Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Anything/Anyone you do not recognize
is mine and you cannot have it unless you ask. : P
Author's Note: I really need you people to tell me if you want more kids and what kinds you want. I will not be adding just one kid in, cause I want to either add none or 2/3/4. : ) Okay, here are my review responses to chapter ten.
R/R
Athenakitty: Yep. They love ganging up on mother, because she is easier to gang up on. Sirius, logical. Two words I never thought I will hear in a question together, and yes, he will be soon enough. He will get a shower, hopefully soon. Lol. I'm asking everyone to tell me in a review what they want, so hopefully I can announce soon enough whether or not there will be more kids. Thank you!
Flamekitty: Thank you!
Toria: Thank you! I think they should have kids too. Of course I will wait; it won't be for at least a little while. They will get their revenge soon enough, but I don't think it will be in this chapter unless I have a major writer's un-block and I get a really good idea.
ME: Aw. why? I like the idea of kids. Thanks for reviewing!
Kangaroo: Thank you! I like that scene, too. I just thought it'd show you that Sev is kind of used to the family Biz, but still getting comfy with it. Thanks again. I didn't think it would do at all for Sirius to be *still* stuck in Akabamy when everyone else was happy, and you guys asked if Lily and Sev were married, so I showed you that they were. Why thank you! I was wondering why you people were still reading it. It makes me happy when you do review! Ah. Yes. I see your point. I can work it out easily. With more kids it can give everyone more time to each other. You know, like juggling the children around with the adults so everyone can get their time. I'm just rambling my ideas so I can get them here. Cyaz and thanks!
Maggie: thank you! Triplets you say? Okay. Please tell me what kinds. I put the choices in the Author's Note before this. Thanks, here's more story.
Tropic: Thank you! Twins? Let me see who else wants what and I might be able to get twins. I'm going on the side for Triplets right now. Thank you! I'm updating now. Bai.
LadyPheonix: What's a "roll-i.e. thing-i.e. that's greasy"? Thanks! Here's more!
Mikee: Okay, thank you! Umm. there won't be kids too soon. At least a while. But there *WILL* be more kids!
Helena: Okay. Thanks!
Princess Pearliest: Okay, thank you for the ideas, but I won't say I'm going to use them. Okay? Thank you. There *will* be father/son time, okay? Thank you!
Poll thank you's: Thank you all for voting! I just cannot put you all in here one by one, so I am thanking all of you like, right now! The reason I was out for a while is because I went camping! I got sunburn. Ouch. Yeah, okay.

Here's the story!
Questioning Queries of AthenaKitty:
Harry and Hali ganging up on mother? Will Sirius be logical? Will he get a shower? What about quads? You know four babies?
LAST TIME "He's asleep." Lily observed.
"He is?" Severus asked, looking at Harry. Sure enough, Harry was breathing deeply and his eyes were closed.
Severus smiled and tucked Harry in. He kissed his and Hali's foreheads before standing beside Lily, putting his arms around her, and leading her to his room. NOW:
Harry turned on his side and groaned slightly. He was having a nightmare where Uncle Vernon was beating him again and he was crying silently in his sleep.
"No.No. pleashe..." Harry cried silently. He started to kick his legs and flail his arms in his sleep, accidentally hitting and kicking Hali and effectively waking her up.
"NO! Noooo!" Harry cried out. With his door shut, no one but Hali heard him and she crawled over to see what was wrong. Harry could feel every punch, every kick, and every slap of a belt almost as if it was real and he was crying hard.
"Hawwy?" Hali asked sleepily. Harry didn't respond. Hali poked him on the ribs softly. "Hawwy?" She repeated.
No response. Only tears.
Hali was really confused by this, and decided to make sure he woke up. She'd done this with her mother many times and it always worked. She silently padded over to the door and opened it silently. Looking back at her brother that was still acting strangely, she walked over to the bathroom and opened the door. She took a cup off of the counter and filled it with cold water and walked back to her and Harry's room and climbed back on the bed right beside Harry. Holding the cup over Harry, she turned it, spilling it all over Harry.
"NO!" Harry cried, sitting up in his bed, soaking wet and still crying. His green eyes opened widely, scared and surprised.
"Hawwy?" Hali asked softly.
Harry was breathing hard, whispering "No" softly.
"Harry? Awe you Okays?" Hali asked. She was more awake now that she'd walked around a little.
"H-Hali?" Harry asked. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm your sistew siwwy. I'm apposed to be here. You was crying so I spilled cold waters all over you's so you would stop crying and wakes up. It woked!" Hali exclaimed quietly and proudly.
Hali crawled over and slipped under the sheets to snuggle up beside her big brother and hugged him. "You was sad." Hali said quietly and sleepily.
"I was. Thank you Hali." Harry said, putting an arm around Hali and putting his head on hers.
"You's welcome Harry!" Hali said happily. "You kicked me, so I had to wakes up to see what hurted me." Hali added, almost asleep.
"I hurt you!?" Harry asked frantically.
"Only just a littles." Hali said.
"I'm sorry Hali! I shouldn't have done that!" Hali said, hugging Hali.
Hali hugged back. "It didn't hurted as much as when I fell down the stairs on accidentally."
"But I still hurted you!" Harry said. "I'm not supposed to hurt you!"
Harry moved and got out of the bed. "I'm going to goes now, okay Hali? Tell Dad that I hurt you when I had a nightmare and left because I didn't want to hurt you anymore, okay?"
"Don't go Harry!" Hali said quietly. She got out of bed too and walked over to Harry and held his hand. "No." she said stubbornly.
"I gots to go Hali. I'll get beated for hurting you and I don't want that." Harry said. "Go back to sleep." He said sternly.
Hali's shoulders slumped and she trotted back to the bed and slipped under the covers at Harry's end of the bed and pouted at Harry. If she had any say in it, as soon as Harry left the room, she would follow him.
"Bye bye Hali." Harry said.
"Bye Harry." Hali whispered back.
Harry walked out of the room and once Hali couldn't see Harry, she slipped out of bed and followed Harry. She accidentally stumbled once in the hallway and fell into one of the many doors of the hallway with"Oof!", but righted herself and tried to find Harry when she got into the living room. She saw a painting move and she ran and got through it before it shut.
Hali saw Harry run and turn a corner up ahead and tried to run after him and caught a glimpse of green pajama pants and a bare foot up ahead. She followed Harry for another ten minutes before getting really sleepy and resting for a minute.
@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$@$Meanwhile@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#
Severus Snape woke up to a bang on his door and"Oof!" and jumped out of bed, effectively waking up his wife that had had an arm over his chest.
"Sev? What's wrong?" Lily asked sleepily.
"I heard something bump into our door." Severus responded, taking out his wand from under his pillow. He was dressed in green and silver pajama pants, but had no shirt on.
"When?" Lily asked, suddenly alert. She took out her wand from the bedside table and got up as well.
"Just a second ago. Let's check on Harry and Hali." Severus said, thinking something could have gotten to their children.
"Right!" Lily exclaimed, running in her red silk nightdress over to the door and opening it.
"Lils let me go first." Severus ordered lightly.
"Okay." Lily said, letting Severus go before her. She knew she couldn't make him let her go first, so she didn't argue.
They silently walked over to their children's room to find the door ajar and the room empty. The bed sheets were on the floor, a cup was empty on the bed, and the bed was wet where Harry had been sleeping.
"Hali? Harry?" Severus asked loudly.
Silence.
"Hali? Harry?" Lily asked a little louder than Severus. She was walking around the room looking for the missing 3 and 4 year olds.
More silence.
"Severus, this is bad." Lily said, clinging to Severus' left arm.
"I know, Lily. Let's go look for them. I hardly think anyone could have found out the password. Few know it and the only people that do I trust with my life." Severus said looking shocked at the empty room. He had charmed it to where he would know if anyone took them out other than Lily and himself.
Lily nodded and practically flew to the portrait hole as Severus turned into Felaw once again to search for the children.
#MOONY# Felaw bellowed in his mind.
#mmm.. # was the reply.
#Wake up. # Felaw ordered, leading Lily down a hall where he smelled Harry's scent mixed with one he thought was Hali's.
#Why? # Remus asked sleepily.
#you should wake up only because Hali and Harry are missing, and that's nothing new. # Felaw thought sarcastically.
#What!?# Remus asked this time alert.
Felaw purred loudly, getting an odd look from Lily. She still had no idea about the connection.
#Hali and Harry are missing, I can smell them in the halls, but cats can't smell as good as dogs and I need you to help me. # Felaw informed his best friend.
#All right, I'll be right there. # Remus responded. A few seconds later, an amused voice rang in Severus' head. #Where are you? #
#from the looks of it, I'm in the potions corridor, next to the Mad-Axe- Malfoy statue. # Felaw thought, scratching at the statue in question.
#I'll be there in a second. # Moony thought.
Felaw stopped scratching at the statue and turned back into Severus.
"What was so funny?" Lily asked.
"Moony." Severus stated.
"Remus? What about him? You didn't make that potion again did you?" Lily asked.
"Which one?" Severus asked innocently.
"The one that turned him into a girl." Lily stated.
"Nope. I made one to where we have a connection and can talk to each other through our minds. I just woke him up and he said he'd be here in a minute and a few seconds later remembered to ask where I was. He should be here any second." Severus said.
Lily walked over to Severus and hugged him, her arms around his neck and her head on his shoulder. Severus buried his face in Lily's hair and rested his arms on her waist.
"Aw. It's a Kodak moment." Remus' amused voice said from behind the Mad-Axe- Malfoy statue.
"Remus. I'm worried. I don't know why Harry and Hali would be gone at this hour!" Lily exclaimed, hugging Remus.
Remus patted Lily's head and said, "I don't know either. That's why we're looking." Remus said, turning into Moony.
Lily sighed and followed Moony and Felaw when they started to run down the hall. "You know, I want to be in on your little mind thing too. I'm sure Padfoot would feel left out if he was forgotten as well."
Felaw walked over to Lily and purred and settled for walking beside her like a guard.
#she has changed a little. # Remus informed.
#well she's been on her own for years. I would change too if I wanted. # Felaw thought back to the wolf.
#But you didn't want to did you? # Moony asked, following Harry's scent around a corner.
#Nope! # Felaw thought back with a cat-like grin.
#Aha! # Moony exclaimed with a bark.
#Aha! What? # Felaw asked, running up to the wolf.
#is this your kid? # Moony asked, prodding Hali with his nose.
#Hmm. I think so. # Severus thought sarcastically to Remus. They had both turned back into their own forms and Severus picked up Hali. Lily ran up to them and scooped Hali out of Severus' arms and held her tight.
"Oh my baby. I was so scared. Hali! Oh thank you Remus! Thank you Severus!" Lily said, giving each man a half-hug.
"What's family for, Lils?" Remus asked.
"You two are here mostly to annoy me. The other part of you being here is to help each other out." Lily said, punching Remus on the arm lightly.
"Okay, where's Harry?" Severus asked.
They heard a blood-curdling scream down the hallway and Severus turned into Felaw and bounded after the sound with a Wolf trailing not too far behind him.
(AN: I would SOOO love to end here, but I won't.)
Felaw stopped at a corner when he saw Harry.
Harry was scooting back down the hall as Vernon Dursely loomed over him with a belt in one hand and a butcher knife in the other, grinning maniacally.
"No! Please, no!" Harry was screaming.
"You are a worthless brat, Potter. You know that. Now why don't I just let you end that? How about *I* end that?" Vernon asked, stepping towards Harry.
"Noooo!!!" Harry screamed, trying to back up.
"Oh yes." Vernon said, smacking Harry with the belt. Felaw turned back into Severus and Moony turned back into Remus.
Severus snapped. He took out his wand and started to yell every curse he could remember at Vernon. It did nothing.
Harry kept screaming and crying, backing up.
Remus came up and scooped Harry into his arms and walked away. As soon as Harry was away, Vernon turned to look at Severus and turned into Sirius, Remus, Lily, Hali, and Harry on the floor, dead and bloody.
"R.Remus.?" Severus asked, confused.
"It's a boggart, Severus. Sirius is in the hospital wing, and the rest of us are right here." Remus assured Severus.
"Riddikulus!" Severus bellowed, pointing his wand at the boggart. It turned into a little puppy with a clown suit on and he waved his wand, banishing the puppy.
Harry was still crying silently in Remus' arms, and Lily was sitting on the floor next to Remus, whispering reassuringly to Harry with Hali in her arms.
Severus came over and picked up Harry and gestured to Remus and Lily to follow him.
"Let's get them *back* in bed, shall we?" Severus asked.
"Okay." Lily whispered.
#Harry. I almost lost you again. I can't bear that. Sure, I've got Lily and Hali, but I wouldn't have my Harry. I'm going to make sure you won't run off again. I will make sure you won't have Vernon Dursely as your greatest fear at all. I'll make sure that you will have a normal childhood like you so deserve. But first, you need to get a home. # Severus thought.
#those are noble sentiments. # Remus' voice sounded.
#Lupin, must you get into my thoughts? # Severus asked.
#Yes. # Remus replied.
#you're getting annoying. #
#Thank you! #

#those are noble sentiments. # Remus' voice sounded.
#Lupin, must you get into my thoughts? # Severus asked.
#Yes. # Remus replied.
#you're getting annoying. #
#Thank you! #

Author's note: So far, I have over 100 reviews. I'm going to say that the 5th reviewer to *this* chapter will get a character in here because it's easier. Ok? Thank you all!
The Poll: So far, Twins: 1 boy 1girl and Quads: 2 boys and 2 girls are winning the poll right now. *I* am leaning towards Twins: 2 girls or Triplets: 2 girls 1 boy, myself.
Okay, we still have time for the poll. I still have to get to Snape Manor and get the kids settled down before I get the new kids in. Give me a reason why you voted what you did so I can see what will work best with my story please!!
