Interesting House Guests (Or The time Sirius invited the lads to spend the week at Grimmauld Place)

“You may leave. Go straight to your room.”

Sirius got up and walked to the door. His hand wrapped around the smooth gold handle, and he turned back to face his father, who was pouring himself another drink.

“You know, Father, it seems to me that this is an awful amount of fuss when all James did was say the truth. You shouldn’t go around blaming victims for their lot in life, especially individuals who have the misfortune to survive being bitten by a werewolf.”

Orion was looking out the long window behind his desk, his face no longer visible. His voice was dark and low. “Be careful, son, talk like that, and people will start to question what kind of wizard you truly are.”

Closing her eyes, she surrendered to Teddy's touch, her heartbeat syncing with the boat's subtle movements as she let him transport her to a magical place in the tiny boat. She felt as though her very essence was merging with the flowing world under her feet. Just as Vic felt herself sink into the depths of the dark, deep lake beneath the planks of the rowboat, Teddy’s gentle voice whispered her name, bringing her back to solid form, tethering her to his body as she felt him grip her back tighter to bring her closer as he trailed kisses down her body all the way until he reached a spot below her belly button.

Rage Against The Dying Of The Light

Chapter 8: Slughorn's Retirement Party

“I’ll get it,” Lily said, getting up from the floor and making her way to the door.

Lily swung the door open to welcome Sirius, only to have Harry zip past her on his toy broom, whizzing between her legs and out into the street before she could react. His laughter echoed as he soared in circles on the road.

“Harry!” Lily's cry pierced the air, her heart sinking as she bolted after the giggling toddler. It was the middle of the day. Anyone could see them, could see Harry. She was barely aware of Sirius beside her using his wand to freeze Harry’s broom. Lily scooped up Harry and brought him back inside, where James was waiting in the doorway.

“What happened?”

“Harry flew out into the street! Anyone could see him!” Lily could feel tears streak down her cheek.

“Okay,” James’s voice soothed Lily as he rubbed her arm. It’s okay; there is no reason to get worked up. We aren’t in hiding anymore, remember?”

“But -”

“I know, just come inside, and I’ll take a sweep around the street, okay?” James wrapped his arm around her shoulder and led her inside to the house. His lips grazed the top of her head as he let her go and left to join Sirius out in the middle of the road.

Monday Snippet

Interesting House Guests (Or The time Sirius invited the lads to spend the week at Grimmauld Place)

Sirius knew the best way to get them invited over was to play up any of their families' wizarding credentials and to make them sound as socially acceptable as possible. James was a guarantee. Remus was easy too, on account that no one ever asked about the mothers. Peter would be a bit more of a challenge.

“And Peter’s family live in London -”

“Is he related to Parcell Pettigrew?” Sirius jumped a bit in his seat as his father interrupted the conversation from behind his newspaper. Sirius had forgotten that his father was also in the room. 

“Possibly?” Sirius tried to recall if Peter had ever mentioned anyone by that name. He only ever mentioned his mother, Primrose, and Grandmother, Patty. “Who is Parcell?”

“A nitwit.”

“Oh, then they are definitely related,” Sirius replied, which earned him a light chuckle from behind his father’s newspaper.

Orion had his face buried so often behind a copy of the Daily Prophet that when they were younger, Sirius convinced Regulus that their father didn’t have a face at all. In Sirius’ defense, after the lie blew up in his face and caused Regulus to run down the hall screaming like a banshee when their father came home that evening, it was a stupid joke to fall for because while it was a rare sight, Regulus had most definitely had seen their father’s face before.
