AN: So, unpopular opinion. I'm not a fan of Ron. I'll let that sink it. Don't hate me please. I just never liked Ron's character. When they described him in the book, at first I was like, oh cool he'll be a great friend to Harry and he is in the book, really he is. But then there is scenes where they talk about how he stuffs his face with food and I think ewww because I have a brother just like that and I hate watching him eat. Then there is also moments were Ron is rather childish and yes I know he is in fact a child throughout most of the book. I understand why he is the way he is. He has many siblings and always had to share with others, so he has insecurities and he gets jealous. So I get why he is the way he is, but I just never really liked him. He was always so envious of those around him. He treated Hermione terribly a times simply because she did something he didn't agree with. He was also very mean to those who have things that he wants. For example, when Ginny has a boyfriend he is all upset about it and acting like a child having a tantrum, but then he dates Lavender and acting inappropriate, shoving his relationship into everybody's faces. I know many of you don't agree with me and that's fine. We all are in titled to our opinion. In my opinion I do not like Ron, I find him very hard to like. I find him immature, childish, rude, and sometimes just disgusting. That is just my opinion.
Now, the reason I am saying this is because of my book. If you couldn't tell from the summary, this does not follow the books. In this Voldemort died the night he went to the Potters house. Neville was raised by James and Lily, while Draco was raised by Sirius and his wife after Draco's parents were imprisoned for being death eaters. In this Draco is very much not the Draco you know, even going as far as changing his name from Draco Malfoy to Drake Black, but that's because he was raised completely differently than he would have been with his real parents. So, from early on Harry is best friends with Draco and Neville. Ron will be in this, but he will not be Harry's friend. I might do some Ron bashing. I don't like Ron, so I'm going to portray him badly. He is going to be the enemy in this book. You're going to hate my portray of Ron. I am warning you now. If you do not like the sound of this then please don't waste all of our times reading this just to leave a bad review. I am all for criticism, but when it's just you hating on my story because it's not something you like or agree with then that isn't something I appreciate. So please, if you don't like what I'm going to write then don't read it. I do hope you readers do enjoy it, but again, I understand if this isn't something you like to read.
This is going to be completely AU, I may bring some aspects of the book into this, but who knows. I'm going to do the first few chapters of them in their first year then fast forward to their fifth year. Here is the relationships that will be in this book: Regulus/Severus, Sirius/OC, Lily/James, Draco/oc, Harry/oc, Neville/Hannah, Fred/oc, Charlie/oc, Hermione/oc, Ginny/oc, and Ralf/Luna.
Another unpopular opinion, I was not a fan of Ginny and Harry. I thought Ginny just had a hero worship for Harry, loving him because he was the boy-who-lived and I think Harry loved Ginny because she was Ron's sister, so he felt like he had to end up with her. So I am not putting them together. Also, you did read that first ship correctly. I always disliked Snape's love of Lily. I thought he was more obsessed than in love with her, so in this I am making it a little cliché by saying Snape was gay and he was clinging so tightly to Lily, letting everyone know he loved her because he didn't want anyone to suspect that he was gay. He does love Lily, but he sees her as a sister. He and Regulus are together and adopted a young girl named Tatiana, who's parents had been killed by death eaters. Regulus always knew he was gay, but kept it hidden because of who his parents are, but it was his love of Sirius and Snape that eventually got Regulus to turn against Voldemort. And no not love of Sirius as in romance. He loved Sirius as his baby brother. So, if all of you are still interested after this whole big spiel I just wrote then carry on to the actual story down below. I hope you enjoy it.
Halloween night, almost ten years ago, Voldemort was killed. The wizarding world thought they knew how the night played out. James Potter, Lily Potter, and Sirius Black knew that Peter Pettigrew was a traitor, so they made him secret keeper and made Voldemort walk into a trap. THe three combined together was enough to kill him. That was what the world was led to believe, but the truth was so much deeper.
They only knew about Peter because they had a legimen among them that had read Peter's mind. They had set up the trap, giving Peter the role of secret keeper over where Lily and James' safe house was. But they couldn't just kill Voldemort right then and there. They needed to destroy his horcruxes first. So they led Voldemort there and while he was there, the death eaters that were secretly working with the order started destroying the horcruxes. That weakened him incredibly and took him off guard long enough for James, Lily, and Sirius to use the death curse on him together. He stood no chance.
The real death eaters were all collected and thrown into Azkaban and Harry Potter became the-boy-who-lived, while Neville Longbottom became the-boy-who-almost-was, for if it wasn't Harry that Voldemort visited that night it would have been Neville.
But the world didn't need to know all the details. What they did know was that the order knew of Peter's betrayal, they set up an elaborate ploy to get Voldemort to come to them and overpower him. They didn't need to know about the legimen or of the death eaters who betrayed Voldemort. All they needed to know was that Voldemort was dead.
As time went on the love for the Potters and Sirius didn't die. The world knew those three were the ones who truly saved their lives and so the world looked upon them as heroes, which carried on to their children. Neville Longbottom, unfortunately, lost both his parents the night before Voldemort's defeat. Neville had been staying with the Potters under their protection when they had heard the news. The Potters ended up taking Neville in, adopting him as their own. Neville could have gone to live with his grandmother or even his multitude of aunts and uncles, but Alice and Frank Longbottom had wanted the Potters to raise him if anything happened to them.
Neville wasn't the only child adopted into the families of one of the heroes. Sirius Black also adopted a child. A child the world despised simply for who his parents were. Draco Malfoy. He was the same age as Sirius' youngest set of twins. Just an innocent baby. When his parents were rounded up and thrown into Azkaban, Sirius swore he would raise Draco right. He wouldn't let another pureblood fall victim to their parent's beliefs. Both boys, without their real parents, were still very much happy children. They had a good childhood and they were both extremely close to each other and with Harry.
Now, ten years later, Sirius Black was getting ready for the morning that he would be sending his two youngest daughters and his adopted son off on the Hogwarts express for the first time just as James and Lily were getting ready to drop Neville and Harry off for their first year.
"Okay, I got the trunks, I got the pets, I got the wands, uh… let's see… Oh! Their backpacks! Wait, no, I got those. Money? No, no, their coin bags are right there." Madigan Black, previously Scamander, watched husband scurry across the room with an amused smile on her lips. She has been married to Sirius for almost twelve years now and the two were still very much in love.
Madigan was a beautiful woman. Her skin was tan from years out in the sun and was covered in freckles. She had red curls that seemed to have a mind of its own, going in every which direction and a bit unruly, going down to her waist and kept back from her face with a simple black ribbon. She had big doll-like green eyes that were the color of the leaves in the forest. She was a short girl, no more than five feet even and very slim. She had small round breasts, narrow rounded hips, a slender waist, long slender legs, a small plump bum. She was often described as a little doll, so small and fragile looking. Sirius loved every bit of that woman.
"What am I forgetting?" Sirius questions, more to himself than his wife. Madigan in turn, truly loved Sirius. He grew so handsome over the years. He kept his shoulder length black hair, but no longer does he straighten it, he allows it to be it's usual curls, his curls much more calm and elegant than hers. He had pale ivory skin and dark gray almond shaped eyes that looked like storm clouds. He had a nice aristocratic nose, a strong jaw which had a bit of stubble starting on it. He was tall and muscular, but also more on the lean side. He still loved to dress the muggle way. His fashion no longer leans more on the side of leather jackets and biker boots. He now wore a black button silk dress shirt, black trousers, black dress shoes, and a nice black jacket. Being an Auror meant he had a lot of eyes on him, so he often liked to be dressed nice and respectfully. He wanted to be taken serious and not like the rebel teen he was when he was younger.
Madigan can't seem to stop herself from walking over to him, reaching up, and running her fingers through his curls. The two were like magnets, constantly being pulled towards the other, constantly needing to touch one another. Sirius stopped his rambling, his eyes solely on his wife. A small loving smile works its way to his face. His hand reaching up to capture the hand wandering in his hair and kissing the knuckles softly. "I love you." The two whispers simultaneously, causing them to chuckle. Sirius wraps his arm around Madigan's waist, lifting her up and placing her onto his shoes, helping with the distance between their heights. He was a good foot taller than her after all. He lowers his head and kisses her. Even after all these years the feeling of his lips on hers still had the same effect as it did when he first kissed her. It was like fireworks going on beneath their lips, electricity rushing through their bodies, their stomach fluttering with butterflies, their head drifting up to the clouds.
They pulled apart, Sirius rests his forehead against hers. "I love you." He whispers once more, a deep love shining in his eyes.
"I love you." She whispers back, giving his lips another sweet but short kiss.
"What am I forgetting, little Red?" He asks.
"The kids." Sirius' brow furrows.
"The kids… I need to get them on the train and to get them on the train they'd need to be on the platform."
"It'd certainly help if they were up and on that platform." She grins. Sirius chuckles and gives her another kiss.
"It was not this hard with Alex and Marlene." The smile faltered ever so slightly on Madigan's face.
"They are in America. We never had to worry about getting them ready for school because they're not with us."
"Madi..." Sirius sighs. "I'm sorry." He says. They had two sets of twins. Alex and Marlene were the older twins and they were currently living with Madigan's aunt Queenie. "But you know it's for the best. We can't help Alex. Queenie can. It's not forever. Once he gets control over his gift or finishes his schooling then he'll be home again. I promise. And with him comes Marlene." He strokes her cheek. "It's not forever."
"I know. I just… I miss him."
"I know." Someone clears their throat, causing the two to be snapped out of their bubble. They look over towards the stairs to see three very amused children, all dressed and ready to go.
"Were you just going to let us sleep the day away and go to the station without us? Can't very well send us off to Hogwarts if we're in bed still." Katherine Black, or better known as Kat, says from where she stood on the landing. She was a mixture of her parents. She had her father's black hair going to her mid-back, but it had the same body as her mother's, complete chaos. She had her father's pale ivory skin, but her mother's dark green eyes. She had her mother's soft jaw line, but with her father's aristocratic nose. She was also short and slender much like her mother.
"Did you make any breakfast?" Fawn asks from where she stood beside her twin. Fawn Black was not an identical twin. She looked much like a younger version of Madigan. All her looks were that of her mother. She had her mother's crazy red curls, which went to her mid-back, her mother's tan freckled skin, her mother's soft jaw and small nose, her mother's big eyes and small slender body. The only thing she had that was her father's was his beautiful gray eyes. The rest was completely taken from Madigan.
"No, they were both too busy snogging." Draco says with a snicker from where he stood behind the girls. Draco Malfoy, or as he often liked to be called Drake, was a carbon copy of his father at his age. He had the same platinum blonde hair, which was cut short and straight. The same light gray eyes and pale complexion. He had the same sharp and pointed features. There was only one difference between him and his father in appearance and that difference made a world of difference. His eyes weren't the coldness that his father's held, but a deep loving warmth that seemed to wrap those who looked at them in a warm comforting blanket and his face although sharp had a softness to it and when he smiled, which was often and always in a gentle way, it light up his entire face. He was a very sweet and loving boy, which could only be thanks to how Sirius and Madigan raised him. They had instilled kindness, generosity, understanding, and selflessness into him very early on. They wanted him to not be like his father or to fall into the same very pureblood death trap that Sirius' own brother narrowly escaped from. Drake Black knew love and tenderness that he would have never learned with having Narcissca and Lucius as his parents.
"Drake Black, you watch that mouth before I talk soap to it again." Madigan scolds, her face pink. Kat giggles, still remembering the last time Drake had soap stuffed into his mouth for being crude. He took a bit too much after his Uncle Siri. Sirius, for his part, was just trying to keep his laughter hidden from his wife knowing she'd more than likely turn around and use that same very threat on him and she always made good on her threats.
"We got breakfast in the kitchen." Sirius smiles, shooting Drake a wink behind his wife's back, earning a big grin from the happy boy.
As Drake passed Sirius, he was grabbed, earning giggles from the boy as Sirius began to tickle him. "Stop! Uncle Siri!" Drake giggles.
"Uh uh, this is your punishment for being a cheeky bast-"
"Sirius Orion Black." Madigan cuts in, causing both males to look at the redhead with sheepish grins. "I will get that bar of soap boys."
"He started it." Sirius says, pointing to Drake, causing Drake to pout.
"Sirius, you are almost thirty-one-years-old, do act like it."
"If you wanted a mature old man then you should have married my brother." Sirius says, wrapping his arms around her once more and kissing her.
"Erg, dad, come on. It's too early for you to be a sap." Kat says with a roll of her green eyes. Sirius chuckles, giving Madigan a final peck on the lips before scoping his daughter up into his arms. Kat laughs, wrapping her arms around his neck as he carried her princess style into the kitchen.
"Promise me, Kitty-Kat that you will keep saying that even when you're my age. That you'll still find kissing disgusting." Kat rolls her eyes and looks her dad dead in the face.
"But how will I be able to give you grandchildren if I do not kiss or more with a boy." Sirius nearly drops her.
"You better not be kissing no boy Katherine." Madigan giggles at the two of them, while Drake grins. Fawn blushes brightly, ever the shy and innocent of the two. Fawn took after her mother, painfully shy and very innocent. Kat took after her father, confident, outgoing, and very very cheeky.
"But, daddy, boys are so nice." Kat grins, fluttering her lashes at him.
This time he did drop her, but he did so gently and pushed her towards Madigan. "Take her, she's going to give me a heart attack and I'm thirty." Sirius says before shuttering like he has done ever since he turned thirty and mentions it.
Madigan just ignores their antics, if she didn't then she'd be there all day listening to the two banter back and forth. "Eat your breakfast quickly and go brush your teeth once more. We need to leave soon. I want to be there before the crowd really grows." All the kids begin to eat at that. Sirius moves behind Madigan and once more wraps his arms around her, resting his chin on top of her head.
"We did pretty good, little Red. They're growing up, but they grew up healthy and loved. There's not much else we can do from here except to be there when they need us." Madigan hums in response, leaning back against him. "Good news is we get the house all to ourselves again." He says in a deep husky voice, his hand moving beneath her skirt to lay against her stomach.
"Dad!" Came two girls followed by,
"Uncle Siri!"
Just across the street at the Potters' residence James and Lily were also getting their sons ready for school. "Neville, do you have your toad?" Lily asks as she picks up more of the boys' toys.
"Harry, don't forget your money bag." James says as he hands over the velvet bag.
"Neville, honey, do you have Trevor?"
"No, Aunt Lily, I can't find him." Neville says, tears starting in his eyes.
"I told Algie that a toad was a bad call. No one has toads anymore." James whispers to his wife.
"Hush it, Lily. Neville loves the silly thing." Lily says. Both of them had grown up since the war and much like their friends, they grew quite attractively. Lily and Madigan were often confused as sisters. Lily had red curls and green eyes, but that was as far as similarities went. Lily's hair had nice curls, all tame and elegant, her green eyes were more like emeralds and almond-shaped. She had soft pale skin and full lips painted red. She was tall and willowy, standing at 5'7". She had nice rounded hips, long toned legs, slim waist, medium sized round breasts, a nice tight ass. She was much older looking than Madigan, Madigan still looked as if she could pass as a twenty-something, while Lily looked like a grown woman, but both girls were equally beautiful in their own ways. James' hair was still a mess, but not a beautiful chaotic mess like Madigan's. His hair looked as if it went through a tornado. It was black and standing up and sprouting off in random directions, which wasn't helped by his constant need to run his fingers through it and mess it up even more. He had dark hazel eyes behind round glasses. He was pale with a nice aristocratic nose and narrow face. He was very tall and skinny, looking a bit too lengthy. He did have muscles, but his slightly awkward skinny frame tended to hide it. Still, he was very attractive with his five o'clock shadow and boyish face.
The couple didn't start off in love like Madigan and Sirius, those two knew they were meant to be together the second they looked at each other, it was truly love at first sight. For Lily and James, James felt love at first sight, but Lily only felt hate and anger. It took a long time for her to see the true James and when she did she couldn't stop herself from falling deeply and madly in love with him. They had started off as enemies and turned into the best of lovers. There isn't a single thing they wouldn't do for each other.
"Oh! I see him!" Harry says, snapping the couple from their reminiscent of their Hogwart days. Harry lunges and snatches up the toad, holding him tightly in his arms. "I got him, Nev!" Harry calls, walking over to his brother, he refuses to let anyone call Neville anything different.
"Thanks, Harry." Neville sniffles, giving his brother a hug before snatching up the toad.
"Keep him with you, Neville." Lily says. She loved Neville as much as she loved Harry. She saw a lot of Frank in him. He looked just like him after all. He was a bit on the pudgy side due to his love of food, but he was medium height like Frank with Frank's straight brown hair and dark brown eyes. He had a round face with slightly chubby cheeks. Lily insisted that he just still had his baby fat, but James knew Neville was a bit on the chubby side unlike with Harry, who no matter how much he ate remained skinny. Neville was also a lot like Frank in the sense that he was just an overall anxious person, constantly worrying and stressing over things. He was also very good at forgetting things, which only added to his anxiety. He was a tad clumsy, constantly knocking things over and hurting himself. Harry was a good big brother though and was always there to protect Neville and help him out. He also helped make Neville feel confident and proud of himself. He had no insecurities thanks to Harry.
Harry looked much like James did at his age. He was small for his age and skinny with black messy hair that looked constantly windblown and untidy. He had Lily's emerald green eyes, however, and the pale skin of both his parents. He had a slim face, knobby knees, and round glasses much like his father. He was, however, not confident like his father. He hated the spotlight, preferring to blend in and go about his day rather than to have constant attention on him. He was smart and talented, but he just wanted people to see him for who he is rather than who his parents were. Neville helped him with his insecurities much like how Harry helped him. He also helped take some of the spotlight off Harry, despite hating attention just as much. Harry was more like Lily in that sense, confident, but no way near arrogant like his father. His father had greatly matured over the years as did Sirius, but the men still had some arrogance and cockiness to them that Harry simply did not have.
"Okay, do you boys have everything?" Lily asks.
"Yeah." Neville says, still clutching Trevor.
"I think so."
"Wonderful." Lily sighs in relief. Getting the two ready was always hard work. She still has no idea how Sirius and Madigan handled three nevermind five when the other twins visited.
"Alright, let's get going, come on kids, we have a platform to get to." James says.
"I think your dad is more excited than either of you." Lily jokes, giving James a loving smile. "Don't put too much pressure on them, James." She whispers to him. "Harry isn't you and Neville isn't Frank or Alice. They are their own people and they'll make their own choices, so go easy on them, okay?"
"I will." James promises before giving her a kiss. "Alright, let's get moving out."
It was almost an hour later when both families found themselves on the platform. James and Sirius had joined each other at the hip as soon as they spotted one another. If they weren't glued to their wives' sides then they were glued to each other's. The two had their head bent and were whispering to one another.
"It's been almost twenty years since they've been friends and even after all this time they are still scheming together and getting up to no good." Lily comments as she sees their husbands huddled together.
"What do you think they're up to this time?" Madigan asks, looking tired already with the possibilities.
"Probably something to do with the kids. I swear, James is like a child. He was practically bouncing this morning. He was more excited than the boys." Lily laughs.
"You're telling me. Sirius was running around the house like a mad man. Nearly forgot that he had to get the kids along with their things. If they weren't such good kids then he'd surely have forgotten them in bed this morning, but instead they had gotten up on their own and gotten ready." Lily laughs, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
"How did we end up with those two for husbands, Madi? A couple of children they are."
"Simple. You ran into James on the train and he got enchanted to your beauty." Lily burst into giggles at Madigan's words.
"What?"
"That's how James tells it. He walked onto the train and there before him was an angel sent from the very heavens to fill his life with love and joy."
"Merlin, James is such a sap." Lily chuckles. "But, then again, Sirius is no better. The way he tells it is that you and he got partnered up in Potions and the second he looked at you it was as if the world disappeared and the only thing that truly mattered was you. You were sent to him as a beacon of hope, hope for a future free of pain and filled with love." Madigan rolls her eyes.
"He's lucky I love him." The girls chuckle. "I mean, to put up with his poetry and awful cheesy lines." Lily grins.
"But you love him."
"Words can't describe how much I love that silly dog." Lily giggles at the choice of words.
"Just as I love that crazy stag." Lily's smile falters slightly. "But I still can't help, but feel bad for the third member of the Marauders." Madigan's smile fell at those words. Peter and the other death eaters were all imprisoned, many of them having died from the horror of the dementors. Remus had taken Peter's betrayal very hard. While James and Sirius went on with their lives and had their families, Remus really had no one. He wasn't married, he didn't have any kids. All he really had was Peter, his roommate and close friend. Both Lily and Madigan had tried to help him, but Remus hated charity. He's been living on his own, struggling for money, refusing the help of his friends. He's been in a deep depression for awhile. Even Regulus had tried to help him, but Remus was stubborn in his own right. He didn't want them to help him. He didn't want them to comfort him. He just wanted to be alone in his misery, which hurt them nearly as bad as it hurt him.
"Sirius offered to let him stay with us." Madigan says in a quiet voice, not wanting to be overheard by the children, who all didn't truly understand why Remus looked so frail and empty. "Remus doesn't seem to understand it's not charity we're offering. We're his friends, we love him. We don't want to see him suffer so much."
"Remus needs a woman. Someone to bring so light to his life. To make him happy again."
"You know how Remus is, Lily. He doesn't want to condemn anyone to his life. He doesn't think he's worthy of love simply because he's a werewolf." Madigan sighs.
"You okay?" Sirius asks, coming over to wrap Madigan up in his arms. He was always able to feel when she was upset. He was talking to James when he just felt that pulling sensation in his chest. When he looked up he had seen a sad look on Madigan's face and had come over instantly.
"We were just talking about Remus." Sirius's arms tightened around her.
"He'll be okay, little Red. There's nothing we can do for him until he's ready for us to help. It kills me to watch him suffer, love, but he won't let us help him. There's not much we can do." Sirius tells her, nosing her temple before kissing it.
"I know."
"Hey, today is supposed to be a happy day. Our kids are growing up. They're going to Hogwarts for their first time. No sad thoughts." James says. "We'll deal with Remus soon, but for now, let's enjoy today, okay?"
"Okay." Lily agrees. Madigan nods in agreement and Sirius gave James a thankful smile before giving Madigan a sweet kiss.
"Can you two go even an hour without needing to touch each other and kiss?" James asks, more amused than annoyed.
"No, they really can't. They're awful." Drake says from behind them.
"Pretty disgusting. Constantly snogging. We'll walk into any room and find them tangled up together with their tongues down each other's throats." Kat adds, while Fawn is bright red behind them.
"Awful. Shame on you two. Exposing these innocent children to such acts." James says, causing Madigan to blush and Sirius to roll his eyes.
"Innocent? Those two are anything but innocent. That one nearly made my heart stop this morning. She was talking about babies for merlin sake. She's going to give me gray hair before I even hit my forties." Sirius says, pointing at his ebony haired daughter, who had that stupid grin on her face that he hated, the same grin he always had at her age. Irony at its finest. He almost felt bad for his parents, almost, not really. Having to deal with him was their punishment. He can't really think of what he did to deserve such a sassy little girl. He loved her as much as she frustrated him.
"Oh, please, Padfoot, look at that little face." James coos, pinching Kat's cheeks, earning himself a kick to almost his crotch. "Hey, watch it! Just because Lily flower and I aren't planning for more kids doesn't mean I want to lose the goods." Kat grins.
"Then don't pinch my cheeks, prat."
"Katherine." Madigan scolds.
"Blimey, Pads, she really is the mini you. I feel so bad for you, Madi." James says with a jokingly humorous face.
"Yes, two Padfoots running around. Add in Drake…. Are place is a mad house." Madigan sighs. Sirius rolls his eyes.
"Oh please." Sirius says. "You love us. Love me." He gives her another kiss, this one more deeper and maybe a tad inappropriate in front of children nevermind crowds.
"Ew! Dad!" Kat cries, covering her eyes. Drake rolls his eyes and looks away, Fawn turns bright red and completely turns her back, Harry snickers, and Neville blushes and stares off at the train.
"Merlin, you two." James laughs, pulling Sirius off his wife. "Don't swallow her now." Sirius only laughs, licking his lips and eyeing Madigan over like a ravenous wolf. "Merlin, those poor kids if this is what they're witnesses to every day. Run kids! Get to the train! Save yourselves from the scarring your parents are trying to give you!" That broke up the awkwardness, getting the kids to laugh. Madigan hits Sirius' chest, causing him to give a wolfish laugh.
"Siri, there are children present. We are not like this normally." Madigan tries to reassure her friends.
"Uh huh." James grins. Madigan blushes bright red and hits Sirius' chest once more.
"Ow, woman, stop hitting him."
"Then stop misbehaving. You're making us look like terrible parents."
"Who cares if we sha-" She covers her mouth, practically melting from embarrassment.
"I take back what I said." Lily speaks up. "You have it worse. At least James knows to filter himself around the kids and to keep his hands to himself. Sirius still acts like he's that seventeen year old at Hogwarts, dragging your poor self into broom closets."
"Hey, she enjoyed those broom closets."
"Yeah, so much so that you got her knocked up in her sixth year." Lily points out, causing Sirius to actually blush.
"Well…" He didn't have a response to that. They are pretty bad. He was like a horny bunny, needing to mate every second of every hour. "Sorry that I love my wife. Prongs, you need to do better." James snorts.
"No, Pads, you need to relax more. Merlin, no wonder you ended up with so many kids."
"Can we please stop talking about our sex life with her children right here?" Madigan asks, equal parts exasperated and embarrassed.
"Aw, we're just joking, little Red." Sirius coos, kissing her cheek. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you." He says more seriously this time. "We're in public and in front of the children. I'm sorry, I'll behave. Promise." He says, kissing her cheek once more and pulling her into his arms. "I'm sorry, love." She huffs.
"You're lucky I love you."
"I know." Sirius says in a serious tone, causing Lily and James to smile. "I'm really lucky to have you." He gives her a quick kiss, rubbing his nose gently against hers and kissing her forehead before pulling away. The kids had wandered off slightly, grouped up and talking to one another. "Alright kids." Sirius says, clapping his hands together. "It's almost eleven, you five need to get on the train. Kat, look after Fawn, Drake look after the girls. If there is any problem you owl us. Fawn, please love try to come out of your shell a little and make friends. Kat, please for the love of Merlin do not get expelled on your first day, try to behave for my sake so I don't have to suffer from the abuse of your mother-ow!" He whines as Madigan slaps him upside the head. "See!" The group laughs. "Drake, no matter what those jerks at school say, be the bigger man. Do not start any fights, don't let anything they say get to you. You are an incredible kid, we're proud of you, and even if you end up a Slytherin, we will love you. Anything else Mads?" He asks.
"Have fun and learn as much as you can. We'll see you for the holidays. Now hugs and kisses." They headed over to their parents. Kat wraps her arms around Sirius, while Fawn hugs Fawn. "Love you honey, please try to make friends. I know it's hard and scary, but you'll greatly appreciate having more than these four as friends. Especially if you end up a Hufflepuff like me." Fawn nods and Madigan kisses the top of her head.
"Love you daddy. I'll try to not kiss any boys this year." Sirius groans.
"Early grave, Kitty-Kat, early grave." He mumbles before kissing her forehead. "Love you, sweetheart, please stay out of trouble."
"I'm your daughter."
"I know, that's what worries me." The two laughs. Madigan and Sirius trade daughters.
"Behave, Katherine, do not try to take your father's legacy. One group of marauders were enough, trust me." Madigan says as she hugs her daughter.
"There can never be enough Marauders." Madigan groans.
"I knew I'd be cursed with a mini Siri, but I always thought it'd be Alex." Madigan sighs before kissing Kat's cheek. "Please, hon, behave." Kat just grins, which only spelled trouble.
"Listen, Fawn," Sirius begins, kneeling down in front of his daughter, not caring if his slacks got dirty from the floor. "You are a brilliant girl, beautiful, funny, sweet. You are incredible. I love you to bits and pieces, but we both know you are so much like your mother." He brushes the wild curls from her face. "And I love you even more for that, but do not let your fear keep you back. I know socializing may seem scary. You don't know what to say and you can't predict what others will say and do, but I promise you it won't always go badly. You'll make friends at Hogwarts. You might not think you need friends because you have your sister and the boys, but everyone needs friends outside of their family. You can do this, little doe, I know you can." She sniffles and nods. "I know you're afraid, but you'll be okay, I promise. If you need us we're just an owl away, okay?" She nods. "I am so proud of you. For being a brave little girl and getting on that train. No matter what, I am proud of you and I love you." She nods. "It's only for a few months and then you'll come home for Christmas and tell me all about how much fun you had, okay?"
"Okay." She whispers.
"Great." He kisses her forehead before pulling her into his arms. "You are going to do great, little doe, I have no doubt. You do not need to be afraid."
"I'll try." She whispers.
"That's all I'm asking. Just try for your old man, okay?" Fawn giggles and pulls back.
"You're not old, daddy."
"I feel it." He grins, stroking her cheek. "I love you, baby."
"I love you too, daddy." He sighs and stands up.
"Okay." He nods, readying himself for saying goodbye and letting his baby girls go. He turns to Drake next, who stood slightly awkwardly to the side. "Come here, Drake." Drake starts over and Sirius pulls him into his arms next. "Like I said, Drake, no matter what house you end up in, we will still love you and will continue to be proud of you."
"I don't want to be like him. He was so horrible and mean." Drake whispers.
"Drake, no matter what you will never end up like your father. You have too much good in you, too much love. You are not your father's son. You make your own choices. Your parents can't decide who you'll become. Their choices don't make you who you are. Trust me, your parents do not defy you." Drake nods, tears filling his eyes. "Come here, kid." The two embrace. "You are not Draco Malfoy. Not if you don't want to be."
"I want to be Drake Black. I don't want anything to do with them."
"Then that is who you will be. You are who you chose to be. Be who you want to be, I can't ask for anything more. You stay true to yourself and you'll make us so proud no matter what."
"Thank you Uncle Siri."
"You're welcome, kid." He pulls back and smiles down at Drake. "I love ya, kid."
"I love you too." Sirius smiles.
"Do me proud."
"I want to be a Gryffindor." Drake says for the first time. "Like you. I don't want to follow the trend of Slytherin like our family. I want to be a Gryffindor just like you. I want to be your son." Sirius' heart ached and for a minute he had to concentrate on his breathing in order to not break down like a sobbing prat in front of Drake.
"Drake, you will always be my son as long as you want. I already see you as my son. I raised you, I loved you, and I'm so proud of the man you are becoming." A tear rolled down Drake's cheek.
"I love you Uncle Siri." Sirius hugs Drake tightly.
"I love you too Drake."
Madign took Drake shortly after, hugging him so tightly he had to ask her to lighten up so he can breath. "I'm sorry. It's just so hard. All my babies are leaving the nest." She cries, causing Drake to wince.
"Please don't start crying, Auntie Madi. You were doing so good."
"I'm not going to cry, I swear." She says even though her voice cracks. "You're such a sweet boy. I still remember when I held you for the first time. You were so small and so scared. You were like a lost little babe. When I held you for the first time, I remember you started crying because you never knew how it felt to be held so gently and lovingly. I swore that day that no matter what I'd make sure you knew how loved you were. You are not your parents Drake Black. You are a good, loving, sweet boy who I am proud to call my baby boy."
"I love you Auntie Madi." The two hugs.
"I love you too, baby. Be good, okay? Don't let anyone push you around or be mean. Just because your birth father and mother were death eaters do not make you one. You are a good boy and I assure you there will be people who see that. People that will see you as you."
"I want that." Drake whispers. "For people to see me as me."
"And they will. Hogwarts is where you'll find your true friends. Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor. It doesn't matter where you end up, you will always be our son and we will always love you."
Drake nods, taking a moment to bask in the warmth and comfort of his aunt's arms before pulling away. "I'll see you for Christmas." Drake says.
"Looking forward to it."
James and Lily were also having an emotional goodbye with their boys. "I know you're sad that your parents couldn't be here with you." Lily tells Neville, kneeling down in front of him and rubbing her hands up and down on his arms. "I know if they could they would be here. I know that they loved you so very much. When your mom found out she was pregnant, she had cried for an hour. She was so happy. She had started to decorate your nursery before she even knew what your gender was. She was so excited for her bundle of joy. She had so much she wanted to do with you, so much she wanted to tell you. I wish she could be here to do this with you, but I am so honored that she chose for James and I to be the ones to be here with you. I know your parents are so very proud of you, just as James and I are. You are an incredible boy. You are so smart and so sweet. I know you're nervous and you feel like you have to live up to your parents, but you don't. They were incredible wizards and you will be incredible too, but you don't need to worry about living up to them. The only people you need to worry about making proud are already proud of you. You are going to do great, honey, I know you will. Just relax and trust in yourself, okay?"
"I will, Aunt Lily." She smiles and gives him a tight hug.
"I love you, honey."
"I love you too, Aunt Lily."
"Now, listen, Harry." James starts. "I know your mom is going to tell you to be who you want to be. To just enjoy your time at Hogwarts, to not worry about anything, but I need you to listen to me. Quidditch is in your blood. You were born to ride a broom and to score-"
"Oh, for Merlin's sakes. James, he's not even in Hogwarts yet." Lily cuts in.
"Hush, Lily. You'll get your turn to speak with our son." James says, dismissing her with a wave of his hand before looking at Harry seriously. "I mean it, Harry. You are born to be a chaser. You are going to be great, maybe even better than your old man."
"He's not even a first year yet, James. Quidditch won't start until next year with him."
"Woman, this is my time with him." James says, causing Lily to huff. "You are going to be amazing, Harry. I can see it now. Harry Potter, quidditch extraordinaire."
"There's more to life than quidditch." James groans and looks at Lily.
"Can I not have a conversation in peace with my son?"
"When you fill his head with nothing, but quidditch then no, you can't. He might not even want to be on the quidditch team. Don't pressure him."
"I'm not pressuring him."
"If he told you right now he hated quidditch, what would you do?"
"Demand a dna test to ensure he's not secretly Snivellus'."
"Oh, for Merlin's sake." Harry watched, his face bright with an amused smile.
"Now, Harry, the key to quidditch-"
"Harry," Lily cuts in. "Your dad will go on for an hour if we let him. The point he's trying to make is that he loves you, he is proud of you, and he knows you'll do great at Hogwarts. Just like I know you will do great. We love you sooo much."
"Lily-" James starts just as the train's whistle blows.
"Oh! Hurry, you don't want to miss the train. Owl us! Tell us how everything goes!" Lily calls as the kids rush to the train.
"Bye!"
"Love you!"
"Don't shag on the couches!" The children call, causing the parents to smile, roll their eyes, and sniffle.
AN: Last author note for this chapter, I swear. I just wanted to say that I hope you like my story and that my characters don't seem too OOC, but they are different than the real version. Sirius is married, he has kids, James and Lily are alive, Snape and Regulus are gay... Also, the kids are eleven, but they were raised by Sirius, who was rather immature, inappropriate, and lacking in a filter, so the fact that they say shagging and snogging is simply because they listen to Sirius too much. Now, that being said they don't actually know shagging and they made jokes, but they never seen Sirius and Madigan actually do more than just kiss, they're not that bad of parents. But, I think I nailed the characters pretty good and I do think this is how they'd be as parents. But if you think I'm wrong then please let me know. This is the first time I wrote a fic like this, so I'm not all that confident... I'm just really writing to have fun plus I don't see enough of these.
