"He has got to get outside somehow."
Katie was back in heeand Oliver's flat after spending time with her father after her fifth period of time at Hogwarts this time Sirius had managed to loose a day and a half after only a week.
"Well what do you expect Kates? He's been stuck in that house every day for seven months. That could mess with anyone's head."
"I know," he said sitting down on the couch, looking at her ever expanding stomach. "God, how many bloody babies are in there?"
Oliver lauged and sat next to her. "I was reading in a baby book that in the fifth month the baby is only about one pound. Most of that is you Katie."
Katie hit him with her quaffle throwing arm. Oliver grunted.
"You're mean to me."
"That's what I'm here for. By the way did you know that you shouldn't be eating all of that junk food you have been so addicted to? It's bad for the baby. Oh and you should be getting some kind of excercise like walking because-- Katie where are you going?"
"For a walk."
Katie walked outside as the sun set. It was her favorite time of day because it reminded her of her old days at Hogwarts. As she continued to walk down the street, destination unknown to her, she saw a muggle mother and her child on a swingset. The child was a little boy no older than four. The mother looked young, not very much older than Katie. As she walked passed them the boy's mother looked her and smiled when she saw Katie's bump. Katie put her hand on her stomach and continued walking until she reached a familiar door.
"Sirius?" she called as soon as she was inside. "Sirius?"
"Kitchen!"
Katie walked in and found Remus in their as well. They were both leaning over a cauldron of grey colored liquid debating silently over what went in it. It smelled absolutely awful.
"What are you doing?" Katie asked walking over to the cauldron.
"It's nearly the full moon and Remus doesn't have any more of the wolfsbane that you made from last month."
"You can only use it for one month Sirius," Remus said.
"You didn't before."
"It was always this way with wolfsbane."
"Not the time James and I-"
"Made it? You but spices in it to make it explode!"
"Can you two stop arguing like a married couple for five minutes?" Katie walked over to the cauldron, pointed her wand and it and shouted, "vider," which emptied the cauldron.
Katie looked at the two of them as she pulled up her sleeves. " I need wolfsbane, valerian roots, knotgrass, asphodel root, daisy roots, lacewing flies-preferably dead Sirius-sopophorus bean, wormwood, pomegranate juice, and peppermint."
The two of them rummaged through the cabinents and placed them on the counters on either side of her. Kati began mixing the ingredients for about the millionth time. After twenty minutes, the potion looked like wolfsbane, smoking and green.
"Thank you Katie," Remus said, puring the potion into a goblet.
"Any time, don't hesitate to ask for favors unless I'm in labor."
"By the way," Sirius asked sitting at the table. "how is Oliver?"
"Fine, qudditch obsessed and baby obsessed."
"Baby obsessed?"
"Yes, I have discovered why baby books are pink and sold in the farthest section away from the quidditch magazines."
Remus laughed. "What do you mean?"
"Two weeks ago after I came back from Hogwarts he was complaining about my mood swing and that I was only blaming my pregnancy as a cop-out. So, I told him to read the baby books, and now he's gone from Oliver the quidditch Nazi to Daddy the baby Nazi."
"Well what do you expect?" Sirius asked. "Men don't understand you women when you're not hormonal so they sure as hell won't understand when you are."
"Thanks for the man tip, Dad."
"You're right that was a might bit creepy."
"Well the moons nearly high," Remus said, already looking pale. "If you need me I'll be under the desk in my room. Please knock first though," he said with a smile and made his way upstairs. Katie heard the door shut and ten minutes later a howl.
"Well" Katie said. "I've got to get going before Oliver sends out a search party."
"Thanks for the help."
"Anytime," Katie hugged her father goodbye and apparated home.
Katie had guessed correctly. When she appeared in the middle of the living room, Oliver was instantly on her case.
"Where have you been? I was worried sick!"
"Just a little wolfsbane issue with Remus and Sirius."
"They still can't brew that."
"Nope."
"Still arguing?"
"Yep."
Oliver laughed. "You know, I feel like I've been in your bloody mental family forever."
"Technically you have, just the fake one."
"Yea," Oliver agreed. "That one had less mentalness in it."
"'Mentalness' isn't a word."
"It's not?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Bollocks."
"And asking Fred and George to put it in the dictionary with the 'merrister' spell isn't going to work like it did with Supercallifragilisticexpialidocious."
"You knew about that?"
"You see? We were meant for each other even when we were fourteen."
Oliver kissed her. "Four months."
Katie looked up at him and smiled. "Four moths," she repeated.
A wee bit short, I just wanted to get one out after my three weeks.
Enjoy!
Until next chapter,
Luv,
Katie
