"So, should we do something fun?" Teddy asked, leaning back against one of the counters.

"We can't." Hermione said disappointedly,

"Why?" James interrupted,

"We're wanted by the ministry, we can't go outside." Ron explained, Teddy fell silent.

"Dad was wanted?" Lily asked, bewildered, Harry nodded slowly.

"The ministry's currupt with deatheaters, all who want me dead." He sighed, Teddy had expected a more amusing answer, he'd hoped for one atleast.

“You're alot more light-hearted in our time.” Lily mumbled, Harry cocked his head to the side and back as he flicked his eyebrows up in a sort of well-yeah look.

“We can have a few things to do here.” Hermione suggested,
“I think there's some exploding snap upstairs.” The group exchanged a few looks before agreeing mutually. Hermione went to fetch the game and came back down, the group played three rounds, that took an excruciating amount of time given how many players their were, before it fell dark.

“I'm tired.” Albus complained,

“Me too, where are mum and dad?” James asked imaptiently,

“We've only been here a couple hours James,” Teddy began, “Give them time.”

It took half an hour, but finally, everybody had a place to sleep. Luckily, Grimmauld Place was a large estate.

“You seem sleepy.” James grumbled sarcastically as he tossed and turned, Albus sighed.

“I'm sorry! I can't sleep.” He complained,

“You're not helping!” He scolded, James exhaled.

“They'll find us. I promise.” Albus turned over to face him,

“Really?” He asked, his voice stretching across the spacey room,

“Really. I'm your big brother you have to believe me.” He shrugged, turning back into his pillow tiredly, Albus smiled,

“Okay.” He said simply before laying back down.

Just as the boys were about to drift off into a peaceful slumber, the door burst open and they heard a loud voice speaking,

“Oh my merlin, you guys have to see this!” Lily squealed, trying not to laugh.

“God dammit, can't a big brother get some sleep!” James complained, Lily stuck her tongue out at him.

“Come on!” She beckoned them, neither moved.

“Why? What's up Lil?” Albus asked, rubbing his eyes,

“Mum and dad, sat in silence, downstairs. Hilarity will insue.”

“Awkward silences will ensue.” James piped up, his face pressed hard into his pillow.

“Excactly.” Lily rolled her eyes, she walked over to him and dragged his arm up,

“Ugghhhhh.” James argued. Albus stood up,
