Convincing the Hopeless
By: Snow and Co.
A/N: All hail the great Jo Rowlings, I own nothing except Elaine and some others. Thoughts are in Italics. Oh and I couldn't kill off Sirius, so I made Peter the Rat die in the third book. One review. Yay! I happy. Michael James is the Dad and Roseanna is the Mom of the Potters. Sara Bella is Bella.
"Remus Lupin…and this is Nymphadora Tonks…"
"Don't mind him its Tonks…just Tonks" said Tonks shooting Remus an evil glare. Cissa just looked around. Then the 23 year old got the courage to speak.
"Where is Elaine? And that guy," Cissa spat out the words 'that guy' like they were something foul.
"Who is Elaine? I know an Ellie but no Elaine, and I do have a name Cissa just like you do!" said Sirius walking down the stairs holding hands with Ellie.
"You know Black, my sister has got you trained, just like a dog," Cissa spat.
"Cassandra! You do not speak to people that way especially James' friends," said Roseanna Potter, who had just scared everyone. Roseanna had a hurt look in her eyes; it must have been from talking about James.
"Mum! Where is Dad?" said Ellie.
"Oh him, he is around…" said Roseanna
"I'm here," yelled Krisa, Krisa was one of the triplets Cissa, Krisa, and Bella.
"Me too," yelled Bella.
"Krisa, Bella keep your voices down we don't want to wake the dead," said Cissa, the triplets broke in to a fit of giggles.
"Yeah, yeah very funny. I know this house is old, now will you go read in the library or something?" said Sirius.
"Fine will make fun of you elsewhere. Come on let's go," Krisa said being the brave one this time. It was obvious that the triplets hated Sirius, you either had to be deaf and blind not to know that, or you were just plain stupid.
"Now were are your older siblings Ellie?" asked Sirius
"You mean, Matthew John, Snow, and Christopher Michael? Well they should…"
POP
"I rest my case!" said Ellie finishing. There were now six people wet and muddy from head to toe and they were Ellie's father, two brothers, her sister, her sister's husband, and her three year old.
"Ellie get your sisters. Since were all here now it's time for the family meeting." said Ellie's mother.
"Ok mum, Remus, Tonks, and yes you Sirius, come on," said Ellie leading them up the stairs. About half way up there they could see three shadows and hear crackly laugher.
"Ok, Tonks, Remus so what do you want to do? You can sit though her Mother's Family meeting or you can stay in the Parlor?" Sirius asked while pointing at Ellie, who smacked him when he did that. All Sirius did was laugh. "You know you can't hurt me. If fourteen years in Azkaban did nothing to me, you can't either. Remus had never seen Sirius this happy, ever since he got out of Azkaban, he was always mopping around, even though, proving him innocent, and Peter now dead he still couldn't go out because, most of the people still believed that he was in league with You-Know-Who. Even though he wasn't. Ellie really had and affect on him.
"So do you want to listen to my family go on and on or do you want to stay in the parlor?" asked Ellie
"I'll be in the Library," said Remus
"Well, its noon," said Tonks looking at her watch, "I really have to get to work, Bye!" and Tonks was gone.
"Shall we?" said Sirius
"Yes we shall," said Ellie, "Cissa, Krisa, Bella family meeting," she continued as Sirius and herself walk down the stairs hand in hand
"Ummm…hey people! HEY! Ummm why are you looking at me like that…" said Sirius making all the Potters stop talking
"Well you got our attention, dog! What do you want?" said Cissa strongly.
"To get Remus in to asking Tonks out!" said Sirius
"Go on Black" said Krisa
"Well any ideas?" said Sirius
"Lock him in a closet with her?" asked Bella
"No that won't work…Lets make this old house romantic so he has to ask her out!" said Matt
"No he would know that because that's what Sirius and I did to get James and Lily to go out…" said Ellie in a small voice
"Well we still could make this house romantic and make it like a date type thing like I did for Roseanna," said Michael James.
"It's the same idea but since there so many of us he wouldn't know!" said Chris.
"And if we got Harry and Hermione to come over to give us some help we could get to know our nephew better and he would get to know us" said Snow while looking at her husband Luke. She was holding on to Autumn, her daughter she was so cute, black curly hair and big blue eyes. It reminded Sirius of a little of James, the entire Potter Family looked like James or James looked like them.
"Autumn, do you have any ideas?" said Sirius. The little girl moved her head up and down.
"Snuffa…"
"Did Cousin Harry teach you to call me Snuffa?" asked Sirius
"Yup…Snuffa, Harry help us get Rems to love 'Rora"
"Ok Autumn I'll yank my godson into this," said Sirius, "and I bet his new girlfriend, Hermione would love to help. So that's the plan? Sounds good doesn't? I haven't had this much fun since, the Marauders and I pranked Snape in 4th year."
"Oh please tell them this one it's a classic" said Ellie
"Ellie, calm down of course I'll tell you the story. Right it was Fourth year for the Marauders and it was the Yule ball and Moony was taking Elisa Letterman, I was taking Padma Parch, Peter was taking Alisa Spinetta, and James was taking Lily Evans. We had been planning this joke for moths and the only one who knew about it was good ol' Dumbledore. Well what we had planed was for the old slime ball to show of his magic skills and his wand would back fire with the hair color changing charm, with the colors he hated most which were Gryffindor colors so when he was showing off for Malfoy he turned his hair Gryffindor colors, it was so funny" said Sirius.
"I never knew James did such things," Roseanna said laughing
"You and James played pranks like that?" asked Cissa
"Yup…that and I carved my name on tables, like the one in the kitchen says…Messer Padfoot would like to bid a good day to the gits he calls a family." said Sirius
"Why would you do that?" asked Krisa
"My parents hated me and loved my bother Regulus, who was such a bloody git. He was a Death Eater and got himself killed," said Sirius coldly, "I would hide out at your house and you parents adopted me sort of."
"Oh" said Bella softly
"Come on lets get off that sad topic and make dinner, I'm so starved I could eat Buckbeak." said Ellie.
"Don't let him hear that!" said Sirius. The whole family burst out laughing.
Remus had just finished his fifth book for today. He loved to read. It was the only thing he could really do because of his 'condition.' Just then Remus could hear the whole Potter family laughing and heading towards the kitchen. Sometimes being a werewolf came in handy because he could hear more than a normal human could…wait there was some one coming up the stairs.
"Hey Moony! It's time for dinner and Mrs. Potter cooked so it's bound to be good! Come on Moony lets go" said Sirius. Remus put down his book and he knew for some odd reason it was going to be a long night.
A/N: Good, Bad? A very special thanks goes to my first reviewer ever Padfootbabeinblack, Thanks so much! And Thanks to Lily who helped again along with Cousin James. So thanks Lily and James. I know that there wasn't much Tonks and Remus, hey but we got to meet the Potter family and there was some Sirius and Ellie. Right? Press the Review Button. Thanks Musch Cawnei (my muse) for letting me write this. Now there maybe another update tomorrow but that's a maybe.
