Payback's a Witch Ch 4 Alin, a harry potter fanfic

TO: Aurora

Just so you know, on my profile, I have other stories being posted (Obsession, paybacks a bitch and I put up and ACTUAL one shot . Last one didn't turn out to be a one shot. This one is and it's done . . .)

Alex was originally blonde with blue eyes and slight ringlets (Actually Hugh Mitchell looks kinda like all, but Al had stubble xD) and was English.

When he turned into the red-haired, green eyes Alex he became Irish. Noah is supposed to be Russian actually, Mike's American, Danny and Anasks are French and James is Canadian. So I just made them all French in that one. They were brought up with nannies in my original plot . . . and it was originally Alex- 21, James- 18, Noah-16 and Mike-15 . . . so a lot of things change . . . basically I'm saying I can't make up my mind .

And originally Alex is in love with Sand who has two boys (Oliver and Aiden-4) and his eldest is a girl (Hailey-6)

TO: Michael

The story is centered more around Alin so far (100 pages in . So much for a one shot!) but Neville and Draco are one of the main couples yes. I thought I was being unique! Apparently not . It's a very common pairing.

A yawn left the short boy and he stretched, looking around. He smiled when he noticed his head on the broad Irish chest, an arm around his waist.

"Mmm morning." He kissed the blonde locks. Colin smiled and shifted up, pressing their lips together.

"Hi." He smiled and shifted under the white sheets, their bare bodies sliding together slightly.

"Ready for day two of Hogsmeade weekend?"

"Mhmm. Can we go back to the Hogshead?"

"Why? So you can flirt with the redhead?" The taller grumbled.

"Hey you're the one that didn't want to date." Colin stretched and sat up. "C'mon, we'll be late." He pressed their lips together and summoned his clothes, pulling on a pair of black jeans, socks, belt and shirt before grabbing a sweater.

The walk seemed to take twice as long as normal, the two 'love birds' bickering the entire time.

"Looks like they're having their first lover's spat." Dean mumbled to Ron, snickering as Seamus and Colin continued to hiss back and forth.

"Hey Cols, its Alex." Lavender teased. The smaller's head shot up and he stiffened.

Alex held a huge smile and laughed, picking up a boy and doing a fake yell, spinning the laughing child slightly, picking up a twin and having one on each hip. A blonde woman walked up next to him and one twin leaned towards her. She took the child and smiled.

"I'll ah, I'll be right back." Colin mumbled walking over to the tall man. "H-hi Alex." The taller looked down and beamed.

"Colin right?" The smaller shivered at the heavy Irish accent and nodded.

"Wh-whose boys'?"

"Hmm? Oh, mine." He smiled and put the one he was holding down. "Just a second?" He said sweetly to Colin. "Were they good mum?"

"Of course! Well except-"

"For Oliver." Both said at the same time. Alex ruffled the boy in his mother's arms hair. "Why won't you be good for grandma?"

"Cuz I get 'way wif it!" He laughed and chewed on his sleeve.

"Oliver! Don't chew on your clothes!" He pulled it out of the child's mouth. Someone tugged on Colin's coat and he looked down, smiling.

"I's Aiden!" The small child squealed.

"Hi!" Colin beamed enthusiastically. "I'm Colin!" Alex watched them and smiled.

"Up!" Aiden jumped and Colin laughed, picking the child up and resting him on his hip. "I likes greem and boo and pople!"

"I like Purple too!" The smaller shook with excitement.

"Daddy likes Geem!" He smiled and looked up at his dad. "Daddy I makes a fwend!"

"I think I have too." Alex returned the grin and winked at Colin. "Mum do you mind watching them whilst I buy Colin a drink?"

"Absolutely sweetie." She took Aiden from Colin and the redhead led the smaller back to the Hogshead.

"I'm not old enough to drink yet, not for a little bit still." Colin whispered.

"Then I'll buy you juice or something." The older offered, sitting at a table with the smaller.

"How old are they? I didn't know you were a father! Why didn't you tell me? Where's their mum? What all do you do for a living? What's their names-"

"Colin!" Alex laughed and shook his head. "They turned four in August. And I didn't say anything because I was your waiter and didn't think it was appropriate to start a conversation with 'hey I'm Alex and I'm a father of twin boys!'" The smaller chuckled and blushed. "Let's just say I have full custody and they don't know their mum and I'm a bar tender, waiter and an exotic dancer. Their names are Oliver Alexander and Aiden Cormac Anderson." The smaller stared at him with wide eyes. "Let me guess, still stuck on the 'exotic dancer' part?" a small noise left the back of the younger's throat.

"Not my most . . . proud job . . . but I kind of like it to be honest. Perhaps when you turn seventeen this summer you can come down to my cousin's bar where I bartend and dance."

"Y-you're a stripper?" The smaller squeaked out. Alex raised a brow.

"Yes." He watched the dark blush spread over the pale face, the smaller shifting uncomfortably. He gave a knowing smile as Colin tried to ignore his tightening pants. "Perhaps one day I'll give you your own strip tease, sound good?" another squeak left the smaller followed by a frantic nod. The taller laughed and shook his head.

"You're adorable." He brushed the smaller's cheek. Colin bit his lip as a waitress came up. "What would you like?"

"E-eurm, ah . . . u-um"

"Orange juice?" The smaller nodded. "And I'll take an apple, thanks Stacy" The woman nodded, chewing her gum, and walked off. "So what do you like to do in your spare time?"

"I like taking photos mostly and developing them so they move! I'm actually a muggle born so that was so cool for me to find out! My dad's just a milk man, it's not the best job but I'm still proud of him! I have a younger brother that I look after whilst I'm here too and he's got his first boyfriend and that makes me feel a bit nervous, am I talking too much?" He cocked his head to the side, the older just watching him with a smile.

"Please, I have two four year old boys. This is nothing. Try having someone that talks a bit faster than you . . . and there's two of them yelling about different things."

"That must be difficult!" The smaller gapped.

"Not really." He shrugged. "Thank you." He smiled at Stacy and sipped on his drink.

"Alex!" Lavender plopped down next to him. "How are you? How's Amber?"

"How would I know? I haven't seen her in four years." He muttered scowling slightly.

"Amber?"

"The twins' mum."

"See the part that confuses me," Lavender started, "Is the fact that you're a flaming pouf and yet you shagged a girl and got her pregnant."

"It's called partying and waking up starkers next to some broad." He rolled his eyes. "Not quite what I had in mind for my sixteenth birthday party." He ran a hand through his hair. "They were born two and a half months early, almost lost them I did because of that . . ." He stopped and took a deep breath, letting it out slowly. "Because of her moronic actions." He smiled at Colin. The smaller gave a hesitant one and took a swig off his juice.

"Sorry about this." Alex muttered, nudging Lavender so she'd leave. "I haven't been with anyone since her besides random shags. Well I've tried but my kids . . . are picky . . . There were rumours that we were engaged but that's not true. It was a one night stand that I can't remember but wouldn't trade for the world. Got my boys out of it." He smiled.

"I haven't actually had a real date since before they were born. I didn't have the best . . . reputation when I was younger. But that's a story for if I don't scare you off." The smaller giggled and shook his head.

"I don't care about your past, past is past as long as you're not still like that."

"Well not since she said she's keeping them." He sipped his drink. The smaller blushed, those deep green orbs sucking him up.

"You have really pretty eyes." He mumbled, his own orbs widening and a squeak leaving him

"Thank you, you do as well." He winked. "Well I have to take the twins to the sweets shop, you're more than welcome to join." Alex offered and Colin beamed.

"I-I'd love to!"

"Awesome." He smiled and lightly placed his hand on the smaller's shoulder, leading him out of the Hogshead and towards his mother. "I'll take them from here." He took one of the twins from his mother.

"I's wants him to carry me!" Aiden squealed, tugging on Colin's sleeve.

"He has a name, its Colin, and you have to ask him to carry you love."

"Carry me?" The smaller was hopping at this point and the blonde laughed, picking the child up. Aiden and Oliver had strawberry blonde hair and green blue eyes. Both boys were four and just past Colin's waist. The Gryffindor walked into the sweet shop with Alex and the boys, his own face lighting up.

Alex smiled as he watched the excitement build in both his sons' and his new friend's faces. He chuckled as he saw the blonde staring at a particular treat. When Al walked past, he grabbed it and continued on, picking out a few sweets for his kids in the mean time.

He dropped them on the counter and took out the needed amount of money, nodding at the guy behind the counter and leading the other three out. They stepped outside and Alex put Oliver down, Colin doing likewise with Aiden.

"Hey Colin?"

"Yeah?" He blushed and turned towards the taller "EYAH!" He jumped and blinked surprised, the twins laughing and Alex snickering. He wiped the snow off his cheek and grinned, ducking down and rolling up a ball of snow, whipping it at the taller. Alex laughed as it hit his shoulder. He rolled a couple snow balls and handed one to Oliver, Colin doing likewise for Aiden.

"One . . . two . . . three!" Alex yelled, the four of them throwing the balls of snow back and forth, the twins squealing with excitement, Colin laughing happily, Alex sporting a beaming smile. The redhead skilfully made his way towards the opposite team, dodging the balls skilfully, He swooped Aiden up and hung him upside down, the younger letting out loud, high pitched, pleased noises, laughing hysterically in the mean time. The tallest flipped his son and put him back right side up, yanking on the bottom of the coat that had risen and putting his hat back on.

Alex gasped and jumped around, trying to get the snow out of his shirt. "Oliver!" He groaned out, looking over. He froze and a smirk played across his face. "Sneaky bugger aren't you?" Colin laughed and shrugged feeling pleased he got the older.

Alex chuckled and shook his head.

"Colin!" The blonde looked over and smiled at Seamus.

"Hi Seamus!" He ran over and hugged him.

"Having fun I see?" He said through his teeth, glaring at the older man. Alex raised a brow.

"Colyin!" the blonde turned and smiled, Aiden hugging him and shaking with excitement. "You has to have sleep overs! I has muggle movies! A-and I has tips and dwinks and-"

"Aiden . . . Aiden!" Alex laughed and the smaller grinned up at him. "It's chips first of all. He doesn't like the fish part of Fish and Chips. And its drinks, not dwinks love." He smiled. "Besides Colin has to go to school, he can't spend the night." the smaller's lip trembled and a high squeal left him, hugging the blonde's leg tight.

"U-uhm!" The small blonde stared nervously and confused as the small child cried and hugged him.

"Aiden stop that now." Alex said in a stern voice, squatting. The smaller turned and ran to his daddy, hugging him and sniffling. "You'll see him next time he comes down here alright?" he just received a nod. He stood up, the smaller automatically wrapping his legs around his waist, gripping his coat. "What are you? A monkey?" The smaller giggled and nodded. "Alrighty then." He smiled and wrapped an arm around him. "Hey Colin, before you go." He summoned his bag. "Saw you eying it." He pulled out a large lollipop that was round with different colours. The younger's face split in two and he hugged the redhead, thanking him and holding up the sucker. "See you when I see you. Send me a letter sometime." He smiled and bent down, kissing the blushing cheek.

Alex watched them leave and his mother raised a brow. "Mom he's the first one Aiden and Oliver haven't tried to bite, kick, claw and electrocute!" He groaned out. She sighed and shook her head.

"That's because he's a kid too."

"He's legal."

"Alexander!" She gaped at him. He rolled his eyes.

"I'm twenty one, he's sixteen, seventeen in two weeks! We're four years, almost five apart. It's not that bad! You and dad were fifteen years apart!"

"Oh don't start that again!" She hissed.

"No fighting!" Oliver said very sternly, hands on his hips. They laughed and nodded.

"Alright, no fighting."

The Hogwarts students started back towards the castle and Seamus pulled the smaller away from the others.

"Shay what's wrong?"

"I don't want you hanging around him Colin." He ground out.

"Excuse me? It was your idea not to date so I can do what I want with other people!" He spat. The older let out a heavy sigh.

"That's Alexander Anderson."

"Who?" Colin raised a brow and Seamus gaped.

"He was Hogwarts biggest druggie and worst student when it came to rules! He got expelled at sixteen Colin! He's bad news!"

"No he's not! I've spent time with him. He's sweet and has two boys that he really cares about!"

"Yeah and nothing will come between him and his kids! Colin he's not a good person! Do you know why he was expelled?"

"No. Why." He glared at the older.

"Because he beat a kid to death Colin."

"W-what?" he stopped, eyes wide, breathing laboured. "You're lying." He let out a worried laugh.

"Lavender! Why was Al, the one with the twin boys, expelled?" Seamus asked the young woman.

"Because he beat his own cousin to death." Colin's sight turned to tunnel vision and his chest clenched. "He's changed quite a bit since he's had kids, only beat three people up in the last three years. Mind you all three were hospitalized."

"I-I'm gonna walk up ahead." He muttered, walking quickly to get away.

"Colin wait up!" Seamus called out, running up the dorm steps. The smaller sighed but stopped, looking at the taller over his shoulder. The brunette wrapped his arms around the smaller, pressing his lips to the younger's neck, knowing it was one of his most sensitive spots and biggest turn ons. A mewl left the smaller and he tilted his head out of the way, feeling a twitch down below. "I'm sorry I upset you."

"It's ok."

Alex sighed and glared at the papers in front of him. This was such a pain in the ass! His family home was a mansion in Ireland called the 'Anderson Manor' but he chose to live in a smaller house that was built across the street. It's yard was still large though with fruit trees and bushes, vegetable gardens and outdoor toys for his boys like a swing set, jungle gym, slides, a small pool , a large one with a high fence around it and balls. His house was two stories with three bathrooms, three bedrooms (The twins shared one but he was attempting to separate them) a kitchen, dining room, drawing room, living room, library and an indoor pool.

He looked up and smiled, his boys watching a Disney movie called 'The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'. His sons were singing along merrily with the theme song, swaying and bouncing. Out of all the muggle movies they had this one, Toy Story and The Sword in the stone were by far their favourites. Aladdin scared them slightly and Bambie made them cry at the beginning and they could never get past that part. Dumbo made them nervous and Snow White gave them nightmares. The Little Mermaid was ok, still scared them a little bit though.

He put his quill down and walked over to his boys, sitting on the floor next to them. Aiden and Oliver crawled onto his lap and snuggled up to him. It wasn't long until they fell asleep just in time for bed.

"What am I going to do Dennis?" Colin muttered. "We're going to Hogsmeade tomorrow! I can't face Alex! Not after what I found out!"

"So stay with me and Blaise-"

"Blaise and I." Hermione corrected, not looking up from her book. Dennis rolled his eyes.

"I-I don't know." Seamus plopped down next to him and kissed the pale cheek.

"Stay with me. I'll keep ya safe." Ron snorted and the Irishman flipped him off. Colin nodded and leaned up, the two sharing a quick kiss.

"Why won't you two just start dating already?" Harry raised his brow, two Gryffindor boys on either side of him, lips to the brunette's neck.

"Because I'm not ready for a relationship." Seamus muttered.

Colin bit his lip as he entered Hogsmeade with the others, no sign of the redhead yet. They continued walking and he stiffened.

"What is it?" Seamus asked, nudging him.

"Th-that's Aiden!" The small strawberry blonde boy stood, looking around and crying, lip trembling. Colin jogged over and called out the smaller's name. The child looked up and a wail left him and he rushed forwards, hugging the blonde's leg. "Where's your daddy?"

"I unno! Gamma w-was taking m-me an-and Oyiver to th-the goodies store a-and I's can'ts find them!" He cried and Colin picked him up.

"C'mon let's go find daddy ok?"

"K-kay." He plopped his head on the taller's shoulder, sucking his thumb and sniffling. Seamus sighed and looked away. Colin loved kids and it's not like they ever could have them, but Alex did have children. The blonde went into the hogshead and up to the counter.

"Hey can I speak to Alex please?" He asked some girl. She raised her brow at the fact that he was holding Aiden.

"He's in the back, through that door." She pointed and he nodded, walking over and into the room.

"What the fuck do you mean you lost my son!" Alex's voice was frantic.

"One minute he was there then the next he wasn't!"

"Why did you let go of his hand?"

"I'm sorry Alex! We'll find him!"

"No! You've done more than enough! This is the third time you lost Aiden!"

"A-Alex?" Colin said nervously. The redhead spun and his eyes widened.

"Daddy!" Colin put Aiden down and watched as the green eyes watered and a sob broke out, Alex pulling his baby boy into a hug, kissing his cheek and undoing his jacked, checking him over for bruises. The woman slipped out with no expression on her face and Alex stood, his twins running at each other and hugging.

Alex turned to Colin and gave a small smile, wiping his cheek and walking over. "I can't thank you enough."

"It was nothing Al-"

"No. It means the world to me. You have no idea how terrified I was! What if some pedophile had found him or something?"He looked away and cleared his throat.

"A-Alex?" The older looked at him. "I-Is it true you beat someone to death?" Green eyes closed and a sigh left him. "It is, isn't it?"

"I suppose I knew you'd find out sooner or later. Yes I beat my cousin to death." He muttered sitting down on a small couch. "He threatened to shove the girl I knocked up down a flight of stairs to kill the babies because she didn't want them anymore. I lost my temper when I saw him attempt to hurt her stomach. I just . . . snapped." He ran his hands through his hair. "The reason my mother has custody is because I'm still on probation for it. I have aurors watching me all the time. I have visitation rights with my children and two weeks from now I get to go to court and see if I can get full custody of them." He looked at his sons.

"Why do you make it so obvious that Aiden's your favourite?"

"My mother's lost him three times now. When Aiden was little he got very sick and he almost died. He has an extremely weak immune system and when he gets ill it can be fatal. I have to watch him very carefully. I try to be as equal as I can but he does need to be looked after more thoroughly than his brother." He looked up at Colin. "Oliver rarely get sick. When they were born he was a strong baby, Aiden wasn't. They didn't think he's make it a week let alone four years."

"Oh." Colin nodded. "Is it true that in the last four years you've hospitalized three people?" The older laughed and shook his head.

"No. I threatened them that I would. They used to babysit for me. Let's just say one of them, if the aurors weren't watching, would have been in a grave, never mind the hospital. The other two mistreated them. Yelled at them for doing what they are supposed to do and would whack them. So I gave them one minute to get out of my house before I put them in a hospital with no hands."

"Y-you're not violent are you?" Colin's shoulders relaxed.

"Not anymore no. I could never be violent. If I got in that habit again and hit one of them it would be the end of me. Hey loves." He smiled as they crawled on his lap.

"Daddy's all sads!" Oliver gapped and slapped both hands on the older's cheeks opening his mouth wide and gaping. Alex laughed and hugged him.

"All better!" Aiden beamed and started bouncing.

"A-Aiden watch your knees!" Alex yelped, carefully moving his kids off and doubling over. "You have a very bony knee!" The smaller's laughed. Colin chuckled and walked over, sitting next to the taller. The older slowly composed himself and sat up, smiling at the shorter. "So is there any way I can repay you for bringing Aiden to me?"

"It's fine Al." He laughed and the older kissed his cheek, making him blush. Alex pulled back and locked eyes with the blonde, their orbs darting to each other's lips. The taller slowly moved forwards.

"Al you're shift is starting." Some lady said, standing in the door way with an amused look on her face. The taller sighed and nodded.

"It was nice talking to you again, and thanks . . . again." He looked at his boys and sighed heavily.

"I can watch them until you're done your shift or until I leave I leave, whichever comes first."

"Are you sure? They can be a real handful at times! Especially Oliver." Alex pointed out, leaving the room, a child on each hip.

"Absolutely! Besides I'm with my friends and my little brother!"

"Thanks. As soon as I get a hold of a friend of mine I'll take them off your hands again." He put his boys down and Colin rolled his eyes.

"It's fine!" He stiffened. "Don't eat that!" He scolded Oliver, gently moving him away from the counter. Alex smiled. Most people who saw that yelled and shoved the kid off. "Oliver! Don't eat that!"

"Why?" the tallest snorted. Yes that's right. His sons were in that stage.

"Because it's dirty and can make you sick."

"Why?"

"Because people cough, sneeze, spit and rub their dirty hands on it. And you just put that in your mouth!"

"Ew!" Oliver made a face and started rubbing his tongue off on his sleeve.

"Alright you two, behave for Colin, daddy has to work for a bit ok?"

"Kay!" They both yelled. Colin smiled and blushed when the redhead kissed his cheek followed by the boy's foreheads. The blonde headed off to his table, sitting down, a child on either side. Seamus, Ron, Harry and Blaise raised their brows, Hermione and Dennis both cooing over the boys. He stayed in the hogshead for a while before leading the two talkative boys over to the counter.

"Alex?" Said man turned and grinned.

"What can I get ya?"

"Well one thing. I'd like to take you up sometime on your 'what can I do to repay you' offer and two Is it alright if I go for a walk with the boys? They're overheating." He chuckled as the two made dramatic sounds to show just how badly they were dying from heat! Alex laughed.

"Alright name the time and place and of course you can! I Get off in an hour alright?"

"Ok." He smiled and lead the boys away, going for a walk in the cold, holding their hands. They found a nice place to sit and he played with them, making a snowman. He grinned as he watched them jumping, all excited about it.

"Wow." Colin jumped and the two boys squealed.

"Daddy!" They rushed forwards and Colin quickly checked the time with nervousness.

"It's alright, I got off fifteen minutes early."

"Oh good! I thought I still had a few-" A beeping sounded and he blushed, quickly ending the alarm spell. Alex smiled.

"This is Jay, my uncle. He'll watch the kids for a bit." Said man grinned and the two ran forwards.

"Unkie Jay!" Colin smiled and Al placed a hand on the petite shoulder, leading him away from the others and around the corner, nodding towards the bench. Both sat down quietly.

"Thanks for watching them for me." He smiled and Colin blushed.

"N-not a problem." He grinned at the taller. He turned even redder when lips pressed to his cheek.

"You're the first person in a long time that they haven't tried to scare off or bite." Al chuckled out and the smaller bit his lip nervously. His heart doubled when the taller leaned closer. "I'm glad they seem to like you. I rather enjoy being around you as well." Their noses bumped. The taller slipped his eyes closed and ghosted their lips together in a lingering, gentle kiss. He pulled back and Colin let out shaky breaths, shifting. The blond placed a hand on the broad chest and leaned back in, their mouths meeting a bit harder this time, lips moulding together.

The older nibbled the blonde's bottom lip and flicked his tongue out, the smaller mewling and opening his mouth. Their wet muscles slid together and Alex cupped the blushing cheek, turning his head to deepen the kiss.

"Ew!" He laughed and pulled back, Oliver making a face and Aiden sporting a huge smile.

"Yay! Colyin can be my new mummy!" The smaller chocked on the air and Alex's eyes widened.

"U-Uhm, Aiden, sweetie, Colin's a boy first of all, he can't be a mommy . . . secondly I don't even know if he'd want to be-" He blinked when lips pressed to his cheek, the smaller smiling shyly.

"Colin?" He looked up and locked eyes with Seamus. "We have to head back now."

"A-Alright, coming." He turned to Alex. "I'll owl you." He hesitantly leaned in and pressed their lips together, getting up and hugging both boys before running after Seamus.

"He looks like a real catch." Jay said sitting next to him with a smile.

"Yeah, he is." Alex was sporting a slight blush.

"Shit you really like this one don't you?" He received a nod. "You know not to get too attached. If it doesn't work out both you and the boys will be crushed."

"It'll work out. I know it will."

"You mean you'll make it work." Jay said with a raised brow.

"I wouldn't do anything that could hurt him in any way, shape or form uncle Jason. You know that. I-I like him and so do the boys. They don't like any guy I date or show interest in."

"Perhaps it's because he's still a kid too."

"God you sound like my mother." Alex groaned out.

"Well she is my older sister." Jay noted. Alex laughed.

"Daddy! When's Colyin coming back?" Aiden asked with bright eyes.

"Not sure love. Maybe next weekend."

"I no wanna wait that long!" He pouted and flopped on the ground, crossing his arms.

"Neither do I love but we have to ok?"

"Kay." Alex briefly contemplated something. What would his life be like if he dated Colin and it actually worked out? He smiled picturing the hyperactive blonde playing tag with the boys and reading them bedtime stories, getting them more riled up then sleepy with jumping around and using different voices for characters. He pictured being able to actually hold someone in the middle of the night instead of having to get up every five minutes because Aiden and Oliver wanted the 'scary man' to go home. He wondered if Colin would help out when his boys had nightmares.

He wondered just how much Colin would help with, if he would help. He made up his mind. No matter what it took, Colin was going to become family to his sons. No matter what Colin was going to be his.
