harry?"
"Hold on I'll get him up" Albus went over to Harry and said "Harry, time to get up."
"No go away, sleeping."
"Harry food"
Harry pulled his pillow over his head to try and block out his papa's voice.
"Dad wait a minute I think I know a way" Siri said and leaned over Harry and started a tickle attack that made Harry jump up and shriek like a girl.
"That was mean."
"We had to wake you up, Minnie is coming today remember."
"Now I know I'm not coming out, tell her I'm doing my homework and I'm grounded."
"No you are coming downstairs now. Let's go."
Harry got up and went to get his clothes and got into the shower. While Harry was in the shower Albus talked to Siri.
"Why were you up here?"
"I couldn't sleep and I didn't want to wake you up, so I came to check on Harry, he looked a little down when he left my room yesterday."
"Probably because I didn't come up to say goodnight last night, I was just worried about you though."
"I think it was because I scared him with what happened yesterday. He wasn't ready to be called Jamie; I think it was all too much."
"Is he okay now?"
"Yeah he had a good cry last night and had me during the night if he needed me."
Harry walked in and saw the two still there; he went over and said "So what are we talking about?"
Siri grinned "How I can trick you to go downstairs."
"You can't. I'm awake that's what I promised. Now I will start doing my homework. Have fun with your guest."
"Harry you have to come downstairs and eat breakfast."
"No because then you'll force me to do my work downstairs and I don't want to."
"Harry come eat now!" Albus said sternly.
"Papa please no" Harry says with the puppy dog eyes.
"Now Harry James Godric"
Sirius stood up and said "I'm going to be downstairs if anyone needs me" and all but runs out of the room.
Harry sat on the bed and sighed.
Albus looked at him and could see that something is wrong so he sat next to him and said "You know it would be easier if when you wanted to talk, we talk instead of us shouting. Talk to me Harry."
"I can't face professor McGonagall."
"Why not?"
"She'll know what happened."
"Yes she will but she won't yell or do anything except talk to you or maybe hug you, that's all Harry, trust me okay. Besides your brothers are all in the same situation and they are all downstairs."
"I'm sorry papa, still working on the whole thing."
"It's okay now let's go see if your brothers left us any food."
When they got downstairs Harry saw everyone already eating so he sat down and started to eat. After they were finished with breakfast Siri did the dishes and Harry cleaned the kitchen. He had just finished wiping down the kitchen counter when the floo alarm went off and out came Professor Minerva McGonagall.
Albus got up and gave his friend a hug and said "How are you doing Min?"
The usually stern professor smiled and rolled her eyes "Albus you just saw me yesterday, I have been fine since then. How's everyone here?"
All the boys looked away from her when she asked so Albus answered "We're all fine. Siri did you take you potion?"
"Yes I did dad, took it when I came down. Sev and Remy can confirm it."
They both nodded to their dad and Harry asked "Papa can I be excused please, I need finish my homework?"
"Go on Harry, but come down for lunch."
"Yes sir I will" Harry said as he left the kitchen.
"Is something wrong with Harry?" Minerva asked.
"No nothing is wrong; I think he just wants to get his homework out of the way especially with all the other work I gave him as a part of his grounding" Albus said not wanting Minerva to know that it was her Harry was running from.
"So how are you three doing?"
"I'm doing okay Min, just bored" Severus said.
"Let me guess you got no potions brewing or potion journals. No reading at all for Remy. And last but not least bed rest for poor Siri. What about to Harry though?"
"Harry is also grounded, which means he has to do the rest of his homework, all of his extra credit work, read his books and start on his arithmancy work so he can catch up to the fourth year students. He also has chores around the house to do. I also took his guitar away for the duration of his grounding."
"Why did you give him so much work Albus?"
"I love him but he needs to understand I have rules and he needs to follow them. I also think he thinks we might be going away so I have to show him that's not true."
"Dad I think he knows that, it's just this family thing is new to him. Sure he loves us all and has taken to us being his brothers or his papa that means he respects us a lot to listen to us but dad right now I think he really needs some alone time so he can just process this whole thing" Sev said.
"He seemed fine the last time I talked to him about this whole adoption thing."
Siri smirked "Dad do you remember that one time when all of us were about twelve thirteen and we were all happy one day and brooding the next, it's called being a teenager, it's normal dad don't worry."
"I think it's something more than that. I don't normally ask this but did you get anything Severus?"
"No not this morning dad, he wasn't thinking so loudly today."
"Give him some time dad he'll probably be back to normal soon."
"Yes I'll do that but now Remy clean the living room; Siri clean your room no magic at all. Sev get ready to go to Hogwarts."
"Yes dad" Siri and Sev say.
Remy got up and says "Yes sir."
"You are mean Albus."
"I'm not being mean Min; they have chores to do as part of their grounding."
"I know. What happened last night, everyone looks so tired?"
"Siri had a fit for lack of a better word and I guess he spooked Harry pretty good too. I found them cuddled in Harry's room this morning."
"It could be that the punishment caused the fit. What exactly happened?"
"When I went in to check on him he was shaking all curled up into a ball. I tried to get him out of it but it didn't work, I got Sev and Remy and we tried all together to calm him down but he only got calm when Harry came in. Harry had heard Siri screams and came to investigate. After Harry calmed him Siri woke up but in his mind he was a teen and thought Harry was James. Then the fit stopped and he was fine, I stayed with him till he went to sleep and I guess I fell asleep first and he snuck to Harry's room."
"It could be that the punishment made him do that. He reverted mentally in age; or maybe memories of Azkaban. You already spanked them, grounding might be too much for Siri at this time and of course he needs his brothers around him."
"You're going soft Min, if those three were still in school you would have spanked them and had them in detention for a month."
"I'm their auntie it's my prerogative to worry about them and if they need the tough love either you or I are here to give it to them. But besides Harry they are not in school and Siri needs a lot of tender loving care and I don't think grounding him after 12 years in Azkaban is wise."
A voice from the doorway interrupted them "Well then Auntie Min, I need to steal dad for a minute."
They turned and saw Sev in the doorway leaning on the door.
"How much did you hear?"
"Oh I heard enough. Dad Harry needs you."
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, I went up to see if I left something up their while I was helping him with his potion's essay and the door was locked so I knocked on his door and he said 'Unless it's dad leave me alone' he needs you dad."
Albus got up and said "Excuse me please" and walked upstairs.
Albus knocked on Harry's door and announced himself "Harry can I come in?" He heard the lock slide and the door open. He walked in and saw Harry sitting on his bed with his arms around his knees, just staring at the wall.
Albus sits next to Harry and says "Harry what's wrong?"
Harry hearing his papa's voice jumped and leaned into him and Albus hugged him, while Harry said "I got some letters today from Ron and Hermione. They were punished but I think their parents blame me."
"What do you mean, their parents blame you?"
Harry handed him the letters and said "Here read them."
-------
Dear Harry,
I'm home safe and sound thought you would want to know that. I'm glad you're okay and that you got your Aunt and Uncle to sign the adoption papers, now you never have to be with them. I'm glad you like your new house and feel so at peace there, that is how you're supposed to feel. I can't wait to see your house it sounds so nice.
Now for the part of the letter that's bad. As expected I got punished. They talked and decided it was really bad, so I got the paddle and grounded for a week. But they let me write to you guys so you could know I got in trouble and I will not be able to write to you for the rest of the week.
You finally are taking your grades seriously are you? Good for you, I told you not to take Divination but no you wouldn't listen, Arithmancy would be good, I love it. You are getting tutored in History; your grade must be bad, good luck.
Love,
Hermione
P.S. FOR ONCE YOU STARTED EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harry,
Glad you got those papers signed, better life away from those people. Sounds like the house is nice, you got to tell me all about it.
Why did you drop Divination, I'm alone in that class now, ah well it's nap time anyways in that class.
Your getting tutoring in History, I don't envy you for that, well we could always say 'Oh your dad made you get tutoring' if anyone asks.
I did get punished by the way, by dad and he used the bloody slipper, that thing stung so badly and I'm grounded for two weeks and I have to do chores around the house.
Talk to you soon mate,
Ron.
"How did you get that their parents blamed you?"
"They wouldn't have gotten into trouble at all if it wasn't for me."
"I see you're feeling guilty for getting your friends in trouble. Harry it's okay to feel like this, it's normal. Their parents don't blame you" Albus said as he manoeuvred Harry on to his lap.
Harry laid his head on Albus chest and let the presence of his papa calm him down.
"I'm sorry papa I guess I'm just not thinking right, right now."
"That's okay, my little lion I can stay as long as you need me" Albus said as he tightened his arms around Harry.
Harry just cuddled into Albus and let himself calm down.
"Papa do you remember what you said earlier?"
"When we were yelling, what?"
"How Professor McGonagall wouldn't yell at me or anything. Are you sure about that?"
"Of course I am, we were talking before I came up here and she tried to get me to let you all of grounding but I don't know yet if I'm going to."
"Please papa, I'll be the bestest behaved boy in the world. I promise. I wouldn't disobey you again" Harry said giving Albus the famous 'puppy-dog pout'.
"Stop the face I can't take it" Albus said with a laugh and buried his face in Harry's hair.
"My secrets weapon, always works."
"Well then I'm forewarned about that weapon."
"No fair" Harry pout.
"What are you four?" Albus asked as he starts tickling him.
"No (giggle) Stop (giggle) can't (giggle) breath." Harry says trying to break free.
"What did you say I can't understand you?" Albus stopped and asked.
"I couldn't breathe while you were tickling me."
"Well then, now I know how to torture you, besides spanking you" Albus said smiling.
"Papa can I ask you something?"
"Sure Harry what is it?"
"You said we have some woods on one side of the house, do you think we would be able to go camping if everyone wanted to?"
"Who would be everyone?"
"Me, you, Siri, Remy and Sev?"
"How about a family trip soon okay."
Harry nodded and said "Okay, can you stay here for little while longer please."
"As long as you want" Albus said as he hugged Harry "Do you want me to tell you a story?"
"A story about what?"
"Your parents at school" Albus said as he sat on the bed and motioned for Harry to also.
Harry sat next to him and said "Please."
Albus gathered Harry in his arms for a hug and said
"Well they were in their sixth year and James had a spell he wanted to try out, a spell so that whoever it is cast on they can only speak in one language that the caster chooses for one whole day. James wanted to try it on Sev but Lily started yelling at him in the hall. James still fired the shot but hit Min with it as she was walking towards them. She wasn't happy. Let me tell you it's a good thing I can speak French. She stormed into my office and started screaming at me with the two children behind her. I was trying so hard not to laugh at her, so I turned to Lily and asked her what happened. She looked at me and explained what happened. I looked at your father and told him to remove the spell; he tried but made it worse as Min started meowing. It really was funny but I had to remain serious, your mum however did not have my control and started laughing. Your dad looked like he wanted to laugh as well and Min went over to him and gave him a couple of swats. I was glad that your mum knew how we punished James and my sons otherwise your dad would have been mortified. I eventually took the spell off. Min yelled at him and he told her he was sorry. Then I had Min take Lily to her office to deal with her punishment which I believe was a stern talking to and a few lines on yelling in the hall. Of course your dad got a spanking and after I held him and said I forgave him. Sometime after Min and Lily came back in and we all sat down and talked for a little while. Then I sent them to their rooms and Min left."
"He was terrible."
"No he was a teenager who needs guidance and love to grow, your dad grew up around me so he looked to me like an uncle that is why he accepted my punishing him. He loved Min as his aunt and would never be embarrassed when he got punished."
Harry just cuddled to Albus.
"I'm sorry for acting like a brat earlier papa."
"It's okay Harry, but I explained to Min how you were grounded."
"That way she won't think I'm trying to be mean, speaking of which I should get back to it."
Albus stood up and said "I'll let you get back to it then, I'll have someone come up and get you for lunch, have fun" kissed Harry on the head and left.
Harry sat at his desk and considered he had finished his transfiguration, potions and history homework, so he grabbed his Charms text.
Albus went downstairs to the living room and saw Minerva sitting in a recliner reading a book with Severus and Remus in different corners facing the wall like two little disobedient children.
He sat down in the chair next to her and asked "What did they do now Min?"
"They were bickering like two five-year-olds, so I put them in the corner."
"Boys what happened?"
Both boys turned around and started to talk at the same time.
"Daddy I didn't do nothing, it was all him. He yelled at me and scared me, he was a big meanie" Remus said and pouted.
"Dad he was bugging me and following me everywhere, he wouldn't leave me alone, so I told him to get lost" Sev said.
Albus looked at the two boys "Sev how old are you?"
Sev looked at him strangely and said "You know I'm seven dad."
Minerva gasped and Albus turned to Remus "Remy how old are you?"
"Daddy, how can you not 'member I just had my fourth birthday party."
Haha a cliffy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell me what you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!
