Mia huffed indignantly. "You leave my godson alone."
A head of dark auburn hair peeked from around the corner, followed by a matching
head of hair that quickly changed to honey-brown. "Are you talking about us, Aunt Mia?"
a four-year-old Teddy asked, holding onto Jamie's hand.
Mia smiled at the boys. "No, I'm talking about Scorpius."
"Brother!" Jamie yelled. "Aunt 'Mione, you see my brother?"
"I did, sweetie." She knelt down and pulled Jamie into her arms. "He looks just like
Daddy, doesn't he?"
"Daddy's eyes. Nana Lily's eyes."
Mia nodded and kissed the boy on his forehead. "You're so smart."
"His name is Albus Severus."
Harry grinned at his son and then turned to smirk at a cringing Mia. "You'll get over
it."
May 3rd, 2007"You okay, kitten?" Sirius asked, reaching up to feel Mia's forehead. "You're looking
a little green."
"Fine, just tired from the full moon last night," she said, not yet ready to tell him
that she was pregnant again. Looking around, she noticed that there were shockingly no
children underfoot. "Where are the kids?"
It had been the first Memorial Gala that they all missed due to the full moon falling
on the anniversary of the final battle. Instead of some big to-do at Hogwarts, the pack
spent the night together at the Lycanthrope Sanctuary, while their growing brood had one
of their monthly slumber parties at the manor. Ginny and Tonks drank wine and let Tilly
unabashedly feed sweets and cakes to their children.
"Out in the orchards," Sirius told her. "Don't worry, Tilly and Dobby are with them,
and I made sure the wards around the river were secure."
