Chapter Six: Frenching the French and Branding the English

"I want you back in the hotel by midnight." Remus said. "No arguments." he added as Maple opened her mouth to protest.

Sirius grabbed Raine as she prepared to leave. "I know you're going to be careful." he said softly. "Hey may not be, but you what his father is."

Raine nodded and kissed his cheek. "I'll be careful, Daddy."


Closing kissing. That's what Morgan called it when you kissed until you literally were out of breath and you had to separate. That's what he and Harry had done the second they snuck into the hotel.

Hands clumsily threaded through hair and roaming skin. Awkwardness stemming, not from lack of experience, but from fear of making this experience reminiscent of the ones before it.

And kissing without the expectation of sex was something Morgan hadn't in three years, and something Harry had never done. Between gasps and blood rushing through warm lips, green eyes occasionally stared into amber orbs.

Harry finally pulled away. "It's too weird." he confessed.

"What's weird?" Morgan asked, already knowing the answer.

"Not having sex." Harry said softly.

Morgan grinned. "You're weird." he teased.

"I know I'm weird."

"I'm glad you know you're weird because I know you're weird."

Harry frowned. "Morgan, shut up."

The blonde glared at him. "Wh-"

Lips met in a passionate liplock.


Between two buildings across the street another couple was locked together. Raine's arms were rapped around her boyfriend while Draco's were running through her blonde hair. Raine was pressed up against the wall of a building, her legs wrapped around her boyfriend's waist.

"You're beautiful." he murmured against her lips.

"I know I'm beautiful." Raine replied impishly.

"You're also a conceited bitch." he teased.

"I know that, too." she replied, smiling.

"And you know everything."

Raine paused for a minute as if thinking. "Now, I didn't know that one."

He laughed and kissed her passionately. "Will you do something for me?" he asked her.

"Depends on what it is."

"Will you were my letter jacket?" he asked. "I get it next week."

Raine nodded. "Of course I will." She kissed him deeply. "Of course I will."


"You annoy me." Remus said to Sirius, a slight smile on his face.

Sirius pretended to be offended. "Me? Annoying? That concept is beyond me. How could I do such a thing? I'm incapable of annoyance."

"No, you're not." Remus said laughing. "You've been annoying me since I met you."

"But fell in love with me." Sirius reminded him, grabbing his husband's hands and smiling.

"I plead temporary insanity." Remus teased. "It came with the bite."

"I'll give you a bite." Sirius muttered under his breath. He looked up and released one of Remus' hands and tried to lead him away with the other. "Let's go."

Remus shook his head. "Sirius, stop acting like a child. We're in public and his son is dating your daughter."

"Lucius." Sirius said as the man stopped before him. His blue eyes were storm clouds.

"Sirius." the man said, grey eyes glittering malignantly. His eyes barely rested on Remus. Remus remained silent. That was how things usually went during these situations. Lucius and Sirius talked as briefly as possibly while Remus and Lucius pretended the other didn't exist. Lucius wouldn't lower himself to acknowledge a werewolf.

On this day, however, surprises were going to be abundant.

"And how is your daughter?" Lucius asked coldly.

"Which one?" Sirius asked, his voice dangerously pleasant.

"Raine." Lucius said, cool but with an unmistaken edge to his voice that reminded Remus of a frozen razor blade.

"Still dating your son." Sirius said, a satisfied smirk on his lips.

Lucius took a step closer to his wife's cousin. "I told you to make sure that - that damned half-blood, half-breed slut stays away from my son."

Remus grabbed Sirius' arm. "Don't." he hissed.

"If they every tried to have children, the gods forbid, I would prefer that my grandchildren not be dogs."

The blood drained from Sirius face as started toward Lucius, reaching for his wand. Remus pulled him back with surprising force. "No. Sirius, let's go."

"Of course, that's why you carried the children, Sirius." Lucius snapped. "Honestly. Lowering yourself to the place of a woman." That got no response as Sirius had begged to have the children. "And four out of your five children have the same fucking problem as you two did." He paused. "Well, you still do as a matter of fact. Of course, Lupin," Remus started at being addressed, "you had no control. Werewolves mate for life, correct?" There was no response.

"Tell me, is homosexuality hereditary. Because I understand you have two fags and two dykes running around. And the other little-" His words were cut off as a fist connected with his jaw.

Remus and Sirius hurried off. Sirius grabbed Remus and kissed him. "I can't believe you just did that." he whispered.

Remus smiled weakly. "I can't either."


"Well, would you rather him have sex with a stranger every night?" James asked.

Lily pouted. It never got Lily her way, but it turned James on and that always lead to a great evening. It was how both Violet and Harry were conceived.

James wrapped his arms around her waist from behind as they slowed to s top in front of the stage. "You're beautiful." he said, kissing the top of his wife's head.

Lily tilted her head back to stare into his eyes. As James lowered his lips to kiss her, she crossed her eyes. "I'm a frog." she said, then burst out laughing.

"A cute frog." James said without missing a beat.

"You're a frog too, Mummy?" Violet asked as she approached her parents with Remus and Sirius, who had claimed her for the past hour and a half. Violet was riding on the latter's shoulders.

"You seen any of the kids?" Remus asked. "We saw London and his boyfriend." he made a face. "They got tattoos."

"I saw Raine." Lily said. "Th-She was looking at jewelry."

"And Morgan's with Harry." James said. "I saw them a little while ago."

Lily pulled away from her husband and put her hands on her hips. "And why didn't you inform me of this?" she demanded.

"Because I knew you'd react like this." James said. "And I wanted to piss you off." he added mischievously. "Did I complete my mission?"

Lily glared at him. "You are such a pain in my arse, James Potter."

Violet giggled silently from her perch on Sirius' shoulders. "Which one do you want?" Sirius whispered to his husband out of the corner of his mouth.

"Lil." Remus whispered back. "Give Vi to Juliana. She's at that table behind you."


"She's freaked out." James said. "Because of their histories."

"She thinks they'll break up and their past will complicate everything." Sirius finished.

James took a drink of his beer and nodded. "She's pretty . . . hormonal right now." He leaned in toward his best friend. "Lily wants another baby."

Sirius stared at him. "Do you?" he asked.

James traced an invisible pattern on the table top. "I don't think it's going to happen." he said softly.

"How long have you been trying?" Sirius asked.

"Three months." James answered. "That's when she started freaking out about Harry having sex."

"Let me buy you another beer." Sirius said.


"They both used to sleep around." Lily said. "I don't know. It just seems strange that they want to be monogamous all of a sudden."

"How many girlfriends did James have before he started dating you?" Remus reminded her.

Lily smiled slightly. "You think they're in love?"

"Stranger things have happened." Remus said.

"I don't know what I'm worried about." Lily said finally. "Morgan always gets what he wants."

"Meaning . . ."

"If he wants a monogamous relationship with Harry, he'll get it."


But people hate to admit they're wrong. "Arse." Lily said, glaring at her husband and stealing his beer.

James glared back. "Bitch." he said with obvious fondness and a grin on his face.


"This isn't funny." Lily said from the other side of the door.

"No." Sirius agreed, barely able to contain his laughter. "It's hilarious." He chanced a glance at his husband and they both burst into fits of laughter.

Inside the closet, Lily huffed and sat down crossly on the floor, glaring in the direction of James in the dark.

"What's going on?" she heard a few distinct voices--Violet, Harry and Morgan among them--ask.

"We've locked your parents in the closet." Sirius said, sounding like himself in school when he'd just pulled a prank.

"What did they do?" Violet asked.

"Well," Sirius began, picking her up, "your mum was being a right pain in the--"

"Sirius Black!"

"And your dad's in the closet to cheer up you mum." Remus added. "It's six. Why don't we head down to dinner and give Lily and James some space?"

"Remus Lupin, don't you dare." Lily warned.

The brunette man grinned playfully at his husband. "Come on, Pads, I'm hungry."


James reached out to grab Lily's hand and ended up with her foot. He reached out again and--

"Merlin, James! What the hell are you trying to do? Gouge my eyes out?" Lily shrieked.

"Could you raise your voice a little higher? You might succeed in deafening me."

The hotel room door opened and Lily heard Raine rummaging through her parents' luggage. "Raine, honey?" she asked. "Will you open the door?"

"Who locked you in there?" Raine asked, still looking through the suitcases. She seemed completely unperturbed.

"Your fathers."

Raine found the notebook Remus had taken from her and opened it up. "It's called Blank Page." she said. "Opens in two hours." She knocked on the closet door as she prepared to leave. "Be good." she teased Lily.

"Raine Rose Black!"

"Love you too, Lil."


"How many outfits did you need to bring?" Draco teased as Raine dug through a cedar chest of drawers.

"These aren't my clothes." Raine informed him. "They're Maple's." She held up a bright-green dress with the stomach cut out. "What do you think of this?"

"I think you'll look hot in it." he replied with testosterone laced conviction.

Raine put her hands on her hips. "You."

"You." he repeated, standing up and walking over to his girlfriend. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "You are beautiful."

Raine looked confused. "Didn't we have this conversation a little while ago?"

"Yeah." Draco confirmed, kissing her.

"So why are we having it again?" Raine asked.

"We're not." he said.

"Yes, we are."

"No, we're not."

'Then what are we doing?" Raine asked.

Draco smiled and pressed his lips to hers.


"I can't believe they locked us in the closet." Sirius said.

"Well," Remus began, "you did lock them in the closet first."

"But I haven't been in the closet since I was eleven." Sirius protested, pouting.

"Well," Remus said suggestively, so long as we're in the closet . . ."

He need to say nothing more.


"You're hot." a tall pimply boy said to maple as she bought a beer.

Maple rolled her eyes. "Please. Even if I was straight, that lame pick up line would rate you as a negative two on a scale of one to ten."

"Wait. You're a lesbian?" Pimply Boy asked. "So, you like . . . Kiss other girls and stuff?"

Maple grimaced. Why mean were obsessed with lesbians she'd never understand. "I'm a lesbian. Lesbians typically kiss other girls."

"Do-Do you have a website or anything?"

"A what?" Maple asked. "Like a spider web. What's that got to do with anything?

"Can I see you kiss a girl?" he asked. "I'll pay you."

"Do I look like a fucking prostitute?" Maple snapped. "Now go away before I hex you."

A redhead ran over to Maple. "Oh gods, Mae. You have to come with me. There's some French girls at the bar and--wow. Let's go."


All it had taken were a few suggestive words from Morgan and he and Harry were in chairs getting ready to have. "Why Muggle tattoos?" Harry hissed out of the corner of his mouth.

"Because they always check age for magical tattoos." Morgan hissed back.

"What design do you want?" the tattoo artist asked Morgan.

"J.H.P." the blonde said. "Initials."

"Your boyfriend over here?" the artist asked, gesturing at Harry. Morgan smiled. "How long have you two been dating?"

"Long enough." Morgan said happily.


"What's that?" Remus and Lily asked simultaneously, pointing at Morgan and Harry's wrists as the two boys entered the restaurant, holding hands.

"I'm grounded." Morgan admitted, shrugging with a huge grin on his face. "But it's worth it."

"Me, too." Harry echoed.

"And why would you be grounded?" James and Sirius asked at the same time.

Raine breezed in and sat down by her dad. "Lucius Malfoy's a prick."

"I could have told you that." Sirius said irritably.

"I got Frenched by a French woman." Maple told Juliana, sitting down at the table.

"What?" Sirius and Remus demanded.

"Hey, you got a tattoo." Raine said to London.

"Hey, I did too!" Morgan exclaimed.

"WHAT!" all four adults screamed.

The grins on the boys' faces disappeared. "Shit."


So, the next chapter the kids start school. School is a little different in my story. The kids stay all week and then get the option of coming home on the weekends, although they don't have to.

I haven't yet decided if any of the parents will be professors. If so I'd probably pick Sirius or James. Which one do you think? Or both? And if both, which class besides DADA?
