Christmas day, the Silver angels, Alastor, Sirius, Eclipse, Harry, Hermione, Draco the entire Weasley clan, Remus, Severus, Elisa, and Skylar are all at Grimhold Place, they are gathered in the great room around the Christmas tree at 9:00 am and Kretcher was serving all the kids hot chocolate, and the Adults coffee
"It's too early" Severus groaned as he drank his coffee.
"It's Christmas Patches don't be grouchy" Skylar says giving him a big hug
"He's gonna say Bah Humbug next" Elisa says
"Pa-Princess zip it" Severus says
"Patches can Sirius have the present from you first?" Skylar asks
"Sure" Severus says
"You got me something Sev?" Sirius says
"No just returning something" Severus says Grabbing a small box wrapped with Black paper and a red Bow
"Come on Patches hurry up" Skylar says
"Dumbledore advised me against this but…. You may need it in the future" Severs says handing him the Box
"Thank you Sev" Sirius says opening the box "My BLOODY MOTORCYCLE KEYS, WHAT THE FUCK WHY DID YOU HAVE THEM?"
"They wanted Elisa to have it but I refused" Severus says
"WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE THEM BACK EARLIER" Sirius says
"I was kind of dead" Severus says
"OK BUT YOU WEREN'T A WEEK AGO" Sirius says
"I figured you could wait one week" Severus says
"Whatever where is my bike" Sirius says
"Tinker!" Severus says
"Yes Master Severus?" Tinker says popping in
"Bring Padfoot's bike from Dragon Rest" Severus says
"Yes Master Severus right away, I shall put it in the Garage" Tinker says
"Thank you" Sirius says after Remus nudges him like a parent does a child who is unhappy with their gift
"Ok Padfoot you give yours to Elisa next" Skylar says and Sirius hands her a box with over two hundred drawers Elisa immediately recognizes it as the extreme jokers prank box with extra glitter
"EEEEEEEE!" Elisa screams in delight
"Merlin, Padfoot you doomed us all" Severus says as Elisa pulls out a vial of Glitter "and you gave her more glitter"
"Prongslet said Padslet likes glitter" Sirius says
"Likes is a severe understatement" Anya says
"To Late Now" Skylar says
"Glitter!" Elisa uncorks a vial and throws it in the air
"Padslet no glitter in the house, Kretcher clean this up please" Sirius shouts
"My Hair!" Draco yells "It's in my hair"
"Of Course Master Kretcher lives to serve the noble house of Black" Kretcher says he snaps his fingers and all the glitter turns to water which evaporates
"Ok Patches do Anya's" Skylar says
"Alright children give her some room it's a big one" Severus says levitating a huge box over too Anya, which was taller than opens the box which was not wrapped and they all saw this huge hogwart replica doll house with a quidditch pitch, clothes, accessories and everything. It even came with Dolls of all the professors, that had taught there for a while, there were some hogwarts student uniforms.
"AHHHHHHHH! I LOVE IT!" Anya says
"Anya can I play with you?" Skylar asks
"Barbie and Ken can be Wizards now" Anya says happily "Of course you can, We can add this too my doll house City"
"Yay" Skylar says
"She didn't need another damn doll house" Remus says
"TO LATE NOW MOONEY" Skylar says happily
"Here Prongslet" Severus levitated a medium sized box wrapped in black paper and a Purple bow too her
"Oh Patches you didn't need to get me anything" Skylar says
"Yes I did, Now open it" Severus says
"OK" Skylar opens it and sees it is a elete Child's Potion making kit, The cauldron was all purple and it came with all necessary brewing Equipment along with lists of how to brew certain potions. "OH MY MERLIN I LOVE IT NOW I CAN LEARN HOW TO BREW POTIONS EVEN DURING THE SUMMER"
"Severus don't you think that is a bit messy and dangerous?" Sirius says
"It's equipped with parental control and a Anti explosion charms, as well as a Auto cleaning charm" Severus tells Sirius
"Fine" Sirius says everyone just starts passing around gifts and opening them and once everyone had opened what they thought was all the gifts and everything was calming down Skylar walked over to Severus
"Patches, I think it is time for my big present for Padfoot and Elisa" Skylar whispers
"Yes, Tinker!" Severus calls as he sees Elisa playing with Anya with the doll house
"Yes Master Severus" Tinker says
"Bring in the present but keep it hidden" Severus says
"Yes Master Severus" Tinker says Skylar climbs on top of the table and Severus taps his glass with his wand to get everyone's attention, they all look over to see what is happening
"Ok Guys this wouldn't be Christmas without any of you and I know we thought all the presents were done but I have one more Present but for two members of my family but they will have to share this present not only with each other but with the rest of us too and trust me there is enough to go around I hope that's ok, I wanted to give my new family something special because they gave me something so special and that is someone who loves me and who I love and a family of my own and a place I can finally call home" Skylar says tearing up
"Get on with Prongslet" Sirius says
"Bring him out Tinker" Skylar says and Tinker walks Onyx out of the hallway, everyone except for Skylar, Remus and Severus were in shock no one new how to react
"SISSY!" Onyx brushes past Tinker and runs too Elisa Tackling her
"W….What?" Elisa says before fainting
"ONYX, MY SON, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?" Sirius says
"Sissy" Onyx says shaking her "Sissy wake up"
"Uhhhh well You remember how we 'dropped' skylar off a 'dragon' right" Severus says
"Yeah?" Sirius says
"We never actually took her on a Dragon" Remus says
"I knew you were lying to me" Sirius says
"I brought him back and aged him up with my amulet, but it drained my soul energy that's why I passed out" Skylar says
"Had you not feinted the story might of eloped too Severus teaching her how too Brew on a Dragon" Remus says
"Prongslet you did this for us?" Sirius asks tears of joy in his eye
"Uncle Mooey why isn't sissy waking up" Onyx says
"Go handle your son Sirius" Remus says "Where we can wake Elisa"
"Come here Onyx Mooney will wake her up" Sirius says
"Daddy?" Onyx says unsure
"Yes my son it's me" Sirius says
"Daddy! Where's Muma" Onyx says
"UUUUUHHHHHH, hey have you met Cousin Skylar yet?" Sirius says trying to distract him
"Where Muma" Onyx demands
"Hey check this out, this is a snitch" Sirius says conjuring a golden snitch
"Uncle Sevy and Tinker gave me a Childs broom" Onyx says
"Cool huh" Sirius says "One day you will be the best beater in the world, Prongslet come here sweetpea"
"Yes Padfoot" Skylar says
"You gave me the best Christmas gift I have ever received, you gave me back my son, you gave me the gift of a second chance with raising both my kids and you didn't even think about how dangerous it was for you did you?" Sirius says
"No, I read in the books that it could kill me but I wanted to try to bring him back after what I did killing Patches and hurting Elisa like that it was the least I could do to try to fix it" Skylar says
"D…..did that really just happen?" Elisa asks as Remus revives her
"Yeah Padslet" Remus says
"Elisa are you ok?" Skylar asks walking over to Elisa
"I…..I don't know" Elisa says
"Did I break you oh no I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you I can reverse it if it is upsetting you" Skylar says
"I...I just didn't expect too ever see him again" Elisa says
"No Prongslet you are not reversing it not a chance" Sirius shouts
"I just need some time to think" Elisa says and in a purple light she's gone
"Oh No did I upset Elisa again I didn't mean to do that I just wanted to make it up to her after I killed Uncle Patches" Skylar says
"Don't worry, she's just in shock" Remus says "She'll be back i'm sure"
"I play to?" Onyx says walking to the hogwarts dollhouse with Anya and picking up the dumbledore doll
"Yeah, My name is Anya" Anya says picking up the hagrid one
"Daddy!" Onyx says happily "Daddy, Looky it you Daddy" Onyx holds up the Sirius Black Barbie doll"
"Yes son, it is me isn't it, Severus why would you give them a doll that looks like me?" Sirius asks looking at Severus
"Because…" Severus bursts out in laughter, seconds later remus joins in
"Fuck you Snivellus" Sirius says
"Looky it Snivellus" Onyx says holding up snape doll
"HA he picked that one up fast" Sirius says laughing
"Sirius, you know if Elisa hears him say that she's going too freak out" Remus says
"Oh Well we will cross that bridge when we come to it" Sirius says
"Do you want too give you're daughter a possible panic attack?" Remus says
"Snivellus, Snivellus" Onyx says
"How do you expect me to fix it Remus?" Sirius says
"Maybe you could start by telling him not too say that name, Padfoot" Remus says
"Onyx sweet baby boy of mine let's not say that anymore, I shouldn't have said it" Sirius says
"Okay, I have a uncle patches" Onyx says
"Hey my nickname for Patches is catching on" Skylar says
"Daddy, where did sissy go" Onyx says
"Mooney where did Elisa go?" Sirius ays
"I'm right here" Elisa says from the doorway, Sirius saw she was holding a small silver and Green Chest
"Elisa where did you find that?" Sirius asks recognizing the chest
"The cabin" Elisa says " Uncle Foxen gave it too me, and This" She holds up a purple tiara
"Elisa please give me that Foxen is not a good person, we need to make sure he hasn't done anything to it" Sirius says
"No, Uncle Foxen nice" Elisa says "He'd never hurt me"
"Sev little help" Sirius says looking to Severus
"Elisa, we need to make sure, you will get it right back" Severus says
"I want it back today" Elisa says
"And you'll get it back by nightfall" Severus says taking the box and crown from her
"If it is found to be uncorrupted" Sirius says
"Sirius come on, lets go check it" Severus says
"Yes let's go Remus you watch all the kids please" Sirius says leading Severus to his workshop
"Here we go" severus says setting the chest and Crown down on the table in the other room, Severus opens the Chest too reveal a Emerald green Amulet, that was attached to a silver chain, on the inside of the chest they saw two names Diana, and Elisa
"That is Diana's amulet I remember she wore it all the time" Sirius says tears coming to his eyes "Is it safe?"
"The Amulet is safe, Powerful, but safe" Severus says "Now onto the crown"
"And the Tiara?" Sirius asks
"It's" Severus's wand makes a series of beeping sounds "The Crown has been tampered with" Severus says "Finite" The beeping subsides
"Ok so we will give her the amulet but that Crown need to be destroyed at once" Sirius says
"Yeah, She's not ready for the responsibilities of knowing she's the Princess" Severus says
"Plus it's dangerous Severus" Sirius says
"That to" Severus says
"Alright you go give her the amulet I'll destroy the crown" Sirius says
"Of course" Severus grabs the chest and takes it out too Elisa, where he saw Chaos ensuing. The silver Angels aside from Anya were running around wild, Elisa and Draco were using swords like pogo sticks and Skylar was hanging from the chandelier and was trying to grab the star off of the top of the Christmas tree "Sirius you might want to get out here" Severus says Remus was going from one person to another to keep them calm
"Kinda busy be out in a minute" Sirius says "Prongslet come here please"
"Let's hope these devils don't destroy your house then" Severus says
"GLITTER!" Elisa throws glitter up in the air and it hits everyone except for Skylar who was too high for it to reach
"IT'S IN MY HAIR!" Draco says
"Kretcher clean this up and get them all wrangled into cuffs that restrict magic usage" Sirius says from the other room
"Elisa!" They hear severus yells
"Look Sevy is purple!" Elisa says
"Of course Master, Kretcher lives to serve the noble house of black" Kretcher says he snaps and all the glitter is gone and all the kids except for Anya are lined up against the wall in handcuffs that restrict the use of magic so that they are forced to sit there and behave
"Hey that's no fair" Draco wines
"Don't act like a babbling bumbling band of baboons and you won't be punished" Sirius calls from the other room
"Can some one please fix me" Severus says
"Kretcher fix Severus please" Sirius calls and Kretcher turns Severus back to his normal hue
"eek eekeek eek eek eek" Elisa and Draco start yelling sounding like monkeys
"Great now they are literally being monkeys" Severus says
"I'd stop that if I were you children unless you want the noise cancelling muzzles on you" Sirius calls calmly from the other room
"Sirius this is no way too treat a child" Remus says as Willow attempts to kick at Anya
"It's how my parents dealt with me and Regulus when we were acting like that" Sirius says "And look we turned out just fine more or less"
"Well, you shouldn't do that too them" Remus says "there are better ways too deal with a rowdy child than chains"
"Fine then take them to your house and deal with them your way by yourself then" Sirius calls calmly from the other room
"Alright" Remus says
"Hell no, I'll behave" Sniper says knowing what Remus was going too do
"Does everyone share Sniper's sentiment?" Sirius asks calmly from the other room
"I am not getting a fucking time out" Sniper says
"Sirius unchain them" Remus sighs
"Once they all agree to behave Kretcher can set them free, Kretcher go ahead and let Sniper go since she agreed" Sirius says walking into the room and leaning against the doorway wiping his hands with a rag
"Elisa will never Agree, she's you're daughter" Remus says
"Well as each person agrees they will be let free" Sirius says as Kretcher lets Sniper out of her chains
"You're being mean" Elisa says
"And you were being a brat" Sirius replies
"Fuck you" Elisa says
"Uncle Patches Elisa said that word again remember what you told me in the hospital wing" Skylar says "And Padfoot I will behave"
"Elisa Phoenix what have I told you about saying that word" Severus says "Sirius I need her to be released, we need to take a trip to the bathroom"
"NO!" Elisa yells
"Kretcher release Skylar and Release Elisa but keep a tight grip on her until Severus has hold of her" Sirius says and Kretcher does as he is told Severus grabs Elisa by the arm and drags her to the bathroom
"Does behaving included being nice?" Scout inquires
"Yes" Sirius says
"You're asking the impossible" Scout says
"It includes not hurting anyone, you will leave Anya and the other kids who are behaving alone if they don't want to play with you and you will no longer act like a wild savage child or like an animal of any sort unless you take the form of an animagus" Sirius says "And even then you will behave yourself in that form"
"So like this" Sniper says and she turns into a stag
"Yes very funny Sniper by the way you look like a young Prongs Potter" Sirius says
"Fine I'll Behave, I guess" Scout says
"If you break your word you will be put back in the chains" Sirius says as Kretcher releases Scout
"Oh stop crying Elisa, a little soap isn't going to kill you" Severus says carrying Elisa back out, Elisa was clinging too him
"Daddy?" Skylar who had not been paying attention sees Sniper in her animagus form "Daddy!" She says running over to Sniper and hugging her
"Daddy I want out" Onyx demands
"Will you behave Onyx?" Sirius asks
"I be good" Onyx says
"Kretcher" Sirius says and Kretcher releases Onyx who happily goes and continues playing with Anya
"I love you daddy!" Skylar says still hugging Sniper
"Umm, that's not James" Remus says softly "Sniper darling can you change back please" As Skylar is hugging her Sniper changes back grinning
"Wha?" Skylar says tears come to her eyes and she just apperates out
"That was probably a mistake" Sniper says
"Yeah big one I think" Sirius says "Aw Crap where did Prongslet go?"
"I have a suspicion" Severus says "Here take her" He hands Elisa to Remus and he apperates away
"I'll be good, you let me out now?" Willow says yawning
"Kretcher" Sirius say and Kretcher unshackles her, Willow goes over to a empty couch lays down and goes right back to sleep
"I'll be good too" Draco says
"On it Master Black" Kretcher says unshackling Draco
Severus apperates into his room at Hogwarts and walks out and heads to one of the Towers and ascends to the highest room, he knocks on the door but to no reply, he tries to enter but it is locked he uses the unlocking charm and walks in he sees Skylar laying in her bed in her private room or at least he was sure it was Skylar but the lump on the bed was covered by her sheets and blankets, he sits down on the edge of the bed "Go away Patches" he hears Skylar say from underneath the bed "Just leave me alone"
"What's wrong Prongslet" Severus says
"Leave me alone" Skylar says
"Not a chance" Severus says in the cocky manor Sirius black would usually use
"I'm not your responsibility Patches, leave me alone" Skylar says
"I'm not going until you tell me what's wrong, don't make me pull you out like I used to do with Elisa" Severus says
'Don't touch me" Skylar says
"Then you better start talking" Severus says
"YOUR NOT MY DADDY" Skylar shout tears in her eyes
"It's snipers Animagus form isn't it" Severus says
"NO" Skylar shouts
"Alright, I'll let you be for now, but if you're not back by dinner i am dragging you to the table" Severus says
"I'd like to see you try, I'm locking down my room when you leave" Skylar says
"Nutritional potions are no substitute for meals" Severus says walking out
