Heaven in Hiding [H.P.] ✓

Returning home

Juniper kept her head up high, same as Regulus, as they made their way through the sheer endless corners of suffering that were hidden behind the walls of Azkaban. They don't dare look into the cells at either side of them, merely following behind the clearly very unnerved guard. They don't dare look into the cell behind them, knowing that Bellatrix, their once friend, was in there. Her laughter having fallen silent at the sight of them. "The keys.", Juniper demands, her blue eyes staring at the pile of misery in the very corner of the room. The guard hands her the keys and she unlocks the cell door. She walks in first, Regulus following after her. "Sirius.. Puppy..", she says softly, kneeling down before him. "I can't hear you..", the man whimpers. "Look up, please, Sirius. Give me your hands." Slowly.. he looks up. His eyes are red and hollow. He had been crying a lot, undoubtedly. "Ju.. JUNI!!" He jumps up, but is held back by the shackles. "Reg?! What are you.." Juniper quickly unlocks the shackles and chains on him, pulling him into her arms. "You're coming home with us. With us and Harry, my sweet. You're coming home with us. You're free. You are safe now." Regulus joins them on the ground, embracing his brother as well as he cries into their arms. "They are looking for Pettigrew now. We took on Dumbledore even.. but we got you out.. and we got the Wizengamot to hand the little Potter over to you, you being his legal guardian and all.", Regulus informs his brother with a smile and Sirius simply hugs them both even tighter. "Alright, my sweet, sweet baby boys..", Juniper sniffels, trying to put herself back together. Let us go. No need to leave the little Potter with that bitch any longer.", she says, both men getting up, each of them holding onto one of her hands. They hand back the keys to the guard and Junipers gaze involuntarily flickers over to the opposite cell. Bellatrix was staring at her. Eyes wide. Hair messier than ever. She looked horrible. Their eyes meet and for a moment she feels a surge of pain in her very soul. Quickly shaking it off she gently guides her two boys out of the prison, apparating them away as soon as possible.

The glamour charm on Sirius truly was doing wonders. And she and Regulus both glare at the muggles treating the young boy like a sack of dirt. Before they, however, can even say anything, Juniper lifts her wand, moving it their direction swiftly before smiling a cruel smile at them. "Try and enjoy your life..", she smirks before gently guiding all of her boys away. "What did you do?" "Nothing, really. I thought about placing a bad-luck hex I created on them.. but then I decided I like them being so paranoid that they ruin themselves more." "You ARE a Slytherin!", Sirius chuckles. "Through and through, boys. Now.. let's go home. Sirius, you have to meet my son Adrian!", she chirps, making both men laugh and the little Potter smile a bit. With that, they apparate.

"Mum!!" Juniper catches her little boy in her arms, lifting him up to her chest, pressing a kiss to his black hair. "Hello my precious little treasure.", she breathes, smiling as he cuddles into her arms. "So this is your son then..", Sirius hums. "I still have to meet Pucey though." "Atlas! Sirius and Harry are here!" The man emerges from the house, walking up to them. "And I was wondering where Adrian went. Rowena knows he has some sort of sixth sense to know where you are constantly. "He is my little boy after all.", Juniper pridefully says, kissing him for a moment. "Atlas? This is Sirius. Sirius? My husband Atlas Pucey." Sirius, holding Harry carefully with one arm, greets the black haired man. "Good to meet you." "Indeed. The house is never quite full enough, is it? And my parents in law love it when they have more children to pamper anyways.", Atlas chuckles, patting Regulus's back. "Right, Reg?" The younger Black brother flushes a bit under his older brothers amused stare. "Right.." "Let's get inside. Sirius needs a warm meal and Harry.. needs a mean in general." "Agreed." They walk into the large home. "Lola? Please prepare some food for five and a half people.. and some formula for the baby.", Atlas says loudly. "Five and a half?, Sirius asks. "I counted in two meals for you and half a meal for Adrian.", Atlas shrugs. Sirius cracks a small smile. "I think I like him, Juni." "Yeah.. I like him too. A lot actually.", the blonde snickers, earning a protesting whine from her son. "But you I like the most, of course.", she whispers into his ear, making him giggle a bit and peek up at her before kissing her cheek. He sure was a mommas boy. And she wouldn't have it any other way.
