Chapter 9:
The rest of the week passed by, The Duke insisted that Remus stays in Hampshire Manor for a while with them so they can catch up and so He can meet Orion and get to know his godson more. The weekend finally came and Orion was in Dumbledore's office ready to floo home.
"Mr. Black, I hope you spend a nice weekend at home." Dumbledore said smiling at his pupil.
"Thank You, Professor, I hope you spend a nice weekend as well" Orion beamed at his Headmaster as he took some floo powder in his hand and threw them in the fireplace and said: "Hampshire Manor!" and entered the fireplace. A few seconds later He found himself in the his father's study and was taken into his mother's arms instantly.
"Oh Orion, I missed you so, so much!" Hestia said as she hugged her son tight.
"I missed you too mum but you're strangling me!" Orion said as he tried to get away from his mother's arms.
"So Sorry dear!" Hestia let go of her son after she gave him a kiss on his cheek.
Orion then ran to hug his father and then noticed a man He didn't know standing next to the door, smiling. He then approached Orion and said: "So this is my godson!" Orion looked at him skeptically then asked his father: "Godson? I thought Uncle James was my godfather." Sirius knelt in front of Orion and told him softly: "Yes, he was, but when I named him godfather, James told Remus that He can take his place in case anything happens. So Remus is now officially your godfather."
"Remus! As in Remus Lupin?" Orion asked the man.
"Yes, that's my name." Remus replied.
"So You're Moony! Oh my God! I'm very thrilled to meet you Uncle Remus! Me and my friends are huge fans of the Marauders!" Orion exclaimed as he shook his godfather's hand.
"I see your father told you about our Hogwarts mischief days eh?" Remus asked his godson while laughing.
Sirius frowned and said: "I'm…I think I'm…excuse me." And he left his study hastily.
Hestia understood immediately what happened and left the study as well and went to the garden to find her husband sitting on a bench next to the fountain, He had a very sad on his face. Hestia sat next to him and said: "Sirius, you can't keep trying to forget about the Marauders alright? I know It's painful that James is gone and that Peter turned out to be a traitor but you have Remus back now! Orion is fascinated by you, he looks up to you, you're his role model!"
Sirius looked into her eyes and said: "It's just so painful Hestia, I'm thrilled to have Remus but, I don't know…I want to tell my son about the old days!"
"Then do it, just forget about peter and telling Orion about the marauders is what James would've wanted you to do, It's a great way of honoring his memory too!" Hestia said.
"You never fail to convince me Hestia, it's your smile, I love that smile" He said as he kissed her passionately on the lips. They held on to each other for what seemed like centuries. Sirius then went back upstairs to his study and leaned on the door and started listening to the Godfather-Godson conversation.
"I can't believe you did that to Filch's cat!" Orion said while laughing hysterically.
"Yeah well we did a lot of things! That was just the start." Remus said to his godson while laughing too.
"What we did to Filch on are Fifth year was a lot worse!" Sirius said as smiled at them. Remus and Orion who were oblivious that Sirius was standing there snapped their heads towards him as he spoke.
"Sirius! When did you get here?" Remus asked.
"Oh just now, and you know Orion the marauders did more extraordinary things as well, there's this one thing that will blow your mind!"
Orion: "Really what is it?"
Sirius: "This!" as he turned suddenly into a big black dog with gray eyes. Orion jumped from his armchair and cried: "Wow! You're animagi! This is wicked!" Orion exclaimed as he ran into his father's arms as he transformed back.
"I guess you finally gave up your biggest secret Sirius!" Hestia said as she entered.
"Mum! You knew about this?" Orion asked his mother.
"Oh yes! He told me on one of our dates! I know a lot about the marauders!" Hestia told her son
"Really? What do you know?" Orion asked
"Well, The marauders are a group founded by four Gryffindor guys, Prongs who was the arrogant and athletic one, Moony who was the smart and sensitive one, Wormtail is a filthy traitor, and Padfoot was Hogwarts Handsome Casanova and #1 bad boy!" Hestia said.
"Dad? A bad boy? Really?" Orion asked with a shocked expression on his face.
"Well yes, your father was the master mind behind our pranks!" Remus said.
"I normally don't boast that much but yeah, I was Hogwarts Casanova and #1 bad boy! Every girl in Hogwarts practically threw herself at me!" Sirius said boastfully.
"Except for me!" Hestia said giggling.
"Oh honey let me remind you, who is my Duchess?" Sirius asked with a devilish smirk on his face.
Hestia blushed a bit and replied timidly: "I am…"
Orion was overwhelmed by all the stories his parents and Remus told him, he really never thought that his father was a mischief maker, He was indeed shocked, they even showed him photos, his father was always dressed like a motorcycle driver with his black leather jacket and torn jeans and of course black sunglasses. There was also a photo where girls were practically drooling over his father, He was indeed what he claimed to be, a Casanova!
As Walburga came back from one of her visits, she joined them for dinner as they ate Walburga spoke up: "Orion, now that you're here I can give you one more French lesson."
Orion whined and said: "Mais Grand-mère! Je parle français très bien depuis que j'étais un petit mec ! Je ne comprends pas pourquoi vous voulez que je prenne encore des leçons ! Je parle très couramment ! »
Walburga answered : « Je m'en fou ! Tu dois continuer à prendre des leçons jusqu'à ce que tu pourrais me faire croire que tu es français, et c'est final ! »
Orion mumbled defeated: "D'accord Grand-mère ! »
Remus looked lost since he didn't understand a word they just said. Sirius laughed at the conversation and Hestia did as well, since they were both rich pure-bloods, they were taught French since they were kids and they did the same thing with Orion. They then spent a very pleasant evening together by the fire.
PS: I did'nt translate to French from google translate or anything like that, I speak French since I was a kid as well! Awaiting your reviews :D
