"Wake up Sirius!" Sharai yelled, nudging Sirius awake. She had woken up with the sun streaming in her face and from were the sun was positioned she guessed it was about noon. Luckily it was Saturday but none the less the kids were supposed to be training, Sirius was supposed to be at the Teacher's meeting, and her brother was going to kill her for being gone all night with Sirius.
"Wha...OH SHIT!" Sirius yelled jumping up, his outburst woke Emily up with a start.
"What's going on?" She asked rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she saw Sharai and Sirius awake and looked over to Harry only to find him sweating slightly and his eyes roaming under his eyelids.
"Harry?" She asked worry etched into her face and voice. Sirius snapped his head around and looked at his godson. He moved up to Harry's side as harry shook involuntary.
"Harry, wake up." Sirius said shaking him gently.
"No...no. MAYRA!" Harry yelled jolting awake, his eyes dilated and unfocused, he was sweating and shaking badly and he knew it, he deftly felt strong arms wrap around him and broke down into the comfort, allowing himself to sink into the strong and caring arms encircling his cold body. He had dreamed that they had lost Mayra again, this time forever. He slowly started to wake up and realized his Godfather was holding him and that he had begun to cry. "May...were is she, where's Mayra?" Harry asked going hysterical, looking at Emily getting out of Sirius's grip.
"She's safe with Jeremy. She's fine calm down." Emily said looking at Harry in the eyes, trying to find the core of his fear. What was his dream about? 'Are you Okay babe?' Emily mind asked, staring at ?Harry contently as he started to calm down and wiped away his tears.
'yeah, just a bad dream. You know they happen. What time is it cause we are so late and your brother is probably going to kill me. After our first child you think it would be okay with you and me staying out all night.' Harry said smugly as he started to return to normal, only Sharai could see the dream was still bothering them as they slowly started walking back to the carriage. Emily and Harry holding hands, Sirius and Sharai holding hands.
Emily looked at Sirius and Sharai's entwined fingers and raised an eyebrow. "So I am guessing everything went okay last night?" She asked casually as both adults blushed crimson red and mumbled a subtle 'yes'. Harry smiled smugly at Sirius.
"I told you so, now all we have to do is get Tonks and Remus together, they have a date tomorrow night in Hogsmeade. You guys care to help us shop for Remus's clothes for the night? It is a costume party at the Three Broomsticks and Emily has set up a theme for them. Of course you and Sharai will be going cause Evey already picked out your costumes. Remus and Tonks on the other hand still need to get theirs." Harry informed the adults coolly. Once again Sirius was slightly angry.
"Don't I get control over anything in my life?" He whined like a first year.
"No, not until you learn to respect your o' so smart godson you mutt." Harry informed him then ran away before Sirius could hit him, Sirius just simply ran after his dear godson threatening to change him into a toad for the rest of his life, this only mad the girls and Harry laugh harder.
"Will they ever grow up?" Sharai asked Emily as they walked towards the carriage still watching as the boys chased each other.
"Harry and I have been together for at least nine months, we have a daughter, and he is still acting like a two year old. Then again I do to sometimes, it is good to have that humor in your life. Believe me, Sirius and you are good for each other, your are serious needing a little funny times, Sirius is funny needing a little serious time. You will fit like two peas in a pod." Emily informed her teacher. For a the past few months Emily and Sharai had begun to know each other well, Emily almost considered the woman her mother, and Sharai considered Emily her daughter, they were inseperable
"Hey! What have you four been up to?" Evelyn asked walking out of the carriage with Jeremy trailing behind her, both looked a little messy, but none the less, Evelyn looked at Emily with a slight wink.
"Emily blushed as Sharai answered for the embarrassed teens. "They have been out with us, we fell asleep on the quidditch bleachers, nothing happened. I suggest you retrieve your wayward mind from the gutter Mrs. Evelyn." Sharai said with the kind of dignity and command in her voice that only a teacher could achieve.
"Well I am glad you had fun on your date, but I need to retrieve this mutt from you, he has papers to grade, and a teachers meeting to attend. Bye Harry, Emily, and Mrs. Showans. We will see you in an hour." Remus said retrieving Sirius after he had given Sharai a swift but firm kiss on the lips then allowed himself to be towed away.
"What's up with him?" Harry asked as they started towards the carriage.
"He and Mayra had a little to much fun, she pranked him, and he is going to feel the affects VERY soon." Jeremy answered with a snickered.
"What did she do?" Emily asked fearfully, Mayra had a knack for pulling good pranks that usually lasted a while, no thanks to her father of course.
"She used a new potion, I was brewing it for Harry's big show, but she got to it before it was finished. So know instead of the effects taking place instantly, they will take about an hour and a half from when the potion was taken. I really haven't figured out what it does, but I am sure I will." Jeremy said, leaving out the part were he helped May spike the professors drink.
"How long ago did he take it?" Harry inquired.
"About an hour and a half ago." Evelyn informed him, trying her hardest to not giggle helplessly, unfortunately she was losing that battle.
"Oh well, we have to get ready, we are taking a trip to Diagon Alley today. Evelyn and I are searching for costumes for all of you guys for the Halloween party at the Hogs Head. Of course we also have to shop for Sirius, Sharai, Remus, and of course Tonks." Emily informed them. All the boys groaned. Just then Alex walked in, seeing the faces of the boys, and hearing their groans, he also whined.
"Shopping! Nooooo." He whined. "Well you might as well get something for me and Hermione." He said without thinking, dang how he had wished he had kept his mouth shut.
"You and Hermione? And why does she need a costume?" Emily inquired, all though she had a fairly good idea why.
"CauseIaskedhertotheparty,andshesaidyes." Alex mumbled looking at the floor slightly embarrassed.
"Care to repeat that?" Harry asked sitting in the chair besides Alex, slapping him heartily on the back.
"I asked her to the party, and she said yes, and we are sorta going out." He said slowly looking at everyone's faces, Harry's the most. She was after all his best friend.
"Okay." Harry said with a shrug and stood up to get ready for the trip.
"Okay? Is that all you have to say, is OKAY!" Alex answered.
"Well yeah, what do you want me to say. Huh? I know she likes you, I know you like her, I know you will treat her well. But keep this in mind my good friend. If you EVER hurt her, mentally or physically, you will wish you had never met me. Got. It?" Harry asked, adding a threatening, icy tone to his voice.
"Y...Yeah." Alex said looking Harry right in the eye, even if his voice wavered. Harry nodded, smiled and turned back to his room to prepare for the trip. He was suddenly interrupted by a loud squeal, making all the occupants of the room wince visibly.
"DADDY!" Mayra screamed, running full speed into her Dad's awaiting arms. Taking in the warm scent of his hair she gave him a sloppy, wet kiss on the cheek then looked at him, trying her hardest to make her little face look serious. "You weren't here last night, what were you and Mommy doing?" She asked.
"We were sleeping, we fell asleep during our walk. Did you have fun with Uncle Remus?" Harry asked tactfully changing the subject.
"YEAH!" Mayra squealed.
"Here, go give Mommy a hug." Harry said setting her down as Mayra ran to Emily getting picked up in her arms, Mayra started talking a mile a minute about her time with Remus.
Harry sighed, laughed, and shook his head, walking to his room and taking a long, hot shower. He had been in there for ten minutes when someone opened the curtain behind him and entered the shower with him, kissing his shoulder.
"Hello Mrs. Turner." Harry said turning to face her, they were both naked in the shower, the possibilities flashed through Harry's mind.
"Mr. Potter, when was the last time we kissed?" She asked politely snaking her arms around Harry's neck.
"Last night." Harry answered simply snaking his own arms around her waist lazily. Before Emily could answer though he caught her in a long, deep, kiss. Stopping the kiss he trailed down her jaw bone, biting a little at her neck, making a moan emit from her mouth.
"Damn you." Emily ground out, pulling Harry's head up a grasping his lips in a firm kiss, trailing her hands down his arms, and letting them fall seductively on to his chest. She trailed down to his stomach, still kissing him, she began to draw shapes on his stomach, taunting him by going down lower near his () then pulling her hands up again.
Harry stopped the kiss when they both needed to breath. "Mayra is outside." He said regretfully.
"I know. But she's not in here." Emily said letting her hands drop down to drift over Harry's ().
"Emily You ar-" Harry gasped as Emily kissed him again fiercely and grabbed his (). Within a split second Harry had pinned Emily against the wall, ignoring the water he kissed her harder than ever, his hands taking up the dance Emily had abandoned on her body, letting his hands caress her nipples, smirking as she moaned louder than he had, letting his hands trail down to her waist then lower clasping her buttocks in his hands. Emily moaned again. Then looked at him, her eyes shinning with lust.
"What were you going to say?" She asked.
"Your evil." Harry ground out as she stopped his hands from going to her thighs.
"What?"
"It's been to long." Harry rephrased his question.
"It has to be a little longer. Mayra is in your room now. Do you want to explain to her why we are both moaning in the shower?" Emily asked, they had carefully avoided the 'were do babies come from' question, and planned to for at least a little while longer.
"Seductress." ?Harry murmured letting Emily escape from were he had pinned her, with a soft kiss on the lips Harry turned the shower off, and grabbed a robe for both of them.
"What was that, love?" Emily asked.
"Nothing honey." Harry answered as they walked into Harry's room. Sure enough here was Mayra jumping up and down on Harry's bed, Sharai was next to her, sitting and watching her in case she fell off.
"Mommy? Why were you and Daddy in the same shower?" Mayra asked in the little innocent voice she had mastered over the years.
"Nothing sweetie. Hey! Were going shopping! Lets get you dressed and Mommy will do your hair, and maybe a little make-up, how about that? Emily asked, picking Mayra up in mid-bounce, wheeling her out of the room.
"What were you doing?" Sharai asked Harry as he went to his wardrobe.
"Nothing unfortunately, you guys were out here." Harry said, Sharai rolled her eyes.
"That not what it sounded like." She said and left before, leaving the topic.
"nothing seems to go right for you does it?" She murmured as Harry grabbed a pair of pants, in mid- reach he stopped.
"What?"
"You just get your daughter back, and you get a car-free time. Then nightmares of her disappearing again come to haunt you. Nothing seems to go right for you." Sharai said, Harry was still frozen in mid-reach. Then slowly he turned towards Sharai. Sharai gasped, his eyes, he had no mask up, they showed the pain of all his years, a pain that not even Showans had yet, a pain that exceeded just mental and physical. This was deeper, this was a pain in his very soul.
"Sharai, nothing will ever go right for me. The point of life is to not have fun all the time then stop when pain hits. The joy and meaning of life it to build yourself up again when you are drawn down by pain, to make your self stronger, and to make yourself wiser. That is the meaning of life, I just have to overcome the nightmares, I know she's back, I knows she will never go away again, and I know she loves me." Harry said, his eyes returning to normal, his body posture loosening, and finally grabbing the pants and shirt he walked to the bathroom.
Sharai stared after him, that was a teen far beyond his years. But if he was okay with it, was it really her place to stop him? Shaking her head she went to her own room to prepare.
"YOU GUYS! WE LEAVE IN THREE MINUTES! COME ON!" Emily yelled with Mayra. They were standing in the Exit of the carriage with Sirius and Remus, Sirius was waiting for Sharai, while Remus was making a large point to wear an enormous cloak with a hood over himself, it was chilly, but not that chilly.
"WERE COMING! Jesus Mother Fuckin Christ!" They heard Harry curse. Everybody flinched then turned to Emily who was calmly holding Mayra.
"What? After her first two months we put a curse on her ears, she can't hear cursing. Living with Harry who has the most colorful vocabulary, and then hanging around with the others, we had to do something." Emily answered their unasked question.
"Why was my godson cursing like that in the first place?" Sirius asked, following his voice to were Harry stood in his room, throwing things around looking for something.
"EMILY! Were did my wand go?" He asked, ignoring Sirius.
"I have it here dear!" Emily responded in the waiting room.
"Of course you do! Why would it be in MY room! I mean really it makes perfect sense for YOU to have MY wand!" Harry said sarcastically smiling, grabbing a pair of socks and shoes he was about to walk past Sirius.
"Of course it does dear!" Emily responded while Mayra and Sharai giggled at Harry.
"My dear godson, why were you using that language?" Sirius asked stopping Harry, looking at him seriously.
"It's called English Sirius, many people in this new ara use it." Harry replied like a wise-ass.
"And that earned you two weeks of being grounded, you may have a child, but your are still underaged, and that language will not be permitted." Sirius responded, for the first time grounding Harry. Harry stared at him incrediously.
"Your serious?" He asked, barely believing what he had said, he had never been grounded before.
"Yes. Two weeks of no music. I'll tell Sharia and Master Showans sot they will keep you from it." Sirius aid turning, abruptly ending the conversation, Harry followed numbly, his face still showing shock.
"You look like you've seen a ghost Mr. Potter." Master Showans said as he entered were everyone was waiting.
"He grounded me. I was grounded. Sirius grounded me. I've never been grounded before, it feels weird." Harry said strangely, still looking at Sirius in shock.
"Well, someone had to. You did use horrible language, with ladies present, and you were a smart-ass." Sirius replied a little unsettled at Harry's reaction. "Two weeks with no music." Sirius said addressing Showans and Sharai.
"Okay, but you'll have to deal with him. Once he had no music for a three days cause he had training trials, and he went whack." Jeremy said wisely.
"We'll take away his guitar." Showans said, Sharai nodded her head.
"I'm actually grounded aren't I?" Harry asked, still in a weird state.
"Honestly sweetie, you have grounded Mayra two times, and you yourself have NEVER been grounded? There is a first time for everything. Get over it, it will be over in a few weeks. WE have to go." Emily said handing Mayra to him and grabbing her coat. Harry took Mayra and stated following them out of the door. Sirius was besides him staring at him strangely as he deafly listened to Mayra's talking.
"You actually grounded me." Harry said looking at Sirius once again, still in shock. Alex shook his head, coming out besides Harry, this kid had a few things coming to him.
"You. Are. Grounded." Sirius said slowly, yet again shaking his head.
"Oh."

THEY WERE PLACED THERE!), I have failed three classes. And I was grounded because I said SHIT! W.T.F! My family is screwed up!
