Andromeda and her small family apparated just outside of Hogsmeade; she then led them to the edge of the little town and peeked around the corner of a store. She knew these parts were infected with Death Eaters so they needed to be very careful. All was quiet and untouched in sleepy Hogsmeade. She looked back at Ted, putting her index finger to her lips. She patted Nymphadora's head and slowly, the three walked out into the dimly lit cobblestone street. Andromeda shivered. It was cold and snow covered the ground beneath her feet. They hadn't had any time to grab any jackets or blankets.

Nymphadora whimpered slightly but Ted hushed her as he tried to keep her warm. Andromeda told Ted to stay where he was as she slowly and cautiously approached The Hog's Head. She peeked in and saw nothing. She looked around and knocked on the door, her eyes closing as she winced at the sharp sound and the pain in her knuckles. She waited. No sounds. She opened her eyes and peeked through the window of the Hog's Head again. She saw him. She felt an overwhelming sense of relief as Aberforth came to the door and opened it, looking quite grouchy.

"Aberforth…Please, will you take my husband, daughter, and me in tonight? We'll be gone by the morning. Wilma gave us up, Aberforth. I have nowhere to turn to but Albus." Aberforth blinked at her and then grunted, stepping aside to let her in. She turned and motioned for Ted, who hurried over.

They entered the inn/pub and Aberforth showed them to their room. Ted put their daughter down to bed before he went back downstairs to get some kind of alcohol. Andromeda was speaking low to Aberforth when Ted walked into the room. Some candles were lit, making the shadows dance around the room, the light casting a soft glow upon his wife and the older man who was helping them.

"How can we get out of here and to Hogwarts safely tomorrow morning, Abe?" She had a mug of frothy, warm Butterbeer in her hands and a thick red blanket draped over her back and shoulders. Ted pulled a chair over to where she was sitting and he sat down next to her. Aberforth left the room briefly, bringing back a midnight blue blanket and another mug of Butterbeer. Ted thanked him and wrapped the blanket around him before taking a large gulp of the warm drink. He sighed happily as the frothy, tasty liquid slid down his throat and settled in his stomach; warmth spread throughout his entire body.

Aberforth leaned against his bar and sighed heavily, rubbing a large, fat hand over his face. Andromeda watched him intently while Ted looked between the two. Aberforth finally spoke, his blue eyes meeting Andromeda's.

"This place is crawling with Death Eaters, Andromeda. If you leave in the morning, you'll be spotted."

"But if we leave now, we'll be spotted. They're all awake still! Do they ever sleep?"

"If I get Albus to come here tonight, he could get you to the castle safely. But that's if he's awake…"

Andromeda smiled as Aberforth walked out of the room. She then turned to Ted, still smiling. "No one will touch Dumbledore. They all fear him." Ted nodded knowingly.

Pippa sighed heavily as rolled onto her back on the bed that she was using in Aurora's house. She hadn't slept all night and now the sun was trying to peak into the bedroom she was using…'Damn you, Aurora and Sirius!' She shook her fist at the wall that separated her from the two of them. They had been up most of the night, having sex. Pippa made a face and gagged a bit. It was like thinking of her brother and sister getting it on. She placed a hand over her mouth and shut her eyes, trying to banish the thought from her mind.

A soft knock came from the bedroom door and it slowly creaked open. "Pip? It's just me…" Aurora said as she walked into the room, her eyes closed as she felt her way to Pippa's bed.

"You! You and Sirius need to stop having sex while I'm here!" Pippa yelled and Aurora's eyes popped open, a deep blush covering her face.

"What?" she asked, hoping she had heard wrong, and Pippa glared at her, sitting up and crossing her arms.

"You and Sirius need to stop having sex…I could hear you last night!"

Aurora squeaked, her blush becoming even darker. Her hands went to her mouth as she gazed at Pippa with wide, apologetic eyes. "Oh Pip! I'm sorry!"

"Yeah…You should be. It was like hearing my brother and sister go at it…Oh eck…" She grabbed a pillow and covered her face with it, screaming into it.

Aurora watched her in slight amusement and slight mortification. She turned and hurried out of the room, telling Pippa that breakfast was ready if she wanted any before she exited the door. She went downstairs, blush still on her face as she sat down at the kitchen table. She picked her fork up and put all of her attention on her food, unable to look at Sirius or the girls. Pippa didn't come down and Aurora felt a bit relieved. After the others were done with breakfast, she cleaned up the table and the plates, standing at the sink with her back to the living room. Sirius came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her midsection, his lips caressing her neck. Aurora's blush came back in full force and she had to resist the urge to shake him off of her.

"Last night was fantastic…" He murmured in her ear, his hot breath fanning against her cheek. Her breath hitched and she stilled in his arms, her blush darkening yet again.

"Sirius…I don't think we can make love anymore…" She whispered. Sirius became quite tense and she closed her eyes. 'Of course he's going to take that the wrong way…' She turned in his arms and placed her hands on his pecks reassuringly. "No, no, no, not forever…Just until Pippa leaves." He looked disgruntled.

"Why?"

"She heard us last night, Sirius." Now Sirius had the opposite reaction than Aurora. Instead of blushing modestly and looking mortified, Sirius grinned, his eyes flashing teasingly.

"Heh, heh, heh…Did she like what she heard? The little voyeur..." He was rewarded by a loud and sharp slap to his chest. He flinched and rubbed the offended area as he glared half-heartedly at her. "Hey…"

"How could you say that?!"

"Aurora, I put a Silencing Charm on the bedroom; the only way she'd be able to hear anything was if she peaked in on us while we were…you know…" He made some dirty, sexual motions, grasping her hips and thrusting his into hers. Aurora placed a hand over her face and looked away as Pippa walked into the kitchen.

"Ah bloody hell!" Pippa yelled and grabbed an orange from the fruit bowl on the island counter, throwing it at the back of Sirius' head. Sirius stilled and slowly turned to her, grinning.

"Like what you saw last night, Pippie?" He mocked and Pippa blushed. Suddenly, Aurora knew that Sirius was telling the truth. She looked at Pippa, completely shocked and mortified.

"What!?"

"Rora…I'm sorry. I just…I didn't hear any noise coming from your room so I peaked in to see if you two were alright…I didn't know you were having sex!"

"What's sex?" Aurora shrieked and ran to Nicola, her hands covering her younger sister's ears as Sirius began to explain. Pippa pulled her wand out and pointed it at Sirius in warning. Luckily he wasn't so daft as to continue and Aurora took her hands off of Nicola's ears. "Please don't do that again, Rora…Now…What is sex?"

Aurora couldn't get any redder as she shot Sirius a glare and flustered over what to say to her 10 year old sister. "You'll…You'll learn about it in your fifth year at Hogwarts!" She squeaked and shooed Nicola out before shutting the doors to the kitchen and locking them with magic. She turned back to Pippa and Sirius, her eyes wide and her chest heaving as she panted. "You…No peaking in on my room! And you…If you so much as breath the word sex to either of my little sisters, you'll lose the very thing you use to identify yourself as a man," she snapped at both of them. Sirius gave her a disbelieving look.

"You need them as much as I do, Honey…" He responded and Aurora flushed again. Pippa coughed and sent a pear flying at his head. He caught it and took a bite. "Yum."

"I'm serious!" Aurora snapped and Sirius blinked at her.

"Aurora, it's ok. I won't tell them anything…Now, this whole thing about her learning about it in fifth year…I thought we all learned it in our third year?"

"Ok…well, we did but the girls had another seminar in our fifth year." Aurora responded as Pippa nodded.

"You did? And what exactly did you learn in that seminar?" He asked, an eye brow raising suggestively.

"Birth control and the male sex drive," Pippa answered this time. "Didn't you go over this with him?" Pippa said turning to Aurora, who gulped and smiled a bit guiltily.

"Well...I haven't exactly…"

"You haven't!? Have you used protection at all?!" Pippa looked quite alarmed and Aurora frowned, shaking her head. "Aurora! What is wrong with you?!"

"I can't get pregnant, ok!? I…I can't get pregnant…" She suddenly looked very ashamed and worried.

"You what?" Sirius asked after about three minutes of complete and utter silence. He looked completely surprised and a bit betrayed. Aurora squeezed her eyes shut and rubbed her forehead. Pippa went to her and wrapped her arms around her, trying to soothe her. Aurora hugged her back, clinging to her younger friend. She felt the tears threatening to fall as she held onto Pippa. When Sirius didn't get an answer, he stormed out of the room and then out of the house, the front door slamming behind him.

"Pippa…I'm pregnant but he can't know…" she whispered into Pippa's ear and she felt Pippa tense. "Please…things will only get worse if he knows…if Voldemort knows." Pippa nodded and held onto her a bit harder.

And Aurora's up to no good again. Wow! Chapter 30 already. We've only got 11 more chapters to go and then I'll be posting the sequel! Thanks to fifairies for the add! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Please review. -Siriusgrl88
