Until lunch came about, Remus, Severus, Alexander and Hermione were anxious, and Sirius had finally picked up on it, "What are you four hiding?"

"Not a thing" "Who, us?" "What are you on about Black?" Were the responses he got, not pleasing the fugitive one bit.

To take his mind off of their hidden plan, Hermione asked, "Have you been thinking of appropriate names yet Sirius?"

"Yes but I won't know if they are suitable until I see your forms," the man smiled knowingly, "Have you completed your transformations yet?"

"Maybe, you'll just have to wait and see," Alexander answered from his spot on the floor between his love's legs.

"I guess I will"

Wade and Kelly were looking on in interest, "What names?"

Remus responded to this, "When Severus, Sirius, myself and our friends were at Hogwarts, they all became Animagi, Sirius and James to keep me company during my transformations, Lily and Amelia because they knew the former two were doing it, and Severus because, well it was a challenge. Anyway, after it was succeeded, all but Severus got an official Marauder nickname. I am Moony, Sirius is Padfoot, I know that Lils named Severus Wile E. for some reason, Lily was Odette, Amelia is Paz, and James was Prongs. It seems only right to give the son of Prongs and his girlfriend a Marauder name on the completion of their Animagus transformation."

The two Muggles nodded, looking oddly at their friend, who was pointedly looking anywhere but the living room as soon as they heard his name. The demigods were laughing freely, "You were named after a cartoon character?"

"When I meet up with that redhead witch again, she'll wear it for that," Severus groaned out.

Just then the doorbell rang, and the teens raced to get it, opening the door to see Amelia standing there. Placing a finger over their lips to tell the woman not to speak, they returned to the room. Sirius, his back to them, heard them return, "Who was it?"

"It was me Paddy," Amelia said, her fingers nervously working the hem of her shirt like a schoolgirl.

The Marauder stiffened at that voice, his eyes growing wet, and he slowly turned to see his love, the woman he was going to propose to, standing there, the two teenagers standing to her side with large smiles, "Lia."

They stood there; no one moved a muscle, until the fugitive vaulted the lounge and lift the woman up into his arms. Everyone could hear him repeating that one word into her collarbone as he held her, her fingers running through his hair, occasionally planting a kiss on his forehead, "I've missed you, you silly mutt."

Sirius couldn't think properly, he simply repeated his name for her over and over, breathing in the scent of her after all this time. The last time they were this close had been a little after he was thrown into Azkaban, he'd made her swear not to visit him ever again in there, he didn't want her to see him in that condition. She'd been crying heavily as she did it, but Amelia hadn't returned to the island to see him again.

Placing her back on the ground, he pressed his forehead to hers and whispered, "I've missed you too, so much."

Everyone watched happily as the pair were reunited, and the gentle kiss they shared before the wizard turned his eyes to the teens, who were still smiling and said, "Happy Christmas."

"You brats," Sirius wrapped them both in large hugs, "Thank you."

"You deserve to be happy too Sirius, never forget that," Lex said into his godfather's ear.

Remus clapped his hands suddenly, "Well then, Paz, great to see you again, but you've got presents to unwrap and we have lunch waiting."

Amelia was surprised at the small pile of gifts, and graciously opened them, thanking the sender, before they all sat down for a meal. When they were all finished, the demigods stood and cleared their throats, "As a piece of post lunch entertainment, Harry and I invite you all to the backyard."

Everyone, including Dobby, walked out and sat on the conjured chairs beneath a shade. Alexander and Hermione walked a little further out and bowed to their audience, who laughed and applauded, "Thank you, thank you. For our one and only act, we present our spirit animal forms."

All eyes were on the couple as they stepped apart and morphed in the snow. Both went on all fours, Hermione growing while Alexander shrank slightly. When they were finished, everyone gasped in shock. Where the wizard stood was a large wolf, pitch black bar a white lightning bolt blaze on his head and Lex's startling green eyes. In Hermione's place was a 16 hand tall, a solid bay bar a white patch in the shape of Ûram, the rune for water, on her left shoulder, with the witch's brown/green eyes.

They both walked up to the adults and Dobby, their faces showing smiles, and it was Kelly who said, "Bloody hell."

Hearing their mum say that had the teens returning to human form, laughing heartily, "Mum, that was so unlike you."

"Well it's not like I see my kids change into a wolf and a horse every day now is it?"

Sirius was thinking hard and everyone could see it, Amelia softly asked, "What's got that mind of yours in overtime?"

"I'm narrowing down their names," and he then snapped his fingers, "Got it. Thor for Harry, the Norse god of lightning. And for Hermione, Epona, who is the goddess from numerous mythologies as being the protector of horses. How's that sound?"

The two demigods were pleased but also hoping that the two immortals they were named after didn't take offence, "Perfect Sirius."

The rest of the day was spent having a snowball fight, Wade with Lex, Severus and Remus, Kelly with Mia, Amelia and Sirius. Dobby was saved from being pummelled after coming outside to call them in for dinner by Kelly shielding him with her own body, earning herself a friend for life.
