**-Going to Tea –**

Jealous Miss Bossy and Trouble- or Nobody is Perfect

After the vow everyone got ready to leave for tea at Grant's home. While the children played, the Granger couple updated the others about their intentions with Harry.

They asked Sirius if the idea were agreeable; however, he wouldn't answer, seemingly distressed. At the end, he decided, grudgingly, that while Harry was so young having a mother and father around could do him some good. Regardless, he'd need time to make a final decision, and they agreed to see what needed to be done. Additionally he also wanted to stay close to them for a long while, but for today, they would defer any interim decisions until they met with the older Grangers. He wanted to asses their acceptance.

Soon it was time to depart. The young wizards dressed in Muggle finery were enough to make Cissy and Jeanie smile. They were just breathtaking, they loved their spouses but weren't blind. Thallia caught their looks, and they all laughed a bit guiltily.

Lucius and Grant looked at each other and harrumphed.

Serpens laughed joining the young women, "Young roosters, I have nothing to worry about." He remarked cockily as he held his witch by her shoulders.

"Yes, you do," Thallia said with a bewitching smile. She appeared as a beautiful and well kept sixty year old Muggle or even younger. Needless to say that Serpens didn't like her answer one bit. Lucius gave him an imperious look overnoticing that Serpens no longer smiled.

Grant's thought that Jeanie might not be a 'mate,' but he realized that his feelings were exactly like Lucius' for Cissy, jealous, possessive and needing her near him.

Yes, he thought, he disliked other males close to Jeanie except for Peter, his brother. At this, he felt a pang of sorrow for the three of them. If they were magical maybe it could have been different. He still wish it could, he missed him and the three of them..those times...perhaps, they should have ignored their parent's as Jeanie wanted; nobody would had been the wiser. Even sadder, Mimi might be Peter's, and he had been denied the joy to see her grow up. He often thought about it.

He still wondered how had their parents found out...and he said, loud enough for Jeanie to hear, "Rose, it was her..." He saw her questioning glance, "Later," he mouthed. He came closer to her to whisper something when he heard Hermione's forceful tone.

"Mommy, I invitated Dobby and Mizy, to come to Papa's," Hermione wasn't asking, she was telling Jeanie, well aware that were fixing to leave.

The two elves were wringing their hands afraid to be reprimanded. This was Hermione. She's a bit bossy, assumed, made decisions, and besides, she was very tired and grumpy.

"Ah, hmm, I don't think it is a good idea, "Jeanie answered.

"Why not? They wana come, asides you told me that is polited to invite guests." Mimi retorted. "I bring them, Papa and Oma tolds me, my darling Mimi brings your friends." Her posture nothing short of regal and defiant, her tone curt; the Healer Pixie had gone to her head, and she was not one who easily gave up.

"Yes, but well, they are, hmm." Jeanie was stuck and looked all around for help.

"Short?" Harry suggested. Grant rolled his eyes and held his lips tight trying to control a guffaw.

"Yes, but no, it isn't that. All right, they are magical, and you cannot bring magic around many people. Miss Rose has friends at your grandfather's home." Jeanie offered, nearly laughing over Harry's innocent remark. She was basking under Harry's love.

They'd held no illusions about having a boy, they knew another child, was another girl which was lovely but a boy would be very nice; hence Harry was nothing short of very good fortune. She had fallen in love with yet another man, and this made three. She smiled thinking that this one was a little young for her, but was elated he was her son, her little son.

Hermione was very tired and a little grouchy, hence parents were hoping for a nap-time. However, they knew there would be at least two more children at his parent's and the chances would be slim.

She stomped her foot, once, twice... a big no-no at her home, "It isn't fer, I wants to bring' em, Uncle Remy can hides' em from Miss Rose." Her voice and posture were not very nice.

Harry was aghast and ran to hold Jeanie's hand, "Mimi you cannot talks loud to Mommy. It is rude and nauty. No, no, jung lass!" He said a little too loud, visibly distressed.

Jeanie felt his little hand, cold and trembling. He was angry with Hermione; his lips were closed very tight. Amazing, his hair messier, than usual, crackled just like Mimi's when she was upset. Oh great, another hair 'crackler' in the family. Jeanie sighed loudly.

"I am aksings my MOMMY, you quiet! She isn't yours, she's MINE." Hermione yelled some of the words and her face was scrunched with nastiness as she ran to Jeanie, at once she pushe and wrestle with Harry, trying to get him away from her mom, and was already forcing his hand to open, "Give me my Mommy, MINE." Her fingers starting to shoot small sparks, when she felt big hands pick her up.

"I think a young lady must apologize to Harry and to Mommy right away. And if she doesn't, she won't have book to read before nap time." Grant looked at the pouting hellion right on the eye. She stared back and refused to back out, not even a bit. To escalate, she crossed her arms, which was sure to further challenge her father.

Harry, who was also tired, cried big fat tears, followed by sobs, and Jeanie bent to pick him up. Draco watched the scene with his mouth wide open; he was horrified because he didn't get in trouble, not often. He hoped his parents didn't learn from the Grangers. Mimi was about to get in big, big trouble; and this time his Veela was quiet. Draco had reasoned that Mimi was behaving ugly, and he wan't about to join her.

"I am sleepy; I don't like him; I wants him gone, I feel a fever; and I don't wanna." Mimi rested her head on Grant's shoulder and feigned instant sleep, her mouth still pouting.

"Fine, no book until tomorrow, sleep tight sweet- pea, we must can put you to bed since you are sick, and you can rest while we all go out." Grant smirked.

As if by magic, she asked to be let down, ran to Jeanie and Harry and hugged them, "I'm sorry, I was rude. I love you Arry and Mommy. You can stay, and she is your mommy too, okay?" Harry nodded while trying to stop sobbing.

Sirius duly noted that Hermione had been very, very mean, and had Harry cry. His mien showed how displeased he was.

"Cut it out Padfoot, I can see your mind. It was nothing but squabbles between siblings, all is well." Remus whispered after observing Sirius' judgmental mien. Sirius didn't even acknowledge Remus, he knew better.

Draco, very observant, was going to demand to bring Mina along, but wisely decided 'no requests at this time. It just wasn't a good time to make any demands.

"Jeanie, I think it would be a good idea to invite Dobby and Mipzy, but better next time." Grant offered. Dobby and Mipzy seemed very happy for the later invitation and went to help Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who had just arrived with the children's bags. Axel came from the kitchen with a big basket, and Pretzel with a large bouquet of flowers to bring as hostess' gifts.

On Serpens request, two wheel chairs had been set for Sirius and Rabastan, especially for Rabastan who was still rather weak. Although healed, they might need assistance, and magic might not be possible at the Grangers. Once that Sirius and Rab were sitting, the children decided to ride on their lap. The two hounds banged their tails hoping to inspire pity but they already been told to stay.

"Uncle Rab, we're very tired too, " Draco informed them as he climbed on him, and the other two on Sirius.

Lucius was thinking that with three children around, he had to think of an alternate way to transport them, the Floo was so filthy and even dangerous. Serpens and Thallia were of the same mind and had already talked amongst them.

|||||Arrival at the Grangers's Home|||||

They stepped out a fireplace. Some fireplace, twice the size than at the Manor, made out black granite with speckles of gold. The group had landed in a grandiose room with several fireplaces, and sitting areas. They could see the grounds through the tall windows, large manicured gardens. This was not a house; it was either a Manor, or a small palace.

There were several people waiting for them, and a small pack of white, grey and black cairns who yapped frenetically when they saw Hermione.

She started calling them by names. "Pickle, Preppy, Prowler, Prissy, and Peat," or an approximation of it, and all came running and jumped all over her, throwing her on the ground.

It all turned into chaos with Harry and Draco jumping in the middle of the pack, along with Mimi's cousins. Harry and Draco were soon calling the dogs by name; and Frankie and Evie joined the deafening ruckus. Jeanie laughed hearing Harty barking with them; not barking, he was actually introducing himself.

Five to ten minutes passed before the introductions could be made. The wild indians were giggling and screaming, and the pack was chasing them around, while the grandparents laughed with delight.

"We were never allowed to do that." Grant fussed and Serpens heard him.

"Ah you were the child, they are the grandchildren. You will behave the same when yours come along."

"I will never treat them different from Mimi or Harry."

Thallia rolled her eyes and smiled knowingly, "As you wish, young lad."

Jeanie was talking to her parents and to Mutty. Their parents were nodding their heads, and four grinning grandparents zeroed on Harry. Grant caught it and chuckled at the proud grandparents' look. A boy, they had given up on one from Grant, and Peter, well Peter they knew where he stood, nowhere, foolish boy. Their world would never allow it, no matter if Grant's mother was of other opinion. She had even made obscure hints about her own parents. The hidden secret that would remain so for a while longer.

His mother and Charly could not wait to get their hands around Harry. His parents and Ettiene and Charly had applied for adoption several times, and had been turned down because they already had grown up children, and they were deemed too old. Harry had arrived to kinder heaven.

||||Wizards and witches, introductions, couples, breakdown, and fainting||||

While the children were playing, three young men surveyed the beauties in the room. Damn, where had they come from? All together four, three about their age or a little younger and one standing further back, a younger beauty who looked like a grown up pixie. Their cousin from across the pond, a tall, willow beauty, with dark hair with red streaks, she looked a lot younger than the other three and seemed shy.

Rabastan's eyes fixed on one of them, he swore that he could recognize the large green eyes, the long- curly -wheat hair, and the petite frame. Something strange was happening to him, and his eyes fixed on her. She did the same, checked him from head to toe, then looked at a photo album and smiled mysteriously.

Rabastan and Sirius both wore Lucius' Muggle clothes. Serpens had been shopping earlier and had his own. They all wore tailored summer light trousers, long sleeve shirts with cuffs, and blue and black casual linen jackets.

Severus was dressed all in black, and instead of a button-up shirt, he wore a soft jersey jumper and also a light black leather jacket. Remus wore khaki chinos, a leather jacket and a jumper much like Severus. Each one of the wizards were handsome, the adjective 'hot' applied to each one of the males in the entourage would not be an understatement.

Remus and Elly

Remus who caught a whiff of something different, quickly dismissed and was blushing at the scrutiny of Dr. Elly. He just could not take his eyes away from her; face it, he had a bad case of the 'roving' eye. She had a big smile and was openly staring at him. His eyes were assessing what he already had seen before, i.e., a thin and tall woman; very beautiful and close to a female version of Grant; delicious plump breast...and a bum...yes the bum, to die for; curly blond short hair, a pixie's face, and blue-grey eyes. All was perfect. She is the one, look no further, ours. Moony sounded sure.

Elly had decided to take him home with her tonight. She had told Maddy and Kelly, hands-off of the mysterious scarred blond babe. And the same went for Lian, her 18 year old cousin who was acting very mysterious. And, yet, the scars were hot, and she could not tell why. The children were invited to stay with her mother for four days, and she had not been with anyone since Evan died. She was going for the gold. Now, if Maddy and Kelly could keep their hot fingers away from him.

She assessed his looks with interest. While only Remus was looking, she brought a finger to her face, in a guise to fix an earring. She touched her lip, and licked the finger with the tip of her tongue, very slow.

Remus' mouth went dry and he had an immediate reaction, hard as a rock. It was still close to the fool moon. Coward, go and grab her by her short hair and take her to an empty room. If you don't I will. She is delicious; have you sniffed her up close. Is the strawberry, marjoram, and licorice smell coming from her? I want to take a good bite of her bum and get me a little taste of that one. She is it!. Moony egged him.

Remus was upset, "Moony, not here, for fuck's sake not here." He whispered after he covered his mouth, "if you fuck up this for me, I swear that I will ask Severus to give me a double dose, monthly, to block you for a year or so."

Severus has no time, between the blonde he is checking out, and his goo-goo eyes to Padfoot, I seriously doubt he will be brewing for a while; or, at least, not that kind of brewing if you know what I mean. Was Moony's response.

Sirius and Severus again? NO and NO, not on his watch. What was Sirius thinking about?

Talking about the Devil. Severus, Sirius and Maddy?

The other tall beauty, probably Grant's sister, had long auburn hair, down her lower back. She had a thin delicate face, and amazing strange colored eyes, nearly yellow. She wore stylish glasses and was dressed in dark leather pants, a long white cotton man's shirt, cowgirl boots, and her hair worn with a half bun held with silver combs. She wore Native American silver turquoise jewelry.

Maddy Grant was Severus and Sirius' focus of interest; both were attracted to her. Sirius had not liked the flatter chest, bigger bum birds before, but this was a H.O.T, and a swot at that, brains, and beauty, oh yeah. And he loved her clothes, too sexy.

Her eyes were on Severus showing great interest and also on Rabastan, on and off. Maddy noticed at once, Rabastan's eyes were fixed on Kelly and scratched him out her radar, for now.

Then she caught Sirius looking at her. Yuck, he looked like those wizards at the Salem's Prep, God's gift to women. She was sure that he was a wizard, only had to look at his long brown locks, his dreamy the azure eyes, his cocky attitude, and his dammed good looks. Or, even worse, he looked like one of the obnoxious young lords that her father was forever trying to set her with.

She preferred the studious and mysterious looking wizard, his nose quite large but straight, and his skin so very pale against the jet black hair, darn. Or, how about the tall blond hunk with the lines on his face, he looked dangerous and feral, oh yes. Until Elly actually dated him, he was fair game. He was too yummy for his own good. Leave it to Elly, always going for the best catches. She already had her brothers, aha, she also knew, they all did, foolish Jeanie, she'd have rebelled. Poor Peter, it was her father 's fault, he convinced Jeanie 's dad.

Introductions and Recognition

Serpens and Thallia were in awe. This woman, the blond one with the short hair, she was Gellert's daughter, there was no denying it. Serpens had entertained Gellert more than once, at his home. He supported him at the start, before his real intentions were known. And what was with this house it was full of magic. Serpens could not understand why this wasn't considered a magic home.

"Marguerite, oh dear," Thallia whispered to Serpens. He did a double take, Marguerite, Gellert's sister. She had come from Sweden to visit him around 1925. Since he was fighting his wars, she had stayed at the Loire with the Malfoys. She was killed at Stockholm at the start of the Muggle Great War. The woman standing by Jeanie was a carbon copy of her. Marguerite had been such a dear friend. Well, she had a mix that also felt familiar.

Grant finally took over the introductions, they had been there for nearly ten minutes, and the kids had taken over the place.

'"My Father, Earl Paul Aurelius Granger, my mother, Lady Anne Marguerite Granger, Count Etienne L'Orc, and Lady Charlotte, and my Uncle Lord Darius Granger, may I present you: Lord and Lady Malfoy, Lucius and Narcissa," Lucius and Narcissa went around and shook hands.

When Cissy did a little a curtsy in from of Grant's father, he cut her short. "No darling, no need for that. I am told we will be family in some years. A shake or a hug would be in order. I'm Paul and my wife is Annie."

Then, he introduced Serpens and Thallia, and from closer, the resemblance was greater, Annie had to be related to Gellert, but how? They would talk later.

Next came Uncle Darius, his father's cousin, a sixty-five year old widower. Lian, his daughter, left right after the introductions. Darius had just moved back from New York; where he had worked as a CEO to one of the multinationals from the Granger's family holdings. He was taken aback with Thallia's beauty.

Serpens noticed and smelled the attraction and pulled her aside right away.

Lucius saw the transaction and smiled, so much for young roosters. That would teach Serpens not to speak too soon. He felt vindicated.

The children had to be next, and the two older ladies fuzzed over Draco as did the future aunties, and he was wiping kisses all grossed out. Well, actually pretending, he liked all the attention.

Severus said between clenched teeth, "Young fool." Sirius looked at him, and he agreed, "Very foolish," for a moment he was caught in Severus eyes, and Remus caught them, now that he was paying attention.

He whispered on Sirius' ear, "I know what you are up to, drop it." Sirius not knowing that Remus knew his old story, looked at him as if he were crazy.

"I am onto you, with Snivelus, behave." Remus re-affirmed his position, not with Snivelus, he was still Snivelus, what was Sirius thinking.

Sirius was frozen, what did Remus know?

Then it was Harry, Paul picked him up, and Harry turned red. "Hello son, my name is Papa, and she is Oma," and both Grandparents hugged and kissed him, they had a grandson from Grant. He hugged them back, and fervently wished that Dudley could see these royals kissing him.

Same with L'Orcs, they loved little Harry at first sight. Etienne had missed having a son, and he could not expect grandsons from his daughters; so he welcomed the thin lad into his heart. Sirius eyes watered at seeing Harry's happiness glow. He could not compete with that.

Harry received the same reaction from the aunties. But when the smooching started, he wasn't better than Draco, mostly it was shyness.

Mimi came forward, "Auntie Kelly, you can kiss Arry, but Traco is mine. Momy says other women shouldn't kiss my daddy. I'll marry him when we're big, like 10, ask my mommy." Jeanie wanted to wring her neck at that instance. They had not yet told her parents and both were afraid. They knew that it wouldn't go over well. Good thing that everyone laughed.

Draco was fighting his own battles. Frankie was stuck to Mimi like glue; he had to slap his hand at least once. And he was surprised that his nails had gotten longer since he got here, he wanted to tell his mother. Harry was fine, and now they were best friends. He told Draco that he was going to be Mimi's brother; and Draco knew that brothers didn't marry a sister, and that was good.

Sirius sees Death Eaters – Rabastan sees Ghosts

Sirius had a sudden recall of who did Grant remind him off. The scourge of Dark Wizards, they had to study about him. He was the picture, with of Gellert Grindenwald with curly hair. What was going on here? Were they all Dark Wizards, he needed to tell Remus. He wanted to run away. There was magic all over this house, who were they fooling. It was a trick.

Then the sisters were all introduced.

"I would like to introduce you to my sister, Dr. Eleanor Marguerite Grant-Rosier. She is a widow, Remus already knows her. She made it possible to rescue Harry from a bad place, she is a hero." Elly blushed and smiled at Remus. Everyone applauded.

Rosier, as in Evan Rosier, of course, the little tyke was a miniature of Evan. This wasn't good. He needed to get Remus out of this place.

The others sisters and the cousin were introduced, but Sirius was in a world of his own. Everyone would later agree that his mind was still healing, and it was on its way, but he had needed a little longer time.

It was Rabastan's turn for a shock, Charlotte asked, "Are you Martin's Lestranger's son? Did you have an Aunt Mathilde?"

Rabastan's eyes opened like saucers, he had not yet seen Charlotte, Jeanie's mother, so busy he had been looking at Kelly that he'd missed her, "Aunt Mathilde?" His voice broke, and he fainted away.

Rabastan fainted away; hence Sirius took advantage went to Remus and whispered, "Mate, we must leave, we are at a Death Eater's house. You don't know but these people are closely related to Grindenwald. I saw his picture millions of times at the Ministry's walls. And the little boy, he is a Rosier. Check the blond hair with dark streaks and the grey-blue eyes, better, he is a replica of Evan Rosier, I should know, after all, I grew up with him." He looked around again, his eyes full of suspicion, his body posed in a defensive stance.

"There is danger, it hides in each crevice here. It is a web of deceit, with, who knows, what nefarious purposes behind of it. Furthermore, this house, it is full of magic, can't you feel it. I need a wand. We are in danger." His voice was full of urgency, holy-cow!

Remus grimaced at Sirius looking crazed. His eyes were feverish, and he just did not look well. What a bad idea this had been, one of the sick wizards had fainted, the other one had lost it. He needed to talk to someone that healed minds. He would ask later. Meanwhile, to his regret, "Mate, let's sit in that far corner so we can make a plan." Remus dragged Sirius.

As soon as Sirius sat, "Sorry Mate, I really hate to cut your party a bit short," he pointed the wand from his pocket, and Sirius fell asleep in less than a second. His body slumped, and Remus accommodated him with a pillow under his head, took a lap blanket and covered him. Everyone was aware that both Rab and Sirius had just been over a long illness. Maddy came over and saw Remus covering Sirius. He melted her heart. Elly had seen the transaction but she was busy with Evie.

Maddy sat, Elly thought, nearly on Remus' lap, "What is wrong with Casanova?" she asked.

Remus had to laugh, "What made you call him that?"

"He is, isn't he?" Maddy, once again, appraised Sirius and was now amazed at his looks; he just needed to put on some weight. God, he was beautiful, his lips and eyelashes. Where had these men been hiding? Would it not be nice to have two or three of them? Her mother would have a conniption, but it was a dream of hers. She had seen the hidden books and knew that several of their ancestress had more than one husband, or at least those were the speculations. And she thought again if Peter, why not indeed, she wanted her brother back.

"Hmm, you will need to ask him yourself." Elly was walking towards them; Moony caught a whiff of her, "you wouldn't mind if I leave you here, your beautiful sister is coming this way, one can only hope." Maddy appeared very hurt, she had come to talk, and he had basically told her to fly a kite. Arse, she felt rather embarrassed.

Remus had blushed; fucking Moony he grabbed his tongue before he was able to stop him. He was so rude. She was about to grab your dick, ours, could you not smell her? She is not the one, drop her, I had to take over." It was unfortunate, but for the next couple of days he was too strong. He could not remember feeling this attracted to a woman before.

Elly grinned, a smile from ear to ear, "Remus, I wanted to talk to you. Tonight—," that was the last part Maddy heard as Elly took Remus by the arm and pulled him away towards the cart with the drinks. Moony wanted to howl, he might be getting some, soon.

Severus spotted Maddy sitting by Sirius, ah, his two favorite people in this room. After the healing, well even after Harry's, his resentment for Sirius was chipping away. The hurt for Lily Evans was an old wound, a memory, and now he felt ready to help with the little emerald eye monster. He just wished that Harry were not James' carbon copy. "Maddy," he called her attention; "do you care for some company?" That voice, my God, she was on fire, that voice should be outlawed.

Maddy saw him as a dark, dangerous man, a wizard, she was sure of that. Yes, they were not your average yuppies. He was almost a ghost, the only bad feature were his teeth, hmm, no matter, there were two dentists in the family. She gave him a smile that made his heart sing. He could not be that lucky, could he? He sped up to sit by her side between Sirius and her, yes, he was that lucky. He already dreamed of a large bed with his two lovers by his side.

a/n let me hear from you, in this version the side stories will be minimized. Many complained and wanted more of the younger kids. Not sure. Poor Harry, he still wishes the Dursley to know that he can be loved. He also reflects the Dursleys' obsession with the Royals. This storyline has taken some turns from the original version. If anyone has any theories of hints let me know.
