Coming Together

By Lady Lupin

Chapter Five: Together at Last

"Wake up!  Dad!  Sirius!  Oh fine, make me resort to spells." Anya said huffily.  "Enervate!" Both men woke up.

"You know Padfoot, this is the second time in two days that you've fainted.  Are you becoming delicate?" Remus asked from the floor.

"Oh shut up Moony.  You fainted too," Sirius said irritably.

"You fainted before, Sirius?" Nyah asked incredulously.

"Yes, when we got the letter from Dumbledore saying he thought you two were alive," Remus told her when Sirius wouldn't answer.

"Oh brother dear! I didn't know you cared." Lenora said dramatically.

"Of course I care, you two were the only family I had for a long time." Sirius said standing up.  Lenora's face softened and she hugged her brother tightly.  He returned it, kissed her on the forehead.  But the serious expression didn't last for long, Sirius got a Marauder-ish look on his face.

"But now I've got a son, a niece and nephew and a brother in law," he paused.  "Group hug?" he inquired not so innocently.  Everyone backed away and Lenora smacked her forehead in frustration.

"Sorry, Padfoot, no one trusts you," Remus said, patting his back in mock sympathy.  "Speaking of sons, where are ours?" He asked looking around.

"In the kitchen, setting the table.  I hope." Lenora answered.

"I have a question," Anya spoke up.  They looked at her and nodded in encouragement.

"Why do you and Sirius call each other Moony and Padfoot?  They are really odd nicknames," She said, looking back and fourth from her dad to her uncle, who looked guilty.

"Well, we tell her or not?" Lenora asked the other three.  They all nodded.

"Ok, well in our fifth year we became illegal Animagi.  We did it for Remus, to keep him company.  I am Lab, a yellow Labrador, Nyah is Silverwings, a silver falcon, your father is Moony, a wolf along with his other form, and Sirius is Padfoot, the Grim." She paused.  "James was Prongs, a stag, Lily was Spots, a cheetah, and Pettigrew is Wormtail, a rat.  That's where the names come from and if you ever tell you brother and cousin I will hex you." Lenora told her daughter, only half joking.  Anya looked shocked.

"Can you show me??" She asked excitedly.  They all looked at each other and then nodded.

"I suppose so.  But only for a minute."  With that there was a flash of light and a pure silver falcon replaced Nyah.  It was quite lovely.  Lenora transformed into an elegant golden-yellow dog.  Nyah settled herself on Lenora's back.  Sirius and Remus took their cue and the room suddenly contained a sleek, huge black grim and a shimmering gray wolf.  Anya looked at them in wonder as they walked over to her.  The canines licked her hand and she received a friendly nip from the falcon.  When they all changed back Anya smiled widely.

"That was amazing!  I wish I could do that." She said wistfully.

"Yes well it was a lot of work, and we should have told someone about it," Nyah said.  Remus and Sirius looked a bit guilty.

"Well you see Nyah, Lenora, Dumbledore does know.  Remus had to tell him to explain about Pettigrew." Sirius said slowly.  The two women glared, but stayed quiet.  Anya could tell the adults wanted to speak, so she left discreetly.  She whispered good luck to her father and uncle as she walked out of the room.

"I suspect later you two will have some explaining to do about certain curious things."  Lenora said, raising her eyebrows.  "But at the moment we should talk about your sons."  They all nodded.

"Well I would like to know why you named him Romulus," Remus asked Lenora.  She smiled.

"There are a few reasons actually.  One he reminded me so much of your father, the same hair as you both, and blue eyes.  Two, we weren't sure if we would ever see you again and I wanted a way to remind me of you, without me having to suffer every day.  And three, I just plain like the name, and it suits him well." Lenora told him, ticking off the reasons on her fingers.  Remus looked thoughtful.

"Well that makes, some sense I suppose.  So what is his middle name?" He asked running his hand through his disheveled hair.  Nyah smiled.

"He doesn't have one, neither of them do." She said, winking at Lenora.  Remus and Sirius gaped at them.

"Why not?" Sirius asked, surprised.

"We never picked any in case you ever found us, that way you could still have a choice in there names somewhat." Lenora said matter-of-factly.  Sirius got a goofy look on his face.

"I get to give him his middle name?  Whoo Hoo!"  Sirius said happily.  They all laughed.

"Yes well think about it. But right now we should go eat dinner with said children." Lenora said briskly.  She headed towards the door, grabbing Remus' hand and pulling him along behind her.  Nyah started to get out of the chair she was sharing with Sirius, but he pulled her back down.

"May I ask, Miss Hunt, why you named our son Orion?" He asked, looking somewhat annoyed.  She grinned at him.

"Well, Mr. Black, even though you didn't want to continue your father's wonderful constellation idea doesn't mean I didn't.  Besides, Orion isn't that bad, and we can have other children with normal names, if you insist." Nyah said mischievously.

"I still can't believe you, doing that when you………..Wait, did you just say more children?" Sirius paused, confused.  Nyah laughed and kissed him.

"What do you think about that, Padfoot?" She asked, leaning on his chest.

"I think it's a very good idea, Miss Hunt." He said, kissing her again.

"Me too, Mr.." she started, but they were interrupted.

"Look, I know you two have missed each other, but having a sappy snog session in the living room when your supposed to be at dinner is not the best idea, alright?" Remus said, trying to look stern but failing horribly.  Sirius and Nyah stood up grinning and headed over to Remus. 

"You are such a git Remus," Nyah said fondly, kissing his cheek.  "I've missed that terribly."  Remus grinned, and rolled his eyes and headed towards the kitchen.  Sirius ran and caught up to Remus.

"Hey you wolf!  What do you think you're doing trying to get with my falcon?" Sirius said, yelling at him in mock anger.  Remus looked at him for a second and then burst out laughing in his face.  Sirius was quiet and then began to laugh as well.  By then Nyah had reached them and without even pausing as she walked by, she reached her hands out, and smacked them both on the back of their heads. 

"Come along you two prats, dinner is ready." She said, smiling.  They got to the doorway to find Lenora, Anya, Rom and Orion all standing there staring at the three of them.  The adults looked at each other and all burst out laughing.  Anya, Rom, and 'Rion looked at each other, clearly confused as to why their parents were going insane.

"They act like us, I mean when mum and Lenora let us have too much Butterbeer." Orion mused.  Anya and Romulus looked at him oddly but agreed.

"Okay, I think its time for dinner.  This time we all are going in, no more floor shows you three." Lenora said, looking at Remus, Sirius and Nyah pointedly.

"Yes Madam Lupin," Sirius said, bowing.  Everyone rolled their eyes at him and headed into the kitchen.

~~~~~~~~~~

Dinner was a bit awkward but they all got over it when Sirius and Remus started to tell the boys and Anya about their years at Hogwarts.  After one particularly funny story Romulus and Anya fell to the floor laughing.

"Mum!  I……can't…….believe……..you…did………….THAT!" Romulus said between his and Anya's laughter.  Everyone else was sniggering at the two siblings reaction.

"Sirius!  I will get you for tell them about that!" Lenora yelled at her twin.  He smiled charmingly at his twin.

"No you won't dear sister.  You'll try, but won't succeed." He said modestly.  She glared at him, but let it go.

"Padfoot, you haven't changed at all these past fourteen years.  Still as goofy, and smart and annoying and handsome as ever.  Oops.  I did I let that slip out?" Nyah commented.  Sirius grinned and put his arm around his fiancée.

"Yes I know Silver,  but what would you expect from a Black?" Sirius asked, leaning his head on Nyah's shoulder.

"Right, that is why I'm perfect." Lenora said, grinning widely.  Remus kissed her cheek.

"Of course you are, Lab.  And I was perfect for picking you."  Remus said, saintly.  Nyah snorted. 

"This is getting sad.  Let's just say that we are all perfect and be done with it." She said, annoyed.  Everyone laughed and agreed.

"So, do you three play any Quidditch?" Sirius asked as they ate dessert.  The two boys grinned almost identically. 

"You bet!  All three of us have Nimbus 2000s." Orion said happily.  Romulus nodded in agreement.

"Well how many do you have all together?" Sirius asked, looking at Nyah and Lenora.

"Well five, including Mum and Nyah's, they both have Cleansweep 7's," Anya said, looking up from her dinner.

"Okay Sirius, you have that look in your eye.  What are you thinking?" Remus asked.  Sirius grinned.

"A Quidditch match!  You and I can transfigure some brooms for us to use." Sirius said happily, looking like he was 15, and not 35.

"There's not enough people to play though," Remus pointed out.

"We'll play a quaffle version.  We'll only try to score.  Remus you can be keeper.  And it can be boys versus girls." Sirius said quickly.

"Yes!" Rom, Rion and Anya said together.  Lenora and Nyah smiled.

"Well I don't see why not." Lenora agreed.

"I guess, but next time we play I am not the keeper!" Remus said, slightly annoyed.

"Fine, fine Moony.  Alright, go get your brooms and Moony and I will got outside and find suitable sticks." Sirius said, dragging Remus out by the arm. 

"Here Moony, give me your wand, I'll transfigure them.  You know I'm better at it than you." Remus handed over his wand.

"Sirius, has it occurred to you yet that we have sons?" Remus asked, sitting on a log as Sirius brought over two medium sized brown sticks.

"Remus, it has barely occurred to me that Nyah is alive." Sirius admitted, his eyes still showing the pain that he endured, but now to a lesser degree.  "But it feels good, like everything is almost right.  Like everything is…" he said as he began to transfigure the brooms.

"Coming together, I know.  Like the only thing that could make it better would be if Lily and James were still around." Remus said, looking at the moon.  It was getting closer to fullness.

"Well that won't be happening," Sirius said gruffly as he finished.  "Come on, let's go to the others," he said, heading back to the house.

~~~~~~~~

It was midnight before their game ended.  The girls won 360 to 300.  Anya was a superb Chaser and with her mother on the team they were hard to beat.  The boys played fiercely but were no match for them.

They flew back to the houses slowly, on only the five real brooms.  Sirius had transfigures his and Remus' back.  Remus rode with Romulus, who was very tired and needed support.  Sirius did the same for Orion, who was just as tired as Romulus.  They had both played two games of quidditch in the same day, and were understandably exhausted.  Anya was competent enough to fly herself, and she did so, leading the little group home.  Lenora and Nyah flew behind their husbands and sons, watching their reunited family with pride.

"Hey, sis!" Sirius whispered.  Lenora flew up to him.

"Yes, bro?" She asked mockingly.  He flashed her a smile.  His face was beginning to look less haunted now that he had something to smile about.

"Is Orion asleep?" he asked her.  She checked and nodded.

"He looks exactly as you did when you slept," She observed. 

"That would be because he just plain looks exactly like him.   And acts too." Nyah replied, flying over to them.  "Do you know how hard it has been trying to raise Sirius Jr. over there?  Now I know why your mother was happy to send you off to school every year, Sirius." She added jokingly.  Sirius looked unhappy.

"I've missed so much," he said, ruffling the sleeping boy's hair.  "I'm so sorry you had to raise him alone."  Nyah smiled. 

"You had no control over what happened.  Lenora and I managed.  Now I want you to concentrate on being the best father you can be right now, and don't concern yourself with things in the past, things that you had no control over." She said lovingly, kissing his cheek.  Lenora flew over to Remus.

"I didn't know it was so easy to sleep on a broom," She said, nodding to her son.

"Apparently we tired them out," Remus said, holding Romulus steady.

"I can't believe how much he looks like you.  Especially with his eyes closed," Lenora commented, brushing the boy's hair out of his eyes.  Remus smiled at her.  Lenora saw the man Remus had been 14 years ago finally return.

"I'm just so glad we are all finally together." He said as they landed in front of the houses.  Sirius and Nyah landed right behind them.  Anya was waiting for them just inside the door.

"We better get them to bed," Lenora whispered.  Remus took Rom, and Sirius took 'Rion.  Nyah and Lenora said goodnight to each other and the families headed into their own houses.

~~~~~~~~~~

Remus set Romulus in his bed and took off his boots.  In the doorway stood Lenora and Anya, waiting silently.  Remus covered his son and ruffled his hair a bit before walking out of the room.  They headed down the hall and stopped at Anya's room.  Before entering, Anya hugged her father tightly, and he kissed her forehead.  Together Lenora and Remus made their way to the living room.  They lit a fire and laid together on the couch silently for about an hour.

"I love you Len," He said after a while, kissing her softly.

"I know.  I love you more." She said quietly, as she kissed him intensely.

"I don't really think that is possible.  But let's not argue about it," Remus said.

"Oh?  And what do you propose we do then?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.  Remus grinned wickedly.  "Why Mr. Lupin, I had no idea.  Would you like to tuck me in then?" She added archly.

"Why yes Mrs. Lupin, I believe I would," He answered, his eyes filled with an emotion that she could not quite place.  They extinguished the fire and headed swiftly to the master bedroom.

~~~~~~~~~~

Sirius put Orion in his bed and walked back over to Nyah.  He put his arm around her and turned off the lights.  They stood there together for about ten minutes, watching their son sleep peacefully.

"How is it that I can love someone so much after I've only just met them?" Sirius asked her softly, putting both arms around her.  She smiled.

"You've always loved him.  Somewhere, deep inside, you knew and that part has always loved him.  Now all of you does," She said, leaning on his chest.  He chuckled.

"You were always right about these things," He told her as he kissed her cheek.

"Of course I was.  I also know I'm right by saying we should go to bed." She told him pointedly.

"Whatever you say my Lady," He mocked.  With that he picked her up and swooped off to their bedroom, most likely with wicked intentions.

A/N: Well now are you people happy?  It finally ended without a cliffie.  That should make you all in a good mood to give me nice long reviews.  There, I won't even take up your time by making you read anymore.  REVIEW now!
