Chapter 69: The Right
"Now where shall I begin?" Natalie turned back to her two friends.
"Question is: When will you end?" Sirius asked, slumping on one of the chairs, scratching the back of his head, "Why do we even need a lecture on how to be a dad?"
"And why am I part of this?" Remus raised a brow, "I'm not her father"
"But you're her godfather," Natalie pointed out, "And I wasn't really going to lecture you"
It was Sirius' turn to raise a brow, "Really? Then what are we here for?"
Natalie didn't reply at first. She waved her wand in the air and summoned several chairs; she poked each and every one of them until she found the perfect one to sit on. She took a seat on it and let out a loud cough when dust lifted from the chair, surrounding her. Sirius laughed. Natalie glared at him and looked over to the werewolf who gave a sigh and flicked his wand towards her, making the dust disappear and clearing her body from any dirt. She smiled at him with thanks.
"What you both are here for is to continue where we left off," Natalie said, in a different tone of voice than what she used when Zoey was around, "I'm just wondering, what's with the lack of reaction? Sirius, from day one when Zoey was born you swore her off all men and the concept of dating," She then turned to the ex-DADA professor, "And Remus, you turned particularly protective when you played with her in the local park when a few boys came to ask her to play with them"
Remus had a slight tinge of pink on his graying skin. "That's different," he cleared his throat, "They didn't look like very nice fellows"
"Remmy," Natalie began with a raised brow, "They were wearing bonnets"
At this, Sirius let out another bark of laughter but was silence when Natalie looked over at him next. "Don't think I forget that easily," she told him, "Remember that speech you made when Lucy went over to Molly's place?"
Sirius wince. "I wasn't there," he said
"Yeah, but I was. I even told you what happened and you launched into this large speech!"
The night was young and the moon shined brightly over the Burrow. Sirius over at James's house with Remus having a guys night out while Lily was visiting her parents for a family reunion, much to her sister's annoyance and Natalie had opted for Lucy and her to go visit a fellow Hogwarts/Gryffindor alumnus, Molly Weasley. Natalie was well acquainted with the ginger haired woman while Lucy, at first, just knew her by face, name and love for children but after graduating, and with the help of Natalie, Lucy and Molly had gotten into great terms.
"So these are the twins huh?" Natalie asked, peering over the two red heads who shared one crib, sleeping. She was in the nursery, which later would be the twins' room, looking curiously at the newborn babies. She was not a "person under legal age" kind of person and the concept of being near children was foreign to her. In truth, if she had it her way, she would stay at least ten meters away from all kids until they reached seventeen. Sadly, Lucy, Lily and Molly were very fond of kids and Natalie had no choice but to go along with them whenever they helped First years or baby sat for relatives.
"Yep, Fred and George," Molly said, standing next to the girl, "They remind me a lot of my brothers"
"Fabian and Gideon?" Natalie asked, "They were twins too weren't they?"
"No, they just happened to look alike and be born on the same day," Molly said sarcastically before laughing, "Yes, they were twins too"
Natalie hummed. "Interesting," she said before looking over to the mother of now five children, "But aren't you a little worried?"
"No, why should I?" Molly raised a brow.
"Well, they were born on April first weren't they?" Natalie began, "For muggles, that's called April Fools Day"
"April Fools Day?"
"Yep, a day where they pull pranks on each other and the like," Natalie shrugged.
Molly bent over the crib and carefully fixed Fred's blanked which he kicked off in his sleep. "I don't think that's anything to worry about," she said before straightening up and looking towards the door. There was a soft thumping sound that was approaching the nursery. The thumping ceased when a pregnant Lucy stood by the door with and eight year old Bill at her side.
"Thank you, Bill," Lucy smiled at the boy before looking over to her friends, "At least someone was kinds enough to assist me up the stairs seeing as I'm pregnant and tend to waddle now and could have fallen off"
Bill blinked at her before grinning. He didn't sense the message Lucy was sending to the other two women in the room and frankly, he didn't care. He gave a small "No problem," to the pregnant woman before walking over to the crib, looking at his two newborn brothers who slept behind the bars.
Natalie looked over to Bill before looking back at Lucy, smiling. "I'm sorry. It' just that you're a size of a whale right now and I for one don't think you should be climbing up stairs in your state"
"Right, every girl wants to be called a whale," Lucy said with a role of her eyes, "Lame excuse by the way," she looked over to Molly, "And what's your excuse?"
"Hey, I just gave birth," Molly held her hands up.
"Yeah, a week ago," Lucy let out a laugh before waddling over to the crib, looking at the twins, "They're so cute"
Molly smiled before bending down to Bill's height. "Where are Charlie and Percy?"
"I was playing Wizard's Chess with Charlie before Lucy asked if I could help her up," Bill told his mother, "Percy was on the couch with one of daddy's ministry books when I left"
"Ministry books?" Natalie asked, "Aren't two year olds suppose to be reading, I don't know, picture books with all the animals and what sounds they make?"
"Ministry books?" Sirius interrupted, "What the bloody hell was he doing with those?"
"I was getting to that! Don't interrupt me!" Natalie swatted him
"But he does have a point," Remus said, "I mean, it was rather odd for Arthur to leave them around the house"
"Not really," Natalie looked over to him, "I'm sure it was given to him and he placed it somewhere reasonable but… well, it was probable for Bill to be showing signs of magic by then so maybe he levitated the book down?"
"You don't sound so sure," Sirius snickered earning another swat from Natalie.
"Wait, I thought you were telling us this story because you were making a point," Remus began
"Yeah, what point were you trying to make again?" Sirius dodged another hit from the girl.
"If you would stop interrupting me then you'll know!"
"I'm sure Arthur just left them lying around somewhere and Percy just got his hands on them," Molly said, patting Bill's head and telling him he should finish up his game with Charlie before heading off to bed, "I should have a word with him about doing that"
"Yeah, those things are mega huge," Natalie said, using her arms as emphasis.
"They aren't that big," Lucy let out a laugh before placing a hand on her belly, "Look, Zoey, those two are going to be your friends. They're just a few days older than you"
"Zoey?" Molly raised a brow
"Yeah, Zoey if it's a girl," Lucy smiled.
"And if it's a boy?"
"It's going to be a girl," Lucy said.
Molly laughed. "But in the off chance that it isn't?"
"Then one of your boys will have to turn gay," Lucy paused, "And I don't know any boy names that I could call the baby. I was going to go with Regulus but Sirius wouldn't like that and I also thought about… well, Harry but Harry Black doesn't sound too good so it has to be a girl"
"Why does one of my boys need to be gay?" Molly asked.
"There's nothing wrong with gays," Natalie said
"I didn't say there was. I'm just asking Lucy why," Molly told her before looking back at the pregnant woman, "Please elaborate"
Lucy blushed and smiled sheepishly. "Well, because I wanted little Zoey here to end up with one of the Weasleys," she said, "Maybe one of the twins, seeing as they are in her age range"
"When is are you due?" Natalie asked
"Soon," came Lucy's answer before she looked back to Molly, "So what do you think?"
"I think it's very cute," Molly smiled, "But why the twins and why the Weasleys? Not that I mind. I love the little imagination you thought up."
"Well, the twins because like I said they are in her age range but Percy wouldn't be too bad. But don't think I'm going to force them into anything. No," Lucy said, "And Weasleys because well. I love you guys and I think it's cute and your boys are perfectly perfect gentlemen"
"I wouldn't say that," Natalie wrinkled her nose, she was looking over at the twins during the entire conversation, "Molly, I think someone… well – err – just – uhm – well – what's the word – I need a good euphemism"
"Why?" Molly asked
"Well, you see, I'm not that good in euphemisms"
"Not that. Why do you need a euphemism? What are you trying to say?"
"What I'm trying to say is one of those two," Natalie pointed to the twins, "pooped"
Molly calmly walked over to a table in the far corner and picked up a new diaper. "Really?" she made conversation, "Which one?"
Natalie looked back to the crib. "Err – Fre – no – Geor – nope – Twin number one?"
"And which is Twin number one?" Lucy laughed along with Molly.
"I'm not good with twins!" Natalie said in a loud voice, waking the babies, "If I didn't know better I would think you had one child and just placed a mirror beside him!"
"You aren't good with babies in general," Lucy told her when Fred and George began to cry. Molly, who was used to this, hurriedly went to her sons and picked them both up, at the same time sniffing both of their bottoms. "Here, take Fred for a moment," Molly handed baby Fred to Natalie who quickly gave him to Lucy while Molly went back to the table to change George.
"Okay, you've lost me," Sirius interrupted once more, "Why are we going to the topic of poop?"
"What's the first thought that comes to your mind when you think baby?" Natalie shot back at him
"I don't think that's what he meant," Remus interjected, "How about you hurry along to your point? You can skip the changing of diaper part"
"My word, Remus! I didn't know you knew what a diaper was!" Natalie feigned shock as to which Remus rolled his eyes at her, in amusement.
"Just go on with the story! I'm getting hungry. Molly probably has dinner ready," Sirius groaned.
"You're always hungry," said Natalie
"You're always talking," Sirius yawned, he acted as if he didn't particularly care where the story was going but in truth he enjoyed listening to it. True, it hurt to listen to something that mentioned his wife seeing as he could never see her again. But just the thought that Lucy had once had this comical discussion and odd imaginations that their daughter would end up with a Weasley, which came to be true, amused him. After all, that was her Emeraude gift. Sirius felt a pang in his heart. The realization of his wife gone was not new to him but it still ached to think about it. "Just get to the point," he added, tearing his mind away from the painful feelings.
"Fine," Natalie huffed, "I'll skip to the part where you enter"
"Beautiful," Sirius grinned.
"And that's what happened while you were having your guys night out," Natalie ended with a clap. She was over at Sirius and Lucy's house and had told Sirius everything that had occurred during their stay at the Burrow while Lucy had headed upstairs to prepare for the night. Natalie looked over to Sirius and waved a hand in front of him, checking if he even heard what she had just told him.
"Yoo-hoo," Natalie asked in a singsong voice, pocking Sirius' check, "Anybody home?"
"This is unacceptable!" Sirius suddenly exclaimed, standing up from the couch, his wand in his hand.
"Whoa there," Natalie let out a laugh, moving away from the Black, "What's got your knickers in a twist? What's unacceptable?"
"The very thought of my little princess being whisked away by a boy," Sirius said, looking over to the auburn haired girl, his wand held tightly in his hand, "I can't let this happen!"
"And what are you going to do about it?" Natalie raised a brow, "Jinx the boy? That's pretty cruel and it's also child abuse"
Sirius dropped his wand to the couch. "I wasn't going to go that far," he rolled his eyes, "But my little Zoey isn't going to go anywhere near a boy, even if he is a Weasley. Nope, she's staying right here where she belongs. No boy will be allowed within three feet of range and will go under a stern interrogation of what his business is with my little girl and –"
"What happens next?" Remus asked, "You just stopped in the middle of his rant"
"Well, I sort of zoned out," Natalie said sheepishly, "Besides there isn't much to say. He just went on and on and on about the same thing and frankly, I think he was just repeating words"
"True," Remus nodded.
Natalie smiled and then turned to Sirius whose brows were furrowed in thought. "Now, do you see my point?"
"You made me very obnoxious in that flashback," Sirius said, "Are you sure it wasn't someone else?"
"Git," Natalie muttered, "My point was what happened to that obnoxious soon to be father? You were saying stuff about restraining orders and all that jazz but now you're just," she paused, "Mergh!"
"Mergh?" Remus raised a brow at her
"Yes, Mergh!" Natalie clarified, "What happened?"
Sirius gave a sigh. He didn't like where this was going. He liked it better when they were just conversing like when they were back in Hogwarts, back when everyone was alive an well, not jumping from topic to topic when they ended up touching very delicate wounds in their past. He ran a hand though his hair. He missed the good ol' days when he would pick verbal, and slightly physical and magical, fight with Natalie, converse and flirt innocently with Lucy, help James, well supporting James, in getting Lily, convincing Remus to let him copy off his potions work, tell Peter tips on how to get girls, having girls flaunt over him and prank Snivellus and the rest of the Slytherins. Where did those days go?
Might as well get it over and done with, he thought to himself.
"What happened? What happened was I was locked in Azkaban for twelve years for a crime I did not commit," Sirius hid a wince, he did not like remembering those times, "I lost years, Nat, years of getting to know my own daughter. When I saw her again, I thought she was Luce but no, she's dead. Not a happy wake up call when you escape that blasted place"
"Sirius –" Natalie began
"No, I want to finish this," Sirius said, "And when I saw her, she was afraid. No, she did not run away but I can see it in her eyes. I didn't know her. The only memories I have of her was when she was born up to when she was two years old and when I got to see her again, she was what? Fifteen? I lost twelve years and from there I realized I have no right to stop her," he paused, "I saw her share a kiss with that Weasley boy and I knew that I couldn't stop her. She was falling in love; fell in love actually. As sappy as it sounds. She's growing up and I was not part of that"
"We all weren't," Remus interrupted.
"No, you were there for her when Luce and I weren't," Sirius said to him before looking over to Natalie, "And I'm sure you spoiled her with stories, Aunt Maria"
"But we had to give her to that dreadful Aunt of hers," Natalie's face darkened while Remus looked away guiltily.
"Exactly, we weren't there we couldn't do anything so I have no right, we have no right to stop her from dating Fred," Sirius said, "She's growing up and I at least want to have a part in that"
Natalie sniffed when Sirius ended and patted his shoulder. "I never thought… you'd be so… so…. Mature! Wah!"
"Way to ruin the moment," Remus let out a soft chuckle while Sirius pushed Natalie away from him but she kept struggling to envelope him in a hug.
Suddenly, a voice echoed through the house, waking up his mother's portrait.
"Honey, I'm home!" said the voice while Sirius' mother screeched out "Half – breed!"
After George greeted Echo and escorted her to her room and Sirius, Remus and Natalie calmed down Walburga Black's portrait. Zoey felt like she could finally breathe. Sure, it wasn't the first time she heard the awful screeches of her grandmother but every time she did, she felt strange inside. The same feeling she gets whenever she was set in a place where everything was perfect. When she heard the offending screams, she wanted to tear the portrait apart if not by magic then by her bare hands. Sure, she kept that feeling hidden very well but just the thought of being related to the perfectionist who gave birth to a 'failure' just… irked her. Zoey gave a sigh; she needed to get her mind of things.
"What kept you?" Zoey asked, looking over to Echo as she helped her unpack her things to place in the drawers. They were in a two-bed bedroom that was situated right next to Ginny's, who would be sharing hers with Hermione when the muggle-born would come. It was nice of George to escort Echo and her things to the room but as soon as they entered, he apparated away. Packing and unpacking weren't really within the twins' favor.
"I was reading something then got caught up with it, missed track of time but now I'm here," Echo spoke, refolding a shirt and placing it in one of the drawers.
Zoey raised a brow at her. "Okay…" she said, typical Echo, "how did you get here?"
"Apparating, dear Zoey"
At that moment, two loud pops came and Fred and George appeared, both wearing identical grins. Zoey squinted at the two of them as she pushed herself off the floor; she had fallen back from the surprise pops. She watched as George enveloped Echo in a hug before hooking his arm with hers.
"Love to stay in chat but Mum says dinner is ready," George said before disapparating with Echo in tow. Zoey rolled her eyes and looked over to Fred.
"Help?" she asked with a smile, which Fred returned, holding a hand out which Zoey gratefully took.
"Met your godmother today," Fred began, looking around the room and picking up a picture frame from one of the bedside tables. It was off a baby Zoey with her parents, godparents and aunt and uncle and their son. He smiled as the baby Zoey waved her hands in the air, he figured he would ask his questions when the time was right or when Zoey felt right to answer them without his asking. He was a Weasley, he tended to be nosy at times but he also respected privacy… when it came to Zoey.
"Yeah?" Zoey smiled, "What'd you think?"
"She's alright," Fred scratched the back of his head, "Just a bit –"
"Overwhelming?" Zoey supplied.
"I would have said awesome"
"Then she isn't 'just a bit awesome' she is awesome," Zoey laughed before looking suspiciously at Fred's pocket. A flesh colored sort of string was sticking out of it. She slowly brought her hand to the string, and without asking for Fred's permission, pulled it out of his pocket only to have an ear sticking out from the other end of it. She let out a small yelp.
"What is this?" Zoey asked, her brows rose in shock.
"That," Fred took it from her, "Is the almost complete product of my added awesome to your idea"
"Added awesome?" Zoey asked.
"It's a term," Fred stuck out his tongue before laughing. Zoey seemed to have not remembered giving him the idea.
Zoey furrowed her brows. "Extendable Ears?"
"Glad to see you remembered," Fred grinned, "It's still not finished. Have to put another ear at the other end."
"Amazing," Zoey breathed out
"Not really. You just pop it on the other end –"
"Not that," Zoey laughed, "Though it is amazing as well. I was saying that you actually made the idea into reality"
"With the help of George"
"Of course"
"But you're right. I am amazing," Fred grinned.
"And have a big head," Zoey pointed out, referring to his ego.
"Making more people see how handsome I am"
"And how un-proportional you are," Zoey smirked.
"Is that even a word?" Fred smirked in return while Zoey blushed, she didn't know.
"Didn't George say dinner was ready?" Zoey asked, wanting to drift the subject away from her little blunder in the lack of a wide vocabulary.
Fred smiled, knowing what she was doing and shrugged it off. He liked poking fun at her. Her witty comebacks or her small blunders than made her cheeks turn pink. He loved them. Found them cute. They seemed to encourage him to continue to tease her in a playful act.
"I believe mum was the one who said dinner was ready," Fred said taking a step towards the door.
"But George relayed the message"
"But he didn't initially say it"
"Where did you learn all these big words?" Zoey paused, "Or learn to have a vocal argue?"
"Well, when you have Bridgit, a Ravenclaw, as a 'friend – rival'. You tend to need to know how to fight against her," Fred grinned, "That and prank wise"
"And prank wise," Zoey nodded.
Fred then held out his arm. Zoey looked at it with a raised brow.
"Side along Apparition?" Fred asked.
"I know how to Apparate," Zoey said
"Then want to see who can get down first?"
"Rather not"
Fred nodded. It was worth a try. He, of course, was not offended by his girlfriend's view on the concept of Apparation. She did have a bad past with it and he did not want to push it. She needed to heal, she needed to try and he was going to be there for her. He placed his arm back to his side and opened the door.
"Ladies first," he bowed making Zoey laugh.
"You mean you're actually going to walk with me all the way back to the kitchen?" she asked.
"Of course not," Fred scoffed, "I'm going to go there the faster way"
"You're going to forget how to walk if you keep Apparating wherever you go," Zoey pointed out.
"I think I'll manage," Fred said with a shrug before planting a kiss on Zoey's check and disappearing with a loud pop. Zoey rolled her eyes in amusement and headed her way down the stairs. It wasn't that hard to walk down the stairs but then again, just appearing in your desired location was much easier. Her eyes widened and she brought out her wand.
"Accio Auctor Sanitatis," She said in a small voice as she listened to the small whizz in the air and her pills zooming towards her. She quickly took it in her hand and opened it. She still hasn't touched or taken a single pill since that day. Did she regret it? She didn't know.
"You should go talk to her," Natalie urged Sirius, poking him at the side.
It was dinnertime and everyone was already sitting at the table, everyone except Zoey. Mrs. Weasley was serving roast chicken with mashed potato. Simple but delicious. Anyway, when Fred had arrived by Apparation, much to his mother's annoyance (and Sirius' amusement) telling him that just because he and George could use magic now doesn't mean they need to use it at every waking moment, everyone was already eating. Sure, Mrs. Weasley told them to wait till everyone was at the table but the past few hours, almost a day, had been stressful and she didn't want to deny her hunger. She did; however, save a large portion of food for Zoey when she arrived.
"Talk to who?" Sirius grumbled, shoveling mashed potato into his mouth, "Can't you leave me to eat in peace? You don't bother Moony"
"Remmy has enough food on his plate," Natalie said
"And I don't?" Sirius asked, stabbing the chicken leg with his fork.
"Not that kind of food and not that kind of plate," Natalie rolled her eyes, "Besides, Remmy looks absolutely starved. I want him to eat well"
"And what about me? I've been living of rats"
Natalie wrinkled her nose. "Do they taste like chicken?" she then asked.
"Leave me alone," Sirius glared. It was just like before. Natalie would always favor Remus, not that Sirius cared, while she annoyed him, Sirius, to no end. Sirius liked it, though he would never admit it. It showed that nothing much changed in their friendship, save for the absence of half of their party. Sirius found it hard to swallow his food.
"I would if you would talk to Zoey," Natalie spooned herself some mash potato as well.
"I doubt you would," Sirius said, "And I already talk to Zoey"
"Not much"
"Just enough," said Sirius drank, "Besides, there isn't much to talk about. She said enough to Snuffles"
"Snuffles?"
"Codename"
"For what?"
"None of your business"
Natalie sniffed. "You could always talk about her relationship"
"Why do you keep swerving that topic?" he paused, "That would be awkward for everyone in the room"
"Everyone doesn't have to be there"
"But the awkward air will come," Sirius then looked back at his food as the kitchen door opened once more, revealing Zoey. The girl smiled in greeting and took the only seat available, much to her appreciation, which was beside Fred. She greeted him, once again reminding him if he kept Apparating he would lose his ability to walk which the latter replied with he would always learn again as to which Zoey rolled her eyes to before picking up her utensils and eating.
Natalie nudged Sirius in the ribs, making him choke a bit on his food. He coughed and lightly hit his chest, he didn't know what hitting his chest did but it sure made him think it helped. Zoey looked at him worriedly.
"Are you okay, dad?" she asked.
Dad. It had become so natural for her to call him that and for him to here it. Sirius wondered if he had ever been with her from start till know would he hear her call him other titles like maybe daddy or papa. Sirius mentally shook his head. Dad was fine. Dad was short. Dad was him.
"Yeah," Sirius said, "Your Aunt is just being a pain"
"Heavens no," Natalie scoffed, facing her goddaughter, "Your father is just being a stubborn git"
"Your two adult figures are being childish," Remus said, placing his utensils next to each other showing that he had finished his meal, "Dinner was fantastic, Molly," he then said with politeness as to which Mrs. Weasley returned.
Natalie then looked to Sirius. "If you won't make conversation. Then I will," she whispered.
"Be my guest," Sirius said, amused.
"So Zoey," Natalie turned her attention back to her goddaughter, "Play Quidditch?"
"Uhm… no," Zoey said but didn't complete her thought. True, she doesn't play Quidditch but an ache in her heart told her she should. After all she did promise someone she'll try out. She blocked her thoughts.
"Really," Natalie nodded before sending a glance to Sirius as if saying 'That's how you start a conversation', "Plans for the future?"
"Whoa, Aunt Maria. Where's this coming from?" Zoey let out a laugh, "It isn't like you"
"You're right. But I'm just curious is all," Natalie grinned.
"Well, I was planning to be Healer. Well, am planning to be one," Zoey smiled
"That's a wonderful profession," Mrs. Weasley joined in, "I'm sure you'll do well. I even heard that you took care of Fred and George when they got sick," she then sent a look towards her sons whom which grinned sheepishly in response before looking back at their food.
"Healer? Cool," Natalie said, "But back to Quidditch"
"You want me to try out?" Zoey asked
"Both your parents were on the team! So was James! You got to have some of their talent in you!" Natalie cried, reaching over to hold Zoey's hands in hers. Zoey sent her a confused look.
"But Zoey's scared of Bludgers," Fred said
"Scared of Bludgers?" Sirius then joined, "What's there to be scared of? If you just have the bat in your hand you can whack them into kingdom come!"
"That's what we told her," George joined in.
"But she still bloody hates them," Fred continued.
"It's not my fault!" Zoey blushed making everyone in the table laugh. This was good. Everything was light hearted. Like nothing could trouble them. Sure, it was a lie. Dark times have come but at times like this no one liked to think about it. They just wanted to spend their time with love ones. For who knows how long they'll have? Depressing thoughts and feelings were kicked out of the room as the jolly atmosphere enveloped everyone. Nothing could go wrong.
Or so they thought.
