The small family appeared just outside of the gate that surrounded Hogwarts. Harry was doing his best to calm young Sirius down after the rather sudden change of plans. While dealing with a struggling Serenity. The little girl wanted down but wasn't getting her way. This was making her rather mad.
"Well this was a place I thought I'd never see again." Harry mumbled once young Sirius calmed down. He glanced down at his wiggling daughter. "Serenity, stop wiggling before I drop you." He chided his daughter, gently.
Hermione gave her husband a smile. "You are your fathers daughter, aren't you?" She mumbled as she took, the now calm, little girl into her arms; giving Harry a break.
Remus never took his eyes off the distant castle. "I just hope that we are welcomed here. They did take finding out about you two, rather poorly." He refrained from being too specific because the children were within hearing distance. The werewolf glanced down at the quiet Sirius. Then he followed the childs gaze which ended on Hogwarts."They'll expect our help if they already know what we do. They'll want the boy-who-lived to join the team once again. Are you willing to do that, Harry?"
"No." Harry said without hesitation. "I may have been willing to be their puppet back then but not now." He glanced at his family. "I have a life now. A family that I adore. And I'll be damned if they think I'll give it up." He spat. "Give up my life for people that didn't even care about me? Yes, when pigs fly."
Hermione shook her head. "Let's cross that bridge if we come to it, shall we? All we need to do now is get inside. Then we can deal with everything else." She was still the voice of reason.
"Where are we?" Came the small voice from Remus' chest. Sirius looked up at his grandfather with fear in his eyes. "I don't like this place, pappy. I want to go home." He buried his face back into Remus' shirt.
Remus held the little boy tighter. He could feel him trembling. "Shh. Everything is going to be fine, pup. You shouldn't fear this place. It's a school. I attended here, as did you mum and dad. I think you'll find it...interesting."
"No. I don't think the children should go with us. At least, not yet." Harry began to pace. "Dad, could you take them until we check things out? Go somewhere safe until we give you a signal to bring them? I don't want those people to know about Sirius or Serenity. Not yet."
Remus nodded. "Of course. I think that this a wise idea, Harry. You and Hermione go on ahead. The children will be fine with me. We'll find someway to pass the time. Right cubs?"
The twins both nodded, Sirius a little more reluctantly than Serenity.
"Alright then. You behave yourselves for your pappy. I don't want to hear any bad things from him. Got it?" Hermione addressed her children in stern mode. She gave them both a kiss on the head before stepping back.
Harry smiled at his children. "Be good, poppins." He ruffled Sirius hair and gave Serenity a kiss on the head." He then looked to Remus. "Just until we make sure it's safe."
Remus nodded and took Serenity by the hand since he was carrying Sirius. "We'll be fine. You two be careful." With a crack of thunder, they disappeared.
"Shall we?" Hermione motioned towards the castle and started to walk.
Harry fell into step beside his wife. He had much on his mind so he walked, silently.
