Heaven in Hiding [H.P.] ✓

Screw up

Adrian, Harry, Sirius and Regulus enter the Pucey household together, seeing as the Black brothers had picked up the Slytherin and his somewhat little brother both.
Inside they can hear Juniper Pucey curse and yell, and Atlas Pucey laugh loudly. A loud crash is heard, then Atlas Pucey runs down the stairs. "I am going to kill you, Atlas!!!" Juniper Pucey yells, following him down the stairs, throwing stinging hexes after him as if she were the personification of a machine gun. "Mum!" The mildly amused teenage boy makes her freeze in her tracks. "Adrian!! Salazar be thanked. The only boy in my house I can trust.", Juniper says, embracing her son who hugs her back. "What's going on?" "Your father.." "You're going to be an older brother.", Atlas calls over out of the distance. "And whose fault is that?! I said no more except if you push the next one out you bloody fucking..." Juniper barks, continuing her hunt, while the four fresh arrivals now alltogether laugh at the show. "Mum! Do you know already if I get a sister or another brother then?" "Sister!", Juniper calls over, while magically slinging a pillow into the back of her husband's head who tumbles. A chance she takes, tackling him to the ground and manually whacking the laughing man with the pillow again and again. "Oh, I'm joining this.", Sirius says, grabbing a pillow. The other three follow his example and soon there is a full on pillow fight going on in the Pucey household that calms the situation down until everyone, exhausted, lays on the ground. "Rowena.. I'm lucky." "Shut up before I hit you again.", Juniper threatens tiredly, raising her pillow. Atlas simply tugs his wife into a hug. "I hate you.", she grumbles, snuggling into his arms. "I love you too, Frost." "I fear we'll have to clean up this mess.", Regulus hums, making all of them groan. "Scourgify.", Juniper mumbles, swinging her wand and the house begins to clean itself. "I don't know about you, my boys and Atlas. But I am hungry. Time for food!" Atlas scoffs, pressing a kiss to her temple before pulling her up. "I'll take over for that." "Food poisoning.", Adrian simply says and Atlas glares playfully at his son. "That was ONE time!!" "One time too often. I'll do it. You stay out of my kitchen.", Juniper says, a small smile on her lips. "I'll help, Mum." "Me too.", Harry chimes in. "I can help too.", Regulus offers. "You wouldn't even let me close to the food.. so I won't even offer.", Sirius tells her and she nods. "Damn right."
They move towards the kitchen, beginning to make the food, working however Juniper puts them to work. Sirius and Atlas simply watching them while conversing.

"When are Marcus, Graham and Draco arriving?" "Next weekend.", Adrian informs his father. Atlas hums and nods. "And Remus?" "He'll be over this evening. He had a cold recently.. so he's a bit exhausted still." "Oh no! I'll have potions ready for him.", Juniper hums, mostly to herself.

Things quiet down mostly. "Can we help decorating my baby sisters room?", Adrian asks. His mother simply nods. "Sure..." "Wait. Does that mean you won't be coming to Hogwarts next year?" "I'll stop by but.. It won't be as often as this year." Both boys glare at Atlas for a moment. "We'll miss you, auntie June." "You'll miss me even more if you hear who Dumbledore has in sight for the job next year." "Who?" "Gilderoy Lockhart." "Salazar." "Who's that?" "An absolute fool that somehow, I am sure by cheating, made it to being a famous wizard and author, writing about 'his adventures'. He was a Ravenclaw, a couple years older than me. Rowena, the guy has less brain matter than a guppy.", Atlas explains. "If Dumbledore hired him maybe he.." "Trust me, Harry. The man is barely qualifies for breathing on his own. If a fly would enter his one ear it would be able to pass right through to the other... There's nothing in between his ears... It's basically just a wind tunnel." "Godric..", the boy sighs. "Why is he a teacher then?" "Don't ask me. He was probably the cheapest replacement available." Adrian chuckles. "No worries, Harry. Mum will still have the holidays to tutor us in everything the guy will fail to teach us during the year." Juniper nods. "Correct. And I'll still show up occasionally to put the idiot in his place.", she promises, gently nudging her two boys who share a grin with her.
"Thanks, mum."
