PLEASE READ THE TALK – IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

CHAPTER 12 IS DOWN THERE - READ THE TALK BEFORE YOU WILL READ THIS CHAPTER. PLEASE!!!

Sniffy: I know that most of you completely skip the talk. I want you to read this because I have some important things to say.

1). Sadly I wasn't born in country where formal language is English – I'm sorry for that. But I try my best to not make too much mistakes.

2). Brother Brother: Reunion will be beta read from the beginning after I will end with whole Reunion part.

3). Yes. Reunion part. Originally Brother Brother was sixth year story but in the meantime it morphed to first part of Brother Brother series.

4). I have only two chapters to end Reunion part. One already done and another in halfway.

5). The next part will be Brother Brother: Family Portrait. It takes place between July 14th and September 1st. It shows relations between Grimmauld Place 12 house members. Major role will be playing characters we have meet in Reunion. Of course I will bring back the Weasleys. You think that I would leave Mrs. Weasley reaction at new Order members, especially with Mirzam, Sirius and Regulus around. No way!!

Responses to reviews: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Only two people write rather longer reviews. One already knows what I wanted to tell her. So…

To Raion: I was sorted to Gryffindor. Yes he and Hermione will join the Order. About Mirzam. When I thought about her for the first time she was already shaped. Her character, her abilities, the fact that she is Harry's godmother, her past. She is become more important in Family Portrait. She is very complex character. She lost someone she loved dearly during first war. She is the one (or one from not too much) person who can said Dumbledore that he made something wrong. She doesn't hide behind Dumbledore because she has her reasons, which she will reveal slowly during next parts of Brother Brother series. Yes Ron would be jealously about Harry and Hermione, generally.

Chapter twelve: Werewolves are sociable creatures

Harry and his godparents came back to the kitchen when Regulus ended talking what happened to him during last fifteen years. Andromeda were grumbling at his posture, for he it was obvious that Regulus didn't eat much during these years. Regulus replied that he had eaten cats portions of meals and he really didn't need much food with exception of this breakfast and only he ate so much for the breakfast, because he didn't eat during last eighteen hours and he was starved after interrogation in Dumbledore's office. Sirius saw that Regulus was very eager to left Andromeda side so he asked him to accompany him in searching counter curse to Permanent Sticking Charm and Sirius, Regulus, Mirzam and Lupin left the room. The only people left was Harry Hermione, Andromeda, Ted, Nymphadora and Kyle, Lupin's foster son.

"I think it's time to work Dora" said Ted and both left the kitchen biding the rest a good day.

"Ted came back to Aurors from his pension, he and Nymphadora are working together." said Andromeda searching something cupboard "Oh dear, I asked Sirius to buy some meat and he forgot about this. I think we are out of vegetables, fruits and chocolate again. I should go to grocery shop and buy some. You three behave" she said to three kids and left the kitchen.

After Andromeda left, Harry took closer look at the kid. Kyle had nasty scratch on his right cheek and few scratches on his right hand. He also was very pale.

"Can I ask you about something?" Harry asked Kyle.

"Sure. Why not?"

"Are you werewolf?" Harry asked and felt that Hermione kicked him under the table.

Kyle's eyes widened in total shock and pure horror and he looked like he was ready to flew away from them "Why you are asking?" the boy managed to choke.

"Simple. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable in our presence because there is something that you think we don't know" said Harry looking from Kyle to Hermione.

Hermione smiled at the kid "And it's not that we will scream in disgust and run away if you are"

"I am. And?" said Kyle.

"And what?" Harry and Hermione asked in unison.

"What you are going to do with that knowledge?" Kyle asked.

"Nothing. We will give you some chocolate" Hermione smiled again.

Kyle stared at her like Hermione had a second head.

"When I read books about werewolves I found that they are addicted to chocolate" Hermione answered.

"I think it is too much to my neural system..." said Kyle weakly.

"Why?" asked Harry

"All people here are so nice to me and they don't mind the fact that I'm werewolf. I mean I know that some people wouldn't mind the fact that I'm what I'm, but seven people who don't mind in two moths. It's too much to my poor head!"

Harry and Hermione smiled reassuring at Kyle. Kyle stood up, came to them and hugged them tightly. Both returned the hug.

"Thank you for not despising me because of what I am" he whispered.

They spent nice few hours with young lycanthrope. Kyle was excellent companion. He knew every wizarding and muggle game.

"Kyle, answer me one question" said Hermione watching their game of chess.

"What kind of question? Check Harry."

"Can werewolves adopt kids?"

"They can, but only lycanthropes as far as I remember. Check again"

"I know that I shouldn't ask, but what happened to your mother?" asked Harry.

"She died in May in a car crash, I saw this, dad didn't want to stay in our village so he brought me here. I meet Sirius here, he is extremely funny sometimes and Mirzam too, especial if they don't agree about something"

"Why do you call Professor Lupin, dad?" asked Harry.

"Because he is the closest person to a father I ever had. I mean he understands me more than my mother ever tried. I loved her, very much but I can accept the fact that she died. But I don't think that I could ever stand loosing dad. He is a werewolf, so am I, we understand each other and we were always very close to each other, he is a dad, a brother and a companion. He is someone who understands my fears, my hopes. Besides he practically raised me from little kid. He even went to Dumbledore and asked him if I can go to Hogwart this year and Dumbledore agreed. He can do everything to keep me happy and I will do the same for him" said Kyle.

Harry and Hermione smiled at Kyle's explanation. Harry felt growing protectiveness towards young lycanthrope. It was impossible to meet someone barely this morning and before lunch be in almost brotherly relations. Because Kyle felt like a younger brother to Harry, a younger brother who need his help in the big, bad world when boy's father was away. And Harry knew that he'll help Kyle when the boy comes to Hogwarts. Quick glance at Hermione told Harry that he wasn't the only one who thought about this. It was impossible not to like Kyle.

Andromeda was jumping around the table when four adults came back to kitchen and sat down on the other side of the table watching the young people very close, almost askance like whenever all three burst into fists of giggle because Kyle told something.

"What?" Kyle asked the adults "I can't make friends on my own?"

That cut all stares.

They spent afternoon in living room on first floor. Kyle lay out on the floor reading Martin's Miggs comics. Andromeda sat on the armchair knitting something furiously. Regulus was curled on the another armchair in his usual catlike manner, his book fallen from his lap and Harry could bet that Regulus was deep asleep. Hermione and Lupin were sitting comfortably on the couch reading their books. Sirius and Mirzam occupied another couch, Sirius sitting cross-legged leaning against the back of the couch reading Aurors book, Mirzam half-sprawled on the remaining part of couch, her head on Sirius right shoulder lazily turning pages in her book. Harry himself was lying on the ground trying to read his potions book, the keyword was 'trying', because he couldn't tore his eye from nice family picture before him. 'When you see something like that it's hard to remember that outside is a world of war. It's just calm before the storm' he thought. He didn't know how damned right he was.

After pleasant afternoon come pleasant evening with Andromeda's casserole for dinner and nice talk with Mirzam about defence spells most of house occupants went to their bedrooms. Hermione and Kyle first, followed by all Tonks and one Lupin. Half hour after them Sirius and Regulus left the kitchen both bickering which aunt liked to stuff her house-elves. Mirzam giggled at the sight of two brothers. And Harry thought that things between both Black brothers are getting better.

"Ready for bed?" asked Mirzam after Harry yawned third time in one minute.

"I think so" replied Harry trying to stop another yawn.

Mirzam tucked him into blanket and sat down on the side of the bed.

"Well my dear Harry, what new you learn today?" she asked ruffling his hair.

"I learned that werewolves are sociable creatures" mumbled Harry before sleep started claiming him.

Last thing he remembered next day was Mirzam's gentle smile before he fell asleep.
