******************************************************************************************GRIMMAULD AFFAIR*****************************************************************************************
As Sirius opened the door, the teen couple got a greeting in the form of a foul rant by the portrait of a middle-aged woman. Sirius rushed past both of them cursing underneath before drawing the curtains on the portrait which stopped its rants.
Sighing the older wizard turned to teens saying "You just had the misfortune of meeting Walburga Black, my mother, and a bloody bigot! Anyway let's head in it's getting late and Bella is excited to meet you" as he gestured for both of them to follow him. Both of them did so making their way to the Parlor where Bella was nestling a cup of tea while fidgeting in nervous excitement. Hearing their footsteps she looked up and seeing them gave a smile which made Harry feel warm inside.
In a blink of a second, she flew across the room throwing herself at Harry hugging him exclaiming "HARRY- BEAR!". It was the hug that could beat Hermione and Molly to run for their money. He for some reason he didn't feel uncomfortable instead he was happy and hugged her back before gasping for air saying "n..eed….air"
Hearing this Bella broke the hug him saying "Sorry a habit of old"
He smiled shaking his head and saying "No need for that I love being hugged but only by certain people and you are one of those, I don't know why but it is what it is"
Looking at his side only to see Fleur giving him a look which said 'introduce me Now!' he nodded before quickly introducing her "Bella this is my girlfriend Fleur Delacour" Bella turned to her with a smile on her face flattening somewhat "Hello Ms. Delacour I am Bellatrix Black"
Fleur's eyes widened as she heard the name, knowing what she did about this woman in front of her as she drew her wand at the same time pulling Harry closer to herself. She was ready if anything happened. She made the mistake of dropping her guard once but she won't do it again.
Bella also pulled out her wand as a reflex. But before it could escalate any further Sirius stepped in between them saying calmly to Fleur "Ms. Delacour I understand your alertness but my cousin is innocent it was proven in Veritaserum, so I request you put your wand down" he turned to Bella "You too dear cousin of mine"
Harry was rightfully confused so he asked "Erm, Fleur what was all that?"
She looked at him in surprise before saying " 'Arry she is the most loyal servant of 'e-woo-must-not be named"
His eyes widened as looked at Sirius with a skeptic expression asking "You have something to tell us?"
Sirius nodded "Yep, but for that let's get comfortable first" gesturing towards the couch in the parlor and so 4 of them did.
He started explaining "You see pup when I was proved innocent I became Lord Black"
This made Harry frown asking "What do you mean you became lord?" his question made all three stared at him like he had grown 2 heads.
Sirius shook his head a cursed Dumbledore underneath his breath before he sighed saying "Pup it looks like you need to learn a lot about our world, in essence, a Lord of House is head of the Family and his word is the final word no one can oppose it. I will explain it all in detail but for now, you only need to know that I am Lord Black, so when I went to Gringotts to see about some house-related business I was informed about the Marriage contract" once again he saw the frown on Harry's head he paused before saying " Again I will later Pup but under that contract, Bella lost her will and view of the world to her Husband. She was her husband's slave who was You know;'s slave, this by Extention she was Dark lords slave. Under his command, she did all those inhumane things she was accused of. Without a semblance of self, so she is innocent, Bellatrix Lestrange was a Death eater but Bellatrix Black is an innocent woman wronged by my father who set up the bloody contract in the question"
Everyone sat in silence, Harry looked at Bella who was looking at him with a horrified expression which he was too familiar with then he turned to Fleur whose expressions were a mix of apology and concern.
He turned back to Bella got up and went to sit beside her only to take her in his embrace. It surprised Bella along with Fleur, he simply said "It's okay, It's over" running his hand on her back and gently brushing her hair.
Hearing his words and feeling the warmth of his hands around her. The dam she built for many years storing her emotions behind it crumbled into dust. She broke down bawling into his shoulder she cried for an hour before passing out from exhaustion.
Harry was in tears too as he held her close to him. Noticing her broken breath turn steady on his shoulder he called for help "Um... Fleur can you help me" Fleur stood up from the couch helping him to lay Bella on the couch so that she can rest. He covered her with a quilt.
Sirius smiled seeing all this before standing up saying "I will go and see if dinner is ready" making his way to the kitchen
Looking at the sleeping form of Bella, Harry turned to Fleur holding taking a hold of her hands sniffing and saying "I am glad I have you in my life and I want you to know I love you, thank you for coming into my life" capturing her lips with his own giving her a passionate kiss as a thank you.
As they parted Fleur's eyes were still close she exclaimed "Mon Dieu!" when she did open her eyes he saw the hunger in them and gulped.
It was a moment that they were lost in each other's eyes before hearing a throat-clearing both turned to look at Sirius standing in the doorway with a huge grin on his face simply saying "Let's keep the gifts for Christmas day" both understood what he was insinuating and blushed which made him chuckle a little before saying "For now let's eat and then sleep in different rooms cause I am not ready to be a God-Grandfather any time soon" this earned him a stinging hex by Harry who was crimson red along with Fleur.
Yelping and jumping back a little, Sirius waved them to follow him leading them to the kitchen they sat for dinner which was anything but delicious and that was the cause of Kreacher not being happy with guests.
Sirius looked at both of them saying "I am sorry guys, I will make sure Kreacher makes good food next time" sighing as he shook his head.
Harry shook his head chuckling "It's okay Sirius It's not that bed"
Fleur maintaining her decorum nodded along even though she wanted to puke as the food was that bad as she didn't want to be a rude guest. Sirius said "Well it looks like I will be sick if I eat this anymore and so do you two" he levitated the plates to the sink before chuckling as she saw relief flush over the two teenager's faces.
He asked them "So I think we should go to Diagon Alley tomorrow for Christmas shopping? What you say Pup ready to get Festive?"
Harry nodded thinking about how it would be the first time he would be going Christmas shopping, he was excited which reflected as he said: "Yes I am!"
Fleur smiled seeing the excitement of her boyfriend which infected her too as she answered "Oui, I would like zat too"
Sirius beamed at them saying "Alright then! It's settled tomorrow we will go to the alley!" with that all of them made their way to their respective rooms. Sirius while saying they had to be in separate rooms assigned them rooms the shared one wall.
Fleur was lying there on the bed of her room thinking about how her life changed since she met Harry and couldn't help but feel it will change even further as they continue their relationship. It was once before meeting him she used to think that she will never find anyone who loves her and here she was with a boyfriend who loved her more than she deserved.
She chuckled at the foolishness of her past self being apprehensive of accepting her love for him and now she wanted a future with him. The thought of the future brought her to the realization, she was veela, and veelas only give birth to a girl child the process of birth being very difficult. She squashed the doubt which was raising its head inside her head as she remembered the kiss that Harry gave her before. The mere thought made her hot for him at that moment and the next moment she heard a scream coming from the room next to her. It was the voice she knew better than any other which made her heart sink it was Harry's.
She bolted out of her bed and out of the room not caring what she was dressed as she went to Harry's room only to see him thrashing in his bed screaming bloody murder! She quickly went to his side grabbing him and saying " 'Arry, 'Arry, 'ARRY!" she held him in place as his thrashing ended. She kept stroking his head gently taking his head in her lap saying soothing him "It's okay it's just a bad dream it's okay"
She slowly place his head back on the pillow as she slept beside him on the bed. She continued the process of brushing his hair until his short breaths turned into a steady rhythm. Soon he was sound asleep with his hands wrapped around her and his head on her chest while she stroked his hair saying "Sleep Mon amour its all okay" with that she slept with him as he held her as tight as possible
It was then that Sirius came to check as he heard Harry's scream but was invited by the site of the couple sleeping together and decided not to disturb them, thus taking his leave without making a sound.
Next Morning
Harry woke up to the smell of Ocean Breeze he relished the smell which he loved. He also notice his pillow was soft, he tried to fluff even more. He found that his pillow was not only soft but to be in 2 parts. Thinking he was imagining things he once again tried to fluff the pillow but instead heard a soft "hmmm" moan his continued his ministration until he felt a bump on the pillow it was a small bump he thought it must be a lump of a feather so he poked it inside. That's when he heard a loud squeal which made him jump and sit up straight. Without glasses his eyesight was blurry but he saw platinum and assumed it was Fleur. Scrambling the side table on his side he found his glasses.
He saw Fleur was panting and was flushed red. He looked at her in confusion that was until she looked down. He followed her gaze and in an instance flushed too. The reason was that he once again had his hand on her breast and was not only squeezing them but had slept on them all night. Lastly, he poked her nipple to add to this she was in red cotton nightwear and didn't have her innerwear underneath it. Mortified by his action he was about to start apologizing but was cut when Fleur pulled him down by the collar and kissed him passionately and broke it to take a breath before again kissing the brains out of him.
This continued for a few more minutes after which Fleur said looking in his eyes saying "You don't need to apologize 'Arry, I am your girlfriend so it's okay if you touch my breasts" stroking his hair gently.
He shook his head saying "No, you are my girlfriend but its not right for me to do anything without your permission"
This touched the veela somewhere so deep that she was almost teary-eyed. She cupped his face saying " 'Arry you are ze only person who ever said zat cause if it was any other man who was in bed with a witch and a full-blooded veela, zey would not ask for permission before doing this or other things. This is your reward" she once again kissed him and as they broke apart her expression turned of concern as she asked "I heard you scream last night Mon Amor, I was worried so I came here only to see you zrashing and tossing. Care to explain what 'appened to you last night?"
He nodded explaining "Voldemort" he watched as she flinched a little hearing the name he continued "I saw him and he was torturing someone but it was like I was him…. It was horrible but then it all stopped as I felt your warmth on me"
Fleur had many questions but decided not to ask him now so she smiled saying "It's okay 'Arry you are not 'im and will never be 'im, I know it" with that she pecked him on the lips and got out of the bed and walked towards the door swaying her hips intentionally glancing back to see if he was looking and she was got positive as Harry's eyes were glued to her backside.
Entering her room she took a breath of relief noticing a pool between her legs in her panties. She sighed saying "I need new panties," and headed to the shower while thinking Harry didn't notice the pool in question and thanked magic for it. Thinking of it she was blushing cherry red and added "….and a cold shower"
It was around 9:30 AM when both of them came down for the breakfast and made it to the kitchen only to find Bella was trying to cook some omelet only to burn it at the same time and Sirius was reading the daily prophet. Noticing what Bella was doing Harry moved to her saying "Um….Bella, you are burning it"
She smiled at him greeting him "Good morning Harry Bear" with a hug which he returned.
As they broke she looked back sheepishly saying "I don't know how to cook"
Harry smiled stepping in front of the stove saying "It's okay I will cook the breakfast you can take a seat" S
Bella looked at him, wide eyes asking "You can cook?"
He chuckled at this and went to work making everyone some authentic English Breakfast which was lighter than normal as he knew Fleur always complained about how English food is too heavy.
As he served them while watching in anticipation as he wanted them to like it after a moment no one said anything but all three of them inhaled their food and Harry took that as a good sign, especially when Fleur and Bella asked for seconds of everything.
After an hour all four of them taking shower and got ready. Bella put a glamour on herself cause of notoriety. They made their way to Leaky Cauldron.
Stepping out of the bar Sirius turned to all his others announcing "First stop, Gringotts bank" rest of the group nodded as they made their way towards the marble building which always stood out in the cramped up alley.
As the group of 4 which consisted of Sirius made their way to the Gringotts entrance lobby which had an obsidian marble floor and gold arches in the ceiling with white marble wall, Harry looked at Fleur asking "So how are you withdrawing money from here Fleur do you have an account here?"
Fleur smiled as she loved how unabashedly unknown her boyfriend was about the wizarding world's culture and system. She chuckled saying "Non, I don't 'ave account her I will withdraw the amount from ze teller and zey will charge it from my account back at home"
He nodded in understanding that's when Sirius patted his back saying "Come on pup let's get the money and get to shopping"
Sirius and Harry headed to the nearest teller while Fleur went to the international accounts teller with Bella
Goblin teller asked them "State your purpose wizard"
Harry respectfully said "Sir I would like to make a withdrawal"
Goblin grunted in "State your name and show your key"
Harry looked at Sirius and back at goblin as his key was with Molly Weasley "My name is Harry Potter and…."
Goblin cut him grunting in anger and saying "Potter! Wait here" he spat and summoned a younger goblin.
Harry recognized him as Griphook and so greeted him "Hello Griphook how are you?"
Griphook stood there in shock as he asked "You remember me?"
Harry smiled "Of course I remember! You are the first goblin I ever met how can I forget you"
Griphook nodded throwing him a toothy grin before saying "Very well please follow me, Mr. Potter, you too Lord Black"
Both of them did so and came to the same lobby which had Account managers offices
They came to stop at end of the lobby in front of the door which had a plaque of 'House Potter' written on it Griphook bid them farewell.
They entered the room Harry was still confused about what was happening but went along with it anyway. The inside of the room was a lavish interior with gold adorned walls with a large table in between. Behind it sat a disgruntled goblin who glared at Harry grunting "So you finally decided to answer my summons, hm? Were you making a fool of us all this time?"
Harry was taken back by this and the glare was enough to make him gulp. He stepped towards the table saying "Sir I don't know what you are talking about I have not received any summons from the bank"
Goblin now looked furious as he warned in a cold tone "You are either lying or calling me a liar both of which result in your death so tread carefully wizard and if you are not lying then give me your oath!" daring him to go ahead and prove him right.
Harry was frustrated by people not believing him lifted his wand saying "I Harry James Potter of House Potter that I have not received any summons and I am not aware of any such summons what so ever, this I swear that on my life and magic, so mote it be"
Ending he followed t by casting 'Lumos'
This placated Goblin "If you are telling the truth that means someone is meddling with your owl mail, we can talk about it later I am Potter account Manager Sharpnock, I have been trying to get you here since you were eleven"
The sentence was recorded by Sirius in his mind as he knew who it was. 'That meddling old bastard! I will nail him for this!" noticing that he was getting angry he took a deep breath thinking 'Calm down ol' boy don't do anything rash right now keep collecting the evidence than when time is right to strike'
Sharpnock continued "It was so that I can give you mandated ability and Inheritance test. This is done for every Heir Apparent now don't waste my time and come her give me your blood so we can be done with this"
Harry was still confused and seeing this Sirius smiled "It's nothing pup only a basic test it will be over in a second then I will explain everything to you"
He nodded giving his hand to Sharpnock who took out a big knife and made a cut on his palm dropping the blood on two Magical parchments as on drop touch each the cut healed itself and parchment revealed the information:

Both Harry and Sirius looked at the Parchment in shock before looking at Sharpnock only to see the mirrored expressions.
"Thi… this….. This can't be right I mean I have Another contract!" Harry shouted which earned him a shocked look from others.
Sirius shook his head chuckling and saying "Pup you are last of the line of King Arthur!"
This time Harry was shocked as he asked "Like Merlin and….. Oh Merlin!" he gasped in realization he was was correct. He was the last of the line of King Aurthur ruler of Avalon and friend of Merlin, the greatest wizard to live.
"I will need to inform King Ragnok when he comes back from his visit of our kingdom," Sharpnock said leaning back in his chair looking at the Parchment.
Without saying a thing Harry and Sirius looked at the second piece of Parchment.

After 5 minutes of sitting in silence, Sirius started "Pup I think we should not say anything to anyone else but our family and your betrothed Okay?"
Sighing in exhaustion Harry nodded. Sirius smiled standing up "I think we are done for today? Can you give me a Crimsonwood & Bones contract copy and arrange a meeting with Bones family for us"
Sharpnock nodded giving the copy saying "Yes, would you like to meet after Christmas say 27th?
Sirius looked at Harry who nodded and he turned to Sharpnock answering his question. The Goblins facial expression grew serious as he looked at the pair saying "Mr. Potter your heritage is, from this moment is the most closely guarded secret of not only of Goblin Nation but the whole Wizarding World. It is better to keep it that until the time you are 17 and ready to take the lordship of all the houses. The name itself is covered by ancient magic unknown to even our race and only once to know will be those you trust or share some magic that includes marriage contracts. So take this advice and proceed with your life keeping it in your mind"
Gulping a little Harry nodded and so did Sirius before they bid Sharpnock farewell and they made a short trip to his trust vault to his vault to withdraw some of the galleons for shopping
They met Fleur and Bella at the entrance lobby. Harry gave fake smile to his girlfriend which Fleur caught on but before she can say anything Sirius announced "Now let's do the shopping as we have some rather important things to discuss when we get back home" he said in a jovial yet stern voice.
This made Fleur even more confused as she knew something happened and wanted to know what it was but left it for the moment as Sirius continued "Kay then let's do our shopping in an hour and meet each other at Leaky Cauldron"
Bellatrix snorted "It's all good Siri but don't buy me something pink or I will hex your bits off"
Sirius flashed her a mischievous smile and all four of them went in a different direction.
Sirius
Seeing all three leave he stood there as cast a Patronus sending a message "Andi and Dora come to my childhood home after an hour, It's time" sending an ethereal Grim away.
He Sighed saying "Now for the Hard Part" as he opened the Bones & Crimsonwood Contract. Upon reading it, it was clear to him that the contract was binding and also was made in 1200 and terms were that Heir of Crimsonwood was to Marry Bones woman of age regardless of the Age of an heir. Terms of marriage were familiar to that of his black contract. It was vague and thus making it such that Harry has to marry two of the last Bones Women. He folded it keeping it in his pocket and started with his shopping. He made his way to Quality Quidditch Supplies where he bought Harry a set of professional gear in his house color, next he made his way to Flourish & Blotts, he bought an advance book on every subject which he intended for Harry to learn at his pace and a book on charms for Fleur then went to buy gifts for Bella, Andi, and Dora. He bought a pink dress for Bella, new Dragon Hide Gloves for Andi, and a wand holster for Dora.
Bellatrix
Bellatrix was confused about what to buy for Harry and Fleur, for Sirius she already bought some Prank items, but she was not getting anywhere with Harry's gift as she passed Madam Malkins she remembered how bad Harry's clothes looked so she went brought him a whole wardrobe with self-fitting charm on them and a dress for Fleur. She made her way to Slug & Jiggs Apothecary, to buy her sister Andi who was a Healer so she bought her an expanded portable potions case. She wanted to buy some of the Muggle clothes for Dora and herself, but now almost done with her shopping she made her way to leaky Cauldron.
Fleur
She already had a gift for Harry in her trunk which was a book on veela culture but she was concerned as he looked too disturbed just a minute ago and at some point guilty. She had a feeling Sirius was going to explain to them what it was later at home and thinking of him, she was confused as to what to get him as he was a Lord he already had everything that when it stuck her she grinned at her idea. Next on her list was Bella to whom she didn't know very well, still, she wanted to gift her something nice that's when she had another idea for which she had to go to the muggle store. So with nothing to buy she headed towards Leaky Cauldron
Harry
Harry was lost in his thoughts. He didn't know what to do or What to tell Fleur about the contracts? What to tell the other three? What does it mean?
Sighing in frustration and disregarding these thoughts he looked around only to find himself in front of a Store named Armando's Jewels. It was a second-hand jewelry store he smiled cause if he knew one thing about girls, they liked jewelry at least what he heard from Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati along with girls of the Quidditch team.
So he entered the store looking around when an old man from behind the counter called "What can I help you with today young man?"
That startled him a little as he was on the guard. He smiled saying "Um.. I would like to gift my…girlfriend" he blushed a little before continuing " but I don't know what, can you help me, sir?"
The old man smiled saying "Of course that's what I am here for aren't I" with that he went to the rack behind him a brought a case with several necklaces. One of those was a silver necklace with Sapphire stone with the silver Celtic vine around it making a pendant. It had an elegance about it which reminded him of one he was buying it for he smiled and told the shopkeeper to keep it aside.
He then looked for Bella's gift around the shop and that's when his eyes went on a bracelet with Amethyst in the middle and rose vines making the band of it he quickly ordered the shopkeeper to keep it aside along with the necklace. While he had one last girl to buy something for, Dora. He knew she was tomboyish but she was a girl after all and taking his chance he bought a broach with of badger holding a Hazel gem with that done he was about to pay for the items but before he made shop keeper put some charms on the necklace which would alert him if she was in danger with that he left but not before buying an Onyx Broach for Sirius.
Now only after half an hour the group met at Leaky cauldron and from there they headed toward the muggle shopping center or shopping mall, which took only half an hour, and now they were back at Grimmauld where Andi and Dora also came shortly after them
Everyone was sitting in the parlor, Sirius sitting at the high back chair near the fireplace sighed standing up only to pause and look at Harry than Fleur then back to Harry before he started "Pup, there are some things I need to inform you about so please let me finish and then you can ask anything you want, okay?" getting nods from everyone he continued.
"Pup, in older days, and by that I mean centuries ago the Wizarding world was smaller and spread thin all over the world. Hence Pureblood families used to arrange the marriages of their children to others by using contracts which were used either for getting political power, money, or alliance house against another house. Another reason was the protection of the family back then just like present magic scared the muggles but there was no Statue of Secrecy and so the magical were hunted. This has always been the case so back then marriage contracts were the norm. These were magically bounding contracts and if not fulfilled the ones who are to marry forfeit their life and magic."
At this Harry's stomach dropped as he knew what it was all about the hoped what he was thinking was not true, he prayed to Merlin for it not to be true his throat was suddenly dry, he wanted water but his mouth failed to open.
"So with that out of the way let's get to what it is all about, First of all, I would like to inform all of you that Pup's full name is Harry James Potter-,Pendragon- Gryffindor-Ravenclaw- Crimsonwood."
All four of the women looked at Harry with wide eyes and mouth agape, he could only give a small smile in return as he dreaded knowing what was coming next.
"As it stands he has Two marriage contracts" hearing this Fleur's mind raced to a conclusion but not wanting to make the same mistake again she calmed herself as she wanted to hear what was coming and also what would Harry decide after that, Sirius continued "First is marriage contract for Harry to marry Amelia Bones and Susan Bones, it was drawn by his ancestor Xavier Crimsonwood. It was a last-of-the-line contract and hence this was passed to Pup. The second Contract is with Bella and Dora.
This was drawn by his grandfather and mine. I don't know the reason but both contracts are binding to that I would also like to add that you all are engaged to be married by Harry's 17th birthday and as I said if not fulfilled you all will forfeit your life." With a heavy heart, he took his seat.
Harry was under a barrage of emotions but he also wanted to talk to 3 women alone he was still trying to sink all that he learned in. He stood up asking "Sirius and Ms. Black can you give me Fleur, Dora, and Bella some time in private?" with the courage he could muster. Both Sirius and Andi nodded standing up and leaving
Harry sighed in relief and now looked at three women that were looking at him so he stood and went beside Fleur. Taking her hand he looked in her eyes saying "I didn't know about this Fleur, I….." He choked on his word as feeling of dread filled him. He felt his tears flowing out of his eyes fighting through it he sniffed continuing "I love you and this changes nothing at all. I still love you and will always love you" he looked at her he was scared out of his mind that she will think he doesn't love her as he has other women in his life.
Fleur looked in his eye only to find love, concern and commitment. She was once again berating herself that she thought he would ever leave her. The warmth of his hand and words was once again reassuring her that he will always love her. Aside from that, she had no qualms about this contract things she grew up in a Magical household so she was familiar with the possibility of this happening. Still, she was not keen on sharing her Harry with others but it was something she will do cause she loved more than anything. She also knew that sometimes she would get jealous but having Harry was all that mattered to her.
Cupping his face she gave a teary smile saying "I know Mon Amour, I love you too and I still don't know 'ow but I will try and share you wiz zem. Just promise me not to play favorites between us, Oui?" adding a little mirth but still a stern tone to the last line which made him smile and nod.
He turned to Dora and Bella who looked with tears in their eyes and said "I promise I will not play favorites and love you all equally but fully. I would like to know all four of you better and I am sorry you 3 are stuck with me. Especially you Bella you just got free but were roped in this marriage contract mess once again, I am sorry"
He turned to Dora "Dora you are the most amazing person I ever met and I am sorry you don't have a chance of finding someone equally amazing who you love and are stuck with me, I am sorry"
"Harry Bear we are lucky that we have to marry you, I suffered from that monster cause my parents were power-hungry bigots and Dora here was always used by boys who used her for her abilities. We know you are not that and the fact that you are sorry for us is enough to prove our point" Bella smiled with her eyes softening and Dora nodded in agreement.
"I agree with Bella and I also think you are the best any witch can hope for," Dora said with a wink that made Harry blush. All three laughed at his reaction, Bella "is it that easy to get him?" looking at Fleur and Dora who nodded laughing even louder Harry mumbled under his breath "Great I have these 3 and not mention 1 more are going to make my life worse" but a small smile as he watched all the ladies laugh as he thought 'but in a good way
Hearing all the laughter Andi and Sirius returned to the room only to find 3 witches laughing madly and a very red Harry standing aside. Sirius gave a wicked smile saying "Its only been minutes and you broke him how the hell will he survive his whole life"
This made Fleur smirk standing up and going beside him. She took his hand into her's interlacing their fingers she smiled at him before turning to Sirius saying"Like zis" while Dora followed her lead taking his other hand and Bella hugged him from behind
"Amelia will …" before he could complete Andi anticipating he was about to say something crass flicked her wand casting non-verbal 'Silencio' on Sirius's mouth. He didn't realize it and kept moving his mouth without any voice coming out of it. This made for a great source of laughter for the whole room.
