Sirius popped open the bottle of wine, and everyone in the living room broke out into applause. Arthur Weasley was finally discharged from St. Mungo's, and everyone was on cloud nine.
The adults had their share of wine; the children had their butterbeers. To join the company at Grimmauld's Place, Remus and Tonks had arrived too. And after years, Sirius Black had this joyous grin on his face. His house being filled with people that were basically his only family was overwhelming him.
"Oh.. Godric, I wish I was there! Are you kidding me?" Ginny groaned, her expressions showing just how content she was after hearing the story. Even Hermione, who'd usually disapprove of such things, and Harry, who was a bit off these days, had huge smiles on their faces.
"Can we like.. preserve your memory or something?" asked Ron, grinning. "I would love to watch that on loop."
"No way!" Ria chuckled as the group of children laughed. She turned towards the woman who had narrated the incident to them. "Tonks, how did you know that?"
"Does it really matter, though?" asked Fred, thoroughly amused. "You slapped Umbridge, then hexed her, then stomped on her nose, twice! Is that not enough?"
"Asteria Marlene!" Isabella exclaimed as she walked towards her, along with Remus. "You did such a thing, and didn't mention it to me?!"
Asteria gasped at Remus. "Moony! You snitched, didn't you? To both of them?!" she asked in disbelief, while the man gave her an apologetic look. "I trusted you!" she exclaimed, having a look of fake hurt on her face.
"You told him and not me? Your own mother?" asked Isabella, resting her palm on her chest, and the group chuckled again. Ria rolled her eyes.
"Anyway.. Forget it." Isabella chuckled. "But— But you actually did that.. Honey.." she trailed away, and no one could miss the 'proud mother' expression that was gracing her face.
"Such a bad influence.." Remus muttered under his breath, chuckling. But she had already heard it.
"Excuse me?" She asked, appearing offended. "I am the bad influence now? I'll tell you what, children.. Tonks.." She grabbed Remus's ear and showed his face to everyone. "This man.. your Professor, who pretends to be so innocent.. was the mastermind behind the biggest, dirtiest, but the best pranks we ever played while we were children."
Remus attempted to walk away, but Isabella pulled him back again, making them laugh. "This man.. came up with the brilliant plan to set up fake, scary clowns, and enchant them to scare Slytherins on the night of Halloween."
Some of them gasped, while some laughed. "Saints! I would've hated you." Ria gaped at him.
"Merlin, Remus! How many children did you traumatise?" Tonks asked with a laugh.
