Now start of Part II

The time had gone fast- Somewhere in France near Paris.

Sirius and Severus left for to the States in early June. They traveled in a Muggle aircraft leaving from Paris.

Both had been apprehensive, but decided to enjoy the experience. Sirius turned into his Animagus; he had the proper licenses, and had decided to travel with the cargo. When the plane took off, he put on the vanishing cloak he had taken from his mother's home, and sat on an empty row in First Class. He stood up a few times to pick up drinks and food, and thought that he liked the Muggle way.

While in the States, Severus and Sirius talked. "Don't feel like it will never happen, I like you a lot, and I can see us with Maddy. But you should know, I want her more than anything else ever," Sirius took Severus hand and held it, "Please listen with your heart."

Severus thought he was being kicked out, rejected, and his heart was breaking.

Sirius shook his head, "Listen, I do care for you. I see the three of us together, and it should be the three of us, not you and I, not Maddy and I, or you and her, the three together. It will be wondrous."

Severus listened and grinned. "Ah, all falling for each other," he knew Sirius and his physical love would always have limitations, he knew it had been the same with James, and he was saying it would be like this for them two.

"Exactly, Maddy will be our anchor, our center. Let's concentrate in catching her, she is a slippery fish. When we are all together, all will become natural. My mother can see into me, so this way, what she sees, it will be acceptable."

Severus had to admire Sirius' mind, his next words surprised him, "James wanted this and more with Lily, but Lily didn't call to me, never. And I never cared for James like I do for you." He caressed Severus cheek, who took his hand and kissed Sirius' palm.

"Do you care for me?" Severus asked, his heart bursting with joy. Knowing that Sirius could have gone with James and Lily,

and nobody would have been the wiser, made him happy and believe his words.

"I do silly, and think what my mother would do if she knew. This way she won't be opposed, and we are fair to Maddy. What do you say? Let's get our witch. Maybe a January wedding, and a three way bonding?"

Severus assumed that it was his mother's influence, and he was partly right. The other was that Sirius was certain that Severus would never be enough. Besides, he wanted a fair relationship and Maddy had to be on board.

They had a great time, but Maddy only wanted friendship, she wanted to finish her studies and didn't want to get too deeply involved. They knew that she was afraid,

Both wizards had grown frustrated after such a warm start, but they were cunning and smart.

The Promise

She kissed them both in separate occasions, and when they went dancing; she caused a stir between her friends that night. That marked their beginning.

They slept together the leftover nights, but she told them she wanted to wait for the final step. Since they were allowed to enjoy her body with their hands and lips, and she corresponded with her hands, they were more than pleased.

Kelly was envious seeing the three of them, with Maddy on the middle. She was not the only one. Witches and wizards flirted with them, but their world was closed, they only saw each other.

Soon it was time to go back to England, and she went with them.

Wallburga fell in love with Maddy, she reminded her of someone; a little of Grindenwald but of whom else; no idea, she couldn't figure it out.

The long auburn locks with the wild curls, fascinated Wallburga, and the unusual nearly yellow flecked eyes, were of a color she had never seen, she could already picture her grandchildren, tall, willowy, delicate faces for the girls, and manly, handsome faces for the boys.

"Maddy, do you see yourself married? I don't want to be nosy, but I like to know what you think." Wallburga asked Maddy.

"Yes, I can, but I would demand loyalty. My husband would need to truthful to me. If you are asking about Sirius, I will be frank, I want to finish my studies, I have a few months, or at least I hope so."

"I hope you decide to stay instead. Sirius only has eyes for you. My husband was a flirt until he married me, and Sirius is like him. He will never be unfaithful. You two would make powerful babies, and they are needed in our world. Besides, I would love to have a daughter like you."

Wallburga smiled her finest, and in a rare gesture, she stretched her hand and laid it over the younger witch's hand.

"I would like my husband's mother to be like you." Much to her surprise, Maddy found out that she was telling the truth, and she was developing a deep affection for the aristocratic witch.

Wallburga was a person tempered by tragedy, and Maddy hoped that things would work out with Sirius, once she was ready. A silent agreement was formed between the two.

Besides her mother adored Wallburga, they had some similar trades, and amazingly, her mother seemed years younger than Wallburga who already looked young. Her mother didn't age, and she hoped to be like her.

Her mother was a good judge of characters and she trusted her. The future was looking rather well. The only wrinkle was to marry into such old fashioned society. The Wizarding world seemed to be stuck in the 1800 hundreds, and she hoped to be wrong. She valued her freedoms and wanted more, not less.

Wallburga wanted the relationship to develop faster; she also could see Sirius was crazy for her, and had seen Sirius looking at Snape. He was just like Alphard, and just like her brother. Many Blacks were the same. She was convinced that they loved pleasure.

But Sirius wasn't like his uncle, not quite. He loved Severus, and understood himself. There were different ways to express love, but mostly he was a voyeur, and the idea of seeing two beings that he cared for and was attracted to, making love, appealed to him.

She wanted to comfort her son, and tell him she didn't think less of him. As long as it was Sirius and Maddy as well; she wanted grandchildren, and that was that. One day, she would talk to him, later. First Maddy, and then she would talk; in that order.

Needless to say that Wallburga fell in love with her; but something was holding Maddy, and at the last minute she decided to go back to finish her studies in America. Wallburga was not herself for days, she had always wanted a daughter, and her leaving made her sad.

Soon, she started writing the younger witch a few times per week. She sent her a necklace that had been in her family for a long time, it was charmed for protection while away in strange lands.

Maddy decided and talked to her professors. She missed Sirius and Severus. She knew that she would marry before the year was up. Maybe it would be a spur of the moment. She also knew that before many months went by, all would be married. Nothing could be done, no sense in fighting it.

Maddy decided to make arrangements for her surprise return. Wallburga's necklace also made the heart grow fonder; she reasoned that all was fair when trying to get grandchildren and a daughter as well.

She missed Sirius and Severus and knew that she would marry before the year was up. Maybe it would be a spur of the moment. She also knew that before many months went by, all would be married. Nothing could be done, no sense in fighting it.

It was early November, the weather still had some warm days, but the cold was starting to set in.

Several months have passed, "Darling, I think we should go back home for the Yuletide," Lucius caressed Narcissa's arm. They sat by the fire while they watched the children play.

"However, I am not sure; this has been the best time of our married life. No wars being waged, we have friends around when we desire companionship, it is a good life.

Lucius' hand had wondered lower as he talked; and it was already at the top of her bum, caressing and going even lower.

"I am learning to be a warrior, it is exciting. I would like to extend this trip for a while longer. You had mentioned a year or two." Narcissa answered.

He kissed her head, "We don't need more money, but I would like to stop for more than a couple of days as I have been doing, and check on things. I don't want to stay long. Being away from Albus clutches has been good."

And in a lower voice, "And having access to my witch at will, and during the day, makes it more than worth it." Just talking about it, made him hungry for her, "I want you, let's go to our room." He started to stand up.

She laughed, "Later, we need to watch over the children." They were waiting for Grant to take them into town in a Muggle car, they were all excited, they were going to see a Muggle moving picture, and they couldn't wait.

A children's story about something or other, not with people but with drawings that moved, strange but Lucius liked them as well. It was about rats that talked, most unusual.

Animagi?

Grant was amazed at all he could do. He was surprised to find out he had been Apparating all his life, and what he had called a sixth sense, was a gift of seeing. He could also 'go' to places, and his body would stay behind; and while there, he could actually move objects.

He was able to bend metal just by looking, and do many things; he could also let people see through his eyes, and feel the surrounding of other places, and he could 'take' others with him. He called it 'piggy backing,' Mimi had the same gift, and it seemed that Frankie shared many of the gifts.

He found out that he had innate wandless magic. Best of all was his incredible agility, something that surprised every one of them. He already knew this to be the case, but as his magic core developed, the agility improved, so his night senses, his hearing and his sense of smell.

His sisters were the same. "You jump as if you were a large, agile dog," Sirius remarked. "We need to teach you to find your Animagus. I would like another dog to be around, two male dogs together, hmm." They all laughed.

Minerva came for two weeks at the end of the summer to help him find his Animagus, and in a month he had found it, it was an extra-large dog; at least during the first transformations.

In a short time, he could call it at will. It looked like a dog from Alaska. It was not a dog after he learned more; it was a large grey wolf with silver on top.

They were all surprised, even more surprised when Remus came around, and said, "Amazing you smell like a real wolf," his eyes were puzzled.

His two sisters were equally agile and shared some of the same gifts, they all assumed they were mostly Gellert's magic inheritance, but they weren't sure.

His mother improved her skills, and it turned out she was also a natural Animagus once she learned to project. To their surprise, she was also a wolf, probably in the genes. They, his family, had a wolf animagis with a silver trail-down their back, but not his father.

Elly didn't want to try, she was growing restless and not in a good mood. "I don't want to find what roams inside me." She was often cross with Remus who didn't understand what was going on.

Maddy hadn't had time to train long with them, so she hadn't had a chance to find out.

Jeanie had a gift with finding water, conjuring storms, and was able to scry on water. She could see events before they happened, and started having nightmares that she wouldn't share with anyone. She was getting better with the wand, and found her strength in defensive spells.

The children were all learning basic defense moves and lessons on awareness. For right now, as far as they could see, the 'doors' were forgotten.

All of them found out that their bodies were toning and firming up.

Kelly was the big surprise, she took a semester off. After arriving in England, she decided to finish her studies in Europe.

Rabastan kissed her the moment she saw her and now complimented her hair at all times. In their room, she fell in with the two brothers. They were keeping their triad to themselves; it made Rodolphus upset since he wanted everyone to know.

She was letting her hair grow to the brothers' pleasure. Her curly hair was something she had disliked, and felt sorry for Mimi with curly hair parents because she thought it was a whammy. But the brothers complimented her hair at all times.

"I hope all our children have your hair, and I hope you will want them very soon." Rabastan made her blush.

"I think before children, well, we need to be married legally," she blushed again. The brothers both grinned and looked at each other with complicity.

She went with the brothers to visit the Lestrange home. The parents were overjoyed to see their sons, and when Rodolphus and Rabastan were there, they decided to later stay at home, in hiding. They wouldn't return after the families went back to England the following year.

They would move to their summer home in the Burgundy region. Rabastan proposed, while they were visiting the parents, and she accepted. She came back to the Loire wearing the engagement ring and clearly in love. The fact that she was always with the two brothers was obvious to most.

The wedding was to be held the next spring, and Rabastan decided that waiting would be sweet, so they still gratified each other without taking a final step. Apparently it was a Lestrange tradition. Rodolphus wanted to be in the official marriage but would only only observe it with great regret.

His parents had told him that while he was still 'married' to Bellatrix, it was dangerous. Although it was true that the brothers had bonded with Kelly, and it was a marriage, he had hand-fasted with Bellatrix. He would need to tell her for the magic to break.

The news made them upset, because their love making could open a channel and Bellatrix could 'see' what they were doing, most unadvisable. He had to stop his physical love, and it broke his heart. They didn't know that maybe it was no longer true, not yet.

They had decided to wait for actual consummation until the official marriage which had been lucky because of Bellatrix, but it embittered Rodolphus. None thought to question why it hadn't happen before.

She didn't know that children would have to wait, until such time Rodolphus could be with them. It was the one shadow that made Rabastan unhappy, though he held the information from her. But his parents reminded him that honesty was the best policy. Parents are not always right, which is a good thing.

Wallburga took to the children like a duck to water, only one thing bothered her. She wanted Druella, Gertrude and Luisa to meet the Rosier children; she wanted them to experience the joy of the magical children.

She started to make plans in her mind but wasn't sure, because she liked her new life and didn't want to create any rifts. She often devised plans but they all had holes.

The children had learned a lot. They had been paying attention to the Animagis sessions, and to all the lessons, the more dangerous the better.

They were sitting drinking wine when the heard young dogs yapping. Harry and Draco were walking with two Pups in tow, not pups, "Where did you find two wolves, two cubs?" Remus smelled them.

They giggled, "Silly," yes, Harry had picked the 'silly' bit from Hermione, "Mimi and Frankie did the amymagic."

The problem was that they couldn't return to themselves and started howling. After much coaxing they were children again. Maybe it was a good thing, because they didn't try again. Remus was again baffled.

They had decided to go home for a couple weeks during the Holiday season, but the Lestrange brothers had already decided to stay behind. They wouldn't return until the New Year. Lucius was concerned to go back in a time when Albus had too much time on his hands.

Sirius was with the brothers, he was reluctant to be too close to England, and had decided to join the Lestranges along with Wallburga.

Their plans for Gellert were far ahead. They had been training but they had not been successful reaching him.

Bad Pennies

This November day, the others joined Lucius and Narcissa after the children left. They were all gathered talking about the training and the children's progress.

Kelly was sitting on Rabastan's lap, and Sirius would look at them, on and on, with envy. With Maddy gone back to school, he had done something reckless, he had sent her a compulsion to come back if she cared for him. If she came back he was going to shag her and make her pregnant, he knew how.

"Lucius," It was Thallia, his great grandmother, "Darling, you have a Floo call, it is urgent, in the open Floo," They had opened a Floo in a house in a nearby town, and Lucius would have to apparate to use it.

The children were in town that day for a shopping expedition and the picture show which made it a perfect front. They would stop by the house to take a nap and have a small snack.

Although, he was annoyed, he was mostly concerned. Only three people had access to him. One was Nott, his good friend, the other Goyle, who had been left in charge, and the last was Alastor Moody.

He had received the scroll about Albus sending him to investigate Floo connections, and how he had Arthur spying on him, and vice versa. Apparently, Albus had lost it after he found out the blood supply had been substituted, and he had tested it.

He apparated into the other home and landed in an upstairs room. He just came down, as if he stayed there, and into the receiving room where Alastor waited. They talked about many different subjects since the last time they had seen each other, which was several weeks before.

Apparently Albus had finally figured out all the samples were tampered with.

"Lucius, you should have seen him, we followed him. Some Muggles cremate their dead, and he would be searching along the length of a stream, or around a park, wherever they had scattered the ashes, it was hilarious."

They were laughing hard.

"Or he would be walking in place because all the samples had a little of his blood to make the blood samples appear as magic, so not to call his attention, and he would walk in circles absolutely puzzled. He still cannot figure out that part."

They both laughed hard imagining Dumbledore chasing his own tail.

"The reason for my trip is worrisome, we have a serious problem. It concerns the brothers Lestrange, and Black is also involved."

Lucius turned even paler.

"There is an epidemic in Azkaban; it has affected over half of the prisoners. It just started a day or two ago. Nobody knows what it is, maybe an old curse. They dug old graves of executed wizards, and some believe is a form of the Muggle plague. It is contained, and no longer infectious; however, those who were initially infected are all dying."

Lucius already knew where this was going.

"The ones we paid to be Sirius and Rabastan were in the first group to be infected; their normal cells were close to where the bones were disinterred." Moody paced the room, his eye roaming around the room, clearly disturbed.

"They might be dead by now. The order is to cremate them. Scrimgeour has gone to help, and is hoping to destroy the bodies before they change back at death. The one advantage we have is that nobody wants to get close to the inmates; the second is that the Dementors are being kept away since Healers and others are coming, and the chances to stage an escape are ideal." Alastor talked Lucius' head was conjuring a plan.

"I am not sure if the ill are currently in the form of Rabastan and Sirius, if they are, and they change at death, we have a problem. That is not all; they are combining the healthy inmates by tomorrow when approved by the Ministry. They would put Bellatrix with Rodolphus, what are we going to do?"

"I need to call the others," Lucius answered
