A/N: Disclaimer and Summary etc. in other chapters...
The next couple of days passed in a blur, filled with pranks, laughter, anger and pure genius;
At one point, the twins had even charmed it so that Doda couldn't see any of the pranks they pulled on their parents, making it all the more satisfying when Doda yelled at Sirius & Remus for blaming a (to her) non-existent prank on the twins when from what she could see, the only pranks being pulled were actually on the twins...
And yet somehow, neither of the parents could repeat the charm onto their own pranks...
Andromeda Tonks had settled into the Black-Lupin family quite nicely;
She could often be found laughing with the twins or conversing with Sirius or Remus.
At dinner one night, Sirius announced to the twins that they had some news;
"Girls," he began, "Have you enjoyed having Doda stay with us recently?"
"Well of course" said Kim politely, mildly surprised at the question.
"Hell yeah!" Said Andy, once again displaying the fact that she was far more blunt and 'out-there' than Kim...
"Well that's good then!" said Sirius, "because she's going to be staying with us until further notice..."
"Oh..." said Kim, summing up exactly what both girls felt.
Seeing that they still seemed to be confused, Doda explained;
"Well you see girls, the actual reason I came here to visit was because Ted & I have been having some... trouble with our marriage and we've decided to end it. We haven't yet had the hearing on what percentage of our possessions is legally ours but until then, we decided that we're both staying somewhere other than our house. Your parents and you have been very hospitable to me for the past couple of weeks and I couldn't be happier that I'm staying here longer. Erm, is that alright with you two by the way?" she added, as though on an afterthought.
"Hell yeah!" Said Andy once again speaking over Kim.
"Andy, what has happened to your vocabulary" asked Sirius with an amused smile.
The girl in question only gave a sheepish grin.
Her sister merely gave her a teasing smirk, which resulted in a playful shove from Andy.
Looking over to Doda, one could easily notice the relief spread all over her face now that she'd gotten that out and that the twins still accepted her, and it brought a smile to everyone's face. The rest of the evening was by far, one of the best nights all of them had spent at the Black-Lupin household.
-------------
"WAKEY WAKE!!! YOOOHOOOOO!!! RISE & SHINE SLEEPYHEADS!!!"
Even after all the combined effort of the twins' three best friends, all they received were two loud grunts.
After much trying and yelling, the whole Black-Lupin family was sitting sleepy-eyed in the den warily eyeing Jake, Jason and Mike; the three mischievous friends of the twins'. With all the fun of the previous evening, the Black-Lupins had forgotten all about them coming to stay over the Christmas holidays as well. The family in question was also rudely jerked back to earth with a loud & annoying wake up call from all three!
Jacob, known as Jake, was the most 'bookie' of their group of friends though he still managed to cause piles of trouble. He was also the shortest, had light brown hair and blue eyes, which were usually framed by clear rectangular glasses.
Jason, also sometimes known as Jase, was possibly the most mischievous one, with a cheeky grin usually plastering his handsome, lightly tanned face and lighting up his brown chocolate eyes. He had floppy hair, which was such a dark brown; one might have thought it was black! He was of medium-tall height and had most girls swooning over him.
The last of the three was Mike; another mischievous boy, of the same height and skin colour as Jase. Like Jase, he too was quite popular with most people though, although they were in the same group of friends, he was despised by one; Andy Black-Lupin; In fact, it had been such a long time since they started their daily arguments that no-one was quite sure how it even began. Mike though, had gorgeous honey brown eyes.
The three boys in question were currently grinning unnervingly at the Black-Lupin family; you'd think that living with the twins for so long, Sirius and Remus would be at least slightly used to mischievous teenagers but no, they still could not come to terms with them; they worried too much about their health for that! The girls on the other hand; though they were used to the antics of their friends, were downright glaring at them for waking them up so 'early'. Well really, Kim was glaring at Jase and Jake while Andy was looking murderously at Mike, who only grinned cheekily back.
"Alright," said Kim, resigned at the fact that they wouldn't be able to get rid of them for at least a week, "What do you want?"
"Now what would possibly make you think that we want something Kimmy dear?" asked Jase with an innocent voice that fooled no one.
"Jason Michael McIvor! You woke me up at least HALF an hour earlier than I normally wake up, ON A HOLIDAY and haven't let me get anything to eat! And now you have the nerve to walk in here pretending you don't want anything! DON'T MESS WITH ME THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING!" finished Kim, now outright yelling in his face.
The boy in question only gulped but then, anyone would with the quieter Black-Lupin twin yelling in your face and the other slightly more dangerous one still glaring murderously at one of your best friends.
"Erm, well actually Kim, we truly don't want anything!" spoke up Jake timidly, "We actually wanted to take all you guys on a trip! That's why we woke you up so... erm... 'Early'..."
"A trip" whispered Andy dangerously finally taking her eyes off Mike.
"Where?" asked Sirius wearily.
"To the carnival!" exclaimed Mike cheerfully.
"Oh God No!" muttered Remus with Sirius clearly agreeing; two hyperactive, dangerous might I add, twins and three mischievous, cheeky boys; two of the group of five which constantly fight and the other three which usually get into arguments of their own, this trip was going to be a disaster!
