Forever and longer - James Potter

Bonus chapter

"MUM!" 

"MUUUUMMMMMM!"

The adults had tried to ignore it, but Harry had inherited his father's ability to make anyone drop anything at any given time.

"oh for goodness sake! What Harry?" Arabella groaned

The adults were currently in the parlor of 12 Grimmauld Place, the order's headquarter. After the Black parents died, the house became abandoned, and well since Walburga and Orion Black died with no children technically, there was no one to claim it. Sirius and Regulus offered it to the order as a headquarter.

"easy bels" James tutted

Harry strutted into the parlor with a scowl on his face, Vega following close behind.

"Vega Lupin-Black, what did you do now?" Remus asked his oldest daughter

"she charmed my underwear"

"nothing" was said simultaneously

The set of parents frowned at their children. Really, it was only Remus and Arabella. Sirius and James were laughing their bloody heads off. 

Arabella slapped James' bicep and scowled, "James" she warned which immediately shut her husband up and slapped Sirius' arm with a pleading look.

"again? really Vega?" Remus sighed

Vega went to respond when Peter stormed into the room with Liam and Emmeline at his side. Emmeline Vance had married Peter about 10 years after Violet's death. It was very unexpected, to say the least, nonetheless, everyone was very happy for the boy. 

Peter looked frantic and was completely pale, Emmeline was the same. But not Liam. Liam looked, for lack of a better word, livid. His eyes were wide and his face red. His fists were clenched so tight his fingers might pop out the other side. 

In Peter's hand was a newspaper with Dumbledore's face plastered across it, above the picture "Escaped from Azkaban. Two days before dementor's kiss"

The whole room stilled as if everything went into slow motion.

1996. 16 years had the group been trying to forget the man who killed their friend. They hadn't had much success but not a day went by they didn't try. Of course, they found their distractions, hobbies, things to fill their days. I mean, the Potter's had four children for goodness sake. 

"w-what does that mean?" Harry stuttered

"what does what mean?" Marlene said as she, Mia, Monty, Finnick, and Celeste entered the kitchen with Regulus and Griffin.

Griffin saw the look on Arabella's face and immediately picked up that something was wrong. It was the same look on her face when they found out Dumbledore was a traitor.

"he's out" James gritted through his teeth

"who?" Celeste questioned

Regulus picked up his daughter and put her head on his shoulder as his mouth mouthed "dumbledore"

Remus nodded solemnly

Silence fell like a blanket on the room and all eyes subconsciously traveled from Liam to Arabella, who had stayed silent the entire time

"he's gonna go after the twins," Sirius said pointing out the elephant in the room

"you're not going back," Arabella said looking at no one in particular, but everyone knew it was directed at Remus and the children
