The Unexpected

More Good News

Harry's eyes widened as he realized. "No. Mags, what the hell!?" He shouted. Magnolia looked over at him as Remus let out a breath of relief. "Oh thank merlin. I thought I'd have to live with that on my conscience forever." Harry pointed at Remus. "He knew!" Magnolia nodded. "Yeah. He was the second person I told." Harry hit his forehead with the palm of his hand. "I can't believe you right now." 

Sirius looked between them. "Am I missing something? I'm so confused right now." Remus turned to Magnolia. He motioned to Sirius. "Would you like to do the honors?" Magnolia nodded, shamefully and looked over at Sirius. "Fred isn't the father," Sirius's jaw dropped. "Draco Malfoy is." Sirius's eyes went as wide as saucers. "Goblin's piss, that's-that's," Magnolia expected a bad reaction like everyone else. Harry smiled smugly knowing Magnolia was about to get it. "Bloody amazing. I love a good wizarding scandal." Harry's and Magnolia's jaws both dropped. "What!?" They shouted in disbelief. 

"Oh-ho-ho, The family's finally getting what they deserve, Remus!" Sirius shouted. Magnolia and Harry watched in disbelief. "Narcissa's going to freak. Lucious is going to have a fit. It's going to be great," Sirius spun towards Magnolia. "Quick we got to get this kid listening to feminist podcasts and wizard activists. Oh the ancestors are going to have a fit. I can see them rolling in their graves now." Magnolia's brows knitted together. "Excuse me?" Sirius was making absolutely no sense and she was the more confused than when professor Flitwick started talking about singing frogs. 

Sirius clapped his hands together and walked over to Magnolia. He got in her face so their noses were inches from touching. "We are going to make this the nicest kid to ever nice and she's going to love muggles and all of it. Everything they hate." Magnolia took a step back. "Sirius, I think you're getting ahead of yourself. We can-""We absolutely can," Sirius turned towards Remus and Harry. "Alright absolutely no negativity around this baby. Positive energy only. Fawn, Remus, no sarcastic comments. Harry, no bantering with Malfoy around the baby," Sirius turned back to Magnolia. He smiled warmly and laid his hands on her shoulder. "Bambi, you need to befriend the nicest person you know. Who's the nicest person you know?" Magnolia shook her head. "Si-""Harry!" Sirius rushed over to Harry. "Who's the nicest person you know?" He was treating it like a murder investigation. Harry threw his hands up. "Neville Longbottom, Sir." Sirius grinned. "Great. Become his best friend Magnolia. Say it with me: We're making the Malfoy's regret reproducing." 

Magnolia looked over at Remus. "He can't be serious." Remus nodded. "He is Sirius. He's dad Sirius." Sirius grinned and held his hand out for Remus to high five him but Remus never did. "Don't look so smug. I thought it was a clever way to tell them." Magnolia's hands flew to her mouth. "Stop it, you're kidding." Remus and Sirius shook their heads as huge smiles appeared on their faces. "No. Quite serious actually." Remus whispered. 

Magnolia pulled them each of them into a separate hug as Harry stood in the back confused. he hadn't even had time to react to Magnolia's news and now he was being hit with something else that he didn't understand. "What's happening?" Magnolia rolled her eyes. "Honestly Harry, you-""Eh!" Sirius pointed a finger at her giving her a warning look. 

Remus chuckled and looked over at Harry to answer his question. "Me and Sirius got a surrogate. She's only a few weeks along but we have hope." Harry's face lit up. "That's wonderful. So who's..." Harry trailed off as he motioned between the two. "Sirius'. We uh didn't want to risk the baby inheriting my," Remus cleared his throat. "Thing." Sirius's face fell. "I doubt it would, Remus," He looked down at the floor before another smile grew on his face. "Should I tell him the other news?" Remus nodded, the smile and gleam in his eye returning. 

Sirius turned back to the teens. "It's twins. We weren't expecting them but it's twice the blessings really. I guess it makes up for not having them sooner, hey Remus?" Remus nodded. "I guess so." Magnolia smiled. "Maybe our kids will be best friends." Remus nodded. "Hopefully."
