-"darling would you please come down here?" Your father called from the living room

It was late January and everything had been just like before New Years, the world kept on doing as if nothing had happened between Walburga and her son that night, you were the only one that heard it, but why had he said nothing? Was this usual? Was she a completely different person from what you thought she was?

Every time you saw her your mind couldn't help but wonder, you felt even more terrified of her, and it scared you to death to think she was an imposter specially because she was the closest friend your mother had

-"yes father?" you smiled as you walked inside the sitting room, your mother was sitting on one of the beautiful imported sage and gold arm chairs your father had bought for your home, meanwhile your father stood next to her with a ginormous grin on his face

-"hello darling, we've got something to tell you" your mother smiled

Your father walked towards you before picking you up and sitting you on your mother's lap, he stroked your chubby cheek lovingly

-"your mother is pregnant" his eyes glistened

-"you are going to be a big sister" your mother rubbed your back

-"I am?" You asked excitedly

-"yeah" she laughed

-"just like Sirius?" You were in complete awe

-"just like Sirius" your father nodded

It was fascinating to you, you were finally going to have someone to play with twenty four/seven, you were the only one of your cousins to not have a sibling and now you were finally part of the club, your reaction was blissful and genuine, something Walburga's was not

-"pregnant?" Her eyes widened in full surprise for a millisecond before regaining her composure "well, congratulations dear, two is quite the number" she said while looking at her youngest child

With your mother pregnant the public appearances lowered to the minimum, your mother's cheeks, belly and limbs started to cushion slowly, looking sweeter within each day, she would also get sleepy constantly, making her take consistent naps throughout the day, concurrently your father took some time off from work so he could take better care of you and your mother

Promptly you found yourself having wonderful evenings with him, of course you had spend wonderful afternoons with him and your mother in the past, but it wasn't common for it to be just the two of you, your mother had always accompanied you, but now that she spent quite a generous time napping, you and your father's bond strengthened a wealth

For a while you stopped seeing the Black's as often as you once did, the days you would have spent playing in their playroom or eating at their dinner table, you spent it going on picnics, riding bikes, going to muggle amusement parks, museums, toy stores, eating ice cream, going to the park and doing every fun activity ever invented with your father, your mother would even go with you from time to time, there was no time to think about the Black brothers, instead you were too busy creating core memories with your father

When April arrived, you and your father's interactions seemed to precipitously cease, he suddenly found himself drowning in the work he had put aside to care of you, now you were left alone in the big house with your sleeping mother, just sitting in your bedroom floor while brushing your kitten's fur
