Harry's mouth dropped open at the sight of the giant mansion in front of him.
"Are we really going to live here?" Harry asked excitedly. He jumped up and down a bit while staring at his daddy and new mommy with wide gray eyes.
Sirius chuckled and nodded.
Harry grinned and ran ahead. He waited impatiently at the locked door. Matt ran after him and attempted to open it. He managed to reach the high knob and twist it. Together the two boys pushed on the door causing it to open.
Sirius frowned, why was the door unlocked, "boys, don't go in yet. Come back here."
Matt paused at that. He grabbed Harry to prevent the boy from disappearing in the house. Both boys yelped as a hand landed on their shoulders and squeezed.
"I heard you were moving in here today but I had to see it for myself," a merry voice said. Harry and Matt looked up the wrinkly hands owner. He was a tall old man with a long white beard.
Harry whimpered at him and tried to pull away but the grip on his shoulder was too tight.
Matt blinked up at the man and glared. He pulled his little brother into his arms and tried to calm the boy before he started crying.
"Professor Dumbledore, what brings you here?" James said as he and Sirius approached the door, "how did you get in?" he reached down and lifted Matt into his arms. Sirius took Harry and grabbed Abby's hand.
The old man's eyes twinkled, "I have my ways. Shall we go in and talk over tea?"
"Actually we were just moving in and it would be better if you came another day."
"Great, lets go in." the man said ignoring James. He led the men inside to the living room and sat on a leather couch. He motioned to the opposing couch, "please, sit."
James exchanged glances with Sirius.
"Kids, why don't you go explore the house? Pick out a bedroom for your father and I and for yourselves." Sirius said seriously.
The kids hesitated. Abby nodded, "come on boys. Lets pick out a nice room for daddy."
Harry frowned but allowed Matt and Abby to drag him away.
"This is entirely inappropriate sir. You break into our house without any prior notice and then you scare our children." James started. "What is this about?"
Dumbledore sighed, "my boy, I see you as if you were my grandson. Abigail, Matthew and Harrison as great grandchildren. Now I heard that you were divorcing your lovely wife."
"Sir, that is really none of your business."
"Just imagine what this is doing to your children. Kids need a mother and you need a wife," Dumbledore started.
"I'm their mother now." Sirius cut in, "Harry and Matt are already my biological children and I love Abby as if she was my own."
Dumbledore looked shocked at that, "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm afraid."
"What Siri is trying to say is that since Lily could not have had anymore children after Abby. He bared Matt and Harry," James said trying to sound pleasant.
"I was not aware of this."
"I do not see why you had to be aware of this."
"Alas my boy. That is besides the point. You and Lily are soulmates. You should beg for her forgiveness. It's in everyone's best interest."
"I have no desire in getting back together with Lily." James stated plainly. He stood and motioned towards the door, "if you would please," he said, "we are very tired and wish to relax with our children."
"Oh, I could help you unpack."
"No! I mean, that's alright. You're a busy man. We would not want to waste your precious time."
"Really my boy. It is no big deal."
James forced himself not to growl or roll his eyes, "sir, we really want to do this as a family activity." he lied, gritting his teeth.
James let out a breath of relief when Dumbledore reluctantly agreed and left. Sirius wrapped his arms around James and sighed into James' chest. He closed his eyes and just rested a bit.
"He'll be back," James said, wrapping his arms around Sirius. He rubbed the smaller mans back in a comforting manner.
Sirius bit his lip, "what did you mean by this was a family thing? We have to unpack all the boxes by ourselves because I know for a fact the kids won't do anything and that damned house elf is utterly useless."
"No, I meant I didn't want his prying ass in our house anymore. I mean who just barges in to another persons house and try to convince them to get back with their ex?"
Sirius laughed at that, "have I told you how much I loved you?"
James leaned down and pecked the other man on the lips, "I love you too."
"Think we can sneak in a quickie while the kids are still distracted?" Sirius asked rubbing his hands up and down James' sides. He licked his lips at the memory of the hard muscles hiding under the bothersome shirt. James grinned at that and leaned down.
"Please don't."
The two men jumped apart, blushing deeply. Remus Lupin stood by the still open door, his back against the frame. A woman by his side. She had long braided dark hair and tanned skin. Her face was rough and her frizzy hair came out of her braid. She had wide brown eyes. She was quite pretty in her own sense.
"Remy, what are you doing here?" Sirius asked shocked. He looked at the girl next to him and raised an eyebrow, "who's this?"
Remus blushed this time, "sorry. This is Amelia, she's in that pack I told you I joined."
"So what is she? A friend? A girlfriend maybe?" Sirius pried, one of his joys in life. He was quite enjoying the different shades of red the man was turning.
"Please, call me Amy. And Remus here is my mate," the woman said. She had a thick french accent.
Sirius raised an eyebrow at that, "Remy! you never told us!" the man whined. "anything else you're hiding?"
"Has he told you about our fille?" Amy asked.
"You have a daughter?" Sirius gasped. He pouted and crossed his arms. "and you never wrote to tell me. What's her name?"
"Sophia."
"You never answered Siri's question earlier. Why are you here?"
"Oh, yes." Remus dug around in his jacket and pulled out a crumpled and badly folded piece of paper, "your little Abby sent this to me. It tells me that she was moving to the Black mansion with daddy and new mommy and she would not be able to go to the tea that Lily set up. I did not really understand so I came here. Is Lily here?"
"No, we got divorced."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Remus looked down.
"Why were you having lunch with Lily?" James asked curiously.
The werewolf looked at him surprised, "I assumed you knew. I'm getting married and Lily offered to be Amy's bridesmaid. Well actually she kind of made herself Amy's bridesmaid. I told her to tell you to contact you when you could. I was going to have you as my best man but when you never contacted me I gave the position to Peter."
"Why not me?" Sirius frowned.
"I considered it but then I realized that the only thing you would care about was the bachelors party."
Sirius accepted that answer and nodded, "you made a good decision there."
Remus grinned and pulled the smaller man into his arms, "I missed you guys." he whispered looking over at James and pulled him into the group hug as well.
"Good to see you as well." Sirius whispered as they pulled apart.
"Uncle Moony!"
Remus gasped as a seven year old launched herself at him. He wrapped his arms around her and spun the girl before pecking her on the nose.
"Look how big you are! I remember when you were this big and the only thing you ever wanted was attached to your mothers hip."
James frowned. "you saw Lily and Abby recently?"
"A couple of months ago actually. Lily told me you were busy with your career and couldn't see me but you sent your regards."
"I thought you were roaming Europe."
"I ended about a year ago."
"What? And you never contacted me?"
"Daddy? Who's that?"
Remus blinked confused at the two small boys standing in the doorway Abby had just exited. He noticed the resemblance between the two boys standing there and Sirius and James. The older boy looked more like Sirius and the younger boy looked like James but with Sirius' eyes.
"What?" he mumbled confused.
"Come here boys, I want you to meet someone," James said. The two boys ran up to the two men. James and Sirius lifted the two boys up. "this is Matt." James rocked the boy a bit to calm him down.
"This is Harry, they are both my sons. James and mine."
Remus just blinked at James and Sirius. "explain, please."
"I'll do it!" Abby offered from Remus' arms. "you see, when I was littler mommy told me that she couldn't have anymore babies and when I asked her why she said it was my fault."
"She said what?" James growled.
"She said it was because of me." Abby said innocently, "anyways, new mommy told daddy that since mommy couldn't have babies that he would have daddy's babies and he gave me two little brothers but no sisters." she frowned before perking up at that thought. She turned to Sirius with a smile, "now that you and daddy are officially together can you get me a little sister I can dress up in cute dresses and play with?"
Sirius exchanged a quick glance at James. James just chuckled, "don't worry Abby. I'll make sure you have a new little brother or sister soon enough."
"No more brothers! I got too many of them!" Abby huffed.
"I want a little brother!" Harry said excitedly.
Sirius groaned at that. "Remus, do you want something to drink before we start unpacking? I for one could use some alcohol in my system."
"Mommy, you shouldn't drink al-kee-hall. It's bad for you and the baby," Harry said.
"What are you talking about? I'm not pregnant," Sirius asked amused.
"What does that mean?" Harry asked.
"It means he hadn't eaten a baby yet," Abby said helpfully.
Harry's eyes widened at that. He grabbed Sirius' face and stared into his eyes, "why would you do that?"
Sirius groaned and tickled the boy. "I'm not drunk enough for this!" he repeated.
James chuckled and rescued Harry. He held both his sons close and chuckled. "how about we unpack tomorrow and today, after the kids are asleep, we can drink to our hearts content and maybe start on Abby's little sister or Harry's little brother." He paused and looked at Matt, "what do you want?"
Matt thought for a second, "I don't know. I already have a little brother but I wouldn't mind another. I would also like a little sister though because she will be cute." he suddenly brightened as if he had gotten a good idea. "I know! You should have twins that way there will be a boy and a girl!"
"Oh dear Merlin, save me!" Sirius prayed. He playfully glared at Matt and took the boy into his arms, "you mister, are going to be the end of me!"
Matt giggled at that. He pecked Sirius' cheek.
"He's not even drunk yet," Remus said.
"Mama! Mama! Lookie!"
The entire party turned and watched as a little girl, no older than four, enter the house with a handful of dandelions. She stopped, suddenly shy, and dropped all the weeds.
"Perhaps we should move to the couches so we can talk more," James offered.
Remus nodded. The four adults took seats facing each other so they could continue catching up.
Harry wiggled out of his daddy's embrace and ran to the door.
"Hi there," Harry said shyly. "my name is Harry."
The girl's blue eyes widened and she blushed, "hi. I'm Sophie."
"Sophie. That's a cute name."
Sophie blushed.
"I'm three," Harry said proudly.
"I'm four."
Harry deflated a bit at that. He shrugged it off, "do you want to be my friend?"
"Your friend?" Sophie asked. She thought for a second before nodding, "okay. What do friends do?"
"We play together." Harry said, "and we go on adventures together."
Sophie perked up at that, "adventures?"
"Yeah. Do you want to go on an adventure right now? We could explore the house together."
"Okay." the girl said shyly.
Harry smiled, he took her hand and began pulling her towards the closest doorway. He led her to a room filled with books. The walls were covered in shelves and shelves and each shelf was packed with books. Harry did not care about the books however. He was three and the only thing he could read was his name.
"Why are we here?" Sophie asked as she took a look around the room.
Harry shrugged, "I don't know. I just felt that we had to go in here for some reason."
Sophie frowned, "maybe if we should find a secret room. Useless rooms like this should have something interesting somewhere."
Harry nodded, "okay. Where?"
Sophie thought for a second. "maybe there's a trap door." she suggested.
"Where?"
"We have to find it."
Sophie thought for a moment, "books maybe, or under carpets."
The two kids took it upon themselves to tear apart the room searching. After a while of finding nothing the duo made their way back to the living room.
Harry frowned when he did not see his daddy.
"Mommy, where's daddy?" Harry asked as he climbed into his newly appointed mother's lap.
Sirius looked at the little boy and ruffled his hair, "he's making dinner in the kitchen, why?"
Harry looked at Sophie and smiled, "I decided that Sophie is going to be my husband when I grow up."
Sophie looked at him shocked, "really?"
Harry nodded, "yeah, and I will be the best wife ever!"
Sophie frowned at that, "why do you get to be the wife?"
"Cause I want to be the wife."
Sophie thought for a second before nodding, "okay Harry, you can be my wife and I'll be your husband."
Sirius chuckled, "lets go see if dinner is ready yet. You can tell daddy the great news."
Harry giggled as the man lifted him to his hip. He motioned to Sophie causing the man to huff. He lifted the girl into his arms as well and carried the two towards what Harry assumed was the kitchen.
James was at the stove while Remus was chopping something and Amy was helping Abby mix something. Matt was just coloring on the counter.
"There you are," James said as he spotted Harry. He magiced the stove to mix the veggies on its own and took the boy into his arms. "did you have fun?"
"Yeah." Harry giggled. "I decided that Sophie and I are going to be married."
"Are you, now?" James asked, amused.
"Yes."
James chuckled and returned to cooking.
"So do you think you can win the trial?" Remus asked.
"I have to. I do not want Lily taking my kids from me."
"But you're taking her kids away from her," Amy pointed out.
"I know."
"Don't you feel anything about the divorce?"
James sighed, "I don't know. It's just… Lily told me she was pregnant with Abby when we were in school and I freaked out and asked her to marry me. Its pureblood courtesy. I really thought I loved her and could spend my whole life with her. Lily, she just fell out of love like how muggles do. I never understood how you could just not love someone anymore for no reason. She was horrible to Matt and Harry."
"She never even mentioned them once in all the times I saw her." Remus agreed.
"She got a new lawyer. A really good one for free. She's a muggle lover." James added in worriedly. "I don't want to think about her taking Abby from me. They're even making the kids testify."
"What does testi-testif-fy mean?" Harry asked, stumbling over the word.
"It means you have to speak in front of everyone," James said softly.
"When?"
James sighed and looked at Lily's owl that had flown in earlier when Harry was playing. "tomorrow."
"What do I say?" Harry asked.
"You don't have to say anything. Abby and Matty will just have to answer a couple of questions though."
"Why not me?" Harry asked innocently.
"You're too little."
"Am not!" Harry pouted, "I'm a big boy."
"Yes you are," James agreed.
James finished cooking and brought the food the table. He magically set the table and served everyone. He placed Harry in the seat next to him and began cutting the food into smaller pieces before feeding him.
After dinner James led the Lupins to the door, they had to get ready for the upcoming full moon with the pack and couldn't have the pack leaving them behind.
James put the kids to bed, they had a busy day tomorrow and needed as much rest as they could.
So at three in the morning when Harry woke up screaming all James could do was groan and rush to his child's side knowing that the chances of him getting sleep was little.
