1.1.1.1 SIRIUS'S HOUSE
Friday soon came to an end and it was time for them to all to pack up again this time for the move to Sirius's house. Both Lily and Aggy were a little nervous about this last stop, if Sirius was anything to go by then meeting the rest of his family was going to be interesting.
*****
With breakfast over the six teenagers found them selves in the study at Remus's house. It was time to leave James hugged Lily tight saying, "I'll see you next week" and kissing her. On the other side of the room Remus and Aggy were playing out a similar scene. Marie hugged Sirius and standing on tiptoe kissed him saying "Bye…I'll owl you when I get back"
All three couples broke a part as Suzie Lupin entered the study saying "Marie you first and then James"
Marie and James thanked her for letting them stay and were both soon spinning away towards their own homes. Sirius moved over to Suzie smiling he swept up her hand and kissed it saying, "Thanks for inviting me." As he stepped up to the fireplace he grinned "Bye…see you two in a minute…Later Moony" and with that he was gone.
Lily hugged Suzie and thanked her before going to the fireplace and following Sirius. Suzie moved over to Aggy and hugged the girl saying, "You will always be welcome here any time" kissing the girl on the forehead Suzie left the room.
Smiling up at Remus Aggy said "I really like your mum" causing Remus to beam at her and then she said "I will really miss you…don't forget to owl me"
Holding on to her for one last time Remus said "I'll miss you too but I'll see you next week" and he kissed her. Walking her over to the fireplace Remus said "Go on…better go now or Sirius will be back looking for you"
Turning back to him one last time Aggy kissed him gently and then she was gone leaving Remus staring into the empty fireplace.
******
Mrs Black was not what Lily and Aggy had expected. Arriving at Sirius's house they were greeted by a small witch with black hair and very dark eyes both girls had to agree that Sirius was simply the male version of his mother, except for the height.
As Mrs Black started to speak Aggy and Lily couldn't help but smile brightly at her.
Seeing the two girls caused Dorcas Black to almost shriek in excitement "Finally girls…It is so nice to have girls to come and stay…I'm surrounded by men and 'Black' men at that" noticing the polite looks on the girls faces she calmed slightly. Turning to her son who she had noticed sneaking off she spun around saying "Sirius…Take the girls trunks upstairs please"
Aggy and Lily watched with amazement as Sirius quickly grabbed their trunks, bowed slightly to his mother saying "Yes mum" looking at the girls he said, "I'll be back in a minute"
Mrs Black chuckled at the shocked looks on the girl's faces as they watched Sirius exit the room "Come on into the kitchen…Kettle is on"
Aggy and Lily found them selves being led into a large open kitchen. Sunlight streamed through the French windows and the room had a clean airy feel and a smell of fresh baked bread. Sitting down at the table they both looked a little unsure as Mrs Black busied her self getting tea things out.
The little witch had not stopped talking since they had arrived.
Noticing the nervous looks on their faces Dorcas Black said "Sorry…Its just so nice to have females in the house" at that moment a huge crash was heard and the older women rolled her eyes. Moving to the door that led into the hallway she edged it open and shouted "Boys downstairs NOW!" The rumble of footsteps followed this and then Sirius emerged through the doorway.
Sirius stood in the kitchen for a moment before releasing the two squirming children he had trapped one under each arm. Finding their feet on the ground Lily and Aggy got their first look at the five-year-old twins.
Lily couldn't help but chuckle as Sirius standing between the twins ruffled their hair and beamed at his friends. Looking down at the small boys he said, "These are my friends from school" pointing at each girl he said "This is Lily and this is Aggy"
Smiling at the bright faces that were now staring at her Lily said "What are you names?" studying the two faces and noticing the only difference between them was their eyes, one had Dark eyes like Sirius and his mother and the other had soft blue eyes.
The miniature version of Sirius and his mother said "I'm Lorenzo and that's Jonas."
"Tea's ready…Would you two little monkeys like some juice and a biscuit" Mrs Black asked watching both boys nod at her.
Just as Sirius was about to take the seat next to Aggy, the small figure of Jonas pushed him out of the way and quickly sat down next to her smiling. Aggy reached out her hand and ruffled his hair in the same manner that Sirius had earlier.
Lily chuckled "Looks like Remus has some competition"
Grateful of his mothers presence Sirius said "It's the Black charm it gets everyone in the end" and laughed as Aggy raised an eyebrow at him.
It wasn't long before they found them selves on a tour of the house and being shown to their bedrooms. Sirius's house although not as large as James's was not far off. The ground floor boasted a large sitting room that was immaculate, a well-stocked playroom for Lorenzo and Jonas and a game's room for the adults. Off the kitchen was a lavish dinning room with a table that look big enough to seat about twenty people and finally a beautiful sunroom that spanned the entire back of the house.
Reaching the top of the stairs Sirius led them to the left and the girls found their bedrooms were next to each other. Only having time to quickly pop their heads into the rooms both girls smiled at the pretty draperies before they were whisked off in the opposite direction.
During the tour of the house a small hand had found its way into Aggy's. Not needing to look down Aggy squeezed it tight and felt her heart melt as the little hand squeezed back.
As Sirius opened his bedroom door a little voice said, "My bedroom is down here…Shall I show you." The three teenagers looked down at Jonas who simply smiled back at them.
"Yes come on I'd love to see it" Aggy said as the others made to follow he turned around saying, "I didn't mean you as well"
"Jonas" but Aggy cut Sirius off saying, "We'll meet you back here in a minute" and smirked at the put out look on Sirius's face.
Lorenzo had followed his twin down the corridor but stopped at a door on his right. Noticing he had stopped Aggy said, "Is that your room Lorenzo?" and the little boy nodded before disappearing through the door.
Lily followed Sirius into his room and sat down on his bed. Looking at him she said "What's the matter with you?"
Shrugging he said "I've never known him to take to anyone that fast…He normally won't talk to strangers for ages"
Moving over to where Sirius was standing Lily put her arm around him smiling she said "Come on lets go and find them" and they went out of his room.
Going into Jonas's room Sirius said "Where's Lorenzo I thought he came with you two" Sirius had to smile at the sight even though he was a little jealous of the attention his little brother was giving to Aggy. She was doing a good job looking interested in the toys he was showing her.
Aggy said "No he went to his own room"
"How about I go and get him and then we can all go outside and play in the garden until lunchtime" Lily said and waiting for them to nod at her before leaving the room.
Going across the hall Lily knocked on the door before pushing it open. Pushing her head around the side of the door she spotted the smaller version of Sirius sitting looking very sulky.
Going into the room she said "Hello" reaching the child "What's the matter…Why so glum?"
A pair of sad dark eyes looked up at her "I want you to be my friend not Sirius's"
Lily pulled the little boy onto her lap cuddling him tight and kissing him on the top of the head she said "Shall I tell you a secret…I like you much better than Sirius." Watching him smile at her she said, "Come on lets go and play out side with the others"
Walking outside Lily wondered how Sirius would take this new development not only had Jonas abandoned him but Lorenzo had to. Catching the others up outside Lily laughed as Sirius made a face at her that said traitor. Picking Lorenzo up Lily whispered something to him and then twirled him around.
Putting him down they made their attack and dove on Sirius tickling him, just as he was about to get the upper hand Aggy and Jonas joined the fray. Eventually tears running down his face Sirius gave up. Smiling at them he grabbed his little brothers and pulled them into a huge hug causing the three of them to roll over on the grass laughing.
Lunch arrived in the form of a picnic supplied by Mrs Black. After lunch Sirius brought out his broomstick and swooped around the sky to the delight of his little brothers.
******
Mrs Black called them all to wash up for dinner. Sirius led the way, while Aggy and Lily was escorted the twins into the house. Entering the kitchen the girls came face to face with Mr Black.
Hal Black leant back in his chair and checked out the two beautiful girls walking into his kitchen carrying his two youngest sons. Smiling in appreciation of the sight until he felt a hand clip him around the head. Looking up at his wife he smirked at her and then said, "Hello…So whom have we got here?"
Aggy thought Well Sirius may look like his mum but he is obviously his fathers son and she put Jonas down.
Sirius grinned and said, "This is Lily and Aggy dad…My friends from school"
A wicked grin flashed across his face and he said, "So Sirius please tell me one of these beautiful witches is your girlfriend?"
At this Sirius wrinkled his nose "Urr dad…No!"
This earned Sirius a punch in the arm from Lily who had just put Lorenzo down "As if either of us would go out with you!" and she grinned at him.
Pulling his tongue out at her Sirius turned to his dad and said "Lily is James's girlfriend and Aggy is Remus's" pausing he then said "Marie should be here next week sometime"
Hearing the mention of the other boy's names Lorenzo looked up at Lily and said, "I thought you were my friend"
Chuckling at him Lily crouched down and put her arms around him saying "I will always be your friend" and smiled at him "Now come on lets get washed up for dinner." Lily led him out of the kitchen to sounds of Mr Black saying, "That's my boy" and Mrs Black "Hal stop that"
Lily and Aggy found out why Sirius loved food so much his mother was an excellent cook. Mr and Mrs Black couldn't help but laugh at the behaviour of their two small sons who had suddenly developed a serious case of good manners.
As she served dessert Mrs Black said, "You two wouldn't like to move in permanently would you" catching the look on their faces, she pointed at her small sons "I've never know a meal to be this peaceful"
With a fake look of shock on her face Aggy said "What you mean they are not always beautiful angels?" causing both Mr and Mrs Black to roar with laughter.
Moving into the sitting room after dinner the boys played on the floor with toy broomsticks while everyone else sat chatting, mostly about school. As the night wore on Jonas managed to find his way onto Aggy's lap and snuggled close to the teenager. Hearing the steady even breathing Aggy smiled at the sleeping child.
Noticing her son was asleep Mrs Black stood up and made a move to take him from Aggy but was halted as she said "Its ok I'll carry him up if you like?"
Nodding Mrs Black took hold of Lorenzo's hand and said "Thanks."
Coming back into the sitting room ten minutes later Aggy settled her self down next to Sirius on the sofa.
Looking around the room Mrs Black said "How about some hot chocolate?" And she received four lots of yes please.
Later that night as the girls got into bed both thought may be staying here wasn't going to be that bad after all.
******
Sunday at the Black's house was a very leisurely affair, even though everyone got up very early much to the horror of Lily and Aggy. Mrs Black provided a huge selection of things for them to eat at breakfast and the meal lasted over two hours. Finally the boys went outside to play and after the kitchen had been tidied up the adults plus teenagers retired to the sunroom.
Sitting near his dad Sirius asked, "Where are you working this week dad?"
Thinking for a moment he replied "I'm only in France…So if I'm lucky I may get home on Friday this week"
Lily asked, "Do you work away a lot Mr Black?"
Pulling a face he said "More or less every week unfortunately" pausing for a moment he went on "It's not so bad for me but it's not fair on Dorcas"
"What do you do?" Aggy asked
Smiling at her he said "I work for Gringott's…I over see all the 'Curse breakers'"
Both girls' eyes lit up at this and Sirius laughed as his dad went on "I tend to organise where all the 'Curse breakers' are stationed…bit to old to be involved in too much field work these days"
Aggy glanced out of the window just in time to see a smiley face come through the door. Jonas beamed at her saying, "Are you coming out side?"
Looking at Lily who was engrossed in a conversation with Mr Black about the types of charms and curses they came across Aggy turned to Sirius and said "Come on Sirius lets go and play outside" and she winked at him.
Sirius followed her out laughing and thinking What the hell has come over her?
A couple of hours later Sirius and Aggy dragged Lorenzo and Jonas in to get cleaned up for lunch and found Lily and Mr Black had not moved and were still heavy in conversation about the ins and outs of breaking curses down.
After lunch Mr Black crept off into the sitting room and was found there later sleeping in one of the over sized armchairs. Sirius occupied his little brothers and Mrs Black sat in the sunroom relaxing, catching up on some reading. Aggy and Lily cleaned up the kitchen for Mrs Black to thank her for the delicious lunch she had prepared for them all. Later they sat out in the garden enjoying a moment to them selves.
Before they knew it dinner was over and Lorenzo and Jonas were being hauled up stairs to get in the bath. Helping to bath to two rambunctious five year olds had Lily and Aggy in fits of laughter and almost as wet as the twins.
Climbing into their beds that night both girls were almost asleep before their heads touched the pillow.
******
Monday morning found Mr Black heading back to work with promises of seeing them all next weekend. A familiar pattern settled over the house for the next few days. Breakfast followed by playing with the twins for a few hours, lunch then more twins, dinner and bathing the twins and finally reading bedtime stories.
Late one night the girls were sat chatting in Lily's bedroom. One of the main topics of conversation was the change in Sirius. Even though he was still the wild teenager they knew from Hogwart's he was more reserved at home. They had quickly worked out that this was due to the ever calming present of his mother.
The girls decided that one prank on Sirius while he was under the watchful gaze of his mother was called for. Sitting together for a moment a plan was formed and then it was off to bed and to wait for the right moment to execute the plan.
******
The plan was put into operation early on Thursday Lily and Aggy decided to get the twins involved. After breakfast the girls primed the two little boys on what to do. Coming in from the garden at lunchtime everyone crowded around the kitchen table and tucked into the sandwiches and soup that Mrs Black had made for them.
Aggy smiled at Lily and looking down she nodded. At the signal lily carefully slid her wand out of her robes and with a discrete flick she cast the simple charm. Lily glanced at Aggy and smiled.
Looking at Lorenzo Aggy said "So Lorenzo what did you say was your favourite colour?"
Recognising the cue Lorenzo said "I like blue best" and then started to chuckle as he saw his older brothers hair change colour. It wasn't long before all but Sirius were sniggering causing him to look at them with raised eyebrows.
Just then his mother walked into the room to hear Jonas say, "I like green best Aggy" and then to see Sirius's hair change again and the sniggering changed into laughter. Mrs Black noticed the look on the faces of the girls and realised that her son had been had but decided that she would also have a little fun at her elder son's expense.
Lily noticed Mrs Black and gulped wondering what the older witch would do but relaxed as she heard her say "My favourite colour is candy pink" and she winked at the girls as Sirius's hair changed once more.
The two little boys at the sight of their big brother with candy pink hair slipped from their chairs in fits of laughter. Sirius on the other hand was becoming increasingly more concerned at the fact that there seemed to be a joke going on and he hadn't been let in on it.
A confused look on his face he said "Is some one going to let me in on what is so funny?" and he ran a hand through his hair causing the others to laugh harder. Realising he was not getting any where Sirius got up and moved over to his mother "Mum" but was cut short as he noticed his appearance in the mirror over the kitchen fire place.
Turning around to face the girls eyes narrowed he said "Traitors" moving over to Lily "Alright Evans…funs over…take the charm off"
Swallowing and grimacing slightly under his glare she said, "I can't"
Sirius rolled his eyes as he remembered the last lot of hex's her and James had cast on each other had all been time locked "How long?" was all he asked.
"Twenty four hours…Sorry" biting her bottom lip, Lily smiled at him holding back a giggle and said "But you look awfully cute with pink hair"
Sirius dropped back into his chair at the table covered his face with his hands and contemplated the day a head.
Getting back up from the floor Jonas shouted "Yellow" but no sooner had Sirius's hair changed than it changed again as Lorenzo shouted "White with orange spots"
Catching Lily and Aggy's eye Sirius said, "You will pay for this mark my words"
At this both girls got up and together threw their arms around him, hugging him and kissing him.
The rest of the day descended into the normal pattern except for the sudden hollering of a colour in Sirius's direction and then a chase occurring and usually the casting of the tickling charm on the offender.
****
Friday morning found Lorenzo and Jonas disappointed that the charm had worn off and a very grateful Sirius. The morning owl post brought letters from James, Remus and Marie all confirming their arrival the following morning.
Reading the note she had received Mrs Black sighed. Looking up at his mother Sirius said, "Is everything alright mum?"
"Yes everything is fine but your father won't be home this week. He's had to go to South America for the next week" she said.
At this Sirius grumbled under his breath but knew there was no point saying anything.
For the girls Friday was spent talking about the arrival of their boyfriends the day after. Peace had also descended on the house as Mrs Black had taken Lorenzo and Jonas over to their friend's house to play for the day. Sirius joined the girls in the sunroom and the three friends settled down drinking pumpkin juice and chatting about school and possible pranks for the beginning of their seventh year.
*****
The three teenagers were chatting merrily over breakfast on Saturday morning as Mrs Black asked "Will you three be ok settling the others in this morning when they arrive." Watching the confused looks spread over their faces she smiled "I really need to go shopping this morning…especially if there are going to be three more teenagers in the house"
Looking up at her Aggy said "Would you like us to watch the boys for you?"
"Thank you for the offer but I think I will take the little demons with me" chuckling she said, "I'm sure you will have better things to do than baby sit Lorenzo and Jonas"
At this Sirius said, "MUM!"
But this only made her laugh and wink at them causing Sirius to blush. Shaking his head Sirius couldn't believe that this was his mother.
Leaving them to finish their breakfast Mrs Black rounded up the twins and prepared to leave to go shopping. As she stepped up to the fireplace holding onto the hands of her small sons she said "We should be back just after lunch…Will you be ok sorting yourselves out?"
Smiling at her Lily said "Don't worry we'll make sure the boys don't destroy the kitchen"
"Ok then Bye see you after lunch" and with that the three figures sped away.
It wasn't long before the three teenagers found themselves positioned in front of the fireplace waiting for the arrival of their other friends.
A few moments later James appeared in the fireplace but unfortunately didn't get chance to step out as the form of Remus Lupin spun into view behind him causing James to stumble forward. James had just managed to steady himself when he was deal another blow causing him to fly out of the fireplace and land in a heap on the hearth. Marie Devon had also arrived pushing Remus who quickly found him self heading towards the hearth and falling over James. Looking down at the boys on the floor Marie didn't notice Remus's luggage, which had been half dragged out of the fireplace and tripped over it.
The others sat and watched the event as if in slow motion unable to do anything about what was happening. Sirius couldn't hold it in and started to laugh. From the hearth all that could be heard were shouts of pain as each friend landed on the last.
Finally pulling him self together Sirius managed to get up and sweep Marie up of the floor, allowing Remus to roll to the side of James and heave him self into a sitting position.
Looking up Remus said, "Hello…Nice to see everyone" tapping James with his foot gently he said "Are you alright Prongs?"
Groaning James sat up "Yeah" as he stood up he offered Remus a hand and hauled his friend from the floor. Turning to the others he said, "Alight everyone" and moved over to Lily.
It wasn't long before the Black family kitchen had three teenage couples in it each kissing and hugging hello.
Having finished greeting their own partners the friends commenced in greeting the others. Once this was done the new arrivals were shown to their bedrooms, due to the Blacks only having eight bedrooms Marie had been put onto Jonas's room and the little boy had been moved in with his twin.
*****
Returning from shopping after lunch Mrs Black found the teenage couples happily chatting in the sunroom.
As she walked into the room James and Remus made to stand up but were halted as she said "Hello everyone…No please stay as you are"
Just then two small faces appeared around the side of their mothers legs. Both boys stood still for a moment eyeing up the three new teenagers.
Noticing his brothers Sirius said "Your remember James and Remus don't you" watching the boys nod he said, "This is Marie" and gave her a quick squeeze. For Marie's benefit he named both boys.
Mrs Black said "Can these two stay in here with you while I unpack the shopping?"
Sirius nodded at his mother but Aggy said, "Would you like any help Mrs Black?"
Shacking her head she said "No your alright…when I'm finished I'll bring you all some drinks through" and with that she disappeared into the kitchen.
James and Remus were use to the twins and the twins had always enjoyed them visiting. Moving into the room Jonas eyed Remus suspiciously and as he reached the sofa that Aggy and Remus were sitting on he smiled up at Aggy.
Unable to resist the little face Aggy leaned forward and ruffled his hair saying, "Did you have a nice time shopping?"
Pulling a face he moved closer to her knee saying "No" and he yawned.
At this Aggy reached for him saying "How about a cuddle?" seeing him smile, she pulled him onto her knee. Jonas quickly snuggled close to the teenager making sure he had her whole attention and pushed Remus out of the way.
Remus had watched this little exchange and raised his eyebrows as the five- year-old made a claim on his girlfriend.
Hearing James say "Looks like you have competition their Moony" Remus looked up and said, "It looks like I've already lost" causing the six teenagers to laugh.
*****
Mrs Black had agreed that the others could stay to the end of the week. As Friday arrived she was actually going to be sorry to see the other teenagers leave. They had kept the twins entertained all week. Mrs Black did feel a bit guilt about the behaviour of one of her small sons who had not left the side of Aggy at all. Where ever she had gone Jonas had not been far away and ensured that Remus had not got to close to her. Mrs Black had also been amazed at the influence the girls had over the teenager boys who normally tried every way possible to pull some prank or other when they were all together.

A wicked grin flashed across his face and he said, "So Sirius please tell me one of these beautiful witches is your girlfriend?"
At this Sirius wrinkled his nose "Urr dad…No!"
This earned Sirius a punch in the arm from Lily who had just put Lorenzo down "As if either of us would go out with you!" and she grinned at him.
Pulling his tongue out at her Sirius turned to his dad and said "Lily is James's girlfriend and Aggy is Remus's" pausing he then said "Marie should be here next week sometime"
Hearing the mention of the other boy's names Lorenzo looked up at Lily and said, "I thought you were my friend"
Chuckling at him Lily crouched down and put her arms around him saying "I will always be your friend" and smiled at him "Now come on lets get washed up for dinner." Lily led him out of the kitchen to sounds of Mr Black saying, "That's my boy" and Mrs Black "Hal stop that"
Lily and Aggy found out why Sirius loved food so much his mother was an excellent cook. Mr and Mrs Black couldn't help but laugh at the behaviour of their two small sons who had suddenly developed a serious case of good manners.
As she served dessert Mrs Black said, "You two wouldn't like to move in permanently would you" catching the look on their faces, she pointed at her small sons "I've never know a meal to be this peaceful"
With a fake look of shock on her face Aggy said "What you mean they are not always beautiful angels?" causing both Mr and Mrs Black to roar with laughter.
Moving into the sitting room after dinner the boys played on the floor with toy broomsticks while everyone else sat chatting, mostly about school. As the night wore on Jonas managed to find his way onto Aggy's lap and snuggled close to the teenager. Hearing the steady even breathing Aggy smiled at the sleeping child.
Noticing her son was asleep Mrs Black stood up and made a move to take him from Aggy but was halted as she said "Its ok I'll carry him up if you like?"
Nodding Mrs Black took hold of Lorenzo's hand and said "Thanks."
Coming back into the sitting room ten minutes later Aggy settled her self down next to Sirius on the sofa.
Looking around the room Mrs Black said "How about some hot chocolate?" And she received four lots of yes please.
Later that night as the girls got into bed both thought may be staying here wasn't going to be that bad after all.
******
Sunday at the Black's house was a very leisurely affair, even though everyone got up very early much to the horror of Lily and Aggy. Mrs Black provided a huge selection of things for them to eat at breakfast and the meal lasted over two hours. Finally the boys went outside to play and after the kitchen had been tidied up the adults plus teenagers retired to the sunroom.
Sitting near his dad Sirius asked, "Where are you working this week dad?"
Thinking for a moment he replied "I'm only in France…So if I'm lucky I may get home on Friday this week"
Lily asked, "Do you work away a lot Mr Black?"
Pulling a face he said "More or less every week unfortunately" pausing for a moment he went on "It's not so bad for me but it's not fair on Dorcas"
"What do you do?" Aggy asked
Smiling at her he said "I work for Gringott's…I over see all the 'Curse breakers'"
Both girls' eyes lit up at this and Sirius laughed as his dad went on "I tend to organise where all the 'Curse breakers' are stationed…bit to old to be involved in too much field work these days"
Aggy glanced out of the window just in time to see a smiley face come through the door. Jonas beamed at her saying, "Are you coming out side?"
Looking at Lily who was engrossed in a conversation with Mr Black about the types of charms and curses they came across Aggy turned to Sirius and said "Come on Sirius lets go and play outside" and she winked at him.
Sirius followed her out laughing and thinking What the hell has come over her?
A couple of hours later Sirius and Aggy dragged Lorenzo and Jonas in to get cleaned up for lunch and found Lily and Mr Black had not moved and were still heavy in conversation about the ins and outs of breaking curses down.
After lunch Mr Black crept off into the sitting room and was found there later sleeping in one of the over sized armchairs. Sirius occupied his little brothers and Mrs Black sat in the sunroom relaxing, catching up on some reading. Aggy and Lily cleaned up the kitchen for Mrs Black to thank her for the delicious lunch she had prepared for them all. Later they sat out in the garden enjoying a moment to them selves.
Before they knew it dinner was over and Lorenzo and Jonas were being hauled up stairs to get in the bath. Helping to bath to two rambunctious five year olds had Lily and Aggy in fits of laughter and almost as wet as the twins.
Climbing into their beds that night both girls were almost asleep before their heads touched the pillow.
******
Monday morning found Mr Black heading back to work with promises of seeing them all next weekend. A familiar pattern settled over the house for the next few days. Breakfast followed by playing with the twins for a few hours, lunch then more twins, dinner and bathing the twins and finally reading bedtime stories.
Late one night the girls were sat chatting in Lily's bedroom. One of the main topics of conversation was the change in Sirius. Even though he was still the wild teenager they knew from Hogwart's he was more reserved at home. They had quickly worked out that this was due to the ever calming present of his mother.
The girls decided that one prank on Sirius while he was under the watchful gaze of his mother was called for. Sitting together for a moment a plan was formed and then it was off to bed and to wait for the right moment to execute the plan.
******
The plan was put into operation early on Thursday Lily and Aggy decided to get the twins involved. After breakfast the girls primed the two little boys on what to do. Coming in from the garden at lunchtime everyone crowded around the kitchen table and tucked into the sandwiches and soup that Mrs Black had made for them.
Aggy smiled at Lily and looking down she nodded. At the signal lily carefully slid her wand out of her robes and with a discrete flick she cast the simple charm. Lily glanced at Aggy and smiled.
Looking at Lorenzo Aggy said "So Lorenzo what did you say was your favourite colour?"
Recognising the cue Lorenzo said "I like blue best" and then started to chuckle as he saw his older brothers hair change colour. It wasn't long before all but Sirius were sniggering causing him to look at them with raised eyebrows.
Just then his mother walked into the room to hear Jonas say, "I like green best Aggy" and then to see Sirius's hair change again and the sniggering changed into laughter. Mrs Black noticed the look on the faces of the girls and realised that her son had been had but decided that she would also have a little fun at her elder son's expense.
Lily noticed Mrs Black and gulped wondering what the older witch would do but relaxed as she heard her say "My favourite colour is candy pink" and she winked at the girls as Sirius's hair changed once more.
The two little boys at the sight of their big brother with candy pink hair slipped from their chairs in fits of laughter. Sirius on the other hand was becoming increasingly more concerned at the fact that there seemed to be a joke going on and he hadn't been let in on it.
A confused look on his face he said "Is some one going to let me in on what is so funny?" and he ran a hand through his hair causing the others to laugh harder. Realising he was not getting any where Sirius got up and moved over to his mother "Mum" but was cut short as he noticed his appearance in the mirror over the kitchen fire place.
Turning around to face the girls eyes narrowed he said "Traitors" moving over to Lily "Alright Evans…funs over…take the charm off"
Swallowing and grimacing slightly under his glare she said, "I can't"
Sirius rolled his eyes as he remembered the last lot of hex's her and James had cast on each other had all been time locked "How long?" was all he asked.
"Twenty four hours…Sorry" biting her bottom lip, Lily smiled at him holding back a giggle and said "But you look awfully cute with pink hair"
Sirius dropped back into his chair at the table covered his face with his hands and contemplated the day a head.
Getting back up from the floor Jonas shouted "Yellow" but no sooner had Sirius's hair changed than it changed again as Lorenzo shouted "White with orange spots"
Catching Lily and Aggy's eye Sirius said, "You will pay for this mark my words"
At this both girls got up and together threw their arms around him, hugging him and kissing him.
The rest of the day descended into the normal pattern except for the sudden hollering of a colour in Sirius's direction and then a chase occurring and usually the casting of the tickling charm on the offender.
****
Friday morning found Lorenzo and Jonas disappointed that the charm had worn off and a very grateful Sirius. The morning owl post brought letters from James, Remus and Marie all confirming their arrival the following morning.
Reading the note she had received Mrs Black sighed. Looking up at his mother Sirius said, "Is everything alright mum?"
"Yes everything is fine but your father won't be home this week. He's had to go to South America for the next week" she said.
At this Sirius grumbled under his breath but knew there was no point saying anything.
For the girls Friday was spent talking about the arrival of their boyfriends the day after. Peace had also descended on the house as Mrs Black had taken Lorenzo and Jonas over to their friend's house to play for the day. Sirius joined the girls in the sunroom and the three friends settled down drinking pumpkin juice and chatting about school and possible pranks for the beginning of their seventh year.
*****
The three teenagers were chatting merrily over breakfast on Saturday morning as Mrs Black asked "Will you three be ok settling the others in this morning when they arrive." Watching the confused looks spread over their faces she smiled "I really need to go shopping this morning…especially if there are going to be three more teenagers in the house"
Looking up at her Aggy said "Would you like us to watch the boys for you?"
"Thank you for the offer but I think I will take the little demons with me" chuckling she said, "I'm sure you will have better things to do than baby sit Lorenzo and Jonas"
At this Sirius said, "MUM!"
But this only made her laugh and wink at them causing Sirius to blush. Shaking his head Sirius couldn't believe that this was his mother.
Leaving them to finish their breakfast Mrs Black rounded up the twins and prepared to leave to go shopping. As she stepped up to the fireplace holding onto the hands of her small sons she said "We should be back just after lunch…Will you be ok sorting yourselves out?"
Smiling at her Lily said "Don't worry we'll make sure the boys don't destroy the kitchen"
"Ok then Bye see you after lunch" and with that the three figures sped away.
It wasn't long before the three teenagers found themselves positioned in front of the fireplace waiting for the arrival of their other friends.
A few moments later James appeared in the fireplace but unfortunately didn't get chance to step out as the form of Remus Lupin spun into view behind him causing James to stumble forward. James had just managed to steady himself when he was deal another blow causing him to fly out of the fireplace and land in a heap on the hearth. Marie Devon had also arrived pushing Remus who quickly found him self heading towards the hearth and falling over James. Looking down at the boys on the floor Marie didn't notice Remus's luggage, which had been half dragged out of the fireplace and tripped over it.
The others sat and watched the event as if in slow motion unable to do anything about what was happening. Sirius couldn't hold it in and started to laugh. From the hearth all that could be heard were shouts of pain as each friend landed on the last.
Finally pulling him self together Sirius managed to get up and sweep Marie up of the floor, allowing Remus to roll to the side of James and heave him self into a sitting position.
Looking up Remus said, "Hello…Nice to see everyone" tapping James with his foot gently he said "Are you alright Prongs?"
Groaning James sat up "Yeah" as he stood up he offered Remus a hand and hauled his friend from the floor. Turning to the others he said, "Alight everyone" and moved over to Lily.
It wasn't long before the Black family kitchen had three teenage couples in it each kissing and hugging hello.
Having finished greeting their own partners the friends commenced in greeting the others. Once this was done the new arrivals were shown to their bedrooms, due to the Blacks only having eight bedrooms Marie had been put onto Jonas's room and the little boy had been moved in with his twin.
*****
Returning from shopping after lunch Mrs Black found the teenage couples happily chatting in the sunroom.
As she walked into the room James and Remus made to stand up but were halted as she said "Hello everyone…No please stay as you are"
Just then two small faces appeared around the side of their mothers legs. Both boys stood still for a moment eyeing up the three new teenagers.
Noticing his brothers Sirius said "Your remember James and Remus don't you" watching the boys nod he said, "This is Marie" and gave her a quick squeeze. For Marie's benefit he named both boys.
Mrs Black said "Can these two stay in here with you while I unpack the shopping?"
Sirius nodded at his mother but Aggy said, "Would you like any help Mrs Black?"
Shacking her head she said "No your alright…when I'm finished I'll bring you all some drinks through" and with that she disappeared into the kitchen.
James and Remus were use to the twins and the twins had always enjoyed them visiting. Moving into the room Jonas eyed Remus suspiciously and as he reached the sofa that Aggy and Remus were sitting on he smiled up at Aggy.
Unable to resist the little face Aggy leaned forward and ruffled his hair saying, "Did you have a nice time shopping?"
Pulling a face he moved closer to her knee saying "No" and he yawned.
At this Aggy reached for him saying "How about a cuddle?" seeing him smile, she pulled him onto her knee. Jonas quickly snuggled close to the teenager making sure he had her whole attention and pushed Remus out of the way.
Remus had watched this little exchange and raised his eyebrows as the five- year-old made a claim on his girlfriend.
Hearing James say "Looks like you have competition their Moony" Remus looked up and said, "It looks like I've already lost" causing the six teenagers to laugh.
*****
Mrs Black had agreed that the others could stay to the end of the week. As Friday arrived she was actually going to be sorry to see the other teenagers leave. They had kept the twins entertained all week. Mrs Black did feel a bit guilt about the behaviour of one of her small sons who had not left the side of Aggy at all. Where ever she had gone Jonas had not been far away and ensured that Remus had not got to close to her. Mrs Black had also been amazed at the influence the girls had over the teenager boys who normally tried every way possible to pull some prank or other when they were all together.
