Sirius and Remus were helping Frank get the small room ready for the twins. "I can't believe that they will be here any day now. Time sure does fly" Sirius said.
He was very thrilled that there would be two more kids around seeing as Sirius was like a kid himself. Remus agreed. Time sure was flying. "Well, work has kept me so busy that I haven't really had time to think about it. I am glad that you guys have been here. It has helped alot" Frank said.
He started to paint again. Alice and him decided on a light green and light blue room. Alice didn't want to paint it pink. Sirius wasn't sure about the colors but, so far it was working out. "We are glad to have been able to help. Harry means alot to us as does Neville. Without you I don't know where we would have been" said Sirius.
It was the truth. The Longbottoms had done so much for them. Two little boys walked into the room. Neville walked to his father while Harry went to Sirius. Frank put the paint brush down and held Neville close. "Any more word on where Peter could be?" Asked Remus.
Frank and Alastor believed that he was hiding out somewhere. He could be dead but, it wasn't likely. "No they can't find him. If I had more time I would look myself. Bellatrix wouldn't give anything away so it's a lost cause there" said Frank.
Sirius stopped painting to hold Harry close to him. He had to help find Peter. That was the only way to stop Voldemort. "I want to help, Frank" said Sirius.
Frank sat there thinking. On the one hand it would be nice to have some help but on the other Frank rather have Sirius here. Giving Sirius a look he said "it is hard long work. We have no idea where he is."
Sirius stared back at Frank. He knew all of this. "Frank you need help and Remus can hold things down here" said Sirius.
Remus just smiled at the two of them. He had been here the last three weeks and was getting tired of it but, Sirius had a point. Alice was getting on his last nerve but, that was to be expected. "Well, I guess it's alright. I will only be working this week anyways" Frank replied.
Sirius and Frank went to work the next day. Alastor smiled at the two of them. No there were no new leads but, he was glad to have them there. "We haven't got any new leads. My guess is he left the country" said Alastor.
Sirius felt Peter was with a wizarding family. "What if he moved in with a wizarding family? It would be the perfect cover and an easy way to get news" Sirius said.
It was an idea but, which wizarding family would he hide with. Alastor's head was spinning. He could run with this. "You are on to something, Sirius. I will look into it. When I have something, I will let you know" said Alastor.
Arthur walked over to them. He knew Alastor well. The other two he didn't. "Hey, Alastor how is it going?" Arthur asked.
Alastor gave Arthur a small smile which was rare for Alastor. "Ok I guess. Things have been very busy. I must get back to work. Frank, Sirius I will see you two later. Arthur have a good day" Mad-eye said.
Alastor walked away leaving the three men standing there. "It has been really hard on Alastor, Fudge wants him to stop looking for Peter. Fudge thinks he is dead or left the conutry" said Arthur.
Sirius had a weird look on his face. He picked something up from the desk that was next to him and broke it. "Peter still has to be out there and we have to find him, Frank" Sirius said.
Frank sank into the chair. He knew that very well but, they only had a week. At least Frank only had a week. "Sirius, I know that but, please listen. We haven't found him by now and who knows where he could be. I want to stop searching for now so I can be with my family. Peter made mess up if we stop searching then we would find him" Frank said.
Sirius wasn't happy with that but, he could live with it. "Ok Frank" Sirius said.
"See you" Arthur said.
On the fifth day of the week Frank was sitting at his desk when Kingsley walked up. "Frank, your wife has gone into labor" he said.
Frank jumped up knocking stuff off. Not bothering to pick it up he ran down the hall. Frank to the lift then made his way outside. He made it to St. Mango's where he got her room number. Upon entering the room he saw his mother sitting there. "About time you got here. What were you thinking? Working this week? You should have taken off. The full moon was last night and Sirius wasn't there. Who knows what would have happened had I not come over" Augusta yelled at her son.
Frank wanted to sink into the chair but, couldn't. His mother was right. He had for got about the full moon and Remus hadn't said a word. Alice wasn't smiling when she looked at Frank. Not only was she in labor she had to put up with his mother. "Augusta could you leave?" Alice asked.
Augusta stormed out. Soon the twins were born. "They are beautiful Frank. I was thinking Joham for a boy and Serena for a girl" said Alice.
They sure we're weird names but, Frank liked them well. "Beautiful names" Frank said.
