Christmas Eve

Harriate smiles slightly and went into the front room to check on Ashely. Seeing that she was ok she went and sat back at the table.

"I dunno what your talkin about youve done plenty." he took a couple drinks of his tea "Look later I need to talk to you about something." he said to his Dad.

'You can talk now...ill go outside for a bit.' Harriate said making her way to the back door and putting her boots back on'

"No its alright Harriate come back in. I dont really want to talk about it now,its not that important.Well it is,but just doesnt need to be discussed right now,can wait. I just dont want you going off and leaving somewhere yet."

'Its fine. Bit of fresh air anyway. you two talk.' she gave them a small smile and disappeared outside into the snow.

"Look please just tell me..Won;t take longr than 5 minutes I bet."
He said sipping his tea before getting up and looking in the cupboards till he was really to tell him

"Its just too confusing,I still havent thought it all out yet." he sighed "Well its about me being born and all,and how there cant be two mes. And I dont want to leave any of you or Tina. So me and Tina thought that maybe I could like change my name and stuff or something like that. Its stupid but other than that I dunno."

"Well I don't see why not, still Teddy to me, but yes I think it would be good idea, as to be careful, doesn't find out he is you and you is him when he gets older, by that time you will have your own Family I hope."
He said taking out some crackers and some butter for them and taking out some whisky and putting it on the table

Teddy smiled relieved he didnt think it was stupid. He took a cracker and bit into it.

Sirius had been wandering around that evening when he came across Remus's old home. He grimaced at the old site, so many memories...so many dreadful memories. He questioned himself whether or not the members of the Order had come to know that he was no longer on the 'home team.' Surely, that wasn't the case, he had kept his loyalty completely hidden...no way they could have found out.

As he drew closer to the house, which resembled a shack more than an actual house. Slowly he turned the knob, not knowing if it was a good idea...nonetheless his expression remained calm and collected. He dare not show any sign of anxiety or they might suspect. His grip tightened and slowly he opened the door. It's hinges creaking as if they were not even supposed to move in the first place.

"Well, hello there!" Sirius's voice came, sounding as usual as ever.

He dismissively wiped a drop of sweat from his brow. This was not common in a man such as Sirius Black, he never showed such weakness...

"It's a surprise to see you here as well, Remus. I never thought you would return to this little house of yours. And I suppose I shall join you, I'm rather famished if I don't say so myself." He said taking a near-by seat.

Harriate poked her head back around the door snow litered her hair as it had just started snowing.
'Finished talking?' She asked hesitantly only she was getting freezing outside as the sun had hidden behind the snow clouds.
Seeing Sirius she smiled brightly.
'Hey Siri.'

Silver went to the bedroom and changed clothes. She would need to feed the baby soon and she didn't want to hold her with cookie icing all over her. She came out of the bedroom going into the living room picking Ash up and taking her into the kitchen with her. She made Ash a bottle and sat down at the table watching the others. She couldn't believe one of Remus's friends had found them. The more the merrier though, she thought. She picked up the cookie she made Ash and showed it to her while she sucked on her bottle.

"Thanks Harriate for helping clean up the kitchen", she said grateful for any help.

She then looked to Remus. "How are we going to cook such a large piece of meat", she asked referring to the deer?"

"Also I was wondering what other kinds of food should we cook to go along with it? I would like to start preparing everything so when morning came, we could just put it on the stove or in the oven, she said with a sweet smile to Remus.

Harriate walked in fully and brushed her boots on the matt before taking them off and placing them beside the door. She brushed the snow out of her hair and off her shoulders back out the door before closing it and sat down at the kitchen table shivering slightly.
'It's snowing.' She smiled brightly looking at the others.

'Never seen snow at Christmas before...Hell i've barely even seen snow before. First for me.' She said smiling and took the drink.
'Thank you.' She sipped on it and pulled a funny face. 'funny taste. I'll get it.' She said jumping up and running for the door for Remus and pulled it open.
'Hi'

Harriate smiled and headed back into the kitchen and sipped on her drink again getting used to the taste.
'How are you prongsie?'

Ron approched the house slolwy jumping hear and there at the sounds around him then he knocked and waited
