Welcome back readers! I hope you enjoy this one as much as you have the first Story that began this journey! :)
UPDATED:9/30/2019
Okay, as you can see I'm going to be doing this one of the movies so to speak, because I haven't had the chance to sit down and actually read the books all the way through, so if I take longer to update the chapters it's because I'm actually taking the time to read the book better than I have, this way I get a better feel for the books and the movies to see the bigger differences that I know there are plenty of. I know the books have more details in them than the movies and I'd like to try to incorporate both movie and book in this to see if I can make everything flow better.
Chapter 23
Harry sighed walking down for Breakfast when he found Draco sitting in the small living room staring at a few letters. He had refused to talk since he got them and that had been two days ago. Harry was getting worried.
Ron bounded down the steps with excitement, the twins and Ginny right behind him with Hermione. Summer had just started about a week ago and they were already having the best time they'd had. Sirius was fun and adventurous, and the twins loved being around him, they talked about pranks and tricks and what they'd done.
Sirius shared a few secrets with them and the others, even Ginny had listened in then pranked the boys with Hermione when they weren't paying attention. He had been so baffled he'd simply looked at the girls with shock, but his shock had turned to pride in the girls while the others looked at the two laughing females as if they were aliens.
"If you're going to talk about pranks don't do it around us if you don't want to be turned into test subjects" Ginny giggled, pulling a laughing Hermione along with her only to scream with excitement three minutes later after the front door opened was answered.
"AH! there are my girls!" a woman called with equal excitement.
"Dora!"
"Hey, so guess what your father got a few days ago, Gin." Dora asked, her hair turning pink with excitement as the two girls bounced with joy, "What?"
"Tickets for the entire family and a few friends to go to the Quidditch World Cup. Irish vs Bulgaria." Dora said grinning, as the two girls jumped with excitement squealing like giddy schoolgirls.
"I've always wanted to see a World Cup tournament!" Ginny said and ran back into the kitchen to Emma and her mother, "Mum, mum, mum! Guess what Dora just told Hermione and me!"
Molly shared a smiling look with Emma out of the corner of one another's eye "Does this little surprise have anything to do with why you were squealing with excitement?"
"Yes! Dad got tickets for us to go to the Quidditch World Cup! The whole family!" Ginny was excited, she couldn't come down from it.
Sirius walked up to them laughing as he watched the bouncing girl and wrapped his arms around Dora in a tight hug. "Hey Dora." His heart broke at how much she had grown, how much time he'd missed, "Merlin you grew up."
Dora took a few breaths to hold herself together, but it didn't stop a few tears from falling, "That's what happens when you age Sirius, by the way, mum says hello and sorry she couldn't come today. Dad's been sick for a few days so she's home taking care of him." 'We finally have you home.'
"Breakfast is done, Dora, we made your favorite." Molly said as she and Emma started setting homemade biscuits and the rest of Breakfast on the table as everyone crowded around, everyone but Draco.
At Draco's absence Harry decided to say something, his friend had been silent for a few days too long and it was not him at all. Walking into the living room silently Harry knocked gently onto the small side table startling the blond from his comfortable reclined position, "Sorry, wasn't trying to startled you, um Breakfast is done."
Draco sighed with relief seeing it was only Harry and went back to his position, propping his legs back up over the arm of the sofa, "Yeah, I heard. Not hungry, though. Thanks."
"Come on Draco, you haven't eaten anything for two days and you've been quiet too. You're worrying us, what happened? ... Come on, talk to me." Harry waited as patiently as he could, except he didn't have to wait too long.
Draco sighed in defeat as he sat himself up and handed the two letters to Harry who began to read them. One from was withwritten in Lucius hand, a documents of disownment and Emancipation already signed by both his parents. The other from his mother telling her son of an unknown bank account and records under the name Lilian Rose E.B. Weasley and papers of guardianship, and most shockingly, forms of adoption addressed to Emma and Sirius.
"I'm doing this for your safety. Hopefully, once this is all over, we can be a family again. Until then, I have to do my part in the shadows to ensure your survival. I'll always love you, no matter what happens. Don't hate your father, he's scared, unsure of what to do, he's doing what he feels is needed to survive. He hasn't realized that by doing things this way, he's lost his family and I will not lose you too. Give this letter and the forms to Emma, she'll know what to do, I love you Draco. You will always be my son, you will always be a Malfoy."
Harry sighed, that was a lot to take in from the letters, now Harry was depressed on behalf of Draco, "Well, I can definitely see why you've been so upset lately, I mean anyone would be. But, Draco, your mum is trying to protect you, you father is scared which means something… Someone, is coming our way that frightens him. However, I think his uh… His harshness of these documents are not his way of, um…" He really didn't want to say it because he didn't want to make Draco feel worse.
He was soon comforted by the blonde when he shrugged and laughed a little at Harry's hesitation, "It's okay, say it. I think the same thing. He's disowned me because I'm not only no longer a Slytherin, but I'm not even regarded as his son anymore. I'm barely like my mother, but I have more of her in me than him. To my father, if I'm not in Slytherin with no desire to live in the Malfoy Manor then I'm no longer his child, well, no longer a Malfoy child, he's still my dad and I've never been this bothered by him doing something close to this. Now, I can't help but feel betrayed, abandoned and very disturbed that he not only considered this, but actually went through with it." Draco had no idea how to feel about this because he truly did feel betrayed and alone now, even though he really wasn't, but no one he knew could possibly understand what he was feeling right now. They all still had their family, none of their parents disowned them and told them not to bother coming back home. "I, uh, I think I'm just going to go out to the gardens for a while. Get some fresh air." Draco was up and walking out before Harry had a chance to try stopping him, but it hadn't stopped Harry from rushing after him through the kitchen. However, he was stopped by the door to the Gardens closing in his face, making him sigh in defeat.
Harry walked into the Dining room and sat in his chair, he had somewhat lost his appetite, but he knew he needed to eat.
Emma, and everyone else, had seen Harry's reaction, watching him pick at his food and eat it once in a while as Breakfast went on. He had no idea how to help Draco through this. And with Draco wishing to be alone for the time being Harry would leave this alone for the moment until later.
Emma gently elbowed Sirius and nodded to Harry, everyone wearing a concerned face.
"Harry? What's wrong?" Ginny asked him, she was sitting next to him after all and his inability to want to eat did call for concern, he was always hungry.
Harry didn't say a single thing as he got up and handed the papers and documents to Emma then sat back down telling Ginny, "It's not my place to say, I'm just kind of not really that hungry at the moment, but my appetite will come back in a bit. I'll be fine." He said with a weak smile to her, it didn't exactly help her not worry, but she let it alone for the time.
Molly, Sirius and Tonks watched Emma read the two letters, looking at the documents and read them with a look of shock and disappointment. Seeing enough, Emma handed the papers to Sirius, "I think this is your department dear. I have no idea how to talk to him regarding this."
Sirius and the others gave her a look of confusion, watched as Sirius took the letters and documents and watched his face fall. Rubbing his eyes as he sighed, "Yeah, I think you're right. Give me a moment, save some breakfast for Draco will you Love. I'll be back in a bit." Sirius said, wiping his mouth clean he kissed Emma's cheek and walked out into the Garden. Smiling softly when Draco sighed, slightly irritated, "I take it Harry said something then?"
"Uh, no actually he gave the letters you left in his hands to Emma, who then turned and gave them to me." Sirius informed him, putting his hands into his pockets and stood off to the side of the sulking blond, Sirius was most likely the only one that knew how he was feeling.
"Right, well, I guess you all we're going to find out sooner or later. But I doubt any of you will understand, no one can help me through this, I'm on my own really."
"That's not exactly true, Emma and I will be signing those Guardianship forms tonight with you, you'll always have a home with Emma, Harry and myself, Draco. You're not alone in this. Your mother loves you, Narcissa was never the kind to abandon her family, she never abandoned Bellatrix, no matter how crazy Bella is. And she never, not once, abandoned Emma. She's certainly hasn't left your father. She loves him. But she loves you more. So, she'll never abandon you. Now, you actually got lucky on that part, my entire family, biological family that is, besides Andromeda, abandoned me. My mother burned me off the family tree tapestry in our home, a home I was given when my mother passed away only because my father wanted nothing to do with it, he even abandoned Kreatcher, our family house elf. We're actually going tomorrow to see the old Estate."
Confused, Draco's head piped up looking at Sirius like he had two heads, which just made Sirius laugh, "Wait, your entire family disowned you? Why?" He must have forgotten that, Draco knew his mother was cousins with Sirius Black, but he must have forgotten he was Disowned.
Sirius was used to it, he didn't go around parading that his family had disowned him because of 'blood traitor' reasons. With a shrug and a nod, he went ahead and answered the boy, "Yes, and it was a Potter that took me in. I was disowned because I refused to join their cause of the pure bloods and I continued doing things that would irritate and anger them, which was really being myself but most of the time I just liked seeing if I could give my mother an aneurysm. It was quite funny really. I was a disappointment to them really. But the Potters never saw me as anything but a wonderful, fun loving kid that simply needed love. I just hated doing homework, really the only ones' that could really get me to do any form of homework was Emma or Remus. James and I always seemed to find troubles." His voice was soft, fatherly gentle and full of memories as he spoke of James Potter. Taking a seat next Draco, both smiling and softly laughing.
"Well, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one that's gone through this really, I have someone else that can give me some idea how to handle this, even if the situations are a bit different. My mothers' doing this for my safety, yours did it because she was disappointed. But I don't see anything to be disappointed about." Draco sighed, rubbing his face, "I honestly didn't think this would hurt this much." He admitted, holding back his tears for as long as he could, but he couldn't anymore, someone knew how it felt to be alone.
Letting his tears fall Draco began to cry, he wanted to be able to relate to Harry on this, but their situations were very much different, Draco's abandoned him, one out of anger, hatred and disappointment and the other out of protection. Harry's parents had unfortunately been murdered, ripped from the poor boys' life before they had the chance to really live. Harry's and Draco's loneliness feelings were too different.
Sirius sighed, saddened that another child was going through this all over again, in truth, it was like he was watching himself break down, but Draco had what Sirius was a little envious of, a mother that was trying to protect her son. Placing a comforting hand onto Draco's back, Sirius remembered what James's father had done when he had told them what had happened with his family. Fleamont had simply sat with Sirius and gave the saddened teen a fatherly hug, and that was what Sirius did, he took example from Fleamont Potter and pulled the grieving boy into his arms and let him cry.
They had no idea how long that were out in the Gardens, Sirius just wanted Draco to get all of the emotions out of his system, giving him all the time, he needed. The boy had been through a lot, he'd been unsorted from Slytherin, somehow, then re-sorted into Gryffindor, which has never happened, that sorting would go down through history, Draco was now actually famous.
When Draco took a calming sigh, he pulled from the comforting embrace he'd never really even had from his own father and wiped his tears from his face, trying to recollect himself before going back inside to eat what was left of Breakfast, Harry was right, he needed to eat, it had been two days since he last ate and today was not going to be a third, especially if the entire house had any say. And Molly Weasley would be damned if she let a child go three days without food. He should be glad she had let him be for the two days that he hadn't, because in truth he had nearly made himself sick with grief when he read his parents letters.
"You ready to go inside to eat? I had Emma save you some Breakfast." At Draco's weak smiling nod Sirius patted the boy's arm and walked him inside finding Emma, Hermione, Molly and Ginny cleaning the kitchen and everything else in the kitchen while the rest cleaned up the Dining room, Tonks sweeping the floors with the broom around the tables in the Dining room and the kitchen.
Sirius and Draco smiled wider when Molly turned her cheerful smiled on them, "Ah, Draco, dear you're Breakfast is still on the Dining table." She said, continuing her cleaning as a knock came to the front door.
"I got it!" Ginny shouted and rushed to the door, opening it she was a bit confused, "Neville? Is everything okay?"
"Uh, Y-yeah. Um, my grams told me to come for a few weeks, said she didn't want me in the house while she's sick. Um, can uh, may I come in?" Neville was nervous, he hated showing up unexpected like he had, but his Grams had gotten sick suddenly and his aunt and uncle were taking her to St. Mungo's if she got worse in the next few days, "Yeah-Yes, definitely. Mum, Auntie Em! Neville's here!" Ginny shouted into the house moving aside and letting the nervous boy inside and smiled sweetly at him as she closed the door. "They're in the Kitchen Neville, have you had Breakfast yet?"
"Uh, yeah, I ate before I left Gram's an hour or so ago. Thank you, Ginny." He smiled in thanks as they walked into the Kitchen. He smiled big and wide at Emma when she walked up to him and hugged him, "Hello Neville, is everything alright?"
"Um, Grams got sick a few nights ago, said to come here for a while until she got better. She doesn't want me catching it. I think she'll be fine really, but my Aunt and Uncle agreed with her about me not being there until she got through it. It's probably just the Flu really, but they said if she doesn't get any better that they'll be taking her to the Hospital in a few days."
"Well that is a bit concerning, I hope she'll be fine, we can write to her later tonight and check on her if you want. You know which room is your, go ahead and get settled in, we're going to go out back and help the others practice Quidditch." Emma saw his nervousness when she mentioned flying, "It's alright Neville, you don't have to fly if you don't want to. But if you want, I can help you learn to fly safely near the ground."
His smile was still nervous, but it held a bit of excitement, he would still be near the ground, he was still terrified of flying but he wanted to try to get over the fear of being on the broom, he may need to use it one day, "Really? Madam Hooch is a wonderful teacher, but my first lesson was a horrible experience."
"Oh, hey Neville." Draco walked out, empty plate in hand and walked past them to wash his dirty plate and cup, "Hey, oh, by the way, I heard you got put into Gryffindor. Congratulations, though I'm sorry you had to get resorted. I honestly have no idea what I'd do if I had to be resorted. But I'm glad you'll be around Harry and the others. You seemed happy with being around them when second year ended." Neville spoke to Draco nervously, he'd never actually spoke to Draco before, he had bullied the poor Longbottom boy their first year and after their second and third year ended the two still hadn't spoken.
Draco smiled kindly at Neville and nodded, "Yeah, I got lucky really. They just put up with me." Draco joked, Hermione laughed and wrapped an arm around Draco's neck with a big smile on her face, "I think we all got lucky. I for one, am excited to have you in Gryffindor. Now we don't have to worry about you not getting any sleep or Finn messing with you while in Slytherin Common room. This way we can stick together 100%."
Molly smiled big and bright as Ron and Harry walked over to Draco and Hermione, each swinging an arm around one another smiling and laughing, "Together then?" Harry laughed playfully, puffing up his chest with a grin making the group laugh.
Draco, seeing an opening to poke fun at him, poked Harry in his gut as Ron and Hermione began tickling him. This made everyone laugh and scream from the rough playful nature that was getting started in the Kitchen.
"Out of the kitchen if you guys are all going to do that," Molly and Emma laughed out in unison and all four teens began chasing each other out and playfully shoving one another, Draco patting Neville's arm as he walked by, "Come on Neville, let's get you settled in your room then we can all go hang out by the lake."
Neville smiled wide with happiness and excitement, "Really?"
"Yeah, come on. Why wouldn't we bring you along?" Ron laughed, "Hope you brought swimming trunks Neville. Draco likes to try tossing people into the lake." He said joking, the five walking up the staircase towards the rooms, "Uh, Y-yeah, I have swimming trunks."
Fred and George snickered and grinned as they stood next to their mother, "Poor Neville, has no idea how much Draco and Harry are going to toss him into that water."
"That's you two and Draco, don't you remember last week. Ginny and Hermione nearly ended up waterlogged because of you two." Molly gently scolded her twins but her fun loving and joking nature ended quickly when she watched Emma put a hand over her mouth looking green, "Dear heavens, Emma, are you alright?" But Emma gave no answer. Molly followed after her a short distance trying to see if she was alright but stopped at the first step and shouted up after the redhead, "Emma! George follow her, make sure she's alright. Sirius- Oh bother, where did that man go now. Fred, Ginny help me find him."
Emma rushed up the stairs, past the five teens that just got into Neville's room, each one of them laughing and playfully shoving one another, trying to get Neville lightly accustomed to their playful nature, but they too soon followed after Emma as she rushed into a bathroom across the hall from Neville's room and began emptying her stomach of morning breakfast.
They watched with worry, moving from the room to try to see if she was alright as George push past them, knelt beside her and pulled her hair from her face, "You alright?" he asked.
Emma took a few panting breaths, attempting to answer, she had gone right back to vomiting. George had to look away, he didn't want to give sympathy heaves, "Hermione, do you have a hair tie?"
The girl was brought from her daze when George spoke to her letting her shake herself awake, "Uh, y-yeah… Here." She said pulling her tie from her hair and handed it to the twin, "Is she alright?"
"Don't know, she was before she ran up here." He answered with a shrug, pulling his aunts long, thick curling hair into a disaster of a bun and began to gently rub her back. "She just random got green and ran up here-"
"She is right he-" Emma had tried to be sarcastically snide to the group for talking about her right there while she was getting sick, but her vomiting was getting in the way. This only gave in to George somewhat giggling at her attempts, "Well, now what could have caused this random turn of events, Foxy?" Sirius asked, a wide grin on his face, moving between the group that Molly was ushering away to lean against the door, "It's too early for that Sirius, you know that, last time we were with each other was-"
"Yes, I know, a few nights ago. However, we haven't left one another's comforters since we've been reunited in the cabin a few months ago."
"You seriously think I could have been pregnant from that moment? Really Sirius Black." She panted, George took this moment to opt out while he still could, wished Sirius luck and laughed as he left to join the others.
Sirius too was laughing as he walked into the bathroom, this happened to also be the same bathroom Lily had gotten sick in before Harry was born, he couldn't stop laughing at how ironic this moment was, "Actually yes. We'll get you a Doctor's appointment just in case though, you got pregnant easily the last time, why not the second time around? Though, I wish you would have told me instead of me finding out in Dumbledore's office upon Peter's arrest." he asked sitting next to her and taking over for George's absent to rub her back in comfort.
"It was too early to tell last time too, unfortunately we happened to be right that time, I wasn't getting sick last time- oh God-" Emma quickly re-positioned herself to lean over the pot and continued getting sick. Truthfully, he was hoping she was, otherwise he'd have something to worry about, "Poppy said she was on her way." Molly informed them, this news shocked the two in the bathroom, but since Sirius was the only one that could speak at the moment, he chose to speak for them both, "That fast?"
"I've kind of had her on call the past month involving Emma's health. When she was asleep after Pettigrew was arrested, Poppy found something strange reacting with her body, we weren't sure, so we had to wait until she showed any signs. We didn't want to say something and get your hopes up at all. Especially after the last time."
Emma moaned with disgust, trying to stay calm from the action of vomiting, she hated getting sick, but so did everyone that she knew of. "If I am- one moment," She moaned with a sick feeling yet again, she was going to say if she was pregnant then she was probably farther along than she thought. She had thought a few days ago she may have gained weight, but even if she was three months along she shouldn't feel as tight in her clothes as she was feeling, her bra's didn't even fit comfortably anymore, but the puking was getting in the way and she was becoming very annoyed, "Easy, Love. There you go, just let it out…"
"Now I think I know why Lily hated James for a while when she was pregnant. But I have to agree now, you and Molly may be right, though I have to be more than just a few months along if I'm feeling tight in my clothes and puking this much already… Right? I mean, Lily got sick more often when she was about… What was it, four months? I'm not exactly showing though. I'm as small as Lily at her age." Emma groaned as she leaned back into Sirius's arms, resting as comfortably as she could.
Molly smiled happily with a shrug, "You're naturally small dear, but morning sickness happens when it wants to, maybe you have twins. I know I did the same with Fred and George." She offered up her personal experience with her children and nearly laughed when Emma groaned a bit more and went back to getting sick, "This is going to be interesting. I'll leave you two be then, Poppy should be arriving sometime soon to check on her."
Sirius couldn't help but silently laugh while Emma got sick and complained, he knew she hated being sick, especially when it involved emptying her stomach, it was kind of funny to him. But as the minutes turned into an hour, he and the others waited downstairs for Poppy to finish checking Emma, his heart jumped to his throat when the two walked in all smiles and Emma blushing, "You are, aren't you?" He asked standing from the counters tall chair and wrapped her in his arms as she giggled and nodded, but it was her saying it that made him nearly cry, "Yes, I am."
Poppy smiled wide, walking next to Molly, who looked as though she were about to cry with joy, she had in fact almost let the tears roll when Poppy spoke again, verifying what she had said earlier, "With twins, congratulations you two. Now, I have other patience currently waiting at the hospital, Emma I'll have appointments set up for you by next week and I will send you a list with the dates and time over the next nine to ten months. However, I will be suggesting you not return to work at Hogwarts as part of Security, I'll inform Minerva and Dumbledore and see what they'd like to do for you. I know you could never stay off your feet for long. There's only so much cleaning you can do to the homes you and Sirius have. By the way, thank you so much for letting me and my husband use the cabin for the summer, it's very beautiful." Poppy said praising the young woman, "How's the clothesline coming along by the way?" she asked with excitement.
Emma and Sirius laughed, she had definitely spoken a mouth full, but her excitement was very enjoyable with the wonderful news they were officially able to verify to others, "You're very welcome Poppy, I am glad you both like it and the Clothing line is coming along great. I'm still trying to get Molly to let my agent sell her creations also, but she keeps saying no so I won't push it. But that just means more for the kids and me, because I love the sweaters and scarves, I love everything. It's all so warm and nature like. I like looking and feeling cheerful." She said all bubbly.
"Well, I'm glad it's all coming into place. But I must be off, take care sweetheart, say hello to the children for me." with that, Poppy was gone, Disapparating off and leaving everyone happy and bouncing all day, exhausting them when it was time for bed.
Emma and Sirius had curled up in one another's arms that night, laughing about how the kids had reacted, "I'm surprised George didn't say anything to them when he left." Emma giggled.
He smiled, almost laughing with her, his fingers lightly tracing his fingertips over her cheek bone and curling his hand through her hair, finally holding her face in hand. "Agreed, but he may not have because if it turned out that you were sick then it would have been a really bad twist. I'm just happy we finally get the chance to finish our journey that we started twelve years ago." Sirius was mesmerized, they were one another's safe haven. He was shocked and grateful she was not only beautiful but could hold her own and fight for what she believed in, but her stubbornness was what worried him.
The month moved on, Hermione went home for a few weeks to spend time with her parents, Molly had decided to take the kids back to the Burrow for the week before the World Cup to give Emma and Sirius time to themselves.
Emma had been two months pregnant when they officially found out. None of them knew the World Cup was a target set for the Death Eaters. Worst of all Athella and Horus had gone with them.
During the current summer, Mellena had made permanent residence at the home on Hogwarts grounds when Severus panicked and made them liquidate the home outside of the school's compound then proceeded to rent a one room apartment near Diagon Alley. Mellena had definitely not been happy with that arrangement.
When they kids arrived at the World Cup, Horus had stuck close to Draco and Harry while Athella held ahold of Fred's hand as she skipped alongside both twins. They were all having fun, dancing around singing and making fun of Ron for his comment about Viktor Krum. Fred was laughing and trying to sign along with his twin but couldn't help laughing as Athella danced around with him and George. Their fun soon ended and had panicked when the campers were attacked by the Followers of the Dark Lord.
Ginny accidently ran into Fred and George, Athella tightly gripping her hand then clung to the young Weasley sister when their eyes fell upon the cloaked people parading around with a skeleton face masks, chanting words they couldn't exactly understand, "Get back to the port key everyone! Fred, George, Ginny and Athella are in your care. Ron! You four have Horus, now stick together everybody!" he said looking at all four fourth years.
Everyone had run for it, leaving their things behind, caring only for their lives and worrying for the rest as they split up.
The twins held onto Ginny and a stumbling ten-year-old Athella who was worried because she couldn't see Horus. Fred handed Ginny off the George and lifted Athella into his arm and continued running, meeting everyone back at the portkey, the only problem was, Harry was missing.
They had thankfully found him, but the four friends had nearly been Stupified by the Ministry Aurors and Barty Crouch, who weren't about accusing the four kids of conjuring the Dark Mark, "There just kids Barty! They don't even know how to conjure that curse."
Emma and Sirius were very unhappy when they heard the news and Flooed to the Burrow to check on everyone, "Molly, oh thank Heavens, what happened? Is everyone alright?"
"Yes, everyone is alright Emma. Now, sit down. I made some tea for everyone, how's that sound?"
"Yeah, yes please. Tea sound nice, Thank you Molly." Emma panted in panic. Arthur had pulled a chair out for young woman quickly and allowed Sirius to guide her to sit down to relax, three months pregnant in August and she was already having high blood pressure. They really didn't want to risk this time around with what happened last time. Though, they knew it had helped when the kids came in all laughing and joking around and hugging her and Sirius tightly and tell them they were all alright, "I'm taking Ella and Horus back to their mum in a bit, she may be having a panic attack soon really. News travels fast even without the Daily Prophet." Fred joked sincerely.
He was right though.
