June 11th 1994
A little while after they started to get ready Sirius and Remus are standing together, with Augusta Longbottom, waiting for the Hogwarts Express to come in, Sirius wearing a pair of jeans he used to love and his favourite leather jacket that, unknown to him, gave Remus's comfort during full moons.
Both Sirius and Remus are very sure that everyone is watching them, though trying to make it look like that's not exactly what they are doing, but Remus and Sirius are doing their best to ignore them, and the Daily Prophet photographer that they both recognize.
"Do you think Hagrid still has my bike?" Sirius asks Remus curious, "I can't believe I didn't think to ask him."
"Please don't tell me you're going to start to ride that death trap again." Remus says, looking annoyed, which is hiding worry.
"It's a not a death trap, Rem." Sirius says, rolling his eyes.
"The amount of times you and James crashed it says otherwise." Remus counters.
"We didn't crash it that often." Sirius says, "You're being dramatic."
"Well, who do you think I learnt that from?" Remus counters.
"You know Moon; you weren't so judgemental when you were breaking the bike in with me." Sirius says with a smirk.
"Ohh, I don't want to hear this." Augusta informs the pair, though truthfully she is glad that they are together once more and acting the way they used to act.
"Sorry Augusta." Remus says apologetically.
"Yeah, sorry Mrs L." Sirius says, though he looks quiet amused, "For the record I think Hermione and Harry are going to agree and love my bike once I get it back."
"They are not riding on that thing." Remus tells Sirius, there being no room for questioning in his voice
"Oh, come on, Moon, you're being overprotective again." Sirius tells Remus, "I think Hermione and Harry should ride my bike if they want."
"Remus." Molly's voice says.
"We'll see." Remus says and he turns around to see Molly and Arthur, "Molly, Arthur, it's good to see you."
"It's good to see you too, Remus." Molly responds, "And you Sirius, I'm so sorry for what happened to you."
"Thank you, Molly." Sirius says, having meet her before going to Azkaban, several times, and he and James were the ones who told Molly about her brothers' deaths.
"Sirius, it's good to see you." Arthur says, sticking out his hand for Sirius to shake.
"You too." Sirius responds, returning the hand shake.
"Students are starting to come out." Augusta says and Molly, Arthur, Sirius and Remus all turn to see students starting to make their way out of the gateway in small groups.
For the next ten minutes the group watch until Fred, George, Percy and Ginny walk out and over to the group and then a little while later Hermione, Harry, Ron and Neville do.
Even though he only saw them a few hours earlier Sirius walks straight over to his daughter and godson and hugs them both.
"Padfoot, you're strangling the kids." Remus says as he walks over and when Sirius lets go of Harry and Hermione Remus hugs them too.
"Let's get out of here." Sirius comments once Remus, Hermione and Harry break apart.
"Lets." Hermione says and the family of four walk back over to the Longbottom's and Weasley's before leaving the station.
A little while later Remus, Sirius, Hermione and Harry have returned home, Neville and Augusta have flooed home and Hermione and Harry are walking into the living room after putting all their dirty washing in the laundry room.
"So, what else do we have to talk about?" Hermione asks as she and Harry sit down on the couch.
"Just a couple of thing." Remus says from where he is standing while Sirius is sitting on a chair.
"First is that Moony and I have had a couple of discussions and we've decided that you two have more use for this than us." Sirius says as he hands Harry and Hermione the Marauder's map.
"Really?" Harry asks, sounding amazed, as Hermione takes the map.
"Really, just don't give us a reason to take it again." Remus informs the pair.
"We won't." Harry and Hermione say together.
"Now, Hermione, when you told me that you were learning to become an Animagus were you lying or telling the truth?" Remus asks his daughter.
"I was telling the truth." Hermione admits, "But, the truth is that I have actually completed the first step." She reveals.
"You have?" Sirius asks surprised and Hermione nods.
"Do you know how dangerous it is to try something like that at your age?" Remus asks his daughter, worry in his voice.
"Dad and Uncle James were younger than me when they started to learn." Hermione points out, purposely not mentioning Pettigrew.
"She's got a point there, Moon." Sirius says with a smirk.
"You're not going to be any help, are you?" Remus asks Sirius, who just smirks, which causes him to roll his eyes, "Hermione I understand your reasons, but learning to become an Animagus is dangerous, it can go seriously wrong."
"I know that Papa, but I don't care." Hermione admits, "Ever single full moon since I figured out the truth I've felt useless, I've watched you in pain, I've watched you suffer knowing that there is nothing I can do, but no more. I want to learnt to become an Animagus so that I can help you, even if that means doing something you don't want me to do." Hermione explains to her Papa, it being clear that she is telling the truth.
"Okay." Remus says as he and Sirius exchange looks, both of them recognizing their own stubbornness in their daughter, "But you will only learn under either mine or Sirius's supervision, not on your own." Remus tells is daughter, "Do you understand?"
"Yes Papa." Hermione answers.
"Could I learn too?" Harry asks curious.
"Do you want to?" Sirius asks.
"Yeah, I mean I had never thought about it before Mione mentioned it to me, but I'd like to." Harry admits as knowing that his Dad was one and Sirius, he'd like to be one too, and he'd like to help Remus.
"Okay." Remus once more says.
"Can we see your animal form?" Harry asks Sirius, as he's never seen it.
"Sure Pup." Sirius says before turning into Padfoot, as he does he runs over to Harry and Hermione and starts to lick them both.
"Oh, that's soo gross Dad."
"He's a pretty loveable dog though." Harry admits, as both he and Hermione pat Sirius.
"That he is." Remus confirms as Padfoot turns and runs over to Remus and pounces, "Oh, get off." Remus says, pretending to be annoyed as he pushes Sirius off, as Hermione and Harry laugh.
"Okay, first night home we have to do something special." Sirius says as he turns back into a human.
"What were you thinking?" Remus asks curious.
"Well I happened to have exchanged some Muggle money the other day so how about we go into the city and have a nice meal at a restaurant." Sirius suggests.
"I've never been to a fancy restaurant. The Dursely's would always leave me home." Harry reveals, causing the others to frown.
"Well we definitely have to go now." Sirius comments, trying to make his voice sound normal despite the anger he is feeling.
"But, won't I need fancy clothes for that? I don't have any." Harry comments.
"We've got plenty of time before dinner, we can do some shopping." Sirius says with a grin.
"No, no, no way am I going shopping with you again." Remus says to Sirius, looking horrified at the very thought.
"You don't have to; I know your size." Sirius says with a grin, "Hermione, Harry and I will go and you can stay here all alone."
"After last time I made the mistake of going shopping with you that sounds like a great idea." Remus comments, causing Harry and Hermione to exchange interested looks.
"Your loss, it just means I'm going to be picking out a whole lot of new clothes for you." Sirius says with a smirk.
"No, you're not."
"Yes, I am." Sirius says with a grin before walking closer to Remus, "I get it Rem, I do, I know why you wouldn't have wanted to spend my money, but now I can I'm going to spend it on you, and Hermione, and Harry and you're not going to stop me." Sirius tell Remus, his voice quiet, "And besides between the money I already had, the money Fudge gave, and your Hogwarts salary we don't have to worry about money, we're okay, Moon. Let yourself want for the first time in your life." Sirius says as Remus is the most unmaterialistic person he's ever known.
"I try." Remus says, "But I'm still not going shopping with you."
"Guess it's a good thing I know what I like on you then, or more specifically what I like off of you." Sirius comments, causing both Harry and Hermione to pull faces.
"Okay, is being disturbed by my parents something I've been missing?" Hermione asks Harry, looking grossed out.
"Apparently." Harry responds, also looking disturbed.
"I'm taking the car." Sirius says as he takes the keys out of Remus's pocket and quickly kisses him.
"Do you even remember how to drive?" Remus asks curious.
"Course." Sirius responds, "Come on Princess, Pup, let's go." He tells the two teenagers.
"Please remember that it's not my car and that you have two teenagers in the car so please do not drive the way you used to." Remus requests as Sirius walks to the front door, as Harry and Hermione stand up, "Hermione." Remus says and she turns back around to face her father, "Please try to stop him from going too over the top with what he buys."
"I'll try." Hermione says as she heads to the front door, having no idea just how hard that promise is going to be to keep.
A couple of hours after Sirius, Hermione and Harry left Remus is sitting in the study working on next year's lessons plans, something he decided to get started on as he doesn't like his chances of being able to do them later, when he hears a car pull out in the driveway so he gets up and heads out.
Just as Remus walks outside Hermione, Harry and Sirius get out of the car.
"Oh thank god that's over." Harry comments, looking relieved.
"It wasn't that bad, Pup." Sirius says, rolling his eyes.
"It kind of was." Hermione answers, "Almost the entire car is fill with bags." Hermione tells her Dad.
"Do I even want to know how much you spent?" Remus asks as he walks over.
"Probably not." Sirius admits, knowing what Remus is like when it comes to money, "I could have spent more though."
"I don't doubt it." Remus says, knowing that because he knows Sirius, "We better get your shopping inside." He says and together the family of four start to carry everything inside.
Hours later, Sirius, Remus, Harry and Hermione have had dinner at a fancy London restaurant and are walking to the train, Harry, Remus, and Sirius are all wearing nice trousers with button down shirts and jackets while Hermione is in a dress.
As they know that drawing attention to the fact that they are a couple in the muggle word won't end well Sirius and Remus are just walking side by side and not holding hands like they would like to be doing.
A few steps ahead of them Hermione and Harry are happily talking.
"Moon, how bad was Harry's life at the Dursley's?" Sirius asks concerned.
"Bad. Albus, Mione and I found him in the cupboard under the stairs, which had a note saying Harry's room, and he had a broken arm." Remus explains, his voice quiet.
"Damn it." Sirius says angrily, "He should have never gone there."
"You don't have to tell me, I tried Siri. I tried to get Albus to see that it wasn't where Harry should be and eventually he realised that he had been wrong, but it wasn't soon enough." Remus explains, guilt in his voice.
"I know you would have, Remy." Sirius responds, then sees something, "Hermione, Harry." He calls turning the two teens to turn around, "You two want ice cream?" he asks curious.
"Yes." Harry and Hermione say together.
"Aren't you full from dinner?" Remus asks surprised.
"Come on Moon, you always have room for chocolate and I always have room for ice cream, it's just the way the world works." Sirius says with a grin.
"How could I have forgotten." Remus says with a grin and the two of them follow Harry and Hermione into the ice cream shop.
To no one's surprised Remus and Hermione walk out of the ice cream shop a few minutes later holding double chocolate ice cream cones while Harry has strawberry and Sirius has rocky road.
"Just once will you ever choose a desert that doesn't involve chocolate?" Harry asks Hermione curious.
"Never." Hermione says with a smirk.
"Weren't you just saying a few minute ago that you were full." Sirius says to Remus.
"And you're the one who pointed out that I always have room for chocolate." Remus reminds Sirius.
"Oh, I remember." Sirius says with a smirk and the two of them continue to walk behind their kids, enjoying their first night out as a family.
Hours later Remus and Sirius are lying in bed together, Remus is asleep while Sirius is awake and just lying in his mate's arms, running his hands over all the new scars that litter his mate's body.
"I'll be back." Sirius says, placing a kiss on Remus's head before getting up, putting on a shirt and heading out of their room.
After leaving his and Remus's room Sirius walks straight over to Hermione's and, being as quiet as possible, Sirius opens Hermione's door and walks over to his sleeping daughter.
"I can't believe how much I've missed." Sirius says as he sits down next to his daughter, on her bed, and tucks her in a bit more, "But I promise Hermione, I won't miss anything else." He promises as he pushes Hermione's hair out of her face, "I'll be the father I always should have been, I'll always be here for you." Sirius promise as he leans down and places a kiss on Hermione's head.
After making sure that his daughter is fast asleep Sirius turns into Padfoot and lays at the end of Hermione's bed, watching her sleep.
June 12th 1994
Hours after Sirius left their room Remus wakes up and for the first time in two weeks Remus wakes up alone in bed,
"Sirius?" Remus asks, sounding panicked but he doesn't see any sign of his mate, "Padfoot?" he asks, starting to worry and so as quickly as he can Remus finds clothes and heads out of his room.
Heading over to Hermione's room Remus carefully opens the door and as he sees Padfoot curled up in a ball at the end of Hermione's bed he can't help but smile.
"Padfoot." Remus says, his voice not even above a whisper.
Hearing his mate's voice Padfoot turns to Remus and seeing him he jumps off Hermione's bed and walks over to Remus, leaving the room.
Once they are out in the hallway Sirius turns back into his human form as Remus closes the door to Hermione's room.
"Are you okay?" Remus asks concerned.
"I've missed so much Rem." Sirius says, pain in his voice, "You've spent so many nights alone, suffered through so many nights and gained so many scars that I wasn't there to help you heal." Sirius says sadly, "And our girl, our baby girl, isn't a baby any more. She's an incredibly smart, beautiful, young woman and I've missed watching her become that." He explains, "I've missed so much."
"Oh Siri." Remus says, pulling his mate into his arms, "I know it's not fair, you should have been here, and its Pettigrew's and Crouch's fault you weren't. Hermione may be a young woman now, but she still needs us, you can get to know her. I know it's not the same and I know it's not fair, but you need to think about all the days that are still to come rather than the days that have been taken away from you."
"It's hard not to." Sirius admit as he buries his head in the nook of Remus's neck.
"I know." Remus says as he places a kiss on Sirius's head, but as he does he realises that there is something else that Sirius wants to say, but isn't, "Siri? What is it? What else are you trying not to say? Whatever it is you can tell me." Remus assures him.
"She's so incredible, and so much like you." Sirius comments, sounding amazed, "She has the grey of my eyes, but I don't see much more than that… I know it's stupid." Sirius says, feel like an idiot for even being upset about it.
"It's not." Remus assures him, "But Padfoot she's a lot more like you than you realise." Remus reveals, as he's seen that, especially as Hermione has gotten older.
"Really?" Sirius asks, looking up at Remus.
"Really. Give it time, and you'll see it too." Remus confirms, before kissing Sirius, "It's still early, do you want to come back to bed for a while?" he asks once they break apart.
"Yeah, I do." Sirius says and the two of them head back to their bedroom.
June 13th 1994
It has been two days since Hermione, Harry, Remus and Sirius retuned home for the summer and it is early in the morning, being as quiet as possible as she doesn't want to wake either of her father's Hermione is sneaking over and into Harry's room.
"Harry, Harry, wake up." Hermione says, shaking her friend awake.
"Mione?" Harry asks, looking half asleep as he reaches for his glasses, "What's going on?" he asks as Hermione's face comes into clear view.
"There's something I could use your help with." Hermione admits as she sits down on the edge of Harry's bed.
"At five am?" Harry asks, checking the time.
"Yes."
"How much trouble are we going to get in from Sirius and Remus?" Harry asks curious.
"Why do you assume that we're going to get in trouble?" Hermione asks, feeling a little insulted, and Harry just gives her a look, "Okay fine, on the train Fred and George gave me an idea and considering how hot last night was last night I think it's the perfect time to give their idea a try." She reveals.
"Mione, when has any idea of Fred and George ended well?" Harry ask, not seeing this ending well.
"Does that mean you're not going to help?" Hermione asks.
"Of course I'll help, what are we doing?" Harry asks curious and with a smirk, that makes her look a lot like Sirius, Hermione begins to explain her idea.
A little while after Hermione woke up Harry Remus and Sirius are walking out of their room and the second they walk through their doorway the find themselves being drenched in water.
"What the hell?" Remus asks confused and as he does he and Sirius hear the sounds of laughter and they turn to see Harry and Hermione standing by the stairs and laughing.
"Look down." Harry says and Sirius and Remus look down to see a bucket of water balloons, as they do they both find themselves being hit with spray from water pistols.
"Oh really? You want to go?" Sirius asks, shaking his head like a dog, "I don't think dear Hermione and Harry have any idea what they've started, do you Moon?"
"No, Pad, I don't." Remus responds, causing Harry and Hermione to exchange looks.
"Well Pup, Princess, I have one word for you, run." Sirius tells them as he picks up one of the water balloons and with that one simple word an all-out water fight breaks out between Sirius, Remus, Harry and Hermione.
June 20th 1994
It has been a week since Harry, Hermione, Remus and Harry had a water fight that resulted in Sirius and Remus needing to use magic to dry things and clean up the water and since then, a couple more water fights have broken out, but they were all outside instead of inside the house.
It is a Monday morning and because Neville is spending the night Harry, Hermione and Neville are at the store buying supplies for bomb fire barbecue that they are going to be having.
"We don't need that many bags of marshmallows." Harry comments as Neville puts about ten bags into the trolley.
"It's on the list." Neville says in his defence.
"There is no way Remus put ten bags of marshmallows on the list." Harry says, knowing that.
"I'm pretty sure it was actually Dad who did, but I'm not complaining because it means I can get just as much chocolate." Hermione reveals.
"Are you sure that we're going to have enough for all this?" Harry asks worried as he looks between the list and the trolley.
"We'll be fine; Dad gave me plenty of money." Hermione explains.
"Good."
"So, what's next?" Neville asks curious.
"Um, the meat for the barbecue." Harry answers after once more checking the list.
"Okay, let's go." Neville says and the three teenagers continue to shop.
While Harry, Hermione and Neville are shopping Sirius is sitting on the couch at home looking through the albums of Hermione's life that Remus has put together when the fire bursts to life and Remus steps out as he does Sirius realises right away that something is wrong,
"What has Snape done now? And how badly do I need to make him hurt?" Sirius asks with a frown, knowing that Remus was going to see the potion master, as he puts the album he is looking at down.
"Apparently there was a miscommunication about when he needs to prepare the wolfsbane potion." Remus explains, looking hurt.
"What exactly does that mean?" Sirius ask as he stands up, not liking the sound of that.
"Severus was under the impression that he only has to prepare the wolfsbane potion for me during the semester so he hasn't made it." Remus explains, pain in his voice as he knows that this means he's going to once more lose control.
"We can get it from somewhere else right? Snape can't be the only person who makes it." Sirius says, "Whatever the price we'll pay it."
"It's not that simple Siri, it takes time to prepare, and not many people can make it, those who can need at least three weeks' notice." Remus explains, "I'm going to lose control again." Remus says, a tear coming to his eye.
"It will be okay, Moon. I'll be with you this time." Sirius says as he reaches out and wipes the tear away, "You went through plenty of full moons before the potion, it will be okay."
"No, it won't. You don't know what it's like Siri, for the first time I didn't just remember but I was in control, I didn't hurt myself, and I didn't almost hurt anyone else. For the first time I know who I am when I turn." Remus admits, looking close to crying, "I don't want to go back to being out of control."
"Oh Rem." Sirius says as he pulls Remus into a hug, honestly if Remus didn't so clearly need him right now he'd already be on his way to Hogwarts to make Snape pay for hurting Remus.
A little while after their conversation about marshmallows and money Hermione, Harry and Neville are walking back to Harry and Hermione's house sharing the shopping bags between them.
"Okay, when we were shopping did any of us think about how we would carry it home?" Hermione asks.
"Nope." Harry and Neville answer.
"You know if we could use magic this would be so much easier." Harry says in a quiet voice.
"It really would be." Neville confirms and Hermione nods in agreement.
"At least we're almost home." Hermione comments as her arms start to become sore.
"That is a good thing." Harry comments as truthfully his arms are becoming sore too and the three of them continue to walk.
A few minutes later Hermione, Harry and Neville walk into the house where they find Remus and Sirius still embracing in the living room.
"Dad? Papa? What's wrong?" Hermione asks as she, Harry and Neville put the bags down on the couch, all of them being glad to be free of the extra wait.
"Snape." Sirius says, angrily as they break apart.
"What's he done now?" Harry asks angrily.
"He's not going to make the wolfsbane potion over the summer." Remus reveals.
"What! He has to." Hermione says, sounding angry.
"Technically he only has to make it during the school year." Remus explains to his daughter.
"That's not fair." Hermione says angrily, "I'll make it for next month, Papa."
"Hermione we've talked about this." Remus says, causing Sirius to look surprised.
"That was before I made the Polyjuice potion without help." Hermione reminds her Papa.
"You did?" Sirius asks surprised.
"Yeah, during second year. It was perfect." Harry says with a proud smile.
"That's very impressive, Mione, not many adults can do that." Sirius says, calling her Mione for the first time since he has been back, "I'm proud of you." Sirius tells his daughter, it being clear that he means that.
"That's Dad." Hermione says with a smile, "I can do this, Papa, I can make this potion for you." She reveals, looking at her Papa.
"Not until after you have a conversation with Albus about the potion." Remus says, suggesting Albus rather than Severus as he knows it will end better.
"Yes Papa." Hermione says, crossing her fingers behind his back, something that both Harry and Neville notice but neither are going to mention.
"Good. Now we better get all this food put away." Remus says, "And start to prepare it."
"Can I help with that?" Harry asks.
"Of course."
"Mione, Neville do you want to help me come get more wood?" Sirius asks curious.
"Sure." Hermione and Neville answer and the group of five go in different directions.
A little while later Hermione and Neville are with Sirius getting fire wood while Remus and Harry are at home preparing the food.
"That's the last of the wood." Neville says.
"Thanks Neville." Sirius says and Neville heads to the back seat while Hermione doesn't move, "Hermione?"
"You're going to be with Papa during the full moon, right?" Hermione asks Sirius.
"Of course."
"Good..." Hermione says, looking glad, and looking like she is debating something, something which Sirius notices.
"Hermione? What is it?" Sirius asks his daughter in concern.
"After really bad full moons Papa would call for you, he never remembers, but he did." Hermione explains, and Sirius looks upset at that as he realises another way he has let down his family, "I don't mean to make you upset."
"Oh you didn't, Princess." Sirius assures his daughter, "You just reminded me of how much I let you and Remus, and even Harry, down."
"You haven't let us down." Hermione quickly says.
"That's nice of you to say, but I should have been there for you both, and I'm so sorry that I wasn't." Sirius tells his daughter.
"You don't have to keep apologising." Hermione tells Sirius, "You chose to go after Pettigrew because he betrayed two of your best friends, you didn't know that Crouch would just throw you in Azkaban, you didn't know that you wouldn't get the chance to explain yourself." Hermione says, taking a step towards her father, "I forgive you, Dad, even though you have no reason to be sorry, but you need to start to forgive yourself."
"You're pretty incredible, you know that?" Sirius asks and Hermione nods, "I love you Princess, so much." Sirius tells his daughter, pulling her into a hug.
"I love you too, Dad."
At the Lupin-Black/Potter house Remus and Harry are in the kitchen preparing the food that they are going to barbecue.
"Are you okay, Harry?" Remus asks concerned.
"I'm fine, why do you ask?" Harry asks curious.
"You've quieter than normal." Remus comments.
"I'm fine." Harry lies.
"You know you can talk to me, no matter what." Remus says, being able to tell that Harry is lying.
"I know."
"Then what's wrong?" Remus asks curious, "It's okay, Harry, whatever it is you can talk to me."
"You're going to think I'm being an idiot." Harry admits, as he avoids looking at Remus.
"I promise you that I'm not going to think that." Remus assures him, "Just tell me, Harry, whatever it is."
"I'm so glad Sirius is home, I'm beyond thrilled that he is innocent and finally free, I am." Harry assures Remus, "I just can't help but think that I don't belong, that I'm not really a part of this family." Harry mutters, his voice so quiet that Remus can only barely hear it.
"Oh Harry, you are a part of this family." Remus says, moving so that he can put both his hands on Harry's shoulders and look at him directly in the eyes, "I love you like you are my own son, and I know Sirius feels the same way." Remus reveals, knowing that because he and Sirius have talked about it.
"Really?" Harry asks, looking up at Remus.
"Really." Remus assures him, "You are a member of this family, Harry, you always have been." Remus assures him, "This is your home, we are your family and always will be." Remus says and Harry throws his arms around Remus.
"I love you, Remus."
"I love you too, Harry." Remus responds as they embrace.
Hours later Sirius, Remus, Harry, Hermione and Neville have all eaten their dinner and are sitting around the bomb fire in the back yard, Remus sitting between Sirius's legs as he leans on his chest while the three teenagers roast marshmallows.
"Hey, Mione, Harry, Neville. Want to see a show?" Sirius asks curious.
"Sure."
"Yep."
"What kind of show?" Harry, Neville and Hermione respectively ask.
"One you're all going to like." Remus says, having enough experience to know what Sirius is going to like.
"Just like? I'm insulted Moon." Sirius says, pretending to be insulted.
"You'll live." Remus responds and Sirius pulls his wand and preforms a spell to cause shapes and animals to be formed in the flames.
"Wow." Hermione says amazed.
"That's so cool." Neville says, also looking amazed.
"Do you take requests?" Harry asks curious.
"Of course." Sirius answers.
"Moony, Padfoot and Prongs." Harry requests.
"My favourite." Sirius says as he cases a wolf, dog and stag to appear in the flames and then dance over everyone's heads.
"Mine too." Remus confirms, looking up at Sirius who leans down and meets his lips in a gentle kiss.
Across the fire Harry, Hermione and Neville exchange smile as they are all really glad to see Remus, and Sirius so happy.
"How many marshmallows do you think I can fit on one roasting fork?" Harry asks the other two curious.
"I don't know." Neville answers.
"But I think I think you have to find out." Hermione says with a grin.
"That I do." Harry confirms and with a smile he attempts to fit as many marshmallows on a fork as possible.
"We have a really amazing family, don't we?" Sirius whispers to Remus once they finish kissing.
"That we do." Remus confirms and he and Sirius watch Harry, Hermione and Neville, both of them having looks of joys on their faces and feeling that they have the most amazing family ever.
