Remus and Tonks skidded into Sirius sitting room only to find it deserted. They quickly emerged from there and out into the hall, calling him frantically. After a few minutes they heard a thunderous gallop descending the stairs and then someone urgently ask…….

"Hey hey what is all the commotion about? They are kids trying to sleep here you know?" Remus and Tonks turned back from the kitchen to find Sirius standing a few yards away from them looking anxious. Tonks naturally ran over to him, swinging her arms around his waist and saying in a relieved tone….

"Oh thank god you are alright Sirius…." Sirius looked down at her bemused as he asked…..

"Tonks what is the matter darling?" She relinquished herself from Sirius and stepped beside Remus who put his arm around her waist. Sirius quirked an eyebrow at Remus saying……

"Remus…..? What is going on mate?" He smiled sadly as he replied….

"We need to talk mate. Are we alone?" He asked urgently.

"Well the kids are in bed and Shari just came off a night shift a while ago so she is too….what are you two on tonight?" Remus looked towards the kitchen and back at Sirius.

"Can we go into the kitchen?" Sirius folded his arms defiantly saying…..

"No. Not until one of you tells me what all this is in aid of." Tonks looked up at Remus dejectedly. He smiled at her a little as she moved away from him. He sighed as he bowed his head in anguish.

"Alright…..we think that Peter is after you…" Sirius stared at them perplexed at what he had just heard.

"Daddy….?" All three looked up at the stairs and saw through the banister that Samia was descending the stairs cautiously. Sirius rushed over to bottom of the stairwell and waited for his daughter to reach him. Once she did he smiled fondly at her asking……

"Hey now why aren't you in bed sweetheart?"

"I told you that I wasn't tired but you wouldn't believe me…."

"Oh okay…."He puts his hands under her arms as he lifts her up. "Come here darling…..so….what can we do to ensure you get a good nights sleep Sami?"

"Um…..can I have some hot chocolate please daddy?" She asks coyly.

"Of course you can princess. Come on you two lets go…."

Tonks and Remus go ahead of them and seat themselves at the table while Sirius still holding his daughter continues to show his paternal instincts.

"Alright so…..do you want it in your Tigger cup or your Scooby-Doo mug Sami?"

"Um…..Scooby-Doo please daddy."

"Okay….."He begins to open a few cupboard doors in search of the mug.

"Ah Ha….Scooby-Doo it is then….Alright Sam could you please go and sit with Remus and Tonks?"

"Sure daddy…."She replies happily as he sets her down. He smiles at her as he says….

"Thank you Princess."

"Hey Uncle Remus, hey Cousin Tonks….."Samia shouts as she pulls out a chair. They both smiled broadly at Sirius who just shakes his head, smirking.

"Hey Sam how are you beautiful?" Remus asked.

"Fine thank you Remus. And you?"

"I am very god thanks…."

"I like your hair Tonks….."She exclaimed supporting her chin with both hands.

"Aww do you really Sams? I suppose that it's alright like. It's a change…." She said lacing her fingers through her hair. Remus smiled warmly at her which she reciprocated.

"Ya……but I prefer your punky look……"

"Oh you mean like……this?" A few seconds later Tonks changed her hair into a tight, black, biker look with bubble gum pink highlights. Samia started bouncing up and down on her chair as she shouted gleefully…."Ya…..ya that's it Tonks….."

"Ah you see Tonks…..Sami is a bit of a tomboy unlike her sister." Sirius explained setting down her mug on the table.

"Ya Kyrah is a sissy!" Remus and Tonks laughed at her whilst Sirius shook his head and reprimanded her. "Samia what have I told you about bad mouthing your sister? It is not very nice thing to do."

"Sorry dad…."She replied sheepishly.

"Okay…..here you go." Sirius set the mug now topped up with marshmallows from the glass bowl on the table.

"Thank you daddy…."

"You are most welcome darling. Now the second that you have that drunk, I want you to go straight to bed because if your mother catches you up she will throw a fit! Tonks……Remus what will ye have? Tea or coffee or how about some hot chocolate?"

"Tea is grand for me Sirius coz coffee will keep me up all night…."

"Alright sweetheart…..Remus same for you?"

"Yes please Sirius….."

"Righteous…..help yourself to the marshmallows and Ill get some biscuits out when I find them." They smirked at the lack of domestication that Sirius had learned after seven years.

"They are actually in the top left hand cupboard Sirius…." He turned around wagging his finger and shaking his head saying…..

"Oh no they are not Remus me ole mate. You see Shari…..my darling Shari has recently decided to re-arrange the house. Therefore nothing has been the same for a few weeks now…."

"You should be thankful it's not your face Sirius….."Tonks said humorously making Remus and Samia laugh and Sirius glare.

"Watch your mouth young cousin…..she reckons that I eat too much sugar and hence why she is hiding the biscuits on me….."

"Sirius……what is Samia doing up?" Shari asked from the doorway dressed in her pink fluffy dressing gown and matching slippers. He grinned but to no avail.

"She ugh……she couldn't sleep Shars….."

"Ya and I have heard that one before…..hey Remus….hey Tonks." She smiled at them.

"Hey Shari….."They replied in unison.

"Sirius come on now you know that you cant be giving into their demands." She said to her husbands back. He turned around in an attempt to reason with her.

"Aww come on Shars…..have a heart……"

"Ya mom……I really couldn't sleep…." She exclaimed despondently, turning round to look at her mother who smiled lightly as she said….

"Samia get up to bed now please."

"But mom….."

"Shars at least let her finish her hot chocolate. Come on baby…please?" Sirius begged with eyes that reflected those of a starving puppy. She smirked and reluctantly agreed.

"Okay fine but I want you upstairs in five minute miss…."

"Thanks mom…."

"Yes! Score!" She glared at him firmly so he said timidly….

"Would you like some tea my love?"

"Yes please Sirius…. right up darling….."

"Thank you sweetheart…."She replied pulling out a chair next to her daughter. Tonks mimed Shari hitting Sirius with a whip which made him grimace and Remus smirk.

Eventually when Samia had gone to bed and the four adults had cups of tea in front of them….Remus conveyed the night's revelations.

"So…..you are taking the words of Peadar Mc Coy to heart then are we Remus? Ah come on Mooners….I thought you of all people wouldn't lose that common sense of yours even if you are dating Tonks." He winked at her whilst she gasped and threw a marshmallow at him which he caught and ate heartedly. "Cheers Tonks….."

"Sirius I know that Peadar has a tendency to exaggerate facts but…..he sounded pretty adamant. Didn't he Tonks?"

"Ya actually for once he didn't appear drunk….."

"Sirius I really don't think you should take this likely…."

"Ah Shars not you aswell! Look alright….lets say for instance that he was right. Lets say that Wormtail was looking for me….what is he going to do? He has no wand for the love of the saints!"

"That doesn't mean he cant get one Sirius……"

"Oh and who from Remus? I reckon that Olli would recognise him…..you know the whole wanted posters with his picture on it is a dead give away! Besides he would have to be thick stupid to go anywhere near there…."

"Sirius I just think that you ought to be careful mate. I mean cowardice is not a trait that acts solely…."

"What are you implying?" He asked curiously.

"That even though Peter is a coward…..he remains loyal to Voldemort…."

"Do I look bothered?"

"….Reality check Sirius. Peter knows that you are Harrry s godfather. Just like he knows that Harry is the only one who can restore him to full power. You could be part of the master plan…."

"Oh right……do us a favour Remus and let me know when its time for me to be freaked out ya? Coz this aint doing it for me mate!"

"Oh Sirius….."

"Tonks love listen okay? If I am the bait right? Why don't they use James or Remus? I mean they are just as close to Harry…."

"Sirius mate we are too well concealed. James works at the ministry and I work at Hogwarts. We have protection…."

"Protection? Remus I don't need protection from that ponce alright?"

"The last time you thought the same and you nearly died…."

"Shari that was six years ago and it was four against one babe….."

"So who's to say that Peter cant get re-enforcements?"

"Now I know you are having a laugh Remus. Look…..if it will make you happy I will be on my guard but I will not under any circumstances hide or allow the ministry to distribute body guards…."

"Fine…..but we are still going to inform Albus."

"What….? Tell Dumbledore? Oh do we have to inform him of everything that goes wrong in this family Remus?"

"Yes Sirius we do. You do it your way and we will do it ours." He rolled his eyes as he leaned back in his chair and massaged his face. When he landed on four legs he said…..

"Fine…..but the sooner we catch that bloody rat the better!"

Well what did ya think? I hope you enjoyed it anyway. Talk 2 ya later:) :)
