#sirius black raises harry potter and teddy lupin

[impishtubist]

happy birthday, krabapple <3

Your fics have brought me such joy since the LiveJournal days, so here, I knocked up Remus for you. I hope you have a great rest of your day <3 @lizlemonbennet

(many thanks to the discord for doing a plot spitballing session with me many many moons ago regarding remus getting pregnant and his students being mad about it, y'all are the real mvps. also I hope someone writes the 100K version of this someday.)

---

At first, Harry didn’t bat an eye at the owls that swept in periodically throughout breakfast that morning, dropping off letters for Sirius before flying off again. Out of everyone in the household, Sirius got the most correspondence, and it wasn’t unusual for there to be a flurry of owls in their home for the first few hours of the morning. 

He did take notice when the pile grew to be twenty letters, and then thirty. Even more noticeable, Sirius wasn’t even opening them. 

“Er, Sirius,” he said, after the fortieth owl swept in and then out again. “You didn’t get voted Sexiest Wizard Alive again, did you?”

“Don’t be ridiculous, Harry,” Sirius said, giving him a smile that was only slightly strained. “That contest isn’t until May.”

“Do you have another fan club?” Teddy asked.

“No.” 

“Okay,” Harry said, “then why aren’t you opening your mail?”

“I want to enjoy breakfast with my boys!” Sirius said, though the cheer in his voice sounded slightly forced. “It’s your first day home from school. I can read the mail later.” 

“Isn’t that Hermione’s handwriting?” Teddy piped up, pointing at a letter near the top of the pile. Before he could stop himself, Harry snatched it up, his Seeker’s reflexes outwitting Sirius’s. 

“Dear Lord Black,” he read out loud, fending off Sirius’s attempts to grab the letter with one hand, “I am incredibly disappointed to learn that Professor Lupin will be unable to teach for the rest of the school year--and, most importantly, will be unable to oversee our NEWTs--thanks to your actions, and I hope that you take this into consideration in the future should you decide to procreate again…”

Harry wrinkled his nose and tossed the letter at Sirius. “Gross, Sirius.” 

“I didn’t write the letter! Take it up with Hermione.”

“Are they all like that?”

“At least there aren’t any Howlers this time,” Sirius said, slumping back in his chair. “I’ve been getting them for days, ever since Remus announced his pregnancy and his intention to take a leave of absence starting at the holidays. Your classmates are very upset.”

“Your timing could have been better,” Harry said. “In more ways than one.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Come on, Sirius.” Harry rolled his eyes. “Remus is almost five months, yeah? You know what else was almost five months ago? My birthday. You two are gross and I hate you.” 

“No, you don’t.” Sirius got up for more coffee. As he passed behind Harry and Teddy, he kissed them both on top of the head. “Your friends do, though.” 

“It is your fault their favorite and most competent professor is out of commission for the rest of the year.”

“I will personally write every single OWL and NEWT student a glowing letter of recommendation. No matter what their scores are this year while Professor Lupin is on sabbatical, they will have their pick of jobs after graduation. Happy?” 

“That includes us, right?”

“Yes, of course it does.”

Harry stuck out his hand. “Deal.”

Sirius shook his hand, and then Teddy’s, and at that moment Remus came into the kitchen. He had stopped being able to fit into his own clothes, and was now stealing Sirius’s sweaters and joggers. Those wouldn’t do for much longer, Harry thought, but figured that was a battle his guardians could fight on their own.

“Oh, dear,” Remus said, spotting the pile of letters. Several had fallen to the floor. “That’s…”

“At least a quarter of the student body,” Sirius said. 

“I’m sorry, love.” 

“As your eldest has so helpfully pointed out, it is all my fault.”

“Well,” Remus said with a wink, “not all your fault.”

“Right!” Harry said, standing abruptly. “I’m off! Come on, Teds. Let’s get out of here before they get more disgusting.”

kid fic

400 words, @wolfstarmicrofic

Across the table, eyes locked, Harry and Teddy glared at each other. Their elbows were glued to the table, hand wrapped around the other’s.

They both looked like their veins were on the verge of bursting.

“What are you doing?” Sirius asked.

Teddy growled, “Arm.”

“Wrestling,” Harry ground out.

“Are you supposed to just… stay in the same position for ten minutes?” Sirius gestured.

They both pulled back, shaking their heads.

“No, I’ll show you what’s supposed to happen,” Harry signalled for Sirius to come over.

Teddy dramatically got up, smirking as he so thoughtfully gave up his seat on the floor for Sirius.

Harry was also smirking. Sirius was getting worried.

“Alright, put your elbow here,” Harry slapped the table.

Sirius gingerly did so, hand suddenly gripped in Harry’s. “Okay,” Harry nodded. “My aim is to push your arm to the table like so,” he demonstrated.

“Ow!” Sirius yelped, arm suddenly twisted onto the table.

“Your aim,” Teddy patted his father’s shoulder, “Is to push Harry’s arm to the opposite side, like he did to you.” He clapped Sirius’s back, whispering, “Good luck. He’s actually strong, but don’t tell him I said that.”

“I heard that,” Harry grinned, and Teddy groaned. But then Harry smiled, “Don’t worry, I think you’re pretty strong too.”

Sirius looked fondly between his two sons.

Then war began.

“Three, two, one!” Teddy yelled. “Go!”

Harry was strong. Sirius’s arm immediately collapsed flat on the table.

“What?!” Sirius gaped. “How did you do that?!”

Harry and Teddy flexed their fingers. “Been training with Moony,” Harry said.

“Werewolf strength,” Teddy clarified.

Rising to his feet, Sirius stomped into the kitchen. “You’ve been teaching them strength but not me?!”

“Uh,” Remus stuttered. He shrugged, “I was just trying to control them. They kept running around and full-on tackling each other, so I told them to sit still and wrestle.”

“Why didn’t you ever use arm wrestling to control James and I?! Think of the muscles I could have right now!”

“Well… I didn’t need violence to control you. I could just kiss you,” Remus smiled reminiscently.

Sirius gasped, “You were using our love as a method of control?!” He shook his head, marching up to Remus, brandishing a finger in his face. “That’s it. I will train until I destroy you.”

Remus snorted, then pecked Sirius’s lips. Sirius blinked dazedly, completely forgetting the contents of his brain.

[y0url0verb0y]

Regulus: James...where's Harry?!

James: ...

Sirius: ...

Regulus: JAMES!?

Sirius *whispering:* play dumb

James: Who's James?

Sirius *whisper yelling*: not that dumb!

James: if it makes you feel any better Sirius doesn't have Teddy either...

Regulus: Why would that make me feel any better?!?!

-meanwhile, Harry and Teddy jumping on the neighbor's trampoline while they're out of town-

[functionalbidisaster]

the scariest thing a mauraders fan can see…..

a mother with her child 😱😱😱🤯🤯

no but seriously you guys need to stop acting like harry and teddy don’t have mothers who they miss dearly and would do anything to be able to meet

also, lily and tonks would 100% be involved in raising them even if wolfstar and jegulus were a thing so PLEASE stop acting like they don’t exist and only using them to give your mlm ship a kid

so you can write fics where wolfstar raises teddy or jegulus raises harry, i don’t care, have fun, go crazy. just stop erasing lily and tonks completely because they WOULD be in their children’s life

also also, because i’m feeling extra petty here’s more mothers and their children for the drarry fans who do the same thing

😱😱 frightening i know

it’s like everyone forgets that mothers exist

(also i don’t support jkr or am really in the hp fandom, i just decided to scroll through some of the tags because i was bored) (also be thankful because i could of been a lot more petty if i wanted to be)(i also know not all fans do this but a lot do)

the gift

Remus tilted his head, but before he could ask anything, Sirius continued.  “Is there space for one more?” he whispered, almost in a plea. Remus nodded slowly and opened his arm to make space on the rocking chair for Sirius. His husband comfortably settled on his lap and Remus held his entire universe between his arms. 

A small collection of moments during Christmas Eve throughout the years as Remus and Sirius raise Teddy.

Next Steps? (1/1) (jegulus | raising Harry)

"Haz! Let's go we're going to be late!" James called from the door. Regulus was quickly packing some snacks for the car as James grabbed the "entertainment" bag.

"Does he really need all this?" James said to Regulus who met him in the doorway.

"Yes James he does. He's 5 years old and I'm not going to listen to him cry for 3 hours about being bored and the last time we did screens in the car he threw up."

James nodded, and kissed Regulus' cheek. "The right words are this is such a great idea and you are a wonderful parent who thinks of everything," James said trying too hard to save face.

"A bit rehearsed but the sentiment is right," Regulus teased with a smile.

"Harry let's go, or we will leave without you!" Regulus called up the stairs as he walked out the door with several of the bags.

Tiny steps were heard running down the stairs. "Nooo, Papa I want to see Teddy!"

"Alright then in the car please," James said as he followed Harry out of the house.

After they all settled in the car, Harry in his seat and James driving. Nearly as soon as they got on the highway, Regulus dozed off as usual. About an hour in, Harry whispered quietly to James after poking Regulus' head from behind.

"Dad, do you think uncle pads and uncle Moony are going to be happy to see us?"

"Of course they will be sweetheart, why do you ask?"

"Well last time uncle pads cried when he saw us" Harry said.

"Oh I see. I think uncle pads was sad because he missed us." James said.

"I wish we didn't live so far away so we could see them everyday and uncle pads wouldn't be sad anymore," Harry whispered.

"Me too son, me too. It's okay to be sad sometimes, Yeah?" James said.

"Yeah... I'm going to give him the biggest hug and and uncle Moony too!" Harry decided.

When they got there, Harry nearly jumped out of the car and ran right up the porch to where Sirius and Remus were waiting with Teddy.

Regulus held James back for a moment. "Do you need a hand?" James asked.

"Do you want to move back here?" Regulus asked quietly.

James cocked his head, then thought about it for a moment. "Sometimes yes, but Regulus I love our life." James explained.

"Well what if I wanted to move here too?" Regulus suggested.

"You never cease to surprise me love," James said as he kissed his forehead. "Let's talk about it some more later, okay?"

"I'd really like that," Regulus replied before heading up the path to his brother's home.

Mini Wolfstar Fic @wolfstarmicrofic

Title: 3 things Sirius loved about Remus

1) Hands

It was such a boring day for the Marauders, they were in the library mostly doing hw. James was away on another table with Lily to study potions while Peter was sleeping, resting his head on Sirius's laps. So Sirius was really bored with his only activity being petting Peter's head, so his eyes started to wander.

The first thing his eyes landed on was obviously books then the man that was using that book and finally the man himself. Remus looked so focus on what he was doing, seeing him like this always made Sirius heart sway a little more into madness, who could blame him when his boyfriend was the definition of gorgeous.

His golden-honey eyes were locked on the book. A book that was held so gently in his big, large hands. His hands that would always ground him when needed, elevated him when wanted , secure him, loved him, made him feel so good. These hands that Sirius knew better than anyone because of all the times he has held them.

Sirius couldn’t take his eyes off of them, off of those hands. HIS BOYFRIEND hands.

And maybe Sirius was staring too much because in one blink of an eye those same hand disappear from his vision and landed on his face, holding him just like the book was held. With care and appreciation. And just as soon as Remus hands were on his face, their lips met for a quick kiss and then they were gone, back to that book.

Oh Sirius was a gonner

2) Hair

Today was Sirius hair care day, and everyone knew that it would be easier to fight a dragon than to step in the way of the one and only Sirius Black, especially on hair care day, so the dorm was empty.

Sirius loved that day, it was a day for him and him only and no one would bother him. The others always flew the room on that day doing other things while Sirius enjoyed pampering his hair.

It took 5 hours. 5 hours for Sirius to finally be done, 5 hours before any Maurauder were allowed back into their dorm, 5 hours and his hair day was still not over since a longer mission was awaiting for him.

Now that his hair day was over, started the Maurauders hair day. The first one was James, his took an hour and a half it has finished just around 1PM. The second one was Peter and his hair took a bit longer, starting at 1h30 PM and ending at 3PM. The last one was his boyfriend. Remus hair was those pefect curls in that sandy blond colour that Sirius loved so much. The texture was just so flowy and light, literally dreamy. Moony was dreamy.

3) Cligny

Remus is clingy. Remus like to hug, he like to cuddle and every time he came back late from the library or his prefect routes Remus would always seek contact. When they weren't together yet Remus wandered with any of their friends, but now! Now Remus was Sirius's and Sirius's alone. At first the other were kinda jealous, mainly James and Lily what could they do (they cuddle all together). And tonight like any other night, came late his moony. As soon as Remus entered the common room Sirius ready himself. It was a routine, an automatism and Godric his loved it.

As soon as Lupin sat, Sirius was in his lap. Remus hands around his waist, resting, his head on his shoulder falling into the crook of Sirius head, hair flowing hiding his face. Sirius would kill to keep his routine forever.

===

Years later after Azkaban and separation and hurt and pain started a joyous day.

That morning was just so calm with Remus now teacher at Hogwart was helping the kids with hw.

Sirius was taking care of his hair and then later was taking care of his godchild hair Harry and his kid Hair Teddy finishing by his Husband Hair.

That night all of them would be in the living room cuddling watching a movie (muggel gadjet) till the next morning.

Sirius would have this routine forever now that all the misery was over, he was the happiest of them all.

[sliebman10]

Duck

"Want to feed the ducks, Harry?" Sirius asked, as they walked through the park. The little boy nodded and pointed at the group of ducks waiting expectantly in a small pond.

"Ducks!" Harry exclaimed, letting go of Sirius's hand and running toward the pond. The ducks flapped in surprise and scattered. Harry stopped short, bumping into another kid and knocking him down. The other kid started to cry. 

Sirius caught up with Harry and looked around. "Harry, you can't run away from me like that," he admonished, gently. He could still hear the other kid crying. Taking Harry's hand firmly, he approached the kid and his father. 

"I'm so sorry," Sirius said. "Is he alright?"

The other parent looked up from where he was crouching in front of his son and gave a warm smile. "No harm done. Teddy was just surprised."

"Ok," Sirius said. He couldn't help staring at the other man, whose gaze made his insides tighten.

He stood up and offered his hand to Sirius. "Remus Lupin. This is Teddy."

Sirius shook his hand, and said, "Sirius Black…and Harry."

"Pleasure to meet you. Hopefully the ducks come back."

James: Harry! What’s the square root of 64?

4 yo Harry: 8!

Sirius: hey Harry, what’s the square root of this potato?

Harry: 8!

Sirius: congratulations, you have a parrot.

Can we talk abt how Tonks and Teddy could be A+ genderfluid or agender rep if people were brave abt it? Bc my god, gender queer Tonks and Teddy would be the raddest things I've ever seen.

[moutainrusing]

drama

313 words, @wolfstarmicrofic

“Harry’s being a drama llama,” Teddy pointed an accusing finger at said culprit.

“No, I’m not!” Harry denied. “My life is ruined. Teddy’s ruined my life!” He whined.

“Uh huh,” Remus nodded, nose buried in a book. In fact, by nodding, his nose practically bumped into the page.

Sirius snorted, then went back to pretending to be busy cleaning the kitchen. Of course he wasn’t peering out of the door at every second to laugh at his family. ‘Course not.

“I haven’t!” Teddy pouted, “Moony, I would never ruin Harry’s life! He’s my brother.”

“Brother,” Harry scoffed.

“Yeah, brother,” Teddy sneered.

“A true brother,” Harry declared. “Would never put Hedwig in the washer with pink clothes!” He brandished the owl demonstratively. “Now she’s pink!”

Teddy rolled his eyes. “It’s okay for owls to be pink.”

“But she was a snowy owl!” Harry whinged. “Snowy owls are white!”

“Snowy owl toys are any colour!”

“But she’s a realistic owl! Identical to the real thing!” Harry then wielded a finger at Teddy, “But you! Ruined! It!”

Teddy muttered, “I think you’re just racist towards pink owls.”

“I am not racist!”

“Racism is bad,” Remus helpfully inputted.

“Exactly,” Teddy agreed sagely, giving Harry a pointed look.

Harry huffed, “Fine, I accept pink snowy owls. Their feather colour doesn’t matter. It’s what’s on the inside that counts.”

“...Stuffing,” Teddy deadpanned.

Harry threw his arms up in frustration. “What do you want me to say?!”

“Just…” Teddy shrugged. “Don’t be cringey. You’re an actor, be original.”

“Would you stop calling me dramatic?!”

“When you stop being dramatic.”

Suddenly, arms flying, the two brothers proceeded to scuffle, tackling each other as they rolled over the floor.

Sirius crept past them, hands wrapping around his husband’s shoulders. “Drama llamas,” he sighed, shaking his head at their sons.

Remus side-eyed him.

Sirius gasped, clutching his chest, “What was that side-eye for?!”

Here it is 🎉 the next chapter of mine and @squintclover‘s fic for the @mixed-up-writer-fest Of Protein Powder & PTAs. What on earth is going to happen next? You don’t know, we don’t know, it sure is a ride!

Read the latest chapter here.

Read the whole thing from the beginning here.

A little teaser below the tag:

”By Salazar, would you please stop that.”

Regulus’ voice dragged Sirius attention and he looked up at him, brows pulled together into a scowl.

“What?”

“That!” snarled Regulus as he pointedly glared at Sirius’ bouncing foot. “It’s driving me bloody nuts. Sit still or I’ll hex you.”

Sirius huffed out a breath but he did still, resisting the urge to start rapping his knuckles against the table instead. There was a restless sort of buzz surging through him, something he hadn’t managed to settle after Remus had left a few hours earlier. He had succeeded in keeping himself busy, but now everyone but Regulus had gone home and the house was disturbingly quiet.

Sirius felt like doing something reckless, anything to get rid of this energy that kept building underneath his skin. He found himself wishing he could just take Harry out somewhere, perhaps apparate them to a field somewhere to go flying or transform into Padfoot and chase sticks until he was so worn out he couldn’t think straight.

But Harry was holed up with his friends, Sirius had already settled Draco and Teddy in his room with everything they might need for the night, and Sirius just had to accept the fact that Harry was getting older. It wasn’t that he didn’t want Harry to have friends, he wasn’t that much of a dick, but he still struggled to accept that the boy was growing up (far too quickly for Sirius’ liking).

He stood abruptly, pulling down the kettle and filling it with water with a tap of his wand. His magic felt agitated and he knew it was because of the conversation he’d had with Remus earlier. No matter how he tried to steer his thoughts away they kept returning to the two of them in his study, the almost-kiss, the surge of want he’d felt when he’d looked into Remus’ hazel eyes.

He flicked his wand absently towards the stove to get a flame going, but the fire that flared up was enough to make him take a quick step backwards, knocking into the table behind him.

“Merlin’s saggy bollocks,” snapped Regulus as he stood up, extinguishing the flame with a wave of his hand, shoving Sirius roughly against the table. “Sit down before you burn the whole house down.”

“I can make tea,” Sirius protested, frustration flaring, but Regulus ignored him as he summoned two cups from a nearby cupboard.

“So are you going to tell me what happened with Lupin or are you just going to act like a headless troll all evening?”

Hey you, I'm here for Wolfstar raising harry recommendations 🤗

Hello!! I'm also going to tag @imsiriuslyreading because I know Lana was also looking for some recs!

This is by no means a comprehensive list, but these are some of my very favs:

Wolfstar Raising Harry

Ten Reasons (To Go To Michigan) by @greyeyedmonster-18 (I also love these two unrelated wolfstar raising harry microfics by the same author) — This is a Sirius raising Harry and meeting recently divorced Remus (who happens to be a writer) on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A must read! that's the art of getting by by sarewolf — Remus becomes Harry's guardian and they move to a muggle village in the middle of nowhere. Eventually, Sirius is freed and comes to stay with them, but can they get back what they once had? Honestly, majorly obsessed with this one, but watch out for the angst! Stealing Harry by copperbadge — In an alternate universe where Sirius Black never went to Azkaban, Harry divides his life between the Dursleys' house and Mr. Black's bookshop -- until Sirius realises what the Dursleys are doing to him, and takes him away from their care. This series is fucking amazing and actually spans several of the books!! Mr Mouse by TracingPatterns (which continues in their wolfstar raising harry series) — A lovely little piece in which a young Harry learns about grief.

Like Real People Do by third_crow (part of the coffee shop au series) — Sirius raising Harry, when he starts falling for local barista Remus Lupin. This is also a beautiful story about what it's like to live with epilepsy and I am extremely obsessed with this series. The Things I Did by Lolo_row — canon compliant, Remus gets custody of Harry and works to get Sirius out of Azkaban. A bit of angst, but tasty! the dogfather au by hollimichele — Harry was raised by his adoptive muggle family, when one day a big black dog shows up. His parents just thinks he's a stray, and Padfoot becomes the family pet (to keep an eye on Harry, and protect him from Voldemort). Eventually this morphs into Remus also coming into the picture.

Wolfstar Raising Teddy

the mayors of simpleton by @fruityindividual — Divorced wolfstar are co-parenting a very mischievious Teddy who is not about to let his dads stay divorced!! Honestly this fic is so funny, so heartfelt, so fucking lovely. It also features the most beautiful portrayal of a blind character that I ever seen. A must read! Of Memories and Milk Thievery by @mayescapade — Divorced wolfstar raising Teddy again! Wolfstar have been co-parents for years and they wont stop terrorizing/pranking one another. An Infinte Ocean by orphan_account — Single dad Remus. Remus Lupin knows two things--working and caring for his son, Teddy. When his babysitter sets up crowdfunding so Teddy can go swim with the sea turtles at the local animal rescue, Remus doesn't realise how completely their life is going to change. Especially when he meets Sirius Black, the weekend merman in the aquatic show, and someone who might convince him of love at first sight. Honestly a lovely piece, and it also features the Potter clan.

Other (raising both teddy and harry, wolfstar girldads)

Let's Play Pretend by MsAlexWP — My current obsession!! I can't tell you how many times I've read this. Single parent Remus and single parent Sirius meet at a play date and end up pretend dating so that the old women in Sirius' building (who basically stalk him) will stop trying to set him up. Neither of them can date at the moment, so what could possibly go wrong?? Ultimate comfort fic. Of Quiet Hearts And Thundering Dreams by TracingPatterns — This is single parent Sirius and single parent Remus, both having moved to a small village and meeting at Harry & Teddy's school. A Cup of Sugar by MsAlexWP — Again, they are both single parents. Harry Potter is recovering from surgery and facing the worst summer ever until a guy with the same crutches as Harry moves in across the street with his son. So lovely!! Hide-and-Seek by onehundredflamingos — Wolfstar girldads raising their adoptive daughter Cassie, who is also a werewolf. This is the story of her first transformation. It's soooo sweet! @industrations has done a bunch of wolfstar and Cassie art, which you should absolutely go and cry over!

For supplementary material, feel free to check out my Wolfstar Raising Harry, Wolfstar Raising Teddy and Wolfstar Girldads tags!

They survived the war. They all survived the war. Marlene and Dorcas were together and out of hiding, living in the same house together. Marlene and Dorcas had three kids, Artemis, the oldest, who's a girl, Aries, the middle child, who's a boy, and Jack, the youngest, who's also a boy. James was the donor for all three.

Lily and Pandora are married and have twins, Harry and Lillian Rosier, and their youngest, Lewis Rosier, who's seven years apart from the twins. James was the donor for all three yet again.

James and Regulus are married and also have three kids. Their oldest is Rose, the middle is Leo, and their youngest is Euphemia Potter. Who is named after James' mother and Leo's named after Regulus's constellation. Lily was the surrogate for all three.

Mary and Emmeline are married and only have one kid, Penelope Vance. They live in an apartment, the same one they've had since before Penelope was born. They didn't need a house since they only planned on having one. Their sperm donor was Caradoc Dearborn, a dear friend of Emmeline's.

Alice and Frank married each other and had three kids, Neville Longbottom, Juliana Longbottom, and Nicky Longbottom, who are twins. Alice and Frank tried to make it work, but they just weren't in love with each other anymore. So, when the twins were four and Neville was ten, they had a separation and went their different ways. They have partial custody, Neville, Juliana, and Nicky go to Frank's on the weekends, but they live with Alice.

Frank found Hestia Jones and married her when Neville was fourteen and the twins were eight. Frank was Hestia's first husband and wanted kids. Frank gave her two, the oldest is William, and the youngest is Alexander, Will, and Alex for short. Their two years apart, and William is ten years apart from the twins and sixteen years from Neville.

Alice married Narcissa Black, who also had a previous marriage to Lucius Malfoy and had twins, Lila and Draco Malfoy. When Narcissa left, she took the twins with her and switched their last names to Black as she did to herself. Lucius isn't allowed visitation since Narcissa has full custody. They didn't want any more kids. Five was enough for them to raise.

Sirius and Remus married fairly young but didn't have any kids until they were twenty. They named her Violet Lupin. They had another a year after Violet. They named her Hermione, and their last was five years after Hermione, Teddy. Violet and Hermione's surrogate was a friend of Mary's, who she recommended to them. Monica was very sad to tell them she couldn't carry their third child as she didn't think she could do it, so they went with Sirius's cousins, daughter, Nymphadora Tonks.

Peter and Sybill married, and they had one child and named her Cassandra after one of Sybill's ancestors. Peter didn't argue since Enid, his sister, had taken the name he wanted for his kid.

Of course, Barty and Evan married each other, but what was surprising was they had two boys, Lucas and Nicholas, only two years apart. Everyone was surprised when they announced Emma was going to be their surrogate since they didn't even think they wanted kids.

Emma had fallen in love with Amelia. They soon after married and had two kids, Olivia - the oldest - and Camilia - the youngest. The sperm donor was Regulus as he was a dear friend of both of theirs, which is why they went with him.

Edgar married a girl named Jessica and had two girls, Ava and Aria. Aria being the oldest and Ava the youngest. Ava and Aria loved their cousins, Camilia, Olivia, and Susan. They got together on the daily just to hang out.

Susan lived with Emma and Amelia as her parents died from some kind of deadly flu. Amelia and Edgar were sad for months after their brothers - Anthony's - death. Emma was the one who took care of Susan in those months that Amelia couldn't. Jessica came over when she could with Aria to help, but it just made it worse since they now had to take care of three kids when they were already exhausted. Amelia and Edgar got better and started to become theirselves again, but they never were the same people they were before Anthony's death.

Aurora had married Ophelia and later on in 1980 had a boy named Blaise. His sperm donor is unnamed as they went with a random person on the website. They decided to only have one as he also had "cousins" to play with.

Andromeda had, of course, married her boyfriend of ten years and had two girls, Nymphadora and Nina Tonks. Dora is the oldest and Nina, the youngest.

Bellatrix had married Rodolphus Lestrange and had two kids with him, Mandy and Cara Lestrange. She also had four kids with Tom Riddle, Tom, Mattheo, Aliana, and Delphini Riddle. Her last and final kid was with Charles Berkshire. She named him Lorenzo Berkshire. Tom is the oldest, Aliana and Mattheo are twins which Bellatrix had a year after Tom, Mandy was born five years after the twins, Cara was born a year after Mandy, Delphini was born a year after Cara, and Lorenzo was born nine years after Delphini. Rodolphus had tried to get her to kill her cousins and sisters, but she refused and ran away later that night with her kids. She changed her kid's names to Black as she did to hers and later on remarried Rita Skeeter.

Rita hasn't ever been married as she was in love with someone else who was already married off and had kids. When Rita found out the woman she loved had ran away, she knew exactly where to find her, with her sisters. A few years later, they married, and Rita took Bellatrix's name. They decided that having one more kid just to have one matching Rita's DNA wasn't worth it and decided to have Delphini be the youngest.

Voldemort was defeated by Dorcas, Marlene, Lily, Pandora, Regulus, and James in 1990 when they were all the Potter house. Voldemort had, of course, hit there first as he didn't succeed in killing them the first time. Marlene had answered the door first with her son, Jack, in her arms.

She ran to the sitting room where everyone was sitting and yelled Voldemort is here before grabbing her wand and firing curses at the door before going to get Artemis and Aries to make sure they were safe. James followed behind her, wand in hand, getting his kids to safety. Lily had Lewis in her arms and her wand in her other and followed behind them to get her kids.

Pandora and Dorcas ran upstairs after a big thud and burst in the nursery. James had immediately run out to find Regulus when he didn't come in after. He saw Regulus at the bottom of the stairs laying on the ground, Voldemort hovering over him wand directed at him.

He must have heard James run out because Voldemort snapped his head up to him and fired a curse. James dodgged it. He hears Marlene scream from inside the room before someone comes out of it. James whips his head back to Voldemort just as he fires a curse at Artemis.

"No!" James yelled before hugging Artemis just before the curse hit her. James fell to the ground just as Dorcas came out to grab Artemis. James screamed in pain. It was the Crucio spell.

James hears Voldemort's cynical laugh. It pierced through his body and sent a shiver down his spine. "The great James Potter is going to die from a Crucio? How pathetic. I don't think they should even call you 'great'. I mean, protecting a child? That's how you die? Pathetic, really."

It stops. James can move again. He muscles through the pain and stands up to face him. "You wouldn't protect your children? Oh, that's right. Bellatrix took them. They don't have a father."

He sneers. "Do not talk to me that way! Imperio!"

"No!" James hears Marlene yell. "That's my best friend you mother fucking asshole!" She runs out with her wand. "Crucio!"

He dodges the curse. A death eater behind him hits Marlene with the cruciatus curse. She falls to the ground screaming in pain before passing out.

That must have been what happened to Regulus.

The death eater and Voldemort walk up the steps and stop in front of the nursery. "Stay away from my kids!" Pandora yells.

Voldemort smirks. "Oh, I will." James forcibly walked into the nursery controlled by Voldemort.

Lily and Pandora start breathing heavily and put all their kids behind their back to protect them. Dorcas has a stern face with her kids behind her back. Euphemia, Rose, and Leo are standing off to the side, staring at their aunt, lying on the floor in the hall, and then turn their heads to their father, walking towards them.

"Dad?" Rose says. "What's happening? Where's Papa?"

"Kill them." Voldemort says. "Kill your children."

James's mind flicks back to him at that moment and casts his patronus. The stag finds Voldemort in his mind and kicks him out. James takes back control and spins around and points his wand at Voldemort. "How did you -"

"Never invade a man's mind and make him kill his kids. It never works out well." Pandora, Dorcas, and Lily pull out their wands and point it at Voldemort. Regulus had apparently woken up and is now standing behind them, pointing his at the death eater. Marlene is beside him, pointing it at the other death eater that was there when James turned around. "You're surrounded. You're not getting away this time."

"Crucio!" Regulus yells, sending the death eater to drop to the ground.

"Crucio!" Dorcas's was aimed at the other death eater. That one also falls to the ground in pain.

"Avada kedavra!" Lily says, sending one of the death eaters to its death. Pandora does the other.

Dorcas aims her wand behind Regulus head. "Avada Kedavra." Marlene and Regulus spin around their killing spells going off as they go down the stairs.

"You're followers will be dead soon and soon you will be, too." Voldemort tries to aparate out, but James stop him. "Crucio!"

"You're not getting away this time." Dorcas says.

"You tried to kill us when Harry and Lillian were babies." Pandora says.

"You're not going to have another chance to do that." Lily says, finishing her wife's sentence.

"Crucio!" James yells. Voldemort falls to the floor. "You might have succeeded in killing Anthony, but you left his daughter. You won't get her or anyone else. You'll be dead before that happens."

Regulus and Marlene come back up the steps. "They're all dead."

"Avada Kedavra!" James finally yells, killing Voldemort himself. Hopefully, for the final time.
